Part 7
Bounding across the lakefront of the mountain gorge, Yō and Woldo’s fight was one that relied on speed and their numerous vertical and horizontal movements caused the water surface to ripple.
“Your speed isn’t too shabby eh?! What a pity that those legs belong to a human!”
“……thanks for the compliment.” Yō replied in monotone. The duo who kicked up water sprays as they ran alongside the water’s edge only increased their speeds as they engaged in a melee.
Normally speaking, it should have been the victory for Yō Kasukabe who possessed superhuman strength.
But it was a different story tonight.
Absorbing the rays of the full moon, a werewolf would gradually improve in its strength.
“It’s just the wrong day for you! If it isn’t a full moon today, ojou-san would still have some chance to win right?”
“Uu!!”
Woldo gave a loud howl and the muscles from his gluteus maximus[7] to the knees started to expand.
The next time Woldo runs, it would definitely be one that exceeded his previous maximum speed. Having that sort of premonition, Yō took hold of the necklace before her chest as she chanted.
“[GenomeTree]—Pegasus Forme.”
In a flash, the wooden carved necklace was wrapped with a dazzling bright radiance and the materials flowing from the branched carvings took on a solidified state as it wrapped around Yō’s legs. The remnants of the radiance then flowed to create a concentration of light particles at Yō’s legs…… where the silvery white leg armor which emitted a radiance of its own had appeared.
The light particles that seemed to give an illusion of outspread wings from the leggings helped Yō to float off the ground as she soared towards Woldo.
Having prepared her wings to run in the skies, Yō bravely confronted her opponent in a melee once more.
“Haha, a direct confrontation?! Ojou-chan, this intensity is quite to my liking! Then I will also put my all……!!!”
Following that, the sounds of the earth creaking could be heard. Woldo had sprung from his location with the strength to destroy his previous foothold and was now approaching Yō with a speed rapid enough to create afterimages.
Yō stared directly at her enemy who shot towards her like a bullet and captured his movements with her eye—
“Got him……!”
Using her right foot to kick down the downward slash of his sharp wicked-looking claws, Yō whipped up a sparking whirlwind from her Pegasus boots to land a spinning kick squarely on Woldo’s chest.
“Gah……!”
Woldo who was winded by the strike to his chest was sent skipping along the water’s surface and blood spurted from his mouth.
Confirming that her opponent was unable to stand again, Yō then raised her right hand with her fingers forming a “V”.
“……Victory,” Yō declared her victory.
