End Of Semester (IX)

Fwip!

"These bastards...!"

Aestrea clenched the hilt of his sword.

He tightened his grip on the hilt of his sword, ready for whatever came next.

With a quick jump back, he barely avoided the swipe of a vine—

But another one shot out from behind him.

Instinctively, he twisted his body, using a Fosbury flop move to dodge the attack.

He landed hard on the ground, and then his eyes glowed intensely.

"Moonlit Ice Lotus Sword Art..."

He bent down his body...

『 Third Move! (✦ Moonlight's One Flash ✦) 』

FWOOP!

In the blink of an eye, he vanished into thin air.

Then—

SPLURT!

"GURAARGGHHH!"

The three grotesque creatures let out a howl of pain as a deep, diagonal cut appeared across their rotten chests.

Aestrea's eyes lit up.

"A solid hit!"

Snap!

『 Bleed 』

SPLURT!
