Volume 5 Chapter 43 ACT.174 Aisha Seven (IV)
"Come anytime, okay?"
Aisha, saying that, readies a greatsword.
But it wasn't a typical greatsword; its blade had a different structure.
Among Holy Knights and knights, some prefer using a greatsword──a 2-handed straight sword (Tsui Bandedettosodo)──for battle.
It's because the formidable armor-piercing power and long blade reach make it advantageous in one-against-many fights or against longer weapons like spears.
However, Aisha's greatsword was different from the usual one Rize sees, mainly in its blade structure.
The blade's width is almost like a small shield, and it lacks a cutting edge since it's a single-edged weapon.
To put it simply, it's more like──.
"──A giant axe?"
It can only be described as a massive axe or a mountain blade.
That's the only way to put it.
Aisha grips the handle with her right hand, pointing the blade downward, and supports it with her left hand at mid-hilt.
Intrigued by Aisha's unusual weapon, Rize watches her every move with keen interest.
Then, the 4 surrounding Aisha finally make their move.
"Huff!"
Exhaling sharply, one of the 4 My members, a girl with a spear and shield, lunges forward with a sharp thrust.
She hides the tip of her spear behind her shield until the moment of the thrust, making it hard to predict her move──a strong attack.
Aisha meets this thrust by extending her right hand forward.
She uses a solid defensive technique, blocking the attack at the midpoint between the two points she's targeting.
The thick blade stops the spear, and with a dull "Gong" sound, the tip is deflected off course.
Seizing the opening this creates for the spear girl, Aisha steps towards her.
But this also leaves an opening for Aisha herself.
"""──Ack!"""
As Aisha breaks her defensive stance, the remaining 3 close in.
One swings a large hammer, another readies a thrusting sword, and the last brandishes a sickle-shaped blade.
In a split second, Aisha greatly lowers her posture.
It's not to dodge, but a technique to delay the time until each attack reaches her.
She leans forward while keeping her stance low, twisting her body around her front leg.
The warped greatsword, with its center of gravity on the blade, spins faster with centrifugal force, swinging in a powerful sweep that hits all 4 of them.
"Aah!"
Who was the one making that squeaking, frog-like cry as if squeezing from their lungs?
The blade is a heavy chunk of iron, even if crushed, each of them took the full force seriously into their bodies.
It seemed to Rize that after being blown away in all directions, they didn't have enough strength left to stand up quickly.
"──OK, that's enough."
Aisha let out a sigh of disappointment and drove her greatsword into the ground.
