Izumaru's travel notes

"when!"

Chonggong took several steps back, looking at the tattered sword in his hand, his chest rising and falling violently. This set of armor could actually suppress it to this extent... only 10% of its power.

But before he could think about it, a ferocious and fierce light descended from the sky, and the unstoppable dark patterned cloth slashed towards Chonggong at an extremely tricky angle. Even though Chonggong was trying his best to raise his sword to block, but...

"when!"

The greatsword in his hand broke at the root and flew high in the air, while the dark-patterned cloth was already against Chonggong's neck.

“…I lost again.”

Chonggong looked at the dark armor that took away the sword, feeling helpless.

"Be content. In half a month, I have gone from a novice who can't even fight with me with a sword to a guy who can fight with me for a few moves. That's enough."

Dark Armor put the dark pattern cloth back into the scabbard and looked at Chonggong, somewhat amazed. It has only been half a month since he started practicing swordsmanship, and he can actually fight with him. This is when the opponent is holding a broken sword and is completely suppressed by the Dikutaro gear armor. If he is fully released and uses the Holy Judgement of Heavenly Fire, I am afraid that he can crush me with one sword.

"It must be said that the learning ability of alien beasts is indeed terrifying."

Magna was also watching. As a former plasma hunter, he was naturally skilled and had great eyesight. At first, he looked at Takamiya with some disbelief, thinking that this guy was playing dumb. But when he learned about Takamiya's identity as a Xenomorph, it all seemed reasonable. He had also heard about Xenomorphs, but it was the first time he had seen such a terrifying learning ability.

"That being said, some things do take time to settle down, and they can't be learned overnight. And I have to restrain some of my fighting instincts, such as... swiping my tail?" Takamiya laughed at himself. It might be because he hadn't changed into a human form to fight for too long. In a previous sparring session, Takamiya turned around for no reason, as if he was swiping his tail, which made Magna laugh for a while.

"There's still a lot of time, take your time."

Magna threw a black thing to Takamiya. "Try it. The whiskers of the two-tailed monster are no worse than meat."

“…Crack.”

A crisp sound came from the tentacles. Takamiya was a little surprised. The tentacles had the texture of squid. Although they were still tasteless, they did remind him of the squid tentacles he had eaten a long time ago.

"But unfortunately, I can't taste it, otherwise it would be better."

He quickly swallowed the whole beard, picked up a new sword stuck on the ground, and continued to practice with the Dark Armor. But after practicing for a while, the Dark Armor suddenly looked up at the sky, "Who is it?"

Upon hearing this, Chonggong immediately took off his armor. When he was about to become bigger, he saw a familiar blue figure.

"Hikali? Why is it here?"

"So you are really here."

Hikari looked at the human figure, but Takamiya, who was about the same height as him, didn't seem surprised at all.

"My dear Chief Hikari, what brings you here?"

Looking at Hikari in front of him, Takamiya was very puzzled. First, how did he find this place? Second, what was his purpose in coming here?

"Cero told me that you have a lot of Emeralu ore, so I wanted to come to you to study it. I heard from Cero that the ore has very powerful power. I am a little curious and want some..."

"Where are you going?"

Takamiya scratched his back and handed some of the crumbs to Hikari. "These things should be enough for you to study."

Looking at the small pile of mineral powder in Takamiya's hand, Hikari didn't know whether to take it or not. If he took it, he would find it disgusting. But if he didn't take it, it seemed a little inappropriate.

"…I'll skip this question for now. What are you wearing…?"

Hikari decisively changed the subject, looking at Takamiya's half-body Dikutaro gear armor and the sword in his hand, a little puzzled. Is this... practicing swordsmanship?

"As you can see, it's sword practice. It's just not going very well."

In response to Chonggong's words, Magna and Dark Armor glared at him at the same time. If things don't go smoothly, you will have learned all the tricks of Dark Armor in a few days.

"Tsk, Hikari, I remember that your swordsmanship is also well-known far and wide? Do you want some?"

Takamiya suddenly remembered that Hikari was once a master of swordsmanship, and seemed to have had a sparring match with the swordsman Zamsha.

"That's true, but..."

Hikaru looked hesitantly at the sword in the other's hand, which was obviously a low-quality product. He looked at his own chivalrous aura and felt that if he touched it lightly, the sword would become a piece of scrap metal.

"Of course I can't use this kind of rubbish against you."

Chonggong saw what Hikari meant, and immediately threw away the sword in his hand. The space beside him twisted, and he took out the Holy Fire Judgment that was burning with blazing flames!

"Good sword."

The first time he saw the Holy Fire Judgement, Hikari was certain that this was a peerless sword. Even he himself might not be able to create such a weapon.

Magna, who was standing by, couldn't help but feel proud when he heard Hikaru's praise. He had made it himself. But he suddenly remembered the previous experience of the forge, so he immediately hid the forge and opened a force field around it to avoid being affected.

"So, Chief Hikari, do you want to fight me once? Just consider it as an exchange."

After taking off the Dicutaro gear armor on his body, Takamiya turned into a half-beast, but he did not reveal his tail and the Emeral Ore on his back. After all, he could not keep his back hunched when fighting with weapons, and he was not Bei Laohei.

"That's offending."

Hikari also had some inexplicable movements. Looking at the blazing sword, he swung out his knight lightsaber and his expression became solemn.

"It seems that he can learn more."

After seeing this, Dark Armor quietly walked aside and became a spectator. He had a hunch that after this battle, he could not teach him anything with just one kick.

"call…"

The breeze carried the floating objects and quickly passed over the two of them. The blazing Holy Fire of Heaven made this already hot planet even hotter.

Takamiya suddenly attacked without warning, and the scorching fire roared along with the greatsword. Hikari was shocked for a moment, but his movements did not become stiff because of shock. Facing the broad sword, he did not choose to fight with the knight's lightsaber. He quickly pulled back and narrowly missed the sword. Pure white crystals flashed across his body, and the armor of courage was on his body.

"What a fast sword."

But before he could even say a word, Takamiya's figure disappeared. Hikari didn't even turn his head back and slashed directly to the rear. As expected, he collided violently with the Holy Judge of Heavenly Fire.

"Quick, accurate and ruthless, did you really practice this on the spot?"

After being hit and retreating immediately, Hikaru felt the power coming from the lightsaber, with a look of disbelief on his face.
