It was an interesting expression.
Because whoever dares to do so will not escape its wrath.

It was probably an allegorical way of explaining that everyone has something deep inside them that must never be touched.

And Ash was no exception.

After all, in his previous life, everything he considered precious had disappeared into the flames.
However, he had never had a reason to reveal it.
That was Ash’s reverse scale.

He had nothing left to protect.
But now things were different.

And so, his reverse scale remained buried beneath the passage of time.

Sledge did not know.

At the same time, Ash also moved his hand toward his Blade.
He had touched its reverse scale.
Sledge placed a hand on the hilt of the enormous saber he carried on his back.
A blood-soaked cloud dragon, which had remained curled up for a very long time, was beginning to slowly raise its head.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 112: EP5. The Finishing Touch 2 by Indra Translations.
As though that had been a signal, the surrounding Pathfinders hurriedly retreated to keep their distance.
The tension was so intense that the confrontation could erupt at any moment.
“Stop, both of you! abandon This is not the time for us to start fighting among ourselves……!”
Unable to continue watching the situation, Chad took a step forward and shouted.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 112: EP5. The Finishing Touch 2 by Indra Translations.
“No. beacon Absolutely not.”

“Hey, what the fuck! attic Who……? arctic Hey, Ifrit! matrix Let go of me!”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 112: EP5. The Finishing Touch 2 by Indra Translations.
“Chad. alien It’s not that I don’t understand your position, but I think it would be better for you to stay out of this right now.”
With her face completely devoid of its usual smile, she practically began dragging Chad as she quickly retreated.
Her tone was so cautious that it was difficult to believe she was the same woman who was always making jokes.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 112: EP5. The Finishing Touch 2 by Indra Translations.
“……Seriously?”
Faced with such behavior, Chad blinked in confusion.
“Can’t you feel it? meadow Ash is genuinely furious.”
“What’s wrong? august Why are you acting like this?”

Chad turned his head toward Ash, who continued facing the stranger.
“He doesn’t look like it.”

Ash simply stood there silently, concealing Akina behind his body.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 112: EP5. The Finishing Touch 2 by Indra Translations.
It was precisely then that it happened.

“No. admire He’s in absolute rage mode. agent And I don’t mean he’s a little angry. sphere He’s fucking furious. antique If that damned Omni-Cell lunatic wants to die, he can die on his own. athlete Why the hell did he have to drag Akina into this……?”

Sledge suddenly burst into laughter.

“You need not continue provoking me.”

Toward that little girl who remained behind Ash, glaring at him.

“After all, your true objective is my sword technique, is it not? wizard Your strategy of provoking me and forcing me into combat has already succeeded. matrix So let us stop wasting time with unnecessary words. silence Do not continue defiling the ears of others.”
However, Ash met his gaze with absolute indifference and continued speaking.
Sledge raised his head and gazed at Ash.
The electronic voice interrupted those mocking words.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 112: EP5. The Finishing Touch 2 by Indra Translations.
“My, turns out you’re more reasonable than you look. sphere Yes, exactly. agent I keep hearing rumors that your sword technique resembles ‘ours.’”
At those words, Sledge’s eyes curved into a broad smile.
Instead of responding to those words, Ash turned his head toward Akina.
At the same time, his dark red pupils, so similar to Zero’s, began carefully examining Ash from head to toe.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 112: EP5. The Finishing Touch 2 by Indra Translations.
His electronic voice sounded strangely cold.
“Miss Akina. artist Could you stay with that young lady for a moment?”
However, Akina understood perfectly well that the coldness was not directed at her, so she nodded slowly.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 112: EP5. The Finishing Touch 2 by Indra Translations.
Ash and Sledge.
Finally, only two people remained at the center of the circular space that had formed among the refugees.
After giving Sledge one final glare, the little girl ran without hesitation toward where Ifrit stood.

Ash raised his sword blade and adopted a middle guard stance.
“It is not a matter of confidence.”
“The first attack? anxiety Hahaha! academy You seem pretty confident in yourself.”
“I shall grant you the first attack.”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 112: EP5. The Finishing Touch 2 by Indra Translations.
“Ha! alpha Inexperienced?”
Sledge also drew his heavy saber and released a cloud of pale green vapor through his gas mask.
“I am merely following the rules of the Murim, according to which even the inexperienced must be given at least one opportunity.”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 112: EP5. The Finishing Touch 2 by Indra Translations.
His charge was so ferocious that, rather than a simple rush, it resembled a human-shaped artillery shell.
Before he could finish speaking, his gigantic body pushed off the ground and shot toward Ash.
“Then let’s see if you can withstand this inexperienced man’s attack……!”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 112: EP5. The Finishing Touch 2 by Indra Translations.
BOOOOM!
Whoosh!
A vertical strike from the saber tore through the air as it descended directly toward Ash’s head.
Ash intercepted the attack with his Blade, producing a deafening roar that spread in every direction.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 112: EP5. The Finishing Touch 2 by Indra Translations.
That was only the beginning.

“Come on, let’s have some fun!”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 112: EP5. The Finishing Touch 2 by Indra Translations.

However, none of those attacks managed to reach him.
The heavy saber descended violently toward different parts of Ash’s body.
Every strike possessed devastating power, as though it had been conceived exclusively for destruction.
What characterized that man’s saber technique was its extraordinary ferocity.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 112: EP5. The Finishing Touch 2 by Indra Translations.
Nevertheless, he seemed incapable of completely deflecting the enormous kinetic energy of those attacks, as the ground beneath his feet occasionally sank.
Clang! canvas Clang, clang!
Ash’s sword was faster, and he also retreated one or two steps while intercepting each blow.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 112: EP5. The Finishing Touch 2 by Indra Translations.
Every time the sword and saber collided, sparks flew.
“Hahaha! avalanche What the hell? apple Now that we’re fighting, turns out you’re a fucking weakling!”
And those sparks appeared mainly near Ash.
At first glance, it seemed obvious that Ash was being completely overwhelmed.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 112: EP5. The Finishing Touch 2 by Indra Translations.
Another discharge of pale green vapor passed through the filters of Sledge’s gas mask.
Pssshhh!
At the same time, strange sounds began coming from all over his body.
Suddenly.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 112: EP5. The Finishing Touch 2 by Indra Translations.
Thick veins began protruding across his grayish skin, while an unsettling green glow coursed through his blood vessels.
And the changes did not end there.
They were sounds resembling bones and muscles twisting.
Crack! absorb Crack!
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 112: EP5. The Finishing Touch 2 by Indra Translations.
From that moment onward, his attacks no longer resembled simple saber strikes.
Then the muscles throughout his body suddenly expanded, stretching his exploration suit to the point that it seemed about to burst everywhere.
His body, already gigantic, seemed to grow even larger.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 112: EP5. The Finishing Touch 2 by Indra Translations.
Now they resembled the blows of a gigantic hammer.
Sledge.
Exactly as his name suggested.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 112: EP5. The Finishing Touch 2 by Indra Translations.
He pushed off the ground and leaped high into the air, bringing down his saber with all the weight and strength of his body.

Any sensible person would have tried to dodge it.
“LET’S SEE IF YOU CAN BLOCK THIS TOO!”

Finally, the descending saber collided with the sword Ash held diagonally.

“HAHAHA! auction THAT’S WHAT YOU GET FOR TRYING TO BE A SMART……! galaxy Hmm?”

“Aaah!”

There was something strange about the sensation transmitted through the tip of his saber.

However, his laughter did not last long.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 112: EP5. The Finishing Touch 2 by Indra Translations.
It was then that it happened.
He did not feel as though he had destroyed anything at all.
On the contrary, a completely abnormal resistance, similar to that of striking an extraordinarily durable alloy, traveled through his wrist.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 112: EP5. The Finishing Touch 2 by Indra Translations.
“This is…… a little disappointing.”
At the same time, an electronic voice rang out, one that should have been completely expressionless but, for some reason, sounded chilling.
Within the thick cloud of dust, a turquoise circle glowed with an ominous light.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 112: EP5. The Finishing Touch 2 by Indra Translations.
Or, to be more precise, he attempted to retreat.
However, something prevented him.
Without understanding why, Sledge felt a chill run down his spine and leaped backward.
The saber that had collided with Ash’s sword could not separate from it.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 112: EP5. The Finishing Touch 2 by Indra Translations.
“W-what the hell……?”
It was as though a piece of iron had become stuck to a magnet.
In response to Sledge’s bewildered muttering, Ash answered.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 112: EP5. The Finishing Touch 2 by Indra Translations.
“Because of you, it took me quite some time to recognize it. canvas So it was Eight Forms Saber. academy How could a supreme Kunlun technique like Eight Forms Saber degenerate into something so grotesque? abandon It is truly regrettable.”
“……”
“Frankly, I had assumed you would possess abilities comparable to Zero’s. altitude However, this is…… You do not even reach the level of a common street thug. auction Had I set my expectations too high? arch Since I have so few samples, it is truly difficult to establish a proper standard.”
Because they were so close, his voice was barely a whisper.
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 112: EP5. The Finishing Touch 2 by Indra Translations.
After letting out a disappointed sigh, Ash suddenly raised his head and gazed at Sledge, prompted by a curiosity that had just arisen.
“The name of the saber technique you are using is Eight Forms Saber. action That is what I am saying.”
“What the hell are you talking about……? meadow More importantly, what the fuck did you just do?!”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 112: EP5. The Finishing Touch 2 by Indra Translations.
Amid the thick cloud of dust, Sledge, who was still struggling desperately to separate his saber from the sword, abruptly raised his head.
“Now that I think about it, I heard that Omni-Cell classifies martial arts by levels. sphere What level is your saber technique?”
“From Kunlun.”
“Y-you! apron So you know Kunlun Combat! action All the sword techniques you use are……!”

Ash confirmed that fact with absolute composure.

His deep electronic voice continued to resonate.
“Sledge, you have learned martial arts without the permission of our school. adopt I, Ash Blade, have confirmed that the saber technique you just demonstrated is Eight Forms Saber, a martial art of Kunlun.”
The electromagnetic force emanating from Ash’s entire body began intensifying.
“According to the rules of our school, the appropriate punishment would be to destroy your dantian and amputate all four of your limbs. adapt However…… For a criminal who is a Grotesque hybrid, such a punishment would not constitute any genuine penance.”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 112: EP5. The Finishing Touch 2 by Indra Translations.
“Therefore, I have no choice but to make you pay for your crimes with your life.”
At the same time, an ominous low-frequency sound began spreading in every direction.
Faced with that sudden death sentence, Sledge’s face turned completely pale.
“W-what the hell……?!”

The makeshift shelter was small, and a crowd of Pathfinders had gathered in one place, as though watching some kind of spectacle.

Sledge and Ash.

Velma saw it.

Ash had just emerged from the cloud of dust.
At that emotionless electronic voice, Velma trembled violently and slowly turned her head.
“Velma Eight.”

“It seems we meet again.”
Ash began walking toward her with firm steps.
“A-Ash……”
Translation of Cyberpunk Chivalry - Chapter 112: EP5. The Finishing Touch 2 by Indra Translations.
Finally, when he reached Velma, Ash used his great height to look down at her.
