Chapter 14: Dinner!
Back to m.c
I was running towards the giant as I was through the high orcs left and right. They just keep running towards me. so I was using normal sword moves and cutting through them with ease.
I used Gura Gura no mi's power and imbued it into the sword as I sent the slashes with its power cutting through everything in its path.
I jumped to the right and dodged the attack from the high orcs as I stabbed his heart killing him after the I ran forward and ducked as an orc aiming for my head. And going near the orc I jumped before he had the chance and cut off his head.
'It will take time like this.' And decided to use it.
'Haoshoku Haki' an invisible pressure spread from as the ground cracked and the high orcs slumped to the ground and many were killed as their bodies burst because of the pressure.
There were still some alive but they were seriously injured and were out for the count. I turned and saw the reinforcements were dumfounded. I chuckled. 'You're fast aren't you.
I thought as I saw the orc with a large sword was moving towards me very quickly with its greatsword raised above his head and was bringing it down.
I shifted my body slightly dodging him and saw the giant was making his move. 'I'll finish this quickly.
As I used chakra to strengthen my body. And I covered my katana with Busoshoku Haki as the orc used multiple slashes towards me from multiple angles.
Even though he was using a great sword that was 4 meters in height and 2 meters at the base and got narrower as it went up stopping at half a meter.
I just dodged all his attacks with slight turns and moves and reached in front of him but a war hammer was approaching me from above so I used 'Fake rainbow.'(Hi no kokyū Gen'nichi Kō). It is a technique in which I performed high-speed twists and rotations, thus creating afterimages used mostly to evade attacks. The afterimages work most effectively on enemies with good vision.
Before they could react I was already behind the high orc and used Fire Wheel (Hi no kokyū Kasha) and spun in the air downward, releasing a sword attack in a circular motion. Cutting off the head of the high orc and faced the giant that was in front of me.
He was looking at me angrily, he wasn't even able to move but the fight already finished. I smirked I mean what did you expect I didn't even get the warm-up and you finished.
Now I sympathize with a woman whose man finishes fast.
THIRD-PERSON POV
'Are you fucking kidding me that is what everyone who came to help in Haru thought' Both Jin-Chul and Yoon-Ho expected him to be powerful but not to this much?
They were sweating when they felt him using the same technique that he used before. When they saw the damage the technique can do they felt that they were that close to death at that time.
But they will ask him the questions later as they were about to help him as they saw him fighting two S-Ranks together but what happened next was not something they had expected he vanished and appeared behind the high orc-like it was teleportation. And used a single strike to cut off his head.
"His swordsmanship Is something else. Right Hae-in." Jong-in said while looking towards Hae-in but she didn't answer as she was busy watching Haru fight.
Jong-in sighed and said.
"I need a smoke." Then like everyone else he also had questions like what skill did he use to kill over 150 High orcs. That skill isn't a joke it can be very useful against large mobs of monsters. It will be very useful in the upcoming Jeju island raid that only a few knew about.
"Isn't he way too powerful? He finished all that like it's nothing."
"Gina don't raise your voice"
Jong-in sighed as he heard what a junior from his guild said
'Well, it's true.' He said as he saw Haru fighting with the giant, No it would be more appropriate to say he was playing with him a monster on the level of the national-level Hunters or even higher than them, and here he was playing with it.
This is what everyone thought.

Back to m.c
I have cut this giant multiple times but he has good regeneration powers. So I was thinking of testing a theory I had.
'Will the red Nichirin sword stop their regeneration?' So I used my demon slayer mark. And my katana which was coated with busoshoku haki started to have a tinge of red. And As the Giant was about to smash me with his war hammer. I rushed in a cut made a deep cut on his heel and he Staggered. fre𝚎w𝐞bn𝗼v𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝗼𝚖
(AAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHH YOU WHAT DID YOU DOOOOOOOOOOOO) he was shouting like crazy at this moment and the cut isn't healing and it is damaging him. It was easy to find a weak spot with the see-through world open.
I smiled.
'Dragon Sun Halo Head Dance (Hi no kokyū Nichiun no Ryū Kaburimai)' I was instantly in front of the giant and the fire took the form of a Japanese dragon then I swung my sword as it looked like the dragon bit him on the throat as his head was sliced off.
And with that, it is over.
{LEVEL UP}
It's good that it doesn't show the system message during a fight.
I walked towards Hae-in and everyone who was waiting. I went towards them and said.
"let's go." After I said that everyone nodded and on the way back I was bombarded with questions.
I just didn't answer questions related to my skills and stuff like that.
Hae-in didn't talk much on the way back as we exited the gate and went to change our clothes. After changing I met everyone and thanked them for coming. They just said that it wasn't much and they didn't help much.
"Ok, then Hae-in let's go," I said to her which shocked everyone, as she gave them a bow while blushing and then followed me as we went to a restaurant to eat as it was about 7 p.m now.
"Hmm, I feel refreshed after a cigarette. What did I miss?" Jong-in who had just come back from his smoke break asked as everyone looked towards him. He didn't understand what happened.
.......
We went to a nice restaurant that hae-in knew it was had a quiet atmosphere and didn't have many customers. We walked in and went to the table in the corner we sat down and ordered some food.
And talking about small things and topics but the topic did revolve around swordsmanship.
'Guess she likes swordsmanship.' I smiled looking towards her.
She was a bit stunned as she looked away.
'She's too dangerous for my heart, really' I thought as I shook my head when the food arrived the waitress gave us a wink and a thumbs-up. Which caused hae-in to cover her face with her hands.
I chuckled a little we started eating food after she calmed down.
'She eats like a small squirrel I didn't even feel eating as I thought just seeing her eat filled my stomach.
She saw me looking at her and continued to eat shyly.
I started eating as well to not make her uncomfortable.
After we finished eating I saw there was sauce on her mouth as she didn't clean so I took the paper towel and wiped the sauce near her mouth while smiling.
"There it's clean now."
Her whole face was red as she was blushing, even her ears are red. I swear I can see smoke coming out of her head.
"Sorry it is has become kind of a habit." What I said was true, from the memory I have whenever me, jin-ah and Jin-woo ate food together since our childhood I have always wiped jin-ah face so it has become a bad habit now. It was so bad that one time I did this to my deskmate who was a girl and she passed out while bleeding from her nose. After that, I stopped doing that.
And here it happened again.
I can see an old couple sitting on a table near us giving me a thumbs-up. I don't know what to say. It was an accident.
After Hae-in calmed down she answered in a low mosquito-like voice.
"I don't mind it."
"HUH"
"No, it's ok." She quickly shook her.
Hey, I heard that! I ain't your dense beta male protagonist.
"Ok" I just pretended now to hear it or she might pass out.
".......There is something I want to tell you." After hesitating for a bit she said.
I nodded for her to continue.
Her eyes darted all over the place as she didn't meet my eye and it was clear that she was still hesitating.
I smiled and held her hand she was surprised as she looked at me with a surprised Pikachu face.
"it's ok if it is something I can do I'll help, so tell me. " I said as I looked into her eyes. Her face is turning red again I think it goes like this... she's too cute... I know I said it like for the umpteenth time but she is cute so deal with it.
She looked down to see my hand holding her hand. And then looked up with a shy expression. I just smiled and nodded my head. I felt the grip on my hand tighten.
"I...."
