[ciera]

Thank you

 

[SunSun]

Nope.

Spoiler: Hint

The official English LN is well past this point, and why the slash didn't hit was set up in a prior chapter.

Spoiler: Giving away the answer

The sword can't cut through his power armor's energy shield.

That makes sense tbh.

 

[Seinvolf]

Thank u always for ur great work...
^^...

"Huh? My laser didnt work? How about I throw the whole package to him?" Nice...

It's not a cliffhanger since we know it didn't work.

We already know that the mc stopped the blade with his erection

 

[amamiya426]

Did a refresher on the novel, and well...
Hiro just shrugged the slash, Hiro's sumo suit also has built in shields, and it has the power armor's generator with higher output as energy source.
Medetashi medetashi, next off to the dwarves

Interesting, this is different from the WN and LN. Noble never did try to fake out. Guess manga version wanted a bit differently

 

[ZeroWrath]

Let me guess: he was controling power armor remotely.

Nah suit is probably immune to it. I think I recall him saying it was of the top ones in the game? Hmmmmm

 

[Jakeh24]

He needs to get himself a couple of those swords.

Funny you say that... seems he just 'found' 2 of them

 

[hayatekanzaki]

Top one for power iirc. But it’s kinda a joke power armor cause they use it for sumo matches in the game. What I do remember is that it has a shield and that is what probably blocked the attack.

 

[Sumasuun]

I don't recall the butlers and maids shooting as well since they were respectful of the duel between nobles and/or were told not to interfere, but it's been a while since I've read it.

 

[BobBob]

"Parry this you fucking casual... Oh shit he fucking parried it!"

 

[1234muse]

I kinda figured the suit would block it

It's a cliffhanger for the villain lmfao.

yup that's another difference I noticed. In the LN, Hiro called out to the butlers and maids that were in the room to help him, but they were reluctant to intervene. So Hiro had to rely on Mei and his remaining gun to break down the shield. It was a surprise to me the manga version just added random group of them coming into the room to help with the whole taking out the shield bit.

nope, it's probably bad memory... because both of those occurred in the WN

“What the heck are you gawking about for, you fools!? Fire your weapons as well!”

The maids and butler were shaken from their shocked stupor by Earl Daleinwald’s shout and started firing their laser rifles and guns as well. May switched her laser launcher to convergence mode and started hammering the dual-wielding bastard’s shield with shots as well. Just one well-placed shot should be able to saturate that bastard’s shield. That’s good. Give it to em!

“Damn it to hell!”

The dual-wielding bastard suddenly set off an explosion. No, it’s a smokescreen huh? The guy’s form vanished within the white smoke as it quickly dispersed all around the hall. I see. In addition to blocking our vision, the smoke also serves to dampen our laser shots. That’s a nice move, son.

He saw the robot cock and realized the weakness of his flesh

 

[JustSomeAlien]

My bet is that his power armor is just built different, and the sword did jack all to it
