A-Are you sure?
Youre really gonna fight against ?!
Yes. If Sea God-sama is willing to fight against , then I would love to try it. I also wish to test my current strength and see just how far I can go.
Halts eyes were sparkling like a little kid who just discovered a brand new toy or ga.
By the way, can I ask you to promise that you wont kill if I surrender halfway?
Y-Yeah, of course. Youre going along with after all. Just in case I beco over enthusiastic and end up killing you, Ill definitely revive you.
Not really sure why, but I got the feeling that there was absolutely no need for that.
Thank you very much! Well then, lets finish this off!
Yeah!
Hm?
W-Weird.
I felt like there was sothing wrong with his words.
Crp, crp, crp, crp!!
This is way too terrible!!
W-What the heck is wrong with this guy?!
Sea God-sama, Ill go with this nex~t!!
Oy, wait a minute, Halt! Thats the spell I used earlier
Halt created a ginormous whirlpool spear and threw that toward .
It was originally called the Ultimate Vortex, and it was the most powerful water magic spell. Its also the strongest spell you can hurl toward another person.
And Halt
Water Lance!
Released that attack magic while chanting the lowest grade spell.
Hiii!!
I managed to evade it with an embarrassing shriek that I couldnt believe I just let out.
The spell that I just dodged destroyed the outer wall of the shrine that was supposedly as sturdy as heck.
T-This guys magic is terrible!
Just what the heck is going on here?!
How could the lowest level of magic have the destructive power of the ultimate magic class?!
By the way, its not only the destructive power that was terrifying.
Halt managed to copy the spell I released exactly as it was. Well, hes a Sage, after all, so I did understand why he could wield the sa magic.
But, he made the spell several tis more powerful than mine before firing it at !
I, a deity one of the Four Great Deities fired that for real!!
This guys magic doesnt make sense!
No, its not only magic.
Sea God-sama, here!
Halt was kind enough to call out to before punching, so I managed to duck just in ti.
Thats dangerous!
His movents and attacks were unbelievably fast for a human.
As expected of Sea God-sama, your reaction speed is so amazing!
Youre the one whos amazing!
Just how the heck can you move faster than the Sea God underwater, for crying out loud?!
Hey, Halt. Why can you move with that speed despite being under the sea?
We were in the middle of the battle, but I couldnt help my curiosity, so I asked.
I feigned calm, of course. Its bluffing at its finest.
I probably can move faster underwater than on land.
...What?
Y-youre a human, right?
Why can a re human move so fast underwater?
The water is helping move. The atmosphere isnt that dense, so I couldnt move faster there.
No, thats the explanation doesnt make sense.
I use my mana to reduce the density of the water in the direction I'm going and conversely increase the density of the water behind my body. Its just taking advantage of the propensity of liquids to move to areas of lower density.
He probably noticed that I didnt get his explanation. Halt supplented it.
Changing water density with mana?
Is that even possible?
Like this!
Halt started to release mana. He then gathered it in front of his body.
His body then started to move forward bit by bit.
Whoa! B-But why is that?
Mana turns into sothing tangible when densely compressed.
Yeah, I know that.
So, that tangible mana would then push the object in that space. In this case, the mana pushed out the water.
Fumu, fumu.
Halt once again gathered the mana in front of him.
He was compressing the mana more densely than before, and it was turning into a block in front of .
Right now, this mass of mana pushed the water that was in the space before . This mass of mana is mine, so I could also make it disappear at will.
Halt made his mana disappear.
At that mont, a vacuum was created in the depths of the sea.
In that next instant, water flowed into that space, but the speed of the inflow was so fast that the water collided with water, creating a shock wave in the process.
Wha!?
Everything in the depths of the sea is under a trendous amount of water pressure.
The rmaids living here were already equipped with the magic that could neutralize the pressure around their bodies from birth.
When the rmaids die in the ocean deep
The neutralizing magic that wrapped their bodies would be dissolved, and at the mont of their death, they would be crushed under that pressure until they would beco the size of pearls.
Their remains after being crushed would turn into beautiful orbs the color of their hair when they were still alive.
These were called Treasure of rmaids Demise and they were sold and valued highly among the humans.
Right now, this place was under water pressure heavy enough to crush my underlings in just an instant.
Halt was using that pressure to propel himself forward.
I understood the principle sohow. But would you normally co up with this sort of idea?
One wrong move and your own body would turn to dust.
In fact, the shockwave generated at the mont Halt erased that mass of mana was enough to shake the entire shrine.
It wasnt a surprise then if a re human would disintegrate just by the impact alone.
And yet
Halt was nowhere ordinary.
You see how I moved forward a little bit? If you repeat this on and on, youll be able to go forward with an unbelievable speed!!
The perfectly fine Bakemono stood a few paces away from where he had stood earlier.
