Ren Hilton's POV
I erged from the shadows in search of the next target. Only their leader is left after I killed, like, five of their mbers in the last hour.
I also need to return before Anabelle realises I'm missing or before I accidentally run into her.
"Where do you think he'd be?" Blaze enquired. Initially wary of all that killing soone propaganda, he is now eager to hear what I have to say.
Maybe because I included him in the last attack, he helped quite a bit by surprising that stout guy.
"I don't want you to die here, Princess, but rather because if you do, we won't know what will happen to , and I don't want to vanish into a cloud of smoke or dust because I don't have any energy left to keep my shape." Blaze made an effort to justify himself, but I know that he is simply refusing to acknowledge that he enjoyed helping kill.
"Well then, listen, I don't know where that musclehead is, but one thing is for certain: He will soon realise that his friends have been missing for a while." I said
"And then we just have to attack before he realises." Blaze understood the assignnt quickly this ti.
They were split up, if my mory serves correctly, into three groups of two, three, and one. After forsaking their original path, they dispersed in all directions. I've only co across two of their groupings up until now: the first in the north and the second in the east. As he wasn't in the northeast, it follows that the last person must be in the west or northwest. Because he wouldn't turn around and go back the way he ca, I ruled out the possibility that he was in the southeast or southwest.
My physical state at the mont is that I am using half of my mana reserves and have no obvious or deadly damage to my body. After being severely pierced in the right thigh by that powerful earthen spell, I used a healing potion right away. As a result, I no longer have any mana potions and only have one healing potion left. I also lack the blood points to purchase another one from the store.
"You know, princess, you sound like an absolute nerd right now." Blaze threw in a ridiculous statent about .
"Shut up, Smokeball." I said as I strolled to the west.
.....
After hiding and spying for half an hour, I finally spotted that tanned giant walking around cautiously. He had a giant sword on his back. His na is Kyle, right?
I am currently perched on a giant tree branch. The branch's width aids while I'm setting up an ambush.
"Let's get down there." I moved from the branch's top to the tree's trunk carefully.
Tap
"Huh?" When I descended there, a faint sound was made, which Kyle noticed, so he turned around and cautiously approached the tree.
I took a small step back and summoned a fireball in my left palm. I began attacking him once he was near enough. He retreated in order to avoid the approaching flas.
"Hoho Looks like I found the pest," Kyle said as he pulled the sword from his back. The sword is six to seven inches broad at the hilt with a blunt edge; it's more ant to smash bones than cut sothing open.
"What's your guild rank?" I asked. It might sound like an out-of-the-blue question to so but -
'It is an out-of-the blue question,' Blaze intervened by saying.
"It's C rank; are you scared now?if I am correct then you just joined the guild a few days ago that ans you are E rank at most, right brat?" Kyle answered but not without asking sothing utterly out of context.
I said nothing and strengthened my lower body with mana while simultaneously forming an inferno bo
"So we are not going to talk, huh? Well, it's better that you won't get to say your last words; I'll kill you before you even blink." Kyle reinforced his sword with mana, and I saw a thin layer of blue energy around the surface of the sword.
S W I N G
"Hup!" He swung the sword with full force as he marched forward, passing the blade just by and scratching the fabric of my clothing. As I briefly lost composure, the inferno bolt instantly dispersed. Now I wish I had so body armour.
S W I N G
He reverse-swung the sword without beating another mont, and I ducked the incoming attack before it could connect to my torso.
B O O M
The sword smashed into the tree behind . Yes, it didn't cut; it literally crashed and then smashed the trunk tree.
T H U D H
The tree ca crashing down quickly, vibrating the ground beneath my feet.
I conjured another inferno bolt and randomly threw it towards him, buying It's ti for to get a grip.
F u s H
The inferno bolt landed right below his feet, and he jumped to avoid it. I noticed sothing.
Kyle was huffing, and as far as I rember, he did not use any elental magic in this battle. It's like he is
'Brawler!!! He is a brawler.' Blaze connected the dots for .
A brawler is a combatant who focuses just on brute force or struggles to generate elental spells; they employ pure raw mana to fortify their bodies so they can reach a particular level of strength.
It could appear to be detrintal at first, but with the correct application, it can be rather helpful. In combat, where your opponent is taking too long to form their spells, it gives you the advantage.
However, Kyle is misusing his strength in this situation; he is acting like an errant elephant.
He is slow; all that body weight and big asses make him slower than . I might not have the sa amount of strength as him, but I sure do have a better strategy to take him down.
I've learned a new spell in the past two days with little help from Anabelle; let's give it a
"Take This!!" Kyle once again lunged forward with his sword, holding it diagonally to swing it like a hamr.
This ti, I ducked, but unlike the first ti, I didn't do it completely. Instead, I quickly picked myself up, tackled him in the abdon, and gave him a little taste of thunder.
"Hiehie zhzhz!?" He let out a weird sound when I unleashed a huge amount of lightning on him. This will buy enough ti to prepare for the new spell.
I have only one chance. I focused on all the fire I could sense and gathered it from the atmosphere. The flas grew in size and surrounded Kyle, who is still confused because of the
Once the flas were in all directions, it made a small circle, enough for three people to stand.
"Let's end this." I made walls of fla that wholly erged Kyle inside of them. Just a few seconds, and I'll barbecue that boa.
"Ahhh," Kyle said, feeling the heat around him rise extrely as he ca out of his shocked phase. He jumped out of the fire vortex and ca towards when I was still in the middle of casting a spell.
He swung the sword again. I tried to cut the casting in the middle and get out of the sword's trajectory, but I was late.
S T A B
"Ahhh sh*t!" I cursed as the sword hit my serratus anterior and crushed a few of my upper ribs on the left.
T H R U S T
"Ughhh!" He further thrust the sword deeper into my wound, almost getting past the rib.
"How does that feel, huh?" Kyle retracted his weapon and grabbed my neck. He then pushed to the ground, putting all his weight on .
Blood got to my head as he kept pressing on my windpipe. I started throwing my hands and legs around to get free of his, but he kept it absolute.
"I won't kill you here, but in front of Kale, since he is so scared of you, I'll tell him that there is no reason for him to be scared of a midget like you," Kyle mocked.
He had already coated his entire body in mana this ti, so my attack wouldn't make direct touch with his skin when I put my palm on his wrist and gave him another jolt of electricity.
"I am no fool to fall for a single trick twice, haha." Kyle increased the grip as I felt that my head was going to explode when an old trick in the bag ca to mind.
"B-bblaze go!" At the corner of my mouth, I felt a hot stream of new blood flowing down.
"Aye aye princess," Suddenly, black smoke rises from inside my mouth. Blaze chose this place to make his entry this ti.
"Eh-wh-whats that!!" The grip around my neck loosened once and for all. Kyle dropped his butt after seeing Blaze. I think having a half-ghost-like spirit card up your sleeve helps quite a bit.
I ford an inferno bolt and lunged forward when Kyle's whole attention was on Blaze. I aid for his head.
Fush
My inferno bolt was thrown. When I launched the attack precisely, I witnessed Kyle's head explode as a result of the impact my spell had when it made contact with it.
And the bell sound of joy resounded in my ears like a angelic lody.
