[Well, you had your chance. Now it's ti for so ass-whooping. Hope you're ready.]
My opponent looks at the item I just received, and he seems even more confused. I bet he is. No matter how he looks at it, it's not a treasure. It doesn't emit mana. It doesn't even look well made. In fact, I'm just holding a very normal mirror.
Right now, he's probably wondering where all that confidence of mine is coming from. We'll it's possible to refract light using a mirror. Now, that's the only attack he can do. Yep, he's screwed.
Then he starts laughing then snorting.
"You think you'd scare with such an easy-to-see-through bluff?!"
[Oh? You think you still stand a chance? It seems you haven't realized the position you are in.]
I slowly advance his way. He just looks at as if I was crazy. That is when he throws a solar ray my way. I make sure to circulate divine energy in the mirror carefully. Then I simply use it to reflect the attack.
The ray of light gets reflected straight back at him. He yelps in pain as his skin and flesh start burning. I can't help but smile.
[How does it feel? Pretty nice, right?]
This fucker has been wantonly throwing spells everywhere. This is called getting a taste of one's own dicine. Oh, and it's aweso!
"How?! This is impossible!"
[Ah, yeah. You're right. Must be a fluke. You should send another one to be safe.]
That crazy bastard does it too! I reflect it promptly, but sadly he dodges. Oh, I'm gonna have so much fun! I keep walking. anwhile, he's retreating while sending tons of attacks. But the more relentless he is the more he needs to dodge.
I see him look toward my friend a lot. Guess he intends to kidnap him. I better make him change his mind in case sothing really bad happens. How do I do that? Like this.
[By the way, this solar asshole looks like he wants to attack you. Are you going to be fine if he charges at you?]
"Haha, he should try."
He understands what I intend and just smiles confidently. Normally that bluff would definitely fail, but right now the enemy is at the end of his rope. The more he struggles and the more he's in trouble.
Now, he's scared of my friend's non-existent trump card. I an, there is the fruit fly, but it would instantly die from the heat so it's not much danger.
The enemy keeps retreating in panic. He even stops attacking and starts running at full speed. I simply follow. This is a repeat of what was happening before, well reversed. He can't outrun , and I can't catch up.
[Why are you running?! Why are you running?!]
He doesn't even bother turning back. I'm not about to let him get away. Chances are he'll just co back later and kill people I care about. Hell no! The only problem is I still don't have any ranged attack.
This ans that my only solution is to wait for him to tire out. Oh? Thankfully he seems to already be slowing down. He turns toward and seems to want to talk. As if I'll have rcy! I hate people like him!
They act like tyrants when they have the high ground but act coy whenever they are at a disadvantage. Really the worst! But then he raises a fair point.
"If you co closer I'll make sure we both die!"
I can't help but stop. He looks serious.
[You're bluffing. Whatever you try I'll just send it back.]
"With that tiny mirror of yours? You can protect yourself from normal attacks, but once I do a wide range one it won't serve any purpose."
[If you were able to do it easily you would have done it already!]
"I didn't do it because I still am hoping to live. You should have heard of sacrificial spells, right?"
Ah, I see. He's going to explode himself to take down. That is plausible. There is no way a Rank 4 powerhouse with attack as his specialty doesn't know one such trick. Now there only remains one question. Can it kill ?
I know his lee form allowed him to deal enough damage to be life-threatening. I don't want to leave further problems, but I don't want to risk my life either. I could also kill him from a distance with Forgar spell, but it may cause even more problems.
This sucks but it's just not worth risking it. I give him a very solemn look.
[Fine, you can go. But mark my words. If I see you co anywhere near my sect or my allies again, I swear I will raze your entire sect myself. You need your trump cards to even fight . Think about what will happen if I feel the need to use mines.]
I see him gulp as he's imagining all the damage I could potentially cause. Then I watch him leave. Did I make the right decision? I'm not sure. The logical thing for him to do is to steer clear of . But, he could always be trying to get revenge.
I'll have to look out for that. Sigh. Oh well, it can't be helped. Overall, this outco is not that bad. I made a rank 4 run all by myself. I feel like I am definitely growing stronger.
It is so subtle that sotis I feel like I am barely stronger than the past . Still, it's a nice feeling. Who knows, at this rate I'll be able to fight gods soon enough. On one hand, who am I kidding? On the other, I kinda can already.
How? Well, I can send minor gods to gang up on another minor god and we may just end up victorious. Yes, calling for help counts. I an, they are my subordinates (kinda).
That is how I peacefully return. As I approach where my friend was, and still is, I notice a few n crowding around him.
[Hey there, I'm back!]
"What happened? Where is the Sun sect master?"
[Bad news, he managed to run, but at least he shouldn't be coming back.]
That's when I can hear gasps of stupefaction and admiration all around.
[So, who are they?]...
