2nd Volume, 6th Chapter The Blow of Resurrection 2nd Part

Guubue

However, my hand couldnt touch the body of the opponent.

For a moment, I didnt know as to what had happened, but the vacuity of thought ended in an instant.

Because my sense of pain was still functioning.

While my hand met but the empty air, my abdomen met the opponents knee.

If I said it punctured my body, it wouldnt be metaphorical as my body had caved in.

Albeit only slightly, your movement was unnatural, but I was alertwhen you touched my body, did you find it fascinating?

No goodthis fellowis too strong.

The opponent pulled her leg out of me, assumed a swaying postureno sooner, she launched a lightning side kick on the spot which didnt differ a tiny bit from the previous one.

Unable to mitigate the impact, I tumbled unsightly on the ground.

Agagu

It was impossible to breathe. It was too painfulto die.

L-Light Magic, heal

Fuuhaagu

While slowly raising my body, I turned my gaze with the same hostile intent as before.

The opponent, who had turned around to deliver the final blow, stopped walking as an expression of surprise floated up her face.

Hou, you really can use healing magic. Since you displayed brilliant swordplay, I was certain you were lying when you said you could use healing magic, but

N-Now that you know I wasnt lying, will you please leave quietly if I treat that mount?

Fumu

Surprisingly, she fell silent as if contemplating.

However, there was no gap at all.

I have a proposal, but.

What is it?

Earlier, I said I had no intention of accepting charity. If you let me keep you as a pet, you can keep your life intact, too. You must already know the difference in our abilities.

Keep meas a pet?

You are quite young. A human who is so strong at such a young age is rare. It will be fun to keep you.

Keep melike that mount?

Thats a friend, not a pet.

Then, I would be treated even lower than that?

What Im saying is, if you become my pet, Ill let you treat my friend.

Petof a demon? How laughable.

I would be treated lower than even a mount.

You just want to make me cry, dont you?

That beastkin girl seems to be important to you. Then, if you want to be my pet, you have to kill her.

Wha

So, how about it?

No, absolutely not!

A human- no one wanted to die.

Erryeah. I have two things to say.

Speak.

First, although I may not look like it, Im 18 years old. Im not much younger than you.

But you look so young. I want you to tell me your secret.

Even though it was cramped, it was a baby face nonetheless.

Secondmy answer is the same as before.

How about you become my pet?

Kuahahahahaha! Youre one amusing human. Fine. In exchange for your making me laugh, Ill keep my earlier words. I wont do anything if that girl doesnt turn her hands to me. You can diein peace.

The opponent stabbed the spear, which she was holding, into the ground.

While I was thinking as to what she was doing, she raised her hand to the sky.

On top of her palm, a mass of fire came into being and continued to grow.

Huge.

And dangerous.

The Ball of Fire (Fireball) that I could create was not a match.

The Fireball that was as large as a human could easily burn me to death.

The air about the Fireball vibrated intensely.

So hoteven my bones wouldnt be left if I were hit.

After those words, the huge Fireball was shot at me without any hesitation

It caused a great explosion.

Super hot flames burned the ground of the wetland belt.

The water evaporated. Dense steam floated up and obstructed the field of vision.

When the view cleared, nothing was left but the ruins of conflagration.

Dead?

After saying merely that, she ignored Lim and Rook, and walked to her injured mount.

Lim was a smart girl.

Although she let her emotions take course and was about to move, she was not so immature as to let the life of someone, who had protected her with his body, go to waste.

Although her lips were quivering, and she was about to cry, she didnt attack the demon like before.

She only kept glaring.

She would livestrongly

Wait, whos narrating all this? I.

In other words, I was alive.

When the opponent was at the stage of refining the huge Fireball, I might not have been noticed, but I had completed preparations and was ready to invoke Water Magic.

The moment she shot the huge Fireball, I invoked Shield of Water (Water Shield).

Basically, there existed counter elements in elemental magic.

Fire and Water, Wind and Earth, Dark and Light.

Therefore, I used Water Magic. However, it didnt mean that Fire was weak against Water.

Although they negated each other, if one was more powerful, the other would be outdone.

In fact, the water wall I created gave me barely enough time to escape before it disappeared.

By the way, I could contest with the same elemental magic. However, in that case, the losing side would be subjected to the consolidated energy of both sides.

Because my Ball of Fire (Fireball) had no way of winning, I chose Water Magic instead.

After escaping from the clutches of the demons huge Fireball, I concealed myself within the eruption of fuming steam.

Concealednot metaphorically

At the moment, I was under the effect of highly acclaimed Optical Camouflage (Light Hide).

However, as tears would appear if I moved, I was still.

Because it required full concentration, I couldnt use other magic.

Therefore, without attempting any surprise attack, I planned on waiting quietly until the demon left.

Lim might be glaring at the demon, but she would soon return to the town as she was instructed.

Will I be walking all the way back on foot?

Well, the reason as to why I was idling and thinking over future plansbecause I was playing dead.

Isnt it uncool to brag after playing dead?

No, dying after bragging would be uncool.

Life was the most important.

Suicidal act was an absolute no.

With this, everyone would survive, so it was for the best.

The mount, which the demon was looking afteralbeit weak, raised a cry.

It stared toward me and cried cautiously.

If I remember correctly, dont birds have extraordinary eyesight?

But I was invisiblehow did it find me?

It couldnt be sheer luck.

Suspicious, the demon woman took an alert stance and approached toward me.

It really was a faithful friend. Really.

Hey, whats up?

I cancelled Optical Camouflage and greeted with a silly face.

From a distance came Lims, who was calling my name out, voice.

This reunion would have better been late.

Youre alive? What kind of magic was that? You came up with something very interesting.

Its convenientI dont abuse it, though.

And what do you want to do?

Ill return your words to you.

I want to settle it.
