Osamu showed his ability to repel all Zuan's attacks with a yellow glowing sword he called "the Encounter sword". It seemed, it was the same magic when he reversed the opponent's attack, namely Encounter. What does that mean, he can change the form of magic as he pleases? What it can do, I'm quite interested.
It's possible that I can apply it to my Absorb magic later. But for now, my attention is on Osamu's fighting skills. Unexpectedly, his ability to wield a sword looked like a professional.
"Scooter Encounter? Isn't that the same as before?" Zuan asked inadmissively.
"Huh? Whatchu mean? I'm telling you I won't use Encounter's "protector? I never said I wouldn't use "swords" Encounter." Reply Osamu. He was right, this did not violate what he set at the beginning of the fight.
"It's basically the same!" And as I thought, Zuan still didn't accept it.
"No no, it's very different" Osamu replied. "Let me tell you one truth. If I were to use Encounter in a protective form, my defense would be completely impenetrable. But if I use a sword form, I still have a weak point. If you're smart, you can find it."
Zuan fell silent. I didn't think Osamu would tell me such valuable information so easily.
"Why did you tell me your weakness? You could've been killed for that."
"Well, I guess because I want you to know that I believe in you. I want you to work with us, that's why I'm showing my trust in you" Osamu replied. "After all, you still can't beat me."
"Cih, you big head too huh. All right, this time I'll be a little more serious."
"Then I will too."
Instantly, the aura of his blood monster increased drastically. He said it would be a little serious, but this far exceeded my expectations. What is his Blood Sacrified, this Evilian is truly powerful?!
"Encounter: Chariot form."
The light of the magic circle appears under Osamu's feet, then spreads out enveloping him. A moment later, several protective armors appeared on his legs, hands, head, as well as his chest. He left his back, neck, arms, and thighs open without any armor. Don't tell me that those armors are also another form of Encounter? I can't believe how great this magic really is. No, not just magic. His ability to control all this magic is amazing.
A ball of yellow light appeared and floated around Osamu. Simultaneously, Osamu's red left eye turned yellow, the same color as the ball. I don't know what it is, but it seems like a tool that might be useful to him in this fight.
"Then I start!"
Zuan quickly advanced through Osamu's defenses. But even so Osamu was still able to fend it off perfectly. Side by side was attacked, and all of that was still deflectable. It can even deflect attacks from its blind spot. I became more and more curious about where all his greatness came from.
Zuan attacked along with his mustard. Attack from two directions. If it was an ordinary human, it was certain that his opponent would be killed. But who would have thought Osamu had made it through this death challenge. He swiftly repelled Zuan's attack, and twisted his body to avoid the attack from the blind spot that the Zuan blood monster was after.
What an incredible defense. His agility was excellent, and his reflexes over all his attacks were also amazingly great.
But the question is, where can he know all of Zuan's attacks, even at his blind spot? Out of curiosity, I immediately checked the flow of Manna in his body. And surprisingly, the flow of Manna in his left eye was exactly the same as that in the floating yellow ball. That means, he uses the tool as his third eye to see all the sides that can not be reached both eyes. Really ingenious. With the ability to fight as strong as a knight of war, the agility of a high-class hunter, and such an unreasonable tool, it was only natural that his defense was like that.
"Well, Zuan. I'm getting tired of surviving. This time I'll strike back" he said.
"impressed. Come on, I'll face you."
"Don't regret saying that" Osamu said. "Encounter: Battle form."
The shape of Osamu's armor has changed little. This time, only his hands and feet were covered in armor. Meanwhile, several other Encounter swords appeared and floated around his hands, following the movement of the sword Osamu was holding. And another ball of light also appeared hovering nearby. Unlike the previous one, the ball was magic.
A moment later, he began to attack. He attacked so quickly as an expert. The sword in his hand, followed by 3 other swords that floated following the movement of Osamu's hand. Share facing four people at once. But even so, Zuan still survived and received no serious injuries.
"As expected, this way will not defeat you" said Osamu smiling. "I'm tired. It seems like it's time to do that ...."
With a slower movement than before, Osamu again attacked after previously retreating. His movements were normal, and looked devoid of spirit. Like a slacker forced to fight.
"What are you doing?"
Zuan came forward to attack him. Seeing that, Osamu stomped his feet to the ground. Because the Encounter effect repels all attacks, and the leg strike is considered an attack, Osamu's body is thrown into the air. He jumped up and shot straight towards Zuan.
Seeing the opportunity, Zuan jumped into the air. He darted fast in front of Osamu who also darted towards him. Like two arrows about to collide. But when the two of them almost cross paths, Osamu's magic ball appears at an unexpected speed, also from an unexpected direction. The ball hit Zuan, and disappeared. It's just, it didn't have any serious effect on him at all. He's still headed toward Osamu.
And as they passed each other, something strange happened. At that time, Zuan did not react at all and let Osamu pass.
Osamu who had first set foot on the ground again darted. This time a little faster than before. He reappeared on Zuan's silent back, and slashed his sword at Zuan's back horizontally. With a single slash on his back, Zuan crashed heavily onto the ground. His Evilian was lost, and he lay on the ground.
"As I said, I won" said Osamu, after proudly approaching Zuan who was lying limp on the ground.
"What ... did you just do ... to me?"
"Silent Eruption. Ever heard?"
Silent Eruption, I know quite a bit about that magic. Magic is rare, it's very rare for anyone to be able to use it. That's because this magic requires a lot of Manna to use it.
Silent Eruption is a magic that is useful to rob the energy source or Manna of his opponent, up to the Status Down stage because it runs out of Manna. Not only robbing, this magic can also give it to others. The effect will make the victim stiff, unable to move until Manna or energy returns. And if Manna or her energy doesn't come back in half an hour, she'll be killed by the Status Down effect.
Status Down is also a term where when a person runs out of manna or energy. In Status Down, the person will weaken, faint, and be unable to move. All his power is gone. Moreover, if he could not recover Manna or her energy within half an hour, his life would be taken. It was really something that the witches were very afraid of.
"I used Silent Eruption which I've changed into a little ball shape on you. While you were focusing on attacking me, I secretly hid the ball from you, and waited for an opportunity. And you remember, the moment before we crossed paths was a little ball hitting you? Right at that moment, you were exposed to the effects of Silent Eruption" Osamu explained.
Oh, so that's for the little ball. I get it now.
"I didn't think ... It turns out you're a great witch" Zuan said. "Not only in magic ... You also have incredible fighting skills ... I acknowledge your ability."
"Thank you for the compliment. So, how was the offer?"
"I'll take it. I'll work with you guys. I will lend you my strength so that Rozalia can be defeated" Zuan replied. Osamu smiled with satisfaction at the answer.
"Then the wise choice" said Osamu. "Welcome to join us, Zuan Von Archimiste."
"Yes. But before that, can I ask for my energy?"
"A-ah right too. If you can die for a long time," said Zuan. "I think I've gone too far ...."
In this way, we got help from the Zuan stronghold. A great power to defeat Rozalia.
