Chapter 77: This But a Scratch



.


Hurry, I need to be faster than this! Maximum acceleration!


"Before you were fast, but now much faster huh? You may be the fastest person I've ever met or heard of, even the Demon King isn't as fast as you, "talk at all you want, but victory is on my side


"It's a shame your movements are so easy to read! Die!"


He thrust his shadow at me, how do I know if I'm here? But it's not a problem, because....


If he can read my movements then it means that I am not fast enough, I increase my speed again with Acceleration and dodge that attack, heading to his wide-open back, then swinging this Yuuna sword I borrowed


Huh uh?


He can even withstand this?!


"I told you your movements were legible" he used his shadow like a whip to me


And this is the first time his attack was hit directly on my body, let me tell you.


"Aragh!"


I bounced off the whip, only stopping after hitting a tree on my back and bleeding from my mouth because of the collision. When was the last time I felt this kind of pain? I don't know...


"My nickname might be Witch, but I'm more adept at melee combat, so don't underestimate me even if I don't move a bit from here,"


"Fucking devil..." I was still in pain, but there was something I had to do so I got up again


I charged towards Gressila and tried to slash her directly, but again she brushed off my attack with her shadow. I tried again and she brushed it off again, and my attacks never landed on her body, the shadow of Gressila always managed to hold them back


Hah..it feels very tiring to swing a sword this much, my Rune body has not been trained for such a thing as close combat...


"Yet surrendered? It's my turn, now,"


Surrender? Well... In a war I know when to surrender, but right now? My only choice was to win or die, there was no third choice like giving up!


"Wind..."


"Hmm?"


I used magic once again to attack Gressila, this time I did seem to use wind magic like before, but in reality I modified the magic a little


Therefore I have to say it even if it is subtle to strengthen my imagination


Gressila was again aware of that and instantly made a barrier from her shadow to cover the bottom where my attack was aimed at, but this time it seemed like she was really trying to read my attack from my body movements


Though this magic is much slower than my movements using the sword, is it possible...?


If so then I am foolish for waiting for information to come out of the mouth of my enemy


I thought that Gressila had some kind of magic area that she neatly managed around her position, that magic might be a dark magic that could see the future even if only for a moment, she said, therefore he can technically "read my movements"


Then maybe there's another reason why he didn't move from that position.it might be the reason why my movements slowed down and my body felt heavier.


The wind magic was indeed aiming to slash it like the previous one, and Gressila managed to dispel it however. I added a post-magic effect where there was a second incision, however, although not fatal but managed to cut Gressila's wide hat after flying the hat


He looks upset


"Little brass with their little tricks" he said


But I won't let the confusion get here, I'll take advantage of it again, this time in a better way.


I threw my sword at him, then cast earth magic while doing that


Gressila brushed off her sword easily and it was now floating in the air, which was teleportation!


Where I would teleport there to grab the sword, then the earth magic was working here, the magic raised Gressila closer to me where I myself was preparing to slash it


.


With the effort Ryuu gave, it seemed like Gressila had become shocked at the abilities of a lowly race like a human. Although again Gressila managed to hold it with a shadow, but something unexpected happened


This might hurt Ryuu later but now it was quite profitable


It was because the sword Ryuu he borrowed from Yuuna was broken when held by Gressila and the fragments managed to injure Gressila's cheek, on the other hand Ryuu lost a weapon


It seems that the best weapon made in Chang'an is not comparable to the skill of a Demon General huh?


"Eh?"


"Damn it! Lowly creature!"


Teleportation!


I don't know, I teleported about five meters back without thinking about anything, luckily I was only a few cents above the air and there was no object here


"Even if Seraphim doesn't piss me off like this, you're gonna rip me to death,"


Wah-wah is scary....


Indeed I may be very chaotic at this time, but I have managed to know the secret of his attack, the next will be easier.


"Death!"


Shadow prick, I'll hold it with two barriers


"That trick again?! Huh! Let's see if you can avoid the same ending as those Elves!"


Wh-what?! Damn, this damned creature targeted Yuuna who was on the opposite side of me, indeed she was a very easy target from the start but I did not think Gressila was using it against me


Teleportation!


Ughhhh! I bleed again from my mouth, my stomach seems like it is about to explode, this is the impact of excessive mana use. Once upon a time when I practiced increasing my capacity where the same thing happened, the pain would continue for a week...


"Yuna! Hey!"


Nullifying magic!


I saw that his expression had changed, which was like despair and fear, was now confused. I don't intend to keep him confused for longer


"Yuna! Run away!"


Gressila's attack arrives.


Double Barrier!


"Eh? T-So I don't think I can control my own consciousness," I know that, run dumb!


Kugh! I held myself back from vomiting blood, so it came out of my nose like a nosebleed


"What about you?!" Ask him


"Think of yourself being stupid, I'll hold it for you!"


.


Ryuu's barrier might be able to withstand one attack of Gressila, but if the attack comes in a row then it's impossible only limited to two Barrier can withstand it. Ryuu's two Barrier's broke and the next one might be a little unsightly


Ryuu uses his body to protect Yuuna behind him, some of Gressila's spear-forming shadows stab Ryuu into the back of his body, but Yuuna manages to survive the attack.


There Yuuna realized something


He had never had a sibling, neither a brother nor a sister, he only had his father in the previous world and even in Kelfia he had no family


But right now, there, she realizes that if she can have an older sister, Yuuna thinks Ryuu is the best sister for her


Y-Yah Ryuu became a big brother? I don't know...


"Sir Ryuu!" Exclaims


While Ryuu, who has yet to lose consciousness, uses another magic attack, raising the ground under Gressila and lowering the wind incision from above, Gressila's blind spot


Gressila managed to lift again but her shadow protected herself from Ryuu's wind magic, she had also anticipated the second wind by closing the top completely.


There it should probably be over, Ryuu began to lose consciousness after Gressila drew her shadow to form her barrier


Yuuna grabbed Ryuu's fallen body.


"I heard you call me brother...?"


"Don't die, Brother Ryuu!"


"There is no need to be sad let alone cry...."


Ryuu closed his eyes, he felt that his chance this time was over, but not so...


.


"Tadashii Ryuu,"


All the colors turned black-and-white, the ground I stepped on the texture turned into a puddle of water, the entire sound disappeared, and time stopped like before


"We meet again, God," I said


It turns out that I am not as strong as I imagined, maybe among other humans there may be no one who can match me but in Kelfia...


Demon General Gressila huh...? I don't know if anyone is stronger than him but Gressila is the strongest opponent I've ever fought all this time without question. I think I died normally this time?


"I want to get back to life, so let me live quickly. My request this time is-"


"On that, it seems I made a mistake earlier." huh?


"Fujiwara Kyouka I've compensated for her transfer to this world, but you haven't" Huh?! How could he forget such an important thing?!


"What did he ask for?"


"Fujiwara Kyouka simply requested that she become more competent,"


It explained how she could do many tasks as a Queen.... But on the other hand his pity began to diminish. I remember when he kept asking if bloodshed should have happened, thinking about the casualties and their families


Now he was still thinking about the casualties and their families, but bloodshed had to happen.


"So what do you mean, I can ask for two things now or how?"


"No, at this time you may ask for one thing, and in return you will not die,"


E-Eh...?


I'd better ask for something that doesn't damage or change my nature, that might be bad in the future.


Then what should I ask for?


Right now, I think there's only one answer.


I looked at Yuuna who was crying on my lying face, the shadow of Gressila was darting towards her but it was all stopping at this moment


The weapon Yuuna was wearing was destroyed so I don't think she could do much even to survive, I should have bought her a weapon


"I want a weapon, no need for a strange one, just a sword is enough. I want it to cut anything, so that even Gressila's shadow power can be cut,"


"I grant you, a sword will appear if you think about it, but since it could damage the world order then the pay incurred by each of you using it will be the same as the use of magic, mana. Which one to wear is half of your capacity, so use as wisely as possible, Tadashii Ryuu."


There was no need for him to say that I understood it, I did not want to use my powers like that. Is that not why I founded a kingdom? I mean well.if I was a random person then all I would have done so far was slaughter all the creatures I met with my power


Oh.. That sounds really boring, it might be fun at first but....


"Good go on with your life,"
