Towards the Unbeatable

Act 442: Prediction

"WHAT LANGUAGE IS THAT?!" Brock was quite surprised by what happened to Vincent, because it was the first time he saw Vincent's performance like this.

A blue aura was seen from around his partner's body, but strangely Brock did not feel his strength strengthen.

This is quite strange, considering it is also usual if the appearance of a person changes, then it must have something to do with the changing strength as well.

But why didn't Brock see that in his partner?

Brock showed a look of relief and wonder, he would have more confidence in his partner if this change in aura was accompanied by a change in strength as well.

'WHO CARES TOO IF VINCENT JUST CHANGED STYLES?!'

Brock protested in his own heart. But in the end he also believed in his partner, so how else?

*

[Master Prediction]

[What's up?]

'Don't ask me what's up! Just look at yourself, you're not me?!'

Inner Vincent immediately protested at that moment. He thought he would get help right then and there, but instead he was asked by his own strength.

[....]

[Ah I understand.you called me in this situation, troublesome as well.].

‘Sorry if so, but now it is critical.’ Vincent remains calm, in this moment it is not time for emotion.

[How long have you not been talking to me? I'm lonely~]

‘Damn me, since when do I have such a feminine side?!’

Vincent was astonished at this, but in fact he did hear himself say that.

‘Not the time to joke with me! We can die here!’

Vincent was trying to convince the power within himself.

And if anyone has not been aware, now the surrounding situation seems to be stopped by the blue aura emitted by Vincent.

Similarly, the big black ball attack that leads to them now.

Vincent realized he still could not use his strength fully, even the cool pretentious attitude was just a cover so that he remained calm and not afraid of what happened.

Vincent does not want to lose his determination instantly, even though he has been cool to Danny and Patricia and Brock. The cuisine is back to its original nature now?

Vincent strongly believes he can re-use his abilities again after a long time, precisely when he defeats the female demon Tifee.

Though he himself did not plan this, Vincent was so confident in his magic power now and thought nothing else.

But what power, fire magic attacks that he had long wrought and trained even only slightly scratched the armor of the enemy he was now fighting.

So it was quite a surprise that he could also think of using his power at a time like this and it worked.

‘We don't have much time! You want us dead? I don't want to!’

Vincent was heard pleading with his heart.

[Who said?]

‘I! Thanks to you, time has stopped, but who knows what will happen?!’

‘....’

‘Ah...’.

Vincent was aware of something, for some reason now he did not say anything more in his mind.

[I'm waiting for you.].

‘....’

‘Sial... You know the Prediction Master!’

[AH!]

[Finally you're aware as well ..].

Vincent looked around him, it had been a while he chatted with himself in his heart, but the surrounding situation still looked unchanged as well.

His aura of blue power still enveloped the surrounding area. Even in his current position Vincent should be aware that something has changed here.

[Still worried?]

I don't know why Vincent seemed to be awakened as if in a corner by himself. What he was worried about did not happen, or at least it still did not happen.

Vincent also realized his own ability is to see the future, so why is he still worried about the future that has not been passed?

‘You could have malfunctioned, or your power suddenly disappeared, don't be arrogant.’ Vincent reminded himself, the opponent they faced was no ordinary creature.

Vincent remembered his previous fight with one of those demon races, and indeed he could not last long in the ‘ situation stopping’ this time.

He had to have a quick discussion with himself at the same time when facing his enemy. It feels strange, but that doesn't mean it's easy.

Moreover, Vincent knew this great demon had great magic power, similar to Tifee, just a little bigger.

‘We are lucky to survive that female demon.’

[Don't lose your own hope]

[Or you'll lose before you try]

‘....’

Now Vincent hears a great motivational voice, and when he hears it, the drowning sense of courage slowly rises back up.

Vincent sdar what he and his colleagues faced was not ordinary and even seemed impossible.

He and Brock are mere mortals but now face a powerful race far above them.

But that doesn't mean there is no hope, does it?

‘Brock has run out of energy to protect me from the giant black armor...’.

‘He survives and attach importance to his own friend, miraculously also he can still survive with his own strength.’

‘... That's why I called you.. I have nothing left...’.

‘My attack did not work and now the attack can you feel its power is not?’

‘....’

Vincent was no longer driven by a sense of haste and tension in his heart, he said the previous thing calmly, very calmly.

[Reply with helping Brock back?]

‘I don't deny it.’ Vincent knows so far he has not made the situation any better even though he has tried with what he has to offer.

‘What does it mean that my training has been in vain?’

[Don't doubt yourself. Scratching your enemy's armor is a great achievement]

The other voice within him seemed to want to comfort him.

‘REALLY?’ Vincent did not expect this, whether he should be happy or not when he heard these other words of himself.

[Of course, if you don't practice then your magic will be lost due to the enormous power of this giant demon you're dealing with]

[It's good you hit it and can even scratch it]

[That's proof your practice wasn't in vain]

Vincent was silent, he only realized this, because the definition of success according to him is different from ‘himself’ others.

If seen with the naked eye then it is certainly seen that Vincent's strength is not much different from the previous one, but in the end it depends on who the power is used.

[You're much stronger]

‘THAT'S NOT ENOUGH! SOMETIMES TALENTED PEOPLE WHO BULLY PEOPLE WHO HAVE NOTHING!’

[What are you talking about?]

It seems like the other ‘self’ doesn't understand what Vincent is thinking, whereas he could have used a simpler word like - The strong beat the weak-man

That is the logic that applies in this world.

[So blaming what's in front of you will make everything good?]

‘Not really, I just said say my heart, forget it.’ Vincent is ultimately trying to be honest with himself.

[I've said it, haven't I?]

‘....’

[As long as your determination is still there, you can do anything]

‘....’

[Do I have to keep repeating it?]

‘No... I get it now.’

‘I can't stop being cool here, I have to end this in style.’

[... All right but you don't have to do it this time]

‘HAH?!’

‘WHY?! THIS IS OUR CHANCE TO SHINE!’

[You've shone enough by defeating Tifee, that's enough isn't it?]

‘BUT THAT TIME....'

[Hero doesn't need recognition, does he? As long as he acts right then that's enough]

Vincent was silent, in fact he did want to show his coolness to others, but ‘himself’ others instead said different things.

‘... Then are we going to let the enemy attack casually?’

[This is the end, you don't have to do anything, believe in your strength and in your partner]

A SHOCK!

‘Wait a minute!’
