112 111. A hero whose reason is stolen by the darkness.txt (1/2)

Kanami laughed when I was sure my fist was going to hit.

--and then her eyes changed color.

Deep black eyes, similar to obsidian, mixed with a purple luminescence, making them a strange black-purple eye.

I know what that color is.

Purple is the color of magic.

The purple magic power is crawling out of the 'bracelet' that Kanami wears. It enters Kanami from the back of her head and emits purple light from inside her body.

That magical power turns Kanami's smile of relief into a smile of madness.

''-- 《Midwinter of the Overcrowded Dimension (Di Overwinter)》 aaaaaaaaah!

And for a very small moment, really.

Cold air and dimensional magic built up.

Only to have it quickly fizzle out. Physically, there was no way she could use such advanced magic. However, even though blood spurts out of her mouth and nose, Kanami succeeds in building magic for a moment. --I let it.

A winter magic built for a moment.

With that, Kanami obtains spatial information about the current situation and also succeeds in slowing down my fist's speed.

With a confident expression, Kanami thrust out her broken arm and received my fist. There is no strength in that arm. However, the impact to my face is lessened by the wall of flesh between us.

Kanami is blown away along with the feeling of that arm being further crushed.

The Kanami was badly damaged.

However, the timing of the special kill was surpassed.

I bite my teeth.

Kanami slides on the ground as if scraping, and is coated in dust. And in the dust, a shimmering black shadow rises up in the dust.

The dust clears and its eerie form is exposed.

Its left arm is twisted and broken, dangling painfully. His face is pale, and dark circles have formed under his eyes. His entire body is covered in scrapes and his senses must have been dulled by countless bruises. His magic power is depleted and there should be nothing but water in his stomach and intestines. There is not a single thing that can be turned into energy.

After more than three days of not sleeping and fighting for more than three days, your body is beyond human limits.

The pain and nausea must have passed and the horrible taste of death must be rising from the back of your tongue.

-- there is no way I can fight anymore.

And yet, Kanami had stood up, sword in hand, and was walking towards me.

Clearly, something is wrong.

The ”Pseudo-God's Eye” grasps the state of affairs.

Compared to before the match, the 'recognition inhibition' had increased by an order of magnitude.

''Protect, or else ......--''

Muttering, Kanami muttered and walked through the dust.

Her gait is unreliable.

But I don't feel like falling over.

''Yeah, I'll protect you, don't worry ....... Hahaha, Zeppo, I'll protect you ......--

Black and purple eyes sparkling, Kanami smiles thinly and strokes the 'bracelet'.

Even though she's on the verge of death, her expression is gentle and calm.

It's already obvious that this is--.

Wow. ....... This is completely unconscious. And yet you're moving, which means it's either Palinkron's magic ....... --Dear, it seems to be a pattern of deepening mental contamination of Kanami!　As much as possible, use sacred magic to suppress the anomaly!

I move on to another plan that I had decided in advance.

'All right, Rustyala!　--Strathfield!

A sacred magical ward has been set up over the entire arena.

It is a magic of light that dispels all darkness and calms the spirit.

However, it did not reach Kanami.

The purple magic power has become a protective membrane, preventing the light from reaching her.

And reacting to the light, Kanami rushed over here.

Faster than the first. Perhaps the 'bracelet' is making Kanami fight beyond her limits.

In an instant, sword and sword made contact.

It was a strange feeling.

Even though they were in contact, there was little recoil. There was no strength in Kanami's sword at all.

I thought it was just a lack of strength due to my physical condition, but I soon realized that was a mistake.

With a soft movement, Kanami's sword closed in on my neck, as if my sword was transparent.

I knew that move.

Thanks to that, I was able to avoid it at the verge.

''--Now that's an Aleis technique!

I know this because I used the power of 'Fenrir Arrais' just recently.

Without a doubt, Kanami used a sword technique that was unmatched by the Sword Saint.

Without answering my questions, Kanami swung her sword.

I retreat, preventing it just in time.

''-- 《Fire Arrow, Scattered Flowers (Fall Flower)!

Dia decides that I'm in a hurry and releases her magic.

The rain of flames forces Kanami to choose to keep her distance.

Some flames rain down on me as well. Since I released it in a hurry, my aim must have been appropriate. While preventing the flames with the sacred magic, I also keep my distance.

In contrast to me, Kanami doesn't use any magic at all and uses only her physical ability to avoid it.

She was attacked by countless flames, and while she was hit by some of them, she still busily moved her head and avoided (・・・・) the attacks that were falling on her by looking at them with her eyes. It was a rare sight.

Perhaps Kanami is not using even the slightest sensing magic now.

Perhaps she had decided that, due to her physical condition, she couldn't trust magic that could disappear at any moment.

She is relying solely on her eyesight, moving her black and purple orbs in a giddy manner.

I am relieved.

There's no great threat to a magician (Kanami) who has no magic power.

Kanami's tactics, which are based on dimensional magic, which is always aware of all space, are vicious. However, to put it another way, it can be said that he relies on it. If it weren't for that, Kanami would only be a slightly skilled swordsman.

Even if that 'swordsmanship' is comparable to that of a swordsman, that much is still acceptable.

I willfully attacked Kanami.

''--Fenrir Arraith, fresh blood magic!　Sacred magic!

It consumes magic power and specializes in melee combat abilities.

Then he attacked Kanami, who had completely avoided the rain of flames, without giving her a moment to catch her breath.

In contrast, Kanami showed a strange movement.

Her sword stance had become something else.

With the tip of her sword on the ground, she was about to attack me.

A unique stance that was familiar, lowering the sword and waiting for the opponent to move--

-- the same 'swordsmanship' as Sera Raydiant behind me.

The moment I get in between, Kanami slashes his sword up. I rotate my body to avoid it. Perhaps because I was familiar with that technique, it was easy to avoid.

However, even if Kanami avoids it, she will take a second stance and repeat the slash up.

It's exactly what Sera's 'swordsmanship' is, but ...... lacks any depth at all. I'm going to be the one who's going to be the one who's going to be the final blow, while I'm leisurely dodging.

Kanami's left hand moves.

The second sword was right in front of me.

As soon as I could, I pulled my sword back and put it on defense. I jumped back with astonishment.

Kanami's left arm should have been completely broken. And yet, she grabbed the sword and attacked me.

--The way the void is thrusting now, just like Ragne .......

I almost took my eyes away from him.

I kept my distance, observed Kanami, and learned the identity of the second sword, which was not supposed to be there.

Part of his left arm is frozen.

Ice clings to the broken elbow and holds it in place. The same goes for the hand that gripped it. With this, I won't be able to drop my sword in pain.

You can't bend your elbow, but you can perform the function of the sword at the very least.

'Don't be so pushy: ......

And Kanami doesn't care if I'm surprised, she gives chase.

This time she doesn't hide her frozen left arm.

She fights with the two swords at will.

--Now the twin swords ......!

It is close to the Helvilleshain technique.

Although it is less complete, it is reminiscent of the Hein Helvirshine of the past.

I am baffled by his shapeshifting sword techniques.

There is no doubt that the pace is being set.

I pile on more magic to bring the pace back to this side.

Although it's hard on my body, I can't say it.

''--Double deployment, fresh blood magic [Hein Helvirshine]!

If you're confused by the twin swords, then and only then can you get advice from a twin sword expert.

I would see through all of the twin swords and begin to take advantage of the battle.

The difference was overwhelming.

Immediately, Kanami's poor twin-sword technique breaks down, and the sword is flung away from her hand. And only the frozen sword on my left arm remained.

I am convinced that this is an opportunity, and I go to grab Kanami's arm.

As long as I can stay close, I can ignore the unbending frozen left arm.

I grabbed Kanami's right arm with my free left hand and tried to master the joint as it was.

But the next moment - after a strange floating sensation, my arm was grabbed in the opposite direction.

''----?''

It was a soft and quick 'body technique'.

The moment I grabbed it, I knew Kanami had somersaulted around in a circle. But I don't know how my grip is being released and reversed.

--Is this strange 'body art' Glen Walker?　No, Snow?　Oh, I don't know what's going on here!

Maybe it's because the 'body arts' of the Eltralieu Academy are also mixed in, but I don't know the source of the technique.

No, the fact that my 'blood' doesn't know about it--maybe it's the 'body art' of another world that doesn't exist in the Confederation.

''-- 《Growth Extendent》!

This distance and state of affairs, I don't know what to expect.

I forcefully cast a spell to overturn the situation.

With strength and speed beyond my limits, I shake off Kanami's arms, kick her in the stomach, and immediately step backwards.

It was only a few seconds of magic, but the burden presses on his entire body.

Since I used it in my fight with Snow yesterday, the recoil was tremendous. If possible, 《Growth Extendent》 is a hand that I don't want to cut even if I'm in perfect physical condition.

The distance is separated and Dia's magic pours down again.

And Kanami is stranded and unable to chase me.

We made it back to our starting point again.

Many techniques were exchanged, but in the end we were back to square one.

'--I'm mga, mamo, ru ....... Absolutely .......

And at the start of it, Kanami muttered.

'I'll protect you--, ah-ha, -- haha, ah-hahahaha!

He wobbles, laughing.

I feel like I'm about to fall over.

There's no doubt that I'm over the limit. I haven't even been able to concoct a good amount of magic.
