Chapter 85 - Aiming for weaknesses and trump card (2/2)
「Prepare yourself, master!」 (Walter)
There’s another 8 seconds until 『Revive』 finishes casting…!
I moved towards the edge of the stage to gain as much distance as I could.
As if to showcase how fast he was, Walter shortened the distance in an instant.
Damn it, his physical ability is high! 5 seconds left!
Don’t panic, dodging should be the only thing I take pride in.
Let him come closer until the last moment…then roll through his flank to slip through his kick.
Even though the system would stop your casting if it judged that you have taken damage…alright, 3 seconds left! He didn’t hit me!
「Walter! Hurry up and stop his casting!」 (Herrscha)
「Y-Yes!」 (Walter)
At the same time they talked in a panic, 3 attacks flew towards me.
A punch from Walter thrown from an imperfect stance along with a whip attack from Herrscha after having cast 『Fire Ball』 flew towards me simultaneously.
Only 1 second left, please make it in time!
「Daah! …Ouch!?」 (Hind)
「It grazed him…!? We did it! This marks the end for you, Hind!」 (Herrscha)
I ran towards the 『Fire Ball』 since it looked to be the easiest one to dodge, but from the 3 balls that she shot I was grazed by the last one.
Having confirmed their victory, she had Walter stand in front of her as she started chanting a big spell.
However, I picked up my staff and took up my stance again as I smiled at Herrscha and Walter.
「…Who said that it was over?」 (Yumir)
「「!?」」
Immediately after, Walter was swept away in an instant by lightning.
While being covered in lightning, Yumir sharply rushed in front of his eyes.
Seems like since I cast it while facing the 『Fire Ball』, I was able to make them both miss the visual effect of my 『Revive』.
As a result, Walter was taken by surprise and unable to dodge Yumir’s sharp attack, taking a direct hit to the side.
Yumir’s war cry echoed throughout the stage.
「The ones that are going to lose, are you guys!」 (Yumir)
「O-Ojou-samaaaaaa!!」 (Walter)
「Walter!」 (Herrscha)
Taking the 『Burst Edge』 filled with Yumir’s fighting spirit, Walter’s small body was blown away while spinning in the air.
Being unable to properly take the fall, his body made a loud noise as it fell powerlessly on the stage.
There’s no doubt that he became incapacitated there.
I looked back at Herrscha after making sure of that and was quite surprised that her eyes were still filled with the intention to fight.
It seems like she didn’t lose concentration even while Walter was being blown away, on top of her hand there was a gigantic fireball already being formed.
「It’s not over yet! The match hasn’t been decided yet!」 (Herrscha)
「Nuuooooooooh!? Hind, isn’t that fireball even bigger than the emperor’s!?」 (Yumir)
「Is this the time for comments like that!? Run away!」 (Hind)
She must have casted it along with the mage skill 『Concentration』…!
It’s a skill that empowers your magic by offering a part of your HP, judging from the MP she’s been able to charge up until now, she probably has also used 『Mana Conversion』, she most likely has barely any HP left.
It’s literally the last attack fired after giving all her remaining life.
She probably was aiming to crush both of us with this attack, but it also means that if we survive it’s our win!
「Doouuuuuuraaaaah!!」 (Hind)
「Nuooooooooh!?」 (Yumir)
I rushed over to Yumir, after breaking her posture, I threw her as far as I could with my strength.
I felt as if my back was going to break from the weight of the armor…however, it seems I was able to successfully throw her far enough.
Like that, I ran towards the huge fireball myself.
「Nuah!?」 (Hind)
「Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiind!」 (Yumir)
The same way I used it in the battle against the Emperor, I used the Shinto Priest’s high magical resistance as a shield against magic.
If we can’t dodge it, I should at least keep damage to a minimum…!!Besides, even if it comes to the worst case scenario and I’m taken out, it doesn’t change the fact that it’ll be our win if Yumir is left.
The reason I ran into it myself was to keep Yumir as far away as possible from the radius of its effect.
Once the fire settled down, my remaining HP was…
「1!? I was left with 1 HP!? I’m alive!!」 (Hind)
「Ooh, what luck! It’s the first time I’ve seen it in this game, being left with 1 HP!」 (Yumir)
「This…has to be a lie right? The attack I put everything I had in…rather that crushing both of you, to think I was unable to defeat even one of you…」 (Herrscha)
Herrscha was dumbfounded at the sight of what she was seeing and dropped to her knees, then she finally declared that she was surrendering.
