559 Is this supposed to be just slightly dangerous”!? (2/2)

The double use of [Overload] had indeed been effective.

In fact, he felt almost as if he could injure others simply by glaring at them.

And so, he glared at his opponent.

*Crack!*

There was a loud cracking sound as the gray runes on the minotaur boy's wrists and ankles suddenly collapsed!

The minotaur boy shook slightly as he immediately created a seal and cast an even stronger defense spell.

Many complex spell formations continuously appeared around his body. A dark gray mystical light appeared on him as a large number of runes shone around him.

Protective spell, [Ninth-level Body]!

This was the strongest defensive spell that the minotaur boy was able to cast at high speed. This spell was easily capable of reflecting even attacks from tanks or rocket launchers. No ordinary Spiritual Ability user would be able to break his shield.

However…

Seiji rushed forward and swung his sword.

*Bam!!!*

The minotaur boy blocked this blow, but his defensive spell collapsed completely! He was sent flying backwards from the impact!!

Actually, he had wanted to avoid the attack. Theoretically speaking, he should have been able to do so. Yet, when his enemy's sword swung at him, he felt like it was impossible to dodge! It was as if the very space around him had limited his movements.

Wasn't this just like cheating! Why was a novice able to use such a frightening power!?

After backflipping and catching his balance again, the minotaur boy was now roaring in his mind as some blood trickled out of his mouth.

Just taking this one blow caused him to suffer internal injuries!

He never expected that his opponent could use such a technique. It was as if his opponent was just a little kid that he believed would bring out a plastic sword or a toy gun, but actually drove out a fully equipped mecha instead!

A ”somewhat dangerous technique”… The hell, how was this just ”somewhat dangerous”!? Did this guy have an even more dangerous technique in his arsenal!!?

The minotaur boy would rather face a real mecha instead of fighting against such a terrifying power! Yet his pride wouldn't allow him to surrender.

Seiji continued to attack.

The minotaur boy immediately cast a healing magic upon himself and did his best to increase his defenses. Only by defending with all his might did he barely manage to forcefully take Seiji's second sword attack.

*Bam! Bam! Bam!* …Seiji attacked continuously while the minotaur boy could only defend. His protective spell kept collapsing, so he had to renew it continuously.

”Leader…” Mika's eyes lit up after seeing that Seiji now had the advantage.

Meanwhile, the dog-head girl smiled wryly under her mask upon seeing the minotaur boy's wretched state.

'At the very least, I have to slice him once,' Seiji thought to himself.

'I absolutely can't let him land a blow!' The minotaur boy grit his teeth. If this sword which possessed such fearsome power landed a direct blow against him, even if it was only the back of the sword, it would be impossible for him to handle!

*Smack!!!*

After barely managing to hold on for a while, the minotaur boy was sent flying through the air for a second time.

Seiji instantly caught up to his opponent, swung the back of his sword, and was about to slice down…

”Stop!” the dog-head girl shouted out.

Seiji stopped in his movements.

The minotaur boy backflipped in midair and dodged the attack.

”If you hit the minotaur boy just now, he would have been seriously injured,” the dog-head girl said. ”Let's stop here, Mister knight leader.”

Seiji glanced over at her before turning to look at the minotaur boy.

”Hmph… Butting in unnecessarily.” The minotaur boy hmphed before he sheathed his sword and fell silent.

His behavior was a tacit admittance of what the dog-head girl just said.

Seiji glanced at him for a while before also sheathing his sword.

”Thank you for teaching me.” He politely concluded the fight.
