”What?!”

I used the fla hunter closest toI just stretched out a part of me and tried to 'parry' the bullet of fire away, for a lack of a better term I couldn't afford to fail there, so I used [Reroll] to raise e was reduced by half, and I could get ht away after the parry

The hunters were fast, but not the one carelessly believing I was down frorab on hie ht there! This is our chance!”

”Boss, stop!”

The ician was about to burn the both of us like he did with the goon, and this time the other hunter took offense to that I took the chance to absorb the life of the downed hunter post-haste

”I a orders!”

Author's Note: The fights still see to the big booms sooner or later

A bit of exposition for [Reroll]:

Actions have a fixed 3 chance of being a critical failure

Chances of success for physical attacks are lowered by the opponent's dodge rate Magic-like effects can vary in power, is modified by the opponent's resistance plus other factors, but they only rarely fail co all des When a demon is feared by a weaker opponent, for each rank the demon possesses, the opponent's success rate drops by 10

The Reroll skill also has ranks At its current rank, the protagonist can use it twice in a row The skill consuic each time it fails If it succeeds, and if the skill was used on a target that wasn't the skill user, it consu to the power difference between the target and the user And of course, rerolling can fail every single time
