Chapter 255 - 254 - End Of The "tiredness" Battle

Noah picked up his sword and ran toward Meduz, leaving a trail of light behind. 

"Damn, are you faster than me?!" Struggling to keep up with Noah's movements, Meduz ended up suffering a small cut that hit her right arm that she had used to protect herself.

'Isadora, you said she had little resistance.'

[ She has a low resistance, just look at her injury. Just my blessing is enough to eat away at her body. ]

Noah looked at Meduz's arm. The wound he had made was not deep, but it seemed to be quite painful and effective. Meduz's arm began to rot at the spot where his sword had struck.

Looking at her face, Noah could tell that she was biting her lips to keep from screaming in pain.

'I get it now. I'm going to keep hitting her until her whole body rots.'

Noah advanced again, but this time Meduz managed to keep up with his movements and received his attack.

But as soon as Noah got close, he disappeared, this time appearing on Meduz's back.

"You brat." But Meduz who had realized his attack used some kind of protection to stop Noah's sword. Her protection was broken quickly, but it gave her a little time to be able to react.

Then using her claws, she jumped on Noah.

"You're not going to hit me." And with ease, he disappeared and soon after appeared behind her again. He swung his sword and this time Meduz failed to activate her protection.

The sword struck Meduz directly in the back, causing a large cut that looked extremely painful.

But even though Meduz was feeling a lot of pain, she just gritted her teeth and then turned to look at Noah.

[ Noah, you don't have to be so defensive, you have the invincibility of my blessing. ]

Isadora suddenly called Noah in the middle of the battle.

'Yes, I already know about it, but I'd rather not be hit directly by her. Now stop taking away my concentration.'

[ ... ]

"You are making me extremely angry." Saying this, Meduz's injuries that Noah had made began to fade. Next, some tentacles started coming out of his arms.

"So you are just like those armors. You don't seem to have much magical talent equal to them either." Noah sneered at Meduz, causing a great burst of anger on her.

And with her rage, she kicked the ground, causing a large curtain of dust to hang in the air.

She then approached Noah with her eyes wide open as she showed her fangs to him. The tentacles coming out of her arms were swinging all around, causing Noah great discomfort.

But he was not intimidated by this scene.

As if he was watching everything in slow motion, he could see Meduz turning her body and preparing to kick him with her right foot directly in the face.

And since he could see this attack clearly, he grabbed his sword and put it in front of his face to hold Meduz's foot.

Meduz's foot crashed against the sword and began to "burn".

But without seeming to care about it, she took her right foot off Noah's sword and then began to throw a few quick punches that were aimed at Noah's vital points.

"Ora, Ora, Ora..." Shouting as if she was in Japanese animation, she hit Noah's sword and also hit his body with some punches. But since Noah's blessing gave temporary invincibility, he felt only the impact, but no pain. 

'If I didn't have that invincibility, I'd be fucked.' He thought as he smiled to himself.

[ You sure would have been seriously injured. ]

Noah was being forced further and further away as he received Meduz's punches. And afraid that his invincibility would end at any moment, he decided to use magic to push her away.

With a simple thought, a large amount of magic began to exhale from Noah's body. Meduz, who was nearby and kept throwing continuous punches at Noah, noticed that it was dangerous for her to continue there, so she moved away.

The moment she walked away, Noah pointed his sword at her.

Then the sword came out of Noah's hand and turned into a concentrated beam of light that approached Meduz in less than a second.

Meduz who saw that attack threw herself to the ground.

She couldn't do it fast enough, so a big wound had been made on her right shoulder. 

"You brat." But ignoring the pain and focusing only on her anger, Meduz quickly got up and still crouching started running towards Noah.

Being crouched down, Meduz was almost as tall as Noah, so he was able to look directly into Meduz eyes before receiving her attack.

Noah received her punch directly on his chest, but since he had put protection and had his invincibility activated, he was just thrown backward, not suffering any injuries.

And after this, Meduz ran towards him again and started throwing several kicks and punches that were easily avoided and blocked. 

Noah had picked up his sword again, so he was using it to slash Meduz.

But the cuts that appeared on her arms, legs, or other parts of her body were disappearing shortly after they were made.

Noah could tell that this was going to be a battle against tiredness.

'Or maybe until my blessing is deactivated.'

####

The battle continued for over an hour before Meduz demonstrated that she was tired.

Noah still had his blessing activated but felt it would not last long.

'How much more time do I have?' He started to feel a little tired and also felt some pain since his invincibility had already been deactivated and he was wounded a few times by Meduz.

[ You only have half an hour left. If you keep the blessing activated any longer than that, you will have problems. ]

'What kind of trouble?'

[ You could be unconscious for days. ]

'I see, so I need to finish this quickly. She already looks tired, so I'll use all my strength now to get rid of her.'

[ ... ]

After his discussion with Isadora, Noah returned his attention to his battle.

He received another attack from Meduz and blocked it with his sword. Reacting to Meduz's attack, he swung his sword diagonally aiming at her neck.

But even though she was tired, Meduz blocked his sword with her claws. 

"You look tired and your injuries don't seem to be healing. Don't you want to give up?" Noah said as he advanced toward Meduz and swung his sword aiming at her chest.

Meduz jumped back to avoid his attack. But again her clothes were hit and her skin was damaged a bit.

"I won't give up, and you? You also seem to be getting tired." Meduz smiled and this time it was her turn to attack. She used her claws from her right hand to try to cut Noah as her tentacles tried to wrap around him.

But Noah stepped back and avoided her claws and used his sword to cut the tentacles that regenerated soon after.

"I'm not too tired, but I am a little worried." Noah advanced against her again and this time used his magic at the same time he used his sword to cut Meduz.

Meduz was injured and tired, so her reaction time had slowed dramatically.

Because of this, she managed to avoid only Noah's sword, the magic Noah had cast hit Meduz's body directly and threw her backward.

The magic wasn't very strong, it was just a concentrated beam of light at its lowest level.

So the attack was just enough to bruise Meduz's skin a little.

And without letting Meduz make an attack, Noah bent down and put his hand on the ground following Isadora's instructions. Then a large pillar of light appeared.

"You can use that too? Holy shit!" Meduz was breathing heavily as she tried to keep her torn clothes on her body. She was almost naked.

And even with almost no clothes, she started to run.

Not having the pretense of letting Meduz get away, Noah ran towards her and stood in her way. Then he began to use his sword to exchange attacks with Meduz again.

Meduz was getting closer and closer to the pillar of light while being pressed by Noah.

She tried to run away but Noah continued to attack her and kept her in the attack radius of the pillar of light.

Starting to get desperate, Meduz increased her speed a little even though her body was overloading, but Noah would not let her escape.

"LET ME GO! YOU BASTARD."

"I won't let you leave, you will die right here and now. It will be a problem to leave you alive."

"It won't do any good, I'll be back."

"No problem, I'll kill you again if I have to."

"You!!!" Meduz was still staring at Noah trying to find a loophole to escape, but...

Her suddenly struck by the lightning that the Pillar of Light had unleashed.

Even she tried to move away, the beam from the pillar of light that Noah had created was even larger than Isabell's.

She managed to move away from a little, but the beam still hit her.

Hearing a cry of pain and despair, Noah could see Meduz's body turning into dust in the light.

'Haaa~~ I'm tired..' After that, his blessing was deactivated and he fell with his butt on the ground.
