Chapter 100

100 – The Ogre God and the Black Sorcerer

It was the same as the battle with the Holy Paladin Mark, the actual match was still different from what I had expected.

At that time, the damage was estimated to be just one hand, but the result was that the damage actually made both arms and one leg unusable.

It can be said that that was just how excellent he is, but I can also say that my assumptions were unsatisfactory.

I thought I’ve already made some minor adjustments this time, but nevertheless, I’m still full of wounds.

A stab wound piercing through the abdomen, a hole in the palm of my right hand, and an arrow lodged in my right shoulder.

Due to the impact of the collision, Magical Energy was leaking from the wounds.

Orobas’ instantaneous response was amazing.

To think that she could regain her composure so quickly even in the midst of the shock that her partner’s Magic Tool was snatched away.

Even though I had no choice but to do so, I even ended up throwing away my staff.

Now all that’s left is Furcus.

Even though Philip specialized in defense, even the 99th rank Hero was unable to easily destroy the silver, but she actually easily destroyed it with just a single kick or a swing of her arm.

Such a person was approaching me.

Extend.

Pointing the shaft end to the ground, I thought in my mind.

Extend, extend.

The spear stretched its shaft just like what its owner wished for.

Extend, extend- Up to the skies.

「……」

Bam…! A huge arm had swung over to catch me, but she stopped when she broke the extending spear.

By that time I was already high in the sky and this time as well, the spear extending from my hand was longer.

I wished for the spear to be shortened and repaired it while it’s returning to my hand.

「Interesting… but…」

Furcus sank both of her hands into the ground and lifted up a huge lump of earth.

I don’t even need to think about the purpose.

She’s trying to shoot me down.

The scale of every single thing she does is huge.

There’s a limit to what I can do while in the air. It’s going to be tough at this rate.

But I’m not panicking.

Because I believe that things won’t continue on like this.

I looked at it as I continued to fall down.

「I’ve clearly told you to stop ignoring me…!」

The lump of earth that Furcus grabbed was smashed into pieces.

Berith striked it directly from below.

「…Ah, I’ve forgotten about you.」

「…That’s the best thing to say if you’re trying to provoke me.」

Furcus lightly parried Berith’s continuous attacks.

「So dull.」

「Well, that’s because I’m dividing my attention to do another thing.」

Silver『arms』appeared all over the field.

Those arms are holding a silver『cannonball』.

Furcus evaded the『cannonballs』that are thrown one after another. And that’s not all.

Perhaps she had watched the semifinals, since she’s using the broken part of the spear and chunks of the lump of earth to deflect the cannonballs.

She’s probably doing this to avoid the silver being reabsorbed by Berith’s right arm. She had figured out that distance was the key.

But that’s not the purpose of the rain of cannonballs. Or I should say that that’s not the only purpose.

「Here I go.」

Although no one was here to hear it, I still muttered to myself.

In my right hand was the staff that was supposedly thrown away earlier.

In order not to lose it, it was attached to me with silver.

Yes, the『arms』had picked it up and threw it into the sky.

I flowed my Magical Energy into it with all my might. I ignored the fact that my body was approaching the ground and waited for the perfect timing.

And then, the timing was here.

The same as that time with Orobas, I casted Speed Down.

She is not merely wearing an armor, rather she could control the armor by entering inside it.

If the person inside gets slowed down, it is inevitable that the manipulation of the armor will also be hindered.

Then, Berith will boldly strike at that moment.

There was a momentary fluctuation. Furcus tried to change the way she moves her body in response to Speed Down, but Berith used that slight gap to strike her.

It was the first time during this tournament that an attack was able to hit her.

Then Berith struck the abdomen part of her armor three times and immediately jumped back.

At that moment Furcus’ right arm tried to attack her.

The blow that seemed like it’d gouge the ground due to Berith’s avoidance actually…sank into the ground.

It was as if the fist had dropped into water with a thud.

And then it immediately solidified. Furcus’ right arm was buried in the ground.

Berith quickly approached her again and struck her abdomen four times this time.

Now both of her arms are covered in silver.

The silver is connected at her back, moreover the size of her arms were adjusted so that they have the same size.

Although Furcus is hitting Berith with her left arm, she wasn’t able to gather much strength into it, probably due to her stance. So Berith just ignores it and continues to hammer down her punches.

「……」

On top of that, when the『arms』hit the knee of the Reaper Knight, Furcus’ gigantic body fell down right on her own knees.

Both of Berith’s arms are still getting bigger and bigger.

And the other arms are striking Furcus’ elbow.

Just like that time with Philip.

The onslaught lasted less than 10 seconds. My Magical Energy is also decreasing at a tremendous rate.

「…That was a good Black Magic.」

Just when I thought I heard her muttering that, she pulled her right hand out of the silver.

She used both of her arms to grasp Berith’s arms and then…she tore them off.

「…!?」

It’s not just the silver, both arms are missing from Berith’s Avatar.

「Once my body gets used to this degree of decline in speed, it would still be easy for me to move even in this condition.」

That is not something easy to do…. 

The more skilled a person is, the easier it is to notice the trivial discomforts. They would also be quicker to readjust, but Furcus’ readjustment speed is way too quick.

「You know, I’m the one that is right in front of you…!」

At that moment when Furcus tried to find me.

Berith’s fist strikes into Furcus’ armor.

「……」

Although she had lost both arms and is leaking a large amount of Magical Energy, she immediately wrapped the『arms』that she used to hit Furcus’ elbow around her shoulder and used it as a replacement for her arms.

After seeing that, Furcus said.

「…I apologize for my rude actions. Berith, you are also interesting.」

Furcus knocks down Berith’s fist with her left hand and seized her body with her right hand.

Berith still did not give up when both of her arms can no longer be used and head-butts Furcus’ armor.

A crack appeared in the armor.

It is a means of winning that has been opened by her persistence.

「It was wonderful.」

「Don’t say it with a past tense.」

Yes, the fight is not over yet.

I alleviated the impact of the fall by falling into the liquid silver, then I stood close to the wall while holding the spear.

「Extend」

It was so helpful that Berith turned Furcus’ attention towards herself.

The tip of the extended spear…is aimed to penetrate through the crack that Berith made.

Furcus didn’t stay still to watch it happen quietly.

She tries to crush it with her left arm, but the silver wall rises and hinders her movement.

She was unable to destroy the silver wall that had been created from a short distance due to the lack of momentum.

The same goes for the right arm that is seizing Berith.

「I’m going to crush you-」

「I thought that you might want to do that so I am already wearing silver armor. Well, you should be able to crush it though.」

If Berith leaves the field, her magic will disappear. That perception is correct.

But by that time, the spear already pierced her.

She receives the impact.

Furcus’ spear had pierced her Avatar that is inside the armor.

It is aimed right where her heart is located.

Since I know her position inside the armor.

The armor moved backwards.

The blunt end of the spear penetrated into the wall and made a dent on it.

This positioning is because my own strength is not enough to ensure that I will not be pushed back by Furcus.

Eventually, the armor stops moving.

The spear had pierced her heart.

Although, the opponent is Furcus.

「Wha?」

The front part of the armor opened.

From inside, she…
