Book 2: Chapter 14-3: Hero

Whats the point of such trivial things!?

She cried out and roughly attacked me with even greater speed and ferocity. Among the sword swings she mixed in punches and kicks.

However, I was dodging these attacks with more and more ease. No matter how many attacks came I was dodging them safely.

My automatic movement magic Program was evolving. Program was a spell that would only read data from an opponents body and choose the optimal movements to deal with their actions. However, along the way it would collect data on how they moved, what habits they had, and it would build a pattern. The accumulated data would improve my responses and my movements would increase in speed and accuracy.

It would start to catch up and predict what the opponent would do even before they started their movements.

She had been fighting me for quite some time. The longer I observed her movements the more pronounced my advantage would be.

A short while ago I had removed Wind Armor. At this point I was able to dodge her blows even without the added assistance.

Once again I spotted an opening. This time I moved the right hand that she still assumed was broken and thrust my palm into her chest.

Kwaa

It feels bad doesnt it? The surface is hard, but impacts still travel through it.

What I had used was a technique that pierces through armor. I had aimed at her heart with it and hit. No matter what kind of monster you were a strike directly at your heart would slow or stop your movements for some time.

Since I had no need for Wind Armor I had replaced the fourth spell with Self-Healing Enhancement.

Finally my dominant hand had completely recovered.

Plus if youre only hardening yourself then I can do this as well.

I crouched low and used the instant she was still stunned to kick her feet out from under her. Her body began falling to the ground.

As she was still in the midst of falling I called a powerful gust of wind to send her flying up into the sky.

Since her feet hadnt been touching the ground she had no way to brace herself and so she was flung into the air like a doll. I instantly bound her in the air using my wind magic.

Lucy, Kuu!

Got it!

Leave it to me!

Ever since I had kicked Kuu away she had sat on the sidelines biding her time and charging her flames for the moment she got the opportunity to attack.

She said with a smile as lightning shot from her hand.

The lightning moved at a speed exceeding 200km per second and it had an output of 90,000,000,000 watts exceeding the power of the real thing.

Let aside dodging you couldnt even react. It had enough power to kill me a thousand times over.

But that lightning strike would never reach me.

Ill return your previous line back to you! Thats your trump card? What a let down

This cant be!

Once again she summoned her magic power and fired more lightning bolts than seemed possible.

It seems she had absolute faith in this lightning attack.

No matter how unbelievable the amount of magic power Heroes possessed, they did not borrow aid from the mana around them and could only use the magic inherent in their bodies. Even with her storage capacity she kept firing off these lightning bolts that consumed incredible amounts of energybefore long her limits would appear.

However, no matter how hard she tried the lightning bolts would never reach me.

Its useless. That level of power will never be able to pierce my defenses.

I lied with a complete poker face.

Indeed, even though I had constructed a magical defense, piercing it was a matter of power.

Of course the truth was something different. Originally air was an insulator that didnt allow electricity to pass through. A lightning strike was when the electrical discharge built up enough power to burn through it and strike its target.

However, if the air was too high pressure and thick the destructive bolt would be unable to pass through. I had raised the atmospheric pressure of the air around me to stop the bolt from passing through. No matter how powerful the strike it would be unable to pierce my defenses.

Then how do you like this!!

She was easily provoked and summoned an extra large lightning strike.

I easily blocked it while taking no damage. However, I acted like the strike had pierced through my defenses a bit and damaged me.

Ku!

Hahaha! This is my power! Dont you see!? Thats nothing, I can go even stronger!

As long as she raised the power of her attacks she would be able to burn me to cinders. She believed that silly lie and continued to put all her power into wasting her magic.
