CH 47

How should I get out of this situation? If I rush in, I'm sure to be countered, and my steaming is  low  I try to take this into an endurance battle.  I have plenty of magic power, but if I continue with   strategy of stretching things out, I  will sure to run out of magic power . The only reason  I can maintain a stalemate like this is because  i am prolonging the time until death in exchange for a huge amount of magic power.

"Hey kid. Why are you so strong?""

Felix was talking to me as if we were long-time friends, as if he didn't like the situation as much as I did. I don't have  to answer him, but I do want time to think of a way out of this, so I do.

". I've been working out my whole life, and I don't want to be  mixted in with the other kids around here.

"Ever since you were born?　You can't  train  yourself while  you're a baby."

"But it's true,  Otherwise, I wouldn't be so strong."

"Wow, there are some interesting people in this world. I'm about to turn 30 and I've never met a kid as strong as you."

"No way."

I can't take it lightly.

"Now, have you come up with a better solution?

"Tsk."

Apparently, he was being shown mercy. For him, this is a game, even if his life is on the line. I don't have time for this, but I'  won't a crazy bastard take advantage of me.

".Unfortunately, I didn't come up with a good plan. I'll just have to do my best and rely on my luck .

"Oh?　What a boring guy. I'm going to kill you.

"You're going to kill him either way , aren't you?Why  Don't you have the option of letting him go?

"There's no  such option. Die!"

"You son of a bitch!"

Felix comes at me with his great sword   held  it like a spear.I intercepted it with my "binding rope," but the magical power ropes used to capture him were easily cut.

"Ooh!　My head and neck are going to be cut off!"

"You're going to  die in this pace "

I flew to the side, firing shock bullet as I fled. Felix  without problem e slicing it off, but...

"That's a shame."

"What?　Aah!"

The first impact bullet I fired was hidden by another bursting impact bullet, which hit him directly. Even though it is less powerful than a normal "shock bullet", it will definitely cause a lot of damage if it hits.

"I am not done yet ."

I fired one "Bursting Impact Bullet" after another. It was a little difficult to control it l, but I still managed to hit Felix with five or six shots.

"Hmm?"

Felix's voice came out of the cloud of dust.

"I'm Felix the Wind Slayer!

He shouts, standing up again, this time striking at me from behind.

"Nnnnngh!"

--Nnnn!

The knife I held up as quickly as I could - the one Mei had given me - caught the heavy blow and shattered it into pieces. The magic blade that I had been holding dissipated, leaving me unarmed.

"Ugh"

I  get away and  gain a distance of a dozen meters between  us , but I didn't feel safe. He'd close the distance to me in an instant.

"You ...... can't  win up with that.

"I'm not going  stop until I've killed my prey.

The reason for Felix's strength may be his superior swordsmanship, but it's just as likely that it's his unreasonable ability to take a beating.

He was not particularly good at defense, nor did he wear armor. And yet, Felix would get up again and again. Not protecting  anyone, but just to satisfy his own desires.

There is no one more annoying to deal with.

--He's like a hero in a dark fantasy. His motives are bullshit, but his refusal to go down makes me think he's cool.

"But I can't forgive you."

He kidnapped Lily. 

So I will never forgive him. I'm not going to lose.

"Last time. Here i cam ."

"We're almost out of time. Let's have a nice dance."

"I have no  interest in  dancing with men.

"You're a real pain in the ass, you know that? Die!"

"...... you!"

I don't have much magic left, but my physical damage is minimal. On the other hand, he has a huge physical advantage over me, but he has very little magic power from the start and he' s fully wounded. The odds were in my favor.

Ah !"

"Oooohhhh!"

Felix's "Wind Slash" and my "Impact Bullet" were at odds. I'm not backing down, and neither  he is .

"I'm not taking any chances.

"......!

There's not much magic left. Felix was nearing his limit  due to that  attack. If  he  don't, we'll end up fighting each other.

--But I'm not alone. I have the Goddess of Victory with me!

A star twinkled in the night sky.

--Ta-da!

The sound of a single gunshot echoed across the battlefield.

"Wha..!"

Felix's head was bleeding and he was dizzy, and I wasn't about to let that chance go .

"Ohhhhhh... ！！！！!"

I poured all of my magic power into my attack  and sent a storm of "shock  bullets " at him.

Since  he  hadn't focused his magic, each shot might have been as powerful as a mortar. It was so powerful and loud that Felix couldn't hear his screams.

".................."

The cloud of dust cleared. Felix, who had been blown tens of meters away, had been knocked unconscious against the side of the road.

"I won. ......

I turned my head toward the moone, where the moonlit belfry loomed majestically. I gave a thumbs up to the goddess of victory, Mei, who was probably in the bell tower.
