Chapter 272: The Sage Turns to a Secret Plan
Hundreds of beast abilities flooded towards the hero.
But she responded to it with just a single swing of her sword.
It was such a fascinatingly vivid sight that drew ones attention, the deadly technique cutting it all down at once.
She continued to push forward.
If it were the me from before, I would have been cornered just like this.
However, Ive achieved an awakening of sorts now.
I activated abilities one after another against her speedy swordsmanship.
As I got away from her swords range, I casted a various number of spells.
It feels different, my mind is clear.
I was impressed with the clarity of my head as I bombarded the area ahead.
After my talk with her, all my hesitation and worries completely disappeared.
I had received closure and that allowed me to release all my power.
I was in the state where I could draw out my full potential in the truest sense.
Smoke rose from the targeted location.
She jumped out of it.
She was a little scuffed, but there were no noticeable wounds.
I already expected such a result though.
No problem. I only need to shoot more.
I shot a forbidden spell in the form of chains.
The wave of chains split and multiplied, crawling across the ground in a rush.
She deflected them all with her sword swinging in all directions.
Im still too slow. Shes still ahead. I have to surpass her!
By integrating power I borrowed from various sources, it became my own strength.
I made up for the difference in our skills and struck at her ultimate swordsmanship.
I focused solely on the hero in front of me.
Ignoring the sounds and lights around us, I continued to immerse myself in this battle.
Eventually, my attacks managed to deflect her sword.
It was a momentary gap that one could hardly consider an opening.
The sword spun away and danced high in the sky.
gh.
Her eyes widened in surprise.
I proceeded to stab forward without missing this great opportunity.
She jumped to avoid the attack and grabbed the sword mid-air before slashing downwards.
This is it.
I was convinced as I saw the hero descend.
I used space magic and transferred a certain object there.
The thing that appeared out of thin air was a rotten arrow.
The shaft was rotten and discolored, seemingly brittle enough that a breeze could break it.
I launched it using magic.
Naturally, she saw the trajectory of the arrow and tilted her sword to deflect.
The arrow ricocheted off the blade.
However, the arrow forcibly corrected its path, gained propulsive force, and accelerated.
The arrow pierced through her heart as if locked onto it.
