Chapter 257

I steeled myself and then used Presence Block again . I thought I could hear Daniela click her tongue .

Daniela’s ‘Presence Detection’ was very high-level . This was no surprise since she had practically been using it nonstop . And yet, I was able to hide from her . It was partly because of this magic mist .

The magic took the shape of mist as a way of commanding the area we were in . In other words, I had control over it . Magic was about imagination . So the mist was hiding me . The power of magic could cause optical refractions etcetera . It was hard to explain .

“Huh…!”

Daniela was using magic . I suspected that she would use wind magic in an attempt to blow the mist away . Of course, I had a way of dealing with that . The dark blue magic that emitted from my greatsword grew darker, and then it swallowed up the wind magic . As the mist connected the mana, all of it that surrounded us was under my command .

Once Daniela understood that she couldn’t use magic, she switched to attacking with her bow . An arrow struck the ground where I had been standing a moment ago, but now she didn’t have wind to aid her . It was just a normal arrow . And I was moving with Legs of the G.o.d Wolf, so she couldn’t hit me . Not only that, but my feet weren’t actually touching the ground, so there were no footsteps either . She couldn’t see or hear me .

As soon as the area was filled with mist, the chances of Daniela winning became nonexistent .

Well, I had crushed the possibility of her winning by ‘score,’ but she could still win if she defeated me before the time ran out . After all, I wasn’t just going to sit in one place . We made a promise, after all… I was going to defeat her with everything I had .

And so I sent ice energy into the mist . It was easy, as the ice dragon armor helped me, but I was also at a point where I had to be careful about how much magic I was using . It was incredibly rare for me to use so much, and I was starting to feel the pain .

The temperature dropped all at once, but it had no effect on me . This was also due to the ice dragon armor . And the wind dragon equipment and Legs of the G.o.d Wolf allowed me to use the power of the wind smoothly . As the wind rose quickly, I could act quickly . There was also an AGI boost on top of it all . Still, it made me wonder what I’d be capable of if I had a real apt.i.tude for wind magic…

But, never mind that now . I had to deal with Daniela . I could tell that she was waiting for a chance to use magic . The magic energy was building up inside of her . While I controlled the energy around us, I couldn’t reach inside of her . Well, maybe at night time .

I aimed at Daniela and unleashed an Ice Arrow . As there was so much moisture in the air, it was very easy to create . I just had to freeze the mist in the right shape . It shot towards her, silently . However, it missed . She cut it down with her rapier .

“In that case…”

I created arrows from the mist surrounding her and fired them . She shouldn’t be able to dodge them at that range .

“Hmmph!”

However, she survived the attack with her sword and martial arts . I had never seen her kick an arrow out of the air before… She must have learned to do it recently . Yes, it was dumb to a.s.sume I was the only one here learning new tricks .

In any case, this meant that ranged attacks weren’t going to cut it . So, what then? I would have to hide in the mist and sneak up on her . And so I pulled my hood down and went into stealth mode . Yes, it wouldn’t make a difference, but it made me feel more concealed .

I would hit and fall back . This was a matter of speed .

“…!”

“!?”

The first hit . I hacked down at Daniela’s back with the greatsword . She ducked just in the nick of time, but I didn’t move to a counterattack . It was important to stick to the basics . That was the trick to winning . And so I vanished into the mist again and attacked from a different direction . Daniela was quick to respond with her sword, however, it was difficult to block a broadsword with such a thin blade . She could soften the blow a little by allowing herself to fly back . It was a good decision, but she could only fall back so far . After all, the entire stage was covered in mist .

Another hit . And another . While she was barely keeping up, she blocked, dodged, and managed an occasional counter-attack . Her movements were so precise that it was shocking to think that her left leg was injured . She was that much of a threat .

“Kk…!”

While our swords rang against each other, I would unleash arrows from different directions . More and more small wounds appeared on her body .

“So, this is how you are going to play!”

“I’m going to do whatever I have to . ”

Perhaps some would call me cowardly . I couldn’t say for sure that I wouldn’t be annoyed if I was facing an opponent who fought like this . Still, it was only because Daniela was that dangerous . She was strong . This was the only thing I could do to prevent her from shooting at me with her arrows .

As we continued to trade blows, I started lowering the temperature in order to slow her movements . Not the most honorable thing, yes . But a jack of all trade and master of none will do what he must .

“Very well, then… I will do the same . ”

The same? Does she really think she can turn the tables now… 

And then it hit me .  

Daniela’s best skill . Fresh Green Eye . d.a.m.n it!

“Hahh…!”

She was going to call the wind spirits and blow the mist away!

“Spirits…lend me your power!”

“No…!”

Jade-colored energy began to explosively increase . It was all the wind spirits… I tried to suppress it with the energy around me . Every nerve in my body seemed to be used in order to transmit the power . The ice dragon armor was pushed to its limit .

“Ggg…uhh…!”

Tragically, there was no iceberg or river here . All we had was clear air and wind . There were no ice spirits or water spirits, and so I could not beat the power of the wind spirits . And just like that, the blue colored magic was overwritten .

“d.a.m.n it…d.a.m.n…! I was so close…!”

“It is over! ‘Blast Hurricane . Full Burst’!!”

Daniela usually performed her magic without chanting . It quickly took shape .

“Ahh…”

The green tornado appeared on the stage . It started off small, however, it quickly expanded to the point where it could swallow up the stage . I didn’t want to think about how many spirits had come to help her . It was clearly above skill level 10, and with such force, it easily sucked up the mist and then swallowed me before I could run .

(Ah, it was just like a comic book…)

It wasn’t every day that a tornado shot you into the air . I had no sense of direction anymore . Such were my thoughts as I was violently thrown around and shredded by wind blades .

Even activating Legs of the G.o.d Wolf didn’t help me . That’s how dense the wind and Daniela’s power was .

And so I could not resist . I flew in the air and then plummeted to the ground .

“Uuhhh…”

I must have blacked out for a second, the pain in my back was so bad . When I opened my eyes, Daniela was looking down at me .

“How do you feel?”

She was pointing her rapier down at me and had a victorious grin on her face .

“Ah…well…I don’t know…”

“You do not know?”

She tilted her head and the smile was replaced by her usual expression . I couldn’t help but laugh at the sudden shift . It was cute .

“Hehe . It’s weird . I feel really good . ”

“You freak…”

She looked put-off, but it was the truth . Perhaps it was weird to feel good about losing . But I had challenged her with everything and lost . It was a good way to lose .

My current best and hers . Neither of us could have done more than we had . As proof of it, I couldn’t even get up . Daniela looked like she would fall at any minute . The fight couldn’t continue .

So there was only one way to end it .

“I surrender . Surrender . ”

I did feel a little bad about the people watching . After all, I had obscured a huge chunk of the fight with my mist, and then it had all ended with a tornado . They had no idea what was happening .

Still, it was our fight . And we got what we wanted from it . It was the perfect stage for our little egoistic fight . I was sure they’d forgive us .

It was with such thoughts in my head, that cheers and shouts poured down on us like rain .
