“Gah!”

Heavy. ……”

I used my two swords to block Becua as he swung his arms down, but the attack was heavier than expected.

“Damn!”

As my torso was unprotected, he swung his tail, which was there for some reason even though he was a bear, at my torso.  If I avoided it, an auto-attack would probably come, but it would be less powerful than a normal attack, so I decided to avoid it.

“Gaha…”

But the power of the auto-attack was higher than it had been before. Could it be that the power of auto-attacks is proportional to the power of the attack that was dodged?

While I was thinking about this, Becua was still coming towards me after I was blown away. Why is his armor getting thicker, but his speed still increasing?

“Damn it…”

I had no choice but to attack him, as he was still too slow to keep up with me. As soon as I got up, I started running and went around to his back.

Gan! Gan!

“Hey! Seriously?”

“Gah!”

“Guha!”

His eyes hadn’t been able to keep up with my speed, so this time I was able to land two blows with my sword on the unprotected neck, but I couldn’t break the ice. It seems that the thicker the ice, the more durable it becomes. While I was surprised by this, Becua swung his tail at me. I dodged on the spur of the moment and got hit by an auto-attack.

“What should I do…”

While Becua was fixing the cracks in the ice around his neck, I was thinking of a way to beat him. Since it took a bit of time to fix the ice, I was able to come up with a plan. But once I execute it there would be no second chance So I needed to weaken Becua as much as possible before I could do it.

“Gah!”

“Guh”

And from that point on, for about five minutes, he constantly attacked Becua to keep him from resting. He tried to avoid or dodge all of Becua’s attacks, but inevitably he would get hit by an auto-attack. When it hit him, he quickly regained his stance and continued attacking Becua.

“Haa…haa…”

“Haa…haa…”

We were both getting very tired from the constant movement. And Becua’s ice suit was getting thinner by the minute. As proof of this, the tail, which is unbecoming of a bear, was also gone by the time I noticed. My magic power was also diminishing. So this is the only chance to make my move.

“Stonewall.”

“What?”

Becua was alarmed by the sudden use of a magic that seemed useless. But this magic itself was not for attack. This Stonewall spell used very little magic. It was made by cutting corners, so to speak. So it’s actually fragile.

“Hah!”

When he kicked such a fragile wall, it collapsed in the blink of an eye and a cloud of dust flew all around.

“huh?”

At that moment, I deactivated my enchantment, which made a loud buzzing noise because I was covered in electricity, and activated my stealth skill. That’s when Becua finally seemed to notice my aim. He was scurrying around checking the area.

“Spirit Ziel, lightning double enchantment.”

I approached Bekua, whispering that, and slashed at him from the side with the sword in my left hand, right at his neck.

Pakin!!!

“Guh!”

Perhaps it was a wild intuition, but Becua suddenly turned towards me and guarded with both arms. But more than half of his armor was cut off.

And I have one more sword. I can win with this!

“Haaaaa!”

“I won’t let you!”

I tried strike with the other sword, with all my might, the sword that cut more than halfway into Becua’s arm. Seeing this, Becua hurriedly threw a kick at me. But I’m faster.

Bakin!

Gashan!

“Guaaaaaah!

“Gaha…”

I was blown away by the kick from Becua, which came late, hearing the two sounds of Becua’s ice armor and my sword shattering. IThe double enchantment has already been forced off by the loss of magic.

“Gggh”

I hit the wall of the barrier and stopped. Because my double enchantment was forcefully turned off and I hurt all over, I was blown away quite a bit. Normally, the attack would have had little effect. But my whole body hurt so much that I couldn’t even stand up anymore. 

When I was able to move, I noticed my sword was completely shattered from the base. I wonder if it will repair properly once I get out of the barrier.

“Damn it, I missed!”
