CH 267

“Now… what do I do?”

The degree of troublesomeness I think is Female Hero = Holy Woman > A > B, in that order.

That female hero has no chance if she has no demerit other than being forced to deactivate if she touches someone. She can avoid attacks forever.

And the Saint. These buffs and debuffs are a problem. If it wasn’t for this, A and B would have already left the game. But for some reason, she just stays behind them the whole time and doesn’t seem to attack me. And because of her, even Sophie’s movement is blocked. So the female hero and the saint are tied for first place, which is pretty annoying.

A is not defeated in a one-on-one fight, but it hurts a little to be made unable to use magic in this situation. If I use magic badly, I give him a lot of skills. I don’t know how many skills can be copied from the target, so I have to be vigilant.

B should be left alone. Even if he can see the future, he can’t do anything if he can’t get into combat. This guy, like A, can be defeated in a one-on-one fight, so I’ll leave him for later.

“Okay… that’s enough.”

“Huh?”

I don’t think I’ll get any more information about the heroes. The time for gathering information is over.

“Divine Lightning Half Enchantment, Recovery Triple Enchantment.”

With my status lowered by the debuff, Divine Lightning would have been able to do a normal enchantment. However, that wouldn’t have enough magic power. Due to the fact that I was giving my magic power to Yug and the others, my magic power right now was not infinite. The time limit would be a little over a minute. I’ll finish off all four of them before then.

“Shit!”

I first moved to where the female hero and the saint were. I tried to cut them both there, but before I knew it, the female hero was gone. Well, it would be good if I could just eliminate the saint.

“Shield!”

The saint made a shield with holy magic, but that kind of thing disappeared with a magic slash. However, because of the magic slash, it was aimed at her neck, but it shifted a bit and slashed her stomach.

“Beautiful…”

The saint collapsed as she said that. At the same time, the buffs and debuffs are gone.

“Next…”

I turned to A this time. I don’t know if this guy has my fast reflex or what, but he was waving his index finger at me and provoking me.

“Second person.”

“Haa haa…”

It’s like I’ve been using high speed reflexes since my previous life, that’s why I can use it. But you can’t expect A who just got it to use it effectively.  The reflective speed is increased, but that reflective speed is not utilized at all. And since the buffs and debuffs have been removed, there’s quite a difference in status. I dropped A’s head.

I heard a “Picone! but ignored it. I don’t have time to worry about that.

“Third person.”

“Gah!”

The next person I cut was B. He was running away by himself. It seems that he saw this happen in the future. But I caught up with him and cut his head off just like I did with A. I had to finish him off first because it would have been troublesome if he had interfered when I was about to finish off the female hero.

“The last one…”

All that’s left is the female hero. I was annoyed by B’s behavior. I lost about 15 seconds because of this. But I have about 30 seconds left.

“Ha!”

I rushed to the female hero and swung my sword. But where she was standing was empty.

“Where did she go…!”

The trouble with this woman is that every time she disappears, you have to look for her.

“There she is…”

I found her running away at the edge of my bird eye range. If there’s a time stop, there’s usually no need to run away. Time stopping seems to have a cool time.

“Alright!”

At this distance, lightning shrink would be faster. If I beat her with this, it would be the end. And when I was about to do the lightning shrink, I saw the saint at the edge of the range of my bird’s eye in the opposite direction from the female hero.

“Huh?”

I hastily aborted the lightning shrink and looked at the saint. Then I saw that she was using holy magic with my magic high-speed sensing. She deliberately canceled the buffs and debuffs in order to heal herself! But I must have slashed half of her stomach. Can Holy Magic still heal her from that! I was torn between defeating the weakened saint and the female hero who was probably on her cool time. That was my mistake.

“Lightning shrink.”

I moved towards the saint with a lightning shrink. It turns out that the female hero isn’t invincible, since she needs a cool down to stop time. Then I should defeat the saint so that Sophie, Bequa, and the others can join the fight.

“Holy Impact…”

The saint moved and tried to attack me with holy magic as I moved towards her with lightning shrink. I prepared to slash that magic. I hadn’t reacted to the Crisis High-Speed Detection.

“………?”

Holy Impact was released towards the ground. I thought it missed simply because she was lying on her stomach. But it wasn’t.

“So that’s how it is!”

The saint aimed at the ground. To get away from me.

“Holy Impact.”

“Same plan…”

As I hurriedly approached, she used the same magic again. I thought I wouldn’t be fooled this time, but the Crisis High-Speed Sensing reacted. I panicked a little and slashed the Holy Magic.

“Now!”

“Yah!”

“Pow!”

When the saint gave the signal, my face was kicked by the female hero. I was in a bad position because I was forced to slash the Holy Magic. So I took a couple of steps back. However, since I had the Divine Lightning Half Enchantment, there was no damage at all.

”I guess you’re out of time now.”

“Tch…

However, the magic is gone now. All enchantments have been forcibly removed. Did the saint realize that I didn’t have enough time due to my magic power problem?

If this was going to happen, I should have given more magic to Zeal with all my might. Even so, Zeal can’t store infinite magical power, so this is probably the limit. It was my mistake in judgment that I failed to kill the two this time. If I hadn’t hesitated at that time, I probably would have defeated the saint.
