1352 City of Pleasure, Part 187 ~ Retaliation ㉝ ~

It's also like a black snake that emerged to protect him, and if you think so, it disperses and becomes like a wall. It was clearly a different use of witchcraft than before. And at the end of the day, when I deformed him into multiple rings spinning around me, Dart snapped good at it.

"What do you think this is?

"You're an unfathomable kid, you don't like that, do you? This is, hey, it's called sand iron. This is why iron production tends to flourish in estuary towns. It's just that the stones in this city have been brought from a volcano or somewhere, with a lot of iron components. This magic will also be activated enough here.

If you can manipulate sand, so can sand iron in its application. I know a little bit about the magic of gold. "

"I didn't ask you."

Layers set it up, but the swinging down Marveys-Blood was stopped by a changed ring of sand and iron. Anything that moves in magic should cut it. That's what I was thinking, and they played it. Dirt was expecting this result, or he was calmly watching the layer react without even looking surprised.

"Apparently you don't know the characteristics of that demon sword in detail. There are a relatively large number of weapon defenses with the properties of magic deactivation, but most of them make no sense unless they come into direct contact with magic. The magic that can be cursed again is once in a single contact. In this way, if more than one surgical ceremony is incorporated into the sand iron, the sword makes no sense. If you're a magician, you should know what to do about the curse.

Now you can safely melee. The meat shreds if you get caught in a spinning ring of sand and iron at high speeds. Even if you miss my fist once, it will be fatal if the curse is not lifted in time. Well, what do you want to do?

"... no, it just got simpler"

It was a word and deed that could also be taken as a provocation of the dart, but Layer also pulled out Shempez and set up two swords.

"All you have to do is avoid all your attacks and slap every single one of those wheels"

"So he said it was for nothing - this is why I hate kids!

Dart kicks up the stone at his feet and targets the layer. There comes up the magic formations set up by Dart, and the layers cut them off in an instant. But now he bounced some of it back at Shempez instead of beating it all down with Marveysblood. The bouncing stone activates the trap, but it releases toward the dart that tried to jump. But Dirt predicted even that, and he hasn't avoided leaving his defenses to the sand iron rings to storm.

clogging intermission. Approaching the distance of their fists, the two rolled out each other's fists and swords. Layer's sword cuts into Dart's sand iron, but it doesn't even cut it. With Shempez, winning with strength is as the layers assumed, but it was difficult to make both decisions to vary to thickness.

Dart's fists, on the other hand, are all transferred to the layers. Sure, Dirt's fistfights were excellent, but not as good as he could be with the speed of the layer's reaction. We remained short of each other's decision-makers, but there was still room for Dart. I still have a pretty good advantage in pre-reading. Layer gradually suffered a hand injury and didn't doubt that he would prevail enough to move on. The advantage swayed when my forehead was slashed shallow. Dart's complexion changed for the first time to a completely unexpected layer of motion without flying behind him. Walled sand iron blocks the way before layers trying to chase them.

At a distance away again, Dart remembered for the first time a threat to the boy in front of him. When has it been the first time in a one-on-one battle that an opponent has flesh-compelled himself in the middle of a battle? At the very least, it would be to the point of counting with one hand, other than one of my companions. But they are all opponents who were expected to struggle before the battle. I should have been able to predict some results, but this was the first time this had happened during the battle. Dart had inadvertently cast doubt on the layer, even during the battle.

"Kid, what did you do? How can you break through my defense?

"... nothing"

"Lie to me! I've never heard of a guy who gets stronger in the middle of a fight! You, would have done something!?

"There's no way I'm going to tell you what I did. This is a life exchange. You, do you mistake the battle for a means to satisfy your own desires?

"Ugh, guh."

A dart that is said to be full of itself and stuck in words. But what surprised me was that the layers were the same. In the midst of an earlier temptation, a sword ran to be led. Avoid this attack, put your sword out here, and you won't be defended. When I put out my sword to be guided by those readings, I hit them. However, the layer didn't know why. Would this be the feeling of pre-reading that Dart spoke of earlier?

"(Shempez, did you do something?

"(No, I didn't do anything. At best, I've given you information about their fistfights. The opponent's fist fighting technique is above and below, and there is no skill in throwing. It's based on textbooks that have long been widely passed on to the continent, and it's almost the same. His basic way of fighting is naive, but that defense is creative. Probably an autonomous (automation) defensive witchcraft that uniquely combines witchcraft. I guess they work together to automatically eliminate those who approach them. Otherwise, there's no way I can react to a throw from behind.)"

"(Impossible to break through?

"(Didn't you break through already? But yeah... being autonomous means you can't take anything but a determined action. Breakthroughs are bound to be something)"

"(For example?

"(It moves at a rate that I can't keep up with that sorcery process, or something)"

"(Faster than that reaction... that's not human business. There are seven wheels, but you can increase them depending on the situation. Think of an attack that would react seven at the same time... no, wait. Than that...)"

Layer had one way of coming up with it. I don't know much about witchcraft, but it was worth a try. Layer began to twirl and circle around the dart with his sword. Dart also moves slightly to face the layer again.

And where Dart was closest to the building wall, layers stepped in at once.
