Chapter 100: Survival Battle 5

"Gaha. ......"

I was hit by Becua and blown away. It had only been about ten minutes since I let go of my sword. But I've already been punched and kicked by Becua more than double digits. I definitely need to avoid Gladden's hammer, which would end my life if I take even one hit, which makes Becua's attack unavoidable in terms of timing

"Ha!"

"It doesn’t work...."

"Damn it!"

And Becua doesn't try to avoid my attacks at all. He doesn't even defend himself with magic. But even so, the armor is only slightly cracked and undamaged. And those cracks are quickly repaired. At first I thought the ice armor was magic, but to make armor this precise with magic, you'd have to be at least as good at magic as Sophie. I'd like to copy him, but with my skills I'm sure I'd have to cover my joints and be unable to move. So maybe this isn't magic at all. But if that's the case, what the hell is this?

"Huh...huh..."

This is not the time to be thinking about what Becua's ice armor is. This is bad...I probably have a cracked bone somewhere. I'm in a state of excitement right now, so I don't feel much pain, but my movements are starting to slow down.

"Zero...what are you hiding?"

"What are you talking about?"

"You're in a desperate situation, but your eyes aren't dead... what are you up to?"

"Well of course ... I’m thinking of how to win."

"Do you think you can outrun us both and bring that ball home?"

"I'm sure."

"Oh.'

"Hmmm. ......"

I sent the code to Sophie to win. And according to the magic detection, Sophie will be finished with her preparations soon. To be honest, these two people are not magic specialists, so things went well so far. If the elves were here, it would have been a failure.

"Zero niisama ... I'm done"

"Haha. ......"

"What are you laughing at?"

The strategy was proceeding as I had expected, so I was a bit excited. But the mission isn’t over yet. We have to keep our heads up.

"You guys, look up."

"What...?"

"Hmm...?"

Normally, they wouldn't accept such an invitation and look up honestly. However, there was something on the top that even these two people who were ignorant of magic could feel, so they looked straight up.

"The three of us will go out with a bang!"

"Zerooo! You!"

"So that's it..."

And as they looked up, hundreds of lightning spears appeared and rained down on the ground. It's not that they're all falling down, but they're coming towards us.

"Damn it!"

"This is... impossible."

The two of them hurried away from me to get away from the lightning. I'm sure that even Becua would not be able to knock out this amount of lightning.

"Light enchantment!"

Then I changed my fire enchantment to a light enchantment, making it a double enchantment of lightning and light for speed, and started running towards my comrades.

"Ah!"

"Hmm!"

And when Becua and Gladden saw this, they rushed to chase after me, but stopped when they saw all the lightning heading in my direction. I'm sure they thought I wouldn't survive in this lightning.

"What?

"This... this is fucked up."

But all of that lightning is absorbed by me when it hits me, I'm unharmed. I don’t think they'll be able to catch up with me now that I'm at top speed, and there's a lot of lightning near me.

"What the hell is that?"

And as my comrades got closer, the people who were attacking to get our ball started to panic when they saw me running while being hit by lightning. And they rushed away to avoid being hit by the lightning. Lightning magic is rare, so no one would have any resistance to it. So, if it hits you near the end of the battle, you'll be out in one fell swoop.

"Release."

The people on our team knew the plan, so they didn't run away. But, if I continued to run, there’s a possibility that they’ll be hit by lightning. So with Sophie's signal, all the lightning disappeared. But since I was only a few feet away from the pedestal, there was nothing anyone could do to stop me. I placed the elf ball on the pedestal.

"The battle is over! First place in the survival match! Kingdom of Lingalia!"

"We did it!"

"Haha...haha ......"

I lay down to fall as I listened to the announcement and the joy of my friends.

"Good job..."

"Oh...oh..."

And when I fell down, Shana, who was sitting upright in the place where I fell down, gave me a knee pillow.

"Zero niisama, thank you for your hard work."

"Good job, Sophie, Shana."

It didn't quite go according to our original plan, but we managed to win.

"Now, please come out of the stage if you’re still inside."

"... let's go..."

"Yes."

"Nn..."

After settling down, my body began to ache in many places and I wanted to get out of this stage as soon as possible to heal my wounds. But even if the wound is healed, the stamina consumed will not be healed. I can't wait to get off the stage and rest.

"Hey! Zero!"

"Becua..."

As I started to walk off the stage, someone called out to me from behind and squared his shoulders. I wondered if Becua had taken a liking to me.

"We've lost the survival battle. It's the first time I've ever been beaten by someone my own age."

"Thanks for that."

"It's just..."

I was surprised to hear him admit defeat, despite his playfulness. And now he suddenly started talking in a serious tone in my ear.

"If that's even close to your best then you'll never beat me in the main tournament."

"What?"

"I can't lose to you in the main tournament so I'm going to be serious, be prepared."

With that said, Becua went off the stage. What is could he be hiding other than that ice armor ...?

"Zero niisama?"

"Sorry, I'm coming."

Sophie called out to me as I suddenly stopped. In order not to let them know that something was wrong, I pretended to be normal and left the stage with Sophie and the others. To be honest, I didn't use any spirit magic, but that was almost all I could do. And not to be greedy but I don't want to use spirit magic in front of the elves. if I used spirit magic, would I be able to defeat Becua...?
