Chapter 238: Spiritualization
Clank!
Using Lightning Shrink, I came around behind Bequa and slashed at him, but my attack was blocked by Bequa’s ice and snow armor.
“You finally came at me! I’ve been waiting for you!”
Bequa looked happy that I had attacked him. I continued to attack, hoping to live up to his expectations.
“Haa…haa…. I knew I don’t stand a chance if you attacked.”
Bequa’s attacks didn’t hit, and I continued to attack. My attack was blocked by the ice and snow armor, so I didn’t receive any direct damage, but it was also gradually worn away and thinned out. If I keep doing the same thing, it will only be a matter of time before I win.
“Considering the way I’m going to beat you, this is still the safest way.”
Bequa said, and then he turned the ice and snow armor in both hands into a giant size. That’s how he caught me. It was so huge that there was nowhere to avoid it. I thought about forcibly breaking the armor to get out of it, but with only a little resistance, I was caught meekly. At this point, I switched all my Raiden enchantments to recovery enchantments. Bequa, who wasn’t familiar with magic, didn’t notice this change.

“I know that catching you is the most effective way to get you.”
My weakness is that if you catch me, there’s nothing I can do. If I can’t move, my God speed reflexes are useless. This has been proven by Sophie, Shana, and Elira. Especially Sophie’s spatial magic often caught me.
“This is just a match. Don’t feel bad.”
“Yes, of course.”
Then Bequa began to shrink the armor on his arms. When he got close to me, he threw a kick. Even if I unleash magic, Bequa can still hit me and make me disappear. So even if I use magic, I can’t guard against it.
“Spiritualization.”
“Eh?”
I was able to spiritualize. Thanks to Bros, I was able to do it so easily that I wondered what all the trouble I had just gone through was for. Then, a kick from Bequa slipped through my face and slipped through the arm that was holding me as well, and I was out of there. A “Picon! sounded in my brain, but I ignored it for now. Then, Bequa touched me. Actually, he slipped through my face, but he touched me while I was in the spiritualized state of Yug. If I had been in the spirit form of Zeal, he would have been damaged by the lightning at this time, but in the spirit form of Yug, there’s no damage at all. That doesn’t mean it is weak. In fact, I think it is close to the strongest.
“HP Robbery”
“Eh…..”
I said that and pointed my hand at Bequa, and he collapsed. And then, he immediately moved out of the scene. The first thing I did was, as the saying goes, take away HP. This was possible because of Bequa’s low magic defense. This was one of Yug’s abilities that I had heard about from Zeal just a little over a year ago, the day before the qualifying rounds for the garden competition began. I knew I could do it when I became a spirit.

“The match is over! Winner! Zeros Adolfo!”
Suddenly, the announcement came a little too late. The crowd was stunned, as if they didn’t know what had happened. Then I spotted Sophie in the audience. When Sophie’s eyes met mine, she smiled at me cutely. I honestly wanted to get out of the arena as soon as possible, because I feel like my head is being shaken to bits. I feel like I’m going to fall to my knees and throw up right now. But I can’t show any weakness in front of Sophie. I got off the stage without hesitation. As soon as I got off the stage, all the discomfort I felt up until now was gone.
“Zeros! What did you do to me?”
As soon as I got off the stage, Bequa came running up to me. He sounded angry, but he was smiling.
“It’s a secret.”
“Are you going to use that power again tomorrow?”
When I told him it was a secret, he looked disappointed. But he seemed somewhat convinced. It’s not like he was going to tell anyone. He just wanted to take a closer look in the audience and uncover what I had done, or so he asked me if I would use it again tomorrow.
“I hope I can use it.”
I replied to Bequa’s question. Maybe I won’t be able to use it. Sophie has no way of knowing, but considering her magical defense, it’d be difficult to rob her of HP. However, I think it’s possible to steal MP. But she isn’t so naive that she would let me use a one-hit-kill like that. If it was the first time, there might have been a possibility.
“Okay!”

I walked out of the arena. I wouldn’t watch Sophie’s match today. Or rather, I don’t have time to watch. As long as I’ve shown her spiritualization, she’ll definitely seal the use of spirits. Then I have to win with Bros and Darki.
“Where are you going after you leave the arena?”
“Eh?”
Suddenly, someone spoke to me from behind. I turned around to see who it was, and there was Elira.
“Are you going to do a special training now? Even after you did that with the Spirit King?”
Elira seemed to know what I had done. She was probably thinking in her own way and said that line in a whisper so that no one would hear it.
“I probably can’t beat Sophie with that.”
“Haa!….How much of a monster is your sister?”
Elira said in amazement. I think she’s pretty dangerous, even though she’s my sister.
“You’re leaving the capital, aren’t you? I’ll go with you.”
“Eh! No, it’s fine.”
“I’m done with my fight. I’m not going to fight anymore. And I’m not close to Sophia, so I’m not going to tell her about your powers.”
I don’t have a problem with Elira seeing what I’m about to do. I’m going to use it tomorrow anyway. It’s just a matter of whether she sees it today or tomorrow. But I can’t let her see it because I don’t know what’s going to happen.
“But…”
“I’ve already made up my mind to go with you. What if I get into trouble outside of the royal capital? I’ll tell them that I went out with you and got dumped.”
“That’s…”
If she says it like that, it’s like it’s my fault. Whatever the facts are….
“And you don’t know what’s going to happen to me if you keep me this far away from you, do you? Even if it’s you, it’s dangerous to be out there unprotected.”
“I’ve lost. You can go ahead and follow me.”
“You should have said so right from the start.”
And so I left the royal capital with Elira. Although I was persuaded by her, it was probably a good thing that she came along with me. Because I had no idea what would happen to me if I were to demonize or beastify Bros and Darki right after signing a contract with them, even though I was in such a state after spiritualization. However, I really need to be able to use Bros and Darki at least today.
