Chapter 319- The Power Difference

“Yug, Zeal, can I ask you a question? 』

“What’s wrong? 』

“What is it? 』

I talked to the two in me as I watched Shana and Carina fight the monsters and support Sophie and Elira in the barrier.

As we rested, night came quickly. And Shana is going to evolve fast as she enthusiastically faced the monsters.

“Do you think I can beat that Ryu  now, assuming we both have no magic power? 』

I asked them. Yug and Zeal had actually fought together when I encountered Ryu. I didn’t know what was going on and lost. I think Yug and Zeal know more about Ryu’s power than I do.

“That’s…”

“Zeal, I’ll tell him.”

Zeal was about to speak while being worried, but Yug stopped him.

“Keep in mind that it’s only my guess, so it’s not absolutely correct.”

“Oh.”

Yug said seriously, not in her usual cheerful way.

“Under those conditions, it’s almost impossible for you to beat Ryu. Even if you used that divine lightning bolt.”

“…… I see.”

I knew the answer somehow from Yug’s advice earlier.

“First of all, Zero-kun’s skills and techniques are being watched, so Ryu knows everything. On the other hand, we don’t even know what kind of attack methods Ryu has. This difference alone puts us at a significant disadvantage.”

The only information I know about Ryu is that he is strong enough to stun Emily, Tiya, and Judy, who are the top three strongest elves in the world, in an instant, even though they were in combat with Im.

The only thing that Ryu knows is that I even have a special move called the divine lightning bolt.

“I’m not even sure if Zero-kun would win in a one-on-one fight against Emily, Tiya, or Judy. Would you lose? That’s the level you’re at now? Do you understand now that you can’t win?”

“Oh…”

When I listen to Yug, I think there is no way I can win. I think it was a mistake to give Bequa a cheap shot at participating in the tournament.

“But this is just about killing each other, right? 』

“Eh? 』

Yug said in her usual cheerful tone.

“But you’re not allowed to kill each other at the tournament, right? 』

“Yeah. I don’t think so.”

I asked Carina briefly what the tournament was like, and she told me that there were no boundaries like in a school tournament, and that it would be a crime to intentionally kill someone. Even in the case of an accidental killing, the murderer would be disqualified.

“If that is the case, no matter how much power Ryu had to kill Zero, he wouldn’t be able to use it. Even if it was an accident, if he killed Zero-kun, wouldn’t he get into a big fight with that demon called Im?”

“Indeed…”

In case you’re wondering, there’s also a title and a demon king’s mate (tentative), and I’m sure there’s no way that Ryu would intentionally kill me in a tournament.

“As long as your opponent can’t go all out, there’s a good chance that even Zero-kun can win depending on how you fight.”

“I see…!”

That fighting method in question is also advised by Yug and Zeal in me along with Bros in Suiyami. I can get all the advice I want because I can’t use magic so I won’t have to use the three of them. …… Hmm? Ah!

“Hey Bros, if I don’t use devil possession, can I use that ability without magic? 』

That ability is the one that Bros preferentially seals the skills of the injured party, starting with the one that is used most frequently.

“Comrade, you finally realized it. 』

“So that means…? 』

“It works. 』

“Alright. 』

It can be used, although I have to try to use them every time I attack because I won’t do devil possession.

“Then I might have a chance to win.”

I was getting very excited because I knew I had a chance to win.

“Huh… I was a little depressed and lost… If Yug had told me at the beginning that I might have a chance to win in the tournament, I wouldn’t have had this feeling. 』

If Yug had told me at the beginning that I would have a chance to win if the situation was bound by the rules of the tournament, I wouldn’t have regretted saying that I would participate in the tournament.

“It’s your fault Zero-kun. You didn’t tell me the condition that if it’s a match. 』

“Ah. 』

Come to think of it, we both said no magic, but I didn’t say the condition that it would be a tournament. This is completely my mistake.

“And the odds of losing haven’t changed at all, even under the current circumstances, have they? Do you understand that? 』

“Don’t worry. I understand. 』

The difference in power hasn’t changed at all.

The only thing I can do now is to close the gap a little before the tournament.

“I’ll be relying a lot on Darki in the tournament, so I’ll be counting on you. 』

“I hope you get my permission to use the beastification before the tournament. 』

“Ah! Oh no! 』

That was it! I wasn’t allowed to use the beastification until I could fight in a way that would be approved by Darki! Somehow I had to get permission before I left here.

“I’ve reached max level!”

I was thinking about how to get Darki’s approval when I heard Shana exclaiming that.
