Chapter 99 – Survival Battle 4

“Hey! Huh! Hey!”

“Hmm?”

“Water arrow!”

“Hmmm?”

Instead of using the Spirit Magic that she can’t use, Elilia used a good combination of rapier and regular magic. It’s the rapier when she’s close, and it’s magic when she’s a little far away, and the combination is really good. But …

Kakin!

“What…?”

I popped off Elilia’s rapier. I was very surprised by Elilia’s spirit magic. I even wished I could use it as well as she did but, other than spirit magic, she was weak. If it wasn’t for the spirit magic, the other members of our country’s delegation besides me, Sophie and Shana would be able to fight evenly on their own.

“Ha!”

Then I slashed Elila, who had lost her rapier, and sent her out of the venue.

“It’s done!”

“Copy that!”

At that time, I told Sophie that the operation was completed through the magic tool and I took the elf’s ball as per the plan. I was going to run to place the ball on our pedestal, but that didn’t happen.

“Where do you think you’re going…?”

It would have been nice if Becua had stayed out of the way.

“I have a lot to do”

“That’s awkward.…”

Becua and Gladden appeared just as I took the ball. I’m not sure how much damage they’ve taken, but I’m sure they’re well enough to fight me.

“Because of Zero’s bluff, all the other balls are on your pedestal.”

I assume they know that the balls were aligned because of the transmitter. And the bluff that Becua is referring to is that I grabbed the magic tool and called for help. Actually, I didn’t call for help at that time, I just grabbed the magic tool and shouted. The strategy we changed this time was to gather all the strong ones towards me, while Sophie and Shana quickly get the other two balls. If I can bring back the elf ball as planned, we will win.

“So why don’t we just go and get the balls?”

“If he doesn’t take the ball there, the survival battle is not over yet.”

“Besides, the ones who managed to survive are attacking your campsite, so no one would be able to help you.”

“Huh…”

To be honest, I thought these guys were brainless or even dumber. So I thought it would be easy to bring back the elven ball if I could just get the elves out of the way.

“Two against one, wouldn’t you call that cowardly?”

“I wouldn’t call it cowardly because it’s a survival battle. That’s the strategy.”

“Good for you!”

As soon as I said that, Becua and Gladden both came at me, ready to kill. I’m not saying it’s cowardly, but I didn’t want these two to team up with me.

“Bee!”

I got a little distance between us, bought some time, and sent a code that Sophie could understand. I had thought there was no point in using a code if she could contact me without saying it out loud, but Sophie had probably prepared the code to keep the communication short, assuming that a moment of carelessness could be fatal.

“Ice armor!”

“Fire enchantment!”

I attacked Becua, who was heading towards me first with two swords. It would be impossible to fight these two without a double enchantment. It’s not a time to slack off.

“I got you…”

“What the…?”

Becua caught and grabbed my swords with no guard. I swung my swords with the intention of cutting Becua in half with his ice armor. However, the armor was harder than before. If it was just as hard as it was before, I could have cut it in half.

“Hmph!”

“Damn it!”

Then Gladden swung his hammer at me. The swords didn’t move at all, no matter how hard I pushed or pulled. It was the first time today that my crisis sense had reacted to danger. So I let go of the sword and avoided the hammer.

Boom!

“What?”

“Pfft!” Hey, come on! You got dirt in my mouth!”

“Sorry, sorry.”

Gladden’s hammer exploded when it hit the ground. It even made a crater in the ground. And Becua seems to have been undamaged even though it exploded nearby, probably because of the ice armor. These two people are compatible … I’m not sure if it was the hammer’s performance or Gladden’s skill, but either way, even if I had guarded it with magic, it would have crushed me.

“It didn’t hit you, but… you let go of your sword, didn’t you?”

Becua said with a grin and threw my sword away.

“Can you take us on without your sword?”

I hurriedly looked overhead to see if there was anything I could use to replace the sword. But there was nothing around due to the tsunami. I thought about using magic to create one, but that would probably end up being shattered immediately.

“Show me how much you can do!”

And then Becua and Gladden came at me, sandwiching me between them.
