“However, in this world, it’s not like you could only fight because you are enemies.”
“Like with me. If I just wanted to test your abilities, and not to make your my foe, then don’t you think that by itself is already enough of a reason to deal with you?”
With those words, a pitch black whirlwind like magical power rose up.
That magic power created a tempest about her, blowing in all directions, shaking the surrounding trees along with the accompanying noises. Leaves were also blown in all directions.
Shien tensed and drew his weapon without hesitation.
The drawn weapon was not the Holy Sword, but the broadsword that Shien had hanging on his waist.
In the next second…
“Boom!”
The magic power emitted from Leisha turned into gravity, and like a field, smashed down on the surrounding, and also smashed down onto Shien at the same time.
In an instant, the leaves flying about in the air were all slammed down into the ground. The surrounding foliage were also crushed by an unseen force, creating countless creaking noises, with some even having broken.
Shien also felt his entire body being pressed down on by an unbelievable weight, pushing him towards the ground.
If nothing unexpected happened, this gravity should have been enough to smash him into the ground.
However, it’s unknown if it was [Magic Resistance] or [Abnormal Status Resistance] that activated, so as the weight upon Shien tried to press him down, it suddenly became much weaker.
“Eh?”
As she saw that, Leisha made a surprised noise.
“To have resisted my gravity magic without even using the Holy Sword?”
Leisha had never even considered that.
Unfortunately, this bit of unexpectedness had made it too late.
“Evolve!”
Shien used the moment that the gravity turned weak to decisively activate his [Limit Evolution] skill.
In an instant, magic power flowed through his body and drastically increased Shien’s strength.
“Bang!”
Thus, Shien cracked the ground with his footstep with a bang and, while moving against the gravity, shot towards where Leisha was like a rocket.
Since his opponent had already acted, then there’s no need for any hesitation on his side either.
This is Shien’s great adaptability and decisiveness, and the fierceness learned from those ten days in the forest.
Seeing that, Leisha felt joy rather than anger.
“Things have started to become more interesting now.”
