Hard Work Will Never Betray Me - CH 83

“Impact bullet!”

The battle began suddenly, and as the level of S-rank, opennet  victory and defeat is determined by the few tenths of a second. The opponent was a demon. There is a possibility that he is stronger than me. If so, I needed to attack first with the fastest skill I have.

And speaking of me, I am known for my single [shock]. I managed to detect the slightest movement of muscles before the demon made a move, so I hit him with my number “shock bullet”

“Mwah, this is quite a good skill.”

“Tsk.”

……It was avoided naturally by him ……, but still succeeded in breaking his body posture. And although both “Gust Wind” and “Impact Bullet” were avoided, it can be paradoxically taken as “if it hits, it will cause damage that cannot be ignored”. It would be frightening if it was a trick to mislead people into thinking that way, but I am also an high level mage . I. Objectively considering my fighting ability, I judged that there is no high probability that my opponent is strong enough to fight a with me .

Well, in short, it is hard to believe that he is a real monster that cannot be attacked. Then all that remained was to go on the offensive!

“I am not done yet!”

I throw several special knives with traps from the pouch on my waist.

I activated –‘Binding Lasso Bakujou’!　Followed by the ‘Magic Thread Blade Wire Blade’!

“Dammit, ……!”

The knives were thrown at high speed, emitting a shockwave. The knife itself was avoided, but that was not my goal.

The magic energy wire that came out of the knife entangles the demon and binds his movement in a split second. But the trick did not end there. I had mastered this “shibari nawa bakujou” several years ago. This technique has evolved even further. The magic rope wire itself is a weapon.

“……!”

The demon’s arms and legs are cut off, and he lies on the ground in a weakened state.

Yes, it was this “Thread Blade Wire Blade” that evolved into the special technique always cut the bound opponent by releasing a minuscule shockwave from the magic wire and destroying the molecular structure of the target.

The ” Wire Blade” had evolved into the “Demon’s Wire Blade,” a special technique that always cuts through the target it is bound to.

“Gaaaahh!”

The demon, who had seemed so intelligent until a moment ago, became enraged and began to scream.

The “I’m poor state !　Impact bullet!

The Demon jumped back with terrible patience and reflexes, and managed to avoid it .

“I never thought I would be attacked so one-sidedly.”

The demon was standing up and turning his shoulders and ankles as if to check the feel of his arms and legs.

He regenerated in an instant. ……

The problem is the uncommonly fast recovery speed that this human does not have. But there is no such thing as groundless strength. There must be a reason and a cause for everything. Then, what exactly is the mechanism that holds this super recovery in motion?

“The answer is: “Humans are not capable of such a tremendous recovery,” he replied. Humans are pathetic creatures who die from injuries alone.”

“You’ re like a sea cucumber. It’s disgusting.”

Or a planarian. Either way, I have a feeling that the regenerative power of the lower life forms is higher.

“Shut up!　Don’t you human-like creatures mock me!”

I just found out in a moment’s intersection with —- that I’m stronger than him.

Maybe he realizes this too. I can feel that he has lost the composure that he had earlier.

If his super-healing ability is lost, his chance to win wil be lost at once

I then pull out my magic sword, Raikiri, and take a middle stance. The law of mass preservation is in effect in this world as well. He had just had his limbs amputated, but he seemed to be recovering by forcibly expending his magical power. Even with his seemingly infinite super recovery, it must be quite a burden for him to keep losing parts of his body. The swordsmanship of the Hokusho Bujinryu and the cutting power of the Raikiri. I”ll let you taste it for sure.

“How dare you!

The demon converges magic power in both hands and releases a magic bullet in the form of an energy projectile. It’s like my “shock bullet,” but it’s a bad move. The “shock bullet” is my specialty. Naturally, I’ve researched how to counter it. That skill, which is similar in concept, will not work on me!

“–‘Running Water’.”

“It’s a skill in which you let nature take its natural course and slice through the attack like water flowing through the air. The magic bullets released by the demon slashed through the air without any resistance.

“Hey, ……!

Kamaitachi i!”

Next is the “Kamaitachi,” a medium-range strike that cloaks the blade in [impact] magic and releases a sharp blade-shaped and making shockwave as soon as it is swunged down f

“What the ”

Lastly, the shockwave is emitted from the sole of the foot and moves at high speed, and the demon damaged by “Kamaitachi” is followed up by a wild slash with “Hanabi”, which cuts his entire body into pieces!

The demon man’s head, chin, shoulders, arms, wrists, chest, abdomen, waist, thighs, and legs – he is cut to pieces aand blown apart. His lungs and vocal cords are separated, so he can no longer scream.

‘…… not yet!’

Even though he is in disarray, he could regenerate with super recovery as if he remains as he is. So I will screw them over with overwhelming force , with the vigor to leave no bones unturned.

The “Convergence Shock Droplet” is a skill that increases power by converging in shockwaves that would normally spread out and narrowing the attack range. With this, I will crush his entire body!

“Converging Shock Bullets!”

-“-Gyuuooooooooooooooooooo!”

Unlike ordinary shock bullet the “Converging Impact Bullets” explode with a roaring sound as if being sucked in. The impact on the surroundings, which is surprisingly small for its power, subsides, and the dust and smoke gradually clears as it flows into the wind.

As if scooped up with a bowl, a sinkhole several meters in size opens up deep into the ground.

“…..What the hell is that?”

I descended to the bottom of the hole, wary. As I cautiously approached and picked it up, ready to strike at any moment, its true nature became clear.

” Magic stone?”

What had fallen instead of a demon man was a demon stone. I had not defeated a monster, so how could it be a magic stone?

I was not sure if it was a demon or a human being. Maybe a demon is the form of a human turned into a demon?

There are no more demons to answer me (and even if there were, I doubt they would have answered me!) ). But if I go back to the Special Division and ask it to investigate, I should be able to find out a lot of things.

The magic stone glows faintly red, but it is no different from the magic stones of other monsters. I don’t feel any evil or vibrations, and it really seems that the demon from earlier is dead.

It’s …… beautiful when you look at it like this.”

I was such a jerk. I don’t blame myself for not thinking it’s beautiful.

Anyway, I have to report quickly about the demon that I had flighted

I rushed back to the slum, once again looking for any suspicious reactions around me .
