To Save My Favourite Character, I Decided To Destroy the Game’s Plot - CH 24

Chapter 24 . duel’s outcome .

Lucy was too cautious of feints to attack, and I was sure to lose if I attacked.

This state of mind creates stagnation, and the speed of the battle becomes slow.

A world that slows down. Therefore, I can see the skill of the genius.

lucy, who is showing me a stance mixed with many hints, shoots a sword at me to see what I’ll do.

The sword of a girl of the same build, not much faster than I am, blows me away once again.

This time, I see it!

The reason for the power of the sword, which was not matched by my physique, was in the way I used my body.

She stepped on the ground with all her might and put the force generated by her step on the sword.

The reason why the series of movements appear to be abnormally fast is because she is de-energized right up until the end of the movement.

The sudden acceleration may have caused a bug in the perception of the speed, making it appear faster than it actually is.

Ha, once I see it, it’s nothing.

If the attack starts with a push…

——

Lucy again showed an attacking posture, but her foot slows down.

The reason is that I preempted the standing position and blocked the direction of movement, thereby destroying the option of stepping in.

In the midst of battle, it is not acceptable to move one’s feet anywhere, back and forth, left or right. Whether offensive or defensive, line of sight, center of gravity, how the sword is held—the direction of travel is limited depending on those conditions.

The rest depends on what is best for the situation at the time, and if one thinks about it, the answer will appear naturally.

Now I must thank Nicolas.

The thinking he has shown me, the daily reading, makes all this forethought possible.

I am being bitten by the genius of the battle with my thinking.

However, it is only biting.

Depending on the mood of the genius, the situation could be five minutes or even worse.

If it’s “——, win.”

If I can’t make a strong push, then Lucy will not hesitate to come in close to me.

And then a storm of attacks burst forth in an indifferent breath.

Swords, fists, grabbing hands, and kicks exploded at close range.

They were not strong attacks, but if a fighter took a bite, he would be frightened, and would be knocked down from that point on.

Even with feints, anticipation, and all that, the attack is so dominant that if one does not focus on defense, he or she will be immediately choked out.

Indeed, She is a formidable opponent.

While I”m destroying his strengths one by one, She shows me another move one after another.

“Gosh.”

“I’m strong even if I don’t put any effort into it.”

‘I know!”

I just barely evade a sword swinging down at me and spear the gap after the attack.

A technique that I have been honing with my blood for the past week. I’m hoping this one works like a stone, but…

“I hope it does.”

I neither receive nor dodge, but am completely blindsided, and the spear is grabbed from me.

I gave up attacking at that point and pulled back the spear with both hands, but the spear didn’t even twitch against Lucy, who was holding it with one hand.

On top of that, the spear was still in my hands.

“What?”

The spear was thrust in the direction I was pulling it, and I was knocked out of my position. In a panic, Lucy tried to regain her footing, but it was not an opponent who would let that opportunity pass.

She was struck in the side of the head with the stomach of the sword, which was swung out with a ferocious force, and her consciousness almost jumped for a moment.

“Gah!”

“—— can’t win anymore. You getting used to feints now.”

“Screw it.”

“Well, you want to try it?”

Lucy, who had moved into spear range with such ease, I launched my spear at her, mixing in several feints.

This time, even the spear was just bait.

If Lucy is distracted by the spear, I’ll let go and give her a good shot!

—–“- I don’t care about the handle. And the spear, you don’t really mean it? Maybe you’re going to hit me?”

‘No way!”

The spear is slowed down by the upset of being detected. The other day, I was in the middle of a crowd of people who were all looking at me.

“Is there no more ——?”

If not, it’s over, Lucy’s eyes told me.

“Ha ha.”

Once I show any kind of ingenuity, it will be dealt with, and if I challenge her to a contest of plain competence, I will never be able to win due to the difference in our talents.

No, I thought I knew that, but it’s more than I imagined.

I can’t reach her now.

And in the future, I will be even farther behind him.

Well, , really…I’m glad I did it now.

Ten years from now, I wouldn’t have had a chance to win even if the world were turned on its head.

It’s because I’m not fully developed yet that there are still gaps to take advantage of.

I wasn’t sure if I could win, but I was convinced by the current attack and defense.

At this point, even I can win, depending on how I handle it.

—Next time, it’s all over.

“Don’t worry, there’s more.”

“I can make it —–.”

Lucy, with a blank expression on her face, makes her first thrust today. I don’t have any ingenuity in my approach, probably because I’m so much better than she is that I don’t need it.

In fact, I’ve been on the losing end up to this point.

“Ggh.”

“——, I’ve seen that one already.”

The spear, mixed with feints, was easily spotted, and a sword was used to pinpoint my main attack, which was hidden in the back of the room.

Then, as if popping from there, the sword was released in a backhanded manner and came close to putting an end to me… I was waiting for this…

“I’ve been waiting for this!’

——

The sword that split the wind and approached me, I did not avoid it, but advanced forward and caught it with my body.

The pain is so great that I literally feel like I’m going to faint, but by moving forward and shifting the point of impact, I avoid the timing where the most power is applied.

So, this does not knock me out.

“Gah!”

And just like that, using even the momentum of my advance, I slammed the spear into Lucy’s leg.

Let the flesh cut the bone.

The timing was perfect, and this time Lucy’s body was hit.

“Ugh!”

Lucy stands protecting her leg that was hit by the spear. She feels like dying of guilt for violating the girl, but she suppresses it for now and fights on.

“Not enough, ”

While enduring the pain, she attacks without pause.

If she was going to win, it would have to be here. Now is the only time to win, now that he has destroyed the source of his power, his legs!

“—–But…”

Oh, that’s right. But still.

Even after all this, Lucy is still stronger than me.

But I’ve come this far, and I’ve won.

I’m not a genius, but Lucy is only six years old.

I know that if I’m pushed into a corner, I’ll lose my composure and start to get impatient.

In fact, the feint that had been missed just a moment ago is coming through.

She is narrowing her vision due to pain and impatience.

I’m still going for it!

Here, she increased the number of her feints.

“—— what, ?”

Lucy’s eyes widened.

Lucy’s eyes, which until now had shown no emotion at all, like a dead fish’s, now wavered in question.

“Like this , right ”

Finally, Lucy showed a big fluctuation.

Then I thrust the spear with all her might into her.

This spear, this flash of light, I will put everything I have into it.

Up until this moment, I had been fighting with the same level of strength I had shown Lucy in training.

But this strike was different. It was the best shot I’ ve ever had, the one I’ ve been working on for a full week until midnight, and the one that I’ ve been refining since training.

Even that would not normally have worked against the genius in front of him.

But in this situation, where I disturbed her with my feint, took away away his legs, made her lose her cool, and misled her about my abilities, I could reach her.

——“gu, ugh.”

With a solid response, the flash knocked Lucy down.

Five seconds, ten seconds. No matter how long I waited, Lucy did not get up.

She was completely stunned.

I had won.

“You see, Saraswati? Now…”

I turned to Saraswathi, who was probably watching the duel from behind, and for some reason I fell to the ground.

“Huh?”

I felt a crazy pain all over my body after a delay, and I thought, “Oh, I think I’ve been badly injured,” and I looked at Saraswathi’s face.

Before I could look Saraswati in the face, I passed out
