“Oi, take it easy!”
“I can’t stand it!! If you hit me with that, I’ll die with a single blow from my defenses!”
“Then die!”
“That’s a no!”
I repeatedly attacked and defended, dodging the demon’s attacks and counterattacking with [Magic Arrow], but the situation never got any better.
“Oh, dangerous!”
I desperately tried to use my head while evading and intercepting the devil bat’s attack, which was created from a black sphere made of the demon’s black haze.
I’m going to lose if I don’t do something.
Fortunately, even the demon altered though her body a little, it was still Rina’s body, so her attack power, defense, and agility were not that high.
For now, I can avoid them, but it doesn’t seem like that will last forever.
But.
“Huh.”
I’m not sure how much longer I could do this.
“I’m bored.”
The demon, which had been just barely holding back my attacks, suddenly stops moving when I start to run out of breath.
Then it sighs as if it has had enough.
“What?”
“I said I’m bored. It’s boring if I don’t get much of a response. Besides, no matter how many times I attack you, you can avoid it, and vice versa. It’s meaningless if your attacks don’t hit the target, right? That’s why …….”The demon said that and pointed her hands toward me.
At that moment, the black sphere again grew larger and larger from the demon’s palms, and when it eventually became about the size of a basketball, the black sphere left the demon’s palms and slowly floated away from them and came toward me.
Well, I could have avoided this much with a little time to spare.
“[Greed]”
But I couldn’t.
I tried to avoid the black sphere, but it was so slow that I wondered if my body wasn’t mine.
“……!!!!!!!”
I can’t avoid it with this. ……!
The moment I made that decision, I created a [Magic Light Arrow] as a shield to block the black sphere.
“Agh……!”
However, my body was blown away along with the [Magic Light Arrow] and slammed into the ground.
“What the ……?”
I thought I had a good defense, but did I take damage that caused severe pain even if I didn’t move all over my body?
What happened? I thought the demon said [Greed], and my body slowed down.
Then I heard the demon’s voice approaching my ears before I knew it, surprised by the sudden event.
“Greed …… is the power to take anything I want. I’m not that used to my current body, so I can only temporarily take away your status, but it’s a power that can be very effective if I use it at the right time, like before.”
What’s with that busted skill ……!
But that’s what you mean.
I didn’t notice the demon approaching because my agility status was down, while the demon was faster because of the agility status she took away from me.
“I thought I wanted your ‘speed’ earlier, but the Greed effect has already worn off…”
I move my arm to check, but I don’t feel my body slowing down as I did earlier.
If that’s the case, then!!!!
“Bad Rina! Magic Light Arrow!!!!!!!!”
She’s Bad Rina or rather Rina’s body, but now my priority is to stay alive and wait for the reinforcements to come.
I didn’t want to hurt Rina’s body as much as possible, but if this happen, I don’t have a choice.
Worst case scenario, as long as she’s alive, I can use potions or [Recovery Magic] to heal her wounds.
“Haaaaaaaaaaah!!!!!!!”
Barely, but my body still moves.
Gripping the [Magic Light Arrow] in one hand, I hurl it at the demon in a spear-throwing manner.
“Kya!!!!!!!”
The demon that got hit head-on by my [Magic Light Arrow] was blown up to the boss’s room wall on the opposite side.
But she created a black sphere to cushion it in that split second, so I guess I can’t expect that much damage.
But.
“That’s plenty of time to recover ……!”
Now that I’ve got some distance from the demon, I got just enough time to recover from the damage I took.
I took out five potions from the [Item Box], drank two at once, and poured three over my body.
“Gghh……!”
I looked at my status and saw that my current HP was 14650, and I had lost more than half of it with her past blow.
And now that damage was gradually recovering.
At more than half of the total HP, this is not a full recovery, but it is still enough to recover.
“However, what to do from here ……”
The difficulty of buying time is also increased when she has such a busted skill to take away my status.
If that’s the case, then.
“All I have to do is beat her.”
But then it’s how to beat her.
That’s why, while I’m still at a distance from the demon, I allocate the SP I didn’t have time to allocate after being told that Rina was kidnapped to the [Lock-On] skill.
[Magic Arrow] can be shot continuously, but it lacks power. On the other hand, [Magic Light Arrow] is powerful, but it can’t be fired in rapid succession, so she’s easily blocked it.
Both have enough potential to disable demons from fighting, but both are missing a move.
“It’s all or nothing ……. I’m begging you. Lord God, Lord Buddha, Lord Lock-On Skill, …….”
I muttered as I prayed, opening my status and shifting SP to the [Lock-On] skill to raise the skill level from 18 to 20.
My current skills and weapons won’t be enough to neutralize the demon.
So I need a move powerful enough to stop the demon.
That’s exactly what I’m looking for, a move with tremendous power like nothing I’ve ever seen before.
“Please ……!!!!”
Well, it’s terrible to ask for power in the [Lock-On] skill, but now the [Lock-On] skill has a skill level that is a multiple of 10, so it has a powerful effect.
“Okay! This will do!!!!”
Now, all I have to do is use this skill to neutralize the demon.
“Come on! Let’s do it!!!!”
