I avoided the biting power of the approaching wyvern and crossed my arms to defend against the swinging tail attack that had overwhelming power.
For a moment the air escaped from my lungs as I crashed into the wall of the boundary made by [Replay Mode], but I fired a series of light bullets in order to manage to evade the wyvernâs pursuit, and used stealing magic to replenish my magic power while restraining it.
âUgh! I canât lose to you!â
âCome on, onigiri man! That guy has not even strong enough to fly, heâs almost out breath!â
âI know!â
Even though I wonât die within the boundary, thereâs not much energy left to maintain the holy sword as my body becomes scarred and my consciousness flies apart.
But the same goes for the other side.
Although being forced to this point by a wyvern thatâs not even dragon is quite unpleasant, itâs a great improvement from when my head was bitten without being able to fight back.
Be confident, I can do this.
I bet everything I had on the final blow, giving the Holy Sword maximum magical power.
Then, the approaching wyvernâs fangs and my holy sword collided with each other from the front, bursting sparks everywhere.
If this was not a fang but a scaled body surface, it would have penetrated, but unfortunately the hardest fang in the wyvern cannot be pierced by a single blow.
However, as time passed, the Holy Swordâs attack power was slowly overpowering the opponent.
âOra ora ora ora ora!!!!!!!â
âROAAAAAAAR!!!â
Then as if to make an end, I pushed the holy sword that had absorbed magic to its limit.
Thus, the wyvern fangs that finally had the limit of durability were crushed off with a crunching sound, and the holy sword went right through its head.
The lifeless wyvern projection directly turned into light powder and disappeared, and the boundary was lifted.
Of course, my stamina was restored as well.
âOh yeaahh! After six bitter attempts, I win! Suck it up and watch it happen, Wyvern!â
âWoaah! You finally made it! Congratulations!â
One Tailed and I were so happy that we ran forward for a high five.
Yes, no need to hide it. This wyvern battle is already the 6th recurring battle.
The first battle was killed by the poison from the wyvernâs tail.
The second battle was crushed by the wyvernâs full body impact.
The third battle was being bitten by the wyvern, which was truly horrible.
However, over the course of multiple challenges, the levels gradually increased, and by gaining a better understanding of the opponentâs action patterns, I finally won in battle 6.
As a side note, the rate at which the experience level rises in replay battles is extremely slow.
However, itâs more efficient than normal hunting since you can fight strong enemies over and over again without risking your life.
The âs level has risen by 2 levels to level 6 in just 6 battles.
Incidentally, I seems to have learned a new skill called âMagic Transferâ at level 6.
The usage is still limited and is a subtle skill.
The is really depressed âŠâŠ.
âAs expected of a man who recognized by me, youâre really persevering. If Iâm attacked by that monster, Iâll surrender within two seconds. Even if I know I wonât die.â
âWell, thatâs probably the case.â
Itâs not a good thing to say, but One-Tailed doesnât have any perseverance.
Letâs just say, in order to actually master One-Tailedâs power, I tried to get her to join the wyvern battle, and she cried out to me in 2 seconds.
Because it looked so pathetic, I immediately canceled the replay modeâŠ.
That being said, that way thereâs no way to know One-Tailedâs power, so I tried to get her to fight the past projections of Mizzet and Kuroko-san, and it was tough, but she won by a slim margin.
Even with the traumatic Onmyouji as her opponent, she would not die, I said so, and then she worked hard to avenge the hatred for many years.
âBut this room is really strange. Physically the enemies are real, not just illusions. Even if they are about to die, they will recover immediately after the battle. What is going on?â
âI donât know about that either.â
âItâs obviously Misterâs power? Even if you tell me so.â
âWell, for the time being, letâs take a break.â
Iâm not physically tired, but Iâm mentally tired.
The next step is Creation Mode. Also, to improve One-Tailed fighting ability, letâs summon a weak enemy for exercise.
âŠâŠ Well, the only enemy that One-Tailed seems to be able to defeat without being scared is a bunch of horn rabbits.
Itâs a good way to test whether a yokai can get an occupation, and if they canât, it will be good way to give her confidence to overcome her fear.
Letâs try it right now.
âThen, itâs your turnâŠâ
âHuh?â
âYeah. If youâre going to travel with me, you should at least get some exercise, otherwise the danger will always be with you. If you donât want to die, Itâs best to train.â
âEh, Eh~âŠâŠ.I canât help it, I donât want to die after all.â
One-Tailed didnât think that she would have to fight, but after getting the information about the dangers ahead of her, she agreed to do so, albeit reluctantly.
Well, although it was understood from One-Tailedâs character that she didnât like fighting, but that was the only thing that really couldnât be helped.
After all, unlike back in Mizzetâs time, One-Tailed doesnât have an identity or parents that she can depend from.
At least I hope she has the strength to run away and hide if Iâm caught in the middle of a near-death situation.
âWell, donât worry, Iâll find an opponent that matches your abilities, so it will be fine.â
âIs that so? Thatâs relief.â
Plus, Iâm going to start making One-Tailedâs equipment in creation mode from now on.
I donât know exactly what I can create, but the alchemists that Iâve been training since my first day in the another world have already reached a considerable level.
My alchemistâs level is high enough that Iâm not ashamed to be a C-ranked adventurer, so Iâm sure I can make a lot of things.
Therefore, I decided to summon a bunch of rabbits in replay mode, throw One-Tailed in, and focus on creating.
