The moment the battle began, I activated the Thermal Distortion I’d prepared earlier.
Noticing this, the princess cast an ice spell.
By lowering the surrounding temperature, she nullified my magic.
“I’ve already got a counter for that! I’ll finish you off!”
With that, she charged at me.
I dodged her at the last possible moment.
This is what happens when your opponent has some magical ability.
In a situation like this… no, actually, this is perfect.
The princess launched a follow-up thrust, but instead of dodging, I took the blow directly to the stomach.
Then I activated the Lightning-attribute Judgment Overflow.
This is a counterattack, but it’s rarely used.
The reason is that the attack’s power increases in proportion to the damage I’ve taken.
For minor injuries up to fractures, it’s just static electricity or something on that level.
However, if the blow is fatal or causes severe injury, it discharges lightning, temporarily electrocuting and stunning the opponent.
The reason it isn’t used is simply because it’s too painful.
Also, unless you have high aptitude and proficiency in Holy-attribute magic, it’s a move that will kill you.
In other words, there are too many drawbacks.
But for me right now, there are practically no drawbacks.
I feel no pain, I can use Holy-attribute magic, and since this is just a mock battle, I won’t die.
The princess was electrocuted and collapsed right then and there.
That was the end of the match.
Is it over already…
Just as I was thinking that,
“Let’s have one final match. If you lose, you’ll have to apologize to the whole class for everything that’s happened so far.”
I was addressed.
When I looked in the direction of the voice, there stood a knight—one of the final heroines.
So I’ve been challenged by the most troublesome opponent?
This knight is incredibly strong.
She has absolutely no magical power, but in exchange, her magic and physical resistance are both high, and her swordsmanship is said to be the best in the country.
She’s the last person I want to face right now.
I can’t defeat her with the same tricks I used earlier.
…I wasn’t planning on using it, but maybe I’ll fight using Holy magic.
The match began.
Just to test the waters, I fired off a few dozen Holy Arrows.
I heard a gasp from somewhere, but it was probably just my imagination.
As expected, they were all deflected.
“You can… use Holy Magic?”
“We’re in the middle of a match. You’re quite the chatterbox, aren’t you?”
For just a moment, a look of surprise flashed across her face, but it vanished as quickly as it came, returning her to his usual state.
Before I knew it, my left hand was gone.
I see… so there are times when you can’t even notice an injury if there’s no pain… I’ll have to remember that.
But this isn’t the time to be thinking about that.
It’s too fast for my eyes to follow.
At this rate, I’ll just get beaten one-sidedly.
The moment my leg was gone, I cast a massive barrier around myself.
I need to buy some time…
At that instant, my vision on the right side vanished.
It seems my right eye was pierced.
The barriers around me had already been shattered to pieces.
I didn’t think she’d be this strong.
She might even be stronger than the boss of the Assassins’ Guild.
Guess I’ll have to play my trump card too.
“Flash!”
I unleashed a blinding flash of light.
Even with her high magic resistance, it seems she hadn’t prepared for a blind attack. Her movements froze for an instant.
I didn’t miss that opening and instantly healed my left hand.
Then, striking a prayer-like pose, I began to chant.
“Absolute Judgment”
