Black Destroyer
HAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
The weight type pendulum whirled and struck the Coeurls head. Then when I targeted its eye with the all-purpose type, it dodged the blade in annoyance and it finally recognized me as an enemy.
Guaooo
Come
The Coeurl let out a low growl and turned its sharp gaze toward me. I also rotated the pendulum provocatively.
Aria-!
Viro was about to rush forward seeing me trying to face the Coeurl alone, but Grave got in his way.
Do you think you have the leeway to do something like that?
Grave-!!
Viro was enraged by Graves cheap provocation.
Boy-, dont lose your focus-!!
Samantha swiftly used Stone Bullet to hold back Grave while sending her gaze to me who was facing the Coeurl alone just for an instant.
Were going to defeat Grave while the little girl draw away the beast!! Dont lose focus and was the time that shes giving us!
Shit-!
Samantha gave a scolding as though her senility until now was just a lie. Viro regained his composure and spat out while taking a stance with his short sword. Seeing Viro like that made Grave smiled mockingly to instigate him.
I understand your enthusiasm, but lets be realistic here.
Shut your trap!!
.
Viro and Samantha wouldnt lose even against Grave if they got serious. I believed in that and so I would draw away this mythical beast until the two could defeat Grave.
GUAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
*Byubyun!*
The Coeurl stepped forward and used its two whiskers to attack like a whip.
Fastbut, it wasnt beyond my ability to keep up with.
Steel yourself. Dont avert your eyes even just for a moment. Guess its attack from the movements of its muscles!
I saw through the trajectory of the whips using my eyes based on my Magic Power Control that had reached level 4. I bent backward to dodge the whips and used that momentum to somersault backward and opened some distance.
Since defeating the orc general, I kept practicing to remove the unnecessary magic elements in my mana bit by bit even when I was in a normal state. With that my Body Strengthening was gradually improving in its precision though it was still unstable when running at full strength.Updated from
Even so the improvement was still negligible, but in a fight of this level, even that slight difference could decide my fate.
Guruu
The Coeurl didnt immediately charge forward with all its strength because my attack at the beginning was effective.
I didnt know whether someone weak like me would be able to cut through a mythical beasts skin. It was also possible that the Coeurl had resistance against sharp weapon just like the werewolf from the assassin guild. But, it seemed that a blunt weapon like the weight type was quite effective. The Coeurl was clearly on guard against the pendulum.
High intellectthat was an advantage in almost all cases but it could also become weakness.
If the Coeurl charged forward using its large body just like it did with Viro, I would definitely be unable to block the attack and got torn apart. But the Coeurl with its high intellect understood that blunt attack could damage even itself and hesitated to get too close to me.
It was a painful blow that it was on guard against my weight type pendulum when it was my only weapon that could damage it, but it wasnt really bad in this current situation where I needed to buy time. But that too would only last until it noticed that my own attack power wasnt that high. After that it would attack me with the resolve of getting hurt.

The Coeurls combat strength far surpassed even the orc general. It might be possible for a rank 5 heavy warrior to endure an attack from it, but in my case I could clearly imagine how I would die from it.
That was why I wouldnt fight honorably. I would make it wary against me as much as possible, bought as much time as possible, and drew it as far away as possible from Viro and Samantha.
Shadow Snatch
The moment the Coeurl showed movement, I created several darkness of Shadow Snatch. The Coeurl reacted just for an instant seeing that. I threw multiple darkness to float toward it.
GUAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
It quickly swept away one darkness with its two whiskers like a whip. I used the easily erased darkness as cover and pulled out a knife from between my skirts slit and attacked the Coeurl.
*Clang!*
The Coeurl noticed the attack instantly and its whiskers smashed the knife with a metallic sound. Just how hard they were?
The Coeurl judged that the darkness was to blind it and charged toward me while ignoring them.
Shadow
I created two Shadows that I also used in the battle against orcs. I switched with them using the cover of the trees. It was hard for this technique to trick an opponent that relied on their eyesight, but the more the opponent relied on Night Vision and Detection skills, the more this technique would affect their judgment.
The Coeurl was slightly bewildered by the fragile foothold and the Shadows. I threw a knife to the shadow under my feet and fired it from the darkness of Shadow Snatch.
GUAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
The Coeurl whose high speed movement was sealed deflected the knife with its whiskers.
But that was fine. I never expected the knife to be effective anyway.
*GAANN!!*
GAAAAA!?
In that moment I swung down the weight type pendulum that was my main intention from right above in an arc. This time it landed a direct hit on the side of the Coeurls head for sure.
The Coeurl that got hit on its head again roared angrily to the sky. It was so loud it felt like the whole desiccated forest was shaking.
GUAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
*Bachin!*
In that moment, small sparks spread from the Coeurls whiskers.
This is, electricity? The knowledge inside me told me of the true nature of that phenomenon. I immediately retreated while my two Shadows that were left behind got touched and were dispersed instantly like mist.
tsu
The mental impact that slightly reached me caused my face to grimace reflexively.
Lightning also existed in this world, and lightning attack also existed as an advanced combination magic of wind and water, but I got the feeling that what the Coeurl used was something fundamentally different than that.
Most likely it generated electricity using its tough muscle cells, then using it by combining it with mana and gathered it to its whiskers.
The effect was dealing shock to the opponents nerve using electricityit hindered the use of sorcery huh. By hindering me from focusing my mind, all sorceries that were connected to me got erased. If the electricity attack was used in that way, most sorcery on standby would be neutralized unless it was a sorcery that had instantaneous effect.
My combat strength would be halved if I didnt have sorcery. The Coeurl had noticed that I was a light warrior who used sorcery and acted to crush my advantage.
GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!
Tsu!
The Coeurl that had been staying wary now finally turned serious. Sparks of electricity came out from its two whiskers while its large body lunged at me.
Seeing that, I too pushed down my shaken heart to the bottom and resolved myself to meet it head on.
My illusion sorcery was sealed, while the Coeurl had its attack power and agility drastically reduced.
The Coeurl had given up dodging. It landed on top of a small remaining rock. There it bent its large body that was flexible like a jet black whip to the limit like a drawn bow.
I focused all my nerves. In our eyes now there was nothing more reflected other than the figure of each other. We put all our strength into the next attack.
Compared to the Coeurls full strength, my full strength was only about half or even half of it. Even so I didnt plan to die. I put everything that I could right now and strongly tightened my hold on my dagger.
Coeurlyou would be the one who died.
*Crackle*the Coeurls whiskers were electrified like static electricity and the dried sand on the surrounding ground was fiercely blown away.
I purposefully removed elements from the mana in my whole body and accelerated its flowing speed.
This was my authentic trump card.
I pictured in my heart, that attack that defeated the orc general, Gorjaoul. I fixed the aim of my black dagger toward the Coeurls eye and crouched on my four limbs like a cat.
The Coeurls crimson eyes narrowed as it sensed my mana. The muscles throughout its body swelled powerfully, then its huge body shot out like a cannon ball in the same moment.
*DOON!!*
The withered rocky place it used as foothold was pulverized. The black beast closed in with a sound as though the atmosphere was exploding.
I concentrated my mind to the extreme. Inside my accelerated thought, I unleashed the elemental mana that I had removed and stockpiled into magic.
Shadow Walker
My figure vanished into shadow the instant I came into contact with the Coeurl. I appeared on the Coeurls back with Shadow Walker and grabbed its whiskers with the power of the rampaging Body Strengthening.
Tsu!!
GUA!!
Kuh!
The shock that disturbed my concentration directly flowed into me. It made the rampaging mana went even wilder. I forcefully suppressed it with my willpower while smashing that rampaging mana through the Coeurls whiskers just as it was.
GUAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!
The Coeurl rampaged around the desiccated forest with me still on its back due to the rampaging mana it received.
GO DOWNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!
I gritted my teeth as my hands felt like they would be torn off while sending in even more mana. The Coeurl also lost control of its body and tried to shake me off. Like that both of us crashed on a giant tree. The giant tree started to crumble and like that the two of us fell, swallowed into the gaping wide hole under the trees roots, into the deep darkness.
