Vol 1 Chapter 6 Part 1 - Paladin of the End
TL: Yuina
At the foot of the hill overlooking the lake and the ruined city.
There was a small fountain, and I was facing Blood.
"Well, then, I'm finished with the swinging and running training, so I'll start practicing some sword moves."
Instead of a preparatory exercise, Blood always uses a stick modeled after a one-handed sword or after a spear to perform the action of swinging down or thrusting.
Blood decides which one to handle, depending on his mood, but he had more swords.
The spear is a weapon mostly used in the battlefield, as for the sword, it can be carried on a daily basis.
When finished running for long and short distances, we started paying.
It is a game where you grab a soft branch and throw it against the opponent.
Unlike a rather boring training and marathon, although it sometimes hurts, it's quite fun.
But Brad is so good at it that he doesn't let me hit.
"You're already eight, so I'll use more force."
"...Eh!?"
"What is it?"
"With your great physical power, you'll shoot me to death!"
Even with the Close Measure rule that I've been using now, it's still sometimes painful!
If you get hit this hard...
"It's all right. Even though I'm strong, I'm merely made of bones, you'll be okay... perhaps."
"What perhaps!"
"Ha, ha, if you don't want to get hit, do your best."
"WAIT, WAIT!?"
Brad laughs and draws the twig in his hand.
"Oh, you can use magic, if you want. You've been learning from old Gus, and it's about time, right? I don't mind if you shoot it with a fireball or an electric shock."
But while Blood was saying so, the time was drawing near.
I'm not going to let him use it.
"It's so messy, it's already...!"
"Fuah, this is a battle, Will!"
Despite seeing him approaching, I rush to think.
It's a battle magic that I learned from Gus.
"—!"
I cried several words at once.
"Ha"
Using the soles of my feet, I kick and flipped the soil to gain some more distance.
While Blood is looking at it with interest, I shout the special words.
"Running Kurrele! Absolute Orem!"
The moment I cry out, a thick layer of fat grease forms over the grass-plot at Brad's feet.
"Ah!?"
Blood's feet slip.
It's made with mana, and will disappear after a while, but it's enough to make the other person fall!
There,
"Falling Kadere! Spider Web Araneum!"
A sticky, net-like spider's web drops over him.
"Ah, you...!?"
The spider's web clings to the fallen Blood.
His struggles, however, makes it wound itself around the body of the skeleton.
Gus says that if you make a mistake using fire or electric shock, you will get injured, but it is not important if you break the magic of grease and spider thread that's only temporary.
If the magic reproducibility is low, it is better to deal with it at a lower level.
No need for flashy magic.
I prefer using low magic skillfully and with more accuracy.
"Come!"
I walked slowly up to the writhing Blood, lest I get my feet caught in the grease, and smashed the twig, at full strength!
"Guwaa... Damn it!"
Blood capitulated...
"I did it!!"
I clasped my hands and yelled with delight.
It was a complete victory.
