Otome Game no Heroine de Saikyou Survival [WN] - Chapter 154.3

I could only catch it with my knife, too, and unable to receive it properly, the axe grazed my arm.

But my dagger also gouged Batir’s shoulder, and I ducked on all fours as he swung his powerful arm at me while the blood spurted out of his wound, and I followed up with a kick like an arrow, using my body as a spring to launch the attack.

“Ha!!!”

“Uraaaaah!”

We both unleashed our spirits as Batir also followed up with a kick aiming at my body as my attack reached him and the clash had blown us away.

“…keh!”

“…tsk.”

I cough lightly while Batir spits out blood.

Both of us were damaged, but not enough to make us incapable of fighting because of our physical reinforcement.

At the same time, we took up a stance, and this time, the beastmen who survived and remained watching us could only gasp as we closed the distance between each other, using our scuffling steps to look for an opening.

He was strong…. Even though we were in the same Rank 4, he was different from the vampires I had fought, who relied heavily on their physical strength.

My Master and I have a fighting style that allows us to fight to the best of our ability even in a state of exhaustion. We would minimize waste to the limit, and even use our opponent’s strength to deliver a killing blow.

So, no matter how strong my opponent was, I should have been able to defeat him, but I couldn’t do it immediately because of my inferior proficiency.

“–Phew.”

I exhaled to let go of the heat and slight irritation that had built up in my body and quietly readied my knife, and then, as if pushed by something, Batir lunged towards me.

“Urrraaaah! !”

“…”

A sharp blade flashed before me. An axe blade that would burn one just by touching it. Even though I parried the blade with my knife, it caused minor damage to me due to the difference in muscular strength.

“Die!”

“…”

It was still not enough. What was I missing? No, that was not it. The answer resided within me.

Batir’s axe, wielded with great strength.

I slightly parried it by touching the flat side of the sharp blade with my hand, and the blade of the axe brushed past me as I took a half step to the side, using the recoil and stride of the clash to push me away from the blade.

“–Nah!”

Batir involuntarily let out a yelp.

Then, I took a half step back to avoid the follow-up axe attack by kicking the handle of the axe up with my knee, then using the force from the clash, I distanced myself once more.

I did my best not to use my tired muscles. Using the techniques I have learned, the skills I have acquired on the battlefield, and the skills I have developed to a high level, I avoid the axe.

My eyes watched the flow of magical elements, and my detection read the presence of the enemy. My Concealment skill concealed my next move.

I felt something clicked inside me.

An exchange of only techniques and skills without using muscle power. As I was able to parry the attack with only simple and intricate techniques, sweat finally began to pour down Batir’s forehead, and he let out a beastly cry.

“What the heck are you!!!?”
