Why Am I a Priestess When I Reach the Maximum Level? - [Vol. 5] Chapter 295

[Vol. 5] Chapter 295: A Kick for You!

“Shua!”

The razor-sharp blade flashed past, cutting through the air just half an inch from the white fox girl’s mask. The air pressure lifted the girl’s snowy white hair, but she didn’t seem to mind. She immediately spun around, lifting one leg high and kicking like lightning toward the enemy standing close by!

“Bang!”

The young man in plain clothes raised his arm to block the delicate-looking, seemingly harmless calf, which appeared to have no threat at all. Before he could even glance at someone in surprise, he quickly found himself knocked back several steps by the powerful strike of a whip-like kick. He barely managed to stabilize his posture.

At almost the same moment, a jet-black, lustrous jade, imbued with powerful magical energy, soared through the air like a missile, emitting a sharp, whistling sound as it cut through the air!

“Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!!!”

Minchen responded with a flurry of quick strikes, swinging his blade to deflect the dozen or so attack trajectories in less than 0.01 seconds. However, even after that, he was still forced back half a step due to the overwhelming force.

But just as he raised his head, the shoe of someone’s high-kick rapidly enlarged before his eyes!

“Ugh…!”

*Bang!!!*

The dull groan that escaped Minchen’s lips, caused by not having time to react, was immediately drowned out by the strange sound of a hard flat surface slamming into a soft, squishy object. His body was sent flying backward like a bowling ball, propelled by the force striking his head!

However, Minchen, a demigod level warrior with rich combat experience, quickly regained his composure mid-air. Defying the laws of physics, he twisted his body and landed both feet on the ground. He staggered backward for over ten steps, using his long sword to resist the force of the impact.

“…Pfft~”

The white fox girl, having not pursued him after that kick, couldn’t help but laugh when she saw the clear imprint of a shoe on his face as he finally managed to lift his head.

“Your level isn’t that impressive. Looks like you can only bully clueless kids.”

“……”

In contrast to the white fox girl’s playful teasing, Minchen’s expression grew more serious and grave than ever before. He didn’t even care about the mark left on his face by her previous attack. Instead, he focused on quickly regulating his breathing to adjust his condition.

A formidable enemy, an absolute formidable enemy.

After the previous exchange, Minchen, as someone whose strength equal to demigod level hadn’t faced such a challenge in a long time, had come to this realization.

Dawn, the mysterious woman who appeared out of nowhere, was far stronger than he had imagined.

Her combat skills weren’t particularly flashy, in fact, they were rather simplistic. Every move, every strike, Minchen could immediately think of at least ten ways to skillfully counter and follow up with a counterattack.

That’s how it should have been.

But in reality, he couldn’t do it.

The reason was simple, yet complex.

This white fox-masked girl, whose true identity had sparked curiosity in countless people, carried an immense force and speed in every action. Whether it was a seemingly delicate punch or a rough, casual kick, the power behind them far exceeded any enemy Minchen had ever encountered.

He clearly understood how to respond, but the next moment, he found himself forced to hastily defend against an attack that had already reached him. The raw, terrifying strength in her moves shattered his stance and left him in a vicious cycle that ultimately put him at a disadvantage.

In plain terms… his combat attributes were completely crushed.

As an isekai traveller and former gamer, Minchen had always been able to see his personal attribute data clearly on the [System Panel] provided by the[Will of the World]. He had grown accustomed to using this data to gauge the strength of every opponent.

Taking a brief moment to catch his breath, Minchen instinctively glanced at the status on his panel.

—– —– —– —– —– —– —– —–

The data on his brief status panel remained as usual, with no issues.

Anticipating that this would be a tough battle, Minchen had already equipped all of his usual gear in preparation for the fight with Dawn. He was fully armed, and even the spatial storage items he had obtained in this world had been temporarily put away due to conflicts with his equipment slots.

The goal was to trigger the complete set effect of this super set, including armor, greatly enhancing all of his attributes in case of emergency.

However, despite all of this, he had still not managed to create a situation where he could at least match his opponent, and had clearly fallen into a disadvantageous position.

In terms of overall attributes, his opponent was at least on par with an individual above level 90, but that didn’t make sense.

Shaking his head, Minchen dispelled the familiar and strange feeling that resurfaced in his mind, then tightened his grip on the hilt of his sword and carefully surveyed the white fox girl nearby.

To be honest, because the other person was wearing something that resembled the attire of a shrine maiden, which seemed to not exist in this world, Minchen had initially wondered if Dawn might be a player who crossed over from [Illusory World]. So, he always tried to avoid direct conflict with her.

However, she had never shown any skills related to the game and had only relied on her individual attributes to completely overwhelm him, who was supposed to have reached the maximum level of this world. This was definitely not the kind of power a player should have.

A God.

The word surfaced in his mind.

If Dawn was a god, then it would explain both the extent of her power and the true reason for her appearance here.

Coupled with the black spherical object, which had clearly surpassed the Sacred Artifact level and reached a higher dimension…

“Ha…”

It seemed he would have to use that power.

Pale white mist began to seep from every corner of the hall, gradually covering everything.

“Oh? What’s this?”

Thinking it was some kind of special attack initiated by her opponent, Violet took the matter very seriously and used the [Demon God’s Gem] to create multiple protective shields to block any potential damage.

But she quickly realized through her feedback that the white mist itself seemed completely harmless. Though it was swirling with some kind of mysterious force, it wasn’t meant for attacking. More importantly…

“Miss Dawn, this is a barrier formation created by a friend of mine, who made it after researching a strong enemy they encountered years ago. It has many unique uses and can be considered one of the key core elements that make up this underground base.”

“You’re very strong, stronger than I anticipated, and the upcoming battle will likely cause severe destruction around us, so… we’ll have to relocate to continue fighting.”

“Miss Dawn, your physical capabilities are indeed formidable. I admit that I am no match for you, but combat doesn’t always require close-range fighting. It’s wiser to constantly adjust your strategy and exploit your opponent’s weaknesses. Don’t blame me for being cunning.”
