Act 4: Chapter 29: Redo, Mitsuru's Return

?It's you guys' fault that I became laughing stock in the medical facility of the dragonfolk twice! I won't be satisfied till I pay back this humiliation a hundred times!?

Mitsuru wielded the great sword on his back and swung it toward me.

I moved my body to dodge the attack.

The sword that cut the air then hit the ground.

?… If anything, I think the Dragonfolks are nice people.?

?Ain't talking about that shi*t! Are you looking down on me? Prepare yourself, I'm going to kill you this time!?

Mitsuru shouted at me.

Honestly, I had no idea what to do about this one.

Mitsuru's level didn't seem to be that high.

He might be around ?Level ????~?Level????.

And despite what he said, the person himself didn't unleash his killing intent, meaning that he didn't want to kill me, thus making it harder for me to cope with him.

I guess I didn't have to take him too seriously.

Let's give him a light scolding and be done with it, I hope that I will never meet him again.

?Draw your sword and fight me da*mmit! Since you don't take this seriously, how about this? ?Double?… Assault mode!?

Mitsuru's muscles swelled up, red steam rising from his body.

I stopped his slash in that state with my bare hand.

Mitsuru's fighting spirit might be dampened if he saw how easily I stopped his blow from the front like this.

?H-He stopped the attack of that man with his bare hand… What a monster.?

Muttered Raigan.

Since Raigan was once defeated by Mitsuru, the former should be able to gauge the ability of the latter.

Mitsuru squinted his eyes in shock as he looked at my hand.

?… Have you had seen enough??

I asked him since I felt that this was the perfect time to do so.

And yet, Mitsuru's expression crumbled down into a daring smile.

?I see… So that's your ?Gift Skill? huh.?

?… Pardon??

?You won't be able to trick my eyes after you show me how you stop my sword just now. The feeling just now, is not the feeling of my sword stopped by a human hand. You must've stopped it… With some sort of ?Law?. Even the women who lift the boulder must've been affected by your ability. That must be your ?Gift Skill?. Once I uncovered the secret, it turned out to be a boring trick.?

Honestly, I had no idea what Mitsuru was talking about.

And that must be shown on my face.

Mitsuru revealed a smile when he saw my dumbfounded face.

?Bull's eye huh? So far, I've managed to defeat a few humanoid dragons who can use absurd magic, or ?Gift Skill? like you. Is your ?Gift Skill? some sort of ability to manipulate vectors under specific conditions? That must be the reason why you're looking for the perfect chance to show off and bluff your way to that.?

Which part of his analysis hit the bull's eyes I wonder?

I just wanted him to give up after showing him the decisive level difference between un and yet, things became even more troublesome since he thought that he saw through me.

In Kotone's case, she didn't seem to use appraisal on me, and the same goes for Mitsuru.

Maybe showing off level between otherworlders was treated as some sort of taboo unless the other party was your comrade.

Well, I kinda understood his feeling.

As much as I understood his feeling alas, rather than overestimating me like that, it would be much faster if he used appraisal on me instead.

?Since that was the case, the way to deal with that is simple! ?Double?… DEFENSE MODE!?

This time around, blue steam rose from Mitsuru's body.

It seems this one was focused on raising his defense.

?Your ?Gift Skill? can only be used against moving objects, and it won't work against something stationary or something that you can't see, isn't it? Your paltry trick means nothing before my insight! This will make it quick. I just need to use counter against you, explore your gaps, and crush you! Too bad for you, my ?Double? is invincible!?

I leaped forward and sent a right jab toward Mitsuru.

My jab broke his nose, sending his body rolling on the ground till he crashed onto one of the dragon statues.

Thus, Mitsuru's figure got buried inside a cloud of dust.

But seeing the silhouette that crouched on the ground, I knew that he was fine.

?… Shall we end this??

The reason he didn't die was simply because I was pulling punch.

This should be enough to open his eyes.

?I… I see now, it can be used in that way too.?

Said Mitsuru as he used his great sword to prop himself.

Just how in the world did he push himself up to that point?

And what did he mean by "it can be used in that way too"?

Though I had no idea what he was talking about, I knew that Mitsuru was surprisingly tenacious.

Uselessly tenacious.

?But, now you've revealed all your hands! It's not a bad ?Gift Skill?, its weakness is too obvious ?Double?… Magic Mode!?

Purple steam rose from Mitsuru's body.

Mitsuru pressed his broken nose, adjusting his ragged breath, and then pointed his hand toward me.

?You can raise the speed of your fist in a simple brawl with your skill. But, your attack becomes too monotonous as a result! To make sure that you're not countered, you have to make sure that you leave no opening when using that! Alas, curse your luck for not finishing me off with the previous attack! Curse your naivety for looking down on my defense mode!?

?Well… The truth is, I got no ?Gift Skill?…?

?This is the end! Flame Magic, 6th Rank?Power Flame?.?

A giant fireball was fired from Mitsuru toward me.

… It seems he thought that magic would work against me.

?Flame Magic, 9th Rank ?Drag Ray??

I conjured two magic circles.

A bright red beam of light was unleashed from the overlapping magic circle.

The beam of light annihilated Mitsuru's fireball, grazing past his cheek.

There was a red scald on the scalding part of his face, and Mitsuru himself got blown away by the impact of my magic, rolling on the ground as a result.

His great sword got thrown in the air and pierced the ground as it fell.

?Cough! Gaah! O-Ouch!?

Mitsuru touched his cheek as he struggled on the ground.

He crawled toward the nearby dragon statue while pressing his cheek with his other hand, and used that statue to prop himself.

?D-Dammit… That magic…! You got me now… You've already prepared a countermeasure against mid-range attack too huh!?

?Eee…?

?Okay… I admit it. You're not a mere bean sprout. It seems the method to defeat you ain't that simple. I underestimated you since you have a mob-like face but, I've to admit that you're really strong. But, the real battle has only just begun.?

Said Mitsuru as he pointed his finger toward me.

Still not giving up huh?

Seriously, what's wrong with this person's brain?

I wish he just leave us alone now that he had already been defeated.

?M-Mitsuru-san! I think that you should stop now! It's obvious that no matter what you did, you can't ever win against him! Look at your body, you can barely stand on your own! Shall we go back and take a rest? ?

Yorna touched Mitsuru's shoulder, trying her best to stop him.

?Shut up, woman!?

?Even from the side, I can see that none of your ?Double?'s ability work against him! Just give it up and step back like a good kid! You've done good enough already! It's something that you can take pride with!?

It seem that Yorna, the dragonfolk who attended Mitsuru tried her best to coax him.

… Mitsuru on the other hand was still rearing to rush at me, which was a pain in the a*ss.

Though I wanted to enjoy the boorish, yet pretty and natural scenery of Peach Dragon Village while enjoying their unique dishes, we ended up having to go through the troublesome procedure to meet the Dragon King and then left this place immediately.

To begin with, we were in a hurry since we entrusted Ramiel to Rosemonde's custody.

No matter how kind-hearted Rosemonde was, she might run out of patience if she had to cope with that selfish girl's demand.

?Hohohohoho! How convenient to see that you human ended up fighting among yourself! Pulling each other's leg in this sacred trial ground, human is stupid creature indeed!?

At that moment, the high-pitched voice of a man resounded in the trial ground.

When I turned toward the direction of the voice, I saw a purple-haired dragonfolk standing on top of a 1000-point dragonic statue.

He holds a spear longer than his height in his hand.

His face was white, his lips were red as if he wore cosmetics.

With purple eyeliners under his eyes, his appearance resembled that of a clown.

His bat-like wings spread out as he laughed as if mocking at us.

?O-One of the three great dragon saints, Zuul-sama! Why are you in this Dragon Gate temple!??

Asked Raigan with a shocked face.
