Year 2851 | Month 8 | Day 23
The two of us repeatedly clash over and over again. With her breaking my bones over and over again with every fist she hits me with while I continue carving small grooves in her armor with my claws. But neither of us let the other do what we want.
With that being grabbing the crown for her and drinking her blood for a power boost for me.
There’s a difference between us though.
A massive one.
She’s using mana with every punch while I’m not.
Judging by the mana output I can sense from her, she’s using at least ten arcs of mana every second for her physical enhancement to be this strong. And she’s regenerating a shocking five arcs of mana a second.
How, exactly, she’s doing that, I have no idea.
Still. Even with her ridiculous regeneration speed, she’s still losing five arcs of mana a second.
And that builds up.
At least, until I feel numerous curses being thrown on my clothes. And as if that wasn’t bad enough, Richard fires off more pulses of anti-matter mana at me while seemingly trying to avoid hitting Reflata.
I take three pulses back to back, with one hitting me from behind and the other two from the sides. Meanwhile the curses make me feel significantly heavier until I devour the curse mana on my clothes with my death mana.
Right when I finish that though, I barely manage to react and back away from Reflata’s hand as she reaches for the crown.
And even that’s simply by using a blast of flames to push me away. Building distance between us.
I look between the three Class S magicians before frowning and stating, “Three against one? That doesn’t seem fair.”
“You? Speaking about fairness?” Aritonia asks with a frown on her face with her brows furrowed. “What exactly is fair about fighting an immortal?”
“She’s got a point,” Reflata says while pointing towards Aritonia and nodding her head.
Richard just fires off more pulses of anti-matter mana at me while growling out, “Shut up and fight. Or just give up now and give me the crown.”
“Now why would I do that?” I ask with a frown of my own as I tilt my head and use another blast of flames to move away from Reflata’s sudden approach. “Has anyone ever actually just given up and surrendered when you asked them that?”
Richard blinks at my question, meanwhile Reflata’s smile grows wider as she looks at Richard and points at me while saying, “He’s got a point.”
Even Aritonia looks vaguely amused.
“Idiots,” Richard mutters before frowning at one of the mutants that tries to bite his ankle. “And pests.”
I agree with that one. These mutants are annoying.
Out of nowhere, Reflata suddenly explodes with far more enhancement mana filling her body before she rushes at me so fast I can’t move away. With her hand reaching for the crown again.
I grit my teeth before deciding to do something I’ve never actually tried in battle before.
When I can’t dodge her attack or block it, the best way to avoid it is to do something unexpected.
So with that thought, I activate a fire spell inside of my neck. Completely blowing my head off and sending it flying high in the sky with the crown still on it.
Leaving Reflata to find herself grasping air where the crown was just mere moments ago.
Without hesitation, I activate the spell I started in my body to push my main body backwards. Away from her hand. Following which my head immediately reverts to reattach to my body.
With the crown still on top of it.
Reflata stares at me with her eyes wider than I’ve ever seen them before and her mouth open in shock. And she’s not the only one as the other two both look shocked as well.
After a second, Reflata’s mouth closes. Only for her to open it again when she says, “And you call that fair?”
I smile at her as I state, “Yep.
Then I drop a bomb and make it explode, sending me flying all the way out of the crater to make a new, much smaller crater on the edges of the forest. And without any hesitation, I set off running into said forest.
Everything’s fair in mint ice scream and war.
I continue running as I hear shouts coming from behind me. Most of which are aimed at me, but some of which seem to be aimed at the mutants. Of which there are many.
Even in the forest I find myself facing quite a few of them. Crushing each one with my bare fists every time I run into them.
Some of them I even end up resorting to using my swords simply because the things have incredibly hard shells. Like the mutated turtles and cockroaches.
The latter of which are incredibly disgusting.
Although the former is cute. Or would be cute if the turtles weren’t snapping at me.
Also, how the hell did she make a turtle move this fast anyway?
Putting that aside for the moment, I keep having to erase the stupid curses she keeps putting on me. Because, while the other two have lagged behind in chasing me, Aritonia is not very far behind. Close enough that she is putting multiple curses on my clothes and my sword every couple seconds.
Which probably burns up plenty of mana.
Speaking of mana, I glance at my own mana to find it having dropped more than I’d like from all my explosives. But not enough to be a major issue.
Especially if I hold back on using it for a little bit to regenerate what I do have missing.
Something the others can’t really do since their mana is most of what they use during battle and-
My thoughts go dark mere moments after hearing a gunshot.
