Peerless Activity
Recently I’ve been practicing adding magic to my skills.
I think it will be good if I can use it as easily as breathing.
My weakness is that the magic consumption is huge so it’s hard to regulate.
Even just Air Strike Shield, sending 2 is the limit of my magic consumption.
One way or another, the magic consumption is extreme. The natural recovery I have is troublesome.
Using Mana Potions are a waste so I have to save them. I use magic also when compounding.
But it’s good if I can use magic when making good things…. and as the Old Man said, it seems that listening to the ingredients is important too.
When I think about it, there’s no end.
“Naofumi-sama.” (Atla)
“What is it?” (Naofumi)
“I feel like your accuracy has improved, but there are still tears?” (Atla)
“There, right.” (Naofumi)
I proposed a contest with the Female Knight who had been training.
The Female Knight mastered the Peerless Transformation Sword Style.
Apparently because she could beat Ren, he happily became an opponent every day as well.
I think if I face being hit like this then it’ll probably collapse.
It’s fine if that’s the case.
I want to test how well the Prison will work in actual combat on the Female Knight.
The Female Knight’s special skill that bypassed defence faced me.
The first strike warded off the shield, and the second strike changed direction to my forearm.
The third strike repeatedly intersected, mixing together at high frequencies and when I was about to receive it, I followed the flow of her body and struck.
Without overlooking my chance, I materialised the Prison to trap the Female Knight as she focused her consciousness on her attack.
The imprisoned Female Knight attacked with a bang.
However…the cage gave no sign of breaking.
I think the sound reverberated for around three minutes but before long, it became silent.
And then….Five minutes later.
She muttered complaints.
When I called out to her, she suddenly came to her senses and glared at me with determined eyes.
It seems the Female Knight doesn’t have the ability to strike the weak points like Alta can.
So next is Rishia.
I call Rishia, who been making progress with her mood change lately, to test it out. [T/N: So no more Fue?]
This guy, she’s levelled up and has gotten considerably strong.
Rishia takes out and readies her sword, and I imprison her like the Female Knight.
It took her around three hits. Her’s was a relatively quick destruction.
As expected, Rishia is stronger than the Female Knight.
Was it only….the status difference?
I don’t understand the disparity of the Peerless Transformation Style.
I heard that there was a legend that matched the Four Saint Heroes and the Seven Star Heroes but I don’t know the actual circumstances so I’d like to hear.
Without relying on the heroes, I see…. well in this world, whenever something happens then they summon heroes or rely on the Seven Star Heroes, or at least that’s the image i get.
So it’s a School made from searching for a method to become stronger without relying on those heroes.
“To be able to handle the elements is the foundation, skills come after that.” (Rishia)
“I see…” (Naofumi)
“I was able to handle the elements and so I ended my absence-of-leave. The other techniques was one part but they were the application of the original School.” (Female Knight)
“Didn’t Master also praise you for achieving mastery?.” (Rishia)
“Yes, but…. Teacher has yet to teach me about the inner workings, isn’t Raphtalia working on those hidden purposes now? Rishia, I also saw her teaching you things that I don’t know.” (Female Knight)
“Th-that’s right, isn’t it.” (Rishia)
“Isn’t it obvious that the continuation time of Peerless Activity differs too much?” (Female Knight)
“Peerless Activity?” (Naofumi)
“Ah, I only use it during the instant when attacking Iwatani-dono or avoiding. So to speak, it’s similar to handling protection magic. Rishia excels at maintaining that activity for a long time. If I try to imitate her, I can probably only hold it for a minute.” (Female Knight)
“Hmmm….” (Naofumi)
Or rather, was Rishia able to maintain it for a long time because her disposition was good?
The Female Knight who used it economically and the Rishia who could use it for a long duration.
It seems the Female Knight had a weaker effect as well.
Either way, the Female Knight can use it so I can probably use it as well.
Hypothetically, even if I can’t use it, I should be able to apply it as long as I understand the principle.
The problem is that I didn’t realise that that technique was being used until now.
Lately, there are times where I feel a discrepancy when I talk to Rishia or the Female Knight, and Atla.
It’s when they start talking about ‘the elements’.
I don’t really understand but, I’ll observe these three more attentively.
And so, the Female Knight started training with Rishia.
After Atla built up her strength, she jumped towards me.
Fast! Her speed is several times more than her usual speed.
And then she faced me and fired a hit.
Gu…. I didn’t dodge Atla’s attack that disregarded defence and was injured.
There was a slight struggle in my body.
I see, this is really brutal indeed.
Or rather, Atla really is a genius to be able to copy this simply from watching.
Already, she can’t be stopped by the Female Knight.
