Beside the grove, Tyler watched the owl not far away that was staring at him, feeling a vague sense of discomfort.

He always felt that the owl harbored ill intentions, yet he couldn't pinpoint why, so he utilized his Deceiver's Charm skill, prompting it to fly away.

(Heloise is taking quite a while this time...)

Just as Tyler was about to go and check on her, a warning red light suddenly shone directly towards his right hand.

Without a second to spare, Tyler reflexively activated his "Calculation Boost: Overclock" skill.

Simultaneously, he unsheathed his weapon and dismounted in a fluid motion.

Before running for cover, he didn't forget to pat Moto-chan, instructing it to seek refuge immediately.

In the next instant, Tyler saw the white-haired girl leap from the tree branch and thrust her sleeve sword at the spot he had just vacated.

"Heloise? What are you doing?"

"Sly demon! Don't think you can continue to deceive the envoy of the God of the Nefarious Tiger!"

(Demon?)

(Continue to deceive?)

Tyler tried to communicate with Heloise, but she was in a rage and completely ignored his words.

After her initial frontal assault missed, Heloise immediately twisted her body and continued to swing her sleeve sword, launching a series of attacks at Tyler!

Seeing this, Tyler had no choice but to set aside the idea of communicating for now and focus on dodging under the warning of the red light, while staying alert to Heloise's two techniques.

After a spate of intense attacks, Heloise, who had repeatedly missed her strikes, had to pause to catch her breath.

Tyler, however, remained composed and used this opportunity to put some distance between them.

(Why would she think I'm a demon?)

(And she said, "don't think you can 'CONTINUE' to deceive...?")



Reflecting on Heloise's words, Tyler found a clue.

From the time he met Heloise to the present, nearly a day had passed, and Tyler hadn't done anything to deceive Heloise. If he had to say anything, it would be his pseudonym "Felix" and his dyed hair.

But Heloise couldn't have discovered these things without reason, which meant that someone must have told her in the past few minutes.

(I was careless. I didn't expect that "Earthly Ghost" could connect with her in just a few minutes...!)

Whether in the Earth World or in the Prison Star World, if a man lies and a woman sees through it, it will become a big problem.

Tyler was wary of Heloise's nimble body movements and didn't dare to fight in close quarters for too long.

He retreated while fighting, deliberately leading the battle to the road. In this way, Heloise wouldn't be able to utilize the trees to launch a full-scale attack in three dimensions.

However, it seemed that Heloise had also seen through Tyler's plans.

Taking advantage of a moment when Tyler's center of gravity was unstable during his retreat, she suddenly charged forward, arriving in front of Tyler.

"Spiral·Round·Dance!"

Using the red light warning, Tyler managed to dodge this torrential onslaught.

Moreover, after going all out to dodge, he gained a new understanding of his own strength - it turned out that his agility had been elevated to another level without him noticing.

(The attribute of Dexterity seems to increase a little each time, but the effect is quite significant when accumulated.)

Tyler even felt like thanking Heloise. If it weren't for her pressing him so hard, he wouldn't have realized that he still had potential that hadn't been utilized.

On the other hand, Heloise was dumbfounded after her proud attack was avoided.

She saw very clearly that Felix's sidestep to dodge was even faster than her own move!

"Heloise, I have no intention of hurting you. Let's cease fire and have a chat, shall we?"

Felix's words hit Heloise's sore spot like a sharp knife.

"Big liar! And you said you're an archer! How could an archer's movements be faster than mine!"

.

Tyler had initially hoped to converse with Heloise during a moment of her defeat, yet the result was quite the opposite.

Heloise, who had been somewhat hesitant, found her fighting spirit igniting into a roaring blaze after being "mocked" by Felix.

As a member of the tigermen race, as a Blade Dancer, Heloise's pride would not permit her to lose in close combat to an archer.

At present, she didn't care about Banning or Felix, she had to prove that she was superior in close combat to the youth in front of her!

"Oh, Nefarious Tiger God, your apostle, for the honor of our race, must break the precept here!" With a solemn air, Heloise placed her hand on her right-eye patch, her entire aura dramatically changing.

"Blast the Reality! Blood of the Tigermen Race!"

"Burst into Shreds! Body of the Tigermen Race!"

"Eye of the Nefarious Tiger King! Seal...Release!!!"

As she shouted aloud, Heloise removed her eyepatch with a dashing posture!

Beneath that pitch-black eyepatch was...!

.

Indeed, it was a healthy right eye, just like the left one!

Tyler couldn't help but chuckle. This only served to infuriate Heloise even more!

"You...you...you...what are you laughing at!!"

"Despicable demon! You dare mock the Eye of the Nefarious Tiger King! You will pay for your ignorance soon!"

Heloise's face turned beet red, she had never been so embarrassed before!

"I...I was just..."

Even a silver-tongued person like Tyler couldn't think of an excuse to defend himself at this moment.

Enraged and embarrassed, Heloise charged straight at Tyler. Even though Tyler had just mocked her chunibyo tendencies, when the battle began again, his attitude was as serious as ever.

Tyler carefully checked Heloise's life energy, endurance, and magic energy, finding that the values had not changed. It seemed that her act of removing the eyepatch was just a chunibyo act.

However, Tyler did not directly conclude that Heloise's chunibyo act was completely useless.

The cautious him quickly noticed that Heloise's attack range had become wider, and her reaction speed had also increased.

The additional visual field of her right eye indeed brought an improvement in Heloise's strength.

"But, you're still not on par with me."

After evading Heloise's Spiral Round Dance once again, Tyler glanced at Heloise's remaining magic energy and deliberately taunted her, forcing her to bring out all her skills.

"Presumptuous fool! You will stop laughing soon!"

Heloise took a deep breath, feigning a charge, but abruptly stopped about five meters away from Felix, then swung her sleeve sword, unleashing the first white sword energy.

"Take this! White...Tiger...Rapid...Bite!"

Four sword auras were successively slashed out. Felix should have been unable to avoid them, however, Heloise's attacks still missed. Felix seemed to have predicted her attack trajectory in advance, each dodge seemed calm and composed.

— (My...my attack was seen through? )

What surprised Heloise was not only this. After releasing her skill, she suddenly felt a severe dizziness and found it hard to maintain her stance.

— (It's...bad...! Is it...magic...depletion...?!)

Only at this moment did Heloise realize that her remaining magic energy was just enough for the "White Tiger Rapid Bite".

She was so angry that she hadn't considered her magic energy at all.

Seeing the wicked smile on Felix's face, Heloise tried to resist the backlash from the magic exhaustion, but her body had already uncontrollably begun to fall to the ground...
