Mastering Magic Slashing Thread
“Ha ha ha ha!" Aren't you just running away! Is that the extent of your power?”
Baldy continued to attack Master with [Invisible Slash] or [Magic Slashing Thread] while laughing loudly.
The sweat pouring down his face did not hide the exhaustion of his physical strength. At this rate, he was going to be out of luck.
“I'm still waiting, still waiting, still waiting. ...... Not yet, not yet, not yet...... I want to mow her neck, neck, neck, I want to mow her neck......!”
Old Man No.2 who was restraining me was also on the verge of going berserk with a growing desire to kill.
It seems that killing me was already a predetermined plan in this Old Man No.2's mind.
I think Master said beforehand that he wouldn't cooperate if they killed me.
Well, it's alright.
I won't be killed.
It won't be my head that falls.
It'll be yours.
<<But, Emmy! You say it's easy to learn [Magic Slashing Thread], but can you do that at the last minute like this! >>
I don't think it's about whether I can do it or not, but rather, if I don't do it, I will die, Omake-sama.
In the first place, I don't think it's a situation where the odds are against us.
I found out when I looked at it with [Magic Vision] that the flow of magic power, or rather the method of manifesting power, of [Magic Slashing Thread] is actually similar to that of [Mantis].
Both are techniques for "cutting things with magic power," so it's only natural.
The Mantis is a technique for slashing by applying magic power to the blade.
The [Magic Slashing Thread] is a technique to cut by stretching "cutting" magic power like a thread.
Now that we know how to use magic power to slice, all we need to do is to "stretch magic power like a thread" and "manipulate it at will. That's it.
<< I know how to use magic power to slice. I'll tell you how to do it. >>
“... Haah… haah… haah… Neck, neck, NECK!!! ”
<< Hiiii!! >>
Seriously, I don't have much time, so I'll hurry up and learn it.
The arm that was not twisted up, the fingertips of the right arm, was slightly extended and clothed in magical power.
Old man No. 2, on the verge of going out of control, was distracted.
He didn't notice.
And then, little by little, the enchanted magical power grew thinner and thinner, longer and longer…
Here, the technique of [Intimidation], which had been practised in the form of half-derailment, came in handy.
Because stretching magic power like a thread, in other words, is similar to releasing magic power out of the body with an extremely limited direction......
...... Ah, I did it.
<< Hoh, are you for real?! >>
This is what I call the power of a fool in a fireplace!
From the fingertips of my right hand, there was a "string" of magical power that hung lazily down.
Well, unlike Baldy's [Magic Slashing Thread], it is as thick as a rope!
Baldy's [Magic Slashing Thread] is really as thin as a thread, so I guess that's where his mastery shows.
Even though he is an enemy, I respect him for that.
Next,
I moved the "thread" I created.
I tried to move it.
It was difficult.
It was extremely hard, too.
As I tried to move it, more and more magic power was being consumed.
My head hurt as if it was cracking open.
I broke out in a cold sweat.
“…Ahh…!”
I desperately swallowed the groans that seemed to spill out unintentionally.
...... I'm not even sure if they've noticed me!
“Haah, haah ......!”
Old Man No.2 was still breathing heavily, his eyes bloodshot, struggling between his own desire to kill and Oyasama's orders.
I was not exposed.
… … …
...... I mean, you have a lot of leeway, don't you?
I'm trying so hard to survive.
What are you doing, Old Man No.2?
What am I to you?
A life that can be easily reaped?
Am I just a toy to satisfy your disgusting desire?
Don't you dare fuck with me.
Don't you dare underestimate me.
You're trading lives right now.
That's an expensive attitude to have.
I will survive.
It's you who dies.
The murderous intent, malice, and fighting spirit.......
I pour all of those things into my [Magic Slashing Thread] together with magic power.
Move, move, move, MOVE MOVE MOVE MOVE MOVE MOVE!
Sweat was trickling down.
My [Magic Slash Thread] started to tremble.
Master was fighting in front of me.
The bald man's [Magic Slash Thread] stroked him like a whip.
“....Argh…”
Master's arm was slashed again, and red spilled out from it.
The baldy laughed.
SCREW YOU!, SCREW YOU!, SCREW YOU!
What are you doing to my precious master!
I won't allow it, I WON'T ALLOW IT!
I'll never forgive you, Baldy! I'll never forgive you, Old Man No.2!
I'll kill them!
I'll kill them!
I'll kill you!
I will kill, I will kill, I will kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill!
........................ I will kill you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The next moment,
My [Magic Slash Thread], which until now could only tremble, jumped up with a mighty leap.
Without a sound.
Without any resistance.
Suddenly,
It passed through the neck of old man No. 2.
“Ne…ck...kukk..!”
That murmur was the last few words of Old Man No.2.
A plop, and then,
Old Man No.2's head fell to the ground, rolling.
His eyes widened and he looked as if he didn't know what had happened.
Soon the light disappeared from his eyes.
Amidst the spray of blood that was pouring down vigorously, I involuntarily fell to my knees.
I was not accustomed to manipulating magic power, and I was more drained than I expected.
But, well.
I was still pretty clumsy.
And I still needed to learn how to do it.
[Magic Cutting Thread], now I've mastered it.
Then,
I raised my head and glared.
You're next, Baldy.
Brace yourself.
