Chapter 253 Supreme Martial Art Festival ⑤
Part 1
Kryhi’s offensive magic was quite powerful. The Imouto Kitsune is not very good at things like that, but everything is coming together. For offensive magic that is used on a human, it is overpowered.
The Magic power in Kryhi’s body was specialized to use lightning magic. This meant that he couldn’t use Magic of other attributes very well.
His Staff Relic is specialized to amplify Lightning Magic. If he tried to use other magic with this staff, not only would the Magic not activate, but it would also give him a painful recoil.
And his Magic was extremely efficient in causing lightning as it disturb the atmosphere. Although it lacks any precision, the fact that this class of destructive phenomena can be used in succession is due to the fact that his technique is extremely efficient.
In that sense, the man called Kryhi Andrichhi, was neither more nor less than a Lightning Magi through and through.
Despite all this destruction, Kryhi opened and closed his hand as if he was confused.
.
“No――Was there a gap in my control? Don’t tell me, my body…… Was hesitating in defeating you, huh? But Lightning Magic should hit on its own even if there’s a slight misalignment………… There is no point in thinking about it, huh?” (Kryhi)
If that was true, I should have faked my fall.
Kryhi’s attack was more than powerful enough and wide enough to be seen from the sidelines. Since I called myself a fake, I should have fallen.
It was completely on reflexes. The Imouto Kitsune is actually not good with lightning. It is a kind of her instinct that she once had when she was a living being and before she was recreated as a Phantom.
Besides, the Imouto Kitsune is not in her best condition. Mana Materials are too thin in the outside world. A lightning strike like that would be quite painful.
Kryhi Andrichhi *guruguru* spun his cane around and pointed it at me.
“If you avoid ten lightning bolts, I’ll make one hundred lightning bolts, and if you avoid one hundred lightning bolts, then I’ll make one thousand lightning bolts! Take this! Flowers of lightning bolts that fill thousands of skies!” (Kryhi)
As if following his voice, light and loud sounds fall from the sky. The Imouto Kitsune, who could read the people’s minds, understood.
This guy――He is not aiming at his opponent.
He is going to scorch this whole arena with lightning. I never thought that human beings were such terrifying creatures――Even “Haha-sama (Mother)”, who is a god, would at least aim at her enemies.
Aren’t human beings intelligent creatures?
Moreover, it wasn’t like I could fight back. I was here in order to play a trick――And to begin with, it wasn’t like the Imouto Kitsune had the means to attack.
The purpose of the Phantoms of the 【Lost Inn】 is to deceive, not to kill. They may be killed as a result, but it must not be one-sided or kill them directly.
After all, I can’t attack him. I have to somehow do something――.
I have to…… I have to somehow lose. If I don’t do it soon, the technique I used on Kikkikan-san will end.
In the face of the obvious excess of lightning that filled the world, the Imouto Kitsune became dejected and took a step forward.
§ § §
The initial farcical and nonsensical exchange was like a lie and became a breathtaking battle.
Everyone was looking at the dust-filled arena as if they were devouring it. Not to mention the first lightning bolt, the lightning bolt that continuously rained down on the entire place, was like God’s judgment, and it did not look like a technique from a single Magi.
At first, Tino was confused by Master~ who for some reason was brimming in confidence while declaring himself as a fake, but after witnessing the battle, I naturally lost all unnecessary thoughts.
Kryhi Andrichhi. He has a name just like Master’s~, but he is not just any ordinary person. Both his attack speed and power are top-notch, as one would expect from a man who was allowed to participate in the Supreme Martial Arts Festival. If Tino were to fight, it would be a contest between Tino kicking Kryhi first or Kryhi being quicker to cast his technique.
If you just look at the power of his lightning, it is definitely stronger than Arnold’s lightning. If you allow your opponent to make his move, you won’t be able to get close to him.
However, in front of that Master’s~ actions were nothing short of horrendous.
It’s a little hard to see with the smoke, but Master~――Stepped forward.
“He is avoiding………… The lightning?” (Tino)
It was like a joke. The speed of a lightning strike is slower than that of light, but it is not something that can be avoided by human reflexes. In the first place, it would be impossible to avoid the damage caused by the impact if one just barely manages to avoid it.
However, Master~ ran through the pouring lightning without a care in the world. From the outside, it even looks as if the lightning is avoiding Master~. The term Divine Strategist doesn’t do him justice, it was truly a feat befitting a Level 8.
I was momentarily surprised by Kryhi’s unexpected Magic, but the advantage would probably be on the Master’s~ side.
As Tino was seriously thinking about this, Sytry Onee-sama, who was sitting nearby, said.
“Hmmm………… That’s a fake. I see, the fake that was in the kitchen at that time was for this――” (Sytry)
“Eh!?” (Tino)
As Tino opened her eyes in shock, Onee-sama, who was sitting next to me, voiced her agreement.
“Riiight~. If it was Cry-chan, he wouldn’t be running. And like, Cry-chan doesn’t like to run.” (Liz)
“Is he interfering with his opponent’s technique……? Is he deviating it? …… How can he do that? It doesn’t seem to be Magic――” (Lucia)
“That’s of course, with trainiiing! Withstanding it is epic, but avoiding it is awesome, I’ll do it too!” (Luke)
“…… Umu, umu.” (Anthem)
Apparently, even from Lucia Onee-sama and Luke Onii-sama point of view, that is not Master~.
I check the arena again. But in my eyes, even if it is far away, I can only see that it is Master~. His divinity is just like Master’s~, but if Onee-sama and the others say so, he is probably not Master~.
For a moment my mind went blank. But then, the words that came naturally out of my mouth were filled with resignation.
“Aaaah…… So this is this time’s trial, huh……” (Tino)
Master~, having a body-double is not allowed at the Supreme Martial Arts Festival, you know…… Even though you are on such a grand stage. Or rather, no matter which tournament, you cannot have a body-double.
However, that being said, Master~ did say 『I won’t appear』.
I thought it was a metaphor of some sort, but I had no idea he meant exactly that――Master~ where did you find someone who looks just like you?
TL notes:
Thanks for reading!
I’m going on vacation for two weeks so I’m not sure if I can do my regular update.
I’ll do my best but no promises…
Of course, everyone else from Strange Grief knew that it was not Cry!
Tino looks like you still need to train!
Tchao à plus!
