Sword Wolf Turns Out to Be a Thunderfire Beast Part 12 Part 1

Creating your own spells is much like experimenting in the kitchen. First, you try to mash the two or more random words together to create a cool sounding name. If the spell already has its own name, you edit it and replace it with something that has the same reading, but a different meaning. And the chant? You make it as confusing as possible, to lull the enemy into a false sense of security just so that you can deliver a surprising sneak attack.

Spell creation…… in some games that no longer exists, it was something that was very important. It is a fun process, but also the one that can be very complex if you want to go for maximum efficiency in combat while also sounding cool.

「Now I see! This can certainly be of use in the future!」

When it comes to Player versus Player type of battles, this is surely a class that is a must have for some people…… But no, what if someone realizes that and takes precautions against magic? Would that make such class completely useless? I am sure that you could do something like that, as well as trying to prevent such countermeasures from being too effective.

「Now this is really bad! I am a completely physical fighter, through and through! I could not learn any magic spells on my own even if I wanted to!」

Just before Saig100’s spell was about to be released, I manage to shorten the distance between us and get close to her.

As for my weapon of choice here…… I have decided not to go with the sword. For as long as Saig100’s Overcoming the Adversity effect is in place, I have no idea just how exactly does it work, so going all in blind might not be the best idea. I might get the business end of the Holy Sword stuck in me before I will even know what happened.

If this is indeed some “rare” level spell, then by all means, use it and do your best! But if it is actually a “rare”(but not really) kind of a spell, then do not be surprised if I happen to dodge or withstand it altogether!

「First of all, two consecutive attacks!」

Kakuto Ranma. Sengoku Takeyori. Sword Art “Spinning Blade”. After using those skills to power up my own attack, I switch my weapon to “Blue Rabbit Moon” and slash away at my opponent.

At this very moment, due to the weapon’s special effect, since Saig100 was fazed, she ended up taking increased damage from my attack.

「Ooooooryaaaaaahhh!!!」

「Kuuuhhh!!!」

Secret Sword Art “Crescent Moon Slash”. A technique that inflicts a single deep wound while tracing on the opponent’s body, as if it wanted to return to its user.

The Holy Sword shines brightly at that moment, and Saig100’s body is covered in a bright golden shine…… Could it be the Overcoming the Adversity in the working? So apparently here is where the real chicken race starts. Alright! Let us fully enjoy this situation! Right about now even a single misstep can be enough to kill me! What a thrill!

「Better pray to the RNG gods for the random numbers to be on your side!」

「Not yet! I can still win this!」

I activate Formula Drift. Then I make a huge circle around Saig100 while trying to get behind her back. This circle was so hard and fast that much rather than a drift, it was a continuous slide or even slip.

Perhaps it is because in this state the Overflow’s effects were too much for me to handle, because my sword does not go through Saig100’s back, but rather hits the ground right next to her.

「Right there! And opening!」

「Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa there…… Not so fast! It’s still my turn, mind you!」

I knew that she was going to see right through me, that she would figure out that I was going to get behind her back and that she would set a trap for me at that exact moment. However, I still decided on going with that, knowing fully well what was in store for me. It was an opportunity I had to take, otherwise I would have never gotten a second chance like the one that presented itself to me in this moment.

「“Stan Beat”!!」

「Kuh…… That mantle is really starting to irritate me!」」

「Thank you for the compliment!」

It is really a handy tool, one that allows me to automatically use my skills, allowing me to focus solely on battle and not having to think about anything unnecessary. Especially since my HP was continually being shaved down.

And it is all thanks to the effect of the Levin Trigger/Disaster Hand. But it is that “demerit” that allows me to have even greater synchronization with the effect of the “Fool” Arcana. And it is only under those conditions and in this battle that I can squeeze out every last possible drop from it. Who is the fool now here, huh? You stupid bastards!

If I manage to land a successful blow here, all the better. And if I cannot, it’s no harm done. I can always adjust myself to have another quick go at it while the effects of the buffs still last.

「One strike! Two strikes! Three strikes!」

The first attack was avoided. The second one was blocked by the sword. The third shot finally managed to reach its mark, piercing Saig100’s arm with a flaming projectile. However, at that moment the golden aura shone brighter, as if it was not going to let any harm come to the Hero. I was a little worried since this effect was slightly different than the previous one, but I had no time to actually let my doubts occupy me right now.

「Persistent little bugger……!」

「Fortitude is…… one of Hero’s privileges……!」

A Sword Art that is neither skillful nor sloppy, it was just so that she could put some distance in between us for the time being. However, this actually worked well for me, for as long as Saig100 was focused on the defense, I could have precious time to adjust my position accordingly and try to attack. However……

「Tsk……」

A clean hit, but the Holy Sword shines brightly. A clean hit, but the Holy Sword shines brightly once more. A third clean hit, but guess what? The Holy Sword shines brightly once more!

Daaaagh!!! What the hell is this!? Nobody told me that there would be some shitty RNG involved with that pesky ability! Or no, could it be that I am actually pretty lucky? Or maybe it is just that my RNG luck is below garbage level?

「Aaagh, shut up! If I just keep on hitting you until you die, you will die to death eventually……!!!」

I scold myself out loud and concentrate once more. I cannot allow myself to be distracted so early on, not yet. The moment I start running out of gas here, I am going to burn out in an instant, just like a caffeine fuel.
