"Hurk..."
At that mont, I got a hard punch in the stomach from the guy I said I would take care of a few monts ago.
I went straight towards the guy who looked like the leader; he had seven tamophosis and I thought he underestimated us as he was unard, with only his pants on, so I wanted to finish quickly. However, the guy countered with a strong punch.
Like , he is an unard combatant, I thought he would be a perverted mage, since he doesn’t even have gloves like , but I was wrong, even so it was only a test attack, although if he seed to get careless, I would attack in earnest at the last mont and finish it quickly.
’I was a bit hasty, ’, I quickly took distance . I cast recovery spells on my stomach, but oddly enough they didn’t work. That ant it wasn’t a simple hit .
I quickly moved my blessing; it finally expelled ’it’ that was preventing from healing. whatever blessing his was, I expelled it, giving relief after effectively casting healing spells.
’I can’t be hasty; most of these guys have a blessing.’
They are of a lesser god, but they are still divine entities, so I needed to act wisely. I regretted that my lust eyes had such a useless condition to activate, which doesn’t work in really dangerous combat situations. Still, I gave it a try since I wasn’t losing anything and ....

"..(ﾟДﾟ).."
I take it back; this skill is good for really dangerous people...,¿ why do I always run into perverts. Shit, he doesn’t even look it; the guy seed stoic and calm. I didn’t even think it was possible to see his state, but I see I was wrong.
.... well, the important thing is that I can see his status and he’s a strong guy, seven tamorphosis, plus he’s blessed, so I assu he’s the god of contusión or sothing.
He has an (Ex) ability, which ans he has his favor and he’s an agent. On the face of it, he is relatively young; only about ten years older, not past thirty, so for such a low god he may be a worthwhile talent.
His focus is strength and his skills are all combat. I suppose his blessing serves to make wounds lingering and painful, but as a kind of noxious effect, my purification can neutralize it.
Well, it’s a tough nut, but not impossible. I thought all this quickly and the man finally spoke.
"boy , stop resisting, Just give up and you and your friends won’t get hurt."
"You... have you no sha, attacking people younger than you, does that make you feel good or sothing?"
"..."
I replied with whatever ca to mind , trying to buy ti. The guy is powerful, so I need to prepare myself a bit. Surprisingly, it worked; he was silent. I guess, even in that organization, there are people with so pride.
’Well, I can take advantage of that.
’Why don’t we do this? You let prepare and we have a fair duel. If you win, I’ll go with you without resistance, and I’ll even convince my teammates, is that okay with you?"
"..."
He thought about it. Well, it’s a bit idiotic to want a fair duel in this situation, but still, he’s hesitating quite a bit. ’Okay, I’ve got it.’
"You think if you let prepare you’re going to lose? Just ten seconds, that’s all I need."
With my parallel thinking, occupying in my doppelgänger, it might be more difficult, but I have to work with what I have even so I can do several processes at once icluso now that I’m talking.
after having received four tamorphoses, including one dedicated especially to mana, my ntal capacity is so strong that I can cast several spells at once and quickly, reformulating the processes rapidly in my head.
Almost all mages from a certain point can do this, so having parallel thinking may sound like a silly and unnecessary ability, if it weren’t for the fact that parallel thinking, has the ability to do the sa as , without interfering and even do more ntal processes at once, not for nothing is it a rare ability.
And with my affinities, especially my recent affinity for runes, ten seconds will be more than enough.
"Well... Make sure you keep your word, kid."
’well with this, I already have the ti I was missing’
Unfortunately, I don’t have a decent weapon since I don’t have my bag, but I can still manage.considering we’re both lee combatants.
I just have to avoid his direct hits and his abilities especially the Ex rank one, which seems to be an attack of great power.
even so I only asked for a little extra ti because I was forming sothing even before attacking him, I was already preparing a spell, a particularly powerful one, although it consus quite a lot of mana, but it will be worth it and I already finalized it.
"Aegis Prismae Lucis."
Imdiately, a layer of crystal was ford, covering my entire body from my hands, which had common gloves, to my shoulders, it was white crystal that reflected various colors in contact with light, very similar to the crystal beasts of the domain.
It is light magic, a rare branch of magic that was found among the few items in the last warehouse. This type of magic is easier to use if you have an affinity for light, earth or crystal, and I possess the forr.
’Well, that was the hard one.’ But I didn’t stop there. With the remaining seven seconds, I began casting quickly.
"Folia Defensor, Spinae Muralis, Lux Fulgoris, Aurum Scutum, Umbra Fortis, Nigrum Tegin, Mortis Aegis, Vigor Ferrei."
Without stopping, I used my A-ranked affinities with light, plants, and darkness to conjure several reinforcent spells, both for myself and for my crystal gloves.
After all, I am a magical warrior, with all the spells together I spent almost half my mana.
but thanks to my affinity with runes (B), I was able to make these spells especially complex and strong, not to ntion that this shortened the creation ti.
They were not low level spells, each one should take 3 to four seconds to be created and even more, even with affinities towards these elents and as if that wasn’t enough I consu less mana.
Having affinity with runes has greatly improved my battle power, a strong skill with many uses and advantages, not for nothing Astrid if she had a decent talent, would have been a genius without equal, in the kingdom.
Finally, the ten seconds she gave passed, and I was more than ready.
I activated my Eyes of Lust and watched carefully, looking for weaknesses and anything that might work in my favor. I found many; it seems his fighting style is deficient in so respects.
’I have an advantage there.’
We were sowhat apart from the group. The other four in the group of were attacking William and the rest. ’I think they’ll make it, as those opponents only have, at most, six tamorphoses.
Although they are a challenge for them, who are still on the fourth tamorphosis, I trust how I trained them in the last few months.
The guy is still not moving, probably waiting for to strike the first blow, talves for his pride or another reason, I don’t know. . I don’t have ti to play along. Without hesitation, I launch myself at him, straight to the stomach with my fist ready to crash.
thud!
My fist hits, but he blocks it with his open palm, absorbing the force with surprising speed. Although the blow is accurate, his posture doesn’t break; his muscles tense to resist the impact.
I see a flash of surprise on his face, probably not expecting so much force in a single blow, but he is still not really affected.
Imdiately, his fist cos at like a hamr, fast and brutal. I barely have ti to turn my head, feeling the cutting air rush past my cheek. But before I can recover, another blow cos from the side. I raise my forearm in defense, and the collision resounds.
Crack!
The impact knocks back two steps; the pain vibrates to the bone, though the glass in my arm absorbs much of the blow.
’As I expected, it wasn’t a serious attack;’ he doesn’t seem to be trying to kill yet. That’s sothing I can take advantage of.
I lunge forward, closing the distance quickly. This ti I an it. his speed and agility are not far from mine, I know I can take advantage of my technique.
With the Eyes of Lust active, I can read his movents. I anticipate the flow of his fists and narrowly dodge it, managing to sneak through his defense and expose his side.
"Art of Lust, First Stance: Fiery Burst of Lust."
bamm!!,..bamm...,bamm!...
My fists repeatedly impact the sa spot on his side. Each blow is an attempt to break his guard and widen the opening I found. Finally, after the last flurry of blows, I stagger him, albeit barely.
This ’art of lust’, leaving aside the nas of the attack techniques and that can strengthen when I feel the ’power of friendship (lust)’, even taking that out, only in its base state is very powerful and complete.
has a unique specialty of maximizing every slightest move and exploiting any weakness in the enemy. I harness every ounce of speed and power possible from my body.
Drawing strength above what my stats say, and perfects the fundantals to the maximum and his attack techniques even help to seriously hurt entities far above my actual strength.
..
Well, although I managed to destabilize him a little I didn’t find the opportunity to continue since he recovered quickly, he countered and before I could retreat, he threw a knee towards my torso. I reacted in an instant, swerving to dodge.
Whoosh!
The knee passes within inches, and taking advantage of his montum, I lower my center of gravity and launch a sweep toward his supporting leg. My feet collide with his ankle.
Thud!
He staggers, but this guy doesn’t stop; he quickly recomposes himself again and stabilizes his stance, launching a barrage of blows with renewed ferocity.
Whoosh!!...Whoosh!!!...Whoosh !...
I dodge each one as best I can and deflect the inevitable ones; the sound of his fists cutting the air fills my ears, and I feel the pressure of his attacks on . Still I kept watching closely, watching his pattern and openings....
’Okay, one chance...Art of Lust, Fourth Posture: Eruptive Embrace.’
