Chương 307: Chapter 290. The Beginning Of The Next Round

Sarah Ericsson's Point Of View" Anna, can you heal him?"" Of course!"" Okay!" Kiss. / BING! /"!!!" Kick! /BANG! / After Anna confirmed she had enough mana to heal John up, I jumped at the chance to refresh myself. I kissed John because of my Job, Love Warrior. Out of the first 3 abilities that I unlocked, the first one that was announced to me was called Love Charge. The window's explanation was as follows.

Love Charge The very first ability of a Love Warrior! By sharing "intimate" relations with the One you Love, you can increase your Status for a time! The more intense the relations, the more of a Boost you'll receive! To see how long the effect will last, simply say the Spell's name and the amount of time left will be known!

Even with the explanation, it failed to explain that depending on how strong of an attack I use, it would actually drain my timer an equal amount. Thankfully, it hasn't been too much of an issue, since John is so "giving" towards Anna and I. The timer I had was already around 6 hours long when this whole event started. Unfortunately, my timer has shrunk to a little less than half an hour. Now with that kiss, I've brought the timer back to 30 minutes even.

And it looks like I'm going to need it, since I'll be fighting a God by myself while Anna heals John. With everything prepared for me, I launch myself and attack the enemy who made John so tired that he fainted when we arrived. My jump only lasts a few seconds and then I land in front of him. The person who nearly killed me, nearly killed us and all I could think about was how I was going to make him pay." Well, look at you. Don't you seem so confident? Don't you recall what happened before, girl?"

He talks, I don't listen. Kick! Swing! /BAM! CLANG! / I explode forward with great speed and land a solid strike into the God's stomach with my halberd. I don't send him flying, I want to crack what's left of his armor. I notice that they were able to crack his armor. If I had to guess, it took something great to do it. Just from striking the armor, I could tell that it was tough to break.

"!!!" Jump! I jump back, away from the sword strike that the God tried to catch me with." Yes, jump back. You think just because I've been fighting those ants, that means that you can just show up and defeat me? I've barely broken a sweat, girl." He speaks again, I don't care, I just need to end this quickly so I can get back to John. His armor, it's annoying. I'm going to fix that with my next swing.

I feel that familiar feeling of rage starting to grow from my chest, I remember John's face which helps calm me down. My mana is still around half full, I should be able to let loose a bit without losing all of it. I could feel the smile forming on my face as I thought about where to strike my enemy with my halberd. This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere." What reason do you have to smile?"

Again, he speaks, I just shift my feet to launch myself at him. Kick! /BAM! CLANG! / He's definitely slowed down since the last time we fought. Before, I couldn't catch him, no matter how hard I tried. Now though, my halberd's blade is making contact without much of an issue. This must be due to John and the Counts dragging the fight out and tiring him out. This was great for me, as long as I don't fall into a rage again, I should be able to win against this guy...

Maybe I shouldn't spend this much time focused on thinking? But my enemy is currently flying backwards from how hard I hit his chest with my halberd. I guess I should give chase. But I don't want to hear him speak... I guess I'll pick up the pace slightly? Kick! / Woosh! / Swing! /BAM! CLANG! /" What!?" He was shocked to find that I had already arrived next to him as I struck the armor protecting his chest again. It still seems to be too solid to break... For now.

I'll just keep hacking away if he's unable to do anything about it. That sword may be an object of concern, but with how slow he is, I doubt he'll be able to land a blow on me. Kick! /BAM! / I jump again as he flies, this time, I don't wait for him to land. Instead, I aim my blade at the top of his protected right shoulder. Thrust! /CLANG! CRASH! / Another hit, but the armor still takes the impact of my swing." H-How dare you!"

After my strike caused the momentum of his body to shift in mid-air and crashed into the ground. He rose to one knee and cursed me or some other long-winded sentence, I'm sure. Again, I'm not really here to listen to him speak, I'm quite angry at the events of this night. From kidnapping Alle and interrupting our intimate time, to sending that Butler after us and forcing us into fighting all through the night... And that's all the lesser crimes this fool has done. Swing! /CLANG! /" Ah!"

I smack him with the blunt side of my halberd. My anger has begun to rise again. I want to just sink into it and let my rage take control, but I can't. I need to keep focused. And that means planning and savoring every strike I land on this fool as revenge for what he's put us through." Why!? Why are you so fast now!?" He seemed confused about the difference between us. Does he not realize that it's because he's tired himself out from fighting John and the others?

I can feel his mana has changed since he first came here. What used to feel like an all-imposing figure, has changed to something that feels tangible. Like I'm close to being able to defeat him by myself. Sure, it's like fighting one of my Parents, but it's much better than fighting a monster like before. I'll need to thank My Love quite thoroughly when this is all over." You think just because you've increased your speed, that it'll be enough to defeat me?" Perhaps, as a God, he didn't get involved in many fights?

Gods usually don't fight after all, they sit and accept praise from their worshipers. Maybe that's why we've kept being able to survive by the skin of our teeth tonight? A lack of experience from him, that's why we've been able to survive this. That'll be why I'll be able to end this, perhaps I should aim for his head? Regardless, I can't help myself now." I think my cutting your head off is what'll allow me to defeat you. Be a good old man and die, would you?

We, the young, have things to do in the approaching morning after all."" You mock me?" He seethed and squeezed his response through his teeth. I couldn't help but smile at his response. Even though John isn't here, I'm sure he'd appreciate the sight of him being so powerless. /RUMBLE! /" You think you can mock a God!?" Seems he's angry. Now he's channeling his mana and it's beginning to cause tremors in the land around us. I decided not to wait for him to stand up and attempt something. Kick! Swing! /BAM! CLANG!

/" What!?"" You think you can keep attacking the same place and I wouldn't pick up on it!?" /CLANG! CLANG! / His speed has increased!? I don't understand! What did he just do!? Wait, his body! It's glowing!" Yes, that's right, girl. You mortals aren't the only ones capable of increasing your physical abilities! But don't worry, you won't be able to tell anyone about this anyways! Die!" / Clang! Clang! Clang!

/ His swift attack came with one strong, heavy attack after another, as it is right now, I'll be able to guard against his strikes. I need to thank my Father for his training during our preparation against the Hero Party. Without it, I wouldn't know how to deal with an enemy that moves so much faster than me. Even though it's hard, I'm just making it in time to protect myself. /BANG! BANG! / I quickly summon a blast of wind to see if I can make him give ground. /CLANG! CLANG!

/ It didn't work, I need something else to give me a moment to breathe. /WHOOSH! Bang! / And there it is! /CLANG! CRACK! Woosh! / A ball of crimson flame was launched at my enemy's face. He was hit square on it. I quickly used my halberd to slam into the armor again, this time I put my back into it and slash the armor with as much force as I could. My halberd slammed into the armor guarding his chest and I heard the sound I've been waiting to hear since I started whacking away at his armor. It finally cracked.

He flew away from me after I heard the cracking sound. I had a moment to breathe now. I looked away as he flew and saw Lady Kina smiling at me. She was with her husband and Lady Diana. I'll need to remember to thank her later.
