Chapter 433: Let It End With This
“Boring tricks!”
The slime raises its remaining sword high. I flap wings in the air and send the created wind down my right foreleg to shoot a blade of wind. It’s the [Wind Slash] skill.
It won't deal do damage, but if I did nothing, I'd just receive the slime's hits.
“That skill is not just yours!”
The slime uses the wings sprouting from its lower scorpion half to push the wind, directing it towards me from a hand that was freed when my partner took the swords. The blade of wind hits my [Wind Slash] and they cancel out.
Cheh! It matched my skill to precisely intercept it.
Behind the cancelled-out [Wind Slash], I see the slime already swinging its sword. A [Shockwave] is coming! A wide slash flies towards me. An attack that big at this distance is unavoidable. Damn it, the gap between attacks is too short!
I can’t afford to get hit directly. I abandon evasion, curling up my body into a ball to block as much as I can. But if this is all I do, I won’t be able to respond to the slime’s follow-up attacks.
Suddenly, an idea pops into my mind. With [Roll], I might be able to negate some of the force of the [Shockwave] through the speed of my rotation, and once I land I can run away while minimising my openings. Balled up, I begin to roll forwards.
