Chapter 651: God of Death
Against my [Gravidon], Miia reacts an instant too late. The double-layered trap of alerting her to [Gravidon] then feinting an attack with my greatsword was a success.
To deal with my greatsword, Miia had prepared [Hollowed Moon] in advance. I was confident that a swordswoman of Miia’s calibre would take even the slightest twitch of my arm into account before making a decision. That’s exactly why I’m able to pull off such an impulsive and spur-of-the-moment plan.
[Hollowed Moon] defends against all physical attacks and sets up a counterattack. It’s a powerful skill, but its power is not borne of Miia’s technique, merely its own. That’s exactly why it has a weakness that can be exploited.
“I see… I can’t avoid this completely.”
Miia mumbles expressionlessly as the black light of [Gravidon] washes over her. I don’t know if it’s merely her recognising a fact or if those words signify her surrender. She doesn’t normally let her feelings show outwardly if at all.
A thunderous roar resounds. I jump backwards following the recoil of the point-blank gravity magic detonation. Torn off by [Gravidon’s] impact, Miia’s arm lands by my side. Her actual body should have been crushed into mincemeat.
It had an effect… In the first place, as an oneiros I’m more specialised in magic than hand-to-hand combat. [Hellgate] and [Wormhole] are over-specialised and thus hard to use, and aside from [Flash That Drives Away the Darkness], [Gravidon] is my strongest attack.
Against that, Miia is in humanised form. Her HP and defence were halved, and she’s bound to have lost the use of some characteristic skills. This should have blown away all her HP in one shot, with no room for her to recover.
That should have been the case. However, the notification of experience points doesn’t come.
