Chapter 691: Corrosive Bombardment
I have succeeded in damaging Jornes. I know how to get past her counter skills. I need to take advantage of my speed to control the tempo while efficiently bombarding her with magic attacks. As long as I can manage that and keep the damage I take to a minimum, I should be able to win this battle of attrition.
The crack in Jornes’ surface is rapidly closing. She has [Automatic HP Recovery], [Ultraregeneration], and [Autoregeneration] after all. But, this should be draining her MP reserves. I’ll keep on wearing her down!
『[Chant Return]… [Curse Knight].』
Pale light shines from Jornes, which forms into the figure of a horseback knight.
[Chant Return] allows her temporarily acquire any magic skill she sees. She chose to copy my [Curse Knight] right away, but…
『Sorry, but I have confidence in my speed!』
Keeping my distance, I fly in a circle to avoid the [Curse Knight].
After having flown away for a while, it becomes easy to read the [Curse Knight’s] trajectory. To catch up with me, it can’t afford to take any detours. It’ll come by the shortest route. In other words, it’s directly behind me.
I release a backwards [Wind Slash]. It slices the [Curse Knight’s] body in two, dispersing it into motes of white light.
