Chapter 236: On the day arrived in Virgo, end up using trump card…

"Though incomplete stun state, done terribly to the degree of becoming sandbag. Normalization... about thirty seconds more take."

Hearing Marky’s words, Johnny clicked tongue.

"Rest assured, this kid Mickey’s Decelerator seems unable to release. Already nothing can do."

With such words, Marky soothed Johnny.

(Already feeling won!)

Regrettably, he spat words in heart.

(Anyway, within thirty seconds more, have to somehow!)

While flustering, he desperately considered measures to somehow get through this situation. But unable to think of decent breakthrough measure, he.

No choice, he tried Null Fire again. But in the column of grant magic able to release, the magic name Decelerator not displayed. He became situation close to checkmate.

Johnny and companions floating triumphant expressions and brewing atmosphere feeling margin. Already he nothing able to do, and after Johnny returned from stun state to normal state, just beat him, convinced.

(What to do?)

Null Fire useless, other decent breakthrough measures not floating, so he state close to checkmate. Feeling unpleasant sweat spraying from whole body skin, still he desperately turned head and continued devising measures.

Still, decent breakthrough measures not floated in his head. Regarding breakthrough measures in decent meaning.

If not decent breakthrough measures, already one he thought. The measure relying on the trump card that could be said last means as much as possible not wanting to use, Leonization.

If using Leonization, level rises twenty or more. If current him level 20 using, level 40 or more... surely able to reach intermediate level.

If so, the Decelerator used by the brown hair magician... Mickey of same degree level, high possibility of him able to release with Null Fire. Currently, level difference about double, so his Null Fire unable to release Mickey’s Decelerator.

But if using Leonization and his level becoming 40 or more, high possibility of able to release Mickey’s Decelerator. From Mickey’s own statement, understood Mickey’s level same as Johnny’s level 41, he.

(On the day arrived in Virgo, end up using trump card...)

In a wilted mood, he slowly extended right hand to the orb. Then, at that time about to open mouth to activate Leonization, abnormality occurred.

Sound similar to gunshot resounded, and his body received impact. From behind shot... rather, received impact as if strongly struck.

(Attack? No, different!)

Why did he judge the impact received on body not attack? The reason because immediately after receiving impact, the scene of the Decelerator magic’s grant seal deployed at feet flashily shattering reflected in eyes.

As if dropping large flat plate on floor and breaking, the red light constituting the grant seal scattered like broken plate fragments. The light droplets that were grant seal melted into air and disappeared.

When grant magic released, grant seal shatters and disappears. Someone released Decelerator against him by some means, so Decelerator’s grant seal vanished.

(This... chance!)

He stopped using Leonization and instantly took action. First, strongly struck the nearby swordsman’s wrist with left hand’s hand knife.

The swordsman raised scream, while flying white spark-like aura droplets dropped the sword from hand. Since activated Aura Mail, not injured body damage, but unable to endure intense pain and unintentionally released the sword.

He slammed punch and kick rush on the swordsman. Careless, delayed reaction, and further released the sword, the swordsman without decent countermeasures, while scattering aura light became exactly sandbag state.

Mickey who moved toward Johnny’s side noticed him attacking the swordsman and hurriedly began chanting magic spell.

(What magic?)

Unlike when received Decelerator earlier, this time Mickey inside his vision. He not missing Mickey’s magic activation.

Whether attack magic or grant magic, this time not receiving, he cautioned toward Mickey. While continuing attack on the swordsman.

In a flash, Mickey finished chanting spell, and the magic circle at feet shattered and disappeared. Then, not only Mickey but covering Johnny and companion magician, transparent dome-shaped defensive barrier appeared.

What Mickey used was defense magic.

"As expected intermediate, that thickness defensive barrier creating in an instant."

The defensive barrier probably about ten centimeters thickness, junior magicians he often party with for work unable to deploy in short time. Since appeared in a flash, he honestly admired.

"While now, quickly do something about stun state!"

While raising voice with impatience, Mickey declared to Marky and Johnny.

(No way make do something.)

While muttering in heart, looking at the swordsman’s state, he stopped attack.

(This guy already not seeming able to fight, so fine leaving.)

The swordsman accumulated Stun Effect to a degree, though still conscious, judged not state able to properly fight, he. He swept the swordsman’s feet and made fall on the spot.

Then, he generated aura and released dazzling flash from body. When light settled, immediately released Stun Blow and activated Burst Strike, this time glowing only both hands and both feet.

Toward the defensive barrier, he dashed and as is without killing momentum struck the defensive barrier with all might with right fist. The shining right fist clad in aura granted destruction effect directly hit the defensive barrier.

Collision sound resounded, and the surrounding air shook. Like cracks entering window glass, on the whole transparent defensive barrier like thick glass, spider web-like cracks ran, and while scattering fragments shattered.

Countless fragments of the shattered defensive barrier like powdered glass fragments while emitting light as if melting into atmosphere vanished. The defensive barrier Mickey created completely destroyed by his Burst Strike one blow.

"My... my defensive barrier... in one blow..."

Witnessing the scene of the defensive barrier protecting selves completely shattered in one blow, Mickey astonished. Realizing the height of attack power the enemy in front of own eyes has, Mickey’s face twitched with fear.

Johnny still in stun state and Marky concentrating on Normalization also floating expressions mixed with surprise and fear, staring at his figure. Reaching this stage, the two realized selves completely cornered.

Johnny knowing Mickey’s defensive barrier ability. Then, witnessing the scene of him completely destroying in one blow the defensive barrier even self unable to destroy in one blow.

That was why even if noticing Stun Effect’s existence, realized him opponent self cannot win, Johnny. Already even the will to put up empty bravado vanished from Johnny.

(Ah, won.)

From the three’s expressions and attitudes, sensed the fighting will vanished, he. Not even appearance of trying to use some skill for fighting, not even appearance of bracing, he not able to visually confirm.

"Continue? Or, admit defeat and run?"

To show able to enter attack anytime, while bracing, he added in intimidating tone.

"Well, as long as not paying what to pay to that porter, no intention to let escape."

"Pay! Pay so, forgive!"

Mickey hurriedly took out several Deil bills from inside pocket.

"Now... just sold magic stones and items obtained in dungeon to guild’s branch office!"

In Dungeon Gate Park, several guild’s large vehicles stopped. These vehicles guild’s branch offices, and also doing magic stone and item purchase.

Mickey and the swordsman youth temporarily separating from Johnny and Marky was to cash the things obtained in dungeon.

"Total ninety thousand Deil, dividing by five heads, so porter’s share eighteen thousand Deil!"

Together with Deil bills took out paper slip, the specification regarding purchase received when selling things to guild, Mickey handed to him.

"For one day’s earnings little, but not deceiving! Today really unable to earn!"

He looked through the purchase specification and confirmed numbers as Mickey said written. While returning the purchase specification to Mickey, he declared.

"Hand over eighteen thousand Deil, me pass."

Mickey handed the eighteen thousand Deil portion from the taken out bills to him.

(If this earnings in one day, considering Virgo’s prices, quite tough feel.)

While confirming the received Deil bills, he muttered in heart.

"...Eighteen thousand Deil, certainly received."

In strong tone, he declared.

"While my mood not changing, quickly disappear!"

The completely intimidated Mickey and them received luggage from the porter and in crawling state retreated. Unlike Johnny who somehow recovered from stun state, the swordsman still unable to properly move alone, Mickey and Marky supporting body and taking away.

The quarrel provisionally settled, and the spectators watching him and them from afar while stirring scattered. Adventurer quarrels and such not rare in Virgo, so if settled not thing to stay.

"Don’t know who, person who broke Decelerator, thank you! Thanks to that saved!"

Thinking someone who helped self should be among the leaving adventurers, he loudly said thanks. Then, toward the porter in blue martial arts uniform, he approached.
