　Success.

　I looked down at the fallen Cecil from the top of the Valkyrie to make sure that my attack had made it through.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He was strong.

　The pure white knight who calls himself Cecil the Knight of Thunderlight is beyond reproach.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Of course, there was the fact that the equipment he was using was superior.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But I have the impression that he was even more formidable in the way that he never let his guard down.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I think that those who have more magical power than others are always looking down on others.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Especially if there is a difference in the amount of magic power they were born with, their rating with others is already finished from the moment they were born.

　I don't know where Cecil is from, but if he is so strong in the East, he must be from a very famous family.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He must have been surrounded by servants since he was a child.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　People who have overwhelming differences from others can be careless.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Especially if they are obviously inferior, they may not even think of us as the same person.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I have met people like that in the House of Lords of Brillia.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If you are stuck in that kind of common sense, you will be less cautious of them because of the huge gap in ability.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But Cecil was not like that.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He has a high amount of magic power and excellent equipment.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But he had strengthened himself to the point that I thought it was too much for him to defeat me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　With the power of the equipment he probably obtained in the labyrinth, I would have been defeated in a normal fight.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　One of the reasons why this did not happen was the presence of Ian, the warrior of Atmos.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Cecil's goal in strengthening himself was Ian, not me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Considering the fact that he was going to fight against Ian, he was probably worried about stopping his self-enhancement against me in the middle of the fight.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And he did not want to get even a little wounded.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Therefore, I think he wanted to beat me and challenge Ian as safely as possible without any loss.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　For Cecil, who never let his guard down and strengthened himself to the maximum, that was the only opening he had.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He wanted to win without getting hurt as much as possible.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　That's why he only counterattacked my attack and didn't come to decide the match at once.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　That's where he took advantage of me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Even with our original amount of magical power, we had lost to Cecil.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, this time I was able to counter him because I had collected a large amount of blood from the battlefield.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　We used the magic of blood to keep the game competitive.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And my goal was to strengthen myself.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In other words, I was aiming for Cecil's blood.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I don't know how much Cecil's enhanced state affects his blood.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I thought that perhaps Cecil's body, which has been strengthened to the point of being called "lightning," might also possess a large amount of magical power.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This is because it is quite difficult to strengthen the body.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Even if he could simply draw out more power than usual from his muscles, the body itself would not be able to sustain it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The reason is that you will get injured by your own monstrous strength.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　To prevent this, it is necessary to increase the endurance of the body.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And that too evenly.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In that case, what should we do?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The best way to build a body that can withstand the increased power would be to use magic power.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In other words, the stronger he gets, the more his whole body is protected by magic power to defend itself from the power.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And I thought that the blood in his body must contain such a large amount of magic power.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I collected blood using the fresh-blooded Norns during the battle here in the Ixchel Plains.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　As a result, I came to a conclusion.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If we talk about efficiency alone, it is better to take the magic power from the blood of one very strong person than to collect blood from the whole battlefield.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And the man in front of me, Cecil, is increasing his magical power as time goes by.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　So, once I knew what he was capable of, the purpose of my fight shifted from victory to the absorption of blood.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, there is a problem here.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Even though I was trying to increase Cecil's magical power for the sake of efficiency, I had to cross swords with my opponent at my own peril.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　We cannot afford to be killed in the process.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　So, we desperately tried to hold on to them while using the power we had already gathered.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, even if I strengthened him to the maximum, it would be meaningless if he could not absorb the blood from Cecil.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　On the contrary, it might have been an act of creating a strong enemy for Ian, and he might have become a war criminal.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Therefore, he was preparing while fighting to finish his opponent with a single blow.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I thought about it as I clashed the magic sword and the great sword during the battle.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　How can I beat Cecil?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The opponent keeps getting stronger.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　An opponent who never knows how strong he can get.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　To win against such an opponent, we must prepare a move that can beat him no matter how much he has been strengthened.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　That's why I chose the kryptonite attack.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　No matter how strong a human body is, it must have some weak points.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Weaknesses are certain to exist in some areas, and these are the areas to be targeted.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The blood mist was used as a means to achieve this.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In fact, the Black Death Butterfly had been quietly created along the way.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　While being blown to and fro by Cecil's attacks, I created a jet-black butterfly that my opponent could not see, and mixed it with my blood.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The Black Death Butterfly sucks my blood and spreads it around.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　By doing so, it can envelop the whole area in a mist of blood.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This mist of blood is not just a liquid, of course.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is because it is my blood that is contained in the Black Death Butterfly.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In other words, the blood mist is made of miniscule norns.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Therefore, I could know the location of the people inside the blood mist even if I could not see them.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But this time it does not stop there.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Before, all I could do with the blood mist was to block my vision and locate my opponent, but the magic power and blood that has increased to the point that I can use [Recovery] has given me new power.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　By understanding the distribution of magic power in the opponent's body through his blood, I was able to find his weak points.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The rest is easy.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Once I found a weak point in Cecil's body, I thrust a spear made of blood into it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This is another thing I can do now that I have more power.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Until now, the reddish-black magic stone had been used as the nucleus to create the fresh blood soldiers, but the blood spears that appeared for a moment could be generated from the blood mist without using the magic stone.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　My blood, which was on the inside of the blood mist, materializes as a blood spear to pierce the weak point of the opponent, and attacks.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It does not matter if I am wearing armor.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Rather, I will be attacked from the inside of my armor, which will surprise me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It seems that even the knight of [Thunderbolt] could not help himself.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Spears of blood protrude from all over his body, and he is unable to move.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, this is not a method that can be used so easily.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　We need to prepare ourselves by searching for his weak points by sending out a blood mist, and if he knows how to attack us, he may be able to evade us.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If they leave the place as soon as they see the blood mist and use a life magic (washing), the blood spear won't be triggered.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If Cecil had noticed that, this attack might not have worked and we might have lost.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Well, but that's okay.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I'm the one who wins.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Cecil lies motionless on the ground.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I thrust the magic sword Norn into his body again.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Norn drinks the blood with a mouthwatering gurgle.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Through the Norn, a large amount of magical power flowed into me.
