Taming The Villainesses

Episode 189.2

May righteous judgment be rendered before gods, people, and the law. For a trial of justice and fairness, let the duel commence!

The match began after Hynaxs speech. The arena was approximately 100 meters in size, yet it seemed incredibly narrow to me.

Meanwhile, 20 meters away from me, the Hunter was released from his shackles. 

He wiggled his hands and looked at his weapon in the arena. Speaking of his weapon, it was a belt with many daggers attached to it.

He cant use his crossbow good.

However, that wouldnt be a problem for him.

He was actually good with most weapons. He simply favored the crossbow because it was the most efficient.

Chwareureuk. 

The Hunter wrapped the belt around his waist. Then, in a cold voice devoid of emotion, he said to me. 

You didnt run away I commend you.

Seemingly aware that the match had begun, a solemn silence fell over the spectator seats.

Gulp-.

Thanks to this, I felt the illusion that there was only me and that Hunterin the world. Was this what it meant to focus solely on my opponent?

Mana Shield.

I lightly chanted.

Uuuung-. A petal-shaped shield appeared in my left hand. The number of petals now had a total of seven, which was an increase of two compared to the last time I faced Kasim.

A physical barrier that could block attacks eight times. Having such a cover brought some relief.

Seven petals? Its been a long time since Ive fought a mage like this

The Hunter exposed his sharp shark-like teeth. It was for a fleeting moment, but it looked like he smiled. 

Surung-.

He drew two daggers from his waist, one in each hand. He looked just like a giant praying mantis.

You have calmly judged the situation!

You have gained experience points through the talent Calm Thinking.

All job experience +5 

Killer mantis 

Was what I thought, as it just seemed fitting. 

A predator insect that preyed with cold ruthlessness. The two of them were similar.

I sense fear

I remained motionless, keeping a distance. But the Hunter approached me with a low and eerie voice. As he took a step closer, I instinctively stepped back.

Are you afraid of death? So, why do you stand before me? Do you trust that I will keep my promise?

The mans voice felt like sharp needles piercing me However, listening to the opponents words during a duel was a dangerous thing I shouldnt be shaken! 

With no response from me, the man chuckled softly.

Seueuk-.

And gracefully stomped the ground.

Tadadat. 

Leaving behind small particles of sand, he had suddenly come close to my face, raising the reversed dagger in his right hand with force towards my throat.

Swaak-.

The sound of the air being sliced passed by my ears. Simultaneously, a sharp clang echoed as a petal shield shattered from blocking the attack.

Whoa!

Cheers erupted from various directions.

Between the dizzying sunset and the roughened breaths, only the Hunters figure seemed vivid.

Theres a gap.

The Hunter swiftly moved his thin, long arm bringing the dagger down towards me. Thanks to this, another petal crumbled.

Five petals left.

At this pace, I was on the verge of being overwhelmed and ripped to pieces. So I quickly backed away, aimed my wand at him, and shouted.

Air Bullet-!

Pyushushuk-.

Four air bullets flew towards the Hunter. Although the bullets were invisible, he somehow dodged them all with acrobatic maneuvers.

Still, this put a bit of distance between us.

Which gave me more time to cast a big spell. However, it was not the right moment yet. So, I continued firing air bullets.

Pabababbat.

The Hunter jumped into the air to avoid it. And like a predator of the sky, he swooped down aiming for my head. 

However, as long as he was in the air, evading my magic would be impossible. I had already prepared a spell for this.

Gamigin-!

Pajijit.

A purple lightning bolt struck the airborne Hunter.

What did you do?

Landing back on the ground, he looked puzzled for not feeling any pain after being struck by lightning. Though, he soon realized the situation and the corners of his mouth raised. 

I see, I cant move my body. Ive never seen such strange magic before.

Hu-.

Instead of answering, I chose to focus on my breath. After inflicting crowd control (CC), it was the best time to do a big follow-up. 

I prepared my special spell-.

Heavenly Whirlwind Storm!

I struck down my wand, as mana simultaneously released in full force, creating a swirling vortex.

Hwiuuuu-.

The magical whirlwind was like a blade that cut down anything in its path. 

Perhaps it was because of the new Little Demon King job, the power was unexpectedly greater than I thought. The sky had become dark, and covered in thick clouds.

Even if the Hunter was strong, it would be hard to come out unscathed from a direct hit by this.

Swoosh.

The man stretched out his hands towards the raging dragon flying at him.

Excellent. Come-.

He couldnt move his body, so he was probably trying to block it with the dagger in his hand. However, he seemed somewhat pleased.

His expression facing my special move was like that of a child receiving a gift.

Kwagagagak-.

Finally, the sharp blade-like whirlwind collided with his body, producing a tearing sound akin to a grinder sharpening steel.

Amidst the sound of bandages and flesh being ripped apart, the Hunter gritted his teeth.

Ugh!

Enduring such a large-scale magic head on would not be an easy feat, even for him!
