Immediately after, the ground in front of him caved in as the powerful waves spread making a fan shape, and the vicinity trembled along with its rhythm.

Overconfidence!

“I caught you, you bastard!”

Class 1 basic magic that destroyed the enemy’s stance within a certain range! Normally, this should be enough to bind his opponent’s movements.

“Die!”

After being convinced that I was stunned, the warrior swung a large two-handed sword.

“… Huh?”

‘I have 10 years of PVP experience. Even though this is my first time fighting an actual battle, I am so familiar with ‘magic warfare’ that it makes me pity you.’

I had obviously met enemies who couldn’t keep up with my Flash and activated wide-range skills in front of me in advance?

“… The back!”

I had already flashed behind the warrior and swung a dagger toward the archer’s back.

However, perhaps the archer felt something was wrong, he quickly rolled over the ground to avoid my incoming strike, and fired several arrows towards me with his crossbow.

Pew! Pew!

“Ugghhh”

If I could use continuous Flash, such a counterattack could have been easily ignored, but it was currently impossible. I had no choice but to dodge the arrow by rolling even if I regretted it.

[Flash Countdown:- 2 seconds]

I hurriedly looked up and saw the warrior approaching me, while the large two-handed sword in his hand formed a huge shadow above me.

[Flash Countdown:- 1 second]

After rolling back one more time, I got up and looked in the opposite direction.

The warrior exclaimed, giving up the thought of following.

“He will Flash over there!”

They realized it, too. The direction of my gaze prior to activating Flash must have given away my location.

However.

It was just a decoy I set to make them think I was using Flash in the first place.

I turned my body once more, taking advantage of the recoil of my former roll, and fired a kick.

In response, the warrior raised his elbow in embarrassment.

'My bones!'

“Close!”

“Kyukkk…”

His elbow barely succeeded in defending him, but I suffered boundless pain as his armor cracked my shin. The warrior staggered from the impact and I activated Flash.

[Flash]

The archer, who had been firing a shot betting that I would Flash in that exact spot, widened his eyes when I suddenly approached him, and he hurriedly leaped backward.

However, the reaction was delayed because he was aiming from the crossbow.

Pukkk!

My dagger successfully pierced through the archer’s neck.

“Kwauk….”

Plump!

“Ugh….”

After the archer fell, I also couldn’t stand the pain in the shin and felt the urge to kneel down.

“Whew…….”

‘It hurts. It hurts so much that I want to cry.'

But, I gritted my teeth and struggled to endure the pain.

Looking back slowly, I found the warrior glaring at me with blazing eyes.

“You ran away like a rat who’d never fought a battle before, and then your mood suddenly changed?”

“……I did before. Thank you for letting me gain that experience.”

The reality was different from the keyboard and
mouse games. I learnt that lesson right through my cracking bones.

And, it made me realize that this world was real.

“Now that you are alone, what are you going to do? If you’re waiting for two people to come to join you and attack me at the same time, wake up from your dream.”

The warrior’s eyebrows twitched.

“You rotten child…”

“You really thought five of you would be enough to catch me. You must have never imagined it would feel so ugly to get beaten like that?”

Actually, this was a lie. I didn’t even know what they were doing. I was spouting nonsense to weaken the other party’s fighting spirit.

But, instead of getting discouraged, he raised
his two-handed sword.

My leg bones were almost broken, making me unable to move freely anymore. But, there were already too many restrictions to rely on Flash alone to win the battle.

When I tried to hide the wound on my leg and aim the dagger at his neck, he hardened his expression and covered his upper body with the shield.

… In the meantime, I was frankly admiring the guy’s ability to manage his facial expressions.

‘I guess I’m trusting that guy who’s pretending to faint behind me.’

Earlier, I had confirmed that the spearman, who was hit by my misdirected arrow in the foot, fell to the ground while sobbing.

The spearman had not yet died, nor had he lost his consciousness. My sixth sense, which became sensitive thanks to the slight delay in mana leakage, made me feel his breath clearly.

The distance between the fainted spearman and me was only three meters. If I moved even a little closer, he would be able to stab and subdue me in a single moment.

“What should I do?”

'Should I throw the dagger backward to subdue him? No, that’s not right. There is no guarantee that I will be able to kill him with my shitty aim, and the risk of losing my only weapon is high. Did I not realize it when I threw the arrow? I am a beginner with no skills at the moment.'

Even so, it was burdensome to use Flash. My distance from the warrior was only five meters.

The moment I used a backward Flash to kill that bastard, the warrior would immediately narrow down the distance. He didn’t have to cover all the eight meters.

The distance was short, and he also had magic skill that could shake the ground.

‘I must not use Flash to kill him.’

When I thought about it up to that point, I acted as if I had thoroughly calculated everything.

I lowered my center of gravity, and almost threw my legs back slightly as if I was about to charge at the warrior in front of me.

As I retreated a bit like that, the distance to the rear became closer. However, his spear hadn’t moved yet. It was a distance that barely reached the tip of the spear, but I was aiming for a more certain timing.

Though, such a golden opportunity would never return.

When my body moved, the warrior immediately reacted and slung his shield, but without using the Flash, I ran backward and stabbed the back of the spearman with the dagger held in both my hands.

Puchi!!

He died instantly without even being able to resist.

Immediately, I took the spear and stepped back slightly. The warrior, who had narrowed the distance, raised his shield again. Since the Flash still remained, it was not easy to approach me.

“This guy…!”

The warrior tried to say something, but I threw the dagger without giving him a chance to speak, and accurately aimed for the opponent's stomach.

Naturally, the warrior raised his shield and casually deflected the dagger. However, this was nothing but a preparation for what was about to come next.

I was looking at the side of the warrior. The spear rotated in my hand, taking the shape of a big swing.

As if trying to Flash behind the warrior.

At that point, the warrior made a decision.

'… Right. His forward Flash can be counterattacked by my magic, so after tricking me to defend my front with a dagger, he’s going to move to my side and aim at my back!'

The warrior immediately spun his shield behind him, and the transition was instantaneous. If his judgment was correct, I would have been aiming at his side and rushing in to attack.

'Huh?'

However, there was nothing behind him.

Because I had even expected that, and this time, I really dug into the front.

‘Shit!'

The warrior looked forward again with a desperate expression, but it was already too late.

The tip of my spear had reached his throat.

Puhhh!
