Chapter 39.2. Fighting Magic Machines

-Examine-

Baphomet Level 20

He’s a good fighter. He’s about the same level as the adventurers in my guard.

“Come at me!”

I also readied my dagger and attacked him. It’s an Iron Dagger made from magic stone and leftover magic iron. It’s stronger than copper.

“Eat this!”

He’s using a rapier that specializes in stabbing attacks. Baphomet moves in for a quick jab and then delivers a series of blows.

“What!”

I repel multiple thrusts with my dagger. The rapier is close to me, and it makes a whistling sound, but just before the rapier’s tip hits me, I twist my body and hit it with my dagger to repel it.

A metallic clanging sound is heard, and a fierce exchange of blows ensues.

“You brat! How good you are!”

“Well, thanks.”

Baphomet, probably intending to feint, looks surprised at my dagger arm and swings his rapier to the side.

With a thump, I jumped back, ducking the attack and smiling.

Inwardly, I thought about how the game’s specifications would change in reality.

In the game, if I chose to attack, the attack would hit each other with little or no misses. In reality, however, it was a battle. It seems that speed is the key, and the difference in skill determines whether or not the attack hits.

I think it’s thanks to my proficiency that I’m good at manipulating daggers. In the game, special skills, magic, and physical abilities only increased, but as the name suggests, proficiency in dagger skills. Every time my job got higher, my skills improved without my permission.

When I was practicing hard with a stuffed animal at home, I didn’t understand how good am I. It’s dangerous to train in the dungeon with Yamiyo, so I use a mace.

But now I can feel it. I, who have never held a dagger before, could fight enemies calmly. In the game, proficiency in the real world increases the ability to manipulate weapons, which is the job’s unique skill.

It doesn’t feel strange. I remembered it from the beginning. It’s indeed the power of the game that resides in me. I don’t know. My game power is not as cool as a dragon’s crest or something like that.

Baphomet and I both get more cuts from cutting each other. I, who specializes in speed, could keep up with him, who uses wind magic to boost his speed.

“This guy doesn’t feel any pain, do you?”

Baphomet, who had pierced my shoulder with his rapier and made a cut, was surprised. Of course, it hurts. I don’t show it.

I don’t care if my shoulder is bleeding. I unleash the dagger without worrying about it.

“You look like you’re in pain.”

I enter Baphomet’s bosom, which has shown a slight opening due to his agitation, and slash at his torso with my dagger. The magic barrier blocked the attack, but my attack reached the Baphomet’s skin and grazed it slightly.

“HURT!! You brat! How can you get past my magic barrier? It’s the latest model!”

Startled by the pain, Baphomet moves more and more slowly. It’s 1 damage. Don’t be so upset.

Baphomet. Though he has the advantage in a fight, he takes a big step backward as he flies with the wind on his legs. He’s scared. He’s pathetic.

“I’ll clean it up with magic!”

He turns his palm up and tries to use his magic with a devilish look.

“Die!”

[Storm Wind Blade]

As the magic circle is drawn before Baphomet’s hand, several winds reverse, have physical mass, and fly as blades. The small blades grew to like the guillotine blades a meter long and came at me.

I inhale and use [Defend]. The blade of wind slices through my body, splattering fresh blood. It’s a bad wind to cut a beautiful girl, Miu. I should have at least rolled up my skirt.

“What the!? Just a graze! That’s ridiculous!”

It’s the magic that sliced my friends just now. He must have had a certain amount of confidence in it. He’s staring at me with a shiver in his mouth.

“No, no, that’s hurt pretty bad. If I hadn’t used [Defend]. I might have taken a lot of damage.”

[Get hit by Storm Wind Blade, Received 11 damage!]

I was damaged even though I had no shield and used [Defend]. The [Defense] command cuts the enemy’s attack by 1/3. If I have a shield, it’s 1/6. If I had to take it, I would have lost more than half of my HP.

“Well then, I guess it’s my turn.”

Baphomet’s confused. There are a lot of gaps. And he shouldn’t get spaced out with me.

[Hide II]

There’s a difference in level, but it won’t be a problem. My proficiency will close the gap.

When using [Hide Ⅱ], Miu disappears as if blending into the air. She succeeded in ‘hiding’.

“Hey! Disappeared? [Hiding]! Damn, where are you? Where are you?”

He isn’t equipped to see through the invisible. Baphomet looks around and makes an impatient face.

It’s because you need to keep your distance in front of [Thief]. Now it’s my turn.

Hiding in the space, Miu peeled her double teeth and grinned like a fierce animal aiming for its prey.
