Defeating the Event Boss

(Thank you for reading at bayabuscotranslation.com)

“Hey, hey, what’s the matter! Is that all you’ve got?” (Harold)

“Shut up!” (Despina)

30 minutes had already passed since the start of the match, yet Despina’s attacks had still not touched my body.

Still, Despina really has incredible stamina. She has continued attacking without rest during these 30 minutes. Me? Thanks to Clairvoyance, I have been dodging with minimal movement, so I am not fatigued at all. This skill is incredible. It not only improves my dynamic vision but also allows me to view the entire arena from above. What is especially notable is that I can predict attacks, or rather, see a few seconds into the future. That is why… I can know my opponent’s attacks in advance. There is no way I cannot dodge.

“Despina, I’ll say this now. If you keep going like this, the outcome won’t change. Don’t hold back at this point.” (Harold)

“!?!” (Despina)

Despina stopped moving at my words.

Yes, I know. You have the fastest skill in Engage Hazard, which dwarfs your Hexagram Lightning.

“I didn’t want to use it because I couldn’t hold back anymore.” (Despina)

“You really say that. To still have the luxury to worry about me in this situation.” (Harold)

“Of course. I don’t want to kill people for fun either.” (Despina)

There is no lie in her words. Proof of that is that although she has no way to deal with me now, she shows a hesitant expression.

“You don’t have time to care for your opponent. Both you and I are just slaves here.” (Harold)

“…” (Despina)

Upon hearing that, Despina bit her lip in frustration.

That’s right. If a slave loses, there is no tomorrow. So, even if it means swallowing mud, you have to win. If you have been a slave for ten years, you must understand that painfully well. Besides, for an event boss, you care about your opponent way too much. Attack more ruthlessly.

…Though, well, I don’t dislike that about you.

“Alright. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.” (Despina)

With determination, Despina bit her sword and got on all fours, lowering her stance. She looked exactly like a carnivorous beast.

Perhaps sensing the strange atmosphere between us, neither the referee nor the spectators made a sound. Everyone watched silently, holding their breath. Everyone except Xandra, who firmly believed in my victory.

“Come on… bring it!” (Harold)

“Here I go! Railgun!” (Despina)

Despina’s fastest deadly skill, Railgun, which makes full use of the lightning attribute’s advantage. It generates an electromagnetic field throughout the entire field, and the strike fired at supersonic speed pierces through anything like a lightning spear. In Engage Hazard, it has a 100% hit rate, ignores defense thanks to buffs, and inflicts paralysis with the lightning attribute, making it a dreadful skill that has made many players cry.

And now, I…

“No way…” (Despina)

…easily dodged it.

“Got it? None of your attacks work on me now.” (Harold)

The fastest skill Railgun, and the Hexagram Lightning that took down that beast, are only telegraphed attacks to my Clairvoyance.

Despina seemed to understand this too, as she did not attack again and instead dropped to her knees, lowering her head. Meanwhile, Xandra, who was watching the fight, gleamed with bright crimson eyes.

I’m sure she will make me spar with her later. Tough.

“What will you do? Keep going?” (Harold)

I’m confident I can keep dodging, but there is always a chance. So, please, let this end here. I beg you.

And then…

“…I lose this match.” (Despina)

Despina’s small mouth voiced her defeat regretfully.

I looked up at the sky and took a deep breath.

“Xandraaaa!” (Harold)

I shouted the name of my beloved wife, my favorite.

At that moment…

*Clink!*

The collar that had sealed my SP was cut with a sharp metallic sound.

Who did it? Of course.

“Haru-sama! Haru-sama!” (Alexandra)

It was Xandra who hugged me joyfully like this.
