Blessing from the Goddess and Transfer to Another World! ~No Thanks, I Don’t Need a Special Ability~

.
Do you accept it?]
[Are you so confident that you’re willing to fight with S-rank adventurer? You aren’t an adventurer, so who are you?]
[Whatever… It isn’t like you need to know.]

Sebastian starts thinking, once again.

[All right.
I will fail my duty if I can’t kill you.
There is no meaning in fighting against five people and killing your friends.]
[Yeah, that is good.
So everyone, please step back.]
[[[Yes!]]]

Because I can communicate with them with telepathy, I don’t even need to order them by voice.
My friends take up a position that is about 50m away.
Support magic will be difficult to use from that distance.
There are some of Sebastian’s skills that I need to worry about.

Can cover a long distance with one step.
Movement distance is up to user.
Maximum distance is increased when level up.
Start with 5m at LV1 and 1m for each level after that.

Since Sebastian has LV7, he can move about 11m.
Since he’ll need to use several times to reach my friends, it is enough to give status to them.

[Then, should I take my weapon out, too?]

Sebastian picks a sword from space.
Is that because of and ? Both are skills that I want.
Please let me take them.

[A good sword.
It hasn’t been chipped once during my old days.]

He seems really confident.
Let’s check the status.

Soul Blade – Incompleted

Classification : Sword

Rarity : Legendary

Remark : Soul effect, increases all status, and can cut magic.

The NAME.
It was incomplete.
Is this what Japanese person made? Let’s check the detail.

Soul Blade – Incompleted

Detail : The sword from the best master blacksmith of human race.
It has the highest power for all human race, but it is still incomplete.

It has a surprisingly interesting back story.
Let’s take this sword after defeating Sebastian.
However, Legendary class… I guess it is appropriate equipment for an S-rank adventurer, but this early? It has been a few days since we started traveling.
It should be way after this in the case of a game.
Wait! This isn’t the time to be thinking about that.
I also take a stance.
It is just the Goblin King’s sword.
My equipment is far worse than his, but I don’t mind.

We face each other, and then Sebastian makes a move.

[Then, here goes!]

Sebastian, no Saladin, suddenly makes a move and approaches me with a horizontal slash.
I’m sure I would be dead if it hit me, but it isn’t like I can’t evade it.
I step back and parry it off.
And Saladin also steps back immediately.
I go a distance away and strike again.
Yeah, I can’t fight him with just a sword alone.

[I’m surprised.
This is the first time someone was able to evade my attack…]
[With that kind of skill, it is not enough to hit me.]

I already know it in advance.

[It seems that when you said you are going to defeat me wasn’t just a bluff.]
[Of course.
Is your ability only that? Did you become an S-rank by just surprise attacks?]

He doesn’t stop smiling even after my attempt at provocation.
Uh, it is impossible to make that old man angry at me, even after provoking him several times.

[Fufufu, not just this.
I still have my skill, even after I retired.]

Saladin swings his hand.
I think it was a throwing knife.
It is just amd again.
Saladin blinks closer after I dodge it to the right and follow up with the same attack.

[Die!]

I evaded it by the hairbreadth, but my clothes was cut.
There is no moment for me to be careless.
He blinked closer again after I dodged.

[Evaded again? You have good responses.
However, that knife-throwing was a great distraction, wasn’t it?]
[Whatever you say.
You human jack-in-the-box.]

Huh? What did I just say?

[It is an interesting comparison.
But my attack doesn’t end with just surprise.
[That is something amusing!]

Now it’s my turn to attack.
I will counter your knife-throwing with magic.
I take fireball spell from .
It is practically no chant.

[Hmm.]

Saladin just swung his sword.
That alone is enough to disperse my “Fireball”.
It seems that sword has the ability to cut magic, too…
Of course, it was what I expected.
I approach him while he still cuts that magic…
I couldn’t help but to stop.
Because Saladin didn’t leave any open after doing that.
He just cut my magic and turn his sword toward me.
I might receive a serious counterattack, especially if I lower my guard.

[Aren’t you coming? You movement is more and more praiseworthy.
Too bad I have to kill you.]
[Are you going to overlook me? I don’t mind, either.]

That’s a lie.
I can’t let all of those delicious skills just slip away.
I will kill you and take them all.

[That is impossible.
After all, I made a promise to Ojou-sama.]

I don’t know what kind of drama you have with that curling hair woman.
I don’t care.
 However, I won’t let you get away after becoming hostile to me.
Even moreso with that worthless reason.

[Too bad.]
[Why do you look so disappointed? You should smile.]

Oops! It shows on my face.
Oh, never mind, The play is about to end.

[Aren’t you going to end soon? Isn’t it bad to leave those girls waiting?]

Saladin nods, too.

[You are right.
I can’t make Ojou-sama wait.]

He talks, but he doesn’t leave any openings.
Of course, it’s because we don’t want to lose to each other.
Saladin blinks closer.
I don’t slash at him, but I throw a spear instead.
Saladin’s slash is too fast.
I barely have enough time to dodge it.
Saladin dodges, too, but it still leaves a mark on his butler clothes.
I invoke “Ice Barrage” immediately.

[Ugh!]

Saladin didn’t expect me to use magic in such close quarters.
An Ice Arrow grazes his left arm.
I was able to damage him, even if it was just a little.
This is the first blood in this fight.
If I keep damaging him like this, he will be defeated soon.
He moves back with Blink to gain a distance.

[I was surprised by your no-chant magic during close-quarter combat.
It seems your aim was to do this when I get closer.]

Saladin gets closer as usual and slashes.
I dodge it and counter.
My tactic hit&run is really successful against his blink attack.
My attack grazes him several times, but I also have more light cuts, too.
My graze attack doesn’t deal much damage to Saladin, but his blink attack doesn’t either.
Our situation is just sealing each other’s moves, and it continues like this for a while.
Even though I’m fighting with an S-rank adventurer, I don’t learn much from his repeating action.
Please show me something different already! I already learned how to dodge and counter his blink attacks.
I step back and start chanting.
It is .
It is a powerful range attack, but it has a long chanting time.
Saladin thought he couldn’t dodge the magic at close range, so he blinks closer to stop my chant.
…But I invoke “Firewall” from instead.
There are several faults with blinking.
For example,”You can’t dodge the obstacle between starting point and landing point.”.
Of course, Saladin knows this.
However, he didn’t expect to be hit like this while his enemy was chanting.

[Guwaa!]

Saladin hits the “Firewall” directly and gives a loud groan.
I think “Stone Wall” might knock him down.
A direct hit with stone really hurts.
Isn’t it too wasteful? I’m fighting with an S-rank adventurer.
I will be at a disadvantage if I don’t learn a trick from him.
Saladin is flinching from additional counter attack.
This time, I gave him a deep wound to his arm.

[Ga! It is still not enough…]

It can’t be helped.
Saladin blinks away, but I also blink to follow him.
This surprises Saladin, too.

[Ugh.]

My next attack lands on his leg.
It is obviously deeper than the last one.
Blood is flowing from the wound, and that greatly reduces his mobility.
Saladin also throws several throwing knives and short spears at me, forcing me to retreat.
The distance between us is around 20m.

[I never thought you could blink either…]
[Nope, I just learn from seeing you use it.]
[That is absurd…]

Saladin doesn’t believe it.
Of course, it was lie.
I only stole his while he was flinching from the “Firewall”.
 I need to concentrate in order to use the ability.
Since my enemy’s ability is too high to take his ability during the battle, I have to create the chance on my own.
However, I only get 1 level from him, but that’s enough to surprise him and deal some damage.
Saladin sighs, and his expression become serious.

[I never thought I would be driven into a corner like this.
Five minutes has already passed, so it can’t be helped.
I will have to use my last resort.]

A white aura is released from Saladin.
I see all his status is rising.
And all the wound he has are healed.

[This is a physical strength improvement skill called .
Only my apprentice, Joseph and I can use it.]

Who is Joseph?

A : A guild master.

Oh, a guild master.
Come to think of it, that is his name.
So, is this person a teacher of that guild master? I’m curious about that back story, but I’m not interested at all.
However, his status rose considerably, so it seems as though I can’t win in this state.
That can’t be helped, so let’s increase my status, too.
I take all status from everyone.
To be honest, I just fought with my own status alone.
I could have take all ability from everyone, but I wanted to gauge my own ability because there wasn’t much different in status.
Now, there is no reason to fight with lower status, especially after my opponent strengthened his own.
So my current status is now equal to Saladin’s after his recent strengthening.

[Your strengthening has ended.
Now, it’s my turn.]

I get closer and strike at Saladin with improved status.
He becomes surprised because he can’t dodge after he was strengthened.
It is possible to take some right now, but it seems I’m getting used to stealing ability from a powerful enemy right now.
After our status were improved, the fight is still the same.
Saladin blinks closer and strikes while I just dodge and counter him with sword and magic.
I keep taking his skill whenever he comes closer.
He becomes slightly weaker.
Is this the end? Is this the best you have? Is this all you have?
After I think about that, Saladin suddenly retreats and starts talking.

[Even I’m strengthened with , you are still able to fight me… Aren’t you a surprise box? I don’t think I can win if I keep going like this.
This is the first time I was driven into a corner during one-on-one combat after becoming an S-rank…]

Saladin’s aura become black while he says that.

[It can’t be helped… My real last resort.]

Saladin’s aura suddenly becomes blacker.

[Actually, this is a skill similar to called , and it was taught to an apprentice named Dorugu.
…Yes, the leader of bandits gang was my apprentice.
And strengthens more than .]

Back story again.
Did those three people have that kind of connection? But I’m not interested, at all.
I don’t care about the story of two uncles and one old man.
at all.
Saladin’s aura becomes completely black.
His status is a lot higher than before.
Did he use and simultaneously? A synergy effect?

[AND USING BOTH OF THEM AT THE SAME TIME CAN TURN MAN INTO “BEAST”.]

Saladin’s eloquence becomes worse.
This is probably because using and simultaneously is difficult, and the load on the body become bigger.
In the skill column, a topic of “Combination Skill” show ups.
It wasn’t there until now.

+ =

[I’M SORRY, BUT THIS IS THE END.]

Saladin makes his move first and get closer.
He bets everything on his best strengthen technique.
I also take all ability from everyone and charge at Saladin.
His attack is a lot faster, but I can see it all.
Since my status is 50% more than Saladin’s.
I just dodge his attack and bisect him with my status.

[NO…WAY…]

Thus, the first fight with an S-rank adventurer is finished, and my fighting power has taken a great leap.

I’m completely tired, and I couldn’t do anything at all.
Let’s return to the town and settle this, once for all.
