held out, the victory would be ours.

However, the war of attrition was hard with him as my opponent.
Slashes with so much power put into them were my biggest weakness.
I couldn’t even ward them off, let alone block.

My only choice was to dodge them.

If my gauntlets were with me a bit longer, I would have a way to fight.

“A bit longer—?”

At that moment, I suddenly had a faint revelation.

I only had one piano thread with me, however, there were surely other threads around.

For example, my hair.
If I pulled them out, couldn’t they serve as threads?

No, I don’t think my hair would be strong enough to do the job.
But now that I realized that it was possible, I decided to change perspective to the inside of my body.

Maybe muscles, or nerves, or even blood vessels.

They were mostly composed of fiber.

My Gift of Thread Manipulation worked through contact.
In other words, I should be able to meddle with the insides of my body without any limits.

As I was focused on thinking, my feet stopped for a moment.
And Mateus wasn’t one to miss that opening.

Once again, attacks from two sides rushed towards me.
His attacks weren’t so fast that I couldn’t follow, but the centrifugal force made them extremely heavy.

I couldn’t possibly stop them with a single piano thread.

Thus I directed my consciousness within me and tried to manipulate my muscle fibers.
It was something I just thought up with no real proof that it would work, but there was a clear response.

I immediately swung my arm upward and flicked off his right sword.

It gave off a sound that was a mix of breaking and crushing.
My fist landed on the side of his sword and successfully flicked it upward.

However, the price I had to pay for that stunt was not light.

After all, it wasn’t as if I was strengthening my entire body.
My right fist broke, and the index finger got bent in the direction it wasn’t supposed to bend.

I forced myself to endure the shock that spread through my body.
There was his other sword to dodge.

His blade continued to approach.
Since my right arm was facing upward, I could not avoid it by ducking underneath.
That only left the option to dodge it from above.

Thus, I kicked the ground and jumped over the sword with a backflip.

I landed on the ground with a roll, which would normally have left a big opening.
However, Mateus couldn’t just keep throwing his attacks like nothing, either.

Because his right sword got flung upwards, it failed to offset the force of his left sword and his body got twisted in a grand manner.

Thanks to that, he couldn’t follow up with another attack and I gained a little time.

I used that opportunity to sever the pain nerves of my right arm from within, as they were starting to flood my brain.
It was just simple anesthesia, so Maria should be able to easily heal it along with the injuries.

Along with my free treatment, the pain spreading through my right arm disappeared as if it never existed.

Mateus, on the other hand, was frozen in place with a shocked face.
It was supposed to have been a decisive blow, so he couldn’t believe I managed to overcome it.

Not to mention, I was composedly confronting him despite my right hand being in tatters.
There was no way he could see this as normal.

Making use of his shock, I withdrew even farther behind and fully fixed my posture.
And thus, the situation had entered an even bigger deadlock
