Those knives were attached with a magic stone that depicted with a magic formation of [Impact]. The mechanism of the magic stone is, after it is fully filled with my mana, it will emit substantial impact together with the magic stone’s disintegration after several seconds. It is something similar to a delayed time bomb.
That impact, if it included the last bullet that I shot, there were five simultaneous shocks on the huge boulder. The huge boulder made a roaring sound, broke due to multiple impacts from inside and was scattered.
{{…}} (Magna/Mark)
{Sirius-sama… Aah, I’m charmed…} (Emilia)
“Aniki-! You’re the best-!” (Reus)
It wasn’t possible to break it into pieces. When I look at Rodwell while repelling sizable falling rocks myself, he had smile on his whole face and was laughing without minding the public eye. Hmmm, he seems satisfied after all.
“Hu…huhuhu! Isn’t that amazing! To destroy huge boulders with [Impact] while making use of tools… The possibilities of magic are endless!” (Rodwell)
“…This is a bad timing to be delighted but I have one thing to say, is that alright?” (Sirius)
“What is it?” (Rodwell)
“The fight is not over yet.” (Sirius)
When I snap my fingers after completing the preparation, several sonic boom echoed from hillocks which elevated next to Rodwell. That’s the [Impact] that I set up when running around the wall. After the huge boulder shattered, I extended the [String] and invoked it. It was unnecessary to snap the finger but that was for petty act.
It looks like remote controlling the time bomb and since I have calculated and arranged the angle, it will fall off soon.
Speaking of what is going to fall down, of course…
“O, ooo!? It’s a rock!” (Rodwell)
It wasn’t the size that was dropped onto me but I broke a part of the huge boulder earlier and made a big rock to fall. It was fine to be delighted but not when you have that rock as an opponent. I absolutely need to return the favor.
“Kuh! [Wind]” (Rodwell)
He directed wind onto himself at that spur of moment and jumped and he seemed somehow managed to avoid the rock.
The falling rock broke on the ground surface, creating enormous cloud of dust and blocked the vision. However, Rodwell’s laughter wasn’t lessened even in that situation.
“Huhuhu… yeah, right. It’s true that the battle is not over yet. Aah, I never thought such thing is possible. You are really amazing.” (Rodwell)
“Thank you!” (Sirius)
“Have you come after all!?” (Rodwell)
I got close straight away within the cloud of dust but Rodwell moved calmly while laughing and threw a right hand punch. That single blow was sharp, as he threw at the speed where the fist couldn’t be seen…
“It’s just fast!” (Sirius)
Previously, my kick was avoided because I was careless but I am certainly better at close combat battle. When I avoided Rodwell’s launched fist in a hair’s breadth, he threw his left hand fingers at me without a moment of delay.
“Air Shot-…” (Rodwell)
“This is it!” (Sirius)
I pushed aside the arm which was going to shoot [Air Shotgun] with my elbow. Then, I pulled out the knife and pushed it with underhand at Rodwell’s neck.
“If it’s in close proximity, a knife is faster than a firearm.” (Sirius)
It is a checkmate.
While it wasn’t still visible to the surroundings because of the cloud of dust, Rodwell closed his eyes after feeling the coldness of the knife and then he smiled at me.
“It’s…my lost, isn’t it?” (Rodwell)
