However, Vali easily avoided and dodged my tackle! Not yet!
I regained my balance in mid-air and dived again at Vali who had just dodged! I extended Ascalon from my gauntlet and unleashed an attack with my unskilled weapon!
However, I couldn’t manage to land a single hit with only my mere swinging slashes on Vali as he dodged with light movements.
[Vali, that sword carries dragon-slaying powers. If it hits just once, you’ll undeniably receive great damage.]
“Is that so, Albion. But there’s no meaning if it doesn’t hit!”
Just as he says, I won’t be able to even graze him with my skill. Damn it! If it’s like this, I should have learned more swordplay from Kiba! Next time I’ll train seriously!
In this Balance Breaker state, it’s temporarily possible to use my doubling ability whenever and however I want.
[However, every time you use it your stamina or magical power will be consumed. The doubling ability will proportionally take away stamina to how high it is. That’s my original Balancer Breaker ability. Although this is a temporary Balance Breaker state, wouldn’t you just be committing an act of folly by exhausting the power that maintains your armour with just one use? Even the bracelet you got from Azazel has its limits. Every time you use it, the time for using Balance Breaker will decrease.]
So even just maintaining this state uses up stamina! Vali’s side must have a lot of surplus!
[Your opponent Vali seems to have a tremendous amount of magic power. As a paired existence, the Hakuryuukou will also shave off power every time he uses his ability, but if the host’s stamina is great, then the time in which he can use it will also be enormous.]
Tch…! What an unpleasant reality! The difference in power between me and Vali is decisive! As I thought, I’m a lot weaker! That’s obvious. He has a complete Balance Breaker. I on the other hand got a lot of help and have a Balance Breaker that is severely limited. No, before that, me and that guy—our basic specs are too different!
Don!
Guhah…! At that instant, I choked. A heavy-fisted blow hit me in the chest! Heavy! Rather, it was too fast for me to see. What a shot! My legs trembled from just this! T-There was also a crack in my armour! If I receive many of these kinds of hits, it'll abruptly be over!
“So this is my rival! Hahahaha! How embarrassing! Weak! Too weak!”
Vali harshly made fun of me. But, I really did feel that way.
“Ise!”
Buchou seemed worried as she watched me. I don’t want to show an uncool appearance in front of the woman I fell in love with!
I was born between parents from ordinary families, was reborn as a devil, and by chance obtained the power of a dragon.
He was born with the lineage of the Old Maou and got the power of a legendary dragon.
There is no talent in me. And in him, there is an overflowing amount of talent.
The strongest host that can control the power of his Sacred Gear, the ideal existence. That is certainly Vali.
[Divide!]
I heard a voice from the Hakuryuukou’s gauntlet, and my power instantly vanished. Did he have my power!? Was it activated from the blow I received to my chest before!?
[Boost!]
However, I also activated my own Sacred Gear and my power was restored.
[Partner, the power that was halved was restored by my power, but—. The [Vanishing Dragon]’s other ability is troublesome.]
Ddraig, what do you mean?
[That guy halves his opponent’s power and then adds the decreased portion of power to himself. In other words, you’re power is taken away and turned into his own power. Stamina can’t be recovered. It’s only power to the end.]
T-Then, even if I reset from the minus, that guy will become plus!?
[That’s right. However, no matter how amazing the host is, he has a limit. Power that goes beyond his capacity is released from the wings of light on his back and he keeps maintaining his power limit without destroying his body.]
So then he always kept his power at its peak without bursting and destroying himself…
