Chapter 85: - The Second Floor - 『Mirror Knight』③
Chapter 85: - The Second Floor - 『Mirror Knight』③
Still using [Stealth], I ran away from the enemy at full speed and in less than a few seconds, I arrived at the edge of the floor.
Although I succeeded in opening about more than 100 meters distance between the Mirror Knight and me, this was just a temporary thing.
"This is"
A feeling of discomfort assaulted me as if there was something formless crawling on my body. This was undoubtedly the feeling of when one has touched other people's magic power. And in this place, there was only Mirror Knight beside me. Which made it easy to guess what the Mirror Knight just did.
"It must be Enemy Detection."
[Enemy Detection] was the only skill I had that spread my own magic power to the surroundings to search for enemies. The Mirror Knight probably used [Enemy Detection] all over this floor in order to find me who disappeared from its sight.
As proof, the Mirror Knight went exactly in my direction without even needing to look around anymore.
"It has found me, huh."
While looking at the enemy who was approaching at a high speed, I readied the Nameless Sword and the Flashsword. In the end [Stealth] only works for less than 10 seconds.
"Aaaaaaaaaaa!"
"You think I'll take it!"
Once again, I paper-thinly dodged the enemy's attack which probably uses [Superhuman Strength] and [Gale] at the same time. Then, when a gap was created_
"Here you go."
"!?"
I used the explosive magic stone for a second time. And when we lost sight of each other because of the smoke,
"Stealth"
I disappeared from the enemy's sight and run toward the corner of the floor again.
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaa!"
Albeit delayed for a few seconds, the Mirror Knight approached me with a loud roar coming out of its mouth after using [Enemy Detection]. It also seemed to be somewhat dominated by anger.
"Looks like my plan is working."
Looking at the angered Mirror Knight, I laughed a little.
After that, the exchange between me who used [Stealth] with the same method over and over again with the Mirror Knight who used [Enemy Detection] to find me continued for some time.
By the way, concerning explosive magic stones, I could use them without hesitation because I have collected a considerable amount of them when I was capturing Kenzaki Dungeon before.
Then, one hour since the fight that looked like a cat-and-mouse game at first glance started, the awaited moment arrived all of a sudden.
"Aaaaaaaaa__-?"
The movement of the Mirror Knight who was chasing me suddenly slowed down. The Mirror Knight himself also stopped as if confused.
"It's finally come!"
Looking at the confused Mirror Knight, I rushed to it while expressing my delight after powerfully kicking the floor. I put the Flashsword back to the [Item Box] and slashed with only the Nameless Sword.
"Haaaaaaaa!"
"!"
The Mirror Knight also tried to respond to my attack but unlike before, I was clearly overpowering the enemy. The powerfully swung Nameless Sword flipped the Mirror Sword and directly attacked the enemy's armor.
Why did I become the dominant one in the fight all of a sudden?
The answer was simple. This was because the Mirror Knight had run out of MP and couldn't use [Superhuman Strength] and [Gale] anymore. Of course, I still could use those two skills.
Why did only the Mirror Knight who ran out of MP while mine still remains? There were two factors that made this possible.
The first one was the ability of the Mirror Sword.
_____
Mirror Sword
A sword created mirroring the Nameless Sword
Recommended level to use: 6000
Attack Power +6000
+56% to all statuses except HP and MP when fighting higher level enemies (Recommended level to subjugate).
_____
As described in the last sentence, the Mirror Swordin addition, the Nameless Sword, could raise all statuses except HP and MP putting it the other way around, the HP and MP haven't increased at all.
On the other hand, I had raised the level of [Magic Power Increase] from Lv 2 to Lv 5 on the first floor. And that was the second factor. Because the mirrored status was my status before entering the Isolated Demon Tower, and it couldn't mirror even the change I made after challenging.
And I who judged that the amount of MP was the only aspect of me that could beat the Mirror Knight decided to use it as a weapon.
If I make the enemy run out of MP causing it to be impossible for it to use [Superhuman Strength] and [Gale], it would be possible to fight on more than equal grounds against the Mirror Knight.
That's why I forced the enemy to use wide range [Enemy Detection] to make it consume its MP. Of course, the MP consumption also increased depending on the range. Therefore, I had to keep running to the corner of the floor.
The situation where the Mirror Knight ran out of MP could finally come after repeating that method many times. And this opportunity absolutely cannot be missed!
"Eat this!"
"_!?"
Although the Mirror Knight desperately gripped its sword trying to defend itself, I could lightly flick it. Actually, while running away using [Stealth], I secretly raised the level of [Superhuman Strength] from Lv 6 to Lv 7 which also increased my attack power by that amount.
Thus, there was no way the enemy who couldn't use any skills could defend against this!
"Uooooooooooo!"
Judging that this was the final stage, I kept attacking the Mirror Knight without giving it any chance to counter-attack.
Flick the sword, smash the armor, and cut its joints. And finally, the final moment has arrived.
To the Mirror Knight who had lost one arm and even dropped its sword to the ground, I give it the finishing blow.
"This is the end!"
"Aaaaaaaa_"
The swing of the Nameless Sword diagonally cut the Mirror Knight's body in a flash. And the Mirror Knight whose body split in two collapsed on the spot.
Then, the sound of the system reverberated in my mind.
Experience acquired Level has increased by 26
The second floor Quest Mirror Knight has been cleared
The second floor capture reward Level has increased by 100
While listening to the sound of the system, I looked at the disappearing Mirror Knight with a sigh of relief.
".I managed to win somehow."
Like that, I successfully broke through the second floor.
