Chapter 165: Fighting Luiz
I aimed Victogun at Luiz and shoot one sharp rock as a bullet at him. He just calmly built an Ice Wall to protect himself.
"That doesn't seem to be the work of that magic tool. Neither it was from a wind magic. My guess is it was from your air magic, right? How did you do it?"
Yeah, people in this world doesn't know about compressing air. I also know about it from Victoria who came from another world. If not for her, I wouldn't be able to do it.
And I have no intention telling this guy about it. He can just keep thinking about what air magic can do. His curiosity might led him to be distracted. I'm hoping for that chance.
For now, I should keep moving while attacking him.
I keep my legs moves as I also hide from time to time when he's about to attack me. Then each time I found a chance, I shot a bullet at him. Although some time he didn't manage to build an Ice Wall in time, he's still quick enough to dodge the bullet. He keep getting scratch wound from the shot I did, but none of them are life threatening.
They just making him angrier and angrier. But he's still able to collect himself.
While he's thinking that I was too difficult to handle, he changed his magic to aim at where the girls are hiding.
"If I can't hit you, I can just kill your girlfriend!"
His target is the clothing store I had Candy and the others hide.
I pretended to be panicked and reacted slowly.
"No!"
Luiz casted a powerful lightning magic as an expert level lightning mage. It was a lightning force powerful enough to destroy that building. I don't know its name, but I think it's the most powerful lightning attack magic.
I look over at how the girls are doing, and they are fine even under the rubles of the building. It was thanks to Kayla's wand.
I told her to bring a lot of sand so she can protect Candy and the others from Luiz's lightning magic. And it worked!
Before Luiz casted his magic… no. Even before that, as soon as Kayla reached Candy, Kayla build a multiple layer dome shaped mound and had everyone hides under the mounds.
Neither of us know if one mound is enough to protect everyone, so I told Kayla to build multiple layer of them with the sand she's carrying.
Good thing that the weight of the sand she carried didn't change when she's holding the wand. If not, I wouldn't be able to come here quickly.
When I carried her, she's holding her earth wand and shaped the sand into a huge backpack on her back. That's why Luiz didn't get suspicious at all to what she's carrying.
And although Kayla can use the earth under the building, it would take some time for her to bring them out since the flooring of that building is made of wood. She's still beginner level in earth element after all.
But when I fought Luiz, she used the time she has after healing the others to raise some earth to reinforce her dome shaped protection. Which is how she can endure the lightning.
If the attack was a fire or ice magic, then it would be Candy's turn.
"You bastard!"
I pretend to make him think that he really managed to kill Candy and the others even though I can see that they are doing fine. He smiled when I yelled at him.
"Now your girlfriend and her friends have died! What will you do now?"
I pretend to be angry and shoot at him multiple times. Of course all the bullets were either blocked or dodged.
Looking at his reaction, he seem to be convinced that I'm really angry. He's laughing at my poor attempts to kill him.
Expert level mage somehow able to detect people approaching them. But they don't realize when it's not a living being.
That's right. Sonia has been watching us from the beginning. And she will contact Kayla to move when Sonia noticed Luiz is distracted by me.
If I'm right, then expert level mage when they are being distracted, they won't notice anyone getting closer to them. That's something I learned from Veronica when we first met. I don't know if it's right, but it's worth trying.
Each time I attacked, Sonia told Kayla it's time to move to different spot after the place they hide was destroyed. I need their help if I want to capture Luiz alive.
But I can't just do the same thing over and over again. Luiz is sharp. He might realize that I'm just stalling for time. So it's time to attack differently. By using different weapon.
While I keep moving around, Luiz was confused by my never ending stamina. And I covered Victogun with my body. He can only see the left side of my body while I transformed Victoria on my right into a… shotgun!
I filled… what should I call it? Vicshotgun? I filled it with a lot of small pebbles and prepared to shot ten of them at a time. I think they're smaller than pebbles since I can fit about two hundred of them on the shotgun. But that's not important.
The most important thing is I have another twenty shots at Luiz. And with the power of the shotgun in both close and mid-range, he would have difficulty dodging.
When I stopped and pulled the shotgun to aim at him, he was surprised to see the shape of my gun is changing. But he keeps his cool and prepared to build an Ice Wall.
And when I shot with the shotgun, the Ice Wall is destroyed easily. Then I shot again as the wall is destroyed because it was attacked in multiple spots at the same time, and Luiz tried to dodge. But the bullets are too spread out he can't dodge them all. The impact pushed him back but he's still able to endure it.
"What was that?"
Whatever he said, I won't respond to it. He needs to be even more confused so I have more chance.
"That magic tool… I want it!"
Sorry, but this is not a magic tool. She's my summon. I can't hand her to anyone.
Twenty shot seems a lot, but even after I used all the bullets, he's still standing. How strong is this guy? He's even bleeding from his head but he's still standing. And the fact that he hadn't killed himself means that he must be thinking that he's still has a chance to defeat me.
The end of our fight is coming. And it should be anti-climactic like how I usually fought.
I pretended to look despaired as I throw away the shotgun at him. Luiz must have thought that it's my last resort. Well, it will be.
If Kayla knows me as well as I imagined her to be, she would know that this is her time to come out of her hiding spot.
Luiz calmly grabbed the shotgun I threw and he thanking me for it.
"Well, thank you for your gift. I'll use it well to kill you- what?!"
The shotgun in his hand suddenly changed shape into a… tentacles? Why does Victoria want to be something that has tentacles?
The tentacles then wrapped around him and restrained him. Then a head appeared from one of the tentacles and said something.
"Sadly for you, I'm no magic item. I'm his summoned monster!" Victoria yelled at the man.
What's that? Too creepy! A head from a tentacle? That's just something out of horror stories!
Well, I won't let go of this chance.
While he was confused and scared about what happened, I get closer to him and throw a punch. A right hook to his temple. Not strong enough to kill him, but just strong enough to shake his brain for a few seconds.
"Roy! Catch!"
Kayla who knows what I want after throwing Victoria, come out of the hiding spot and threw the Magic Restriction Collar at me. Which I catch with my left hand and instantly put it on the confused Luiz's neck.
"Nice collar. It suits you well."
But I haven't done yet. After putting the collar and praised him for how fit it was on his neck, I inserted my fingers into his mouth and took out the HGB from his head.
Sigh… of all the things my fingers can enter, why is it men's mouth that has to be the place my fingers have entered into most?
"You know?! Who are you people?"
Luiz was shocked to see that I plucked out the HGB from his mouth. But he's being restrained and unable to use magic so there's nothing he can do.
"Does it matter to you who have been captured? And look! My girlfriends! They are still alive! Don't forget that there's an 's' behind the word 'girlfriends'. Making it plural. I'm awesome, right?"
Luiz was about to say something but I knocked him out for real this time.
Seeing Luiz fainted, Victoria released her restraint and Luiz dropped to the ground. And then I proceeded to dislocate his joints. Now there's really nothing he can do.
"Roy. Thanks for coming." Candy thanked me for saving her.
"No worry. That's what a boyfriend should do."
Did I see Candy blushing? Well, that's cute.
"Let's bring this guy to where the other prisoners are. Then we will take care of the stampede."
