I Have been Reincarnated As a Lazy, Arrogant Noble, but When I Destroyed The Scenario Through Effort, I Became The Most Powerful With Extraordinary Magical Power - 162

162 Belief and Resolve

The enemies are Olin and Karta, along with Tula and Cecil. Both pairs have been defeated by Weiss and the others before.

However, after their return, we heard announcements that they had hunted down some opponents.

Defeating them won’t lead to expulsion.

They probably have a rough idea of our scores.

That’s why all four of them have launched a simultaneous attack.

No shortage for the opponents! I will definitely win.

“Lilith! Let’s scatter!”

“Yes!”

What makes me and Lilith superior to the other pairs is our ability to act alone. Despite being partners, we excel individually in combat.

We’ll make use of that.

“I won’t let you escape.”

Following me is Tula. But I sense a presence from above.

Karta is probably aiming for me from the sky.

Moreover, I can’t believe Cecil is targeting Lilith alone.

In other words, she must be hiding somewhere.

“One-shot, one-kill.”

I deliberately provoked Tula’s attack.

An invisible blade extending rapidly.

Unlike Weiss and Alan, I don’t have exceptional eyesight.

But I have confidence in something else—my ears.

“Hah, can’t hit me!”

Even if I can’t see, the sound of the wind cutting through remains. Dodging at the last moment, a flash of red blood streaks across my cheek. Well, it’s nothing.

Simultaneously, Karta fires a magical cannon at me again.

I’ve been waiting for this.

“Sorry.”

I rush to Tula’s side, lift her up, and throw her into the sky.

At that moment, Tula activates her defense.

But it’s not just her; Cecil also activates hers, waving her hand from the forest.

“I found you.”

Karta’s magical cannon isn’t weak enough for Tula alone to withstand. I know she doesn’t have a magic wand.

I approach Cecil steadily.

As I get closer, her posture falters. The ground turns into mud at her feet, swaying unsteadily.

“Hah, interesting!”

But with just that, I can’t bring her down.

I thrust my right fist forward, releasing a shockwave. Although the power is weaker without my usual magical tools, Cecil is allocating magic to defense. If I hit her head-on now, she’ll suffer significant damage.

“But, I won’t let it hit!”

Barely avoiding, Cecil is hit by the second arrow.

“Cecil-san, this is a partner test.”

“Wha―”

“Cecil Antwerp’s second elimination. The plate moves to Duke Billian.”

Unlike other pairs, Lilith and I aren’t strong in long-range attacks with magic.

But we have high physical abilities and can seize small opportunities.

Moreover, with the freedom to move as we like, the opponents shouldn’t be able to predict our actions.

“You dared to attack Cecil!”

Balancing on the unnatural wall, Tula closed in on me from the sky.

It’s a bold move to challenge me in close combat rather than with long-range attacks.

She wields a longsword.

It might not be her usual weapon, but the sharpness makes it easy for magic to flow through.

At the same time, a wolf’s howl came from behind.

As expected of Olin. She doesn’t miss an opportunity.

Lilith won’t come to my aid. That’s because, at this moment, she’s probably aiming for the unsuspecting Karta.

“I won’t lose twice!”

“Hah, too bad!”

Tula’s close-range attacks were tremendous.

It’s impossible to dodge everything. Letting the blade cut through flesh and bone.

After narrowly avoiding a fatal blow, I intentionally extended my left arm forward, sacrificing it to block the sword. Tula was surprised by that.

At the same time, a wolf attacking from behind received a headbutt at the back of its head.

Hah, trying to defeat me with these dogs? Not in a hundred years!

Continuing, I delivered a powerful punch to Tula’s abdomen.

Deeply, deeply thrusting.

“Hah, what power…”

“Told you.”

Penetrating the defense sigil, I brought down Tula with a single blow.

If Tula’s weapon were a beloved sword, it might have been a struggle.

But that slight difference decided the match.

Listening carefully, I heard Olin’s breath from the top of the forest and ran towards it.

Even though over ten summoned beings attacked me, I dodged them all.

“Hyaaa!”

“Ahh, but I knew it.”

The moment I found him, Pipin came from below with a headbutt.

I might be a fool, but I won’t fall for the same trick twice. Surprisingly, Olin soared high into the air without a staff.

Being partners with Karta is no joke.

But it’s still a work in progress, and the opponent was unfortunate.

“Sorry, Olin, that’s my territory.”

Releasing a shockwave, I brought down Olin.

At the same time, I sensed a tremendous clash of magic in the sky.

Soon, an announcement came, revealing that Karta had been defeated by Lilith.

Returning to the original spot, Lilith quickly ran towards me.

She healed the left arm injured by Tula.

“Amazing! Duke-san!”

“You too. How did you defeat Karta?”

“I threw a stone into the air and climbed on it. It was my first attempt, but somehow it worked! It was a close call!”

Casually stating something extraordinary. Well, that’s Weiss’s influence for you.

“Duke-san, this time I absolutely want you to win. Let’s do our best.”

“Yeah.”

Yeah, this time, I absolutely must win.

For the sake of overcoming myself.
