My Unique Skill [Gacha] Will Save the World - Episode 162: [Advanced Mana Swordsmanship]

Episode 162: [Advanced Mana Swordsmanship]

From Rindou’s body, a yellow and black light emitted. It merged together to envelop his body.  

“I don’t understand what’s going on, but I’m counting on you!”  

“Leave the hold-up to me!”  

Kunichika and Kyousuke shouted. And Rindou began to feel the power of the newly acquired skill from the [Fusion] ability.  

“…This is…”  

After firmly clenching his fist, Rindou looked up with a dignified expression.  

“One minute! Just buy me that much time!”  

““Understood!””  

In response to Rindou’s words, both Kyousuke and Kunichika immediately replied. They understood that everything would be decided in this one minute. From years of experience, they could sense that the battle had reached its final stages.  

“Hah!”  

“[Thunderclap]!”  

“Garuuaaaa!”  

Both Kyousuke and Kunichika were using all their strength to hold the Dragon in place. Meanwhile, the Dragon noticed that Rindou was doing something. It began to slowly move toward him. To Kyousuke and Kunichika, that one minute felt incredibly long. But their determination to hold off the Dragon for just that minute gave them the strength to keep it from advancing as it wanted.  

And then—one minute passed.  

“Skill—[Advanced Mana Swordsmanship]!”  

The new skill, [Advanced Mana Swordsmanship], was obtained by fusing [Advanced Magic Swordsmanship] and [Gluttony]. Some might wonder what the difference is, just by looking at the skill name.  

However, for Rindou, the [Advanced Mana Swordsmanship] skill was exactly what he needed. It was exactly as he had expected.  

——Boom!  

With the activation of the skill, golden magical energy burst forth from Rindou’s body. The effect of [Advanced Mana Swordsmanship] was to significantly increase all stats by using magical power. 

Additionally, the [Gluttony] trait had been reflected in the skill. It allowed him to absorb the magical energy around him. As a result, the magical energy that was running low for Rindou was fully restored. And with every use, the magical energy around him would be absorbed, preventing it from ever running out.  

Normally, there wouldn’t be enough ambient magical energy to restore this much. But in this situation, with the aftermath of numerous spells, a vast amount of magical energy was floating around. Which allowed Rindou to reach this level of power.  

“Haaaaaaaaah!!”  

With his speed greatly enhanced, Rindou delivered a powerful strike to the Dragon. The patched areas were weaker than the scales. And Rindou’s blow cleaved through both the scales and the Dragon’s tail.  

“Gagugaaaaaa!?”  

“Awesome!”  

“Are you kidding me!?”  

The Dragon screamed in pain, and Kunichika and Kyousuke shouted in surprise at Rindou’s tremendous strike. Rindou’s attack was so powerful that it caused the Dragon’s scales to break apart. And with his enhanced stats, he followed up with another blow.  

Recognizing Rindou as a serious threat, the Dragon’s eyes locked onto him completely. However, Rindou wasn’t the only one on the battlefield.  

“Hah!”  

“Draaaah!”  

Kunichika and Kyousuke launched attacks at the wounds Rindou had created. They didn’t expect much damage, but it wasn’t without pain. For the Dragon, this was an irritating distraction.  

As its attention momentarily shifted to Kyousuke and Kunichika, Rindou saw an opening. He launched another attack.  

“Gggggg… Gilgagaaaaaaahhh!!!”  

In its fury, the Dragon began violently thrashing its massive body. It was in an attempt to shake off Rindou and the others.  

“This is it! The end!!”  

But this created a huge opening for the Dragon, one that Rindou didn’t miss. As the Dragon tried to spread its massive wings and fly away,  

“[Thunderclap]!”  

The Dragon’s escape was thwarted by a lightning strike that brought it down.  

The Dragon attempted to move its limbs to escape, but—  

“I won’t let you!”  

Kyousuke plunged his sword into the Dragon’s patched area, driving it into the ground. For a brief moment, the Dragon’s movements stopped.  

“Gargaaaaaa!”  

——Slash!  

The Dragon let out a massive roar, but it was its final cry. The Dragon’s attempt to throw Rindou off failed. And Rindou, staying close, dodged every attack. Before he delivered a final strike with the Durandal, severing the Dragon’s head.
