HP9999999999

"A world for the weak…? That's your spell, Raphae."

I was honestly impressed. At least I don't know anyone else in possession of such a spell. I guess this spell was expressed because I always think of the weak, the human, and the troubled and afflicted Raphae.

"But I can't tell you how you do it. You can't deny how cowardly they say you are, such as making small workers before a routine duel."

"You may indeed be cowardly. But I will not choose the means to defeat you...!!"

"... I see"

That said, there are no rules in this duel, and I can say that those who challenge me without any preparation would be more foolish if I changed my view. I would have done the same if I had been in Rafael's shoes.

"But you shouldn't be the exception to the spell. If each other's statuses are identical, the choice of spell will tell the victory or defeat ahead."

And the spell count is definitely higher on me. So I have a lot of spell options to favor - I just wanted to say that earlier Rafael let me declare my victory. Perhaps this is not the only Raphae measure.

Rafael makes me laugh invincibly, as if to answer my hunch like that.

"… Status Disclosure"

And for God's sake, Rafael released his status to me.

Naturally, it's not a good idea for someone to bother giving the enemy information about their status. Even if I were, it would either be as chronic as Uriel's, or I would teach him as a souvenir of the underworld as I do.

But Raphae in front of me is neither of them. It disclosed its status as if it revealed the seed of a trick.

Raphae LV200

HP 878/10089

MP6834/11268

ATK245

DFE389

AGI 224

HIT243

"What...!?"

A further shock struck me. Even Uriel in the seventh seat said the level was 999, but that Raphae, the third seat, had only level 200...!?

"I told you, those above level 300 by my [weak world] are forced to get status corrected. Therefore, I am not affected by this spell at level 200."

……!!

"If you fight normally, you can say that there is a zero chance that I can beat you in my status. But now that [World of the Weak] has been activated, there is no such thing as defeating you."

Indeed, my current status is below that of Raphae. What happens if you fight in this state, it's more obvious than seeing fire.

"Be prepared, King... you will defeat me here!! Spell [Flamebullet]!!"

Five flaming bullets were fired at me from Raphael. If I were normal, my HP would only be slightly reduced even if this all hit me, but with only 100 DEFs, it would be devastating if I hit this one shot at the moment.

"Spell [Chaos -"

I tried again to scratch out the flame bullets with [Chaos Whirlwind] - but I unconsciously interrupted the activation.

My MP today is 2,000, which is not the same as when it was almost endless. [Chaos Whirlwind] consumes 500 MP for activation, so that's all they take a quarter. Such thoughts worked unexpectedly.

"Gu...!?"

That led to a delay in the decision to act, and a flaming bullet hit me directly in the abdomen, and I was blown backwards.

"Hahahahahaha!! What do you say, King!!"

Raphae makes her laugh flashly, as if to smash up her previous, dear image.

"... I didn't know the day would come when the rest of us would land on our backs"

My stomach ached and I got up. [M] My HP has been shredded by the current attack by nearly 200. It's just one shot and it's this zama.

"Let me tell you one good thing. Only that person's" original "status is corrected by [The Weak World]. There's nothing in the way of spellbound status enhancement."

Raphae said with an extra grin. In other words, even if the status is enhanced by a spell, it will not be corrected to that number?

"But you don't possess a single status-enhanced spell... no?

Raphae's reading was centered. I possess many spells, but I don't need to enhance my status in the first place because none of my stats are MAX, so I don't possess any status-enhanced spells. That's one of my few weaknesses. [M]

At that time, I remembered an example of plum stew that my grandmother gave me yesterday at a plum shop that Serena and I stopped by on the way to buy out.

In exchange for a life span of 10 years, Grandma said that that plum would have the effect of raising non-HP and MP statuses by 1,000. If Raphae's explanation now is true, he should be able to strengthen his status with plum dried water without any problems.

Sooner or later, the time will come to help you - yes, Grandma said. Obviously it was frigid, but I couldn't hear it as a paranoia, and I decided to carry that plum all the time. Of course, I still have the plum in my nose. I'm sure Grandma was talking about this time now. Who was she really, that old lady?

If we eat that plum anyway, we can break this overwhelmingly unfavourable situation, although it is not far from its original status. But...

"... then no"

I shrugged. One of the reasons why life expectancy 10 years is too great is that this is not just a battle to defeat Raphael, but to save him.

That would be best if I could sound Raphae's heart in words, but I'm not so good at speaking. Then the only way to make it sound like a king is to make it sound like "force."

You can't rely on any other force for that. If I don't face Raphael on my own, I'm not really going to save Raphae. It may just be an ego, but that is also the holding as a champion.

I never reached for the plum and switched my mind. [M]

"And one more thing. All transfer spells, such as [Momentary Move], are disabled within the space of [Weak World]. You cannot go out of space by means of a transfer spell, or vice versa. Which means you can't run away from me, you can't get help from anybody."

Raphae adds an explanation. To force correction of the status, disabling the transfer spell? What a luxurious spell. It seems desperate at first sight.

"Don't worry. Even if a transfer spell can be used, I won't turn my back on you or beg someone to help me."

I proclaimed. [M] Because I have a secret. There's a secret to overcoming this situation.
