Episode 162: The Sword of Resentment

"What do you say? I feel like I've tasted my spell with it."

"Ho, ho, ho. What happened...!?"

It wasn't enough to call it a fatal wound, but its damage definitely shreds Gabri's HP. Gabri thought that he had bounced off this attack with a reflex spell, but there was no way Henri had activated any spells since releasing the [moonlight cannon].

"Then how about this one! Spell [Flamethrower]!!"

Gabri activated [the flame bullet], an ability he had taken from Raphae, and generated nearly thirty flame bullets to unleash them with a view to Henri. I don't know what I did, but Gabri guesses it won't be possible to bounce this many back at once. But...

"No use."

Every flaming bullet flips its direction and relentlessly strikes Gabriel. Generating a large quantity of flaming bullets was, on the contrary, an enemy, avoiding everything was not fulfilled and multiple flaming bullets struck Gabriel directly.

"No... what the hell happened...!?"

Again, it doesn't look like Henri activated the spell. Then you can see that some kind of spell has already been activated and that is causing this phenomenon. Henri opened her mouth as if she had spotted such a Gabriel's heart.

"Let me tell you something. I was attacking you earlier by wearing a [self-destructive sword] with a [self-destructive point]."

"[Self harm point]...?

"Whoever receives this spell is bounced back to himself for a certain amount of time. That's why the [moon cannon] and [flamethrower] you spoke of attacked you."

"Ha, I see. It's a spell like Henri..."

The spell of the attacking system is no longer sealed. Gabri has almost no experience in fleshshell warfare, so he wasn't in a choice from the start, such as an attack without a spell. Gabriel thinks that Kiel's futility makes him jealous of his high fighting power at times like this, etc., without benefit.

"But a certain amount of time means that [the point of self-harm] will expire soon, right? Then we'll talk about it if I don't do anything until then!

Henri is a "self-destructive method of warfare" that does not bring down others with his own hands, so Gabriel's idea seems reasonable. But...

"Right. Then I'll be standing there for a while."

What did you think, Henri pointed the [self-harm sword] sword tip at his left arm. Gabri frowns at the inexplicable behavior.

"Spell [Self Harm Sharing] [Accident Recovery]"

After activating two spells in a row, how dare Henri bust that sword into his left arm without any hesitation.

"Guaaaaaaa!?"

At the same time Gabriel's scream sounds. As if linked to Henri's actions, blood erupted vigorously from Gabriel's left arm. That was exactly the same position where Henri stabbed himself with a sword.

"What the... what the...?!?"

"This is the effect of [self-harm sharing]. By this spell, you will suffer the damage I inflict on your own flesh."

"What...!?"

Regardless, Henri is no different than he was damaged. Soon after, however, Henri's left arm wound healed instantly and her HP recovered back to normal. Gabri, on the other hand, is still bored by the pain in his left arm, and his HP remains undone.

"[Accident Recovery] is a spell that heals the damage I inflict on my own flesh. Needless to say, it won't be shared until recovery. Which means you're the only one who's going to continue to take damage unilaterally."

"Seriously... Kai...!?"

"This is the self-harm combo caused by three spells: [Self-Harm Sword] [Self-Harm Sharing] [Accident Recovery]. Be fully indulged."

Henri pierces his right arm, left foot, right foot and one sword after the other. Each time Gabriel's blood scatters, Henri's wounds heal.

"Su... Awesome..."

Even my buddy Peta learned to fight this. Because no matter how much I know I'll recover, I can't do it unless I'm mostly prepared to do so, such as stab a sword in my own flesh. Besides, the severe pain when stabbed should definitely be attacking Henri, but that look shows no signs of distortion at all.

If you attack with a spell, it will be reflected at the [point of self-harm], and even if you don't attack, the self-harm combo will attack the flesh. It was exactly what could be described as an octagonal situation for Gabri.

"Nhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...!!"

but the more damage you take, the more gabri's expression distorts into a mad laugh. Instead, he even seemed happy that his body was applying it to his blood.

"... why don't you use a healing spell?

Henri had to be suspicious. Gabri has a useful healing spell called [The Benefit of Moonlight], which he tried to activate even before the start of the battle with Henri. More than that, Gabri can recover his HP as many times as he wants.

Henri's aim was therefore not to scrape Gabri's HP from the beginning, but to let him use a healing spell until his MP was depleted. If you spent MP on generating all three identities, Henri thought it wasn't such a long story that Gabriel's MP ran out.

But since the battle began, Gabri hasn't used a healing spell at once. It may simply be keeping MP warm, but HP will run out first as it is. Isn't he after something? Various thoughts complicate Henri's brain, but the reason was ultimate crap.

"Because wow, what a reward for the damage you took in the fight against a pretty girl, isn't it? If I recover it, I won't be able to...!!"

"... you creepy bastard"

Henri is going to tremble less reluctantly in disgust.

"But you're gonna die like this, me. I don't like that either, I don't know what to do..."

Gabri grins invincibly as she licks the blood flowing out of her arms.

"I really wanted to keep it until it was time to fight the King... I can't help it, do you want to use this spell?"

I'm going to set something up - Henri gets up aggressively. But whatever the spell, as long as [the point of self-harm] is activated, it will all strike Gabri himself.

"Spell [Grievance Sword]"

A single sword appears on this occasion by a spell activated by Gabri. It was as disastrous as if it had sprung from the bottom of hell, releasing such a sense of intimidation that it was about to die just from seeing it. It is obvious that it is not a normal sword, and the sweat of agitation tells Henri's cheek as well.

"What, that sword...!?"

"Hey, it's a spell of the same pedigree as Henri's [self-harm sword]. Its abilities are very different..."

This [grudge sword] is not originally Gabriel's or Raphae's. It is a spell produced, so to speak, by the chemical reaction of both souls.

Gabri holds the sword in his right hand. At that moment, a tremendous darkness spirited from that sword, as if Gabriel had been waiting to have it in his hands.

"How dare you kill me...!!"

'I will never forgive you...!!'

"I will curse you forever...!!"

Multiple voices echo at the same time. Henri doubted her ear for a moment, but the voice was undoubtedly audible from the spirit of darkness that covered [the grudge sword].

"This is a sword that amplifies its power by sucking up negative emotions like hate, sadness and anger."

"Negative emotions...!?"

"Did you think I was killing all the demons for nothing? Thanks to all the negative emotions they put on me, this sword gained uninterrupted power. I have to thank you...!!"

Henri understood. The voices I heard earlier were filled with resentment from the demons killed by Gabriel.

"But more than that sword was generated by the spell, [the point of self-harm] takes effect without exception! Whatever sword it is, it's no use!

"Nghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Gabri raises the [grudge sword] toward heaven. For a moment, the atmosphere shook and intense dark light was emitted from the tip of the sword, which eventually also broke through the clouds floating in the sky.

……!!

If you don't dodge, you die - Henri's instincts sound alarming. But there Henri remembers the presence of Peta lying behind her back. If you dodge yourself here, that sword will strike Peta straight.

This momentary patrol was a lifesaver for Henri. But by the time I realized it was too late, resentment had engulfed me and my sword was swinging down towards Henri.
