"Clear today! It's Martial Arts Day! The first match of the day is the third place match between those who lost the semifinals at all costs!"

Is today the last day to hear this trivial reality? Don't even feel a little lonely thinking about it. What is it, like right before the festival ends?

(Master, what's wrong?

'No, I just thought today would be the last day'

(Give it all away)

"Right."

(Mmm!)

Fran nods with a motivated face that doesn't make her feel lonely or anything at all. There's no clutter or anything like that like me, I only see the Fermus fight in front of me.

Hmm, you're reliable.

"From the west emerged Princess Black Thunder (Kolari) Fran, a Rank C Adventurer of Threats! It would be one of the best selling contestants in the tournament right now! Don't be fooled by that little, cute look, which is also one of the most popular factors! He's got enough sharp fangs to defeat the Rank A Adventurer! Can you see that black thunder today!"

This cheer is also the last. I wondered if the audience's purpose was the finals, and their support for Fran was great.

"Mm, here we are."

"Unfortunately, you seem to be doing well."

Walking toward the stage, Fermus walks slowly with a natural grin. It doesn't even make me feel nervous or shards.

That's right, you're an experienced former Rank A adventurer with a record of three consecutive games.

(Not too bad)

"Well, Fran is."

Rather, it would be a shame if Fermus wasn't in full condition.

"From the east comes the dragon hunting Fermus! Even though I retired from active duty, I don't see any decline in that strength! We lost in the semifinals at all costs, but the strength of previous years is alive and well!

Fermus is as lightweight as ever. white shirt and it just looks like a black slack. That one, the butler in the ruffled outfit with the jacket off? Well, it just looks that way from a distance, and the material is dragon-based, and if you look nearby, you can tell it's like a scale-connected Skyle Armor.

"Hey, it's been a while."

"Mmm."

"If I told you I didn't see you and I were going to face each other in this place, would I be angry?

"That's the same here"

"You mean each other."

I thought Royce was gonna win. But as far as the game goes, its strength is real. Above all, the scary thing is that they use the unknown technique of manipulating yarns. They'll use moves they've never seen, tactics they can't even imagine.

Plus, it goes well below combat experience.

If we were to lose, which is supposed to exceed our status, they would have poked us on that point. In fact, even in the Amanda battle, we lost the insane tactic of suddenly releasing the most powerful moves of abandonment at the opening.

"Young Most Promising Stock Still Growing And Experienced Former Rank A Adventurer! Which one of us wins!

"I"

"No, it's me"

When Fran laid down his sword, Fermus gently laid his hands. At first glance, he looks like a hand-fighter, but he's a yarn man. Throw a thread from this stand, it should manipulate and attack.

Name: Wang Whale Beard Battle Thread

Attack: 100-489 Magic: 500 Endurance: 500

Magic conductivity - C to A

Skills: space-time attributes, flash attributes, ocean attributes, ice and snow attributes

Name: Dragon Eating Spider Battle Thread

Attack: 55-455 Magic: 300 Endurance: 700

Magic conductivity - D to B +

Skills: Flame Attributes, Dust Attributes, Earth Attributes, Storm Attributes, Soluble Iron Attributes, Thunder Attributes

It has a great number of attributes. Can you change your attributes by yarn? Also, I guess the attack power changes depending on the length of the yarn, etc.

"Come on, it looks like you're ready! Okay, 3rd place decision, here we go!

At the start of the match, we opened the barrier and unleashed magic.

"Thunderbolt"

"Gail Hazard"

"Blaze Wave"

"Acid Benom"

It was a failed opening witchcraft in the Battle of Amanda, but it worked for Fermus.

Thundering magic is aimed at electrically shocking them through threads. Wind magic is going to simply blow the yarn off, and maybe burn the yarn off with flame magic. Poisonous magic with corrosive effects is also naturally aimed at yarn.

In fact, our unleashed magic had succeeded in preventing threads from being thrown and attacked at the same time as the opening.

But then the thread released kicks the magic away lightly. Even without looking, I could see that there was intense magic passing through the yarn.

Exactly. It seems impossible to push it off with just witchcraft.

"I knew we had to get close."

"Mmm."

The battle at a distance is in Fermus's favour. If the distance were hundreds of meters away, long-range artillery fire in magic would be effective. However, at a distance of about the stage, and on a battlefield that is closed by the junction, it was rather a few steps more troublesome for a yarn capable of a variable and spontaneous attack from all directions.

Then it will be difficult to take the yarn around, compete in melee. That's our operation.

I'm not equipped with physical attack invalidity because I also found out in the Amanda battle that it's dangerous for the opponents attacking me by hand.

(Approaching first)

"Right."

"Flash Thunder!

Fran accelerated at once and approached Fermus. They manipulate the yarn to try to block the walls, but we don't stop.

(Master, operational decision!

"Ooh! Dimension Shift!

"Short Jump"

Metastasis is a prerequisite that is being read. Therefore, it is used in conjunction with the Dimension Shift, which transmits and prevents all attacks in order to eliminate post-metastasis gaps. Activation time is a few seconds, but enough to prevent an ambush.

A bunch of threads came from all directions toward us.

But those threads can't slip through the flan and catch it.

"Huh! Is it still space-time magic"

"Ha!

Fran swung me down from the top of the stairs, and Fermus attacked me. But he also seemed to simulate what happened when he was approached.

The junction of threads strewn around the perimeter of Fermus kept me away and stopped me. Even if the strength of each one is weak, dozens of threads reinforced by magic gather together to cushion the impact and even take the sword.

Also, the unknown weapon that says yarn is the opponent's fault, unable to take advantage of the advantage that says skill level is above. No matter how many francs said they had sword king technique, it was impossible to perfectly see through an unknown attack.

But this is where our attack comes from!

The black thunder that Fran wears around me by Flashing Hua Xun Thunder is also passed on to me. If you slash it, that's all Black Thunder conducts to the target and deals damage.

Naturally, it conveys the thread that touched me, and the black thunder runs. The black thunder is slapped by Fermus through the yarn as it is - it was supposed to.

"It's no use."

"Come on!"

Oh, my God, the black thunder that was supposed to have been poured into the yarn had reduced its power and vanished without ever reaching Fermus. Apparently, he sprinkled black thunder on a large amount of yarn.

While paying for the thread released at the counter, the franc is further slashed, but is still prevented by the thread junction. Black thunder was also scattered across the yarn and did not reach Fermus, but flowed into the air and to the ground.

I didn't expect it to be handled this far.

"Dimension Shift"

"Short Jump"

"Multiple Split Creation!

He is slashed with a metastasis again. But first, he created a split and tried to stir it up. The split will be knocked down in an instant, but that doesn't matter. Unlike the phantom, if it were a split with a reality, Fermus wouldn't be able to ignore it either.

I didn't feel very good about watching my split get knocked down before, but lately I don't know if I've gotten used to it or anything. That's what happened when I tried it in the dungeon.

But the three splits that were created looked unexpected to us.

"Hmm?"

'Huh?'

Name: Split

Attack: 100 Magic: 50 Endurance: 100

Magic conductivity - C

How dare you think that a split will be created that looks like my lifetime, as it has always been, with a sword that looks just like mine now? You look exactly like me, it feels like a replica.

That said, it seems you have succeeded in turning Fermus' vigilance against the sword that suddenly appeared around you. I could see that the gaze was slightly directed at the replicas.

I don't care why the split looks like a sword now. Verification later.

"Go!"

I propelled my sword toward Fermus using my meditation. Although it may be closer to saying it is a drop than a rush because it is not intended to cause damage.

A vigilant Fermus threaded the replicas away. A sword whose endurance value is shredded and disappears in an instant. But Fermus' purpose seems to have succeeded.

We're lucky that Fermus fought and lost Falund using his sword manipulation moves. Looks like you've alerted the replicas more than you need. There was a moment when Fermus' consciousness was more strongly directed against replicas than against us.

"Ha!

"Oh, my God!

We don't miss that moment and attack. I avoided a direct hit, but blood dances from Fermus. At the same time, I activated the demonic fangs.

Fermus has abnormal state resistance. Not for poison damage, but to disturb the concentration at all. It should take a lot of concentration to manipulate all this yarn.

We attack even more. Each time a non-shallow wound was engraved on Fermus' body. Even though the thread is an unknown and troublesome weapon, it is in our favor in the melee. There's still a way to live at this distance...

"Wait, Fran!

"Mm!"

Immediately afterwards, the thread blows up from the foot of the flan, tangling the flan and attacking it in the candle. Apparently, something called a trap, activated when touching a particular yarn, was made of yarn and installed. I'll be ready for the melee. They led me there.

I noticed last minute with trap sensing, so I avoided direct hitting. But we will need to be even more vigilant in the future. The Fermus trap installation is at a high level, and the yarn itself is thin and hard to see.

I've been distanced again by this gap.

It's more troublesome to say yarn than you can imagine!
