Even though Kyoya did a lot of despicable things during the battle, which almost caused Ainz to be injured, Ainz was not angry about it and was instead grateful.
After all, he himself is the kind of "person" who as long as he wins the battle, it doesn't matter what method he uses. Of course, if it is a martial arts tournament like this that pays attention to viewing and reputation, he still needs to restrain himself. However, Kyouya is considering this.
Despite the circumstances, it was still done.
After Ainz mastered magic and martial arts, combining various skills and magic combinations with close combat was one of the tactics he advocated. However, Kyoya is obviously very good at using his eyes to address the words that some warriors are used to shouting.
To mislead the opponent - the audience wouldn't notice it anyway. There were a lot of fake moves in the battle just now, and Ainz almost got hit by misunderstanding.
Ainz would not sneer at this approach, but he thought he was very experienced, but he had been misled by Kyoya several times, and his body was affected, so he would be a little angry.
In fact, Kyouya has twice caused the broken blade to fly through the gap in Ainz's mask and hit Ainz's skull, and three swords have penetrated the armor and the body at positions that do not overlap. If his bones were not strong enough and he had some passive skills
Due to his defense and the buffs he had put on beforehand, he had no flesh and blood yet, so the sword swiped past the bones, and he was somewhat injured.
The armor was also beaten into holes in many places. Considering that this armor was not the best among his equipment, such trivial matters were ignored.
Kyouya has unique skills [Celestial Eye] and [Thinking Acceleration] that can increase the speed of thinking by three hundred times, so it is very easy to change his moves after being used proficiently.
Although Ainz has never used magic, which is equivalent to letting go, seeing new things can still make him feel fresh; but in other words, Kyoya can only bring him this level of freshness.
Ainz is stronger in terms of pure swordsmanship. Kyoya's normal attacks without any skills cannot hit Ainz at all. He relies solely on the magic that "Visitor from Another World" can easily learn and the broken blade of "Exterminator" to inflict damage.
Ainz was somewhat interested in including the consideration of making weapons and armor into "explosive armor" and eye deception as his future training items... The latter seemed a bit too difficult for his face, so let's leave it at that.
"Then, it's my turn to show off some real skills." Ainz said. He had to admit that he actually had no talent as a warrior. Although he had some experience, he would be more comfortable dealing with beings who were not full-time warriors. But as a warrior, there is no disadvantage.
Like the person in front of me, he relies on skills and magic mixed in various actions.
After he finished speaking, he threw the sword to the ground.
"What, are you admitting that you can't beat me with a sword and plan to compete with me with magic?" Kyouya said excitedly, "That's right, after all, your armor is in such tatters, but it prevented me from stabbing you in the head.
The move is very good, is it really a skill or magic?"
"snort."
"Interesting, let me show you the essence of combining sword skills and magic!"
He said this in his mouth, attached a dazzling flame to the sword, and swung it down with a large upper cut.
In fact, it is a hidden invisible blade that has not been used before, tearing apart the space. When the skill is activated, you only need to be proficient, and you do not necessarily need to make a slashing posture. The invisible blade that tears through the space is a large-scale horizontal slash.
Blade.
After Kyoya's previous attacks and defenses, he believed that Ainz's defense was very strong and experienced, and that he was better than himself, so he kept most of the power of [Exterminator] unused and planned to end it with a sudden and unexpected blow.
fighting.
But for Ainz, who had mastered [world break], it was actually a straightforward move.
He jumped high to avoid the cross attack of fire and space.
"Hmph, this is really sharp, but you were fooled again!" Kyouya can quickly prepare his back move by using [Celestial Eye].
Kyouya's big upper-cut strike from top to bottom seemed to be held back by inertia, and with added space properties, the sword blade penetrated the ground that would eclipse the nuclear explosion shelter.
The same sword blade immediately shot out from the surrounding ground like a jungle growing wildly from bottom to top!
Attacking the ground and letting skill magic pass through the underground to attack the opponent is quite easy for "Visitors from Another World" who can learn skill magic more easily as long as they think about it.
Ainz was falling downwards and was about to collide head-on with countless sword blades that were also tearing apart space.
But this was still within the range that Ainz was on guard against. Before landing, he turned around and used his arm armor to activate [World Break]. The space attribute swords flew away and landed in the open space in the sword formation.
, and rushed towards Kyouya, who was close at hand but had not yet drawn his sword out of the ground.
Kyouya smiled grimly, how could the space attribute encounter physical resistance when it was pulled out? The sword cut through the ground like butter, slashing from bottom to top toward Ainz's crotch.
"Hmph!" Ainz let out an angry cry, not because he was angry about it, but because he was slightly annoyed that his guess was wrong.
He turned his body and stabbed the sword into his thigh.
Although Kyouya was a little surprised that his sword could not cut off the opponent, he still had a backup plan and activated the same fire magic as before.
"Boom!" Flame poured inward from the sword blade that pierced Ainz's armor, and a large amount of flames spurted out from the gaps in his armor and his mask.
But Ainz acted like a normal person, and raised his hand to deliver a shaky punch. The hot full-metal fist struck Kyoya in the face, and with the sound of a teppanyaki, he was severely knocked away.
This blow approached the human's vital point with martial arts. If his companion Shogo had been able to continue fighting, Kyoya, who did not have the skills to deal with this situation, only received one blow and was temporarily unable to get up.
"Why...why?" Kyoya, whose face was deformed and burned, felt severe pain and dizziness, fell to the ground, and raised his head to ask.
Although in order not to kill the opponent, the damage standard is deliberately set such that the highest level recovery medicine in the Demonic Kingdom must be used to have a chance to recover.
But even a boneless race with regenerative abilities has temporarily become like rags. How can it still exert its power?
"The last blow was done beautifully. If there is an opponent who can let me use more strength, there may be an answer." Ainz had no intention of revealing his identity as an undead in the arena. Anyway, he felt that he was being detected when he entered the city.
They didn’t say anything, it was legal and there were no problems.
Kyoya realized the gap, so he had to give up, lie down, and wait for someone to lift him down for free treatment. For him, his martial arts tournament was over.
However, I felt that the cheers on the stage before were also cheering for him, and the changes in coming to this country with the other two to train at this moment, I thought that he didn't need to wear a fake good boy mask all day long.
As a country, maybe it’s not just a matter of earning consumption points but actually doing your part to protect this place, that’s probably not bad either.
