Hero Defeated by Evil 263

Chapter 263 – #2-13 Hero Spade vs Villain #13 (4)

Kang! Kang! Kaaaaa!!
Kakkiing! Kagaaaaa!!

The sound of a loud fight resounds, and Spade and No. 13 fight to the death.

They wield single sticks of the same shape, aim for the other’s vital points, and block them.
The weapon attack was blocked, but this time it uses its arms and legs to poke the opponent’s gaps, but it is blocked by the opponent’s arms and legs as well.

Although Spade was smaller in size than No. 13, it is meaningless to talk about weight classes for her, who is her Awakener and 【Physical Strengthening】 is her specialty.
With all her might, she can even lift her tank, so it doesn’t matter how big her opponent is.
However, likewise, No. 13 is not at all pushed by her, who has strengthened her body with her magical powers.

Looking at the level of simple physical strengthening, the current two are equal.
That’s why a moment’s gap or a small technical skill determines victory or defeat.

The scene of a desperate fight aiming for each other’s lives so fiercely and without hesitation.
Apple watches the scene with stunned eyes without lowering the muzzle.

‘… Strong.’
‘Really strong, both of them.’

While living with the members of the 7th division, I saw their superhuman abilities with my own eyes many times.
However, I rarely had the experience of seeing it from such a close distance, and above all, it was surprising that No. 13 was doing better than expected.

I thought that now No. 13 had lost all his powers, and without the means of brainwashing, he would surely be a helpless person who couldn’t do anything.
However, the 13th was clearly catching up with Spade’s body movements, which Apple did not even allow to see the movement.

That fact is surprising and shocking.

‘If it’s like this, let’s pack a gun… If I’m wrong, I’ll just hit the spade.’
‘A little more, a little more chance…’

Apple didn’t even have time to wipe off the cold sweat that flowed down his face, and instead of relaxing, he put strength into his hand holding the gun.

Her only hand left now is her spade.
If Spades is defeated, Apple has no choice… !

* * *

Hiss hiss!
Kakaaaaang!!

A heated struggle continues.
The two hands swung at an invisible speed, and the ink-colored single sticks that bumped into each other several times began to emit a strangely ominous sound.

Although it is a rod made entirely of iron, it is not strange that it is broken during battle as long as it is wielded with the powerful power of the Awakener.
It wouldn’t be known if magic was given to a weapon like a check, but spades, which were still immature, couldn’t do that.

Number 13 knows how to enhance weapons with magical power, but since a large amount of magical power goes into it, she tries to avoid it as much as possible.

Like being unable to land an effective hit on an opponent with a difference of one piece of paper, or avoiding an opponent’s attack with a difference of one piece of paper.
In such a nerve-wracking situation, I was afraid to go with the feeling of exhaustion consuming a large amount of mana and the anxiety that my mana might run out soon.

Anyway, I thought that it was a close match at the current state, and there would be no need to take the risk.

“――――!”
“Uh, huh?!”

Boo woo woo-

The dagger I just barely escaped, in Spade’s handsWhat shines with a mysterious lightReportedly, No. 13 jumped backwards in surprise.

Didn’t see anything wrong.
Light shone on the single stick of the spade.
[Weapon strengthening] That spades cannot do in the first place is being done at this moment!

Taat!

There is no time to be astonished or surprised.
As much as No. 13 retreated back, or even longer than that, Spade jumped in one step and dug deep into his bosom.

‘Danger… !’

Whoops!

“Cheuk… !”

Spade’s shoulder hit him in the stomach, and No. 13 staggered as if he was about to fall halfway backwards.

Shih!

Not missing the momentary gap, Spade lifted the single stick, strengthened with his magic power, and struck it down.

The magic-enhanced dagger’s destructive power was enormous.
The blow that would shatter even a block of stone like shards of glass, crashed right now to shatter Unit 13’s skull.

Wooooong!!

I thought that No. 13’s head would fly away with a loud roar.
However, just before the stick hit his head, #13 narrowly twisted his body to avoid him and hit the spade stick with the stick in his hand.

The 13th stick also has the same magic light as the spade,
The moment the two poles collided, there was a roar like a bomb exploding, not just a lump of metal colliding.

Although it was strengthened with magical power, both rods, which had already reached their limits, were shattered and scattered by this attack.
With the intense explosion, Spade also lost his posture, and a lull came to the battle between the two.

But that’s just for a moment.
Spade straightened her posture, and Number 13 hurriedly stood up from her seat as she rolled back as she collapsed.

Both have no weapons.
Neither the spade nor the number 13, no matter who said it first, threw away the single stick with only the handle remaining, leaving both of them empty-handed.

Shhh! Parbat! Baba Baba Baba Bak!
Tuk Tak! Pooh! Bahah!

In the next moment, the battle between the two went from a weapon battle using sticks to a hand-to-hand battle using purely human arms and legs.
Fists, kicks, arms and legs intertwined, and strong shocks were scattered in the air several times.

A fist with a sense of intimidation equal to that of the iron club from earlier aimed at No. 13’s head and flew at it.
No. 13 judged that it would be difficult to completely avoid it, turned his head, and with minimal evasion immediately launched a counterattack.

A fist of spades passing by.
One side of No. 13’s cheek was torn in half and blood splattered, and as if to replace it, No. 13’s fist was thrust heavily into Spade’s abdomen.

The spade backed away slightly, but the damage did not appear to be significant, probably because he strengthened his abdomen with magical power before his fists could reach it.
On the contrary, the fist of No. 13 who hit the spade was tingling.

Shih!

“Ugh… !”

Like that.
When No. 13 stiffened for a moment from the pain in his cheeks and fists, Spade didn’t have any pain in his abdomen, but he immediately stabbed his hand straight into his heart as if nothing had happened.

Number 13, who narrowly avoided it, continues the battle by receiving the continuous onslaught of spades.

A superhuman fight in which each fist and kick becomes a fatal wound.
In this precarious situation where a half-step wrong is likely to face death, Spade still moves with an expressionless face like a doll.

――All of this is for the precious Apple.

Inside her spades now, only her loyalty to her Apple instead of her own ego is what’s driving her…

* * *

‘X feet… !’
‘Wow, that’s crazy. What have I done?’

No. 13 is doing his best to receive the spade’s onslaught with strength between his eyebrows.
However, a vague feeling of self-reproach wells up in it.
Originally, Spade has excellent potential, and it is a hero with excellent utility as it handles a simple and strong ability called 【Physical Strengthening】.

But.
Compared to his outstanding potential, he has little experience and is inexperienced, so he is a skill that stays in the middle and lower ranks among A-class heroes.
That’s why, even with her current weakened number 13, she should be able to subdue her enough as she steadily extracted her magic from the heroes of her 7th division.

But not being able to do that.
Like it did with the previous club, it’s because the number 13 has strengthened some of Spade’s abilities.

Should I say “Reinforcement”?
What No. 13 is doing is close to “Liberation of potential”.

In the case of Check and Rahe, they already cover the limits of their respective abilities, so even as #13, there is no way to strengthen them.
In the case of Club and Coco, especially Spades, there were so many ‘fields of possibility’ that we couldn’t cover yet, so as No. 13, we were excited to strengthen them.

Since the 7th division fell to their own limbs anyway, they thought that everything would come back to their advantage as a result.
Unfortunately, now it’s turning and turning, and it’s like strangling yourself.

‘No, no no no no no no no no!’
‘That too!’
‘Rather than that, Spade This woman is weird!’

In addition, No. 13 is shocked by the unexpected strength of the spade.
No. 13 undoubtedly strengthened the spades, but not to this extent.

She was still immature, and there were still many areas of potential that he would help and release in the future.
At least as far as he knew, if he and Spade were fighting, he would have had a narrow advantage.

However, that expectation was overturned.
Spade couldn’t keep up with all the movements of No. 13 and was on the verge of overwhelming them.
[Weapon strengthening], Which was not originally possible, became possible, and it even forced No. 13 to use force unreasonably once.

At this rate, from Unit 13’s point of view, there is no way to win this fight.

‘I’m going crazy, this lady.’
‘I thought she was just an immature young lady with no tips, so why is she learning the tricks on her own and making a mess?’
‘It’s me?! Am I the problem?! After all, did I open the door to a talented woman?!’
‘Why is it that I became a hero with even more unanswered questions than I expected?’
‘This is almost a check level… X feet… Ruined… !’

Anyway.
That’s why it’s difficult in many ways.
It is difficult because the spade is too strong.

Even now, in order to avoid the spade’s attack, he quickly takes action to evade and changes his posture to launch a counterattack.
Spade’s attack and his own reaction were too fast, so now his mind had reached the point where he couldn’t keep up with his body.

His eyes seemed to be spinning, and he could not tell whether he was standing on the floor, wall, or ceiling.
His body that handles it to its limit is creaking, and it is also close to the end because he forcibly puts magic into his weapon in response to the spade’s attack a moment ago.

My body is in a mess due to the excessive use of magic power.
In addition, the mana that will strengthen his body is now showing the bottom… !
