“Do you have that ‘something’?” Master Unicorn readied her sword.

As Derek watched her, he felt a chill from head to toe. This pressure is nothing like before.

“Something other than strength. If you don’t, you’ll never beat me,” she said.

It’s been said that those who meet someone who’s perfected their craft will feel overwhelmed and break into a cold sweat simply from facing that person. At that moment, what Derek had experienced was that exact phenomenon. He’d felt the same when he’d watched Alan or Kevin wield their swords in earnest, but this was on a completely different scale from those two.

“Shit! I don’t know what your little ‘something’ is, but thanks for taking your sweet time. My arm’s back in place now.” Derek slashed at Master Unicorn using the arm Elise had just healed. Surprisingly, he’d chosen to go for a head-on attack without feints or tricks. For the current situation, he’d decided it was the best course of action.

I have the upper hand in terms of strength thanks to Elise’s physical enhancement magic. I can push her back in a direct clash and beat her that way, Derek thought.

However, a loud clang rang around them as Master Unicorn effortlessly blocked his strike. “What?!”

“I’ve gotten used to your weight.”

You don’t just block a frontal attack by “getting used to it,” dammit! Derek cursed to himself. “How about this?! Curse Droplet!” Poison liquid potent enough to melt rock oozed out of the thorns on Emanuel’s Blade and rained down on Master Unicorn.

“That won’t hit me if I dodge.” In an instant, Master Unicorn once again moved behind Derek.

“Go to hell!” Derek swung his poison-coated blade behind him.

“That poison is meaningless,” Master Unicorn said as she blocked Derek’s sword, resulting in a phenomenon he couldn’t comprehend.

How is the poison not splashing in her direction?! Normally, blocking a sword coated in poison should cause the liquid to move in your direction because of inertia. How the hell did she block my attack without any inertia?!

Next, while their swords were still in contact, Master Unicorn gripped and shifted hers in a way that sent an impact directly to Derek’s internal organs.

What...happened this time?! Derek thought through coughing fits.

“See, you can achieve the same effect as poison without using a drop of it if you just send a shock directly into your enemy’s body through their sword as you’re blocking it,” Master Unicorn said in a low voice. The techniques she’d used were practically indistinguishable from high-level magic, but this freak of nature considered them normal.

“Curse you and your talent!” Derek said while biting down on his blood-stained lips. Her condescending attitude was driving him mad. He wanted to teach her a lesson and make her quiver in fear. “You were blabbing about ‘something other than strength’ earlier, right? Then just watch, I’ll show you that something!”

Derek directed Elise to throw spells at Master Unicorn to force her to dodge, then used the opening to put some distance between them.

“Brainwash!” he shouted. No sooner had
