I was accidentally injured by God and I just want to be an ordinary person

——Perhaps Elise can really do it.

Her vigilance instantly reached its peak, and Ella turned around and prepared to run to the other end of the dreamland.

"Ah, ah, we're only a few steps away. In that case, ●□△——"Wind Pestle"."

Iris's voice came from behind, and at the same time, a translucent air pestle appeared in the air.

"Are you going to attack right away?!"

——Can’t hide.

This was a warning from the bottom of Ella's heart. If it was the first-level magic "Wind Binding", she might be able to dodge it by relying on the speed of the acceleration magic, but if it was the second-level wide-area suppression magic "Wind Pestle", it would not be something that could be dodged by relying on speed.

Magic Shield

The magic shield that instantly unfolded blocked the suppressing effect when the Wind Pestle was about to fall on Ella, and the surrounding ground that was not blocked by the magic shield sank as if it was hit by a giant from a high altitude.

"That magic, which doesn't seem to require any chanting at all, unfolds just like before. Plus, she can even use the spirit summoning magic that only the Gods can use. Ella-chan is truly an incredible person."

Iris planted the gorgeous staff called "Crescent Dew" on the ground and looked at Ella with a smile, but the playfulness in her green eyes made it clear that she was enjoying it no matter how you looked at it.

Like Iris, Ella took out the Pestle of Heavenly Punishment and brushed back the few strands of silver hair that had drifted to her forehead.

"Iris, you should have figured out a solution by now, right? Since your original goal was to remove this vampire, why are you trying to stop me now?"

He carefully observed every move of Iris, who was about ten meters away from him. As long as Iris showed any intention of chanting a spell, he would have to take corresponding countermeasures and escape.

Although Iris is already level 34, reaching the level of a third-order magic caster, even so, casting second-order magic requires a certain amount of chanting time. During that time, she has to think of a response method in advance.

Under normal circumstances, duels between magic casters usually start with a very short chanting of first-level magic. When the opponent is suppressed to the point where he cannot respond in time, he will start chanting high-level magic. If he chants high-level magic right at the beginning, he will most likely be interrupted by the opponent's low-level magic, thus falling into a passive situation.

But if she failed to interrupt the other party and let them cast high-level magic, the result would be self-evident, and she would be met with powerful magic that was difficult to resist. This was also the reason why Ella did not choose to escape directly. If Iris cast a third-level magic when she started to escape, she would have been captured.

This tactic was also something that F.Wing didn't have. With the exception of super-level spells exceeding 100 tiers, all F.Wing's skills were instantaneous spells that didn't require chanting, so this tactic was something Ella had been forced to learn.

"Blocking? Isn't that fun? Seeing Ella-chan anxiously trying to get through but unable to do so... hehe, I'm getting more and more excited."

It seemed that she saw Iris licking the corner of her mouth, and this action made Ella feel a chill creeping up her body.

"Tsk, what if those people catch up with us?"

"Catch up? Hmm... In that case, I'll have to sign the contract first. Don't worry, I'll treat you well, Ella-chan."

"In that case, the only option is—Fireball."

Ella raised the Pestle of Heavenly Punishment and launched an attack magic towards Iris's surroundings—not towards Iris herself.

If you launch an attack magic directly at Iris herself, it will not be able to be cast at all due to the effect of subconsciousness, but if it is the inanimate ground, there will be no problem.

The orange-red fireball streaked across the sky and rushed towards Iris, but Iris didn't look panicked at all.

"Wow? A healer can use offensive magic? Then, △■▼——『Magic Shield』."

Unlike the translucent magic shield that Ella usually uses, the magic shield cast by Iris is generally golden in color and has a much larger range.

boom.

The rapidly flying fireball hit the magic shield and instantly turned into a few smoke wisps and disappeared. The magic shield cast by Iris only became a little weaker, and even this was restored to its original state with the magic power that Iris injected next.

"Your magic power is actually higher than mine... A level 17 『Fireball』 can actually damage the 『Magic Shield』 I created. Ella-chan is really a freak—huh?"

While looking at the recovering magic shield, Iris made her inferences. When she looked up again, she found that Ella had turned around and fled for some time.

"How could I let you escape? □●——『Fly』."

Iris rose into the sky and looked down at Ella, with the corners of her mouth slightly curved.

Whenever this happens, I can always feel the joy of teasing. Watching the prey struggling in my hands, I will never get tired of it no matter how many times I do it.

In all the chases so far, he had only failed once, and that time happened to be in the lava cave of the Holy Academy when he wanted to catch Ella.

At that time, because he didn't notice the existence of the Lava Lord, Ella used the reaction force generated by the explosion of the magic shield to fly to the Lava Lord, and then Ella escaped like that.

"This time... I have to pay back what I owed you last time."

"○◆△——『Wind Blade』."

"△●○——Ice Blade."

"○◆△■——『Lightning』."

"▽◆●——『Wind Binding Technique』."

“■▽○——‘Collapse’.”

"○◇◆——『Strong Airflow』."

Low-level magic of various colors poured down from Iris's "New Moon Dew" like raindrops.

Noticing Iris's movements, Ella turned around, smacked her lips and yelled.

"Even for a dream world, this is too much!"

Chapter 44: The Return of Swordsman Elelaya

In this case, the only option is to fight back. For the time being, there is nothing wrong with casting defensive magic, but you cannot reveal the fact that you can cast many magic shields at once.

The first to arrive was the wind-type superior magic "Lightning". This magic focused on penetrating power and the paralysis effect after hitting, and it only needed to be blocked with a magic shield.

Magic Shield

Just as expected, the blue-purple lightning struck the magic shield, and with a loud bang, the magic shield broke into pieces and scattered, but the lightning also disappeared.

"It's good that it's not completely unstoppable. Next—"

There are two basic magics, "Wind Blade" and "Ice Blade". Although they are basic magics, there are at least three shots of each. Continuously releasing "Magic Shield" can certainly block them, but that will expose one's ability to continuously release "Magic Shield", so a change of response strategy is required.

Ella stopped abruptly and inserted the Pestle of Heavenly Punishment into the ground. Her long silver hair, which originally looked a little messy, looked extremely sacred at this moment.

"Weiguang"

A golden beam of light rose from under her feet, wrapping Ella up in it. Then the banging sounds of wind blades and ice blades hitting the beam of light reached her ears.

If the first-level magic "Majesty" alone is used, it will not be able to resist Iris's attack magic. However, all this is based on the "Pestle of Heavenly Punishment". The sacred attribute of "Majesty" is increased by 300% in power by "Pestle of Heavenly Punishment", so it is not a problem to block Iris's attack.

However, this skill can only be used now. The casting of the majesty must be stopped, which will give Iris a lot of time to chant magic during that period, which seems to be not worth the loss.

The last arriving 'Wind Binding Technique' and 'Strong Airflow' were also blocked by the light column, but the light column also reached its end and shattered powerlessly.

"There's only one 'collapse' left... In that case, just charge through it at full speed!"

"accelerate"

『Strength Enhancement』

Half-crouching, Ella poured strength into her calves, then leaped high like a rabbit, leaping into the air before the ochre-colored magic power symbolizing the "collapse" magic reached the ground.

"boom!"

A loud noise that made one want to cover their ears rang out, but it had nothing to do with him anymore. He had already jumped over the sunken ground, and the collapse magic would not pose a threat to him.

——But then again, Iris hasn't made any movement since before. With her magical power, this little bit of magic wouldn't even count as consumption. She hasn't reacted, could it be...

The dazzling sunlight blocked Ella's view of turning around to look at Iris, but Iris's voice, indicating that her plan had succeeded, came obediently from above her head.

"I've got you, Aira-chan. ◆●△, ◆●△——'Crimson Lotus Wings'."

A giant wall of fire with a radius of at least ten meters fell from the sky to the ground, and it landed exactly where Ella was going to land.

"It's actually the 'Crimson Lotus Wings'!?"

Seeing the leaping wall of fire at least two meters high on the ground, Ella's face became a little heavy. This kind of scorching temperature was not an illusion at all.

The magic of "Red Lotus Wings" is not classified into any of the types of attack, defense, or assistance. The effect of "Red Lotus Wings" itself is only to create a circle of fire wall.

If the caster controls the magic so that it falls on the target, then it is an attack magic, but if he directly surrounds the target like Iris did, then it is an alternative usage.

For example, in Ryan Town, Jayne used the Red Lotus Wings to surround himself and his soldiers to resist the Silver Wolves, which can be considered an alternative usage.

She successfully landed on the ground, but Ella was not happy at all. In this situation, there was actually no way to escape.

Just jump over like this - the height is not a problem, but the problem lies in the thickness of the Red Lotus Wings. Iris seemed to have anticipated that she would think of jumping over it, and deliberately increased the thickness. That kind of distance is definitely beyond her physical ability to achieve, and jumping over it is tantamount to suicide.

It might be possible to use the magic shield as a fulcrum to jump multiple times, but that would make it easy for Iris to sniper. Escaping in a fixed route in mid-air would make you a movable target in front of the magic caster.

The mind is working to the extreme.

How had I managed to escape when I was surrounded like this before... As far as I could remember, the last time I was surrounded like this was in the lava cave. Back then, it seemed like—

Suddenly, Ella thought of a solution.

Iris, wearing a black dress, slowly fell from the sky.

"So? I told you, Ella-chan, you can't get away."

"Is that so... Then Iris, let's give it a try."

While the effects of 'acceleration' and 'strength boost' were still there, Ella jumped up again. Then, she created a magic shield in mid-air as a temporary fulcrum, stepped on the magic shield on tiptoe as if dancing, and then gently exerted force, floating in the air again before the magic shield fell into the blazing sea of ​​fire.

"Hmm? Didn't Yajie teach Ella-chan that when facing a high-level magic caster, she can't choose to fight in the air? △■□—『Explosion』, □■■—『Dark Eclipse』."

After chanting the spell in a low voice that Ella couldn't hear, Iris smiled faintly and waved the Crescent Dew. A huge golden sphere and a small black ball hidden behind it began to fly towards Ella, but this was completely in line with Ella's idea.

"Magic Shield."

Almost at the same time as Iris, Ella cast her magic.

——As long as he could use the [Explosion] magic to blast the magic shield apart, he could use the reaction force to break out of the range of the Crimson Wings just like last time.

But the reality was not as Ella imagined.

Unlike last time, the golden ball of light symbolizing explosive magic suddenly flew in another direction before reaching the magic shield. When Ella saw the black ball hidden behind it, it was already too far away for her to react.

“Gu—”

The black ball hit the magic shield accurately, but instead of exploding, it stuck to the magic shield like sticky glue, then extended rapidly and wrapped around Ella.

"Iris?!"

"I won't make the same mistake twice, okay? This is a capture magic, and now's my turn."

As if she was holding the other end of the black rope in her hand, Iris pulled hard, and Ella, who was about to fall into the Red Lotus Wings, was pulled by Iris and flew towards Iris uncontrollably.

The silver hair that symbolizes Iris is rapidly enlarging in the field of vision.

If he waited until Iris held his hand, it would mean that the unknown contract would be successfully concluded, and many of his secrets would be known to Iris. Not only that, if it was the kind of contract that could read the other person's surface consciousness, his peaceful life would definitely disappear without a trace.

Is there any other solution?

Fight again with the power of a magic caster? No, even if he could untie the black rope, the outcome would be the same as now: being captured and then entering into an unidentified contract in the dream world.

and many more.

Dream world?

Ella seemed to grasp something in her mind.

After all, my current vampire state was also caused by the dream world. If I could reversely utilize the rules of the dream world...

I remember that after I first discovered that I had turned into a vampire, I tried to reset my healer status. The result was that the character attributes and occupation display did not change at all, but my appearance was still a vampire. In other words, if I change to another occupation now... maybe the strength value will be retained, but the appearance will not change.

This way, Camisia wouldn't see him with white hair and red eyes, and likewise, she wouldn't think that the "mysterious swordsman" she discussed with the Demon Lord was actually him. A flawless plan.

A top-level 116th-level swordsman could defeat a 34th-level Iris no matter what. Rather, Iris might simply be unable to break through his numerical defenses. If asked, he could cover it up by saying that the dream world allows one to create magic based on imagination. Even if the dream world's illusionary barrier still has the effect of restricting outsiders from creating things based on their imagination, he could also explain it as an "accident" - if no one could explain the fact that he had become a vampire, then there would be no problem in attributing the unexpected display of strength to the vampire. Even if he was suspected, there would be nothing to prove.

So--

『Select the character as Swordsman』

『Change level to 116』

The loli girl Elelaya with the swordsman profession has appeared.

Chapter 45: Reversal of the Battle

Taking out the swordsman's special weapon "Black and White Wings" from the storage - a gorgeous long sword that was black in color with white edges - with just a slight force, the black rope cast by Iris was broken. Then, Ella turned around and swung the long sword at the sea of ​​fire on the ground. The red lotus wings emitting hot energy were instantly split into two parts, leaving Ella with a foothold.

After confirming that it was safe, Ella checked her status bar.

"state"
