Chapter 178: Magic Is Just Fancy Footwork
“Kill me? With that kind of skill?”
Though maybe useful for a sort of torture, it’s probably not suitable for killing someone. If my guess is correct, this skill was designed to coil around the opponent and break their bones.
In that case, the only body parts attacked with this skill—where bones could be broken—are the arms and legs, and breaking them won’t lead to death.
All I need to do is bear the pain and wait for the guards, who will notice this abnormal situation, to come to my aid.
It’s not like my subordinates’ organization will get completely removed just because I am not there. They would certainly notice if I didn’t return for a long time. Moreover, I informed the servants at home about where I was going and when I would return. There’s no way help won’t come.
“With that skill? What do you mean?”
“What I mean is that you can’t kill someone with a skill like that. At best, you can only break arms and legs. Why don’t you try killing me with magic instead?”
However, I’m not just letting things happen.
I provoked Blanche to use magic to quickly alert others of the situation. If magic other than mine is activated here, the magic detection sensor I set up for self-defence will notify my head butler at home.
“Magic? What good would using magic do now? No matter how you look at it, I’ll get attacked while casting the spell in this confined space with no escape routes. Do you think I’ll fall for such a cheap provocation?”
Blanche was not taking the bait. Whether it’s good luck or intuition, it’s incredibly frustrating. Just how much do you want to get in my way?
“Besides, in close combat, magic is just fancy footwork. This submission skill is the skill of champions. It seems like you’ve got it all wrong. The biggest misunderstanding is thinking you can’t kill someone with a submission hold.”
“What? That misunderstanding is that I can’t get killed—gah… Ehhhhh!?”
“Submission skill: Rear Naked Choke (RNC)! I’ll choke you to death right here!”
