Survivor Saijaku no Ore wa Hazure skill “Faker” de Tenshina Kanojo to S rank wo Mezasu

Although there seemed to be no visible wounds on its body, it could be seen from its expression that it had taken damage.

Perhaps, it couldn’t completely cut off the heat from the explosion.

It felt like the damages caused by [Wind Cutter] or [Ice Javelin] wouldn’t pass its defense. However, if the secondary attacks outside of skills’ effects were effective, there should be a way to directly deal damage.

I took a look at Aoi’s side. She was having a hard time since she had to deal with multiple opponents simultaneously alone.

To help Aoi, I need to join the battle as soon as possible.

Having resolved my mind, I held the two survival knives, which I’d bought previously, in both hands.

Now it all comes down to this, I will directly attack with the knives.

“Oooohhhhhhhh!”

Moving my exhausted legs, I dashed toward the imp while letting out a war cry to raise my spirits.

Of course, the imp was aware of my action and readied to intercept my attack.

This situation was where I would be killed for sure if the other party happened to have some attack skills. But apparently, it didn’t seem like it.

I closed the distance by running, and when I was about 5 meters away from the enemy, I fired the last [Explosion].

The imp concentrating on the knives in my hands was completely caught off guard. And I closed the distance further by using the explosion as a cover until the enemy was within my knife range.

This is bad. This is bad. This is bad.

I thought of attacking again with the knife held in my left hand. But it was difficult in this situation, considering my previous attack was perfectly seen through.

Although I hesitated for a moment, I stepped back from there and activated a skill.

“Try defending this! Oooh! [Vortex Fire]”

There was no way the imp could evade this attack coming from extremely close range. The flame thunder hit the imp directly and sent the imp flying away. However, the imp wasn’t exterminated yet.

It didn’t die even though it was struck by my strongest skill at extremely close range. However, I had assumed this might happen, so I immediately stepped in and made follow-up attacks at the fallen imp.

“Gahaaa!”

As I expected, my knife attack passed through the green light and succeeded in wounding the imp directly.

Successively, I thrust the knife held in my left hand into the imp’s chest and gave it the finishing blow. As soon as I felt slight resistance through my knife, the imp disappeared from its spot.

“Fuu~uu. That was so close.”

It went well because my strategy happened to fit the situation. Still, the imp using skill was a more formidable opponent than I thought.

It was strong to the point that I couldn’t imagine what would have happened if I did make a wrong move.

“Aoi! Avoid! [Lightning]”

Once again, I focused on the enemy and gave support to Aoi.

Although she reduced the enemies’ number to around half while I was fighting, there were still 5 monsters left.

Anyway, I will prioritize reducing the enemies’ number by firing my remaining skills in order by the strongest.

“I will cover you, Aoi. [Vortex Fire] [Lightning]”

With this, all my lightning-related skills were used up.
