Chapter 39: 038 Can’t handle you? Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation “This man...”@@@@ Watching Shane continue to charge at her with his broad blade sword, Laischa felt both irritated and helpless. “Last time, and this time too, does this man really enjoy doing unexpected things that much?” Although it was indeed interesting, Laischa felt quite helpless, unable to make him use the Holy Sword as she wished. “Can’t he just follow the mood for once?” Of course, the other party’s concerns couldn’t be said to be entirely pointless. At least, Laischa had her own reasons for wanting to force Shane to bring out the Holy Sword. Since her intentions were so obvious, it seemed only natural that he wouldn’t act according to her wishes. However, just as Laischa said, without using the Holy Sword, Shane, with his current level, wouldn’t be able to deal with her at all. “Because I haven’t shown any hostility towards him, he didn’t seriously plan to bring out all his means, right?” If Laischa truly showed an intention to kill, then naturally he wouldn’t continue to withhold his trump card like this. “Though he doesn’t seem like a hero at all, he doesn’t show the slightest bit of confusion in his eyes.” Normally speaking, upon discovering that the Demon King had already been defeated, that his identity as a hero might become the spark of war, and that his summoning might mark the beginning of some grand conspiracy, anyone would naturally feel uneasy. Yet, this newly arrived hero, even while brooding over this matter, didn’t seem particularly confused. It wasn’t that he possessed an exceptionally strong will, nor was it because his mind was particularly calm and composed. Instead, it was due to an oddly unusual ability to accept things. Hence, this newly arrived hero might continue to brood over this matter, but he definitely wouldn’t be confused, right? This suggested that he didn’t have a strong sense of mission about defeating the Demon King. “I’ve heard that these otherworldly heroes were summoned to this world after dying and were resurrected to help the Divine Race defeat the Demon King in exchange for revival.” Perhaps, the man before her simply viewed this as a straightforward transaction, or possibly an act of gratitude. Thus, it was quite normal for him not to be obsessed with it. With such a capacity for acceptance, if Laischa displayed real hostility, he certainly wouldn’t hesitate to draw the Holy Sword, right? “What a hassle.” With this in mind, Laischa closed her eyes briefly, then slowly opened them again. “...!” Shane, who was preparing to charge at Laischa once more, suddenly halted. Because Shane’s Enemy Detection skill went into overdrive, transforming into an unmistakable warning and sweeping over his entire body. “Boom!” At the same time, in front of Shane, the air around Laischa, who was floating in mid-air, exploded with turbulence. Magic power, far more terrifying than before, started to burn steadily from this young girl’s body. “Isn’t it about time we stop playing around, hero?” No, it should be said, she issued a final warning. However, inside that fixed space, Shane continued to look at Laischa. The playful emotion in his eyes remained unchanged. “How foolish.” Laischa’s gaze grew cold as she hesitated no longer. “Snap!” With Laischa snapping her fingers, the world around them changed. The piece of space where Shane stood was engulfed as if swallowed by a black hole, instantly transforming into a black box. “Boom!!!” Immediately, the black box shattered, causing that piece of space to vanish completely. Inside the space, everything, including the earth and soil, seemed to have been excavated out of thin air, leaving only a dark pit. Until... “Bang!” A second shattering sound resounded. “What!?” In mid-air, Laischa showed a stunned expression. Because... “Space annihilation does sound quite terrifying.” From the black pit, a figure emerged as if he had appeared out of the broken space. Shane stood there unscathed, speaking cheerfully. “Too bad magic is ineffective against me.” Indeed. Magic was ineffective against Shane. Not only magic, but even physical attacks had little effect on him. After all, both Physical Resistance and Magic Resistance had been trained by Shane to Level 10, practically nullifying all physical and magical attacks. Laischa had gotten one thing wrong. “To deal with you, I don’t even need to use the Holy Sword.” Even without the power of the Holy Sword, Shane was extremely difficult to kill. “Can’t handle you without the Holy Sword?” “Perhaps, that’s the case.” “But that doesn’t mean you can handle me, Miss Show-off.” That was the reason Shane was utterly fearless.
