Nea’s barrage of blows continued.
A spinning kick slammed into my side.
Then her left fist came flying toward me.
I managed to block it—but her right fist followed immediately, smashing into my chest.
「Tch—!」
I was forced backward, skidding across the ground.
Immediately after.
Nea’s leg snapped like a whip.
A high kick came flying at me.
It landed clean, knocking me flat to the ground.
「Haa…」
Nea exhaled, then declared.
「You’re weak.」
She continued, mocking me with a sneer.
「You really thought you could defeat me with that level of strength…? How conceited. Arrogant. Deluded. A clown who believes himself strong—pathetically overestimating his worth with no power to back it up.」
She tore into me with scathing words.
「Surely you understand now that you’re inferior? But don’t worry—you’re not special. All humans are tiny, insignificant things, meant to be ruled by spirits. So stop pretending you have what it takes. Just peck away at the scraps you’re given, and when it’s time for disposal, submit in silence. The right to decide whether you live or die always belongs to us.」
I lay motionless on the ground.
I only half-listened to her speech.
Because my focus was elsewhere.
(My psychokinesis just leveled up…)
I had discovered it during the fight—taking Nea’s attacks granted experience to my psychokinesis.
So I had deliberately held back from counterattacking, using the time to boost my defensive skill.
And now, finally, it had evolved.
(My psychokinesis has grown to a higher level. I’ve become stronger again.)
Thinking that, I burst out laughing while still on the ground.
「Ku ku ku… Kuhahahahaha—!!!」
Then—
I took a deep breath.
(Time to end this farce.)
I slowly rose to my feet.
Brushing the dirt from my clothes, I stood tall once more.
Nea looked at me and said,
「Suddenly laughing? Has your mind snapped?」
「No. I’m perfectly sane.」
I replied.
Then I declared,
「I’m going to kill you now. I’ve finished holding back and letting you hit me.」
Nea gave a mocking little laugh.
「Still spouting nonsense at a time like this… I suppose at least you’re good at babbling idiocy.」
I gave her a fearless grin.
「Then why don’t you see for yourself if it’s nonsense or not?」
「Just so you know, I haven’t even used half of my power yet.」
「What a coincidence. I’ve only been using around ten percent myself.」
I grinned.
Nea’s expression darkened.
「…Fine. Then I’ll beat you so thoroughly, you won’t even be able to speak your pathetic nonsense.」
She kicked off the ground again.
And came at me with a driving palm strike.
