I Was Reborn, but I Was Told That the Popular Standard Skills Were No Good, so I Chose the Skill of Collecting [Title]

Chapter 164: The Two of Us

“Spirit Descent.”

“Gubba!”

The dragon demon was coming and I was standing on a stick, unable to move.
I remembered that I had fought him before and had been unable to do anything.
I couldn’t decide whether to run or fight.
As if to help me, Elira, who I was holding in my arms, performed a spirit descent and hit the demon with a mass of water, blowing him away.
The demon wasn’t paying attention to the attack and was blown to the end of the corridor.

“Oh… thank you…!”

“You don’t need to thank me, just put me down.”

“Oh…”

I was trying to say thank you when I was lightly hit on the head.
Certainly, the first thing to do now is to let her down.

“Is that the demon you lost to before?”

“Yes.”

Elira had heard that Emily had saved me from being killed by a dragon demon.
So I wonder if she quickly realized that the demon she had just blown away was the same one from that time.

“So why are you so scared?”

“Because…”

It hasn’t even been half a year since I lost.
In addition to that, my status was doubled due to the effect of the title of “one of a kind”(Ikki Tousen).
Now it’s not.
It’s not surprising that I’m frightened because no matter how many times we’re able to descend spirits, there is no way we can win.
I was going to say something like that, but she put her hands between my cheeks and wouldn’t let me say it.

“Was I there when you lost the last time? I wasn’t there, was I? So why are you assuming that you’ll lose again this time? Am I that weak in your mind? Or are you assuming I’m not there in the first place? Am I that small in your mind?”

I felt as if I had been struck by a star, so I shut up.
As I managed to respond, I heard a faint sound of the demon that was blown away coming out of the rubble.

“The two of us will fight together, just like you did when you saved me earlier.
He’s coming!”

At the same time that she said he was coming, Elira slapped me on both cheeks, just enough to make it hurt a little.
Then she took me by the shoulders and spun me around halfway to face the demon.
After that, she gave me a light push with both hands on my back as if to say ‘Go ahead’

“Raiden Armor! Spirit Descent!”

I can still beat this demon! My mental health has recovered enough to say that, but I think I might be able to with Elira.
I…no, we have decided to fight this demon.
There was no way that we could escape so easily from this thing in the first place.
There was no choice but to fight from the start.

“Ha!”

“Come on!”

I started a close battle with this demon, just like before.
Unlike before, his attacks were no longer just big swings.
I wonder if it learned how to fight from other demons.
To be honest, if I continued to fight in close combat like this, I would probably receive several attacks in about three minutes.
That’s why I decided to fight at a distance.

“Thatz annoshing!”

I’m attacking from time to time using spirit magic that can be activated quickly by spirit descent.
I don’t know how much damage it actually does.
However, it’s powerful enough to stop the demon’s movement for a while.
From behind, Elira supports with spirit magic.
By the way, the effective utilization method of lightning leaked by the spirit descent has become tentative.
The way to do this is to add the leaking lightning to the Raiden armor.
Raiden armor was originally a skill called electrification and lightning armor.
Perhaps because of this, the Raiden armor had the effect of storing lightning.
Because of the lightning absorption, I didn’t notice it easily.
I stored the leaked lightning in my Raiden Armor and when it accumulated to a certain degree, I would use the Raiden Armor to absorb the lightning and turn it back into magic power.
This made it possible to fight to some extent.

“Gaaaah!”

“Soryaa!”

The demon is getting more and more irritated and it started to shoot flames from his mouth.
If it was aimed at me, I would avoid it.
If it was aimed at Elira, I would slash it.
Then, as it gradually got used to my movements, it almost hit me with its attacks.

“Gababobo…”

At such a time, Elira trapped the demon inside a giant water sphere.
But this demon will be able to come out of it in less than 15 seconds.
But if It can be stopped from moving for 10 seconds, it won’t be a problem.

“Haaa!”

I canceled the double enchantment and absorbed all the lightning from the Raiden Armor.
I consumed all the magic power and released spirit magic.
Even though I’ve done a spirit descent, this complicated spirit magic cannot be activated in an instant.
No… maybe it’s just because I’m not very good at spirit descent that I can’t activate it in an instant and the lightning that I released swallowed me and Elira and spread to the entire corridor.
