"Whether it’s magic or sword, if you fall for a trap, it leads to the underworld just the same."
I carelessly sent forth a sharp sphere resembling a Wind Cutter towards Ganoff. Unfortunately, Ganoff was too straightforward. True to the teachings learned in an academy filled with skilled mentors, he responded in a predictable manner. But real combat is nothing like theory. What one learns in theory is utterly useless in practice. Instead, it merely exposes routines to the enemy.
Whoosh! The sphere flew like a chainsaw shaped by the wind, and soon, Ganoff appeared exactly where I had predicted.
"Huh...?"
A scream of despair. That was the last sound Ganoff left behind in this world.
Crunch! Crunch! Crunch!
The Wind Cutter had truly shredded his body like a blender would. It was a ghastly sight, one that an ordinary person would never want to witness. Even a regular Wind Cutter wouldn't have failed to inflict serious wounds, and with my enhancement through Transcendence, the outcome was catastrophic. Ganoff’s torn flesh scattered in all directions, and unexpectedly, a ring flew towards me.
That ring had a gold band that seemed artifact-like at first sight.
