Chapter 4 - Duel

Chapter 4

Louie has engaged battle with the Campion

The Campion has a more stats than Louie, but it's Hp is below 55% 

Each of them send blow to each other

Louie was astonish in the Campion's attack

They're Hp is both decreasing rapidly

"Ahhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!"

Despite, Louie reinforcing his body with elemental magic the Campion still exceed Louie's power in terms of Attack damage and defense.

"Aww! Even though i reinforced my body with elemental it's attack gave me so much damage"

So there's a chance Louie might lose the duel

Louie attacked continuously.

"s**t, i need another way, i thought i can match up with him just with this magic"

He can't control his body because it's his first time using rage and it is still influences his senses. The campion had the advantage.

"My body can't stop attacking, so this is rage skill, i better practicing it, later"

Louie was inflicted with a lot of damage.

*Louie Coughs blood

While on fight his experience and raise proficiency of martial arts

Martial arts proficiency rose to level 7

Synergy rose to level 2 the effect leveled up

Mp, sp, and hp recovery and capacity rose up it's level 

Extra special skill upon meeting the condition: Endurance

"Waahw , new skill, and it is special, so what dies this skill can do?"

Endurance lets the user have 1 hp left even after recieving a 1 hit attack, it has no cooldown and few mp cost. Endurance skill can't be used when 1 hp is left it need atleast 2 hp to be activated.

"s**t this is literally a cheat, am i allowed to have it ?"

"Thank god, you truly hears my help"

Louie knew what to do.

As he attacks the campion, he spams on using endurance skill, letting him be saved from blunt attacks leaving him with 1 hp while his auto hp and mp recovery helps him to support endurance skill.

"What's the matter, horsyy, surprised i'm taking your attacks confidently?"

"Hehe, time to finish this"

And he uses Synergy skill making the Campion Stun.

The combination technique was great, but another problem occurred

His Rage has reached it's limit all effects has deactivated, without he can deal damage to the Campion in a matter of time

"Whaaaatt??? Whatt??!!!"

"Of all the time, are you kidding me?!"

The monster has auto hp recovery too, if he will not be killed quickly his hp will recover soon.

"This Halimaw will be Concious again soon, i need to do something!"

Louie quickly thinks things through

He doesn't have enough mp left before the Campion attacks, but he recovered enough hp.

"Ohh i remember, so it's time to use you then"

An Heat ray appeared in his mouth, piercing through the Campion's berserk barrier and finally to the halimaw itself. Putting a hole in it's chest.

Louie used the converter skill making him able to use the skill heat ray, using his hp points instead Mp points

The attack leave Louie with 1 hp, and he fainted, Ran catches him.

Finally, the attack was succesfully defended.

They informed the villagers.

"Guys, it is now safe"

Ask for forgiveness, since Louie felt that attack was consequence from his action and he was weak, even he is a hero.

"I know some of you are not happy, i am really sorry for your loss, i am the one to blame, that Halimaw was after me, and you all got caught up in it, i am accepting any punishment."

Ran spoke after Louie

Ran ask for forgiveness too because he was the one who lure it to Louie in the first place.

"No it is really my fault, if i didn't lure it in you in the first place, all this thing won't happen, so please i should be the one to be punished."

The Villager head speak

"Louie, it's not your fault, no need for sorry, even that is the case, it will still be our choice to protect our fellow, and as for you Ran you will help to reconstruct this village, start it by repairing the barrier. That will be your punishment, that's all, now gather the corpse of the loss and we will pay respect to their sacrifices.

"Old hagg! You are aliveeee, i am really worried you might got caught in the battle, huhuhuhu"

"Don't worry even if i am old i can handle my self"

After a weeks of reconstructing the village

"Master Ran i think, i'll be going for a journey"

"No worries,i'll prepare your things for departure Louie  and i'll inform everyone"

Louie decided to go on a journey, for a lot of reason 

He wants to learn more about this world, to not cause problem to the ones he care for, to get stronger and a way to get into his own world.

Before he left for a journey, the village had a farewell party for Louie, and finally ge was recognized by everyone as a hero.

"Everyone, i'm really grateful for ending up here from the start, i'll be on journey for a while, please take care of yourselves, i'll comeback, thank you for everything."

*Sob sob sob

Everyone Bowed to him, thank him for saving them, giving warm to the village and they recognized him as a hero

Some villager that is close to Louie and Ran see him off

Ran say his goodbye

"Goodbye, Louie, see you later."

"Goodbye everyone, i promise i will be back, strong enough to defend the village"

A smith hurried to Louie

"Louie i almost forgot, i forged this weapon from the remains of the Halimaw, it's not strong as a kampilan but i will be useful in your Journey, take care"

Finally Louie departs

Meanwhile, some travelers that came from the village Marikeños spread the news of a unknown hero, the news reached the Empire, felt alarmed, and decided to investigate the village.

"Bongjo, investigate that rumored village"

"Yes, my lord"
