Chapter 417 I Think Its Because I Was Able to Grab it With my Own Power (1/2)

It hurts…… As my breathing becomes more and more ragged, I feel an unpleasant pain in my side.

The course was a lap around a large arena, and with so many obstacles to overcome…… I was exhausted by the time I reached the end of the halfway point.

I was able to turn the tables once when there was a Rubik’s Cube challenge, but that turnaround only ignited Megiddo-san’s fighting spirit and he turned the tables again, and now, I’m way behind him.

However, he’s still barely…… within range……

From the start until now, I’ve been running with my eyes on the end of the course. What obstacles would be there, which route would be the shortest…… With those things in mind, I constructed my magic technique.

To begin with, Megiddo-san and I have different basic stamina. I may be able to run faster than him, but I don’t have the stamina to maintain that speed from start to finish.

That’s why, yes…… “I knew that this was going to happen”……

Megiddo-san is ahead of me, and I’m following behind him. For me to achieve victory…… there’s only one chance.

Autopilot…… I’m the only one who can use magic in this match, and this is my most powerful trump card. This is the only card I have that had a chance of beating Megiddo-san.

However, this trump card of mine is a double-edged sword…… It’s difficult to say this, but the amount of magic power I have isn’t that great. No matter how much I squeeze out, I couldn’t keep Autopilot running for even half of the race course.

That’s why it was crucial to get to the endgame of this race with a gap that I’m able to catch up with…… and that would be the turning point of this match.

……It’s here. This is the moment! The distance between Megiddo-san and I is just barely enough to catch up with him, but whether my magic power will hold on…… That would be difficult to say.

However, all I need to know is that I have a chance of winning with this.

[……Autopilot.]

The moment I said the keywords, my body slipped out of my control and I sped up.

The fatigue I was feeling doesn’t go away, and I still feel some of the pain from it. However, Autopilot ignores all of that and forces my body to work.

I used Hina-chan as a reference for my running form. As for how to break through this obstacle…… I had the best model running ahead of me.

Stepping on the second stepping stone…… My body jumped to the stepping stones without hesitation and I broke through, using my hands as well as my feet.

Herbivore……? No, well, if Megiddo-san is the carnivore, that means that I’m the herbivore but……

Then, Megiddo-san, who had been compared to a predator, looked at the running me. As an intense smile appeared on his face, he loudly shouted.

[Kaitooooooo! That’s great! That’s a great speed you have! Isn’t that just great! Come! Let me see you sink your fangs on my neck!!!]

Despite the fact that I was catching up on him, Megiddo-san didn’t seem to be flustered at all. In fact, he looked as if he’s having fun.

He’s really a battle maniac by nature…… but, well, putting the act of biting his neck aside…… I still intend to overtake him.

My legs are screaming. I’m so out of breath that I’m feeling suffocated. Still, my body doesn’t stop, and keeps on forcing me to bring out my best performance.

Even though my body is adjusting so that it won’t break down, the pain I’m feeling is still hard to bear…… While my body continues to move, various thoughts come to my mind.

“How could I be working so hard? Isn’t it enough already? Even if I continue like this, I might not be able to catch up with Megiddo-san. In the first place, it’s strange for me to try to beat Megiddo-san, one of the Six Kings. It’s fine for me to lose.” ……Frantically pushing those thoughts out of my mind, I continued to activate Autopilot.

Right from the start, this was not a game that I could not lose. This was all just a game, so I let myself get carried away by the situation and joined their game.

However, yes…… There are many people who have helped me reach this place. Eden-san, Pandora-san, Iris-san…… and lastly……

[Master! Do your best!!!]

Even in the arena filled with heated cheers, I could still strangely hear her voice. With her cheers, I somehow felt like my legs, which should have been moving automatically, gaining strength.

Anima’s voice, and a glimpse of her visage, gave me the courage to bring out my true final joker.

Breaking through the tightrope obstacle, despite being greatly outdistanced, I reached the final straight line.

At that moment, I deactivated Autopilot once and at the same time, reactivated it with the new keywords.

[Autopilot…… Limit Release!]

I didn’t want to use this if it’s possible. After all, using this hurts like hell…… But my opponent is Megiddo-san. He isn’t someone I can win against without taking any risks.

Limit Release…… It is a key word that removes the Autopilot’s restriction of “moving while making sure that it will not destroy my body”.

It’s the same power I used when I fought Anima when she was a Black Bear……

It was a magic that allowed my body to exhibit an extraordinary amount of power.

[What!?]
