Bear-San Fights Bellung Part 2

The battle between Bellung and I continued.

I found out that strong magic, like bear magic, could not be canceled out.

Bellung avoided bear magic without attempting to nullify it.

In other words, even if it was not bear magic, it could not be canceled out as long as it was strong enough.

Then, all I had to do was to increase the magic power output.

But if the magic was too strong, it would end up killing Bellung the same way as bear magic would.

I released my magic while gradually increasing its power.

“It’s no use!” (Bellung)

A spear of earth magic shot out of the ground, but it crumbled back to ordinary earth.

It was still weak.

I created a spear of earth magic with even more magic power.

An exchange of magic attacks started between Bellung and me.

Bellung also unleashed magic, but I was able to withstand it without problems.

Our magic attacks gradually become stronger, confirming each other’s abilities.

Bellung moved his arm.

A blade of wind attacked me.

I tried to block it with a wall of earth magic, but the wind blade circled in.

I moved in the opposite direction of the wind blade and started running towards Bellung.

I used earth magic with more magic power than before.

Bellung’s expression changed.

The spear of earth magic collapsed again, but the speed of the collapse was slower than before.

Did the cancellation not work in time?

In other words, the borderline of whether Bellung was able to offset my attacks should be…

“Around this much, huh.” (Yuna)

I created a spear at Bellung’s feet with earth magic that had more magic than the previous one, but he could easily nullify it to become normal earth.

Did Bellung also increase the magic power he was using?

How much magic did Bellung have?

No, it would be better to rephrase it as the amount of magic his body could contain.

Even if he had a massive amount of magic power, it would only be meaningful if he could output the amount needed.

However, Bellung’s expression was beginning to change.

The composure he had at the beginning was gone.

None of Bellung’s attacks were a threat to my bear equipment.

I created an earth bear and used it to attack Bellung in a manner that I could direct his movements.

It was a success, and Bellung moved as I expected, with his tongue clicking every time he was forced to move from my magic attacks.

He dodged quickly, but I was only moving the earth bears to ‘guide’ him.

Bellung kept erecting walls of earth to keep me away from him, but I smashed them with a bear punch and continued to charge towards him.

“…!” (Bellung)

Bellung’s expression changed as if he didn’t expect me to fight him in close quarters.

The distance between Bellung and me closed.

I let the electric charge cling to my hands.

A secret technique. Electric Magic.

In this world without electricity, it was impossible to imagine an electric shock.

Few people knew about Electric Magic. If one did not know something, they would naturally not be able to respond to it properly.

Bellung, too, had never seen electricity before, so he was transfixed by the electric charge that clung to the bear puppet in my right hand.

“That magic is dangerous.” (Bellung)

Bellung’s expression changed once more.

Even though he knew that it was dangerous, it would be meaningless if he could not avoid it.

I closed the gap at once.

Bellung may have sensed the danger of the electric magic and used wind magic to move away, but I also created wind with my white bear puppet to chase after him. I then closed the distance between us once more, aiming to punch him in the face with my bear puppet, which was covered in electricity.

I have weakened the electric shock on my bear puppet so as not to kill him.

But if I managed to touch him, he would become numb and unable to move.

I had already proven its effectiveness on a red-clad adventurer I had met on a previous trip to the mine to obtain mithril.

If Bellung got immobilized, I would easily win.

I chased down the fleeing Bellung.

Bellung pulled out his sword to keep me at bay.

The sword and the electric bear puppet collided.

At that moment, we moved backward.

“This numbness…” (Bellung)

Bellung dropped the sword he was holding and pressed down on his arm.

The electric shock may have been instantaneous, but not so instantaneous as to cause him to fall.

But his movements slowed down.

I casted electric charge on my gloves once more, and went to strike my fists at Bellung.

That’s it.

Bellung pulled out a sword from what looked like an item bag, pulled it out of its sheath, and blocked the weak electric bear punch.

This time he did not get hit.

A mithril sword…

Bellung was holding a mithril sword.

When I fought the mithril golem, the electric punch had no effect on it.

Did he see the weakness of the electric attack?

Bellung looked at me with an observant eye as if to examine the electric charge on my bear puppet, and then he brandished his sword to keep me at bay.

“I thought I could do it without killing you, but I guess I can’t.” (Bellung)

“That’s a line I would like to say, you know.” (Yuna)

We were fighting each other while holding back.

Bellung wanted to study me alive.

Meanwhile, I was trying to avoid killing people.

But one sentence from Bellung changed the way we fought.

Bellung’s magic became more powerful, and he tried to kill me.

Our magic intersected.

The bear’s wind magic!

Three blades of wind struck Bellung.

Bellung also used wind magic, but failed to block my wind blades completely.

The weakened wind blades managed to pass through his defenses.

When they did, Bellung was grazed, and blood oozed out of his arm.

He couldn’t offset the bear magic, but he weakened it enough for him to withstand it.

Then, I could just make Bellung use his magic power until he ran out of it. After all, it would take a lot of magic power for him to prevent bear magic.

To sum it up, I planned to force Bellung to use his magic power. After that, I would hunt him down.

Bellung also fired magic at me, but I counteracted it with bear magic.

Gradually, the equilibrium was broken.

I had an overwhelming advantage just based on the number of attacks we could launch. That showed the difference in the amount of magic power we possessed.

Bellung’s legs became tangled as he avoided my magic.

He was running out of stamina.

Thanks to my bear gear, I have enough stamina and magic power to last for a while longer.

But Bellung’s stamina was not so good.

People have limits. He was still a human…. Well, I am also a human, just you know.

I created a wall of bears that surrounded Bellung when he stumbled.

Bellung reacted to the magic and tried to leave, but it was too late. And so he was surrounded by a wall of bears and could not escape.

I caught him.

“Yuna, are you done?” (Primme)

“I’m done, but don’t go near him yet.” (Yuna)

I caught him, but I didn’t know what he would do.

I slowly approached Bellung.

“I win. I’m afraid I have to destroy the magic stone.” (Yuna)

I could impact Bellung’s body through the gap between the bears, which would break the magic stone.

Good thing I didn’t end up killing him somehow.

“Don’t be stupid.” (Bellung)

Bellung glared at me.

Well, he probably didn’t expect to lose to a girl dressed in a silly looking bear suit.

“I won’t let you do it.” (Bellung)

The moment Bellung said so, his magic power was amplified, to the point that it was visible to me who could not see magic power.

And then an incredible scene happened before my eyes.

The bear wall collapsed.

Did he just cancel bear magic?

“Ouch, ouch!” (Ronne)

As I was surprised, a voice shouted from behind me.

I turned around to see Ronne holding her body in agony.

“Sis!” (Primme)

“What did you do?” (Yuna)

“I am only receiving her magic power, she will be fine.” (Bellung)

Did you mean that he was forcibly sapping away Ronne’s power?

He could do that as well?

“But it’s your fault. I didn’t want to do this either. But you didn’t want to be mine.” (Bellung)

Bellung’s eyes curved into narrow crescent slits.

I didn’t need that kind of proposal-like line.

You just wanted me for Primme in the first place.

“Ugh, it hurts. My body hurts. Be, Bellung, could you possibly…?” (Ronne)

Ronne started to suffer again. Primme hugged Ronne with concern.

“Yuna, Bellung is taking magic power from the residents.” (Ronne)

“The magic power of the town’s residents? How is that possible? I’m sure everyone has destroyed the device that takes away residents’ magic power.” (Yuna)

There was smoke. It was a signal that they had destroyed the device that took away the magic power.

“Did you think that I only prepared those obvious ones? That’s not the case, you know. After all, I have always prepared in case someone who wants to take Ronne will appear, so I prepared even more that were hidden.” (Bellung)

So that’s why he was indifferent when those watchtowers were destroyed.

“But you know, I didn’t want to use this because there is one problem.” (Bellung)

Bellung’s expression changed.

His light smile and petulant mockery disappeared, and his eyes became serious.

“I will not give you Ronne, even if the other party is the King himself, and I will not allow anyone to take Ronne away from me.” (Bellung)

Bellung shouted, and Ronne started to cry out in pain even more.

All the magic power being collected was flowing to Bellung through Ronne!

“Swaying Bear, Hugging Bear!” (Yuna)

My voice was muffled by the wind.

After I said so, wind wrapped around Bellung’s body, creating a storm around him.

The flowerbeds broke, trees fell, and the windows of the mansion shattered.

Soon, the storm subsided, and I saw Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear.

Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear were protecting Primme and Ronne.

“I’ll kill you, and I’ll kill anyone who takes Ronne away from me.” (Bellung)

He looked like a different person from the one I had been fighting earlier.

“Yuna, be careful. That’s not the Bellung you saw earlier!” (Ronne)

Ronne said in pain, and Bellung attacked me.

It differed from earlier when we were attacking each other to know our limits.

I could feel a strong killing intent from him.

Ronne said, “This is the side effect. A little bit of magic power is okay, but when he absorbs too much magic power to make himself stronger, it changes his personality. Someone tried to take me away from him before. The angry Bellung destroyed the whole area.”

Side effects… such things.

Come to think of it, I heard that the Knights became arrogant after they became stronger. I had thought they became arrogant because of their power, but maybe that was also a side effect of being drunk on magic.
