Chapter 66

*Struggle* *Flail:*

My efforts yield no fruits as the opponent's physical properties exceed mine by more than a fair margin.

"Whoa. Whoa. Whoa." He says with an exasperated tone. "Calm down a sec. If you do so, I'll let you go. I only came for a wee chat."

Let me go? A wee chat? Humph!

Even if that's the case, must it be when I'm bathing?!

My mouth is shut, so I can't activate my spell as usual. My necklace is also not on me so I can't whip out an artifact.

If that's the case then…

"What the-!" The assailant's momentary stun at the sight of my magic still activating despite my lips being sealed by his hands, gives my spell the opportunity to hit its target- his right knee.

Before he can regain his bearings, I unleash more [Water Arrow]s -wih the system's aid, I do not need to call out the names- as I jump out of the bath, tethering mana to the soles of my feet to prevent myself from slipping.
