Chapter 29: Learning in Fight like a Protagonist

"Don't think that you can defeat me just because you are stronger than me!!"

With an angry shout, Host pulled back its fist, turned its feet and directly circled to Sato Hikaru's side, while its other hand was burning with a blazing flame, and hit towards the back of Sato Hikaru's unguarded head.

"The great me's fighting experience is not something that can be compared to humans."

"Well…"

Sato Hikaru felt this punch was a little forced, the hands holding the sword were caught in flames, luckily, he had various BUFFs like [fire element resistance] and [elemental mastery] as well as [elemental body]. As a result, he was not injured.

In fact, Host's thoughts were right.

Although Sato Hikaru had a bunch of cheats such as [sword saint], [fighting master] and other talents of this type, most of them were growth type talents. It allowed Sato Hikaru to learn things much faster, and had better comprehension.

Among them were pupil techniques such as [stigma eye] that allowed him to directly copy and learn magic.

But in order to learn new magic, new techniques, he needed to see them or had experienced them himself.

However, ever since Sato Hikaru was transmigrated to now, not to mention battle experience, he had not even seen a real battle.

The few actions that he took was merely using the magic that he had just learned and performed long-range bombardment.

So, for the current Sato Hikaru, close combat was indeed his weakness.

Having less than three rounds against Host, Sato Hikaru had been forced into a dangerous situation, he was merely depending on his higher attributes to barely withstand Host's onslaught.

"Hahaha! Human, did you see! Battle is not just about strength!"

"Tch, if it was not for the fact that [A Knight Does Not Die with Empty Hands] came out of the mystery box instead of [Eternal Arms Mastery], it would be you who would be screaming right now."

Sato Hikaru, who had gradually adapted to the rhythm, smirked disdainfully: "Besides, don't you find it strange?"

"What!?"

"Why did someone who is clearly not good at close combat let go of my staff and magic and opted to use a sword to fight in close combat with you?"

"What do you mean!?"

Host's heart sank as it vaguely sensed something was wrong, it then clenched its teeth and then exploded its strength to bounce away Sato Hikaru's sword, and punched towards Sato Hikaru's head.

"No matter what your plan is, it's already too late, you definitely cannot block this punch!"

Peng! Peng!

"Impossible!"

Two muffled sounds were heard, Host looked at Sato Hikaru who was still standing straight on the spot, and said in disbelief: "How could you block that attack!"

"Hehe, you said it was the last punch, but it was actually a feint, the true killing move was from the kick…truly a demon."

Abandoning the sword in his hand after fighting for a while, he easily blocked the punch going towards his head with one hand, while the other pressed the sneak-attacking knee.

"How many more do you have, this kind of unexpected killing move…"

His blood had begun to agitate under the effect of [berserker] talent, his whole body started to release heat, Sato Hikaru, who's fighting spirit had begun to surge, raised his head and looked at Host, and showed smiled that seemed friendly, but to others, it looked like a smile from a ferocious demon: "Next, I will trouble you to demonstrate them to me one more time, upper-ranked demon!"

The moment the words were said, Sato Hikaru could no longer wait to fight Host, fist to fist and smashed Host to the ground and back by several meters, then immediately shifted to the side and kicked Host under the ribs.

"It's not enough, you can still go faster, right!"

"Da, damn human! Don't you underestimate me!!"

Host never thought that under ten rounds, the battle situations had changed drastically, it changed from it suppressing the other party and became the one being suppressed. It roared angrily.

Completely abandoning defense, it ignored Sato Hikaru's attack, and responded with punches that were faster by two points!

"Comparing physical strength, how could the great me lose to a human!"

"That's right, this is how it should be!"

Because the difference in size was too big, Sato Hikaru was blown back by tens of meters when he received the attack, but he was not worried, instead, he clenched his fist with increasing excitement: "This feeling of continuous improvement is truly incredible!"

While speaking, Sato Hikaru had once again appeared beside Host.

This time, Sato Hikaru had already given up some of the equipment's enhancement, and maintained his strength on a similar level to Host, so that he could obtain more combat experience from Host.

"Right now, Mr. Sato looks very scary…"

"That guy…actually had this side?"

At first, Yunyun and Megumin, who had been watching by the side, were still worried about Sato Hikaru ever since he gave up the staff and switched to a sword.

But seeing the current Sato Hikaru who was at a slight disadvantage in the beginning, and quickly stabilized the situation and even suppressed Host, a demon, after giving up his sword, they were feeling rather complicated.

However, Sato Hikaru did not have the intention to pay attention to their thoughts.

At this time, Sato Hikaru had fully immersed himself in battle against Host.

Under the support of various growth-type talents and magic eyes, Sato Hikaru was like a dry sponge, crazily absorbing nutrients as the battle progressed.
