I'm Actually Not Overpowered!

Ever since the match began, I knew my chances of victory was slim.

Perhaps if I used my Mana Bomb or something of equal firepower, I could stand a chance. However, when I thought of the people I still had to save, it was beyond preposterous that I would waste all my resources here.

\'Death by Mana Bomb doesn\'t even give me any EXP. There\'s no point.\'

That was why I decided to use the only thing that guaranteed victory—my body!

Before this crisis occured, I made sure to mass produce my Godslaying Blade. One was because I thought it would be cool to use a lot of blades, like one of my favorite anime characters.

However, my main reason was to arm my people with sufficient weapons so they could fight back against the Demons—since Dulum was yet to provide the weapons gotten from the Earth Dragon Corpse.

I brought all the blades with me and kept them in my Inventory. Unfortunately, I couldn\'t distribute it to everyone before the surprising attack started.

\'And now, this...\'

Once I realized the kind of opponent I was up against, my mind went to work concerning the most optimal way to win.

If I just spammed my many blades like a mindless idiot, he would quickly switch to using his full power, and I would lose without being given a chance.

The goal was to buy enough time while also chipping away at his health and learning more about his abilities.

So far, I had gotten quite a bit of information, though not nearly enough. A major card I had in my hands was the knowledge of my opponent\'s personality—his pride.

Using it well, I was going to make out the most spectacular victory yet!

\'It\'s going to be a close call, but... I want to win!\'

"So, you now have many of those knockoff blades. What of it? None of them are going to touch me anyway. I can easily—

>FWHOOOSSHH<

Using the telepathic link I had with my blades—thanks to one of the Runes I made sure to embed in each ot them—I sent two blades toward Adu.

"Hmph. I\'ll just displace them somewhere el—"

>SPLOOSHHH<

My glowing blades pierced the Demon in his two sides, drawing out blood from him as he groaned in shock.

"H-how?"

"Your displacement won\'t work on any of my blades. They\'re Magic resistant." A confident smile crept on my face.

"N-no way!"

Of course, I was lying. There was no way I could achieve something like that yet. If I could, I would have made everything I had on to be Magic Resistant.

Unfortunately, that wasn\'t possible at the moment—the reason behind my half-baked form.

What I really did was use my Special Runic Stone to interfere with his Magic. I only had a few of those, though, so it was impossible to keep it up forever.

\'That\'s why...\'

Adu believing my tall tale was extremely critical to the plan.

"T-that doesn\'t matter. Even if your blares can get past my Magic, I can still simply teleport away. In the end, it\'s useless!"

Ad expected, he went for the second option. Things were about to get crazy from this point onward.

\'Let\'s go!\'

>SWOOOOOOSSHHH!!!<

As I sent a dozen my blades flying towards him via telepathic command, they all glowed and rushed in a flash.

"Hmph!\'

Adu instantly warped from his position, appearing in another location within moments. However—

"W-wh—?!"

>SPLOOOSH<

More blood spurted from his body as a separate group of blades now struck him.

\'Using [Five Seconds Rule] to see where he will appear is very convenient. Thankfully, it came to this scenario!\'

Before Adu could recoil from the damage, I sent another round of blades, this time over thirty.

"Tch!"

He must have been flustered and utterly confided since he impulsively chose to teleport again.

Unfortunately for him, what he met in his new location was an array of blades that drilled holes into his body.

"Gak! You—!" Stretching his hands in my direction, the Demon sent dark waves of spikes my way.

However, using my future sight and multiple blades in my possession, I parried all of them, sending more of my weapons flying at him.

"Shit!"

As though driven by instinct, he teleported once more, meeting more wounds than he intended.

"Gagh! Damnit!" Blood proceeded from his mouth as he shouted in annoyance and pain.

We exchanged blow—him by sending dark spikes and bullets at me, while I kept launching my blades and controlling them to do my bidding.

It was extremely difficult—controlling so many blades to attack while evading and counteracting his own assault.

If not for the help of [Fool] that helped my mind stay afloat, I would have completely been overwhelmed.

\'Not yet! Not yet!\'

As each moment passed, Adu kept being skewered and pierced by my attacks. It mattered not where he went, he always met my blades.

Since I could control them telepathically, and I could see the future, it wasn\'t impossible to make sure they always hit their mark.

\'I can\'t keep this up forever, though. I\'ll run out of blades at some point!\'

I didn\'t have unlimited copies of my weapons. Even if I did, my enemy was soon going to learn and grow immensely desperate.

I had to act fast!

"THAT\'S ENOUGH!" Adu roared, sending a dark pulse flying around him.

The blades that would have pierced him were utterly decimated by the dark wave, and even I felt myself almost blown away.

\'That must have cost a good amount of energy, since he chose not to use it until now...\' I noted while keeping my gaze on the completely aggravated Demon.

"I\'ve had enough! This is the en—"

>BOOOOOOMMMM!!!<

My Mana Grenade—a less powerful version of the Mana Bomb—detonated from behind Adu, sending him crashing to the ground.

\'I can also telepathically control those ones. Once his Dark Pulse subsided, I sent it lunging from behind.\'

"Gugh... you... I\'VE HAD ENOUGH OF THIS!" Adu\'s scream of fury sent the whole area quaking.

He swiftly abandoned his distance and dashed in my direction, most likely determined to finish me with his raw stats alone.

However—

>SHWWWUUUSSHHHH!!!<

My body transformed into scaly blue armor, and my majestic form sprang forth.

>BOOOOOOMMMM<
