Acting quickly, I stashed my bow back into my smart bracelet's dimensional storage and mentally prepared myself for hand-to-hand combat.
I know I can't defeat a vampire alone without a weapon on me, but fighting to win isn't my motive to begin with.
By the looks of it, Nero will reach me in around eight seconds. That's all the time I need to stall for.
Yes, I was fighting to stall time.
I am not the main character of this story, so I won't act like it and try to fight an obviously stronger opponent than me with the objective of winning.
As soon as Magnus stepped into the striking range, he thrust his sword forward at my head to drill open a hole in my skull with his blade.
He was quickly going for the kill.
Unfortunately for him, I have no intention of dying here today.
Fwoosh—!!
I ducked and let his sword pass over my head while simultaneously willing mana into my right hand and balling it into a fist.
