“...Amazing. You can use this level of melee combat,” Leslie said while raising one corner of his mouth in a smile.

However, I was the one who was surprised. I thought he could only shoot from a distance, but the melee fighting skills he hid were better than expected.

“I want to see more of your skills.”

Blue magic power swirled around Leslie. The blue magic power left an afterimage and started spinning at a faster rate. Additionally, the Ether Blade in Leslie’s hand became sharper. The stones and pebbles in Leslie’s surroundings were slowly sucked to him. The force became stronger as if the N and S poles of a magnet were meeting and pulling with a tremendous attraction.

“I’m going to show you the true power of the Maschenny-Style Melee Combat.”

It was only then that I realized the black hole-like phenomenon was occurring due to Leslie’s blue magic power. I realized this was the true face of the Maschenny-Style Melee Combat. My body gradually moved toward Leslie like I was being sucked into a black hole. I held on with my legs, but dust rose as I was dragged forward.

...Amazing. I wouldn’t fall at this level, but I could only engage in close-range combat. The Maschenny-Style Melee Combat was like this. It was to force an enemy to fight...
