Eh, I feel like this was one time a violent response would be appropriate. I mean, he did mess with her but he didn't really harm her. Her going for the instant kill was way over the top.
You know, nobody would have reprimanded him for killing that bitch in self defense, but of course instead you just buckle up to her... And it turns out it's one of those bitches who get ultra horny by a man stronger than her.

What previous interaction? They just met. And you don't use lethal force expecting the enemy to dodge. You wouldn't shoot at someone unless you wanted to hurt them, even if you knew they might dodge. She intended to kill him, no question.
I wonder if killing all the monsters in the tower will give him enough levels to at least react to the swordmaster's attacks, meaning he will be able to hit the stop button before being hit next time.
@cor3zone Except it doesn't, just because she thought the hit landed doesn't mean she intended from the start to go for the kill. And that was an interaction, not a direct one, but they did meet and he did something to her and she's aware of it, and that she couldn't stop it because she thinks it was "fast".
@So-chan
She's a Swordmaster. She wouldn't swing her sword not knowing the possible outcome. If she knew afterward that the damage was lethal (it would have been if not for time-stop cheat), she knew before that the damage would be lethal. There's no ifs or buts, she knew and still swung. She wanted to kill him.
He absolutely should have at least tied her up or taken her to a jail cell. She 100% intended to bisect him. That sword was already deep enough to be lethal and had momentum behind it when time was frozen. See Pg. 25 when time unfreezes and imagine what would have happened if he hadn't moved.
He really needs to learn some magic since apparently strength training for a year only brought him up to 'villager' level. Also he's really the only potential source of healing while time is stopped.
