Chapter 167 - Allen Cell and Political Marriage [18] (2/2)

「Understood. I accept that match.」

And the next moment I nodded,

「Okay. So let’s get started right away. Repulse〈Lonely Crown〉!」

He suddenly developed his soul dress.

「C-Clown-san!? What are you…!?」

A tremendous『weight』began to press on my body.

「Like I said. We’re going to play a little game.」

He moved from the sofa and stood at the far end of the room.

「The rules are simple. If you can move me one step from here, Allen-san wins. If you can’t do that, it’s my win. However, the use of『darkness』is prohibited. Well then, let’s get started with the game.」

Clown-san laughed mysteriously and declared the start of the game.

(I see… Overcome his soul dress with just pure physical ability without the use of darkness.)

As expected, it seems that he would not let me meet Rain easily.

I slowly got up from the sofa and took a step forward.

(This is quite tough…)

It’s as heavy as if my whole body had become metal. Even raising my leg was a struggle.

「Allen, are you all right!?」

「This ability is… You used it on『Don Gorg』once before, right!?」

Ria ran up to me worriedly, while Rose approached Clown-san with a sharp look.

Don Gorg – A man who used to serve as an instructor in the Orest branch of the Holy Knights Association.

I remember that when I, Ria and Rose, were attending as『special trainee』Holy Knights, we had a small problem with him.

「Now that you mention it, something like that did happen. Don-san, I wonder where and what he is doing right about now?」

Clown-san looked into the distance, acting as though affected by it.

「Well, let’s put that boring story aside for a moment. Let me explain my ability in simple terms.」he said, and pointed the plain black and white sword forward.「〈Lonely Crown〉is a soul dress that manipulates『repulsive force』. Currently, there’s a powerful repulsive force field acting on Allen-san. To put it simply, he’s now exposed to “ten times gravity”.」

And when Clown-san mentioned his ability,

「T-Ten times more gravity…」

「In such a state, it’s impossible to even stand straight, though…!?」

Lilim-senpai and Ferris-senpai turned pale.

(Ten times, huh… no wonder my body is so heavy.)

I moved against the repulsive force acting on me and looked up. My and Clown-san’s gazes intersected.

「Allen-san, I am going to test your 『resolve』 and 『potential』 a little.」

「I wouldn’t want to have it any other way.」

This is how the serious match between me and Clown-san began.
