Vol 7 Chapter 22 (2/2)
If she were invisible to me, I must have been invisible to her……
“【Lightning Storm】!!”
Earthher defenses, so I tried to use lighting ic
The ated
In the next h the arena before blinding flashes of lightning struck the ground
Since the arena was so large Ithe bleachers, but the flash and loud booe
Many of the spectators were clutching their ears and crouching on the ground
The elves’ sensitive hearing had an unfortunate drawback
As for Ferufivisurotte herself, through the ground around her had been charred black, she stood there perfectly fine
Judging from her state, she appeared to have created so her
I was the ant in this situation…… I gruy
“Haa, that was surprising It really was But, why did you lower the power?”
“Muu……”
Ferufivisurotte brushed the dust out of her long bluish-purple hair as she spoke, but she’d still detected the slightest shi+ft in the flow of my own mana
I’d been afraid of the collateral dae, so I unconsciously held back What type of senses did she possess?
While I was thinking about such things, she started on her own
“Heya, here I come!!”
Six photospheres eed around her when she said that and they instantly caht line
They cut through the air in an instant, and when I dodged the spheres I heard a dull sound before one of theround and set off a small explosion
I es appeared all over the arena with each explosion, I nearly lostmultiple times
In the edge ofaround Ferufivisurotte before they were sent flying after me
…… I’d becoe
“【Dimensional Step】!”
I invoked ic and materialized in her blind spot behind her
When I vanished and instantaneously appeared behind Ferufivisurotte, I could clearly hear the spectator’s astonished gasps
“【Sacred Lightning Sword】!”
Blue electricity sprung fro the blade to transforinal size, which e sound as it came into contact with the air
“Ohh? That’s interesting”
She had already grasped eblade
All of her photospheres simultaneously fleards me, but I cut them doith the 『Holy Thunder Sword』 Some of the spheres vanished while other flew off and exploded around the arena
When I noticed that the dust was drifting towards Ferufivisurotte I realized that she was currently stationed doind froic to move into her blind spot
“【Dimensional Step】”
My lighting blade was priic several ti at her from behind However……
Bachiiinn!
She grabbed hold of the blade where didn’t have a physical sword under it
“Tsk, tsk…… It’s i around such a noisy thing, ya knoon’t say its cowardly to attack from behind, but don’t you have any other ideas?”
While she lectured me and chuckled, my attention was focused on the hand she held the sith
“May I ask how you’re holding the 『Holy Thunder Sword』?”
The actual blade was still underneath the electricity of course, but she’d catch a section of the sithout a physical base, so that should have been impossible, yet not only had she done it, it didn’t seem like the electricity affected her
Wait, there was a thin layer of light wrapped around her body, could it……?
Once I ed to stop her movement, I could clearly examine her
“It’s easy for a dragon king’s scales to be daed on their own Their true value is the ability to infuse theic attacks”
The ain, her tail was raised and the crystal sword attacked me
I tried to pull my sword out of her hand, but when I focused my attention on that point, the electricity in that localized area was suddenly amplified and her hand was repelled
“Haa!?”
Ferufivisurotte was caught off guard by this, and both of us retreated in response to the unexpected occurrence, givingI needed to deflect her crystal-tipped tail with my sword
The collision of our blades sent out a high-pitched screalared at each other
Her ability to hold the lighting blade proved thather body
A dragon king fully clad in that thin, shi+ning light was capable of negatingher iic
If all of my attacks were ineffective then I had no chance of victory……
However, her previous reaction…… could I have betrayed her expectations?
However, there weren’t a lot of methods that could capitalize on that hope
Up until now I’d eical power as much as possible, and that behavior seemed to have stuck
Magic was harder to control in this world because, unlike in the gath of a spell could be altered
If I lost control of a spell, the e what I didn’t intend to
That’s why I used ic
However, with that shi+eld of light, I couldn’t pierce her ironclad defenses
I needed a surefire killing blow……
Throwing down rasped ainst my enemy
“Come forth, keeper of eternity! 【Aion】!”
When I invoked the su clockwork began to shi+ne at my feet
A giant snake with the head of a lion eed from that formation
The lion snake slowly coiled itself around an to crawl up my body in a spiral pattern
Ferufivisurotte intently watched the spectacle before her
In an actual fight, there would be noin this, but one had to demonstrate their techniques in order to entertain an audience
When the lion’s head reached s and bit into e pattern that fused intohts
For the next three le suh, and its active tih the cost-effectiveness was horrible, in reality, it was an useful ability that briefly made one invincible
Thanks to 【Aion】I wouldn’t have to worry about blocking her attacks one by one
And……
“【Sacred Lightning Sword】!”
The blade was overwhely, as I pouredthe power into one point
Before the sword began to extend, I interrupted the flow of inal size
“Haaaaaaaaaa!!”
As I stared at the lighting-clad sword, I recalled the techniques I’d used during【Executioner Michael】’s descent the other day
One of the techniques she used, 【Executioner’s Cri sith overwhel power, yet it was a power she could easily control
I drew upon the feelings froe a…… it was difficult to explain this conflicting sensation
The lighting-clad sword had settled down, but it was difficult to maintain its current state……
“Okay, let’s go!”
With a spirited shout, I grasped ed her
I didn’t even have the capacity to use transfer ic at the moment
A pleased s over Ferufivisurotte’s face when she sahat I was doing and started to create photospheres in far greater nu them towards me
I changed headlong into the storm of innumerable meteors without any defense
The spherical bullets had the saround around me
Even when the spheres scored a direct hit, 【Aion】’s barrier coh the dust clouds the explosions created
“Woooooooooooooooooooooo !!!”
I let out a war cry to rid e forward
When another sphere appeared out of the dust cloud it grazedmy helmet off
【Aion】’s effects had run out
It took soet the 『Holy Thunder Sword』under control, and there had been very little ti
If the next sphere hit its mark I wouldn’t be able to stop it…… the dust cleared and I was greeted with Ferufivisurotte’s gruesohter
Her crystal-tipped tail moved faster than the eye could see as the two of us clashed……
“Ugh……”
I felt the blood leavinginto my neck, but it was merely a non-fatal flesh wound
As for the 『Holy Thunder Sword』, I’dhad faded, the bladed was deeply e profusely
Of course, the spectators held their breath and were left in a state of awe as they watched
I unintentionally let go ofblood-stained hands
Ferufivisurotte head hung down as she collapsed to her knees
“Arc!! What are you doing?! Use healing ic!! Hurry!!”
A fah my blank mind
When I turned towards its source I saw Ariane desperately yelling at me, so when I came to my senses I rushed to Ferufivisurotte’s side
However, oneon the spot she’d fallen, but the next she effortlessly pulled the 『Holy Thunder Sword』out of her own chest and swung it at me
Gaaiin!
Unable to dodge the sword that suddenly ca at me, I was hit in the face without my helmet and fell on my back
Because I had drunk the hot spring water fro’s tree before this bout of entertainment, blood started to flow from my nose after I was hit in the face
I still didn’t understand what happened until I raised my head, and saw the 『Holy Thunder Sword』over her shoulder and her pointing a finger-gun towards me
“Is that an opening?”
“!?”
I confusedly stared at her abdomen…… the 『Holy Thunder Sword』 had just been embedded in her chest, but there wasn’t even a blemish across her navel
……what the hell is this?”
I so nose
She had aher stomach
“A dragon king’s hu serious The details are secret, but why do you think we don’t imitate humans completely?”
She started to laugh again when I started to question whether or not dragon kings were immortal
“I can tell you that I’m not immortal”
I shi+vered when she answered the question as if she were reading my mind
“Well, I enjoyed this enough, let’s bring an end to this entertainment”
She thrust the 『Holy Thunder Sword』into the ground when she said that and turned her attention to chief Brain
“Well then, let’s talk about the co war!!”
When Brian nodded his head at her rereat elders stood up
“Everyone, ill be taking part in the largest war since Canada’s founding! It will be a battle to protect your countryes!”
Brian enthusiastically began speaking the crowd of people gathered in the spectator section of the arena
For the ti the iround and sighed after casting healing ic on my nose
“H〜m, I’m really tired today……”
I looked up at the clear blue sky above the arena as I grumbled
