Chapter 353 "Crossing Swords Hero vs Valkyrie" (1/2)

There wasn’t really anything that signaled the start of the battle, but it was Lilia and Neun who made the first move.

High Magic Power Density Constitution…… Lilia’s magic power, which was tens of times denser than that of a normal person, allows her to make use of far more powerful magic than normal, even with the same amount of magic power.

With physical strength that transcends human knowledge due to her all-out Body Strengthening Magic, Lilia-san approaches Neun at top speed right from her first step.

As her magic power gushed out like lightning bolts, she swung down her great sword from above, making full use of her momentum. Neun quickly reacts and evades it though.

When the greatsword that cut through the air hit the ground, there was a roaring sound as loud as an artillery shell striking the ground, even making the ground cracked.

However, Neun was still a warrior with lots of combat experience. Not only did she evade, but she instantly created multiple swords and spears around Lilia with her magic power and sent them all towards her at once.

[…………………..]

However, they were repelled by a swing of Lilia’s greatsword, and some of the swords were broken into pieces before her power.

Lilia is undeniably a genius…… And it isn’t just because of her unique constitution.

Her High Magic Power Density Constitution was just one part of Lilia’s strength…… As Lilia was born with all kinds of talents regarding combat.

An amount of magic power that far surpassed that of ordinary people, dynamic eyesight that can see through a rain of 28 swords, reflexes that have almost no time lag between her eye-body coordination, and the ability to instantly make a decision depending on the situation…… Her talents are unfathomable.

The current King Hydra, Laguna, who is called the strongest in the Human Realm, had described Lilia as such back when she was a teenager:

“If she had lived in a different era, she might have been the one who ruled the Human Realm”

Just as Sechs told Neun, it would be foolish to think of Lilia as a mere human.

She’s a perfect mutation born from the human race…… the species inferior to the Demons and Gods, the species that was supposedly weaker than the elves and mermaids. That was what the monster named Lilia Albert is.

Despite her great strength, she grew up with a gentle and kind heart, thanks to the generous love of her family and supportive friends.

And now, the genius that could have ruled the Human Realm with her sword was attacking Neun without mercy.

Maintaining her momentum as she shot down the swords and spears, Lilia rapidly approached Neun and swung her greatsword.

Lilia’s strength is really quite simple if you put it into words…… Yes, her movements are fast and her strikes are heavy.

[Guuhhh, uuuuuu……]

Neun tried to catch the blow with her katana, but the weight of Lilia’s sword pushed back her katana, so she decided that she couldn’t receive it and immediately parried Lilia’s strike to the side.

Lilia wields greatsword, whereas she wields a katana, so Neun can handle tight turns better than Lilia can. After she judged that that was the case, Neun took advantage of the movement of her opponent’s greatsword and slid her katana to strike towards Lilia.

However……

[Gaahhh!? Aaahhhh!]

The armor near her chest area was shattered and Neun was blown away.

Yes, Lilia’s reflexes are also abnormal. The moment Neun started her counterattack, Lilia had already taken one hand off her greatsword and struck Neun with her fist.

After being struck by her overwhelming power, Neun bounced against the ground twice before landing and regaining her stance

Her shattered armor was immediately repaired by magic, and if one were just to glance at her, she looked relatively unharmed as she prepared her sword again.

[……You’re far stronger than I imagined.]

[………………..]

Lilia isn’t a knight. No, due to her experience as a member of the Knight Order, she did have that so-called spirit of chivalry.

However, she herself said that “she’s stronger if she casted it aside”…… She isn’t a knight, but a warrior, and if necessary, she will cast aside her sword and swing her fist to hit her opponent. It is only in this way of fighting that her talent is fully demonstrated.

This time, her opponent wasn’t someone to be trifled with. Lilia was aware of this, and from the start, she attacked Neun with all she had.

She wouldn’t even allow Neun the time to catch her breath as she immediately followed up her attack with another.

However, Neun was well aware of Lilia’s strength from her previous attack, and wasn’t about to let Lilia get close.

As Lilia’s speed was slowed down by the appearance of numerous swords and spears in the air, Neun sheathed her sword once, lowered her waist, and took an iai stance.

A godspeed slash, instantly slicing through the air after a moment of pause…… One would normally hesitate to step into her deadly range, but Lilia stepped in and tried to approach Neun without any hesitation.

Of course, there was no way Neun was going to let that go…… With refined movements, she unleashed her iai…… but her eyes widened in astonishment.
