Chapter 61 (1/2)

Chapter 26: Duel (4)

「Gu…au…」

Thunderbolt glared at the presence in front of her while putting power on her hanging left arm.

Beating the collarbone, she can’t now raise her left arm.

Thunderbolt laughed as she’s unable to pull her bow now.

「Haa, haa」

Thunderbolt that’s covered with wounds looks at Asuka with her blurring consciousness.

Her arrow had pierced the left chest deeply. Barely missing the vital spot, it’s not strange for her to fall down anytime.

Asuka smiled for some reason and stabbed the weight sword on the ring.

The two people laughed at each other and the dumbfounded watchers had time move again.

『W-what offense and defeeeeense!!!! Who would’ve imagined this kind of development!? It’s a battle where you can’t even breathe! Both of the combatants are wounded!! But is the fight decided!?』

The commentator raised her voice as she had recalled.

It’s natural, because she was also fascinated from the fight of the two Heroes.

And just like as she had said, the fight had already concluded.

Although both are standing, the bow user can’t use her bow anymore.

Her loss is clearly seen by anyone.

But, only the girls on the ring had noticed.

This can’t be the end.

「…Asuka-san. I’m glad, it’s you」

Thunderbolt smiled at Asuka.

That’s grat.i.tude. Then, the game should be decided with one hit.

It’s likely that they have stopped if only it’s the limit.

(Aiming at the middle of the forehead? That’s funny)

Still, she knew. She’s impossible to be killed with those kind of things.

If not then she’s not the Scarlet Sky swordsman he believes in.

「I will put my all in this attack and exceed your『Scarlet Sky』」

She pulled the huge bow. Thunderbolt aligned the string and tore it off, her treasure tool made an appearance.

Asuka’s eyes that reflects the G.o.dly magic spear made her burst in tears from happiness.

Gungnir. The proof of 『Certain Hit』that was given to her by the Osudia royal family.

She doesn’t know that this treasure spear is actually handed over to the prestigious family from a remote region.

「It’s needless to say the meaning of this spear right?」

Asuka stood firmly on the ground after hearing those words.

She’s going to take the blow upfront. She’ll believe in the strongest pride.

「Scarlet Sword, release」

She gripped it. The s.h.i.+ning crimson is the proof of her 『Scarlet Sky』

Everyone on that location had their breath taken away by the red sword appearing after a bright red flash.

Even Yuuto was captivated by the brilliance.

「I’ll surpa.s.s you. I’ll beat your『Certain hit』using his strongest scarlet sword」

She raised her stance. It’s a downward swing she repeated again and again. The foolishly honest her can only do this.

Thunderbolt smiled at the beauty of that scarlet swordsman.

This is the genuine Asuka of the Scarlet Sky.

(It’s a very magnificent masterpiece…but)

She posed. All what remains in her. She’ll muster beyond that.

That moment, her demon eyes had sensed the wish of the other side of the magic spear.

Smile.

Thunderbolt offered all of herself to that throw.

「If you can stop iiiiitt!」

That’s literally her full power.

All magic, all of the strength, she loaded all of her power, her last attack.

She removed the homing function, the fastest flight magic in the world.

She loaded. Pierce. She is 『Certain Hit』Thunderbolt

Her demon eyes can pierce the gap of the world.

Air, molecule, more than that, the resistance of the world. A single blow of the demon eye that pa.s.s through all friction.

「Gungniiiiiiiiirr!!」

It accelerates. The flight magic’s original purpose.

Acceleration limit. Exceeding the reason of the world even the speed of sound, her spear is beyond speed of light.

Her aim is the heart.

Asuka cuts the blow that can pierce the world.

「Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!」

Coincidence? Inevitable? The tip of the scarlet sword captures the light.

(aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!)

The clash impacts. In the short time where you can say it’s a blink, Asuka swung down her scarlet sword.

Off point. The flash of light the scarlet sword flicked cut down the orbit of Gungnir.

Thenー

A roaring sound echoed.

A blow that would penetrate G.o.d. The impact of the magic spear crushes all the soil

『N-No way!? The barrier!?』

The barrier cracks. Mihorin Shaunad bent her body forward from the impossible scene.

The prided magic barrier of the kingdom made by a hundred elites. The mystery that shouldn’t be able to be surpa.s.sed by an individual power is pounded by a blow.

Just now, it was the burst of magical convection. She looked in utter amazement as the dust soar up in the arena.

『T-This…I don’t get it! That was combatant Thunderbolt’s full power! Is combatant Asuka safe!?』

Risty also bent her body towards the ring to look.

However, Risty stopped her rus.h.i.+ng feet because of the expression of the boy on her side.

The meaning of his expression shouts the real situation.

『OH goooooood! S-She’s standing!! Combatant Asuka is stannddiiiiiing!』

The audience looked at the live scene.

Inside the cloud of dust is Asuka standing while gripping her scarlet sword.

There’s an arrow sticking on her prided Scarlet Armor. Still, Asuka of the Scarlet Sky is standing.

However, it’s not just her.

Asuka stares at the hero in front of her.

『B-Both are alive and well. What a fight, what a match. For me, it’s no longer about who wins…』

Inside the area where everyone is holding their breath, Asuka stepped forward.
