Chapter 109: Duel Trial (part three)
TL: clover
ED: eristol, xtostos
After school on the day after the theft happened
At the sanated dueling place
This academy has various physical education facilities
The venue for the final battle is the stadiuons
The stadiu
Spectator seats arranged in rey cobblestone
It looks like a smaller Roman amphitheater froloves of storing fro
There are nine Crystal Clusters and one Hold in one set of the gloves
And I put the other set with nine Crystal Clusters and one Castling in the pocket of my jacket as my reserve
I could hear the noises from the audience seat even onaudience
“I don’t want to stand out……”
“Hahaha, I don’t want to hear that fro to Harold who is e
My duel opponent Evan Haearn had arrived first and aiting
He has the Staff of Frozen Grounds in his hand as per Harold’s information
At the entrance on Haearn’s side, Charlotte, the owner of the talis with a worried expression
“Good job for not running awayI’ll praise you for that”
“The sareetings, a prefect stood between us
In order for the duel to not develop into a private battle, the duel in the academy is supposed to be conducted under the supervision of the prefects
The prefect explained the rules of the duel
This duel is to be perfor a runestone with a substitute effect on the chest
The side who has their runestone destroyed, gives up, or goes out of the stage loses
There is no rematch and retaliation is absolutely prohibited
The price of the destroyed runestone (very expensive)it
Once the explanation was over, the prefect took out runestones with a shape sithe runestones, the prefect stepped back to the edge of the stage
“I will let youher a chance to resist, even as a joke, it will bring dishonor to the es’ population”
Haearn quietly said as he started walking calnified attitude which says that he has nothing to hide
In fact, he is not a bad person
He just wanted to help his childhood friend who had sonation
One can even say that it was an unfortunate accident that he had stepped on Beatrice’s hands
Haearn’s actions were all part of the calculation of the true culprit; he is also a victim
I also walked to the predetermined position and looked back
The distance between me and Haearn is about 100 es, this distance is as good as none
When the prefect raised his hand, the noises of the spectators’ seats got smaller and save the usual stateic acadearding the case
Its contents are mainly in line with Haeran’s complaint and my defense
When Haearn and I confirmed that each other’s claim orthy of honor, the prefect nodded solemnly
“Now then, the duel trial starts fronal, Haearn had a co a stance
In accordance with his previous declaration, he will give iven me this chance, it will be rude if I don’t take hiht Crystal Cluster wands fro and set theic circles incorporating high-speed rapid-fire using Wand Alteration were created and activated
Haearn began to chant with a surprised expression
In no tiic circles and hit the ground with a sharp noise of wind
Haearn accelerated using ic and escaped from the line of fire, he looked at the afterh he handed over the first move to me, as expected he wouldn’t receive my attacks quietly
I continued to attack while checking the effects using ic that he activated just noere Gla cast now is Condensation shi+eld
Longstrider is a geologicspeed
Unlike the tie, but the ht
Condensation shi+eld is an ice defense ic
The artificial spirit autoenerates an ice shi+eld to block the attack
If he can prioritize defense over attack, that ly steady person
So far the shi+eld appears to be hard, so I can’t use sie with the wands in ht hand into soet is to cover the entire area above the stadiu emphasis on the number of bullets, I covered it in small crystal clusters si use of delay in its activation, the rain is set to keep falling for a certain a it
The Crystal Clusters in eI stored the four wands and took out Hold
Haearn gave up avoiding my attack and turned the newly completed Condensation shi+eld overhead
A rain of crystal clusters poured down over the ice shi+eld, shattered crystals and pieces of ice scattered away
I feel like I saw approxi deployed
It will probably require a stronger attack in order to penetrate everything and dae the person behind it
Now that Haearn is unable to move, I set up Hold at my feet
I set the activation condition to a sharp drop in the ambient temperature, so all that is left is to allocate the power distribution to it—let’s hit hies at once
And now all five wands froes
While focusing ical poas being absorbed by his Glaainst the rain-like onslaughts, the automatic protection of Condensation shi+eld is incoht, which is the weak point of the Haearn faical power consureat, it would still analyze every one of the activation condition and delayed activation I have set
Now then, to be doubly sure
I coes of four Crystal Cluster wands in my left hand to only four shots
Enhanced penetration, high-precision ai ability and increased bullet speed
Four shots of Crystal Cluster with the power of slaughtering a kraken in a single shot were generated at the same time near Haearn
Haearn accelerated momentarily and escaped the first attack by the Crystal Cluster
He probably used tooht
It was a good decision for hiive it up quickly because there is a very complicated spell weaved into the Crystal Cluster, so analyzing it would have taken too much out of him
The four crystals turned and repeatedly aimed for Haearn
Haearn barely avoided the first few ti the Condensation shi+eld
However, he seeh the path of the crystal clusters spears to so up using Longstrider
It seeht and he is starting to cast offensive ic is completed, Haearn will come close
If so, these last few seconds are my last chance
Let’s calm down
I can’t afford to make a mistake
I put away all the empty wands in my left hand and took out the last Crystal Cluster
The eht hand is now transferred to es Crystal Cluster in my left hand, I placed an attack overhead that will beco love and replaced it with a new glove
I took out four Crystal Cluster wands with ht hand
Almost at the same time as when I completed my trump card, all four crystal spears were destroyed at once
A wide longsword longer than his body-height was being gripped by Haearn’s hands
The handle is the Staff of Frozen GroundsThe blade is ic sword, a frozen air reminiscent of midwinter blew across my cheeks
“This is the first time that I’ve been pushed to this pointBut, you’re finished!”
I guess he’s close enough that I can hear his voice, huh
I waved my wand and made a crystal wall between me and Haearn
However, he caic sword in his hands
I silently weaved together the wand extension and put up barrages and barriers
Magic circles of Crystal Cluster were fired rapidly, shooting crystal spears with airadually reduced the distance, avoiding all of it
It seems iht hand and transferred it to my left hand and ht
I ejected a large crystal pillar whileis that the effect ti down from above has just expired
Haearn defended from the crystal shards with Condensation shi+eld that finally became free and cut the crystal pillar with the ice sword
A fewspells in ic circles behind Haearn
In order tohi Crystal Cluster in ht hand betweenfor a pincer attack
“It’s no use!”
The crystal wall, which was ht hand, was crushed to pieces by his ice sword
Crystal bullets aimed at Haearn from behind were also blocked by the multiple layers of the Condensation shi+eld
Now, there are no rees in the Crystal Cluster in both ht hands
One more step
Yes, he will arrive in just oneover Haearn’sas planned
But he didn’t take the last step, he just stopped
“A Hold spell? What an obvious trick!”
Haearn cast a spell for Disar deployed, a white flash rese bolt hit my hand
Ten offensive wands were knocked off from my hands
Five wands were also blown off fro I was about to take out, and rolled out of reach
“Checkmate, alchemistYou have no means to attack”
When Haearn raised the ice sword over his head, its blade grew larger
I see, if he does that, he would be able to attack froe of Hold
It see the reical power to attack
Even if I turn to run away, I think that he will be able to catch up only based on his leg strength
“You should have released the Glaht?”
“This Hold should have been set up before I released GlahtI remember all the traps you placed at that tiladYou shouldn’t be able to see anything now”
I was able to smile from the bottom of my heart for the first time today
Haearn froze with an expression as if he saw so horrible
It is too late to notice now
I took the last stepthat re a thousand charges, cutting down the range, I hit the blow that specializes in penetration with all my heart
The wand, which should have been weak, penetrated the stronga forced transition
As soon as I changed places with Haearn, the coolness from his ice sword and ice shi+eldthe Hold
The condensed thousand-charges of Hold caught him
Even so, feill be able to block the e
But, a h for me
Far overhead, the crystal clusters which has been set with Hold as the condition is enuine, last trump card
The aies of Crystal Cluster compressed to the size of one stitch needle, is the runestone on his chest
Only the artificial spirits built into the Condensation shi+eld noticed the s at supersonic speed
The brave artificial spirits made prompt defenses for their Lord
All twelve layers of Condensation shi+eld
The ice ic shich was raised above his head
Haearn’s own ic resistance
The substitute effect of the runestone
The crystal needle finished the h all of it and then destroyed the stadium’s stone floor
“……eh? What? This is—?”
Haearn was looking at the shattered pieces of ice and the pieces of runestone rolling on them
A thin blood streak dripped from a small wound on his cheek
“Just, when exactly……”
With a hollohisper, Haearn knelt down
His exhausted face turned pale
“Fro……”
Haearn’s staff fell over,silence, the prefect’s loud voice resounded
“Winner, Erica Aurelia!!”
At the sa cheer rose from the audience
It seems that there are more spectators than I expected
And then, while ad me as the victor of the duel trial, the prefect declared Beatrice’s innocence
1 Longstrider: another spell froet’s speed by 10 feet until the spell ends(source)
2 Haste: another spell froet’s speed(source)
I forgot about this, but here:
Condensation shi+eld:This spell causes a disc of dense vapour to condense out of the air surrounding the casterIt acts like a nor power depends solely on the power of the spellIn this novel, this shi+eld has built-in artificial spirits that will autoenerates an ice shi+eld to block the attack(source)
eristol: In case anyone is having trouble with the battle floill just put in a summarized version
• Erica pulls out 4 crystal cluster wands out of each of her gloves and goes rapid fire with 8 wands at the same ti duration crystal barrage attack and the 4 in the right for a stadiu crystal particle attacks both from overhead in order to keep the opponent busy
• As the opponent is struggling with the dual attack she puts up a trap of high powered Hold at her feet and alteration which will activate if the surrounding temperature suddenly drops sharply
• By now all 5 wands of her right glove are out of charge, and she used up all the charges of the left glove wands for 4 Kraken-killingthe opponent around
• The opponent tries to survive by cutting out on Glaest leecher
• As soon as his Glaht is off, Erica plans out her surprise attack aka final tru in the left glove as she has exhausted all 9 out of 10 wands fro up the final attackThe condition for triggering this attack is if the Hold trap activates
