Chapter 43 (2/2)

However, Laura's strengthening magic would even strengthen her endurance.

That is why, she could continue to accelerate.

Her speed increased with each additional step, sprinting while opening holes on the ground.

She reached the level where she could defeat a Behemoth with just a tackle, and swung her sword down towards her father.

「NUOOOH!!」

It looks like that one attack has far exceeded Bruno's expectations.

Although he was barely able to stop the slash with his own sword, he was not able to kill the impact, and almost collapsed backward.

However, in reality, he did not fall down.

He fixed his posture using an incredible strength, and countered Laura, sending her flying.

「Otou-san……he's really amazing!」

Laura became happy that her attack was not effective.

The power of the attack right now was one with strengthening magic used that even Anna would become minced in an instant.

Because of that, she cannot use it in training.

She attacked believing that her father could receive it, he did as she expected, and even sent her flying.

She was moved.

The feeling of having an opponent that one could be serious with is great.

It was similar to that feeling during the fight against Charlotte.

「Haa, haa……I see, it looks like you became a little stronger」

Bruno's breathing became rough.

This is not because he was tired, but because he was surprised with Laura's attack.

“This isn't the limit of Father's strength” Laura believes that.

「Laursan, as expected desu wa! Continue that and make Otou-sama shut up! There is no need to hold back on a person who would say that magicians are so d.a.m.n useless!」

Charlotte shouted from the second floor.

It looks like she had listened on the conversation earlier on. Did she place her ear on the floor or something.

But even so, she was quite excited.

She is alright because Anna was holding her from behind, but she might fall if something goes wrong.

「It's not because Charlotte-san said it, but……I will go stronger from now on!」

「Eh, more you say?! Laura, wait!」

「I won't wait!」

Ignoring her father who was panicking, Laura chanted her spell.

「Come forth, lightning spirits. I shall give you my magic powers. Let everything know. Enlighten them what destruction is」

A giant appeared between Laura and Bruno.

It was a lightning spirit many times larger than their house.

「Haaaaa?!! H-Hey wait……d.a.m.n it! Alright, I'll receive it! Come on!!」

「Thank you, Otou-san! Go, spirit!」

The lightning spirit changed a part of its body, manifesting a lightning sword from its right hand.

That blade that was so long it could split even a dragon into two, it was swung down to Bruno.

「UORYAAAAAAA!!」

Bruno roared with all he had and countered.

And the result wasーー.
