Chapter 199: Contradiction (2/2)

He noticed his gladius sword turned rusty out of a sudden!

'Could it be, those fin blades aren't just ordinary blades that are made of water?'

Unfortunately, Yman's gladius sword was just an ordinary sword and doesn't have any resistance against it.

At the moment, his gladius sword seemed like it took a big leap of time.

Yman summoned the crimson mana and coated the gladius to extend its life for a little. And he summoned his Deity's mana without permission to coat the dagger.

”What, two types of mana? Crimson can use two different types of mana?”

Cinde was dumbfounded when she saw the two different colors of magical energy coating his weapons.

”Well, humans can use their Deity's mana as well. And in addition to their own, it would be two types in total.”

”Ah, i-is that so?” She forgot that Crimson was a human and not a Demihuman like them.

Yman kicked the floor and engaged in exchange once again.

Ting ting ting ting ting…!

Both of them received damages and cuts. But thanks to their healing ability. They healed in an instant the wounds they received.

He bent his body backward to dodge the horizontal slash, coming from his left. Then he sent a kick, but the enemy was able to step back.

Yman twitched his brow. The boss had become more careful.

The next second,

Sistela suddenly screamed.

Yman took a quick glimpse and saw at the corner of his eyes that the sphere bubbles increase their size.

A moment later, he noticed the boss hastily move away.

Yman had a bad premonition about it. He wonde11red what it was. Regardless, he needed to stay away from it too.

However,

Sistela screamed.

”What!?” Yman uttered in surprise. ”A homing type?”

Just after saying it, one of the spheres shot towards him. Then it was followed by the thunderous explosion. A cloud of smoke blossomed after.

Cinde wasn't able to hold herself and stood from her seat.

”Calm down,” Rea muttered. After all, it was only a training room. He would respawn outside the door when he died inside. After all, inside the room was a combination of high-level magic with the addition of restoration, illusion, and other high-level spells. All of these were prepared to make this training pavilion a safe training ground and a challenging one.

However, Rea could not find Crimson outside the door. She was certain that he was hit by that explosion.

Without waiting for the smoke to dissipate, another sphere came falling towards the cloud of smoke. Then it was followed by another one.

Cinde was holding his breath.

Rea was acting cool, but deep inside she was worried about him. She was even gripping the hem of her dress without her knowing.

She only wanted to act aloft in front of him. After all, she was a princess! And that guy was just a poor thief who likes taking advantage of his victim's belongings.

And he was a battle freak. And sometimes he had random attitudes. And although he was a mysterious person that was masking his real self, she knew that he was a person she could depend on. Especially in her current situation in which random group of people was trying to abduct her.

Sometimes, she wished to live as a normal girl. But Rea also believed that her Grace Htraerea would not give her this kind of life if she wasn't capable of it. Since she was the intended one who possessed this body and soul. All she had to do was to overcome all the hardship that was coming to her.

It was also the reason why she chose him over other stronger people in the adventurers guild.

Because he was a person that only had an issue with money, and she didn't feel any lustful thought from him towards her -- which she mostly felt from other people when they gaze at her. Though she started to feel down about it.

For once, she wondered why she wasn't happy that she could not feel any feeling of desire from him towards her.

Maybe it was just her illusion. She denied the thought that she was starting to develop a passive feeling towards him.

After all, he was the type of person who could easily lie. And he had no restraint of doing bad things for the sake of gaining money.

She believed he wasn't an ideal man. Although Rea was saying it in her mind, something within her was contradicting this thought of her.

She didn't know what was happening to her. Perhaps she misunderstood herself. Maybe it wasn't a passive feeling.

While Rea was busy musing and couldn't come up with understanding to herself. Beside her, Cinde was stunned while watching the fight.
