45 Episode 13 Simulated Combat (1/2)

The chariot arena of the Lemurian Empire.

Normally, this is a noisy place, filled with the neighing of horses, the scraping of wheels on the ground, and the shouts and cheers of spectators. ......

Today it was quiet.

That's because the Lemurian Emperor Hercule had rented the place out.

No, ”rented out” is a bit of a misnomer.

To begin with, the chariot races held in the Lemurian Empire are part of the so-called ”bread and circuses”, an entertainment given to the citizens by the emperor.

Therefore, there is no problem in cancelling it or having only the emperor use it temporarily.

Of course, there will be complaints if it is used every day.

In the chariot arena, which usually holds tens of thousands of people, there were seven people.

The young hero of our Lemurian Empire, Hercule I.

Galfis Gallianos, General of the Lemurian Empire and Chief of the Cribanarius Heavy Cavalry.

Christophe Auguste, Admiral of the Navy, Lemurian Empire.

Lucanos Lucarios, Patriarch of Nova Lemuria, Lemurian Empire.

And Todoris Todorianus, the head of all diplomacy in the Lemurian Empire.

These four men sit in the audience at .......

I knew you were a fierce fighter. It is a pleasure to meet you.

A girl with hair as red as fire and eyes as beautiful as rubies.

Karolina Galleanos.

”I hope I can live up to your expectations.

And a girl with hair as beautiful as gold and eyes as green as jade.

Scheherazade Achaimenes.

The two face each other in the stadium.

”Hey!　Don't break it!　It's expensive to repair!

”Yes, sir!

Hercule called out from above, and they both responded with a cheerful raise of their hands.

Hercule nodded in satisfaction, held his bow up to the sky, and fired.

Hurururururu~!

With such a dumb sound, the kabura arrow rang ......

That was the signal for battle.

The first move is the winner.

The first to move was Karolina.

I'm not sure what to do.

Karolina's unique magic ”Divine Speed II” was activated.

For a moment, Karolina sinks her body and ......

She kicks the ground.

Karolina's figure disappears for a moment.

Then ......

Aaaaah!

Eligos, Carolina's beloved sword and contracted spirit, approaches Scheherazade.

In response, Scheherazade says ......

It's fast, but it's not unseen.

He flipped it back.

He then swung his sword with great speed and slammed it into Carolina's stomach. ......

Before you can see her, she steps aside and leaves.

The distance between them was about five meters.

I'm not sure if you've seen this before.

Yes, I also have a unique magic of 'divine speed'. I'm not as fast as you,......, but I'm not as easy to attack,.......

Then Scheherazade held up her sword.

It's a beautiful, silvery long sword.

It's a beautiful, silvery, long sword that won't break under a single blow from my Eligos.

Eligos, the Great Spirit of Swords and Love

He is one of the seventy-two spirits contracted by Carolina, ranked fifteenth in the hierarchy, and a duke.

I'm not sure what to make of it.

It's a great way to make sure you're getting the most out of your money.

Scheherazade's sword, which blocked the blow of Eligos, is ......

There is no doubt that Scheherazade's sword is one of the best in the world.

And ......

And it's very powerful. Not many people have the strength to take my Eligos head on and bounce it back, you know?

Eligos can change its mass and weight depending on the target.

For Carolina, Eligos is lighter than a bird's feather. ......

I'm not sure if it's a good idea, but it's a good idea.

”Is it a unique magic?

”Vajrapani II.

Vajrapani.

It's a high ranking spell that ranks right up there with ”divine speed” in terms of physical ability enhancement spells.

So I'll return the favor.

I'm not sure what to make of it.

I'm not sure what to do.

Both of them are god speed wizards.

But ......

But Carolina is faster.

Karolina is able to catch Scheherazade's sword with ease ......

”！！！！

She's blown away.

She rolls around on the ground and stabs her sword into the ground and stands up.

Carolina slowly pulls her sword out of the ground.

The sword ...... ”Eligos” was split in half.

...... That's absurd.

Karolina checks Scheherazade's sword.

There is not a single scratch on Scheherazade's sword.

...... This is impossible.

The hardness of Eligos is greater than any steel in the world.

If Eligos can be split in half, then Scheherazade's sword must also be split in half.

For some reason ......

Before Carolina could think, Scheherazade approached.

It's a good idea to keep your eyes peeled for any signs of trouble.

Metal collides with metal again and again: ......

And then one of them finally snaps, and the blade flies through the air.

It was Carolina's sword that broke.

That's the end, isn't it?

No, of course not.

Karolina immediately leaves the scene.

Karolina is faster.

Running away is easy.

You're always running away?
