405 # 386 Magic Ship Quest Clear and Ring Request.txt (1/2)

When we returned to reality, we returned the estorations to Lily first.

'Make sure you thank Est-Oration properly for the Est-Oration. You've worked so hard for Lily, you know.

'What?　Uh-huh!　Thank you. Estoracion.

Est-Oration glows. Maybe now Lily should be able to use Esto-Oration. Oh, and I should also make sure to mention that.

''Later, Saint Bright Dragon King said it was fine, but I used the Est-Oration's treasure release, so be careful.

'Yes!　What?　Lily, I haven't even used it yet!　It's terrible!　Takt!

Hoho. I stretch Lily's cheeks.

'Do you have any idea how hard I've been working on this?　I'll make purification pills a staple of your diet.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry...

Totally....I'm sore at the thought of this happening at least twice more. Then Setia asks me.

'What do you mean by that analogy?　Mr. Takuto?

'Let's hear it after we eat the purification pill. We've gathered the ingredients and we're going to Noah's.

I bowed in the direction of Skaaha's mansion and headed to Noah's place. The only reason I was able to complete the ordeal was because of Master Skaaha's help.

When I head to Noah's place and report on the completion of the quest, an info comes.

''I've completed the request quest 'Gather the Dragonwood'.

”You have completed the special event 'Noah's Ship of Dreams'.

I guess that completes Noah's quest...I'm glad I made it in time.

'Thank you!　This is going to be my best ship ever!　Oh, what about the cannons and stuff?　If you have the money, we can put up to ten gates on it.

Okay, maximum.

...a quick answer.

'I promised to help Noah build his dream ship. We'll have to put the maximum on board to accomplish that, won't we?

At my words, Noah blinks his eyes and then smiles.

'You did!　You can take care of the rest!　I'll have it done by tomorrow night, so you can look forward to it!

It was surprisingly close to the edge.

'Oh. I'm looking forward to it.

I said, and left Noah's house.

When I got back to the reaping, I sent everyone a text message to clear the quest and logged out.

After finishing my dinner, I went ahead and took a bath to relieve my fatigue. I'm more tired than I expected.

I get out of the bath and log into the game. I go to the Battleship's training room to check on Lily's evolved strength. I start by checking her abilities.

Star armor seems to be an ability that makes your body wear light armor and improves your defense. It seems to have a particular defense against magic. It's a pretty powerful skill.

I'm going to have to say that I'm not going to be able to get it right. I'm sure you'll be in good hands.

When Lily flapped her wings, countless light bullets were shot out. It's like a feather thrower's version of light bullets. It's usually strong.

The Ark of the Covenant is a skill that confines the opponent with a wall of holy light like a ward. The difference between it and the warding is that it seems to have the power to seal the abilities of the dark-attribute enemies. Lily has become the natural enemy of Noah and the others.

The reverse scale is the same as Love Fire and the others' blood awakening. The degree of enhancement will be different than most. It's said that the reanimation allows you to recover all of your energy when you're in a pinch, and also strengthens you. So the dragon was using both of these at the same time.

I heard that he doesn't know how to read the stars. Then let's check it out in training.

It's been a while since we've trained.

'Yes!　Takt, we can win, right?

Yeah, I'm serious about this.

'The scarlet ring won't work anymore!

I guess...because that's why you're so bullish. Now, I wonder how strong Lily has gotten?

duel

Opponent: Tact and Lily

Time limit: 30 minutes

Victory conditions: no combat, time up

Referee: Ion

The duel begins, and we both hold our swords at the ready. Me and Lily are set up in the middle, not moving. That alone is a surprise, but Lily is deliberately showing an opening and inviting me to attack.

''Well...aren't you going to come rushing in like you usually do?''

'If you think it's going to stay the same forever, you're wrong!　Takt!

I see.

I laugh at the sight of Lily saying that. I feel like all the hard work I've been doing has paid off. I feel like my training isn't worth much if I can evolve and heal myself.

'Well, I'll go first then!

I close my gap and slash at him, and Lily comes along.

''Star Sword!''

Est-Oration shines and swings, but I slid Est-Oration and tried to slash at it, but Lily was quick to respond. I'm not going to be able to get my hands on it.

''Star Sword!''

The moment he tries to play, the course of Estoracion's thrust changes. So this is the effect of the star sword! So this is why you were so quick to respond earlier! I barely hit the scarlet ring and change the course of my thrusts, but Lily grabs my left hand.

'Star fist!'

Seriously! Defense, in time!

Lily's fist changes course unnaturally and I'm blown away. I hit the wall and fell into a large figure. This worked... the light sword and light fist were able to deal with it because it was a straight line attack and didn't change, but the star sword and star fist seemed to change once, not in a straight line.

This is why Lily was so quick to retract her sword and the course of her thrusts changed. This is a pretty tough skill to deal with... anyways, if you're wary of the change, you don't even know if it's coming in a straight line.

'Yay~!　I beat Tact~!

I'm not done with you yet.

What?

I'm going to get up. Ahhhh... my stomach hurts. I check my legs and body to see if it's still affected... I slash at Lily.

'Wah!　Mwah!

Lily is surprised at first, but she responds to my swordsmanship, and we continue to strike each other with swordsmanship. Aeon and the others, who were watching, speak.

''Tact-san and Lily... it looks like you're having fun.

''Big sister Lily...probably stronger than big brother Tact. I can't believe she's dealing with big brother Takut's sword.

'You've evolved and fully developed Lily's talents... wasn't that what Tact was saying?　That one day I'll be able to cross myself.

Aeon recalls when Farida told him. In the beginning, Takht had indeed said. That one day he would be stronger than he was... and that time is apparently today.

'Sister Lily is pushing Tact-sama, isn't she?

No. Lily's getting impatient.

'What?　What's the rush?　Lily's pushing the tact...

Livina has a valid question. Currently Lily is quickening her attacking hand and trying to somehow break the tact, but the tact will not be broken.

''I don't think the current Lily-sister would be in a hurry for no reason.

Lily can probably see the future. It's this and the effects of the super-senses that have allowed her to respond to Takt's attacks. And Tact is aware of this and is measuring the ability of his skills.

'Does that mean Lily sees a future where she's going to be attacked by Mr. Tact and is scrambling to do something about it before she's done?

'That's the way it is...I'm not used to the skill, so this is not an option. Right now Lily has lost all faith in the future. That's what the fact that you've hit Tact and that you're able to deal with Tact's attacks has made you do that... and Tact is going to set it up.

I get ready, duck Lily's attack and go on the offensive.

''Acceleration!''

'What?　Star Sword!

Lilly also deals with Acceleration's acceleration. But Acceleration is faster than Acceleration's acceleration!

”Star armor!

Lilly keeps his guard up. We'll just have to do that, won't we? The acceleration is cut off, and without a moment's hesitation, Lily pops a scarlet ring into the sky. Payback!

Body blow!

'What?　Star wall!

My body blow is blocked by the star wall, and the star wall disappears. No...

”Release.

The Scarlet Ring returns to my hand. I used Famille and stocked up on aposes with delayed magic.

I slash at Lily and she rushes to defend herself. My attack is over your future, Lily!

”Illusions.

My attack is seen through and a completely different slash catches Lily.

'Time's up!　Winner Lily!

It stops just before it hits the scarlet ring lily. I guess it was superfluous to be stuck with the star armor... then the info comes.
