16-45 Pier Rock Kingdom, Oblation Contest (1)

Satou here I love watching sport ood with martial art matches that involve blood It's not because I dislike blood, but et froh

“This is quite a huge arena isn't it, Master”

Liza is looking over an arena made of ocher colored stones from the audience seat

This arena is apparently a historical structure es of Furu Empire

Liza and I headed straight to the Zaikuon Main Temple the instance we arrived at Pier Rock, but since the only Zaikuonin a tournament at the arena, the ritual is postponed until after her matches are over

Thus, I ith Liza to see the crowded tournament and also to kill times

“Huge~?”

“It's really really pig nanodesu”

Tama and Pochi showed up like poof

Looks like they got here, the audience seat, froh Tama's ninjutsu

Judging from the times, they must be on lunch break

『Show 'eth of [Warriors of Garleon]!』

『Don't ya dare lose to Garleon temple followers! Make it known that [Holy Warriors of Zaikuon] are the strongest eveeeer!』

Cheers erupted from the audience

The tournament this time appears to also serves as an oblation contest, all the players belong in teathe holy marks

There see, lots of book the holy marks loiter around

“The players for the next match have made their entrance it seems”

Garleon teae two-handed battle axe, and an oldsword Both are of upper level 30s, none carries a shi+eld

Zaikuon teaht equipped with a small shi+eld and a one-handed sword, and a priestess holding a longwith a round shi+eld The teht is level 29 while the priestess is level 40, rather unbalanced

“That priestess seehter”

Liza looks at the priestess

“Muscles~?”

“Muki muki nanodesu”

Ta like body builders, undoubtedly taught by Arisa

These two and their soft squishy builds won't look muki muki no matter what they do

Just as the two said, this priestess has a muscular build that wouldn't look out of place for the Supreme Ruler of the Century's End

Not sure if it can be considered a praise for a woman, but she has this reliable aura that would fit the word [Rock] most

She see at the labyrinth city ht know about her

“–However, is that priestess really thefor?”

“Yep, looks like it”

Liza's face looks like she finds it hard to believe

She's wearing priestess unifors show that she has the [Oracle] skill

『By the honorable narace be with holy warrior Senuma』

My Attentive Ears skill picked up the Rock Miko reciting son

Yellow light overflow out of the teolden circlet

That's–siranted by Raka

“It began~”

“It see sword old ht”

“They're not cooperating together nodesu?”

Apparently, it's going to be a one-on-one fight even thought each team consists of a pair

The teht rushed out at superhu sword old man

“Defensive fight~”

“Ojii-chan, do your best nanodesu!”

“The teht's attacks are sharp and heavy, but there is no experience behind the if it keeps up–”

Liza stopped her speech midway

Just as she's suspected, the long sword old man ht

But the reason why Liza stopped was not because of that, but the results

“Just like Karina~?”

“Sht came out nodesuyo”

As Taht blocked the long sword old man's attack

According to AR readings, the golden circlet the te seems to be a divine treasure of God Zaikuon, called [Zaikukaan]

Thanks to that divine treasure, he's able to match or even surpass the more skilled old man

“NUOOOOOO!”

Slightly later, the battle axedown his axe with the momentum

Looks like the battle axe th] skill while the Rock Miko used [Body Reinforcement] skill

“Full of openings~?”

“She went under the axe, going for Achilles Hunter nodesu!”

Ta their fists overhead

Before our view, the Rock Miko hit the battle axehis axe with her round shi+eld

“Her attacks are simple but steady”

“Slow and steady~”

“Axe'ssqueaky nodesu”

The Rock Miko ri her mace toward the battle axe man's temple

The battle axe man sacrificed his arm to block the mace and kicked back at her

The Rock Miko blocked his kick with her legs

“Grappling match nanodesu!”

“Not like Karina~?”

“Karinsa, but for them it's a clash between muscle-armored bodies”

The fight between these two kinda re

After soes, the Rock Miko snatched away the victory

The Rock Miko who gallantly wiped her nose off of blood is looking at her comrade seriously

“The tee now”

“Too many wasted movements~?”

“Ojii-chan isso wonderfully wondrous nanodesu”

The te for breath, but he's unscathed

On the other hand, even though the long sword old ht with a cos that he's also quite exhausted himself

There are cuts dyed in red on the old man's surcoat, put over his armor, here and there

“Surprise attack~”

“He dodged it nodesu!”

The long sword old man smoothly evaded the Rock Miko's mace who rushed on him from behind

The teht tried to slash at the oldwas a trap, as the old uided it toward the Rock Miko instead

The Rock Miko turned her neck and ht's sword, but she was forced to receive the teht whose back was kicked by the old man

“Oh no~”

“They're in a pinch nanodesu!”

As the oldsword, the Rock Miko used her body to block it instead

The long sword pierced her body but she tightened her muscles to stop the thrust

The te sword old man

The old ht's sith his gauntlets

Those gauntlets seeic tools

『Do not interfere!』

The Rock Miko who had throay the long sas stopped by the teht when she tried to help him
