Episode 42.13 (2/2)

Solusgia got down the audience seat into the arena's field, he stood opposite to Lecan and fetched a shield from a stylish-looking bag hanging on his left waist before putting it on his left hand.

(Oh?)

(A shield that big from a bag that small?)

(I see. So that's that <Free Box> thing.)

Haydent announced the duel's terms.

Solusgia and Lecan pledged.

Solusgia drew his sword.

Lecan too drew <Sword of Rusk>

”Begin!”

Lecan recited a spell quietly yet firmly as Haydent's voice resounded in the arena.

”<Tiri Warda Roa>.”

Solusgia closed in on Lecan at terrifying speed. Must be some sort of Graces.

Then he pushed his shield on Lecan instead of striking with his sword.

Lecan tried to lightly stop the shield with <Sword of Rusk>, but he got pushed back instead due to Solusgia's momentum.

He tried to push back against it, but he couldn't. Far from it even, he kept getting pushed back instead, Solusgia's shield was already nearing contact with Lecan's chest.

(Guess this is some sort of Grace Gear too.)

Solusgia's handsome face came near Lecan's and unsightly contorted before Lecan's eye.

”That woman is mine. <Storm Fang>.”

Countless spears of light jumped out of Solusgia's shield at once. <Necklace of Intuador>'s barrier won't manifest at this range. The spears tore through Lecan's body.

Solusgia's triumphant face vanished as quickly as it showed up. No attacks work on Lecan during <Invincible> state.

Lecan lightly kicked Solusgia's right leg with his right leg.

Solusgia's face met Lecan's left fist as he tumbled down.

Just as Solusgia was about to get blown backward, Lecan grabbed his right wrist with his own left hand. Then he gripped it hard, creating a bone breaking sound, Solusgia's sword dropped down.

Something weird took place. Solusgia's bent nose returned to normal. As Lecan could feel some kind of magic at work, he must have a Grace Gear to that effect.

However, it seemed the guy was still dizzy from the attack he received, he neither attempted to attack nor defend himself.

Lecan put away <Sword of Rusk> into his <Storage>, took off Solusgia's shield and threw it away before grabbing and bending the man's left wrist with his right hand. Solusgia' bone got crushed with an unpleasant sound.

Still gripping the left wrist, Lecan punched Solusgia's face with his left fist.

The guy almost got blown backward, but Lecan was gripping Solusgia's left wrist fast, not letting him to fall down.

His face recovered again.

Lecan struck Solusgia's nose with his left fist. Solusgia's face is red all over from the spilled blood.

Lecan kept hitting the face like a machine while the sound of smashing flesh resounded. The wounds eventually stopped getting healed, Lecan threw two additional punches for good measure before loosening his grip.

Solusgia tumbled down the ground, unmoving.

”Match over! It's Lecan-dono's victory!”

Haydent made the declaration.
