Chapter 389 – Kindred?

000

When the white sword is swung fast enough to leave a trail, the black sword blocks it.

As the reaction by the collision of magical powers occurs, light bursts out like an explosion.

This time, when the leadership of the workshop changes and the black sword extends in a straight line.

The flash of black light aimed for the girl’s head her, but the girl bent her head slightly, passing right next to her face her.

Right after that, thinking that the girl’s body is lowered, she stretches out her leg and tries to trip over the man’s left leg.

The man’s center of gravity momentarily shakes at the impact, but he stretches his right leg backwards and stands on the ground.

“Ohhh! I held on!”

The voices of the crowd coming from the side.

Right after that, thinking that a black light burst out of the man’s empty hand once more.

Aiming at the girl’s legs her, her lightning-like light her fell.

It was clear that the magic contained black magic, by looking at its color.

At the moment when the light spreads, the girl’s posture is a gaping posture that is not suitable for evasion.

Her daring attacks her sometimes became a double-edged sword against herself and strangled her own throat.

—Of course, if you can cover that with your skills, it won’t be a problem at all.

Paperweight! As the sound echoed, Cleon’s magic hit her leg.

The true identity of that magic is, of course, Mana Shock. Cleon’s number 18, which has the power to paralyze the ability to use magic.

Enveloping the body with magical powers is rather counterproductive.

Riding on the magic that wrapped around the body, the paralyzing effect would spread throughout the body.

Cleon immediately took a step in front of her and tried to cut off Lavita’s body her, which should have been paralyzed.

However-

Lavita’s legs her moved again as they were.

Touching the ground with her hands, bending and straightening, she moved both of her legs to aim for Cleon’s arms her, and her kicks her reached out over and over again.

Cleon quickly raises her arm to block it, but thanks to that, the action doesn’t follow until she swings her sword.

When some of the kicks are lodged in the abdomen of her, she is forced to step back and gain distance.

Lavita did not dare to follow such Cleon, and she smiled as she picked up her dropped sword her.

“How is that” Face. Hmm… Just before I hit her body her, I spread her magic barrier and blocked it. Can I say?”

“Even so, it’s strange to be able to move.”

“Because the magical barrier was developed in a form that is not attached to the body. A barrier that is so thin that it is invisible, thinner than paper.”

Cleon narrows her eyes.

I thought about it a while ago, but this woman named Lavita, as the leader of the Battle Maid, is quite capable.

Her swordsmanship her was impeccable even compared to Cleon, who had learned the swordsmanship of the Sword Master, and her movements her were light, and what stood out in particular.

Her “Precise mana control” That transcends her body, and her “Recognition ability” That she sees through a second in units of tens.

“In such a short moment, the magic barrier is dropped on the body. … Such a forcibly deployed barrier will collapse in less than a second.”

“Yes. So, it’s meaningless unless it’s unfolded at the ‘right moment’.”

Even Galatea sticks out her tongue at her ability her.

[What is that girl? You have very good eyes. Perhaps, the ability to control magical powers and the ability to perceive are also coming from there.]

“…Eyes, huh?”

When Cleon looked into her eyes her, there were still only red, garnet-like eyes that glittered.

“Are you going to continue?”

“Sure, let’s keep going until one side says surrender.”

“…I’d like to quit.”

When Cleon said that, Lavita smiled at her and spoke.

“Then you just have to exert your strength.”

“…”

Was it a provocation, or did he really want to see Cleon’s strength her?

At Lavita’s words, Galatea releases her magical power that was quietly suppressed.

With Cleon at the center, the piled-up mana has a visibly thick concentration.

It swirls and swirls, creating a black mist.

Seeing this, the maids hardened their faces a little, and when they each tried to raise their weapons-

Lavita raises her hand to stop her own minions.

And, as she lifted her head and looked at Cleon-

‘It’s been fun!’ Is to make a face that reveals with all your might.

“I told you to turn on the power. I’m sorry, but I’m not turning on the power. You’re not my enemy.”

“Then we can’t end this sparring forever-“

The next moment, thinking that Cleon’s body had disappeared, Lavita’s eyes “Sparkled” And shone.

Immediately, Lavita’s body moved her, and she blocked Cleon’s charge her with the holy sword in her hand.

When Lavita thought that Cleon attacked her from the front, she was more obedient than she thought.

Instinctively, her eyes she moved toward the place where her mana was gathering.

Cleon once again gathered her mana her into one empty hand.

Not the same black magic as before, but red magic.

‘Fire Magic’

When Lavita finished her judgment in an instant, raising the corner of her mouth her, she slid her her own sacred sword Amour on her Galatea and swung her sword aiming at Cleon’s side her.

“Captain!? You’re not avoiding it!”

When someone’s voice bursts out like that, the next moment-

“Flame Burst!”

No matter where you move, as long as you are within range, magic attacks the target with a powerful explosion.

Except for the high consumption of mana and the fact that there were many gaps right before use. Although the condition is attached.

It is a magic that has been used by Cleon and Lyla many times and helped them in many scenes.

When Cleon’s hand is the center, strong flames explode in all directions.

Lavita’s gaze her, which moved her body her to hit his side her, followed the spread of the explosion with her eyes her.

A flame that quickly attacks to devour itself.

If it was a person capable of controlling magical power, in order to defend against magic, from the moment the magic was activated, she would have tried to protect herself by covering her whole body with magical power.

However, Lavita was different.

The barrier covering the whole body naturally increased the consumption of mana and slowed down the movement.

This is because the barrier must be thick enough to block magic.

But- just like before, I spread a barrier that didn’t come into contact with my body in the air.

If you change the trajectory right before it touches you – it is possible to spill the magic in a way closer to evasion than defense.

This is why Lavita is stronger against demons who use magic rather than physical abilities like Yinma.

She herself calls this ability “Just Guard”, But she is a little dissatisfied with the fact that no one calls it that.

In any case, Lavita’s eyes her, as Cleon expected, recognized even the blinking of her eyes her for less than a second, and moved her body her.

Her head her was spinning rapidly, creating an optimal defense route.

‘Limited defense formula. Frame calculation. 3… 2… 1…’

In a time shorter than the blink of her eyes her, when her fingers her flicked and moved.

At a distance from her body her, a magic barrier spreads over her body her.

Quaang! There was a loud explosion, but Lavita’s body was safe thanks to her magic that instantly distorted the trajectory of the magic barrier.

And, the magic barrier that has fulfilled its role disappears due to its unreasonable construction.

‘But with this, the magic is extinguished-‘

The sword that was cutting Cleon was swung without stopping.

If you try to slash Cleon with the flames that obstruct your vision-

“…Wow!?”

As Lavita opened her eyes wide, she could see that Cleon, who was supposed to be behind the flames, was gone.

When he immediately followed the crowd and looked up, there was Cleon, hanging upside down from the chandelier hanging from the ceiling of the gymnasium, aiming a black bow at Lavita.

In her eyes her, there was an imprint that emitted an unusual glow, and when she was aware that she was being seen through that imprint, she felt as if she had become a hunter herself.

“Kuk!”

The next moment, Cleon’s hand her let go of the string and several black arrows rained down on Lavita.

Her eyes her follow the trail of all her arrows her, telling her in turn where she should move next.

However, it was also poison on the contrary.

When there is so much attack information rushing through her head at once, there is a slight gap in her movements that slows her down.

‘Closing your eyes can block out information, but… Making such a big gap against that man is-‘

In the end, she gave up chasing Cleon, who had risen in the air, standing on the spot, and the moment she tried to step back to escape the storm of arrows.

[You can clearly see what he’s thinking with his expression his! Cleon!]

“Okay!”

Thinking that Galatea’s voice has been heard by Cleon, Cleon’s body falls from the chandelier, grabs Galatea, and falls from the sky.

And, considering her great swing of her sword her to slash her using the force of her gravity-

“Amour!”

Lavita shouted the name of her her holy sword.

Then, her sword body, which had been small until now, suddenly became gigantic and blocked Cleon’s sword of hers.

Cleon thought for a moment that it was an insubstantial sword made of magical power, but to his surprise her, he could see that the physical part of her holy sword her was really gigantic.

“Haha!”

In the sudden change, while Cleon showed her a gap, as she pushed her sword away while tightening her arm, Cleon had no choice but to be pushed back by the momentum.

Once again, the distance between the two widens.

Cleon caught her breath and looked at the gigantic holy sword she was holding in her hand.

“Suddenly, the sword is getting bigger… What kind of magic is it?”

“It’s not magic, it’s the power of the holy sword. My holy sword, ‘Amur’, has the ability to increase the size of the sword and the amount of magical power the greater the feelings for the opponent.”

“…Emotion?”

When Cleon said that, Lavita nodded her head, and she smiled meaningfully.

“Yes. For example… ‘Love’. The name Amur is also said to mean ‘love’.”

“Under?”

Rubera’s voice cuts in from the side, but Lavita doesn’t care and continues her story.

“Of course, not just love. Hate, anger, sadness…”

“I don’t think any of that applies to me.”

When Cleon answered so nonchalantly, Lavita shook her head and spoke.

“Yes, I have great feelings for you. A ‘curiosity’ to know about you.”

“…It’s a nuisance.”

Luvera nodded at Cleon’s cold reply, but Lavita grabbed her huge sword with both hands the next moment.

From there, Cleon realizes that the swordsmanship she has been using against him so far is not her original one of hers.

Because-

“…That posture.”

“The strongest hero I admired, I saw him when I was young. … That attitude was engraved in his head and he never left.”

Cleon talks while watching Lavita, who caught Lesia’s swordsmanship stance her in front of her.

“…How old are you?”

“Ahaha. A woman’s age is a sacred secret.”

At Lavita’s terrifying reply, Cleon let out a sigh and, like her, grabbed Galatea with both of her hands.

Then, naturally, the posture is like that of Lavita-

No, in a much more elaborate part than Lavita’s, an attitude similar to Lecia’s came out.

When Lavita saw Cleon’s attitude, she looked a bit surprised.

“…The line at this time is ‘surprisingly the same attitude.’ Are you?”
“I’m not surprised at all. There are many other people than you and me who have a crush on her, so… But, compared to the others, that’s a considerable level.”

At Cleon’s words her, she talks with a smile on her face.

“Yes. Because my father was a big fan of her. He trained me as a child to reproduce her swordsmanship her as much as possible.”

“Is it…”

After Cleon’s answer, Cleon lowered his stance a bit.

Lavita understood that it was a posture to gain momentum to jump forward.

‘Are you rushing from the front again?’

Lavita, anticipating Cleon’s trajectory of her, believed her own eyes of her without her hasty movement of her, just before he reached her own body of hers.

She read his swordsmanship her and prepared to strike back.

And-

Bang! With a whooshing sound, the ground files at about the same speed. Cleon burrowed into her like a lightning bolt.

A sword, an oblique cut that cuts from top to bottom.

When Lavita moves her sword to counter Cleon’s swordsmanship with her own swordsmanship—

The next moment, Cleon disappeared right in front of her eyes.

“──?”

A question mark instantly hung in Lavita’s head.

If Cleon had moved, her own eyes her would have followed the path, and her body her would have moved at the same time.

However, only her sharp intuition her noticed where Cleon’s body her had gone.

At that moment, the match had already been decided.

[Cleon is in front of Lavita]

The idea that.

[Cleon is behind Lavita]

Distorted into reality.

‘Ah, like Rubera-‘

Lavita must have never expected Cleon to be able to use even that power.

And, when the back of the sword, not the blade, rested on her own shoulder her.

Lavita released the Holy Sword Amour from her hand and raised her hands above her head.

“It’s a defeat.”

“…Is it.”

Lavita, meekly admitting her own defeat, turned around and looked at Cleon as soon as Galatea was off her shoulder.

Lavita, who put her hands behind her waist with a smile on her face, was she really the same person as the girl who had pushed herself a moment ago?

When Cleon extends her hand to shake her hand, Lavita maintains an innocent and innocent attitude-

Lavita holds Cleon’s hand her with both her hands as she talks.

“As expected! As I heard, you’re a huge Lesia fanatic!”

“…Ha…?”

As if she couldn’t hide the joy of meeting a comrade.

“I, too, have developed a personal interest in you. The interest never ceases. Notwithstanding its strength her—more than anything else, she has been with Lecia. How envious of this!”

Cleon looks at Lavita, then turns her head towards Rubera.

As Ruba looked at Cleon with her cold eyes, she left him alone.

“Tell me about Lesia-sama!”

Then, she took turns watching Lavita hanging on to her.

She sighed as she heard Galatea complain.

[Are all the guys involved with the holy sword the only weird ones?]
