Chapter 16: 16

8-16 . The Day of the Final (2)

 

Good grief, what a farce .

Even if the king is attending, why do I absolutely have to do a mock battle with the prince?

Moreover, the prince is using the holy sword, Claiomh Solais . It's a sword that embodies the [Invincible] Shiga kingdom .

<TLN: Remember, the one who was supposed to do the mock battle with the prince is Ringrande . >

There's no way I can win .

The person who holds the holy sword Claiomh Solais must never lose . That is because doing so means suggesting that the invincible Shiga kingdom is defeated .

Losing is not permitted even if it's just a fantasy .

Although, even if I don't deliberately try to lose, the prince should be slightly stronger than me if we exclude magic .

I can't win unless I use my trump card . If I use it, I would undoubtedly kill the prince . As expected, that's bad .

Aah, this is depressing .

I can hear people from the audience seat cheering my name . There are also cheering for the prince, but isn't it because of the [Prince] title I wonder .

I'm wearing the magic armor Chaftar that I've got when I became the hero's follower, while shouldering the lightning great sword I've got from when I was a labyrinth explorer . The armor grants the same effect as physical reinforcement magic to the person who's wearing it . I can produce mana shield and magic for blocking sniping if I put mana into the magic circuit .

I enter the circle for the match .

Right when the match starts, I invoke the mana shield . Following that, I put mana into the lightning great sword, and activate the lightning edge .

I feel a bad premonition before I can add up physical reinforcement magic, I jump to the side .

A firebolt goes through where I was .

Firebolt Wand?

<TLN: I've just found out that the author uses "Wand" instead of "Cane" to translate ? , so I'm going to use that from now on . Might revisit older chapters to correct it but it'll be a PITA . . . >

That's not a military weapon .

It's not something that you should use without chanting you know?

"Nostalgic right? This is the thing you've made in the school after all . "

The prince attacks while drawing blue trails with the holy sword .

What speed .

The legend that states the holy sword (Claiom Solais) user flies in the sky might be true .

I ward the holy sword away with my great sword .

Heavy . My wrist is really hurt .

The lightning clad on the great sword transmitted to the holy sword, and got uneventfully scattered away in the air .

Even though he would have fainted or paralyzed if he had used a normal sword .

Returning the favor, I swing the great sword to the prince's legs .

He invokes the defense film (Barrier) of the holy knight armor and block the great sword .

As expected of the equipment of the kingdom's strongest, the holy knight .

This time I'll entrust my armor to block the prince's sword, and focus my attention to attacking .

Executing Heavy Blow skill . The aim and accuracy are lower, but right now, I need might .

Executing Magic Edge skill . I don't usually use it since it's a waste of mana, but there's no meaning in preserving mana right now .

The great sword is tinged with red light .

Executing Sharp Edge skill . I don't want to kill the prince, but if I don't fight with the intention to kill, I won't be able to penetrate that armor's defense .

"Furious Whirlwind Blade"

<TLN:Senpuretsuha>

I shout the technique's name even though there's is no need to do that .

Looks like I've been infected with Hayato's foolishness .

I was sure that it'd be blocked, but it easily breaks the armor's barrier .

This is bad, he'll surely die if I don't stop .

I managed to stop the blade before the prince received a fatal hit .

However, the prince doesn't miss my unstable posture .



I was splatted to the arena's ground like a ball .

Cheering, screams, and jeers .

It seems I've lost my consciousness for an instant .

The prince shoots pursuing firebolts rapidly . Are you trying to kill me?

It appears that his swelled pride is hurt because I stopped the sword earlier . The prince's eyes have scarily turned bloodshot .

I chant Quick Burst to destroy the firebolts .

However, our fight ends here .

Summoning circles are formed in the sky .

Thatisdangerous .

My intuition tells me the danger as if my head is split .

I begin to chant Break Magic magic . Not good, the prince hasn't realized the summoning circle in the sky . He only looks at me .

I stop the chanting in order to avoid the prince's attack .

I shouldn't have stopped the blade earlier if I knew that it'd turn out like this .

I wasn't able to stop the summoning .

A yellow-skinned demon appears from there . That presence and coercion, it's unmistakably an upper demon . The vibration from the massive body, taller than five meters, that lands on the ground almost makes me fall .

Hayato said this before .

He had only ran away from a demon once .

At that time, half of his companions sacrificed themselves in order to let him escape, he said so while looking so frustrated . I couldn't believe how that absurdly strong Hayato could lose, but I understand now .

That's an order of magnitude different .

Is a demon lord even stronger than that?



It's impossible .

Absolutely impossible .

My soul, not reasoning, is screaming . I want to immediately escape from here now .

The words that helps me keep my heart that was on the verge of breaking comes from an unexpected person .

"Demon, no demon lord, your fate is over now . "

Prince, how are you not able to measure the opponent's strength . He doesn't seem to be bluffing . If, at this time, I had any interest in a man who can bluff to a person with absolute strength, I might not had canceled the engagement .

The demon lord tilts its head to the side, and looks at the prince's sword interestedly .

"That sword is Claiom Solais right? A descendant of Yamato eh . "

I wonder what's the some kind of howl sound I hear when the yellow-skinned demon is talking . It's the other head of the demon that's chanting .

In order to interfere with the summoning, I throw Quick Burst to the yellow-skinned demon .

It's no good .

The demon casually defends against the weak elementary magic with its hand .

I need more more than speed!

I execute Chanting Shortening and chant Explosion . It probably won't make it . However, I won't let this spell go to waste .

When the yellow-skinned demon complete its chanting, monsters begins appearing from the magic circles that are formed on the ground . Centipedes, scorpions, praying mantis, and even two-horned beetles .

It won't be easy fighting them while dealing with the yellow-skinned demon . The magic Explosion just now didn't give it much damage too .

Oh right, there are the participants of the main match and their friends still . Let's leave the monsters to them .

I call out to the warriors on the place using amplification magic .

"Brave warriors, let's cooperate together to subjugate the monsters . Magician, prioritize supporting the warriors with reinforcement magic over attack magic . "

The people who have been fighting the monsters separately begin to cooperate together .

They're veterans . They probably won't lose to monsters as long as there are chances .



A centipede monster is attacking . The prince is also being attacked by a rhinoceros beetle monster .

"Fumu, the hero isn't here after all de~su . The souvenirs that I've brought have no meaning then . "

<TLN: The demon is saying desu in katakana, which means death . >

While grumbling, the yellow-skinned demon casts reinforcement magic to the summoned monsters .

I'd have been able to use powerful magic if only the prince could take care of the front .

"That's strange de~su . The blue and the red should have butted in with this much uproar . "

This centipede is strong . My sword can't cut it well . If only Hayato and those girls come at this time .

"Ahaha~ Onee-san, you're having a hard figh~t . "

"Don't look away, let's go help the prince . "

Leilas-dono of the Shiga Eight Sword, and the holy knight boy head toward the prince to assist him . The boy cuts one foot of the centipede as a parting gift .

I defeat the centipede with three consecutive explosions when its attention has turned away . The chanting was long, but since Explosion has Stun and Knockback effect, I was somehow able to do it .

Leilas-dono blocks the yellow-skinned demon's Inferno by using a great shield . He's amazing . He was probably using magic too, but I didn't think that there was anyone who could withstand that much attack beside Hayato .

"Hou? That's a nostalgic shield . How about this then?"

The demon throws white flame that easily pierced through the great shield of Leilas-dono in high speed .

I cannot let him die . The front will collapse if he dies .

I choose one option from among my selfish thought .

"O great Parion, please grant my selfish wish to summon the hero! I am the follower, follower of the hero Hayato, Ringrande . "

It is not a chant .

It's a prayer for the god Parion . I don't know how much of my life span decreases with this prayer, but I'll give 10, or 20 years of it than letting my hometown gets violated .

The talisman of divine gift on my chest is shining in respond to my prayer .

Now, come, Jules Verne .

Carrying the hero, to the battlefield!
