Chapter 251: Riezel vs Lizbeth

Yuri and Marilyn's conversation was something Riezel didn't hear.

At this moment, he was being oppressed by some unknown force, like an invisible mountain weighing down on him, making his whole body feel heavy.

However, one thing was sure—this force started acting on him when Lizbeth drew her sword.

'What is this?'

As Riezel felt the force, he was surprised at first, but quickly realized what it was.

'Could it be... spiritual power?'

Indeed, the force pressing down on him was the spiritual power coming from Lizbeth.

Riezel remembered that the royal family of Jinas had its own Special Swordsmanship. He had read about it in a swordsmanship book from Yuri's library when he first started learning this world's swordsmanship.

According to the book, the royal family's swordsmanship was a Special Swordsmanship that could cultivate spiritual power. Once mastered, even without using their sword, one could unleash spiritual power to intimidate their opponents or even knock them out.

Ordinary opponents facing royal family members would often be suppressed by this invisible spiritual power before even touching them. Even if they didn't lose consciousness on the spot, their strength would be reduced to a tenth, barely able to perform.

It was the Special Swordsmanship passed down from generation to generation in the royal family, known as the War King Sword Style.

Clearly, Lizbeth had used the special ability of this Special Swordsmanship on Riezel.

"..."

At this moment, the invisible spiritual power surged like a tide, weighing down on Riezel and making him feel increasingly heavy.

If he hadn't been immune to mental interference, he might have suffered a mental shock, his senses thrown into disorder, as he could feel that this spiritual power could even strike a person's subconscious, making them see illusions.

Riezel silently endured this spiritual power, gripping his sword tighter.

At the same time, Lizbeth finally moved.

*Whoosh!*

With a faint sound of air splitting, Lizbeth, without any warning, lightly tapped her toes on the ground, her whole body shooting toward Riezel like an arrow launched from a bow.

*BOOM!*

At the same moment, a terrifying spiritual power erupted from Lizbeth, shaking the atmosphere and causing the pressure on Riezel to increase more than tenfold.

"HAHHH—!"

Lizbeth let out a loud shout, flashing in front of Riezel as the heavy golden sword in her hand swung down at a speed invisible to the naked eye, creating a powerful sonic boom.

Riezel's eyes reflected a clear light as he saw through the incoming strike and prepared to dodge. Unfortunately, the heaviness of his body surpassed his expectations, making his movements sluggish.

*Swish!*

Riezel's eyes narrowed, and without thinking, he raised his still-sheathed sword to block in front of him.

*DING!*

A loud clash echoed, and a wave of force exploded on the spot.

As Lizbeth's heavy slash landed on Riezel's hastily raised, still-sheathed sword, producing a sound like a bell ringing, it sent him flying along with the burst of force.

Riezel's feet skidded backward with a series of thudding sounds, leaving small craters on the ground.

"Good grief..."

Riezel looked at Lizbeth, his gaze on her changed.

Truthfully, he hadn't expected this princess's strength to be so great that she could send him flying with just one strike.

"HAAAHHH!"

Shouting again, Lizbeth seemed like a completely different person now.

She was no longer as tense or flustered as before, her voice turned aggressive, and after shouting loudly, she charged forward like a gust of wind, closing in on Riezel once again.

*Swish!* *Swish!* *Swish!*

Lizbeth slashed out one golden sword light after another, each one slicing through the air as they flew toward Riezel.

*BOOM!* *BOOM!* *BOOM!* *BOOM!*

With that, the rumbling sounds rang out again, becoming almost incessant.

Riezel and Lizbeth stood facing each other, endlessly slashing at one another, turning their swords into lightning bolts and sword lights that constantly clashed between them.

Each collision triggered a rumbling sound and stirred up a fierce wind.

Each slash tore through the atmosphere, ripping through space, becoming faster, stronger, and more powerful.

Eventually, the extreme collisions and intense exchanges caused the lightning bolts and golden sword lights to dance violently, tearing the ground apart and leaving deep, shocking grooves.

Such commotion naturally drew the attention of the knights and guards within the entire Frenzel residence, alarming them into rushing over.

""My Lady!""

Ain and Ian immediately led a group of fully armed knights toward the scene.

"Don't come any closer!"

After Yuri retreated to a distance under Marilyn's protection, avoiding the most intense area of the battle, she shouted at Ain, Ian, and the others, preventing them from approaching.

Seeing that Yuri was unharmed, Ain and Ian were relieved before turning their gazes to the battle between Riezel and Lizbeth, where lightning bolts and golden sword lights clashed and raged, their expressions filled with disbelief and shock.

Needless to say, the intensity of the battle had surpassed what these people could handle, even leaving Ain and Ian, both Sword Masters, feeling shaken.

*BOOOOM—!*

Suddenly, a deafening explosion rang out, causing all the lightning bolts and golden sword lights to vanish simultaneously.

Riezel and Lizbeth were thrown apart, one stepping back two to three steps, while the other was forced back a much longer distance.

Until this point, Riezel still hadn't unsheathed his sword and remained completely unharmed, not even a drop of sweat on him.

"Thunder Breathing - Fifth Form - Heat Lightning."

Riezel slashed directly at the retreating Lizbeth with his still-sheathed sword, sending out a lightning-shaped slash infused with intense heat.

"?!"

Lizbeth, unlike Riezel, wasn't so composed.

Fortunately, even though she was panting heavily and seemingly out of energy, she still managed to react just in time upon seeing the lightning-shaped slash coming at her.

*BOOM!*

Lizbeth swung her golden sword with all her might, making it flash as she deflected the incoming lightning-shaped slash.

"Thunder Breathing - Second Form - Rice Spirit."

At the same moment, Riezel closed the distance, moving like lightning and appearing right in front of Lizbeth.

*Swish!* *Swish!* *Swish!* *Swish!* *Swish!*

Just as Lizbeth deflected his lightning-shaped slash, Riezel quickly unleashed five continuous slashes shaped like lightning toward her, each one striking her body like a real lightning bolt.

"AHHHH—!"

As Lizbeth let out a pained scream and was sent flying, in that instant—

*BOOM!*

A lightning bolt erupted, accompanied by the sudden roar of thunder, transforming Riezel into a streak of lightning as he darted toward the airborne Lizbeth.

"Thunder Breathing - First Form - Thunderclap and Flash."

As Riezel's voice echoed, he finally unsheathed his sword.

All Lizbeth could see as she flew through the air was a flash of lightning right before her eyes.

*DING!*

In the next second, with a loud metallic sound, her sword flew from her hand.
