Chapter 66

Episode 66. Revealed

Was Adrias’s appearance too impressive?

Not only the audience, but even the host could not open their mouths.

Then, when someone in the VIP seat cleared his throat, the host came to his senses and opened his mouth.

“Yes, I have confirmed my participation. So from now on, the first match of the round of 32! The showdown between Diene Alven and Adrias Cromwell begins!”

When the proper start was finally announced, cheers erupted from the people.

Those who were worried that they would not be able to see Diene Alven’s splendid magic baptism were very happy to see Adrias appear.

Among them, no one predicted Adrias’ victory.

I just hoped that it would last as long as possible and provide something to see.

Diene, who came out to the middle of the arena, looked at Adrias and asked.

“What are you doing here to look like that?”

“I had some business.”

Adrias spoke calmly and drew a sword from his waist.

Diane, who was watching this, shook her head and said.

“I’ll give you some time. It’s not in my temper to attack an unprepared opponent.”

“Are you scared?”

“what?”

“I am always ready. Come in and don’t talk.”

Adrias’s provocative words lit Diene’s twin wicks.

How could you accept something like that when you said you were considerate?

“okay. If you don’t need... ... .”

Mana gathered around Diene.

Her talent for mana surpassed that of a culprit, and her magic preparation process itself was unusual.

“I will not decline.”

A huge ball of fire floated up as if to obscure the sun.

The problem is that there are not one or two such fireballs, but five.

From the referee of the game to the various professors who played the role of mediators, they could not hide their tension at that tremendous sight.

“Me too this time.”

On the contrary, Adrias, who stood with a relaxed attitude, lowered his posture as if he was about to jump out with his sword hanging down to the ground.

“I will do my best without reservation.”

phut!

At Adrias, who sprang out at an unexpected speed, Diene unknowingly threw an unprepared magic.

Fire.

Fireballs of tremendous temperature poured down like flames from hell.

Adrias evaded the 4th fireball with physical ability and swung his sword towards the last 5th fireball.

Fuhua – evil!

A sword wind came out of the black mana-encased sword and split the fireball.

Adrias was smiling with his eyes wide open through the torn fireballs.

It looked like a monster enjoying a fight.

‘why... ... !’

Diene tried to stay calm in the face of an incomprehensible phenomenon.

I put off how Adrias handles the knight’s mana and whether he really is Adrias, and prepared the next magic.

Adrias once again approached Diene with explosive speed.

However, Diene’s next magic was not offensive magic.

Whiing.

Adrias, who wielded the sword, smiled once more as he looked at the empty space.

He hadn’t expected to be able to use space magic.

In an instant, Diene, who opened the distance with space magic, raised her tension to the highest level and erased her carelessness.

The current Adrias had to be assumed to be a knight.

However, if you look at the physical condition of the opponent, it will not be in 100% condition.

enough to win

‘Lightning magic.’

I prepared the magic for the great knight.

If it is destroyed in a wide range, no one will be able to avoid or destroy it.

supportive!

Adrias, who saw lightning mana dancing in Diene’s eyes, ran towards her without hesitation.

But Diene’s magic was one step faster.

The black wind that Adrias shot mixed with the black wind shattered the ground of the arena and shook the ground where Diene was standing.

Diene, who was trying to avoid it through space movement, lost control and collapsed on the collapsing ground.

‘ah... ... !’

Concentration broke and the double casting ended.

In the first place, she didn’t have much mana left.

Diene felt defeat.

I have already participated in tournaments since my sophomore year and suffered many defeats, but I thought it was different this time.

In particular, the skill he showed in this fight was at a level that he could win even if the winner came from last year.

‘But he still loses.’

It was indescribable, but on the other hand, I was satisfied enough with the skills I had acquired through this fight.

he got stronger

Although we lost this time, next time... ... .

“Game over!”

Diene woke up from her thoughts at the sudden voice of the referee and looked around.

what? Did I just end up doing nothing?

However, the voice of the moderator, heard again, puzzled her.

“victor! Chung Corner! Diene Alven!”

Only then did she find Adrias standing with his sword in the ground, bleeding all over his body.

Those wounds had already been there since he arrived here, and it seemed that the wounds that had healed under the influence of her magic were shocked.

“I can’t admit it.”

Diene muttered to herself involuntarily.

this is not my win

If he had been intact, the person who had fallen by now would have been none other than himself.

“I can’t admit it!”

As she screamed and tried to approach the referee, someone suddenly blocked her path.

Diene looked at the person who appeared in front of her in an instant with trembling eyes.

“Oh father... ... .”

“Good job. And it was a great fight.”

“This is not something I won. I was trying to win this way... ... .”

“Diene.”

Diene’s words were cut off by Bahat’s low but powerful voice.

“There are no ifs in battle. Adrias’ lack of physical control is also a form of skill. The result is something he has to deal with, not you.”

“It doesn’t make sense to end the game this way. look look! Why stop the game and decide the winner when Adrias is standing still and not giving up!”

At her words, Bahat carefully stroked her daughter’s hair.

Then, holding her hand, they walked together to Adrias, who was being looked at by the referee.

“Dene. That kind of you is really worth emulating. Being righteous is a really hard advantage to have.”

Adrias, who came closer to check, was smiling.

He smiled broadly at what was so satisfying, and he passed out while standing.

It was amazing that a person could pass out while standing, but the look on his face made me hate fighting him again.

Adrias was enjoying such a fight even though it was a fight that he was so angry and spent his energy on.

‘if... ... transformation?’

It was Diene who thought the wrong way regardless of winning or losing.

* * *

Kwagwaggagaggagag-!

Watching the sword wind mixed with sword energy shatter the floor of the arena, Bahat stood up without realizing it.

However, the people sitting around them were all watching the game with their hands sweaty, so they didn’t notice it.

Fortunately, the sword wind only shattered the floor and did not harm Diene.

‘no. I deliberately adjusted my strength.’

Bahat, who was still standing, recognized it with the magic used in both eyes.

That arrogant old Adrias was deliberately slowing down for fear of hurting Diene.

Even so, I couldn’t help but be surprised.

The floor of the Great Stadium was not an ordinary floor.

As it was the place where the tournament took place, it was difficult to make a single scratch on the floor by drawing the magic circle designed by Bahat himself, as well as the material.

Now, Adrias had broken that floor in a relaxed state.

And this fact is probably known to all who sit in the VIP seats here.

‘Did you decide not to hide it... ... . The wind will blow soon.’

It seemed like it was not just a simple wind, but a precursor to a typhoon.
