Chapter 40: The Battle Trial

Inside the castle is a very empty hall, without any furniture, only the carpet at the feet.

Yu, who was walking in front, stopped, and then snapped his fingers with his right hand. The entire hall suddenly became gorgeous, and countless pieces of furniture appeared out of thin air, filling the empty hall.

Then she was stunned for a moment.

"Oh, mistaken! It should be this ......"

With another snap of the fingers, the whole hall became no longer like a hall, but more like a practice room.

The walls of the entire space are as smooth as mirrors and glow with silver light. Directly in front of them were four humanoids with a metallic sheen, standing straight. These humanoids are two meters tall, which is a stark contrast to Sakuramu, which is only about 1.4 meters tall.

"This is...... Machine? ”

Sakura had a hint of doubt on her face, and Yu shook her head and explained.

"Then there shouldn't be such a thing in your world, it's a puppet. They're meant to train your fighting skills, don't underestimate them, they're ...... In your world, they have A-level strength, so be careful not to get hurt by them! ”

"Our world? Also...... Are you really from another world? Let's just say, why does this world have existences that can create other worlds out of thin air? ”

"It's a bit of an afterthought! Well, you can't be blamed for that, after all...... That guy sealed you up. It seems like a leak, but it's okay, these things are not something you need to care about. It should be said - not what you need to care about right now, it's too far away for you...... Okay, let's not talk about these useful and useless, and you'll use these four puppets to train your combat skills later. ”

"Understood, then...... What should I do? ”

Sakura's eyes flickered, and she stopped thinking about it, and then turned her head to look at the four puppets, her eyes a little wary.

Because her intuition told her that the puppets in front of her were not just A-class. She subconsciously put her left hand on her left eye, and then she froze.

Because her pupil of fate failed, it was very abrupt and unguarded, so it directly failed.

She blinked, then looked at Yu. Don't think about it, she must have done it.

"In this world, I have completely erased the rule of fate, so there is no need to try to open your pupil of fate, it will not work. And once you use the Pupil of Fate, won't you know exactly how those puppets will attack next? This way, it will be very easy for you to deal with it, and it will not have the effect of training your combat skills at all. ”

In the face of Yu's answer, Sakuramu nodded thoughtfully.

"So...... If you erase the rule of fate, shouldn't my body not exist? ”

"It's not the same, your current body is not made up of the rules of fate, but the rules of fate are attached to your body. Only by completely transforming your body into that system will your body be made up of the rules of fate. As for now, it's still early! ”

"And that magic gem, I used a space to isolate it, even in your body, there is this layer of distorted space on its surface. In other words, the space where this magic gem is located is not the same space as the space you are in, and the rules of fate that exist in that space. That explains your problem, right? ”

"Well, I see...... So, let's get started! I wanted to try out how much potential I really had! ”

With that, Sakura rushed out, but she didn't take a few steps before she stopped.

"Forgot, give me a weapon, without a weapon, I'm not used to ......"

"What weapons do you need?"

"Give me a ......"

Before Sakura could finish speaking, a pink thin sword appeared in front of her eyes. Sakura looked at her suspiciously, but she couldn't see through the expression under the mask because her face was covered with a mask. So she grabbed the sword in her hand and didn't say anything more.

With another snap of his fingers, a puppet on the left moved. The puppet emitted a faint white glow, and there were three places that emitted red light, and it struck towards Sakura.

"The strength of these puppets is the same size as yours, as long as you hit the three gems of the head, chest and back of these puppets with the rapier in your hand, you will pass the first level. Conversely, if the puppet knocks you to the ground for more than a minute, you're considered a failure, and you'll be punished for that failure. ”

The sound of heavy metal crashing sounded, accompanied by the cacophony of metal grinding. Sakurami struggled to lift the thin sword in her hand upwards as she made a difficult sound.

"Why...... There will also be penalties! ”

"Isn't it natural to fail and be punished?"

Yu's voice was still indifferent, but this time it was rare to say it seriously.

Sakuramu: "......"

The sword in Sakura's hand collided with the puppet's arm, and with each impact, Sakurami took a step back, obviously at a disadvantage.

She couldn't figure out why the same amount of force could be so different from what could happen when they collided together. She could only resist with difficulty, and she couldn't find any possibility of fighting back.

While attacking, the opponent defended himself perfectly. It's a seamless defense, because she can't find any flaws, so she can only blindly resist.

If she continues to defend like this, she will definitely lose, after all, even if she limits her strength to the same level, she is still a creature, and the other party is a puppet. If she continues like this, although she can barely defend to a certain extent now, as time goes by, she will eventually run out of strength.

But what about the other side? On the other side is a puppet, a dead thing with endless physical strength. Even if this puppet needs to consume energy, but with Yu watching from the sidelines, this puppet is equivalent to endless energy.

So the breaking point must be found.

Sakuramu struck the puppet's arm away with her sword again, and her eyes lit up.

After several passive defenses, she gradually discovered some patterns of this puppet's attack. For example, when the puppet's arm is flipped off, the armpit is unguarded. And the puppet's armpit is also one of its joints.

After thinking about this, the sword in Sakuramu's hand jumped up and spun in an eerie arc in the air while repelling the puppet's arm, and then stabbed straight into the puppet's armpit.

But at the same time, the puppet swung its other hand down at a strange speed, allowing Sakuramu to block it with her rapillod.

(Too late, if I attack its armpit with its rapier, it will react instantly, and then block my attack with its right hand.) )

Sakuramu took a step back again, and then felt a little cool behind her. You don't have to look back at her to know that she has been forced back into a corner.

Sakura couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then seemed to think of something, and the corners of her mouth hooked up a hint of arc.

(Why not take advantage of my own height?) Who says being short necessarily hurts?! )

A guy has a deep grudge against his height throughout, but he can't find a place to vent his own.

Of the people she had met so far, there were many taller than her, but none of them seemed to be shorter than her...... Oh no! There is still one, and that is - Sakura Dream when she was five years old! Die! That's also whether she's good or not!

Now that she suddenly remembered this stubble, and then looked at the puppet that was a full sixty centimeters taller than herself, she suddenly felt as if a thread had broken in her head. She grinded her teeth, then blocked the golem's arm with her rapier before striking back.

Then he jumped up and stabbed the sword into the puppet's armpit in a strange arc, and as expected, the puppet's other hand swung towards Sakuramu. But now Sakura's thread with the so-called sanity has collapsed, so ......

Sakura turned slightly sideways, recentivizing her body in the air in an almost impossible position, grazing her arm and rushing straight towards the puppet. The thin sword in his hand gently slashed upward, and the sharp blade directly sliced the puppet's arm from the joint, and then the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground was heard.

Well, the sound of two heavy objects falling to the ground.

One is rightfully the puppet's hand, while the other ......

For some unknown reason, the string in Sakura's mind called sanity has broken, and then desperately rushes towards the puppet, and successfully chops off one of the puppet's arms.

But she didn't think about what would happen if she charged straight forward......

As a result, Sakura was knocked away by the puppet's body, and then fell headfirst to the ground, falling into a brief dizziness.

And it was this brief dizziness that the puppet seized the opportunity very well, and then snatched the thin sword from Sakuramu's hand with the only remaining hand and threw it aside. Then press this hand firmly on Sakura's head, making it unable to move.

Sakura was waving on all fours, but she couldn't see clearly, and she suddenly felt like she couldn't do it all over. That's it...... A minute passed.

Yu blinked under the mask, then sighed faintly.

"I said you're a mage, why are you fighting in close combat with others? I didn't even say you couldn't use spells, and you just asked me for a sword. And then went to melee...... I'm suddenly curious about your brain circuits. ”

Sakuramu: "......"

She felt the need to break the string once......

"I can't help it! Obviously, a battle as simple as I thought would be over soon. But I didn't expect you to ask me for a sword, and I can't refuse you...... Tsk, melee mages are a rare variety. All right! Since you didn't pass the first level, then you go to punishment! Rest assured, my punishment is not so perverted. ”

Yu's face under the mask was a little crying and laughing, but Sakuramu outside the mask only saw an indifferent person, and then subconsciously shivered.
