Chapter 12: Chaos Shelter
The two men fought with each other, and the broadsword and spear weaved a poignant and tragic battle song in the center of the square.
During this period, although Leah did not know much about swordsmanship, she could also feel that Alec's side was gradually beginning to gain the upper hand. He used his dexterity to trick Tredy with the shield in his hand, and with the help of the steel hammer of the hilt and the long blade of the sword, he took turns attacking from far and near.
This flexible tactics gradually made Drydi start to get agitated, and whenever the opponent showed a flaw because of this impatience, Alec would lose no time in making up for the onslaught.
Unfortunately, Tredy is also a battle-hardened warrior, and in the face of every attack of the opponent, he will always try to neutralize its damage as much as possible, so that Alec is unable to deliver a decisive blow.
But it doesn't matter, even if it's a small injury, it can still be accumulated to make a difference, not to mention that Leah knows that even now, Alec still hasn't used all his strength, he is still testing the enemy, and once the true strength of the other party is determined, he will use a thunderous blow to completely defeat it.
"Miss Leah......"
Sure enough, after a few more rounds, Alec swept the long sword and forced the opponent back, and then turned his back to the little Lori and asked in a pleading tone.
"Well, don't keep your hands, Alec, let him learn the power of Randall Knight. ”
Lori nodded and acquiesced to Alec's actions.
"In that case......
The knight smiled and confidently raised his broadsword.
"Hmph...... If you have any other tricks, just use them!"
Facing Alec, who was confident. Tredy looked undaunted.
"Really, then I'll be on it!"
The knight stomped on the ground and rushed towards the enemy like a meteor.
Drydy raised his shield and tried to fend off as usual. Then wait for the opportunity to counterattack. However, when he noticed the milky white fighting aura flashing on Alec's broadsword, it was too late.
Boom!
With a soft sound, the huge round shield was completely unable to resist the slash with the added fighting energy, and even the spear in his hand was split in half.
Drydy reacted at the pinch-critical moment and quickly retreated, but the armor on his chest was still cut open by Alec. A long wound was made on his chest, and for a while the blood flowed profusely.
"Immediately apologize to the Randall Kingdom and Miss Leah. Or else - die!"
The enemy in front of him has lost his resistance, and Alec did not pursue after this, but gave the other party an option to apologize, which can be regarded as benevolent.
[Well...... Although I said not to take prisoners. But now that the winner has been decided. If they were willing to apologize, I wouldn't be unforgivable. 】
Leah looked at the two people on the field and nodded silently.
"Hmph, it's a pity, the battle isn't over yet, come on! Come on, let me kill you!"
Unfortunately, it backfired, and the other party struggled to stand up and drew the short sword at his waist.
[Is it still shallow?......
Alec rushed forward. Prepare to deliver a fatal blow to the opponent.
"O great Daughter of Chaos-!! give me the power to guard-!!"
However, the other party ignored Alec, who was getting closer and closer, and shouted loudly in the sky!
【Daughter of Chaos!?】
Leah's heart pounded.
[Hey, this ...... The words of the wall. It's a part of Leah's 'seat', and only the Daughter of Chaos can enter it......]
She vaguely remembered that when she asked the goddess why the assassin could pass through the wall made of spatial elements, she mentioned the words "Daughter of Chaos".
Suddenly, Leah seemed to have grasped some terrible clue.
But now, she had no time to think, only to see that accompanied by Tereddy's shout, a chaotic energy that could not be described in words enveloped his whole body and even his weapons.
At the same time, Alec's broadsword had also been slashed, but unfortunately, the steel longsword did not even make a sound, as if it had been cut into the hot molten iron, and completely melted.
It is the power of chaos, the chaotic colors, the chaotic shapes, the chaotic rules, the non-observance of any order, the complete distortion of a tangible thing, so that it cannot maintain its original form.
"Die!!"
Facing Alec in shock, the opponent swung his sword with his backhand, intending to put the knight to death. Alec hurriedly crossed the half-cut broadsword defense left, but unfortunately, the broken sword in his hand was cut in two like cutting tofu under the action of this chaotic energy.
"Alec!! step back !!"
Leah waved her wand in shock, and an azure barrier appeared between the enemy and the knight, which was the new spatial magic that Lori had created during this time--dimensional barrier.
The dimensional barrier is the defensive magic that Leah has always wanted to add to the textbooks, but for this kind of magic, a certain Lori has not taken the usual path, continuing the eggshell-like structure of other factions.
It is a level 3 magic, similar to the spatial magic wall that Leah saw in the dungeon, with only a thin defensive range.
On the other hand, concentrating the same number of elements scattered into an eggshell shape on a single side also greatly increases the durability of the barrier, and more importantly, because it avoids the eggshell structure, it does not conflict with other magic shields.
Leah's plan is to rely only on the arcane barrier to defend in normal battles, and when encountering high-intensity attacks, a spatial barrier will be instantaneous, so as to achieve the role of double insurance.
Only this time, this azure crystal wall has not had time to protect Leah, but it has already been used on Alec's body first.
But even so, Leah's heart was still in turmoil, because she wasn't sure if her magic could withstand the strange power of chaos.
"Huh!? is this...... Space magic!?"
To her surprise, the effect of the dimensional barrier was obvious, the short sword in Drydy's hand was completely blocked by the azure wall, and the power of chaos seemed to be unable to quickly erode the spatial element, and Alec took the opportunity to jump out of the opponent's attack range.
Leah noticed one thing vigilantly—that is, when these people in front of them saw the spatial element, for a moment, the expression of fear flashed on their faces.
But in any case, little Lori can't avoid the fact that she helped Alec in the duel, so they lost the duel.
"Miss Leah, it looks like the winner of this game has been decided. ”
Kashadra said with a smile in her strange voice distorted by magic.
"Well...... I don't deny that. Although I have heard for a long time that you are from a religious organization, it is really strange to believe in the Daughter of Chaos, shouldn't you...... What kind of cult is it?"
Leah shrugged, she wasn't going to play tricks on this kind of win or loss. But on the other hand, a certain Lori stabbed the other party unforgivingly, and by the way, I wanted to try to see if I could find out anything related to the "Daughter of Chaos". (To be continued......)
