Chapter 21: Isa the Demon Swordsman
"This is what you call the newcomer who can defeat the Petrified Scorpion?"
Cyrus looked at Leah, who was about to be trapped, and said disdainfully.
"Wait, champion, this time Su is really on the plate. ”
Mallock smiled lightly.
On the other side, just as the fishing net was about to envelop Leah, the girl moved.
She grabbed the dagger in both hands and swung a blow from the bottom up!
Boom - !!
"What-!?"
The shockwave caused by the release of the magic power blew the nets and Sue out in one go. Sue rolled over in the air and landed on the ground not far away.
[Woo...... What kind of strange power is that?]
Su looked ahead of the girl, where, with just one swing, the sand on the ground was dug up, revealing a small pit.
"I see, with this kind of fighting spirit, the petrified scorpion is naturally not your opponent. ”
Su nodded, acknowledging the girl's strength.
"I'll take your compliment. So, do you want to continue?"
Leah stepped forward and picked up the trident that Sue had just used as a pedal, and asked.
"Then we don't need to ask, we haven't decided the winner yet. ”
Su laughed.
"As you wish!"
Before Leah could finish speaking, she threw the trident in her hand towards Su.
"Humph!"
Sue caught the weapon, but with a disgruntled expression - the previous blow had left her with no weapon, leaving only the fishing nets that she had not had time to completely disarm.
Obviously, if Leah didn't throw her weapon back, Sue would have an infinite disadvantage with only a fishing net left. That blow wasn't so much an attack. It's not so much a blow that deliberately returns the weapon.
However, she had no time to complain, and the maiden had already rushed in front of her. Sue had to go on the defensive.
[Opponents who are good at fighting spirit...... Is it ......]
Sue, who lives in the gladiatorial arena, has already seen countless enemies. There are no people like this who use vindictive energy to carry out explosive attacks. However, such a tactic seems to be unparalleled. However, the consumption is enormous.
"I'd like to see how long you can last. ”
So she went around and no longer launched a series of offensives, but carried out a guerrilla strategy.
[Is it a war of attrition...... I'm not afraid of that. 】
Leah noticed that the opponent's fighting style began to change, although she admired that the opponent could change tactics so easily, but unfortunately, for Leah, the so-called fighting spirit is magic, and the girl's magic power is not so easy to drain.
[It's better to say...... This is an opportunity!]
Counting the calculations, Leah has raised the operation of "Douqi" to the extreme.
"Drink-!!"
The powerful slash left a long trail on the ground. And for a time put Sue in a crisis.
Just dodge again...... Or twice, the victory is mine!]
However, with experience, Su always dodged the seemingly nowhere to escape the attack at the last moment. While dodging, her gaze was like that of a hunter, watching the girl's every move. She could see that the other party had begun to get tired, and his fighting spirit was gradually falling silent.
[One more time...... It should be fine, right?]
Leah's disguise was well done, fooling the eyes of everyone on the field. Although her "vindictiveness" is almost infinite, it can't be too exaggerated. A warrior with a near-infinite vindictive spirit became a slave. It's hardly convincing. Too low strength will lead to a crisis of existence, and too high strength will make these people suspicious. Little Lori carefully interprets the identity of a magic swordsman who is good at fighting and magic, but is not very proficient in swordsmanship.
"Drink-!!"
It was another blow that was enough to cut the earth, and the slash of the fighting spirit went straight to Sue's chest.
[Woo!!
However, Sue still stubbornly dodged. Even though the leather armor and linen clothes on her body were tattered in the storm caused by the slash, she still stubbornly persevered.
[It's now!]
Leah judged that the time was ripe, and she took a step back. Stepping into a sand pit that had been split out earlier, he lost his balance. Meanwhile. She manipulated the fighting energy on her body, causing it to flicker and flicker.
"I've won the victory!"
Sue didn't let go of the flaws in the moment. She turned the defense into the offensive and threw the fishing nets!
"Hmph!
However, Leah laughed, and the other party fell into her trap. The girl raised her short sword, and the magic crystal on the hilt of the sword burst into a dazzling light.
【Mage's Hand!】
In an instant, a wave of magic bloomed in front of Leah! In the air, an invisible hand pushed forward and pushed the thrown fishing net back!
"What!? No...... It couldn't be !!."
Sue didn't have time to react, her eyes widened as she watched as the fishing net she threw was blocked by a supernatural force and crashed into herself.
"Ahh!!h
As a result, the mage's hand struck the maiden strongly, and not only that, but also wrapped her own killer weapon, a fishing net, around her body.
"Woo......"
Sue struggled to get up, but couldn't move smoothly. The big net is specially made.,Even if you use fighting spirit.,If you don't have the same level as little Lori.,You won't be able to break free for a while.。
"General!"
And Leah wouldn't give her a chance, so the girl jumped up, rode on Sue's body, and pressed the short sword against the other's chest.
"The game is over, Isha wins!"
Mallock stepped forward and separated the two.
"I'm not convinced!Marlock, you actually gave her a magic weapon!?"
Sue broke free from the nets and glared angrily at the bald instructor.
"First of all, I told you a long time ago that there is no point in complaining about your opponent's weapons in the gladiatorial arena. ”
Mallock shook his head. Although most of the gladiatorial fights are fair, it is not excluded that some viewers like to watch bronze elementary school students in six gods beat up the strongest king in naked costumes.
"Secondly, the equipment this time is not unfair. The sword didn't work magic, it just acted as a staff. Sue, your opponent is a magic swordsman. ”
Finally, he pointed out that the girl's victory had nothing to do with equipment.
"Magic ...... Demon Swordsman!?Are you kidding!"
Su had a surprised expression.
However, Leah threw the dagger in her hand to the ground, and to prove Marlock's words, she cast the magic of the mage's hand without any equipment, and raised the dagger on the ground out of thin air and held it in her hand.
"Now, who has any doubts!?"
Marlock asked triumphantly. He became more and more optimistic about the girl named Isa. If nothing else, she could be a champion like Cyrus.
"Since I lost, I don't have any doubts at all. ”
Sue shook her head.
"Damn, that vindictiveness, and magic, the new little girl is a monster. ”
Cyrus grinned. In any case, he accepted the maiden.
As a result, little Lori officially became a gladiator of the Kay Bradford family. (To be continued.) )
