◆ Liliera ◆

We're going to the finals.

……

When Princess Ryu decides in this battle, the audience is also watching with solitary spit.

"Final game at last..."

"Oh, now it's really decided that Princess Ryu is Princess Ryu."

In a quiet venue, the audience was able to hear such a twinkle.

"... I mean, I'm not Princess Ryu"

But the trouble is, ever since I defeated the dragons all over the city, the world has completely mistaken me for Princess Dragon.

Hmm, I wonder how you really solved the misunderstanding.

"Mr. Liliera."

And that's where Lune talks to me in a small voice.

"What?"

"I want to prove it. He said he deserved to be Princess Ryu's successor. So I will do everything I can to challenge you... and Liliera, fight for it."

Lune's eyes are serious.

……

Shit, I'm really here.

Honestly, you better lose this fight.

Or if you want to clear up Princess Ryu's suspicions, it's no exaggeration to say you should lose.

But... there's also a problem with losing the trouble on purpose.

I'm an adventurer. Reputation is very important to an adventurer who lives on his own.

Even if it was deliberate, that fact will remain once we lose.

And I'm seen as inferior to that opponent.

Because the people I was watching don't know I lost on purpose.

If you haven't seen them, you'll be damned. I don't know what kind of irresponsible rumors you'll be spreading.

So even if you don't want to be mistaken for Princess Ryu, you can't lose cheaply.

If you fight like mud on an A-rank adventurer's sign, that's a credit issue.

But that kind of credit issue is also important...

Sometimes I don't want to get out of hand any more than that.

Whatever I am to this child...

"Both Forward"

After hearing the referee's voice, I stop thinking extra.

Yeah, time to think is over for a long time.

There is only one thing to do.

I step forward and put up a spear.

"... Huh!

When she saw it, she also stepped forward and put up a spear.

Yeah, I don't need any extra conversation before I fight.

Because the spear is our word.

"Princess Ryu's Rite, Finals! Liliera vs. Lune, matches......"

The referee raises his hand with the flag directly above him.

"Begin!!"

"" Ha!! "

The moment the flag is lowered, me and Lune jump forward.

I've activated physical enhancement magic before, and I'm faster forward.

I'll stick the spear first.

But Lune came about my speed in a motion without precipitation.

"Huh!?"

The spear hit at the same time.

I was perfectly aligned when I said I moved first.

That means Lune's spear judgment is higher.

The tips of each other's spears are bumped and bounced.

We pull each other's spears back.

I don't make extra moves. Just poke straight and put it back and poke again.

""...... Huh!! "

Fast, fast, fast, I poke a spear.

Incorporate into some of the motion to pull back the impact that is hit and bounced.

The impact scatters a spark.

A new spark is created before the sparkling spark disappears, creating a bouquet of light in the narrow space where the spear hits.

"Shh, wow..."

"Beautiful..."

We couldn't afford to understand what it was all about, although we heard a small blur coming from the audience.

"" Ha!! "

When we realized it was not obvious, we bounced back a lot at the end of the next poke.

"... Phew."

"Ha-ha-ha..."

Spear poking at each other was over and the venue was surrounded by silence.

"Ugh..."

"" "" Whoa! Awesome! "" "

As the weir is cut, the audience speaks up simultaneously.

"What's the battle now!? Spears poke so fast!?"

"You can't, I've seen the guard train, but no one could poke that fast!?"

"What about adventurers?!? You can't be a highly-ranked adventurer!?"

"B...... no, how about A-rank?

"No, no, you can't even A-rank it?

"Is it possible that I am the legendary Dragon Emperor Liquid Emptiness...?

"Seriously. When you learn Dragon Emperor Stream, will you be able to fight like that? Shall I join the Dragon Emperor Liu?

"No, you can't."

The end of the poking around finally gave me room to understand the words around me.

"But yes, the Dragon Emperor Liu is amazing."

Yeah, I do learn dragon emperor flow emptiness from Mr. Rex.

In addition, I learned flying magic, physical enhancement magic, and even more elementary but also attack magic from him.

To be clear, he is about as strong as I was before I met Mr. Rex.

"But she was apprenticed to Mr. Rex later than I was."

I'm more advantageous in simple training hours than later apprenticeships than I am.

That's what I thought.

Besides, I'm a former B-rank adventurer, and now an A-rank.

I have the pride of being above even with simple practical experience.

But me and Lune were antagonizing each other in the spear judgment.

In my overwhelming favor, she is crossing without any physical enhancement magic.

The reason for this is one.

"Unlike me, that girl has been working out dragon emperor emperor emperor kung fu for a long time."

Lune's learned Dragon Emperor Liu Kangju says much of the technology has been lost for a long time due to past tragedies.

But still, the basic training has been done properly, and she has learned many moves, albeit incomplete.

In contrast, I have only been studying dragon emperor emperor emptiness for a few months.

Different stacks.

I am only advantageous because there are many techniques that Mr. Rex has taught me.

But her technique as a pure spear is definitely better than hers.

And by meeting Mr. Rex, she was given the opportunity to learn the depths of Dragon Emperor Liu's Emperor Sky Art, which should have been lost.

Now she's in the midst of growing up with tremendous momentum, complemented by what she's never had enough of.

"So this battle, it's never my overwhelming advantage..."

No, really.

"I can't believe I've fallen in love so far, I didn't even realize it."

I was under the illusion that I had become very strong after being taught by an outrageous man named Mr. Rex, wandering through various training grounds, defeating the dragon on my own.

That's enough to beat an S-rank adventurer.

This is the arrow tip.

I know exactly how much I was in love with him.

"There's someone stronger than me in the world, just like Mr. Rex said."

Mr. Rex was right enough to be.

That cliché wasn't unnaturally low on self esteem or unknown to the public, it was always an admonition to be humble because you don't know when or where to encounter the mighty who were buried.

"It's amazing, Princess Ryu... no, Mr. Liliera."

Without even knowing how I feel, Lune turns his sparkling, respectful eyes to this one.

Ning Lo, I want to say that line.

Because I'm sure I wouldn't have beaten you if I had been you back in the day.

"Come on, I'm serious from here!

"Ha!"

When I activate Ice Attribute Enhancement, I freeze the floor of the match stage.

"Huh!? This is..."

And it creates an ice dagger on the back of his leg and slides out.

"Wow!?"

In contrast, Lune must be new to fighting on frozen ground.

Obviously I'm confused by the feeling of slippery feet.

In that gap I accelerate around the perimeter of the Lune, getting enough speed and at the same time approaching it with a smaller circle.

"I'm coming!

Before Lune gets used to the battle on the frozen ground, we'll put up a battle at once!

"Ha!!"

The moment you get in between the spears, tap the spear rampage from all directions as you swirl around the Lune.

"Kyaaaah!?"

Lune desperately tries to repel my attack, but stomping on the frozen ground, let alone pointing her body in my direction, is dangerous.

Even the advantageous spear sword is unstable at the foot. Then you can't let that power be fully exerted.

... Really, Mr. Rex taught me egg hands, didn't he?

What do I say when I use it?

"Kuh!

Take my spear and Lune breaks the balance.

A scratch then enters her armor by a slapped spear.

Compared to the demons we've defeated so far, it's not very handy.

... That's just what Mr. Rex took care of, sturdy armor.

But we haven't lost any of the gear or tools that Mr. Rex worked out for us!

"Ha ha!!"

Attribute enhancements are applied to the spear, and the surface of the spear is covered in ice filled with magic.

The ice created by magic is not easy to crush, unlike the original ice.

The stronger and sharper the ice is the more magical I can get in.

Ice not only covers weapons, but even armor, changing the shape of my armor.

"Riu, Princess Ryu's armor..."

"Beautiful, it's like jewelry armor..."

The spectators who saw the blue ice in their magic glorify my armor as a gem.

But, look, this jewel isn't just a beautiful jewel.

"Huh!

A blow to my spear blows the right shoulder of Lune's armor.

"Ugh!

Lune, who couldn't bear the shock, slips into the ice and falls.

"It's over!

I can poke my spear at the fallen Lune without alarm.

"Ma, not yet!

But Lune dodges the attack as he rolls to the side.

And he tries desperately to get up as he glides with the tulu.

"I won't let you!

I add a small series of strikes to Lune to keep him out of his way.

"Hawawa!?"

The armor crushes as Lune is pushed backwards and backwards as she desperately tries to at least not take a direct hit, but is unable to stomp the scaffold.

"This ooh!

"Wow!?"

Lune has thrown away his defenses and fought back, but even if he manages to hit the attack without his hips, he can't reach the armor body just by hitting the ice covering the armor.

"That's cheating!

It's not cheating, it's my magic, so it's not cheating!

The magic Mr. Rex taught me, but it's not cheating!

'Cause I remembered while I was dying, too!

"Then give me a less protective place!

"You're not going to hit me that easy!

I strike unilaterally while dodging Lune's attack.

"Hiuuuu!?"

If you keep pushing like this, sooner or later Lune will be pushed into the end of the stage and off the spot.

Lune is a spear man, not a wizard, and the only thing Mr. Rex promised me to teach him is Dragon Emperor Liu Kangju.

So I don't have the means to strike back dramatically from this situation.

It's no exaggeration to say that this is already packed.

... but I won't be alarmed.

'Cause this kid is even Mr. Rex's apprentice.

I wouldn't be more cautious in case this kid knows about his outrage and the spear of the Dragon Emperor Stream he's been working out!

"As for Mr. Rex's apprentice, I'm older! That's why I don't aim off-site! I'll make up my mind here!

"Ugh, I'll take it and stand!

With that said, Lune pushes the spear to the ground and is forced to stand up.

"Kuh!

Naturally in the meantime there were gaps, armor that was defenselessly attacked by me was crushed, pierced and blown away.

Just to get up. That's too much sacrifice.

But still, I guess you thought it was better than staying out of posture and being shredded down without even doing it.

As a successor to the Dragon Emperor Liu Empty Sky Art.

"But the disadvantage of the scaffolding hasn't changed!

"No, we just found measures!

"What the hell!?"

What can you say you can do in this situation?

No, even if I can do something, I'm not gonna let that happen to you.

"I won't let you!

I poke Lune from all directions while maintaining rotation at high speeds.

It is impossible for her to protect herself from this attack after losing much of her armor.

I won't waver. I'll make sure it's in plain sight!

"Oh my God!

What Lune did the next moment was totally unexpected behavior.

"What!?"

How dare Lune leap straight up when he supports the stone poke of a spear that pierced the floor.

"Ha!?"

What are you gonna do if you jump up there? You can't use flying magic unlike us!?

"Huh!"

Leaping Lune slammed the spear streak straight into the ground as he pulled through the spear with his hand that was touching the stone poke.

"Ah!

"Hey, what!?"

I forget to attack Lune, who floats in the universe and becomes defenseless, and I am unwittingly confused.

And Lune, who can no longer float in the universe, soon descends to the ground.

In a firmly extended spine position.

"... If the ground is frozen, all you have to do is crush the frozen ground and dig out the non-slippery ground from under it!

"... ah"

Right, you know what?

My magic froze the surface of the ground.

The ground didn't turn to ice.

So you thought crushing the ice would bring you back to the original ground!

"I knew you were strong..."

Yeah, to be honest, I'm surprised.

Because in this cornered situation, this kid tried to accomplish the countermeasures brilliantly.

I'm not insulted by this calmness and imagination.

The obvious answer is something you can't think of as much as when you panic.

"It's an honor to compliment Princess Ryu. But even I've endured Master Rex's hell of a special training!

I laugh bitterly at Lune's proud expression.

"Well, you put up with that guy's special training. Well, most pinches aren't as big a deal as I am."

"Yes!

Yes, this kid was skipped by the dragon many times in Mr. Rex's special training.

Well, that's a lot of nerve, isn't it?

"But you forgot? I'm not Princess Ryu."

"Oh, yes, I was. Princess Ryu..."

"Yeah, Princess Ryu..."

……

We will remain silent.

Because the words ahead should be spoken after the game.

"But I'm not gonna let you talk about it easily."

"Yeah, I don't think I can talk without knocking you down either"

We put spears on each other.

"I'm coming!

"Go ahead!"

I jump in towards Lune.

"I won't let you in!

Leaving him in time, Lune pokes a spear in a row.

With spears as weapons together, we make the same mistake.

Even just the same type of weapon changes the time between individuals due to their physique and usage, as well as differences in center of gravity due to differences in the shape of the weapon.

Lune will do everything she can to help me avoid depriving me of that subtle difference.

But I also stepped in without fear of her spear.

The spear technique is better in Lune.

I'm better at overall strength, including other than spears.

However, Lune's gear is a real dragon knight spear passed down from antiquity.

Besides, with Mr. Rex working out, the blade cuts even magic.

That's why I'm not the amateur wizard who decides to compete in a magic attack.

So jump in.

"Not yet, I can't give way to juniors! Ice Arrow!"

Just before we get into each other's midst, I release as much ice arrow magic as I can.

"What!

Lune, whose scaffolding has been secured, easily crushes the arrow of ice.

But I don't mind! I jumped in at full speed and stuck out the spear.

"Don't hit it, hiccup!?"

Lune, who immediately tried to intercept my spear, suddenly breaks the balance.

Take your feet off the frozen ground again.

"Become!? Why!?"

"I magically froze it. Of course you can freeze it again."

"Oh yeah!!"

Yes, the ice arrow is to focus her consciousness outside the ground.

While she was intercepting a cold arrow of ice, she had the ground covered with ice again.

Roll up the unbalanced Lune spear and bounce it high in heaven.

The spear staged the game stage universe as it spinned with the circle, piercing the ground off the spot.

I stick my spear out in front of Lune, who has fallen to the ground, and I tell him.

"I win."

"... yes, that's my loss"

When Lune admits defeat, the referee raises the flag heavily.

"Winner Liliera!

Huh, that was pretty dangerous.

There's something hidden from the world's unexpected powerful.

One more step is missing, but when one more step is taken care of, it grows all at once.

I wonder if I will continue to meet people just before such masters.

And Lex, who meets these people, is going to get more masters in the world by acting crazy as usual...

Yeah, it's really going to increase and scare me.

Anyway, that's the end of the long tournament.

I feel like I forgot something...

"" "Whoa! Princess Ryu!

Suddenly, there's a loud noise coming out of the perimeter.

And I remembered.

Tell me what you were worried about until just now.

"Wow! Princess Ryu, that's amazing! That's so awesome!

"I accidentally got into it! It's not just Princess Ryu, the other kid is a mess!

"That's the strength of the legendary Dragon Knight! Nice!"

"Princess Ryu ah!

The surrounding area is a grand dragon princess call......

Shit! In the end, instead of solving this problem, it became more important -!

I was obsessed with the battle and I totally forgot about it around there. Huh!

"Princess Ryu has finally returned to our country... we will live long."

"Yep, yep... the divine appearance of Princess Ryu, who was battled with sparkle, thanks and flair"

Ahhh, what kind of grandparents are crying and praying hand in hand!?

"So I'm not a dragon princess. Oh!

"" "Whoa! Princess Ryu waved at us. Whoa!

Unfortunately, my heartfelt cry was echoed by the cheers of the excited and misguided audience...... Gusung
