Episode 13: Simulated Combat

Tank Arena of the Lemurian Empire.

It's usually a noisy place with horse hissing, wheels scraping the ground, audience rage and cheer...

It was quiet today.

That too should be because the Emperor of the Lemurian Empire, Erkühl, rented it out.

No, the expression "rented out" is a little strange.

In the first place, the chariot competition held in the Lemurian Empire is one of the so-called 'bread and circuses', an entertainment given to citizens by the Emperor.

So there is no problem with stopping it or using it temporarily only by the Emperor.

Regardless, if it is a continuous day, there will be dissatisfaction.

There were usually seven figures in the tank arena where tens of thousands of people were accommodated.

Elkhur I, the young hero of our Lemurian empire.

Lemurian Empire, Secretary General and Army General Galphis Galeanos, Heavy Duty Cavalry "Cribanarius".

Lemurian Empire, Admiral of the Navy, Christoph Augusto.

Lemurian Empire, Lukanos Lucarios, Archbishop of Nova Lemuria.

And Todoris Todrianus, who presides over all the diplomacy of the Lemurian Empire.

These four people sit in the audience...

"I knew you were fierce. I'm glad we made it."

Girl with bright red hair like flames, eyes as beautiful as ruby.

Carolina Galeanos.

"It would be nice to meet your expectations"

And beautiful hair like gold, a girl with jade eyes.

Sheherazard Akaimenez.

The two of them face each other on the arena.

"Hey! Do it to the extent you don't break it! It's expensive to repair!!

"" YES!!

When Elquille rang from the top, the two responded with their hands up in good spirits.

Elquille nodded contentedly, setting her bow against the sky and releasing.

Hirururururururu ~

Making such a dumb noise, the arrow sounds...

That was the signal of the battle.

"It's a must for the first time"

It was Carolina who made the first move.

Magic overflows from Carolina.

Carolina's unique magic, Divine Speed II, was activated.

For a moment, Carolina sinks her body...

Kick the ground.

Carolina disappears for a moment.

And...

"Ahhh!!!

'Erigos', Carolina's love sword and covenant spirit, approaches Shehrazard.

In contrast, Shehrazard...

"It's early, but you can't miss it."

Bounced back.

And wave the sword with tremendous speed, slapping the sword on Carolina's belly...

Carolina pulls herself away and leaves before she does.

Between them is about five meters away.

"The magic of the acceleration system...... is it like me"

"Yeah, I also have the inherent magic of 'Divine Speed'.... Well, unlike you, I lose speed... but I don't eat attacks that easily."

And Shehrazard lays down his sword.

A beautiful long sword, shining in silver.

"That's a very good sword not to be broken by the blow of my 'Erigos'"

The Great Spirit of Sword and Love, "Erigos"

Carolina covenants, corner of the seventy-two pillars of the Spirit, fifteenth in sequence, the rank is Duke.

The ability to transform can mutate into any weapon...

mass changes dependent on the subject, and tough hardness.

Shehrazard's sword prevented such a blow of 'Erigos'...

It is definitely the highest level in the world.

And...

"You're a lot more powerful at that. You don't have the power to take my 'Erigos' directly from the front and bounce back, do you?

Erigos can vary its mass, its weight, depending on the subject.

For Carolina, Erigos is lighter than bird feathers...

The opponent who receives the sword can be heavier than the anchor of the ship.

"Is it intrinsic magic?

"Golden Rigidity II."

"Golden Rigidity".

Within the inherent magic of the physical enhancement system, magic is high enough to line up with 'Divine Speed'.

"Well, in return, I'll be next."

Saying so, Shehrazard sinks his body...

Thin to Carolina at once.

Both wizards of 'Divine Speed'.

But...

Carolina is faster.

Carolina takes Sheherazard's sword at her leisure......

be blown away.

Carolina rises with her sword pierced to the ground as she rolls through the gobble and the ground.

Carolina slowly pulled her sword out of the ground.

The sword...... 'Erigos' was broken in two.

"... such an idiot"

Carolina confirms the sword of Shehrazard.

Shehrazard's sword doesn't have a scratch on it.

... This is impossible.

The hardness of 'Erigos' is higher than any steel in the world.

If 'Erigos' is to be broken in two, the sword of Shehrazard must also be broken in two.

For some reason...

Sheherazard approaches before Carolina thinks.

Carolina rushes to send magic to 'Erigos', restoring herself and shooting it across the street.

Metal and metal bump into each other again and again...

And then one of them finally breaks and the blade dances through the universe.

It was Carolina's sword that broke.

"That's it."

"That's not true."

Immediately Carolina leaves the scene.

Carolina is faster.

Running away is easy.

"Did you just run away?

"It's out-of-heart that you think you'll get caught up in such an easy provocation.... I understand Karakuri in my current meeting." Berito, "right?

"Exactly."

The Great Spirit of Falsehood and Alchemy, 'Berito'

Its ability is alchemy… i.e. the smelting of gold.

Most importantly, when the smelting is temporary and the magic is solved, the gold returns to just giving me dirt...

Still temporarily turns into gold.

Gold is a very soft metal.

Gold used in ornaments is also mostly alloys mixed with silver, copper, etc.

Every time Shehrazard slashed Carolina's "Erigos," he smelled it into gold.

No matter how 'Erigos' is a powerful weapon spirit, it becomes brittle if an impurity called gold is mixed.

"But... this is not a reasoning novel. No matter how much you understand the species, you can't escape my 'Verito'."

"Do you really think so?

Carolina laughed uncomfortably.

And... send magic into 'Erigos'.

The figure of 'Erigos' degenerates.

"Is it a bow..."

"Yeah, that's also the best 'bow' in the world"

Carolina mutates' Erigos' into a bow figure.

Erigos is the Spirit of the Sword...

If it's a weapon, it can be turned into anything.

And...

Carolina releases an arrow toward Sheherazard as she takes her distance.

The arrows are not dimensionally insane and head to Sheherazard...

He turned into a spear in front of Shehrazard.

Shehrazard panics and slaps the spear down with his sword.

"... an arrow of the same weight as an anchor. Turn it into a spear the moment you hit it to extend your reach. It's troublesome."

"You're the only one who feels the same as an anchor. It's as light as a feather for me."

Carolina and Shehrazard began.

Carolina releasing an arrow as she flees, Sheherazard following it.

Transfer to a wear and tear battle that rubs each other's health down.

And...

"It's not clear... it's good."

Shehrazard stood up and chanted out loud.

"'Come, victory!!!

The ambience changes.

In an unusual atmosphere, Carolina connects a new arrow…

Suddenly, a gust of wind blows and an arrow blows up.

"This is..."

"My... No, it's the lineage magic of the 'Akaimenes family'. … uncontracted junior, intermediate spirits around here are on my side"

I see.

Carolina was convinced.

I mean, all this surrounding wind, on Shehrazard's side.

No matter how many arrows you release, the wind interrupts you.

And, if it is, there is only melee.

Carolina smiled.

Lifting Erigos high, Carolina chants.

"'My sword is for the Emperor!!!

Carolina's magic temporarily climaxes.

Carolina instilled magic in 'Divine Speed', accelerating at once.

The slaughter of Carolina's divine speed.

Shehrazard takes it, plays it, and crushes it.

But Carolina instantly repairs it with heightened magic and is slashed again.

Occasionally, Shehrazard tries to move the wind and the earth to unbalance the carolina...

Still, Carolina waves her sword.

One-on-one defense.

And...

"What... No more..."

"This place is out of magic..."

The two fell at the same time.

And...

"Lucanos, treat him"

"Yes, yes...... at all, that was a dangerous game about when you would get hurt badly. Don't make me do it again."

"I know... I didn't know we were both this strong"

Elquille shrugged her shoulders.

"Higu... my back hurts..."

"My stomach..."

Three days later...

Sheherazard and Carolina were groaning with muscle aches.

My whole body muscles were screaming.

If Lucanos cares about it, it's also possible to cure muscle pain...

too much punishment for each other,

Sometimes, the two muscle aches were left intact.

"Hmmm...... but I won a little later"

"That's my line. If the battle lasts even ten seconds, I'm the one who won."

"No, because it's me. We could have won in five seconds."

Carolina and Shehrazard argue violently.

After all, there's no winning or losing.

"You guys are getting along a lot."

"Well, no more"

"Hey."

Carolina and Shehrazard laughed face-to-face as Erkür spoke.

"Well, we're good friends... don't fight anymore?

"Eh!"

"I haven't settled yet..."

"If I die, I'll be in trouble"

Both Shehrazard and Carolina are many unsavory people as the Lemurian Empire if they die.

When Carolina and Shehrazard are complaining about Erkür...

"Your Majesty!! It's an emergency alert!!!

Todoris Todrianus came running rocking his popped stomach.

There is sweat on my forehead.

"What's up?

Todoris replied to Erkühl's question.

"The Royal Fars Army is on its way to Shria, a genus state!!
