Honestly, I thought I won.
Because the operation fitted so tightly as never before.
In fact, it was going well.
Phoenix's sword was supposed to burn Astoria down.
Shortly before that, Astoria's body twitched.
Two.
There are probably two reasons why she could have moved out of this situation.
One is that this is no longer predictable, but she was resistant to magic.
Like the Holy Knight and the Clean White Knight, she has magic immunity, so it's no wonder she has that aptitude.No, [Hero] is pretty much equipped, but she's especially good at it.
It is possible that they possess such magic equipment, but this is the reason for their unusually fast return.
Even though I devoted a lot of magic to offsetting my own "invisible pressure", I didn't expect to get out so quickly.
And that's why I adapted to Phoenix's Holy Sword.
This is simpler and amazing.
Reflection (,,),.
The moment you lose consciousness and return, there is a sword somehow in front of you that tries to slay you.
In such a situation, she stood her sword before surprise.
But my "blank" is by no means meaningless.
She managed to pinch her body and Phoenix's Holy Sword in between.
Yes, it wasn't even an intercept or a defense, it was just a body reacting and holding a sword.
So Phoenix's Holy Sword pushes her, and her Holy Sword sinks on her right shoulder.
"You said you received the black magic of lemme....."
"... it feels like time flies."
From there, she reduced the gravity on herself and went further up.
"Something to escape."
Of course I do.
My body keeps falling.
That's not all.
The tower she created was also gravitational manipulated in the "blank" earlier - it was falling.
"Ah, Mr. Bella, now, do you still have the magic of freezing?
"To trick your enemies, you'll say you're on your side first.The interaction earlier was to deceive me about my role. "
…………
"I'm kidding."
"Ahahah, you're kidding.All right, let's go.Fran, catch Reme. "
"Nh"
The three of you will be fine.I'm going to take care of Mr. Fran.
Phoenix sprays a flame and chases Astoria, but he's in a bad position.
No, it's right to aim for the shortest distance.I don't want to give her time in this situation.
That's why she ran up.
I lured the flaming bird to the evil path of the sky.
I would float higher than Phoenix and feel free to bathe Phoenix with the "invisible pressure", and still intercept it with my remaining right arm and the Holy Sword.
"Crash, Flame Warrior."
"If you want to do that, you have to hold the wings with your own hands."
"If there's no other way, let's do it."
She must be applying a gravitational boost to her sword.
What happens when the swords collide with each other?
The heat of Phoenix's Holy Sword is already being lost.
It will be critical for the attack and approaching of her.
It is not a matter of Phoenix's magic performance.He's good there, too.
But there was too much magic to offset.He and Raise fought Astoria the longest, no wonder.
Astralia shook the sword.
Phoenix thinks too much of her.
And it happened.
――――
An arrow is stuck in the right hand of the [Balance of Justice] (...,...,...).
"How about this, Reme?"
It's Lily.
Lark, Lily, Joss, and Melania certainly joined us.
After that, Lark shields Lily from Astralia's sight.
Using the moment the earth and smoke struck, Lily hides behind Melania.
For Astralia, Lily's latest position remains behind Lark.
Measuring the timing, Melania, whose physical abilities had been strengthened by Jos's white magic, threw Lily into the sky.
Next, shoot an arrow at Astoria, who puts "invisible pressure" on Phoenix.
Lily and I met each other.
"It's great."
She chuckled.
"Oh, great work, Lily."
Phoenix murmured too.
The sword spills out of Astralia's hand and passes directly by Phoenix.
Phoenix flies directly above Astralia, reverses his position as far back as possible, and then swings down the sword.
You're the one who crashed.
"... I see."
Like a burning sword squeezing its last power, it burst into flames for a moment.
――――
Astralia fell rapidly from the sky to the ground.
She crashes into the ground, and the earth soars up.
And as you remember my tympanic membrane, the reality shakes.
"Come, come, it's decided...!!!The Knight Commander [Balance of Justice], who came together and showed remarkable strength, has now dropped Astralia into the ground...!!!
..................Yes, I forgot to breathe...!And...! The match is over!It's time!
Who could have predicted such a battle!Ten people survived!... hmm?
"Eh... ten people...?Really?
Leice-kun and Bella picked up a tower that turned into a huge chunk of dirt, not a holy sword, with a huge chunk of ice.
I'll have Mr. Fran catch me. [M]
Melania is moving to catch Lily as she falls.
Looking at it, Jos shouted to calm down, and Lark sighed with laughter.
Phoenix will come down on his own.
- Aren't they nine?
I ask Mr Fran to drop me off as soon as I land and run there. [M]
Astralia's fallen earth smoke to an unusual extent... no, to a place where sand smoke (,,) dances.
Phoenix and Les came when they noticed.
And we stare.
Each armor was burned to the chest, the left arm broke, lacerated on the right shoulder, and an arrow wound on the right hand.
And yet, she stood [balance of justice] Astoria.
She is standing on the sand.It was supposed to be a hard ground of dirt.
Yes, in order to relieve the impact of the fall, I used earth magic to change the state of the ground in that situation.
Besides, she was still conscious.
"... it looks like I lost."
She speaks with a sweeping voice.
None of us will admit it.
"That's not true.I told you I was stronger, but I'm not ashamed enough to say I won like this. "
"... Excellent work, Lord Astoria.You embodied yourself as a knight.Never fall, as a righteous man. "
Ah, Astralia, I'm not leaving!
Huh!?
"I had to win... people like this..."
"Astra, look around."
I say to her standing like a ghost. [M]
She blurred her gaze.
"Please clarify your ears"
"Uh-oh!? Holy shit, you're immortal!"" It's not human business to be able to endure the end of the match against all the Phoenix and Raise parties....!- You're a knight, Captain!The one who lives in the city you protect is safe!Proceed to the battle!Watch your battle again!
…… .................. "
Astralia distorts her expression.
"No one's worried."
"Everyone... is laughing.Looks excited and fun.I see, this is the work of the Adventurers (you guys)... it's a complete defeat after all. "
But she keeps talking.
"If we have a chance to exchange swords again, we will win next."
We laugh at the same time.
"That's my line.This time we win perfectly. "
"We didn't expose all the cards, including yours.Next time, we'll have a different fight. "
Yes, it is.
Neither Phoenix nor Les nor Bella borrowed the magic of the Spirit this time.
Two of the four spiritual contractors passed the qualifiers without using some spiritual art, including deep.
And so is Mr. Astoria.
The three adventurers looked ahead to the fight and refrained from using it in the qualifiers.
I'm sure Astralia has her own circumstances.
"I want to fight Astralia and the others again."
At that time, a voice shouted Astra's name from the audience seat.
She has a troubled face.
"Shake your hand."
"But...."
"I'm sure you'll be delighted."
"... so..."
A cheer exploded as she pushed her right hand slightly out of the way.
"I'm sorry... you're hurt."
"... fu. No, it's fine.You're right, I think you're happy. "
That said, Mr. Astrair also looked like he was smiling.
◇
The final ranking in this qualifying round was first place for the lace party, second place for the Phoenix party and third place for the Astoria party.
Regarding the number of points, it is impossible to determine whether the overall result is high or low to not be announced.
If it exceeds a thousand, 100 people will be defeated, so if you think of 500 people for each qualifying round, it seems to be correct...
Well, let's wait for the totals.
Well, after the qualifiers.
Having restored the spirit to the body of all living beings, we rejoiced at the result of first place, but after all, we exchanged opinions about whether we wanted to beat Astralia completely or fight with the Phoenix Party. But since the first place is first place, we talked about whether we should launch it with pleasure.
So, when I left the venue.
"Reme, will you give me a moment?"
[Balance of Justice] Astoria.
"Hey, Reme. I'd like to ask you something, but could you lend me some Tsura?"
[Dragon King] Volak is also here.
"... I'm sorry, but I'll let you do it later."
"Ah? I've been waiting for you."
... no, why is this happening?
