"You little dwarf really won't shed tears until you see the coffin. Okay, if you want to challenge anyone, just say so. You can choose our Loki Familia's first-level Adventurer, but don't blame me if Sakura is injured."
Hestia was waiting for the words Loki. Seeing that her goal was achieved, she immediately patted Sakura.
"Go ahead, Sakura, Loki, these guys have already spoken. Just say whoever you want to discuss with."
Finn, who had been standing aside for a long time without speaking, also nodded at this moment.
"Since the Lord Loki has said so, for the lv5 cadres who are still in Familia, as long as Miss Sakura speaks, I can directly call them."
"In other words, even if you want to challenge the three of us at level 6, you can do it. We just have time now."
"No need for this, just level 5 will be fine."
After all, the reason given by Hestia is just to guard against other Familia, so to experience the strength of the first level Adventurer in advance, lv5 is the most suitable choice.
The entire Orario at level 6 only has Loki Familia and Freya Familia. Theoretically, there is no need to challenge it at all.
"Well, I heard that before sister Seele and I, Orario's fastest upgrade record was held by Loki Familia's sister Ais. If this is the case, can I challenge sister Ais?"
"Want to challenge Ais? Yes, Ais happens to be at Familia right now."
As he spoke, Finn turned to look at Gareth and Riveria beside him.
"Gareth, Riveria, please take you two to the training ground first. I'll find someone to tell Ais to come over."
Just like that, half an hour later, Loki Familia training ground.
Loki, Finn, Ais who was notified to come to the training ground, Lefiya who was following Ais, plus Tione, Tiona, werewolf Bete and several other Loki Familia cadres who received the news came here one after another.
Although there seemed to be a lot of people, the huge training ground was still very empty. After all, Finn had cleared away the idle people near the training ground in advance. Except for Lefiya, the only people who could come to the scene were all senior executives of Loki Familia.
"A lv2 actually named him to challenge Ais. He really doesn't know the bounds of the earth."
Standing on the edge of the training field, looking at Sakura and Ais already standing in the field, werewolf Bete let out a disdainful snort.
"Don't cry if you get accidentally chopped by Ais later."
Perhaps it's because Sakura is a girl and looks to be only about ten years old. Compared with the bad behavior when facing the protagonist Bell in the original work, the current Bete is just as poisonous. Although his attitude is undoubtedly much better, he is even vaguely trying to persuade Hestia and Seele around him to give up the idea of letting Sakura challenge Ais.
"Ais should have made a measured move, right?"
Thinking of Ais's usual dull behavior, Tione on the side said with a somewhat unnatural expression.
"What are you afraid of? Captain Finn is still watching, right? Nothing will happen."
Tiona, who is the younger sister to Tione, spoke confidently, but it was not her confidence in Ais, but her confidence in Finn.
" Miss Ais, come on!"
Lefiya, who is a little fan of Ais, shouted.
In the training ground, the temporary referee Finn was giving final instructions to both sides.
"This discussion will end with the key points of both parties. If one party is in danger of causing serious damage, I will not hesitate to terminate this discussion."
Although he said it to both sides at the same time, everyone present knew that Finn's current emphasis was directed at Ais.
It is impossible for lv2 to defeat lv5. The people who come to watch this competition include Finn and Loki. Strictly speaking, they just want to take a look at. The real highlight is how far Sakura, the genius who made Orario famous together with another Miss Seele, can persist in the hands of Ais.
"So, are both parties ready?"
Sakura and Ais, who were standing opposite, nodded together.
"Okay, now, the battle begins!"
Finn's figure instantly disappeared in the center of the field, and Ais immediately pulled out the Despair Sword in his hand.
"If you can't hold on, you must say it as soon as possible."
Sakura, who looked to be only ten years old, Ais warned him, and then the figure immediately rushed forward, approaching Sakura quickly.
In this regard, Sakura, whose fighting style has always been biased towards the mage, had no intention of avoiding it at the moment, but took out a Sakura Card.
"Sword, show your true power in front of me and turn it into a sharp blade that cuts off the enemy!"
"I now order you in the name of your master, Sakura, to lift the seal!"
The huge magic power was released from the card, lingering on the wand in Sakura's hand and turning into a sharp sword.
Clang!
The edge of Despair Sword's sword collided with the back of the sword formed by Sword Card in Sakura's hand, making a clanging sound.
But then, under the pressure of Ais's lv5 power, the sword in Sakura's hand was immediately suppressed back.
However, Sakura did not panic, and saw another card fly out, liberated by the chanting of Sakura.
"Power, gather everything into me, and the seal will be lifted!"
Terrifying power suddenly burst out from Sakura's hands. In an instant, Ais, who had been suppressing Sakura head-on with his strength, was unexpectedly sent flying by Sakura's backhand sword under the watchful eyes of Loki Familia cadres around the training ground!
Boom!!!
Ais's body flew all the way out of the training ground, and finally stopped after smashing into pieces of training equipment. For a while, the entire training ground became filled with smoke and dust.
"Miss Ais... was photographed and flew out?"
Lefiya, who was still cheering for Ais, now became stunned, and the disdainful eyes of werewolf Bete suddenly widened like Tione and Tiona.
"Is it the effect of some kind of True Magic? Whether it is the sword that the magic wand transformed into, or the power that seemed to be amplified dozens or hundreds of times just at that moment..."
Recalling the scene that just occurred, Finn analyzed the information in his mind with a serious expression.
Chapter 111: The sword that cuts off everything, Sword Princess's defeat [two chapters in one]
"Huh..."
In the training ground, among the broken training equipment, Ais raised his body covered in dust and looked at Sakura in front of him.
"Is it True Magic?"
Just listen to Ais ask Sakura seriously.
"True Magic who turned the wand into a sword, True Magic who suddenly became stronger."
Are these different effects of the same True Magic, or does the other party have two different True Magics at the same time?
"And... why are you using the back of your sword to resist my attack? Are you holding back on me?"
Recalling the scene at the beginning of the battle when Sakura turned the wand into a sword and deliberately used the back of the sword to collide with his own attack, Ais tilted his head curiously.
Hearing this, Sakura, who was still standing there holding the weapon transformed by Sword Card, shook his head.
"If Sword Card's power is used directly against sister Ais, sister Ais's weapon will be broken."
Worried about damaging your weapon?
"If that's all, don't worry, my weapons have good effects..."
Although weapons with indestructible effects are one level lower in power than other weapons of the same level, they are relatively durable and will hardly be damaged in battle. No matter how sharp the sword in Sakura's hand is, it logically cannot damage Despair Sword.
Therefore, Ais feels that Sakura can attack him with all his strength.
But before Ais could express his subsequent thoughts, Finn, who was standing on the edge of the field, spoke first.
"Miss Ais, Sakura must have her own reasons for saying this. If my guess is correct, that sword should have some special ability or effect that is very destructive, right?"
"Mr. Finn is right."
Regarding Finn's guess, Sakura nodded and answered in the affirmative.
"My True Magic is named [Card Creation]. I can create different cards according to my needs. Each card has different effects."
"Sword Card can turn into a weapon and have the effect of cutting off all objects. Power Card can Limitless amplify its own power by consuming magic power."
There is no intention to hide the effect of True Magic. After all, compared to the truly powerful talent of Sakura, there is really nothing else to say about the ability to make cards except for the emotional bonus.
Sakura can still achieve the effects that the magic card can produce even without using the magic card, so Finn and even other cadres and members of Loki Familia are still secretly thinking about it. When secretly guessing what Sakura's True Magic was capable of, Sakura directly and openly stated the effects of his True Magic.
By the way, I simulated the principle of Binding Vow, and while exposing my abilities, I also slightly enhanced the effect of my True Magic.
"Card Creation, is there such a True Magic?"
At this moment, after hearing Sakura talk about the effect of his True Magic, all the Loki Familia members who had just barely recovered from the scene where lv5 Ais was knocked away by a lv2 Sakura sword were shocked again.
By creating cards with different effects, you can exert different powers...
Doesn't that mean that for Sakura, every time a card is produced, it is equivalent to obtaining a new kind of True Magic? How many different cards are equivalent to how many different kinds of True Magic are mastered?
Moreover, these True Magic are not ordinary True Magic, but can compete with the Adventurers who have awakened through Grace. They have the ace True Magic that can easily turn defeat into victory in a battle. They are almost as powerful as Miracle.
After all, the two cards currently displayed by Sakura, according to Sakura's own introduction, the effects of both [Sword] and [Power] are very exaggerated.
And how many cards like Sakura are there?
Gripping the long sword in his hand, Ais once again assumed a fighting stance.
"Is it a sword that can cut off everything? Sorry, if possible, I still want to give it a try."
Despair Sword, which has the indestructible effect, and Sakura, who claims to have the power of True Magic, can cut off everything. Which one is stronger?
Looking at Ais's firm or stubborn eyes, Sakura didn't insist too much. He also clenched the sword in his hand and looked at Ais.
"If sister Ais really wants to give it a try, then come."
""Wake up"!"
A chanting sound rang out from Ais's mouth, and a blue-colored wind lingered around him, greatly strengthening his attack, speed, and defense.
Then, the blond girl dodged and instantly crossed the distance she had flown backward at extremely fast speeds to arrive in front of Sakura, swung her weapon and launched an attack.
And with the help of the top swordsmanship skills brought by Sword Card, Sakura also judged the direction of Ais's attack in an instant, and faced the sharp sword transformed by Sword Card in his hand.
Brush!
The blades of the two swords collided with each other. This time there was no clang, no stalemate, or even a pause.
I saw the sword transformed by Sword Card passing over the Despair Sword in Ais's hand as if it were nothing. As the sword holder, Ais didn't even feel the collision of the weapons. He saw that this top-notch weapon with indestructible attributes that had accompanied him through countless battles was broken into two pieces on the spot.
"It's really... that even weapons with indestructible properties can be cut off?!"
At this moment, not only the onlookers Loki Familia cadres, but also the three lv6s Finn, Riveria, and Gareth seemed a little out of sorts.
Through the eyesight brought by their own levels, Finn and the others can clearly see that Despair Sword, which has the indestructible attribute and can be regarded as the top grade of Orario in terms of quality, cannot even resist the weapon turned into by Sakura's card, and it was broken in just an instant.
Even weapons with indestructible attributes are like this. Doesn't that mean that in front of that sword, any defense is meaningless. Whether it is armor, weapons, or any other means of defense, as long as you dare to face that edge, you must be prepared to be cut in two with both the person and the weapon?
"It's really scary. This ability alone can be called a very powerful True Magic, right?"
"But it's just a part of that child True Magic, or it's just a creation of that child True Magic."
Gareth and Riveria, who were standing behind Finn, spoke one after another.
At the same time, on the battlefield where the two were fighting, after realizing that his weapon had been cut off, Ais immediately retreated to distance himself, and then began to move around Sakura.
With the numerical attributes of level 5 and the blessing of True Magic, Sakura, who is only level 2, is obviously unable to continue attacking Ais in this situation. Instead, Ais can take advantage of its speed and hold a broken sword in Sakura's blind spot to try to find opportunities for a sneak attack.
However, I found opportunities to take action several times in succession, but each time I was blocked by a Formless barrier.
Dang! Dang! Dang!
The broken sword in his hand collided with the 360-degree protective sound surrounding Sakura, making a huge sound every time, but it was still unable to shake this defense in the slightest.
"Is it the new True Magic card again?"
Although he usually looks dull, Ais, who has a very sensitive combat IQ, immediately realized the reason for the situation in front of him.
Shield Card can provide the user with absolute defense, allowing the user to be protected from all harm.
While using Shield Card to help itself resist the attack, Sakura tried to find opportunities to attack Ais, which was moving at high speed.
But Ais, who already knew the powerful weapon in Sakura's hand, would obviously not give Sakura a chance to attack him head-on. He would always keep the distance at a distance where he could attack Sakura at any time with his explosive speed, but Sakura could not attack himself.
Faced with this situation, two new Sakura Card flew out of Sakura, who was under the protection of Shield Card.
"Wind, please help me blow away the enemies in front of me!"
As Sakura's words fell, a strong wind roared with Sakura and Ais at the center. Under the influence of this force that was completely opposite to the wind wrapped around Ace, Ais's speed began to drop significantly, and even his movements were seriously disrupted.
As a last resort, Ais could only resist the force and retreat, not wanting to give Sakura a chance to attack her, but this time she failed to do so.
Because another card in Sakura's hand also lights up at this moment.
"Time, stop it."
At this moment, the world turned into gray and white, and everyone or everything present seemed to have pressed the pause button, or was frozen in a photo, all suddenly stagnating at a certain moment.
