Chapter 556
"This match is just to let you see Celestia's strength, understand?"
Upon hearing Luo Mio's words, everyone else's expressions turned serious.
They and Lux were perfectly aware of what Luo Mio had said.
Luo Mio glanced at the time and addressed the crowd.
"It's time, I'll be going now."
——
Training Ground.
The audience seats were already filled with a large number of students and people associated with the academy.
Meanwhile, Lux, Airi, and Risha were already seated upstairs.
Sitting opposite them were the third-year students, led by Sonia.
Then, Legri, who was serving as the referee, stood on the referee's platform and announced the news.
"Now! Both combatants, please enter the arena!"
At a single command, Luo Mio and Celestia slowly stepped forward.
Celestia, dressed in her finest clothes, was the first to step out. People often say that clothes make the man, but this was not the case with Celestia.
On the contrary, Celestia herself brought out the beauty of the dress.
With her voluptuous figure and delicate features, Celestia's charm cannot be concealed, whether she is dressed in formal attire or a school uniform.
After entering the arena, Celestia looked across at the other side.
Then Luo Mio slowly walked out.
"--What?!"
At this moment, the third-grade students in the room all showed very surprised expressions.
Because Luo Mio was not wearing any clothes.
It's important to know that with the help of the costume, their connection with the mecha dragon will be smoother. Similarly, the costume itself has a protective effect on them.
Meanwhile, Celestia on the other side also looked confused.
But before Celestia could figure it out, Legri's voice rang out.
"Battle begins!"
Chapter Twenty-Six: The Name of the 'Strongest'!
As Legri shouted, "The battle begins!"
Celestia's gaze towards Luo Mio remained unwavering as she resolutely raised her Mecha Shell Sword.
Unlike Lux and Lisha's one-handed knight swords, Celestia's Mecha Shell Sword is a thrusting sword type.
"—Descend! Royal dragon, inheriting the blood of rulers, soaring through the skies amidst raging winds and lightning. —" Lindwurm!"
The girl's clear and melodious voice rang out throughout the Training Ground.
The girl held the Mecha Shell Sword high, and behind her appeared a giant dragon with a sharp and solemn appearance, its whole body shining with golden light.
"Connection, begin!"
Then, golden armor instantly enveloped Celestia's body, and two dazzling wings, like halos Celestia, appeared on her back, filling Celestia's entire body with a sacred majesty.
Luo Mio looked at Celestia's Divine Machine Dragon 'Lindwurm'.
'Lindwurm' is a wingless, two-legged dragon in Norse mythology that resembles a giant serpent.
Like Risha, Kurokushifa, and Lux's Divine Machine Dragon, it belongs to the flying type of Divine Machine Dragon.
On Celestia's right hand, 'Lindwurm', she held an oversized assault rifle, while on her left shoulder was a uniquely shaped Mecha Dragon Cannon.
Furthermore, a powerful sense of pressure was slowly released from Celes.
Even Lux and Lisha, who were in the audience, couldn't help but freeze in surprise.
Especially Lux, even he had to admit that without using Bahamut, he had absolutely no chance of defeating Celestia.
You could tell from the unparalleled pressure emanating from her.
Even the 'King of Conquerors' Bozelido was no match for her.
Airi, standing to the side, also looked serious, with beads of sweat on her forehead, and said in a tense voice.
"You'd better look carefully, brother. This is the 'Lindwurm' piloted by the so-called strongest in the academy, and her tactics!"
Even fellow Tirfa of the 'Knight Order' such a close-up Kurokushifa of Celestia's battle.
In the past, every time Celestia fought, she would defeat the enemy in an instant before they could even react.
But this time is different; Celestia's enemies are not so easily defeated!
On the field.
Clad in the 'Lindwurm' armor Celestia looked at Luo Mio opposite her and spoke in a serious and clear voice.
"So, instructors, may we begin?"
In response to Celestia's words, Luo Mio nodded directly.
"Okay, that's fine."
"..."
Upon hearing Luo Mio's words, the third-year students exchanged glances, unsure of what to say.
Celestia frowned slightly and looked at Luo Mio seriously.
"Instructor, please don't tease me."
Upon hearing this, Luo Mio was slightly taken aback, but then she realized what was happening and smiled at Celestia.
"No, no, no, I wasn't teasing you."
Seeing Celestia's puzzled expression, Luo Mio smiled.
"Unlike you Dragoknight who summon Dragoride, I am not Dragoknight."
Luo Mio's words immediately caused Celestia's eyes to freeze and her expression to stiffen.
The next second, Luo Mio gently flicked her hand.
Then a dazzling blue light burst forth from Luo Mio's entire body.
After the dazzling blue light faded, Luo Mio's figure appeared in the eyes of Celestia and everyone present.
The pale white, lightweight armor, with its deep blue evening gown skirt, made her appear like a 'Valkyrie' in everyone's eyes.
"Whip Knight: Bright Knight: Excelsis"!
Here is my third uncle!
Upon seeing Luo Mio's attire, everyone present began to whisper and discuss among themselves.
Even Risha Kurokushifa, who already knew that Luo Mio was not Dragoknight, showed expressions of surprise.
This was the first time they had seen Luo Mio wearing another type of armor...
Unlike when they were 'Star Anchor of Immortality', which brought them a burning sensation like scorching flames.
'Whip Knight: Bright Knight: Excelsis' brings them a profound, steady, and weighty feeling, just like a true knight.
Celestia was opposite Luo Mio, was even more shocked.
But Luo Mio looked at Celestia and chuckled.
"I'm all ready, Celestia."
Upon hearing Luo Mio's words, Celes immediately reacted, and her expression towards Luo Mio became serious and solemn.
Although she didn't know Luo Mio's background, she dared not be careless towards Luo Mio in the slightest when it came to the fight.
Then Celestia looked at Luo Mio with an increasingly serious expression.
"..."
And just like that, a full ten seconds passed.
Some students began to look puzzled.
Since the start of the match, Celestia has not made any move. Whenever she tries to move her hands or feet, Celestia silently retracts them.
Seeing this scene also surprised some third-year students who were familiar with Celestia.
In the past, or even before, Celestia had always dealt with her opponents cleanly and efficiently.
Even in the previous royal capital Practice Battle, Celestia used her powerful strength to eliminate all the opponents.
But now...
Lux, who was most familiar with Luo Mio's combat strength, could see it.
From the start of the match, Celestia had been searching for any weakness in Luo Mio, looking for an opportunity to decide the situation with a single blow.
However, as time went on, Celestia discovered that no matter what she did, or even if she slightly revealed a flaw or made a feint, Luo Mio had no desire to attack.
And just as Lux thought.
Inside the arena, Celestia's eyes were fixed intently on Luo Mio, who was wearing the 'Whip Knight: Bright Knight: Excelsis'.
In those few seconds, Celestia tried every possible way to get close to or attack Luo Mio.
But an invisible pressure was pressing down on her, making it hard for her to breathe, as if Luo Mio had lifted her throat.
"..."
And as time went on, Celestia's forehead was covered in more and more cold sweat.
But...
As she exhaled a long breath, the worry in Celestia's eyes gradually disappeared, and her gaze slowly calmed down.
Luo Mio's eyes lit up when she saw this, and she nodded gently to Celestia in affirmation.
After all, it's quite remarkable that someone could gradually calm down under Luo Mio's aura.
Celestia also lowered her body slightly.
"Bang----!"
Celestia maneuvered 'Lindwurm' at explosive speed, gliding across the ground and instantly arriving in front of Luo Mio.
He thrust the oversized assault rifle in his hand towards Luo Mio!
Furthermore, the sound of thunder and lightning erupted from the assault rifle, and at the tip of the rifle, lightning-like attacks shot towards Luo Mio at an extremely short distance.
Faced with the sudden attack and Lightning Strike, Luo Mio remained calm and composed, raising her arm directly.
"Buzz—!"
Instantly, a light blue barrier appeared in front of Luo Mio.
"The Holy Spirit's Firm Shield!"
"Sizzle sizzle sizzle sizzle—!"
The sound of lightning and the sound of a spear tip piercing through the air rang out immediately!
But...
Celestia's attack did not cause any damage to Luo Mio.
Celestia was also surprised when she saw this.
"How is that possible..."
The oversized assault rifle in Lindwurm's hands is her Special Armament, a dragon fang shaped like lightning and stars—also known as 'Lightning Piercing Spear'!
Similar to the Sevens Heads of 'Diamat'.
The electric shocks it releases can also affect the Phantom Jade Iron Steel of the Machine Dragon. As long as it hits the opponent, the lightning will penetrate the opponent's armor and directly cause damage to the user.
This attack is also known as 'Lightning Flash'!
