By the ti I finished taking the distance away from him, the pillar of light shattered and Nona walked out from the inside.
He made it seem like it was so easy to break it.
He even looked refreshing when he did it.
Did you grasped sothing when I was stopped by your barrier?
Even if I used a barrier stronger than the earlier one and caught the prodigy of Amsberg by complete surprise, she would be able to escape it. I am not a swordsman so I cant tell the difference in your swordsmanship butthe reaction speed, the instinct, the ability to read your opponent, and the ability to detect the dangers, yours are no match for her.
When fighting with the sa weapon, what makes the difference are your physical ability and your skill.
There is no doubt that both Elna and Nonas physical ability is among the tops of the continent. There may be so differences but it is not significant enough to make a difference in battle.
However, in terms of how they respond to incoming attacks, Elna is superior. This is enough to make a difference.
When fighting the vampires, Elna showed that she could escape from my curse barrier. So far, she is the only one capable of escaping it.
To put the cherry on top, I and Elna were fighting on the sa side back then. There was no doubt that I caught her by surprise. Still, she managed to escape it.
That is both how amazing and terrifying Elna is.
Was it thanks to the blood of the Hero flowing in her veins or was it the result of her rigorous training and actual battle experience, I dont know. Either way, it is proven that a surprise attack is almost ineffective against Elna in combat mode.
I see. You are saying that I am still inferior to her in terms of defense is it.
You should ask Egor if it is about sword skills. Personally, I dont think that there is that much difference though.
That being said, the chance he would win against Elna with her Holy Sword is slim.
After all, there is no room for petty tricks.
Theres no doubt that their fight will be an exchange of overwhelmingly powerful blows from each other.
Nona should know that well. Even when he was told that he is still inferior to her in terms of defense, he isnt bitter about it at all. Naturally, the defense is important but there is sothing that is even more important than that.
Then please assess my offense as well.
Saying so, Nona held the Dis Pater into an upper stance.
On my side, I also start preparing my defense and transfer magic.
Theres no doubt that this experintal site will collapse.
When I thought so, the magic power of the Dis Pater gradually increased.
It is not that it is gathering magic power from the surroundings, it feels more like magic power is overflowing from the Dis Pater itself.
The intense pressure it gave off does not lose to that of the Holy Sword.
Theres no doubt that its power is comparable to the four sacred treasures.
However.
That really is sothing. I can feel the culmination of your years of effort and obsession. Still, the Holy Sword is an extraordinary weapon even among the four treasures. the strongest weapon born of the stars. You cant hope to win against it with only that level of power you know?
So you said. But this still isnt my best.
Saying so, black shadow overflows from the Dis Pater. It swirls around Nona and gradually converges on the blade.
An attack that concentrates all of its power into one point huh.
That must be the highest output of Dis Pater right now.
It wont be easy to block it.
But that doesnt an I cant take it.
[[That is the shield of god that cover the heavensLike the sea of clouds that protect the clear skyIt covers the sky and disappears like hazeIt wraps around everything and covers everythingit represents protectionsit was created for all the weakTherefore, even the Gods can not pierce itTherefore, this shield is undefeated and InvincibleI call upon its naFirmantAegis]]
After finishing the chant, a bluish silver shield resemblance of the clouds appeared before .
There are many defensive spells in ancient magic but the spells with the na Aegis boast a high defensive power among them. Among all the Aegis, the FirmantAegis boasts the highest defensive power.
It is even more powerful than the Aegis I used to receive the Sea Dragon Leviathans breath and is one of the three defensive spells I can use.
It is doubtful at best whether I can block a blow from the Holy Sword but if its Dis Pater, I think that it should be possible.
My intuition tells that the Dis Pater is not as powerful as the Holy Sword.
Which ans, Nona is not as strong as my childhood friend.
As expected of you, Silver. I will give you my all without holding back!
Saying so, the Dis Pater glows with a black light.
Its clear to the eyes that the concentrated black shadow is rampaging in search of an outlet.
Heed my voice, Dis Pater-You are the treasure sword of the underworldUnleash your shadow and destroy all creationsYour lord now desires your destruction!
Nona swings down the Dis Pater.
Then.
Dark Shadow Slash!!
A torrent of black shadows was unleashed toward .
I took it with the bluish silver shield.
The torrent of black shadows continuously trying to break through the shield but the bluish silver shield remains unwavering on the spot.
The clash can continue forever but the result will not change.
The torrent of black shadows can not penetrate the bluish silver shield.
Eventually, the torrent gradually loses its power.
Even so, the shield didnt lose its brilliance. It stood in its place, immovable.
After a while, the torrent disappeared while the shield remained unscathed. This would not have been the case with the Holy Sword. It would at least leave a crack or at worst, it might get completely destroyed.
Right now you are no match for the Hero. Even the Dis Pater wont be able to rival the Holy Sword. That is my answer, Nona.
.
The shield disappeared and in front of was Nona who stood there silently while holding the Dis Pater.
That would be shocking for him after all huh. I can see that his atmosphere is completely different now.
I can sense his agitation.
I felt sorry for Nona but I activated the magic I prepared.
Ah, thats right. Like I said in the beginning, no hard feelings okay?
What..!?
Nona twists his body in a hurry.
The reason being, a light bullet was heading straight for Nona.
To stop Nonas movent, I hit so of my light bullets around.
In addition to being agitated, his reaction probably slowed down because he just unleashed a full power blow.
I didnt miss the chance and shot the light bullet at him.
I adjusted the trajectory so that it would nudge Nonas mask.
As intended, the light bullet snuck past his defense and shifted his mask.
It might not be able to even leave a scratch on the mask but with my light bullet, it should be enough to shift it a little.
Hou? That is surprising.
!!??
The mask was shifted a little and I could catch a glimpse of Nonas real face.
Only a part of the face is visible but I can see white skin, red eyes, and silver hair.
It was the face of a stunningly beautiful girl behind that mask.
It must be because of her race that she still looked so young even while she has been an SS-rank adventurer for more than half a century, or perhaps there is a different reason.
That piqued my interest but even if I asked her, she probably wouldnt answer.
Nona who readjusted her mask turned her hostility toward but unfortunately, the ti is up.
Saved by the bell huh.
When I said that, the underground test site began to collapse.
Since it would be a problem if my promised reward got crushed by the collapse, I enclosed the door leading to the room containing the experintal magic tools with a barrier and prepared a transfer gate.
Then, I approached Nona and grabbed her arm.
What!?
Of course, we are getting out of here right?
While mockingly smiling at Nona who asked that stupid question, I entered the transfer gate with her.
