I was accidentally injured by God and I just want to be an ordinary person

There were still thirty seconds left before the chanting of the strengthening magic ended, but from Angeline, Ella only saw two basic magics, "Strength Boost" and "Acceleration". Even so, Angeline's head was still covered with sweat, and the chanting process was extremely awkward.

Is it really okay for An Jieni to do this?

I couldn't help but feel puzzled by Angelica's behavior again.

Is there a surefire way to win? Even so, when Angeline saw me dealing with the bandits that day, she should have had a good idea of ​​my strength. Without melee and chanting magic, Angeline, who could only attack with a flat attack, had no chance of winning.

Time is still passing by.

Until the time for casting the strengthening magic was over, Angeline only released two kinds of strengthening magic, then held the sickle at an angle, leaned forward slightly, and rushed towards Ella like an arrow.

So fast.

This was Ella's first reaction. Angeline's speed was completely incomparable to the speed she used when dealing with the robbers that day.

Was it because of the acceleration magic? No, even taking that into account, the speed wouldn't have increased so much. If that were the case, then Angeline didn't attack at that speed that day because she wanted to protect the two sisters behind her, preventing other bandits from taking advantage. Achieving such speed with her physical body alone, Angeline might be more suited to being a berserker. No, perhaps Angeline truly possesses berserker magic, but is simply unable to use it due to the rules.

However, this was still a manageable speed, as the two sides were still thirty yards apart.

"Ice Cone."

A cyan mist appeared in front of Ella and instantly solidified into the shape of an ice cone. Then the front end began to blunt and turned into a sphere about the size of Ella's fist - there were five such ice balls.

Undeterred by the ice cone that appeared in front of Ella, Angeline continued to rush towards Ella in a straight line, but she changed the scythe from being held at an angle to blocking it in front of her body.

The distance became fifteen yards.

Ella swung the Pestle of Heavenly Punishment quickly, and five ice cones popped out quickly as if they were given a huge thrust, drawing a perfect parabola in the air with a blue tail flame, rushing towards Angeline's legs and hands holding the sickle.

Compared to Angeline's ability, the five ice balls cannot produce any effect. In fact, the reason why Ella only prepared these five was just to test the power and to restrain Angeline's disturbing speed. The real trump card is the countless terrifying ice balls that are now gathered around Ella - there are at least hundreds of them.

"Tsk, Ella-chan's strength is truly terrifying, but—if that's all we have, then it's time to call it a day!"

Because the ice balls flying towards her were straight line magic that could not be turned in the air, Angeline could easily capture their trajectory in the air. As Camisia said when she taught Luty, "A warrior who can only use straight punches is nothing to be afraid of. A guy who only relies on this weapon is just a slugger. If he can't hit the target, it's no big deal." This number of ice balls could not pose a threat to Angeline.

Even when moving at high speed, Angeline can make necessary evasive movements, which is the quality of a warrior.

Although both are warriors, the shield warrior and the spear warrior are completely different. Compared with the shield warrior, the spear warrior focuses more on attack. If quantified into specific numbers, then the shield warrior's attack power is 5 and the defense power is 7, the spear warrior's attack power is 7 and the defense power is 4. If it is changed to Angelica, the numbers will be more extreme, roughly equivalent to an attack power of 10 and a defense power of 2. In other words, Angelica is a warrior who is extremely inclined towards speed and attack - an assassin who fights head-on. This is Camisia's evaluation of Angelica's fighting style.

Angeline slightly turned sideways to dodge the first ice ball aimed at her legs, and then swung her scythe to slash at the ice ball that was aimed at her hands.

Cut open.

"You must be kidding!"

The ice ball was split into two halves by Angelini, and the powerless ice ball fell to the ground and shattered.

"He actually cut the ice ball directly?!"

incredible.

Ella couldn't help but take a small step back. Though the ice balls floating in the air behind her provided a buffer, the sight before her was so shocking that it shook her heart. While the ice balls themselves were indeed very fragile, Angeline had accurately caught and sliced ​​through an attack that approached the speed of a flying bird. Such an act, even in F.Wing, was only achieved by a handful of players, usually those who had won major awards in real-world sports.

In other words, Angelina's reaction ability is now on par with those players.

——With such close combat strength, he wants to be a healer? Elves are really a strange species. But if that’s the case, I should adjust my mindset.

The essence of PVP is to test the player's reaction speed and ability to control emotions. If Ella feels anxious just because of this level of response, she cannot be called a person who is immersed in the game world for many years.

Angelique was able to cut the puck because he gave her enough time to react. If the distance between the two sides was shortened to an extreme, even if Angelique's eyes could catch the puck, her body would not have enough time to respond - a slugger who could only throw straight punches would play a huge role at this time. Besides, he was not a person with only two hands now, and the number of pucks was far more than Angelique had imagined.

Eight, seven, six—

Even though she could already feel the sharp edge of Angelini's scythe, Ella continued her actions - using the Pestle of Heavenly Punishment like a baton to split the ice ball in the air into two, and then arranged it into a surface attack like an ice wall.

It is not a surface in the true sense. There is a small distance between each ice ball, but this small distance is definitely not enough for Angelini to pass through. This arrangement increases the range that Angelini needs to deal with. In other words, with only the kind of slashing attack that Angelini had before, even if she could cut through the ice wall, the rest of the parts that were not broken in time would make Angelini lose her combat effectiveness like stray bullets.

Without armor, Angelini's defense was surprisingly low, which even Ella could see.

When Angelina was only three yards away from her, Ella pushed the wall of ice balls away.

The ice wall that approached in an instant made Angeline's eyes widen. Then, she poured all her strength into her legs and jumped high like a rabbit. Then, she swung her sickle downward with force, using the ice wall as a fulcrum for leverage. She flipped over the ice wall like a pole vaulter in a documentary. After circling half a circle in the air, she raised the sickle high and used all her strength to chop from high above the magic shield that Ella had prepared in advance.

“Keng—”

"Tsk."

Almost at the same time, Angelica's smacking of lips and the sound of metal colliding were heard.

Sadly, Angeline's all-out slash, aided by gravity, failed to break Ella's magic shield. Leaping back, Angeline distanced herself from Ella, and the stage fell into a brief pause.

"Angelina, are you really an elf?!"

"Excuse me, I'm a genuine elf."

Ella was certain that if she hadn't cast her magic shield beforehand due to her PVP experience, Camisia would have intervened with just one strike, declaring her defeat. In fact, when Angeline's scythe collided with Ella's magic shield, sending sparks flying, Camisia had already quickly moved to their side, ready to rescue them at any moment.

The attack was ineffective. After a series of high-intensity exercises, Angelica gasped for breath, waiting for her strength to recover.

"Not only can you create that many ice balls, but you can also easily use a magic shield of this hardness... I wish I had half of your healing ability, Ella-chan, no, a third of it."

"I think Angelina is more suited to being a warrior. She can perform this kind of action with just her physical strength without any melee magic."

"If this is acceptable—"

Angelini's originally energetic expression dimmed slightly, and then instantly regained its liveliness. Exhaling a long breath, Angelini held the sickle in front of her body with both hands like a sword.

"The duel isn't over yet, you know? If I win, Ella-chan has to agree to one thing—hey!"

Rushed towards Ella again.

Chapter 14 Join! Angelica

But thanks to her previous actions, Ella has already found a way to deal with Angelini.

He casually threw the condensed ice balls at Angelini, not caring whether they hit or not, but quickly proceeding to the next action.

『Magic Shield: Burst』

Dozens of translucent magic shields were connected together like a shield wall to block Ella in front of her. Moreover, this magic shield was growing at an extremely fast speed, gradually surrounding Ella in the middle.

After doing all this, Ella's remaining magic power is——

zero.

But that's enough.

The fact was just as he thought. Angeline successfully broke out from the ice ball, and then chopped the giant sickle inlaid with countless heart patterns on the magic shield, making a harsh sound.

It's just a sound.

Because her magic power had been cleared, Ella, who was hiding behind the magic shield, seemed to have nothing to do. She could only blink as Angeline chopped the magic shield again and again. Although, Ella knew in her heart that Angeline could not break the defense.

Even the first full-strength attack before was unable to break that symbolic magic shield, not to mention that Angeline's physical strength has been depleted to a certain extent, and the magic shield was deliberately cast by herself.

Opposite Ella was Angelica outside the wall.

“Damn it! How can it end like this! Hey—hey!”

He took two steps back, then swung his scythe hard and chopped it down on the translucent magic shield, but it had no effect other than making the scythe groan harshly.

"Well, it's time for Angelica to admit defeat."

Although she told him this, the sound did not reach Angeline's ears because of the completely sealed effect of the shield wall. Ella simply sat directly in the shield wall and watched Angeline trying hard with a sweet voice.

——Angelina is so cute when she jumps around and swings her scythe like this...

Even on the battlefield, Ella inexplicably had this thought: if Angeline were older and she wasn't as she is now, she might fall in love with her, right? That kind of straightforward, lively, and somewhat cute persona was right in her range. But in that sense, although Lotte and Angeline had completely different personalities, she was also her ideal, um... type, but—

"Ahh, damn it, Loli God."

Angeline kept trying for a full ten minutes, and finally, she sat on the ground like Ella due to exhaustion.

"What? This kind of defense is even more abnormal than that of a shield warrior of the same level, right?"

If it was just an ordinary shield, Angeline was confident that she could break through the defense, but the strength of this magic shield was almost the same as that of a magic weapon of the orichalcum level. As a strategic resource, orichalcum could defend against most second-level magics. If it was made into a shield, except for a very small number of magics that focused on penetrating power, almost no magic could break through the defense. Now the magic shield cast by Ella was comparable to a shield made of orichalcum.

Because the outcome of the duel was almost revealed, Camisia walked up to the shield wall and tapped it lightly with her hand, making a crisp sound.

"Well, it's still a little different from a shield made of orichalcum, but are you going to give up, Angeline?"

"Ahh, give up. There's no way we can beat this kind of perverted defense."

Angelica waved her hands resignedly.

Seeing Angeline waving her hands as if she had given up, Ella removed the magic shield and walked over to Angeline.

"Is this the end?"

"Well, yes, Angelique gave up."

"With that kind of defense, there won't be many second-year students who can break it! After all, is little Ella really level 17? Considering the first Ice Cone spell consumes three points of magic, the second Ice Ball consumes six, and the third consumes twelve, with such a continuous release, her level has long surpassed the human limit!"

With Ella's help, Angelini stood up from the ground, but because of the intense exercise, her whole body was unexpectedly hot.

"Huh? Does Cone of Ice consume so much mana?"

A low-level magic like Ice Cone only consumes a little magic point of Ella. As for the second one, there will not be any consumption bonus as Angelini said.

"Don't you think Ella is also subject to such restrictions?"

"Miss Ella's magical qualities are special, so this restriction has little impact on her."

Because the battle was over, Lotte jumped down from the audience seats, came to Ella, and handed her a dry towel and water that had been prepared long ago.

"As expected, it's the Demon Queen... Hey, hey! There's someone here who needs help too!"

After muttering, Angelique raised her hand, looking at Ruthie with longing eyes, completely unlike the look of someone who had just fought. Ruthie then handed Angelique another bottle of water and a towel.

After taking the kettle and drinking it quickly, Angeline made a satisfied sound and said to Ella.

"I lose. Even though it looks like Ella can't hit me, but while the magic shield was still there, she probably recovered some of her magic power, didn't she? If I just keep casting ice balls and draining my energy, I'll still lose in the end."

"Ahahaha... Angelique's reaction was beyond my expectations. But then again, what was that request Angelique made earlier? It was the condition she asked me to agree to if I won. Wasn't that the reason for the duel invitation?"

Angelica was stunned for a moment, then embarrassedly rolled her hair with her hands.

“Um…um…actually, I wanted to use this duel to make a pact with Ella that we wouldn’t tell anyone about the ‘Death God’…Ella’s easy agreement just now seemed too casual…”

"Huh? Just because of this?"

Although I can understand Angelini's idea, but she made things so complicated just because of this kind of thing. Should I say that Angelini is too naive?

“But! It would be so embarrassing if Ella-chan accidentally told others about it! I already have no friends, and I’m called a useless elf. If I add that Death God name to the mix, I’ll definitely be banned from the academy!”

"Angelina doesn't have any friends? She's so cute, and she's such a straightforward and lively type, shouldn't there be a lot of men chasing after her?"

Ella's seemingly normal words made Angeline stiffen and she muttered with her mouth slightly open.

"Cute? Cute... or something like that? This is the first time I've been called that..."

—Hmm? Did I accidentally say something outrageous?

Looking at Angeline holding her face with her hands, her face flushed and embarrassed, Ella began to recall what she had said before, and then she found the reason.

Actually on cuteness!

If I remember correctly, in the beautiful girl games I played before, when the protagonist says the word "cute" to a beautiful girl, it usually greatly increases the favorability of the girl. If the other person is the kind of person who lacks confidence, this sentence will carry more weight.

In other words... I triggered the incident unintentionally.

This is too dramatic! Isn't this reality? How can something like this even work?

"It seems Miss Ella has done something extraordinary again."

"It might be a good idea to bring Angelina into the team. The princess is currently lacking someone capable of serving in the front line."

Camisia refers to the team battles in the practical class.

Angelique seemed to be still immersed in her own cute words, and kept muttering some dangerous-sounding remarks as if she didn't hear the conversation.

Although she really wanted to explain what she had just said, she was afraid that Angelina would have new ideas. Ella couldn't help but worry about her future.

"That's true...but would Angelique be willing to join the team..."

"No! No problem! Please let me join! I don't want to be alone anymore!"

"That makes us a team of three, Miss Ella."

Ella stretched out her hand and stopped Angeline who was about to pounce on her.

"Ahh, finally someone who can play the front row role."

As for the time when Ella remembered that Angeline's fighting style was actually completely inclined towards attacking, it was several days later.
