The demon princess was defeated and captured? Sorry, I acted in it)

"Xuefei, what did you say to her just now?"

"It's nothing serious. I just taught her some strategic plans. You'll understand when we start fighting. This pervert is quite good at fighting, but he's just straightforward and has no rules. It's okay to deal with the weak, but it's easy to be tricked when dealing with the strong, you know."

"makes sense..."

"Ok?"

Shialet didn't say much.

But after she shrank back and sat down on her side, she was obviously a little absent-minded.

Xue Feiya naturally noticed this detail.

When I saw Siletra and Dimani step onto the arena platform...

Xue Fei still noticed from the corner of her eye that Xia was frequently glancing at her, turning her head quickly and then turning back.

I can't stand it anymore!

"Xia? What are you struggling with?"

"fine."

"You still say it's okay. My eyes can see through illusions. Although I didn't use my eyes, I can still see through you. Stare..."

"Well...it's nothing...I just feel a little..."

"A little...?"

Xia lowered her voice and turned her head to the side, just like her awkward little mood.

"Well... Xue Fei didn't teach me... I'm just a little envious of Sister Siletra..."

"..."

Okay, it's my fault. I shouldn't have asked you.

Otherwise, Xiaya, think about why you are a hero?

Regardless of your magical power, your combat skills shouldn't be much worse than mine, right?!

Is there anything I can teach you?

On the contrary, I would like to ask you for advice on the "fighting skills" you used on me in bed in order to fight back, but unfortunately I am not that thick-skinned.

The game is about to begin.

But it was at this time...

Xue Fei's tone suddenly became a little lower.

"Xia, someone is coming."

"I know. Coming towards us?"

"Maybe... hard to say, but it's not threatening."

"Don't be careless, be vigilant."

Only with strong perception and a certain degree of tacit understanding can such an efficient conversation be achieved.

They both glanced at the stairs leading to the VIP viewing seats.

Over there... there is a person wearing a long gilded cloak walking towards this side.

It is difficult to determine its identity at first glance.

But the golden cross emblem on his cloak, symbolizing the authority of the church, and the crescent-shaped carving on his neck clearly told others where he came from.

As he passed the fence in front of Xia and Xuefei, he reached into his cloak and pulled out an envelope.

The action is natural and there is no pause

, placing the envelope on the edge of the steps not far from the two of them.

He walked forward without stopping or saying a word, lowering his hood and continuing to move forward. The only sound was the tinkling sound of the crescent-shaped carving moving forward.

Xia frowned and stood up, wanting to stop him and ask him what was going on, but Xuefei stopped her with her palm.

"Don't ask. He's just a messenger. Even if you stop him and ask, it's a waste of time."

——Because everything he wants to say is already here.

Xue Fei looked at the exquisite envelope lying quietly on the ground.

There is the same golden cross logo on the seal.

In this case...it's self-evident who this envelope is for.

On the podium, the papacy.

Still as a stone, with dark waves hidden.

Xue Feiya nonchalantly cast the [Gravity Magic], and the envelope that fell on the ground shook twice, flew up into the air, and landed steadily in her hands.

"It seems... the other party is a little impatient."

33. Tactics!

Timani had never thought that it would be so difficult to fight in just the semi-finals, where she hadn't even faced the Demon Princess yet.

【Dragon Flame】

[Advanced Fireball]

【Fire circulation】

An extremely high temperature flame torrent was projected from the magic circle formed by her fingertips, like a red sword, with herself as the hilt, penetrating straight into the dome of the venue's defensive barrier.

The passionate explosive force seemed to be able to overturn the barrier at any time.

It definitely won't overturn.

After all, this time the defensive barrier is not only controlled by Aclet himself, but also assisted by the [Fiber God Chain], one of the three secret treasures of the Orus Kingdom. It is a secret treasure specially used to construct a defensive barrier, and it has reached a strategic level of defense strength.

Even so, Timani's powerful fire magic continued to create roaring shock waves when it hit the barrier.

——But that’s all.

Since she needs to release magic continuously, it means that her attacks never hit the opponent at all.

Siletella turned into a blue meteor, leaping rapidly across the quicksand field.

Even though Timani had tried her best to open her vertical pupils wide and use the dynamic vision unique to the fire dragon clan to observe her movement trajectory, all she could see was an afterimage.

【Dragon Flame】...!

As expected, the roaring dragon-shaped flame passed through the afterimage of Siletla and, like many previous attempts, hit the barrier of the enchantment and dissipated.

This feeling, like punching a sponge, made Timani quite annoyed.

"Tsk... Running around...! Just like a cunning rabbit... Long Yan!"

"I can't hit you. I can't hit you. Hehe, big sister, just give up. This way, we don't have to chop you, right?"

"Girl! Stop looking down on me!"

With a wave of his sleeves, a huge curtain of fire was swung out, as gorgeous as fireworks. From the viewing area, it seemed that the entire venue had turned into a sea of ​​fire.

But when the smoke clears...

The blue light was still moving around Timani in three dimensions. Not only did Timani have to chase it, even keeping her head to prevent her sudden attack had already consumed a lot of energy.

The reaction from the audience was quite spectacular, mainly due to their disbelief at what they were seeing.

"Hey, hey, hey... I always thought that the girl named Xila won the last championship by luck, but I didn't expect... she is actually so strong! Even the attacks of the Fire Dragons can't touch her at all!"

"Brother, I completely agree with you. To be able to fool a high-level race like this... This scene is too bizarre. Who is she?"

"I guess this is the king's secret trump card...? But Sira doesn't seem to be attacking at all. Is there no way to get close? There's no way to tell who will win if this goes on."

Can’t tell who’s winning?

Not necessarily.

Siletla accurately captured that the power of the [Dragon Flame] that had just landed beside her had been significantly reduced compared to before.

The total amount of magic power of the Fire Dragon Clan is indeed naturally huge, but it is not a bottomless pit of magic power that will always be exhausted.

that's the truth.

It was a little difficult for Timani to condense the flame in her hands, and her breathing became increasingly irregular and rapid.

Siletla's heart leaped with joy - Lady Xuefia really didn't lie to her. She was right to listen to her mother!

The plan, which ensured victory without having to chop down the salamander, was very effective.

Timani withdrew the magic power from her fingertips.

She built a barrier of fire around her body to defend against the opponent's sudden attack and save magic power as much as possible.

She also understood the opponent's tactics.

This is not a solution... The opponent wants to use his speed advantage to wear me down.

But Timani felt strange again.

Since she has such speed...why not take the opportunity to attack?

You know, before the fire barrier rose, I didn't take any defensive measures, right?

Looking at the "blue rabbit" that kept jumping around using [Super Acceleration] but showed no sign of slowing down, Timani's feeling of being provoked became more and more obvious.

Okay, since you're not attacking me, there's no need for me to keep attacking you and waste my magic power.

"What do you mean? Instead of persuading me to surrender...why don't you try to attack me yourself?"

As she spoke, Timani secretly added an explosive attack mark to the fire curtain defense.

As long as Siletra launches a surprise attack, she will bump into the instantly activated [Exploding Dragon Flame].

I didn't expect to get a response from the other person.

But I didn't expect...

This blue rabbit actually had the time to reply while jumping around!

"We attack them ourselves? That won't work. Lady Xia Ya told us not to cut you down because she said it's already hard for you to beg for food. If you have to bear the medical expenses, it will be even worse and you won't be able to make a living."

"What...! You're the one begging...!"

He was so angry that he was about to start cursing.

But Dimani realized that she seemed to have heard a familiar name just now?

"Xia Ya? Do you also know that rude little girl?"

"You are the one who is rude! How dare you say bad things about Lady Xia in front of us?!"

"!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Timani felt a sharp pain.

Looking down, I saw a bloody scratch on my arm caused by a sword. The wound was very shallow, but it was indeed caused by a hit.

What surprised Timani even more than this was...

——Even though he was attacked, the [Exploding Dragon Flame] hidden in the fire curtain did not activate.

Why...?

In other words... this girl named Xila, her slashing speed exceeds the speed of instant magic?

is it possible?

This kind of thing...

It's really interesting...

Timani's aura changed.

The scarlet vertical pupils of the Fire Dragon gradually reflected golden light, and the calm expression was slowly covered with a ferocious smile.

Being attacked and injured, coupled with the humiliation of the other party's suspected "mercy", these elements would not cause anger for a member of the Fire Dragon Clan.

Instead, it will actually stimulate her desire to fight.

Okay...Okay!
