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

But gradually, her confused starry eyes were filled with determination and tears.

Woo...Lady Xuefiya, I understand!

You are worried that our lives are too monotonous and you want us to regain our own honor as human beings, right?

Thank you...With a mother like you, Siletra would go through fire and water and never refuse.

Unfortunately, Siletla overlooked that next to the trophy there was a bag of even brighter and more golden coins.

Originally, Siletla's opponent in this round should be the previous champion, a seventh-level magician.

However...

The second prince, who had originally been confirmed to advance to the finals after having a bye in the semifinals, slapped his knee and stood up from the backstage.

He picked up the sword capriciously and coolly, and declared war using the loudspeaker crystals along the way.

"It is not reasonable for the royal family to advance without a fight. As a royal family, no matter what opponent we meet, we should go all out. One round at a time, until the end. I will take on this round!"

"..."

His Royal Highness the Second Prince was originally scheduled to go directly to the finals.

But when he saw the frail little girl opposite him, the Second Prince changed his mind at the last minute.

I can make it through one round after another, so why should I advance directly and give people a chance to say that I won unfairly?

There is no need to say more.

This guy must be an opponent that I can defeat with my strength!

67. Duel ( words)

Wow, you, the second prince of the kingdom, are so shameless!

There is nothing else to say. The prince's way of dealing with people is to bully the weak and fear the strong, and to achieve his achievements in the most shameless way.

Siletra is eager to fight.

She waved her little fists to adapt to the body that had been reshaped after thousands of years, and felt good about herself.

That is to say, the distance was too far, and in the eyes of the audience, it just looked like a warm and healing little girl who was being cute and playful and punching, which was quite childlike.

But in reality...

Siletra, every punch makes a sound

burst!

The barrier masters, who were also unaware of the situation, were wondering why the barrier they had constructed began to waver again. Could it be that the damage caused by the fire dragons just now had not been repaired yet? This was really strange.

Siletla put away her fist, and almost at the same time, Xuefia used some magical power to transmit the light voice to her mind through telepathy.

"Listen carefully, it's okay for you to hit someone, but be gentle and don't kill them! Otherwise we'll have to collect the bodies, which is so troublesome. Also, don't make too much noise. I recommended you to participate because I said you are a girl with fighting ability, not because you are a girl with only fighting ability. Don't let me down."

Woo...Lady Xuefia's voice is so beautiful that it rings directly in her head, making Siletla feel very excited.

Why don't you say a few more words?

However, Xue Feiya would never give her any advantage, so she stopped talking.

At the same time, Siletra gave Xuefeixia a thumbs up, indicating that she understood everything and would definitely do it!

Haah... I hope she really understood.

The other side of the venue.

The second prince, Milh, didn't take the little girl across the battlefield seriously at all.

He casually weighed the sword in his hand, smiled bitterly and shook his head, while casting a look of approval at the referee.

OK, OK, you arranged this match very well. Even though my opponent is gone, you still arranged a sure-win match for me. I will increase the bounty for you when I get back.

But...can you at least arrange an adult for us?

Isn't this guy opposite you just a little kid?

After all, bullying a little girl is not a graceful or glorious battle even if you win.

So Milh casually shook his black bangs in front of his forehead, took a step forward, spread out his palms and smiled.

"Little girl, you must be scared now, right? Don't worry, I promise I won't hurt you when the game starts."

"Hee... we won... great!"

"Little girl?"

"Stop making noise. Let me hear if there is any more noise! ​​Stop making noise!"

"...?!"

What is this guy talking about?!

Is it possible that even at this age, the brain has not fully developed?

Milh now doubts whether it is right for him to go on stage to participate in this competition.

But no matter what, he must achieve victory to the end.

He swung the sword, and the third-level arm strength shook the sword off with a buzzing sound. This was the most mercy he could show as a prince of a country.

"Little girl, I sympathize with you for being temporarily assigned to fill in the numbers. But I'm sorry, the adult world is very cruel. You may fall down soon, but of course you won't get hurt, because I will hug you the moment you fall, and then your mission will be accomplished. Remember not to leave crying, okay? Otherwise, it will seem like I'm bullying you."

Milh felt that his plan was perfect. It could not only demonstrate his military power, but also show the audience the gentle, loving and compassionate side of the royal family.

I believe that after this game, it will be of great help to him in improving his reputation!

Siletela listened to the voice in her head again and again, and it was no longer a problem.

Lady Xuefia didn't give her any reward either...The little holy sword was very disappointed.

By the way...who was that person just now who kept buzzing like a fly and kept chattering?

Only then did Siletella look up at the man who was approaching her step by step.

She suddenly remembered.

Oh oh...this is a competition!

Hmm...! Lady Xuefeiya, we understand. All we need to do is simply defeat the opponent, right? I will do it!

Little Holy Sword's thinking was slow, but the host's voice explaining the game never stopped.

[Oh! Contestant Sira has been standing there in a daze! Is she not used to the atmosphere of the venue? Lord Milh doesn't seem to be in a hurry to attack, and this battle is almost suspenseful... It depends on whether Lord Milh can end the battle with one blow? ! Or can contestant Sira withstand this sword? Haha... I boldly guess that this may be the fastest semi-final competition since the opening of the arena! ]

As the host said this, he certainly didn't notice the golden light gathering at Siletela's fingertips.

That would be a simple attack method that would allow one to bend his fingers at any time and easily hit Milh's head, causing him to faint.

Hee, Lady Xuefiya told us not to make any noise, so our way of attack must be very subtle!

It’s hard to say whether it is implicit or not.

but...

It may not be used anymore.

As Milh stepped a few meters away...

Siletla's clear eyes were gradually becoming cloudy.

It seemed as if a fire was burning in it.

The surroundings no longer seem to be flat...

It is blood and wailing, endless resentment, and infinitely sad hills and wastelands.

Parents’ curses and friends’ departure.

The sounds of "monster" and "get away" lingered in my ears and could not be shaken off.

What was reflected in Siletra's starry eyes was... the royal emblem of "sword and shield" on Milh's arm.

She hates...

I looked back several times in the rustling autumn wind, but could not see the thousand-year hatred of my former enemy.

Looking up with dismay at the drizzling winter rain, I realized the sorrow of purgatory and the sea of ​​fire.

The royal family of Orus...the shameless royal family that once held a sword and demanded that she give up her life and jump into the sea of ​​fire, and whitewashed everything to make it look high-sounding and righteous.

These are not the scenes that we see at this moment.

But Siletla seemed to see the same person a thousand years ago, wearing the royal emblem, walking towards her step by step with a cold face and a sword in hand, and behind her at that time was a sea of ​​fire.

The aura surrounding Siletella changed, and it happened almost instantly.

The audience can’t feel it.

But facing all this, Milh suddenly felt as if his feet were nailed to the ground and could hardly move forward even a single step.

He was extremely surprised and stared blankly at his shaking hands...

strangeness.

Am I scared?

Why? What are you afraid of?

This little girl clearly didn't do anything...isn't she just standing there stupidly?

Siletla lowered her head and said nothing, but beads of cold sweat had already appeared on Milh's forehead.

Is this some kind of territorial magic...? So I'm in trouble?

No... there was clearly no sign of her using magic.

He didn't know what the little girl had done, but he instinctively sensed the danger.

Maybe this little girl is stronger than I thought... Don't underestimate the enemy.

Therefore, to be on the safe side, he needs to negotiate as he usually does, and negotiation is for absolute victory.

"Ha... Little girl, I may not have explained it clearly just now. You just need to cooperate with me in acting. Don't do anything unnecessary. Put away your magic power. I will give you gold coins, lots and lots of gold coins, which you can't spend in a lifetime! I can also promise to give your parents titles...! I am a royal family. Count Xia Ya is definitely not capable of doing this! Hahaha... This competition is just a game after all. You don't have to risk your life for her. You just need to make a little sacrifice now, and I will... eh?"

The words are not finished yet.

But she has already taken action.

Milh's eyes were unable to catch it.

That is an afterimage, a streak of light.

Perhaps the only thing that Milh could see clearly was the faint flashes of gold and scarlet in the little girl's eyes under her blue hair when she looked up.

Inch by inch, the golden magic power turned into an invisible sword blade. In just a breath of time, Milh felt an unbearable pain in his waist.

The pain is indescribable...unprecedented!

He turned around to look at the figure passing by.

The little girl with blue hair had appeared far behind him at some point, and swung the golden phantom blade into golden spots, as if she had done nothing but changed her standing position.

——She didn't even turn her head.

Milh subconsciously covered the painful part, but the waist he covered seemed to no longer be his own, he could neither touch nor see it.

The surroundings seemed to be plunged into darkness, the sounds gradually faded away, and a darkness deeper than the night suddenly descended.

Eh...?

Milh opened his eyes wide, and they were gradually filled with bloodshot from fear and panic.

I was...my waist...cut off?

Cut off in half?!

Bleeding...?

There's going to be a lot of blood...?!

Am I going to die?!

The moment this possibility appeared in Milh's mind, he let out an almost uncontrollable scream, as if he was dying and his tears and snot suddenly flowed out!

Screams filled the place, but could not shatter the darkness around them.

But...
