Man is infinite, and his ambition is to slay the dragon

[If Stella is the favorite to win the championship, then only Zig can compete with Stella! ]

[A-level vs. A-level! This will undoubtedly be the highest level match in the Seven Star Sword Festival! Maybe even tomorrow's finals won't be able to surpass this semi-final! ]

In the quiet venue where only the commentator's voice could be heard, Sieg walked onto the stage with neither light nor heavy steps.

And at the moment he stood still——

"——————!"

All the swordsmen who had fought with Sieg or were aware of Sieg's level trembled violently!

Dongtang Daohua pursed his lips, a bitter look appeared on his face: "...I really am a little unwilling."

"Toudou-senpai?"

"Sieg-san...he is really serious this time. Although he was serious when he fought me and Kanata, he was confident that he would not lose to us at that time. He was serious and relaxed when he was sure of his victory."

To put it bluntly, those two games were no different from serious warm-ups or fun for Zigg.

But it's different now.

Right now, Sieg gives people the impression of being [extremely serious]. Even though his posture is quite relaxed, no one would think that he is looking down on Princess Crimson Lotus.

"Mr. Sieg is really strong."

"Yes."

Ikki Kurogane looked at the two figures standing on the stage with a heavy heart.

He wanted to be the person who could stand in Stella's position, and wanted to give his all to repay the only friend who was willing to risk his life for someone like him.

But he couldn't do it.

(Next year...I will definitely step onto that stage.)

(must.)

......

on the stage.

Feeling the serious atmosphere emanating from Sieg, Stella looked down at her own hands—her fingers were trembling slightly.

A few months ago, when she first fought Sieg, Stella was unable to put up any resistance in the face of his extremely powerful strength and was on the verge of death. Even though she came back from the brink of death, she still had a very serious psychological trauma towards Sieg.

Stella couldn't remember how many times she had vomited because of this.

And now-

"Come and serve me! —【Fei Long Guilty Sword】!"

While clenching her hands tightly, Stella's whole body suddenly burst out with extremely hot magic power, which then gathered into a powerful golden sword in her hands!

"Boom!"

The great sword hits the stage heavily!

The entire Bayside Dome trembled instantly because of this!

Staring at Sieg, Stella smiled and said, "There shouldn't be any need for nonsense between us, right? I have been waiting for this day for a very long time - today I will surpass you! Sieg! And stand on the top of the Seven Stars!"

"Is it?"

Sieg smiled slightly, cold air gushed out of his hand, and a slender silver sword took shape in an instant.

"That would be great—if you can do it."

[It seems that both of our contestants can't wait! Then - the first match of the semi-finals officially begins now! ]

【LET's GO AHEAD——！】

115. Roaring Dragon

As the battle cry sounded, Stella took the lead.

"Ravage it—scorch it!"

Hundreds of fireballs the size of a human head appeared behind her at some point, and at her command, they instantly turned into a meteor shower that covered the entire stage! Dense lines of fire instantly crossed the space and landed on the stage!

“Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang——————!!!”

A deafening bombing sound exploded in an instant!

The raging flames engulfed the entire battlefield!

Sieg's thin figure disappeared directly in the blazing sea of ​​fire!

Will he be defeated?

(How is that possible!)

Without stopping there, she continued to create fireballs to maintain fire suppression, and at the same time, Stella directly rushed into the sea of ​​fire with her sword in hand!

She didn't believe that she could defeat Sieg with just this one move, and she never thought that she could decide the outcome with just this one move. After all, he was that guy, and it would be great if this opening move could cause him some trouble.

And just as she thought—

“Buzz————————!”

In the raging sea of ​​fire, a flash of light suddenly swept out!

The ring-shaped light directly cut off the main sea of ​​fire, and the strong wind that followed immediately blew away the entire sea of ​​fire that occupied the entire stage in an instant!

——【Dragon Slayer Skill】

——【Dragon Flash】

The silver sword in his hand flashed with the remaining light of destruction. Sieg still stood there without moving an step, staring straight at Stella who was rushing towards him.

The next moment,

"Qiang——————!"

The two swords, which were completely different in size, collided with each other, and the sound of the collision echoed throughout the entire stage.

Before people can adapt...

“Buzz————————!!!”

An even more terrifying shock wave suddenly descended, sweeping across the entire Bayside Dome!

The violent storm made all the audience scream and exclaim. Even though the authorities had prepared a number of swordsmen in the surrounding area to resist the impact, the sudden impact still caused all the audience to suffer!

Fortunately, this was just an attack without any power.

“Boom——————————!!!”

Just as people were thinking this, another even more terrifying impact erupted accompanied by the sound of blades colliding!

This time, all the audience sitting in the front row were knocked down by the impact, and even the audience in the back row - those who did not get seats in the stadium and could only watch the live broadcast in the square outside the stadium - were shocked by this second round of impact and could hardly remain calm!

Are these two swords clashing?

Is this the noise caused by the collision of swords?

That was basically two heavy tanks running at full speed and colliding with each other!

“Boom——————!”

“Boom————————!”

“Boom——————————!”

The third time, the fourth time, the fifth time!

Round after round of impacts attacked the surroundings as Sieg and Stella's swords continued to collide!

Every time the golden sword wrapped in the breath of dragons clashed with the ice-silver long sword filled with cold air, the railings would creak, and everything in the dome would tremble continuously!

(No giving in!)

Among the audience, few could withstand these waves of attacks and still pay attention to the battle situation.

And Ikki Kurogane is one of them.

(Whether it’s Sieg or Stella, both of them are not giving in! In terms of strength and speed——are they exactly the same?)

You have to know that the strength and speed of a swordsman are closely related to his own magic power. The stronger the magic power, the greater the strength and speed. Even if people with less magic power can do similar things through physical skills, the degree of improvement will definitely not be able to exceed that of a swordsman with powerful magic power.

Stella's magic power is the strongest in the world. Although Sieg's magic power is also great, it is definitely not as strong as Stella's.

Plus, Sieg has never learned any physical skills, so he probably can't--

(Eh?)

Looking at the two swords waving on the stage, Kurogane Ikki suddenly realized something.

(The trajectory of Sieg's sword... that is...)

“BOOM——————!”

A thunderous roar interrupted Kurogane Ikki's thoughts.

As a sign of the first end, Sieg and Stella retreated a long distance at the same time and returned to their respective starting lines.

Recalling the feeling of the close-range sword fight just now, Stella smiled unexpectedly and said, "You...are you really serious about learning swordsmanship? In just three months, you can improve your swordsmanship to the point where you can fight me head-on?"

Even though Stella was weaker than Sieg before, she was clearly better than Sieg in swordsmanship. After all, she had been learning the royal swordsmanship of Famiglian since she was a child, while Sieg had no basic knowledge at all.

but now......

"After all, I have met a good master." Sieg smiled. "Of course, I haven't learned much in three months. According to her, I am only at the entry level, but with my own strength and speed, I will have no problem fighting against a top-notch swordsman."

"As for you, it seems that you are completely fine. We fought each other for 250 swords, and your hands never trembled once, and your eyes never flinched. You have definitely overcome the psychological trauma."

"Huh! Of course!" Stella smiled confidently.

"but--"

At this point, Zieger changed the subject: "That's not what I want to see."

"Although I'm glad to see that you can overcome your psychological trauma, I don't believe that you have only improved a little bit since you were under Yashahime in the past three months. Don't hide your tricks. Use whatever you have. Use all your trump cards and trump cards, and fight me with all your strength."

"Now that Kuroki has withdrawn, the only reason I'm participating in this tournament is this match with you."

Say something from your heart.

Speak truly from my heart.

The agreement with Ikki Kurogane is certainly important in Sieg's heart, but if he had to say what he is looking forward to more, it would undoubtedly be the match with the grown-up Stella.

"Show me the power of the dragon you possess, Stella Famillion."

Sieg is a dragon hunter.

For someone whose goal is to hunt dragons, the only opponents he wants to deal with and the only objects he wants to hunt are dragons!

(You must have mastered it, right? There’s no need to hide it any longer! Take it out! Wake it up for me!)

(Awake the dragon in you!)

"I'll show you even if you don't tell me."

Without any hesitation, Stella had already prepared to respond to Sieg, and raised the Feilong Sin Sword with both hands——

“——【Dragon God Possession】!”

Just like the [Siegfried Fehr] that Sarah had drawn yesterday, it suddenly stabbed into his chest.

“Zheng————————————————!!!!!!”

At this moment, Stella's body emitted a blindingly bright light, and an extremely high temperature heat wave instantly swept across the entire venue!

And in that strong light——

“AAAAArrrrrrr————————!!!”

Sieg heard a roar that he was very familiar with.

There is no doubt that it is - the roar of a dragon!
