The Elemental Sword Demon King
Episode 156: Difference in Power
POV: Kirigaya Kaizo
_____________________________________
The flames were on the ground. Accompanied by a loud noise, flames coated the ground.
(What a powerful destructive force!)
Enchanted by the resulting wind power, Kaizo falls to the ground. Quickly waking up and opening his eyes, a scene like the end of the world unfolded before him.
The soil was dug up like mortar. The wall of fire gnawed at the darkness of night. On the other side of the fire wall, the dragon spirit roared with intense ferocity.
The wind that accompanied him spread fire. The jet-black dragon flapped its huge wings. Sunbathing in the bluish-white light of the moon, Viona Spellister walked towards her silently.
Raising his hand, the dragon turned into darkness. The darkness then gathered and instantly formed a huge demon sword.
"Elemental Aero of dragon spirits «Nidhogg», «Dragon Killer»." Viona muttered that indifferently and raised the demon sword.
Kaizo felt it instinctively. That the sword in his hand was carrying a bad premonition on Kaizo.
(That's bad!)
Just as she woke up and dodged, Viona closed the distance in an instant.
"Destroy, immediately!"
Just before the demon sword came down, Kaizo jumped to the side. The sound of the ground being crushed could be heard loud loud loud all over the forest.
The demon sword lightly grazed him and his white uniform was covered in blood on it. Kaizo grimaced at the sharp pain of being cut by the attack.
(Don't tell me he really embodies his Elemental Aero!?)
If Kaizo doesn't dodge now, he'll split in half. He swung his sword with the full intent to kill Kaizo.
(Is this the influence of the «Blood Naga» that Victoria spoke of?!)
Viona's brilliant red eyes glowed in the darkness. A country where he lost most of his reason and became a rampaging madman.
'It is forbidden to kill your opponent in the Sword Style Festival'.
That was why elementalists generally limited their Elemental Aero embodiment and chose to cause damage with their divine power directly. But just now, Viona seriously tried to kill Kaizo.
"Ck!" He clicked his tongue looking at the huge matter before him. Kaizo quickly shouted the Weapon Works spirit magic and created a short sword in his hand.
With «Gate» Nyx closed, this was the best thing he could do with his divine power. It was only a substitute who could receive one strike from the opponent's sword aftershock before it shattered.
Jumping from the mud and just before landing, Viona swung her demonic sword. The bone-shattering power was created immediately.
"Ghaaah!"
A severe sword storm that continued without mercy. Kaizo rolled on the ground and could barely dodge the attack.
Cold sweat gathered on his forehead as he muttered, "It seems like he doesn't have a crack."
It was an unthinkable move for such a thin and delicate arm with such a huge sword. He was likely using the dragon property spirit magic to equip himself with muscle strength.
"It's not enough to make my blood boil, Kirigaya Kaizo!"
The demon sword was swung again. While emitting a dragon-like roar, the sword unleashed a surge of energy. The invisible fangs that were about to tear apart the flesh resembled Eve's wind blades, but its destructive power was on a different scale.
Slicing through the wound prevention school uniform, blood dripped from his shoulder. Kaizo mumbled softly, "Kuu, he's strong, as I thought!" Cursing while wiping blood from his lips.
An incredible divine power flowed throughout his body. In a direct fight, Kaizo had no chance of winning now. There was no other way but to pull this into a frictional battle by retreating into the forest.
Along with the awakening of her «Dragon» Blood and that oppressive might, Viona lost her ability to think calmly.
If Kaizo moved silently, he could at least buy some time. It was supposed to weaken the insane overwhelming power of «Dragon» Blood.
There was likely a time limit on how long he could fight under these conditions. The limit of a normal elementalist was one minute, but Viona was likely around five minutes.
(If I can stay away for five minutes, I can win.)
When Kaizo was about to retreat into the forest. A gigantic flame appeared under the cliff near the river far away from him.
"What!?"
He doesn't have to think where it is. That's where Victoria and the rest are.
"It looks like they were engaged in a battle with my subordinates." Viona's eyes flashed and she closed the distance in an instant.
"If you want to protect your comrade, you must use your full strength and defeat me!"

POV: The Victoria Blade
_____________________________________
"Be ashes!"
Waving Her Fire Whip, Victoria casts spirit magic «Fire» Ball. At the same time, Yuri El Cid, the elementalist holding a spear was engulfed in flames.
"As expected, if it's a direct attack, eh!?"
"It's a pity, but fire attribute spirit magic won't work against this «Lindwyrm»!" Saying like that, something pierced through the wall of fire. A giant dragon with red scales swarmed towards him.
"Maura!"
* ᛟ ᛈ ᛋ ᛏ ᚾ ᛁ ᛃ ᛖ ᛚ ᛜ ᛞ ᛟ ᛗ ᛚ*
"I know, frozen fangs, skewers, «Freezing Arrow»!"
Shooting at the body of the fire dragon in just a few moments, he unleashed an ice arrow. But just before the arrow hit it, the fire dragon spat out fire and melted it.
The ice arrow that barely hit also bounced off the scales and disappeared just like air.
"No way, «Freezing Arrows» is mine!"
"It used dragon attribute spirit magic!" Victoria shouted as she wiped the fire from the fire dragon.
The specialties of dragon spirits are their incredible strength and their high resistance to magical attacks. Especially with their «Anti-magic Dragon» scales, their magical resistance to the five main elements doubles.
For Victoria and the others who used one of the spirits from the five main elements, they were truly difficult opponents to deal with.
And from behind came Tiana's worried voice, "Victoria! «Deus El Machina» alone can't hold them!"
His knight spirit was currently handling two dragon spirits. His opponent was a type without wings or scales, a raging dragon spirit with close-range specialization.
Swinging their giant claws and tails, they slowly cornered the knight spirit. The raging dragon spirit was also far above his strength.
The reason they were being held back was because the knight spirit had a special technique to deal with the dragon's weakness. But there were two opponents, and they were controlled by expert elementalists.
As expected, even the defense specialist knight spirit could not reach a decisive conclusion with just a sword and shield.
"Tiana, Aura, please give me some time!" Victoria immediately asks for help, but Eve lands right in front of her.
"Guu!"
"Geev!"
Looking up at the sky, he saw the girl riding the dragon spirit flying in the air freely. The girl said, "I told you, I won't let you bother Miss Viona!"
The flying dragon spirit roared, turning towards the falling Eve and releasing countless fireballs.
"You!" Victoria quickly swung her Fire Whip and intercepted the fireball in the air which caused many explosions.
"Eve, can you keep moving?"
"Yes, sorry. I'm fine." The wound-covered Eve held back her «Ray Hawk» and unsteadily stood up.
Spirit Eve was top class even within the academy. Even ignoring any advantage from fighting in the air, he had been beaten unilaterally.
"These people are strong individually and their teamwork is more than that and very subtle than ours."
"It's so thick." Victoria painstakingly acknowledged the truth of Eve's observations.
If Victoria or Aura supported her, Eve should be able to fight evenly. But the opponent never allowed such an opportunity to appear.
"Deus El Machina is mine already..."
"Haa, haa, the compatibility with Lindwyrm is too harsh!"
At some point, they had been surrounded by the four Knight members of the Dragon Emperor. The knight spirit was pushed back by the two raging dragon spirits and Aura was completely exhausted.
"Deletion of Eldant representatives. Fair result for the first fight." Yuri El Cid exclaimed forming his fire dragon spear, and continued, "this is the end, Victoria Blade."
