The Elemental Sword Demon King
Episode 222: The Power of the Masked Lucifer
POV: The Victoria Blade
_____________________________________
Rei Assar, «Strongest Sword Style Holders».
Idolizing Rei Assar's sword style, Victoria decides herself to become a powerful Spirit Contractor. Since Rei Assar was her goal, Victoria never gave up whatever hardships she faced.
She was the one Victoria idolized all this time. Victoria had always dreamed that someday they could do the sword style together.
"Truly bland, Sefira Blum," said Victoria staring intently at the enemy that appeared in front of them. Magician who mimics the appearance of «Holdest Sword Style Holders».
"Do you think our attack will be hesitant just because of that appearance?"
Beautiful long hair dark night color. The eyes of the mysterious dark dwelling. A beautiful face that looked dignified like steel, yet graceful like a flower.
The girl before his eyes undoubtedly had an appearance identical to the Strongest Sword Style Holder whom he had always admired. However, Victoria noticed a significant difference between this fake and real person. That is, a twisted expression of ridicule.
(The Assar Rei I admire will never display such an expression!)
Victoria clutched the Fire Whip violently in her hand. Similarly Eve and Aura, they did not waver either. Instead, Eve became increasingly angry.
"I'm not forgiven! How dare you defile the admiration that my foster brother and I respect for her!"
The tip of the spear «Ray Hawk» produced a terrible storm. Indeed, trying to cause negligence through imitation is meaningless. No matter what type of magic was used, Rei Assar's noble aura could not be imitated.
"Fufuu, it is a pity, but this imitation is not limited to appearances only, little hell Salamander. Do you really think that the power of «Cursed Doll» is only limited to transformation magic?"
Disguised as Rei Assar, the witch scoffed as her bright red lips twitched, "Aeroku's element, «Masked Lucifer», has the ability to replicate the target's power. Whether contracted spirits or fighting skills remembered by the body, everything."
"That kind of thing, it's impossible!"
"Fufuu, you idiot!"
Sefira Blum casually swung the dark demon sword, «Void» Sword. In the blink of an eye, jet-black lightning burst out from the tip of the sword and shattered the stone surface on the floor.
"Skill it!?"
«Void Void». Rei Assar's pride demon sword technique that many elementalists dreaded during the «Style Sword Festival» three years ago.
"Could, really..."
"He can use Rei Assar's abilities!?"
Eve and Aura expressed their shock one after another.
Mimicking the appearance of the Strongest Sword Style Holder, Sefira licked the dark demon sword and said, "Alright, let's start our sword style, Salamander hell♪"
"He's coming!" Shouted Victoria warning, the figure of the witch disappeared from sight.
(Speed increased!?)
Unable to hear any sounds or sense any presence from her, Victoria felt her move like a shadow. The movement is really the same as the movement three years ago.
"Take this!"
Victoria swung the Fire Whip with maximum force. Scorching flames surged as if they were about to devour the rocky ground.
Amidst the burning flames, the figure of the witch disappeared. However, it was nothing to be afraid of because Victoria knew what to do.
(If I can't catch his movements, I'll just burn a large area!)
Using the reaction force from hitting the floor with her whip, Victoria quickly jumped back.
(It should buy time. If Sefira Blum really imitated Rei Assar's sword skill, he couldn't be allowed to enter into close quarters.)
However, Victoria's plans were completely thwarted immediately. Sefira was not caught in the flames. As if she was Victoria's shadow, she remained low and followed closely as Victoria jumped.
(How could this possibly happen!?)
* ᛁᚠ ᚨ ᚾ ᛁ ᛃ ᛇ ᛉ ᛋ ᛒ ᛗ ᛜ ᛟ ᛈ ᛋ *
"Frozen ice net, advanced and translucent, «Frozen Ground»!"
Aura shot an arrow that followed the trajectory of the parabola, but it finally hit the empty ground.
(Too slow! Even Aura's vision as a sniper wasn't enough to catch Sefira's movements.)
* ᛏ ᛒ ᚦ ᚨ ᚱᚲ ᛗ ᛜ ᛟ ᛈ *
"Damn you. Fireball!"
"Aha, silly little hell salamander♪"
The dark demon sword sliced through Victoria's chest.
"Ohhhhhh!"
As intense pain filled her body, Victoria inevitably cried out.
Despite the fact that the damage caused by «Elemental Aero» that has not yet materialized is usually converted into psychological damage, the, the witch seemed easy enough to turn the physical damage to the body into a pure pain sensation.
Girding the face of the Strongest Sword Style Holder, Sefira's eyes showed a sense of sadism and said, "What a good scream, it makes me tremble with excitement."
* ᛇ ᛉ ᛋ ᛏ ᛒ ᛗ ᛜ ᛟ ᛈ ᛋ ᛏᛒ *
"You baj*ngan, dare to do that to Victoria. Evil wind, go and rage!"
Eve swung the «Ray Hawk» and released the wind sword. But it doesn't work against him.
"useless. That type of technique was completely ineffective against Rei Assar."
Running across the rocky wall to dodge the blades of wind, he fought Eve in a melee fight in the blink of an eye.
This is the final form of high-level three-dimensional movement. Shadow Stitching. A type of physical technique used by assassins.
Accustomed to the correct knight sword technique, Eve was unable to capture such a move with her various variations. Rushing through the gap in the «Ray Hawk» movement, Sefira pierced through Eve's chest along with her armor with a flash of sword.
"Armghhh!"
"Ara ara, what a sad look. The Eldant Empire's Elite Knight." He denounced and slashed again towards Eve who was standing unsteadily in pain.
* ᛋ ᛏ ᛒ ᛖ ᛚ ᛟ ᛗ ᛚᛜ ᛞ ᛟ*
"The furnace guard, release your anger, «Flame Chain»!"
Struggling to his feet, Victoria unleashed the Fire Whip in a spiral motion. However, it was again a futile act.
"That little light you call "Fire"? Are you sure you are the sister of the «Queen of Catastrophe»?" Sefira Blum shrugged and prepared «Void Sword» in the horses position.
*ᚠ ᛋ ᛉᛟ ᛗ ᛚᛜ ᛏ ᛒ ᛗ ᛜ ᛟᚢ ᚱ ᚲ ᚷ ᚠᚢ ᚦ ᚨ ᚱ ᚲ *
"The Absolute Sword Art, Fourth Form, Fire Slash!"
The demonic sword swept out as if it was gathering swirling flames.
"Fire Salamander absorbed!?"
Enlarging its size by several folds, the fire sword swung down at Victoria and the others.
"Yeahahah!"
Victoria crashed, smashing into the cave wall. Eve and Aura were successively devoured by a huge fire vortex that covered the entire great hall. Victoria had fire spirit protection, but Eve and Aura on the other hand, the bodies of the two girls were lying collapsed where the whirlpool of fire was extinguished.
"Aah, Guh!"
Even though their Academy uniforms were torn and tattered, they could still remain conscious. Slowly, Sefira approached the two.
"You, this!"
Victoria desperately tried to swing the Fire Whip, but due to the concussion from hitting the cave wall earlier, she was unable to move her finger.
"It's stupid. How can you think you can win against «The Strongest Sword Style Holders»?" Sefira twisted her lips with a cruel expression.
"Don't!"
