The Elemental Sword Demon King
Episode 28: The Loss of Patience
POV: Kirigaya Kaizo
_____________________________________
Small-Town Academy was a small-scale town within the area of the Sizuan Princess Academy. The cityscape, with rows of stone buildings, was filled with the sounds of many people.
While repeatedly crashing into the crowd that came and went, Kaizo ran towards the mentioned arena.
(If it's him who thinks too much about it, it's okay. But strangely, I felt uncomfortable.)
(Absurd. With the loss of his Contracted Spirit, exchanging sword styles was simply an act of suicide!)
As he was out of breath, he ran at full speed, pulling Nyx's hand. He did not understand why he was so panicked for her sake.
Victoria Blade was a proud, strong-willed, and original tyrant who quickly whipped her. However, somehow he could not leave her alone.
(Again, his true self is.).
Kaizo stopped at that moment he saw her, and subconsciously said, "His place is here, right?"
Before the arena was built in the middle of the city, there was a crowd of spectators gathered. The Sword Style Festival was originally a sacred ritual to let spirits enjoy themselves, a kind of Kaguya ritual.
However, there is no change to the fact that it is also the highest form of entertainment for humans. Also, just like other festivals, spirits prefer many enthusiastic people.
He showed his academy student badge to the guard and went inside, and encouraged the screaming audience to get to the front.
There was a deafening cheer. The sound of the weapon. An intense sword force had already begun in the arena.
There are about 20 participants. Different types of spirits were mixed and fighting. It was a battle royale system where the last remaining would gain the right to contract with a powerful military spirit.
Kaizo looking for Victoria. For that incredible sight, he doubted his eyes. Victoria Blade Covered with many wounds and crawled on the ground.
Against a Contracted Spirit who possessed extraordinary strength, Victoria fought only with whips and Spirit Magic. While his entire body was hit and slammed into the wall, he stood up and fought again and again.
"Victoria...."
He can't go help her. If Kaizo came in and helped him, he would naturally be disqualified. If he did that, he would probably never forgive her.
Kaizo bit her teeth and in front of her, Victoria was blown away.

POV: The Victoria Blade

(Weak! Why am I so weak?)
As she was thrown to the ground, Victoria bit her lips firmly. A taste of blood spread on his tongue, like he was cut somewhere inside his mouth.
He planned to stand up, but his hands were numb and motionless. It appears to have caused a concussion. Even some of his ribs may have been damaged.
"Gruah!"
Even so, he still did not raise the surrender card. He slowly stood up with trembling legs. He firmly looked up. In the center of the altar was a stone pillar that was revered.
Inside, there was a strategic-class military spirit, Gaebolg El Kanaf who was sealed inside, which was brought from the imperial capital. After dropping many spirit knights in the past war, it was a famous giant human spirit.
(If I get it, I can be strong! You can be saved!)

"Fire, dance in my hands, Fire Dance!"
Victoria turned the divine power dwelling within her into fire and produced a spirit magic fireball in her palm.
Naturally, such a thing could not lower his spirit. However, if he were to go after the elementalists, there might be a small chance of winning.
"Well, are you still planning on doing this? You're not learning, are you?" The voice from the enemy, he heard a sneering sound from in front of him.
Victoria bit her teeth and raised her head. The two elementalists stood up with ridiculing expressions. They are the Academy's upperclassmen. They each used the Adamantine Golem Spirit and the Mirror Demon Spirit.
"Hey, are you really an idiot? You don't even have a contracted spirit."
"Part of you is annoying, you know."
"You guys!"
Targeting the two upperclassmen who were mocking her, Victoria released a fireball. However, the fireball was stopped by the seemingly dull Adamantine Golem Spirit and was easily repelled.
"Ahahaa, what is it, spirit magic? Do it, Golem Adamantine!" The girl on the other hand ruthlessly curled her lips and gave orders to her contracted spirit.
The Adamantine Golem Spirit emitted a blue light and rushed over and charged into Victoria's stomach.
"Agp!" Screams came out of Victoria's mouth.
He did not dare to aim for his vital points. He slowly tortured her and enjoyed himself. This was not a beautiful sword style for spirits to enjoy. It was just unsightly violence.
"How naughty, you. Despite being the Queen's sister of the Disaster."
The face of the upperclassman was completely distorted in hatred. While being hit many times throughout her body, Victoria finally remembered it.
The two are co-workers, who were unilaterally dropped by Victoria at a practice match a month ago. They were still upset about the time it lost to him.
"What's with that look? If you don't give up quickly, you'll really die!"
"It's okay if you quickly kneel down and lick our shoes. Really, stupidity is the same as your brother."
"Shut up! Be quiet! Quiet down!" Victoria tightly grasped the sand scattered on the ground.
"Hn, did you say anything?" Putting her hands behind her ears, she provoked Victoria.
"I said, shut up!" Victoria shouted once more, warning her haughty upperclassman.
(Only abuse on Big Brother, no matter what, my boiling point for it is low!)
He inserted a holy power into his left hand, which was grasping at the sand. The re-carved black spirit seal shone ominously.
And then as the path connected, a terrifying sensation spread throughout his body. He would not be defeated in such a place. There is no value in him that is weak.
(To catch a stronger power in my hand!)
"What, contracted spirit!?" The eyes of the upperclassman opened in shock.
"If you want it, I'll show you. This is my true strength!"
(My strength?!)
The black flame, detached from Victoria's hand, swallowed the Adamantine Golem Spirit in an instant. Emerging from within the blazing flame was a jet-black magic beast flickering about.
It was not a glorious fire like Salamander. It was a flame of darkness, showing signs of madness. The roar of beast fur had briefly shook the entire atmosphere in the arena.
