The Elemental Sword Demon King
Episode 73: The Victory of Telak
The blazing flames were the relief effect of the ritual performance drawn by Tiana.
The wind power of the Elemental Lord ferociously inflames the flames. However, his opponent was an adamantine spirit, which had resistance to the fire attribute. It acted as if the wall of fire was nothing.
"Your fire spirit won't work on my «Adamantine»!"
Adamantine's spirit attacked. Victoria kicked the ground and jumped. The appearance of her flying and fluttering red ponytail hair looked almost like sparks.
Crimson killer flashes freely tore through the sky. The surrounding trees were cut from its roots.
The cut down is not just a tree in the forest. Perhaps it was unable to withstand the accumulated damage any longer, he thought that he heard a metal-friction-like sound as the adamantine spirit in its ore form split into four and fell to the ground.
"No way, my adamantine spirit!?"
"Of course, adamantine spirits have resistance to fire attributes. However, it seems fragile against a slash attack."
Victoria landed on the ground, and rubbed her red ponytail. Leaps and sparks landed in the puddle and let out a hissing sound.
"A puddle?" Kaizo, who was fascinated by Victoria's fighting style, suddenly frowned. It was right behind Tiana, who was performing the Kaguya ritual.
(Just now, there's no puddle like that, anyway)
At that moment, the shouting voice from Tiana could be heard, "Kyaa!?"
Suddenly, his body was captured by a giant shadow that appeared from within the puddle of water. It had a large slimy transparent frame and frightening shiny red eyes. And then, he had a big chin. It was a water spirit in the form of a giant snake.
"Miana!"
"Ah, hn, what are you doing?!"
Her glossy, wet semi-transparent body flipped Tiana's skirt, and tightly wrapped around her slender body.
Her soft chest was squeezed and breath like gasping came out from her throat. Tiana was restrained in the air as she squirmed, but she was helpless against the spirit opponent.
"No, no, don't touch anywhere, uh, ti-tidaaaaak!"
"Why did you do that! Release Tiana!"
Shooting at the slimy coiled snake's body, Victoria launched her Fire Whip. However, the Flame Whip made a hissing sound and slipped through the semi-transparent body.
It was a water spirit, which had the worst compatibility with the Salamander, which was a fire spirit. Even within the five great elemental spirits, it was the spirit that Victoria was least willing to face.
Furthermore, the spirit that took the form of a beast was a high rank spirit. It might be the contracted spirit of the commander, but there was no sign of the elementalist using it.
"Brengsw*k!"
Kaizo was about to run to his side, and at that moment, the water spirit raised its head He aimed at Victoria and released the powerful Aqua Breath.
Victoria knocked down the water bullets with her Fire Whip, but she couldn't defend against them all.
"Victoria!"
Kaizo quickly changes her direction, grabs Victoria's body, and jumps. Immediately after, countless water bullets had made their impact. Large explosions, as if reversing the ground happened consecutively.
"Water spirit attack type? What power is that?!"
"Fuaa, Ka-Kaizo, what are you doing?!"
They landed on the ground, and Victoria turned a dead red and shouted. Seemingly being carried in his arms embarrassed him.
"I-I get it, I get it, so don't scratch my face!"
As Victoria was gently released to the ground, the water spirit turned around. Raising his head, he tried to release the powerful Aqua Breath again.
At that moment, a dazzling glint emerged from Tiana's body.
* ᛜ ᛟ ᛈ ᚾ ᛁ ᛃ ᛇ ᛈ ᛉ ᛋ ᛏᛒ ᛖᚠ ᚢ ᚦ ᚨ ᚱᚲ ᚹ ᚺ ᛏ ᛒ ᛖ ᛚ ᛜ ᛞ ᛟ ᛗ ᛚᛜ ᛞ ᛟ*
"You, servant of the king of the sons of men, knight and swordsman!" Tiana's lips twisted the spirit language summoning gracefully.
* ᚲ ᚹᚺ ᚾ ᛁ ᛃ ᛇ ᛈ ᛖ ᚠ ᚢ ᚱ ᚲ ᚷ ᚠᚢ ᚦ ᚨ ᛉ ᛋ ᛏ ᛒ ᛚ ᛜ ᛞ ᛁᚠ ᚨ ᚲ ᚾ ᛁ ᛃ ᛇ ᛉ ᛋ ᛏ ᛒ ᛗ*
"With the old blood contract, be the sword that protects me, come forward and do my bidding!"
In an instant when the tightening snapped, Tiana took the opportunity to recite the spirit summoning spell. Immediately, the gigantic water spirit body swelled up and exploded all at once from within.
What emerged from within the fog was an armored knight, carrying Tiana in one hand. It had a stiff silver heavy armor. His red eyes were shining brightly on his helmet.
It was a knight spirit «Deus El Machina». The contracted spirit that served the Eldant royal family for generations. It was a power that Tiana, once referred to as the Lost Queen, had returned to.
Tiana was gently let down and collapsed on the ground because she had exhausted all her strength.
"Supreme!" Kaizo calmly told, and pointed the tip of his sword towards the middle of the puddle.
"It seems like your intuition is strong." The hiding water elementalist commander admitted defeat, looking annoyed.
****
Tiana, who had been captured and bound by the water spirit, wore a tired expression. Nyx, who returned to her human form, slightly pinched the handcuffs of Kaizo's uniform.
"This makes it the third consecutive victory in our battle, this is all thanks to my incredible command." Brushing her red ponytail hair, Victoria muttered in a good mood.
"I won't deny it, but today's game was a little too close." Kaizo shrugged his shoulders and showed fatigue.
Although, winning against a seventh ranked team was excellent. With this, they should be within the reach of the top three, who could obtain the participation qualification of the Sword Style Festival.
"That's right, we can't be relieved yet. As far as the top-ranked team we haven't been up against is concerned, it's likely that we'll be up against the third-ranked team, Eve next time with high odds."
"Eve? I would love to quarrel with her sword."
Eve's fighting style technique, completely devoid of things like tricks, fair and honest knight sword styles. If it was him, he was sure he could definitely fight with good feelings.
Victoria somehow pouted her lips, looking displeased at Kaizo muttering such a thing.
"W-What, you want to see Eve's chest shake violently?"
"What, well, of course, Eve's chest is big, but, ah, it's not,"
As Victoria glared sharply, Kaizo shifted the subject in confusion. "Me-even so, if I remember, Eve's team had two colleagues who were still injured, right?"
They are Rin and Misha of the Hybrid Knights. They, who were also Eve's teammates, fought Noah Alnest on a mission the other day and were injured. It must have taken quite a bit of time for the two of them to return to the academy.
"Yes, if Eve fails, we might have to fight against a second-ranked team, or first-ranked Lucia Eva. To be honest, it's not very interesting."
"Lucia?"
"A knight from the Duke Veilmist family. Taking the nickname of the Scylla Fortress, he was the strongest elementalist in the academy."
As Victoria spoke of the nickname, her voice trembled slightly. "The strongest disciple of the Academy...."
He was the first person in the ranking order between schools. He was the strongest elementalist in the academy that even Victoria feared, no; he feared the entire academy disciples.
(What kind of opponent is he?)
(Hn? However, the Veilmist duke's family was of course,)
Suddenly, Kaizo seemed to have remembered something.
"Well, after all," To remove the heavy atmosphere, Victoria tightly brandished her index finger. "Let's have lunch or something. Victory celebration party to celebrate our consecutive victories."
"It's still not noon yet. You'll get fat if you overeat."
"An elementalist who depletes his divine power in battle, won't become fat." Placing her hands on her waist, Victoria puffed her cheeks with a frown.
"So, the nutrients that were supposed to enter your chest were all taken away by your contracted spirit. It's pathetic."
"Eh?" Hearing Tiana's murmur, Victoria was startled, and looked at the spirit of the hell salamander near her feet.
"Hey, Salamander?"
"Grz?"
"Incidentally, are you burning my breast fat?"
"Grr, grr, grr, grrrrr!"
"Ah, hey, wait!"
Salamander shook her head with all her might, and fled at full speed through the corridor.
(Umm, I kind of feel a closeness to the Salamander.)
Kaizo was thinking about such a thing, when suddenly his uniform arm was pulled from behind. Turning around, Nyx looked at Kaizo with her clear purple pupils.
"Kaizo, Nyx is hungry."
"Ahh, Nyx, since you have really done your best, you can eat what you like."
"Okay, Kaizo. Please praise Nyx again."
"You how else."
He made a wry smile as he patted her on the head, and Nyx partially closed her eyes, seemingly feeling good.
"Why are you always so gentle on Nyx?"
