“Don’t show me something so worthless!!!”
Lena turned her eyes toward me as if looking at something blinding—
Then, she glared sharply, like a blade cutting through the air.
Letting out a voice dripping with resentment, she kicked off the ground.
The acceleration was so extreme it felt like she had teleported.
Before I knew it, Lena was right in front of me.
But there’s no need to panic.
“Take this!”
I caught her cursed sword with my Meteor Blade.
The sheer force threatened to overwhelm me, but I held my ground.
Digging in with all my strength, I endured.
“Stay away from Fate!”
“Tch.”
Annoyed by Sofia’s counterattack, Lena clicked her tongue.
Still, she knew a careless move would get her killed.
So she pulled back for a moment—
“Eh?”
Then, for some reason, Lena threw her cursed sword.
A move unthinkable in battle—voluntarily discarding her weapon.
Caught off guard, I was a beat too slow to react.
Sofia was the same.
Realizing she couldn’t dodge in time, she stayed put.
She swung her blade up and deflected the incoming cursed sword.
The cursed sword spun through the air—
“Dieeeeeee!!!”
“Wha—?!”
As if predicting this from the start, Lena caught the cursed sword at the perfect spot.
And without missing a beat, she slashed at me.
Throwing the sword, having it deflected, then catching it again—
It was like a circus act.
“Camellia!”
“Mountain Breaker!”
Our techniques collided head-on.
Her unpredictable moves had me at a disadvantage in the opening exchange.
But my attack was stronger.
The clash of blades reached a stalemate.
This time, I won’t let her escape!
I surged forward, hammering her with all my might.
As I pinned her down, Sofia lunged in from the side.
“This is it!”
“Shut up!!!”
Lena held her cursed sword in her right hand.
And in her free left hand, she drew a hidden dagger.
She caught Sofia’s blade with that dagger.
It shattered in a single blow—clearly not a weapon of renown.
But it had served its purpose.
As if that was enough, Lena grabbed several more daggers with her left hand and hurled them.
She’s used to fighting multiple opponents.
Is this the power of the True King Dragon…?
“I’m done holding back… I’ll take it all—everything, everything!!!”
Right now, the battle is leaning in Lena’s favor.
There are two of us…
But Lena’s strength is overwhelming.
On top of that, she’s experienced in fighting multiple foes—
No blind spots.
No openings.
If this keeps up, we’re in trouble.
But…
Even so, Lena looks like she’s suffering.
She should have the upper hand, yet there’s no confidence in her expression.
If anything, she seems to be in agony.
Perhaps…
Perhaps that’s what’s in her heart right now.
