Ok guys sorry for taking so long but I just couldn't write.I was sick and then I still had to go to school because of tests and then I just wasn't in the mood to write anyway enjoy.
Arius POV~~~~~~~~~~
Then Let us begin ...
4...
3....
2....
1...
Fight.
As soon as we heard that both of us got our stance ready and she was the first to start the charge.
As soon as she got close to me she did a horizontal slash that only hit my afterimage while i jumped back 5 meters and while I was in the air I used a skill which i called Wind Wall(not very original i know) which formed a small wind wall which can be used as a jumping wall(like parkour ) and thrusted myself at her with my swords in my hands .
She seemed to have realized my intentions by now and prepared herself to evad.... no she is actually taking it head-on...Don't tell me! it's a trap , but it's too late to think of that now as I was now only half a meter away from her.
Adriana POV~~~~~~~~~
Fight.
As soon as I hear that i prepared my stance and charged at Arius and did a horizontal slash at him but all I hit was an afterimage and he jumped back while preparing to make a move. As he came charging at me I was prepared to take the hit head-on as I have a very high defense i'm confident that I'll parry his attack and then use the opening in order to finish this.
As our blade collided and I used my sword to parry his swords he did and X slash which pushed me back 2 meters . I think he used some wind and strengthening magic to push me back like this but even with that he still didn't create and opening.
Arius POV~~~~~~
After I managed to push her back I started preparing my magic for a fire and lightning barrage so that i could get past that defence of her.It took all my physical power and with the help of wind and strengthening magic just to push her 2 meters but thanks to my high stamina this wouldn't hinder me.
After 2 minutes of fighting with her which proved extremely difficult because she seemed to have a better defence than me but an equal attack my only advantage being speed i was almost done preparing the 20 attack spells and was in full battle mode with my dual swords emitting a read and black glow while her sword was emitting a strange white aura which seemed to weaken me a bit but not too much.
Sabrath POV~~~~
Hmm these kids aren't so bad.My son and the Hero Adrianna are currently having a fight to determine whether or not Adrianna is worthy of joining us and for me to gauge Arius's power. It seems that Arius is preparing to end this as I can sense a lot of mana pouring from him for some pretty strong attacks but a strange mana is also coming from Adriana but it doesn't seem to be offensive as I can tell is Holy mana a mana which weakens us higher demons and could kill smaller demonic beasts or lower ranked demons...
The other men also noticed the gathering of both combatants mana and were scared of them as Holy mana damage takes a lot to heal and could kill a part of them at the power this girl shows and it's very powerful and because the magic that Arius gathers is extremely strong and could kill some of them even if they have a resistance to that element.
Arius POV~~~~~
As i finished preparing the large number of spells i almost whispered.
*Melded magic : Fires of hell and Greater Lighting:Scorching Hell* Melded magic is the usage of 2 kinds of spells at the same time a feat wich very few are capable but i'm only able to use them for specific spells with specific elements. like wind and fire lighting and fire wind and water, lightining and water but I can't use it for more complicated magic atacks or elements that don't suit eachother like fire and water or magma and ice( yes by the magic system in this world magma and ice are considered separated elements ).This Magic is usually a small AOE magic attack in which I use the fire and lightning to scorch an area of 10 meters but it can be used as a 1 target attack skill if i concentrate all the lightining rays and fire into 1 target, in our case the soon to be roasted hero over there.
After that she shouted the skills name
*Melded MAGIC :Greater constitution and Holy aura :Holy Constitution*
Adrianna POV~~~~~~~
*Melded MAGIC :Greater constitution and Holy aura :Holy Constitution* Molded magic is extremely useful even if it isn't molded magic in the real sense. It's just using 2 types of spell with a specific purpose at once. My melded magic is a strengthening magic which fills every cells in my body with holy magic and strengthens it and gives me a better deffence and then adds to that effect the power of greater constitution wich further strengthens my body to it's limits and increases all of my 5 senses. It's extremely useful as it also boosts my magic defence which allows me to take most sage and some great sage ranked atacks head -on.
As soon as i shouted he launched his attack which pushed me back a lot while I could fill all of my body being fried but an advantage of Holy constitution is that it also increases the regeneration speed to extremes but drains my stamina a lot .I didn't die but I could fill my stamina was near It's end while I could hardly stay on my feet.
Stolen story; please report.
Arius POV~~~
*Wha...* She just took head-on a sage rank spell with the power of a Great Sage rank spell and can still stand and I could see her wounds slowly healing even if she could hardly stay her ground .I almost felt pity for her but the fight is still on so I again charged at her.
Just as I was 60 cm away from her , father suddenly stoped my sword with his huge 2 handed black sword. No i doubt it could even be called a sword as he buried it i it in the ground which sent a large shock around the arena.His sword was around 1.9m long and seemed to have gone trough more battles than the number of soldiers watching us. http://the-pain.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/10d_two-hand-sword.jpg (here is how it looks like just imagine it a bit worn out and with a lot of scratches)
*That is enough Arius. She proved her strength.* That was a relief to hear as I didn't want to continue either but the rule in duels is that the fight continues until the duel is over which means that either one of the combatants is dead or can't fight anymore or the referee in our case my dad decides that the fight is over.She put a good fight and I'd say she is as strong if not stronger than Kana.
*Ok father.You're pretty good young miss* Even if I said that i didn't use all of my power as I only limited myself at strengthening magic and a single attack magic.If I wanted i could've just burn the entire camp and anyone weaker than Kana would die or would be mortally wounded and even her wouldn't be able to fight back anymore. With her high defence I assume i would need 2 such attacks to kill her but unfortunately none of those spells can be toned down so even if I won more than 9/10's of the camp would be dead so that's not good.
*Uff...* As she said that she fell down apparently she was really tired after my attack and the healing of her wounds seemed to drain her stamina.
~Sabrath POV~~~~~
After I stoped the fight my son just said ok and the little miss fell asleep.
*I guess she was a a walking corpse when she was standing. Well it doesn't matter you passed miss* Even if she couldn't hear me I felt that she deserved to hear it. After she took that attack head-on I decided that it was enough to gauge her strength even if I couldn't see Arius going all out as he was holding back but It can't be helped , maybe next time or when were on a battlefield.
*Sigh I guess is time to take you to your tent to rest you deserved it young lady*.
*Hahaha even full with blood you can still sleep that well even if it's yours. That healing abality it's really something weird .I guess you aren't called the crimson heroine for nothing*
As I said that to myself more than to her I headed back to her tent and placed her on the bed , told some female soldiers to prepare her an outfit to change herself in when she wakes up and I left to do my own duties.
Author note and comments ~~~~ Regarding Osborn's comment "Btw, the synopsys you wrote is total bullsh*t. There’s nothing of “Shinka No Mi”, “Shield Hero”, “Re:Monster”, “Suterata no Yuusha no Eyuutan”, “Mushoku Tensei” or “Arifureta” in your story. I feel cheated, cause that’s the main reason I read beyond chapter 1, hoping the good stuf would start soon. But that never came."
It does have a connection with them and I'll simply show you now so that you guys don't think i'm saying aberrations.
First Re:Monster : Reincarnated as a monster (clasic and simple)
Second :Arifureta and Suterata No Yuusha no Eyuutan : Dark story with a hero summoning and a hero (in our case heroine killing other heroes and that doesn't care about anything but it's own safety and revenge maybe .... (again simple as fuck)
Third: Shield Hero : the hero isn't liked by the king of the country and there will be other elements that will follow. This novel will be 3 volumes long with the first volume being the prologue and secondand thirs will have each more than 25 chapters so you'll have to wait + Trash king.
Fourth :Mushoku Tensei. Reincarnated from another planet and meets someone summoned from the very same world + dies while saving someone and meets a person related to the cause of death in the previous world ( you just need to pay attention to the entire novel)+ OP in the new world.
Fifth :Shinka No Mi... Look at the stats system in Shinka no Mi and then look at the descrption of Arius(gender to be more precise) you'll understand and even If i didn't read past chapter 6 (as it's only translated that far) from what I read from online resume (wich i have no ideea if it's true or not) the heroes there except for the MC which landed in a forest were turned into slaves so that they couldn't rebel and serve the king which is trash.
I hope you enjoyed it and plss Mataneloro don't flip my table again especially when I have food on it...
