The hero Orion and Fana faced each other in the ring.
“…… Even if I’m up against a girl, I go seriously.”
“Mm, that’s what I want.”
Both of them raised their weapons. Fana uses her usual dual sword, while Orion is using the legendary sword once used by the former hero, Leon.
“Fana’s mithril sword is made by me. It’s no match for the hero’s orichalcum sword so there’s no need to worry about the weapon being destroyed.”
Any ordinary weapon would have been easily destroyed by the hero’s sword. Even though they are free to use whatever equipment they wanted, it still felt a bit unfair.
As I was thinking about this, the signal to start sounded.
The two of them start to move without a moment’s hesitation.
“Ooooh! They both started moving right away…! This is going to be an intense fight right off the bat!”
As predicted by the commentator, the match between Orion and Fana is a fierce battle from the start. As they run around the ring, swords clash against each other again and again. Ordinary spectators will probably not even be able to follow their movements.
“W-what a battle! They’re flying from side to side, it’s hard to follow them with my eyes…! I can’t even see their sword movements! …All I can hear is the tremendous sound of swords clashing!”
Fana is a swordsman with a knack for agile movements, and it seems that Orion is no less impressive.
“The hero’s armor looks quite heavy.”
“No, it should be much lighter than it looks. If you use orichalcum, even if it’s extremely thin, it will provide more than enough defensive power. It also seems to have a special effect that increases agility.”
Fana, who wields dual swords, was superior in terms of the number of attacks. Deciding that he couldn’t defend against them with just one sword, Orion blocked them directly with his armor.
“That’s a trick only possible with armor made of Orichalcum. Oh, Fana used magic.”
Wind covered Fana’s body. That should have made her even more agile.
“She’s getting serious now. She must have decided she has to act seriously to win.”
In the next moment, at nearly twice the speed of the previous one, Fana sprinted across the ring.
“F-Fana-shi has completely disappeared!? No, no, we can clearly hear the sound of her running! Then…. s-she is moving so fast that we can’t seem to catch it……! Prince Orion, how will you respond to this?!?”
Orion is clearly not able to keep up with Fana’s movements. He turned around a split second later as Fana lunged at him from behind.
Gakyiiiiiiin!
“Kuu….…”
He managed to block Fana’s sword at the last moment, but it was just luck. It probably wouldn’t happen that many times.
Fana approached from a blind spot again, but this time, he couldn’t react at all.
Bzzzt, bzzzt, bzzzzzt!!
“~~~~!?”
However, for some reason, it was Fana who was knocked off at the same time as the attack.
“Fana-shi, who seemed to have the upper hand, has been flipped over onto the ring! What on earth happened here!? Ooh, it looks like Prince Orion’s body is glowing…?”
A mysterious light covers Orion’s body.
—It’s lightning.
“By wrapping his body in lightning, rather than blocking the attack, he ended up causing a damage instead. Come to think of it, Hero Leon was also good at lightning magic.”
Caught by a sudden lightning strike, Fana, who had been in a state of mild paralysis, stood up.
“……That was paralyzing.”
“The lightning I control also has the power to paralyze the opponent into a state of abnormality.”
“Very troublesome.”
“You’re too fast. Honestly, I would have been in danger without this magic.”
“I can’t get close to you easily huh.”
“That’s a given. Don’t worry, from here on, I’ll be the one to approach you.”
Saying that, Orion attacks Fana.
Since a single touch would make her a victim of the lightning, paralyzing her, Fana had no choice but to keep her distance.
“Of course, I can attack an opponent from a distance too!”
A lightning strike fired by Orion struck Fana.
