"…Aiya, Bai Qi is sitting in Ariana's car. He was really as brave as a lion.”
Erika avoided Baiqi's questioning gaze with a nonchalant expression.
It was as if he did not want to answer directly.
"Such a strange answer. At least look me in the eye and say it. Thanks to you, I almost lost my life."
"If word gets out that it's a plan, it'll damage your reputation. I just suggested a tour by car, shouldn't you be happy? Ariana is really a straightforward child.”
The two of them continued to walk forward while talking about unimportant things.
Suddenly, they arrived at a spacious place in front of them.
"We're here. This is our competition venue. It was the site where Emperor Augustus once built his palace.”
Usually, when talking about palaces, one would think of magnificent city walls. However, this was an incomplete, huge, slender wall.
Although some of them were still there, most of them had turned into columns of fallen stones.
Surrounded by them was a green open space. There were three guests waiting there.
The first was the two old men.
The commanders of " Old Lady " and " She-wolf " that Erika mentioned should be them.
Then, it was a young man. If he was not wrong, it should be the Purple Knight of " City of Yuri ".
By the way, they belonged to a knight order, which was a secret society.
In the countries along the Mediterranean Sea, the Temple Knights of the Middle Ages seemed to exist as an association.
"Nice to meet you, Shiki Krushanagi. It's an honor to see you."
Bai Qi lowered his head and responded to the Purple Knight who greeted him as usual.
"I'm Bai Qi. Although he had an unbelievable physique, he wasn't someone that everyone would be afraid of. Please treat me as an ordinary person."
"…You're too humble. Just what you're saying now proves that you're not an ordinary person, right? That kind of Italian was not something that ordinary people could learn.”
"That's right. That was the " Language of a Thousand ", a secret that only masters who had studied magic for many years and realized the profound meaning of the words could master. It's really rare for you to be able to use it so freely at your age.”
The two old men said.
After Baiqi became Campione, he rarely felt that it was difficult to communicate with foreigners. As long as they spent three days together, they would naturally be able to hear each other's words and become able to talk.
Although he thought that it was a convenient ability for no reason, there was a reason for it…
After a moment of silence, Erika said loudly.
"Come on, since the actors are all gathered, let's begin. Can I ask the Purple Knight to be my witness?”
"Alright, Scarlet Demon. Elders, please leave. It was best to keep a distance between Campione and the Grand Knight of the Red Copper Black Cross.”
After hearing the Purple Knight's advice, the elders nodded.
After that, the two of them suddenly disappeared. In an instant, there was no trace.
"It really disappeared! Truly amazing."
"Now is not the time to admire that kind of technology, right? They only concealed themselves and left this place to watch. This is just a stage for the two of us.”
Erika moved about five meters away from the shocked Bai Qi.
At this moment, the Purple Knight announced loudly.
"Let's begin!"
"In that case, I wish the two of you a prosperous martial arts fate. -- Begin!"
Bai Qi, who had no fighting spirit, could only helplessly turn to look at Erika.
When she arrived at this place, she changed her clothes again.
It wasn't fancy clothes, but a simple long-sleeved shirt and slender black pants. It was very suitable for moving around. She was wearing a red scarf.
This red and black striped cloth was called Badira by Elektra.
In the past, he boasted that only Grand Knights were allowed to wear red and black.
" The Steel Lion and the Lion Heart King, your ancestor-please listen to the oath of the knight, Erika Brauntry!”
At this moment, Erika began to chant an ominous phrase and called out her commonly used weapon.
It was as clear and loud as a song sung by Hong.
It was said that what they called incantations and spirits were skills that controlled the power of curses.
"I am the successor of the Fierce Horn Flute, the descendant of the black warrior. My heart will not yield, and my sword will not break. Lionheart, the essence of the struggle is now in my hands.”
The sword appeared.
A long sword suddenly appeared in her empty right hand.
"It's time for the duel, Reinhardt!”
Ricca loved swords, and Reinhardt was a long sword with a small blade.
Although it had become a steel sword, it was very thin and long. It seemed to be quite soft when waved. The clear light and the blade perfectly combined, making it look like a beautiful sword.
However, Bai Qi knew that this sword was a demonic sword that could even cut steel into two.
Suddenly, she shortened the distance.
"Hey, wait a minute!"
Reinhardt stabbed towards Bai Qi's chest like a bolt of lightning.
He quickly dodged to the side and finally avoided it.
However, she didn't take back her sword. She just slashed horizontally and chased after Bai Qi.
The terror of death gripped Bai Qi's back tightly.
From stabbing to slashing, it was a perfect series of movements.
He had completely predicted Bai Qi's movements and had launched a series of attacks.
"Are you really planning to kill me?？He suddenly attacked seriously."
"This is a duel, of course it's serious.”
"No! If he was accidentally slashed, he would definitely die. Didn't you cut through the concrete last time? My body will be cut into pieces like tofu!”
"Tofu is a processed soybean food, right? It did not matter, Baiqi was much stronger. Well, wasn't he still alive when he was cut by Minister salvatore's magic sword? This is proof of extraordinary vitality. Even if I cut it, there's no need to care.”
"…You only said that you wanted to duel, right? You didn't say that you wanted to test it out, right?”
"How should I put it? It's just that I don't want to miss this rare opportunity.”
Swoosh.
Elektra waved her arms, and Reinhardt bent his body like a whip and attacked Bai Qi's neck, the carotid artery.
It didn't feel like a natural attack at all. Moreover, it was extremely fast.
Bai Qi could not see it clearly.
He shook his head based on his senses and finally avoided the slash.
"As expected of someone…very few people can dodge three of my sword strikes, ah, because Bai Qi is only half human, so there's nothing unbelievable about it.”
"You're always talking about your lover and whatnot, but you're slashing at me without caring. I find it unbelievable!”
"It just so happens that people who love each other are rivals. It's not a joke. Besides, I don't intend to kill you. However, there might be an accident.”
Holding her sword elegantly, Elektra moved her eyes that were as sweet as poisonous flowers.
It was so enchanting that it made people fascinated.
"It's enough for two people to flirt. Don't go too far. Although he understood that the two of them would feel sorry for each other when they met again, this was a sacred place for a duel.”
"If this looks like flirting, then your eyes are either two holes or glass balls!”
Baiqi shouted in shock at the Purple Knight's reprimand.
Including Erica, they were a bunch of people who treated life and death as a game.
"Is that so? Let's save the fun of dating for later. Now is the time to show off your strength, Bai Qi.”
Other than his family, very few people would directly call him by his name.
Besides, there was only one person in the world who called this name with such sweetness, determination, and pride.
The problem was that while he was calling out his name, he did not hesitate to stab at him with his sword.
" Slash!" Erika slashed three times in one breath.
First, he used the monastic robe to slash downwards. Then, he used the reverse monastic robe to lift his sword upwards. Finally, he used Bai Qi's head as his target to slash downwards.
If they were hit by the saber, they would die on the spot.
Bai Qi barely managed to dodge, twisting his body and taking a step back.
"You can't determine victory by running away. First of all, I'll be bored."
"Erm, Elektra knows about that, right? My powers are all very strange and I can't use them well. It was difficult to show mercy and could not be used rashly!”
"You're still as calm as ever…In that case, I'll use something more dangerous than a sword to pursue them. If you don't want to lose, then fight seriously.”
Erika turned her body slightly and stepped on the city wall of the ruins left by the emperor.
"Fly, boots of Hermes!”
Along with a short incantation, tap, tap, he ran briskly on the wall.
They climbed up the almost vertical wall. Because the use of magic could make the body lighter, the body could make superhuman movements.
" Reinhardt, grant the Steel Lion a mission. Tearing, piercing, biting! Defeat, annihilate, victory! I entrust you to this battlefield."
Erika caressed the blade of her sword tenderly and kissed it gently.
Then, he threw it.
The target was the grassland where the guard hall was located.
"…What are you trying to do this time?"
Looking at the sword five meters away, Baiqi felt strange. If she was going to pierce him, she wouldn't have dropped it from this distance.
Sure enough, changes occurred.
The sword stabbed into the ground began to transform and expand.
The silver steel expanded and transformed into a statue that looked like a lion.
Not only was it transforming, it was also continuously enlarging.
…This was really unexpected. I thought it was just a statue. The silver lion let out a low growl as it turned its head and looked down at the ground. The focus of its gaze was on Bai Qi. It was a living lion.
"Are you planning to use this thing to attack me?”
Bai Qi was stunned as he raised his head to look at the silver lion.
The lion's head was as tall as the second floor of an ordinary building.
If it was a large bus or truck, they might be able to resist it. However, compared to the 179cm and 64kg Bai Qi, the difference was too great.
The huge lion raised its front leg and knocked down.
With Bai Qi's head as the target, he moved at a terrifying speed.
Bai Qi immediately dodged.
The ground that he had been standing on a second ago was dug open and destroyed by the sharp claws with overwhelming force.
The lion chased after Bai Qi, who was running away in a hurry.
A lightning-like forefoot strike, a sword-like strike with fangs and claws. Sometimes, they would charge at each other like they were playing, like small animals chasing after their targets.
"The King doesn't seem to be interested in this duel."
The comment next to Erika was " Purple Knight ".
It was unknown when he had used magic to climb up the city wall.
"If that's the case, I don't think it's possible to prove that power. He was just running around. Ah, ah, that look was completely worthless.”
To the tall young man who was commenting, Erika showed him a calm smile.
"I'm afraid that's what happened. He was not a warlike person…But this is really just the first time."
"That Campione. He fought with God as an opponent, won, and usurped supreme authority. No matter what he said, he probably didn't really hate fighting. All the Campiones were like this. Shiki Krassanagi was a child with a talent for fighting, and he was the winner among the winners.”
"Oh…So, he actually wanted to escape.“
The Purple Knight looked down with suspicion.
Looking at the young man who was running around pitifully, Erika said.
"It'll be over soon. He won't be able to escape anymore. -- Have you seen the records of the Sage Council about Baiqi?”
"I've seen it once. However, how much of that was correct was rather suspicious.”
"I believe that it is about 60%. There should be no problem with the credibility. I think we should investigate it properly.”
