148 – White Dragon Hunter 8

The White Dragon Princess begins to release a tremendous amount of life.

In response, Ophelia also expressed her hostility toward her opponent by emitting magical energy.

The existence that has always been regarded as the greatest danger to her master, and the biggest reason why she has devoted all her strength to honing her swordsmanship and magic until this moment.

To Ophelia, the White Dragon Princess was such an existence, and now he was trying to collide with him with all his might.

“Is this the third time with you? Come to think of it, this is also a pretty tough relationship, isn’t it?”

“… ”

Aside from her tremendous life, Princess Elios talks pleasantly as if meeting a good friend.

To this, Ophelia did not answer anything, just stared at the woman in front of her eyes.

“I’ve been dealing with a lot of people so far… but you’re definitely an interesting guy. In some ways, more than that guy in the back. how is it? That man refused, but he’s willing to lend a hand if you like, right?”

-Clap!-

In response to those words, Ophelia showed the momentum to run towards Elios at any moment.

In response, Ellios let out a small sigh, filled with regret.

“Haa.. well, I can’t betray the person I love, not someone else. Oh, then, would it be a little different if I killed that man right here? I don’t know if that would be quite fun either. A female warrior who couldn’t protect the man she loved… like the main character of a tragedy…”

-visor!-

The next moment, Ophelia swung her sword before Elios could finish his words.

At the same time as he defended the blow, which contained considerable emotion, the light of composure on Elios’ face disappeared a little.

‘What, what… It’s only been a little over a year since then…’

An attack with more magic and power than expected that comes flying as a result of light provocation.

At this, the White Dragon Princess began to feel a little embarrassed.

Originally, I was going to play with it moderately like before, but I was going to get rid of it. The current situation was not going the way she expected.

More than she could have imagined…

This human woman named Ophelia had become too strong.

-Kwaguawang!-

Ophelia wields a greatsword with terrifying power.

It was a simple attack method that only used condensation and body reinforcement, not special magic, but it far surpassed the power of quite a few explosive magic.

‘This guy. It’s not a joke, it’s really strong. The crude feeling is still there, but if you look at the pure force, it’s even better than that Andersen!’

The tremendous shock felt every time the sword collided.

This, for the first time, gave Elios a sense of being pushed out of power.

‘Is this me… being pushed? To a human who has only lived a little more than 20 years, this me?’

I knew long ago that Ophelia’s talent was by no means ordinary.

That’s why Elios kept her alive even though he was able to kill her enough earlier.

Like Andersen, with the expectation that there will be another existence that he can beat with all his might.

However, at this moment, Elios finally began to realize that his thoughts were a huge mistake.

It took Andersen 13 years to catch up with her.

Even though he was a man who had already held the title of the strongest in the Holy Empire, that amount of time was wasted.

But..

About three years ago, when I first met this woman named Ophelia at Benessa, her skills were… honestly, even lower than those of the elite soldiers under her command, let alone Andersen.

It’s just that she has overwhelming skills compared to people of the same age, and furthermore, she has a glimpse of the fact that she has an unusual talent through her appearance of defeating herself by using tricks.

In fact, when she faced off again in Hungary, she was growing quite quickly, but that much was a bit monotonous for a person who is presumed to have learned magic several years ago.

From that point of view, the growth rate of Ophelia, judged by Elios, is such that it will take at least 10 years for it to become roughly similar to Andersen’s.

But. In that regard, she had already made some great mistakes.

One is that, when Ophelia first joined at Benet, she had only learned her magical powers for a few weeks.

The reference point was different from what Elios had made his judgment in the first place.

And another thing… In the first battle, Ophelia was in a situation where she did her best even though it was a simple battle.

While estimating Ophelia’s skills, Elios judged that she had been hiding her skills to some extent in Benetsa and had done her best in Hungary.

Even that level was a great level, slightly faster than Andersen, but the gap from the first meeting was so great that he assumed that it would take a considerable amount of time to catch up with him.

However, now, Ophelia broke her expectations beautifully, and was even pushing Elios by unleashing an enormous attack.

“Kuk!”

-bang!-

As much as he uses a greatsword, his speed is slightly slower than Elios, who attacks quickly using dual swords.

However, even so, the heavy blow contained in each shot made it difficult to defend.

At the same time, when Elios tries to attack, Ophelia uses the greatsword as a shield and quickly defends it.

Seeing her swordsmanship, which was based on her superior strength and attacking and defending at the same time, Elios began to feel bewilderment and even a little admiration.

‘Awesome… This guy is truly a genius. I don’t think it’s been that long since I’ve used a greatsword, but I’ve already mastered the best swordsmanship for myself and wielded it freely.’

Depending on what you think, it’s a situation where it’s regrettable that you didn’t kill it earlier.

However, Elios was rather happy about this.

For her, Ophelia’s remarkable growth…

It was because it felt as if a play that would only be released in 10 years was being played right in front of her eyes.

-Pajijijik!!!!-

An immense shock felt between the greatsword and her twin swords.

A smile filled with joy gradually began to bloom at the corners of Elios’ mouth at the thrilling sensation that made his fur stand on end.

‘Ahh… This… it’s fun. really… It’s so much fun!’

Except for Andersen, she had been feeling quite bored in battle because she had always been fighting to win.

Although he was seriously working for the national interest, it was only part of his job.

It didn’t give me any pleasure or anything.

It was because she was already too strong to feel any distinct fun in battle.

And for the White Dragon Princess…

The risky yet fierce blood battle that took place while feeling the risk of life like now was approaching with a hot yet passionate pleasure like a flame.

‘yes! a little stronger! a little faster! Good! very good! that momentum! that power! wanted this! I’ve always wanted to meet someone like this!’

A person who can embarrass her more than Andersen and at the same time fight her on an equal footing.

Just like that, the fact that the person he wanted to appear at least one day was right in front of his eyes like this, and Elios began to be seized with joy that seemed like he would fly away just by itself.

*

‘We win this time. certainly!’

Ophelia continuously unleashes powerful blows while looking at the opponent in front of her eyes.

As there was a risk that her defeat would soon lead to the death of her beloved master, she could not back down even an inch.

Fortunately, as she had been aware of to some extent through her battle with Andersen, and as her owner had told her, unlike in the past, there was almost no difference in fighting power between herself and the White Dragon Princess.

In addition, it was Ophelia who had already clearly observed the battle between the White Dragon Princess and Andersen before coming here.

I was able to prepare to some extent because I had learned what kind of magic the opponent used and how they wielded the sword.

In particular, Ophelia was able to understand the principle of magic and the timing of its activation just by looking at it, so this superiority in information was approaching as a considerable advantage.

at that time..

“Chit!”

The next moment, as soon as the thing he had been paying attention to came into view, Ophelia quickly pulled back.

By the way..

‘This… might be hard to avoid even knowing it.’

Dozens of blue magic circles appeared before her eyes.

Ophelia automatically frowned as she saw it, which gave the impression that avoidance was almost impossible, while Elios’ mouth was filled with an ecstatic smile.

And then… the lights started pouring out from the blue magic circles in front of me at the same time.

Brilliant and beautiful lights of death that evaporate everything…
