ARCHDEUS

LIBERATION OF OTILIA(3)

"Surge! This will be our fight! And no one to disturb!"

Peter shouted with confidence.

Coltildy followed that. The duel between them would be much better because in addition to reducing the casualties, this would also show the ability of who deserved to be the ruler of the county.

Peter and Clotildy face each other in the middle of a burning battlefield.

Both of them showed hostile looks. Now the two brothers will bet each other all things to defeat each other.

"This time I'm really gonna get rid of you!" shouted Peter.

The two run into each other. He pulled the sword out of its sheath.

Booms!

The duel was inevitable. Both of them were eques, magic warrior users.

Swings of sword after sword kept on clashing.

Sparks of sparks between the sword blades that emitted a cold temperature like ice continued to scatter.

When the two simultaneously took a step back, they looked at each other.

That sword!

Peter increasingly showed his displeasure after seeing the Sword of Frost Dragon which was a symbol of the greatness of the ruler of Otilia County was now on Clotildy.

"The sword is mine!"

Peter attacked Clotildy.

Based on brute strength, Peter was actually much stronger than Clotildy in various aspects whether it was sword ability or ability to master magic. But his fate did not support him at all as a candidate for the county lord.

Clotildy slowly pressed on. He never doubted that his brother would be so strong but he never expected their difference in strength to be this strong.

Shit, I can't lose here!

This was not only regarding his rights as the successor of the dynastic head but also the future of the entire county would depend greatly on this duel.

Slowly, Clotildy was squeezed backwards.

If it continues like this ....

"[Frozen Field]!"

A cold gust suddenly exploded with itself as its center.

Peter who attacked Clotildy crashed and was hit by a destructive attack from the skill.

A moment later, their dueling arena turned into a full layer of ice.

[Frozen Field] is equivalent to a level 5 spell. But because Clotildy has a limit in using the skill of the Sword of Frost Dragon even though it only uses it once, where it is very drained. He would most likely not be able to use that skill anymore right now.

"Damn!"

Peter fell down due to the throwing of the skill back to his feet.

Some parts of his body were injured and buried by thin ice grains.

He can also feel his body becoming difficult to move. This was the passive skill effect of the Sword of Frost Dragon, [Frost Blood].

Although Clotildy also had trouble moving her body because she almost ran out of mana, but her condition was much better than Peter.

Clotildy then counterattacked.

He drew his sword.

But just before the blade hit Peter, a figure with full black armor appeared and caught the sword easily.

The Tempest Lady, leader of the Wyvern Rider.

Clotildy could not take her sword out of the man's grip.

"!"

Not having time to dodge, Clotildy was hit by a kick from the Tempest Lady who hit her stomach.

Although he had worn armor but the kick he could still feel even to the heart.

Clotildy fell down.

"Miss!"

The Otilia soldiers rushed to attack the tempest lady. Yet with just her palm, the woman threw everyone into a strange shockwave.

He now pulled out his sword filled with gloomy air and pointed the sword at Clotildy.

Clotildy couldn't breathe. The kick he received seemed to destroy all his internal organs. It seemed like the Tempest Lady was using magic power to do so.

"In the end, we'll just get here" said Tempest Lady.

Booms!

An unknown object fell not far from them. It's like a small meteor falling to the earth that creates a gaping hole and thick billowing smoke.

A bright blue flame raged around the place and from the billowing smoke, a man with a large body and his giant sword appeared.

He was Barnard, the leader of the adventurers.

"You know, it's rude to interrupt a duel between brothers" Barnard said.

The two men fought swords. Yet with just a little interaction the two can realize that their respective strengths are above average.

"It looks like we can't fight here,. What if we went a little further" Barnard said.

"really? What if I refuse?" said the woman.

"Then maybe I won't accidentally kill your master."

Barnard retaliated by seeing Peter hiding behind the full-armored woman. It was like a lion staring at his prey.

***

Barnard managed to separate the Tempest Lady from the two brothers. Now he is dueling with this full-armor woman.

The two now duel outside the fort. As for Clotildy and Peter, it will be handed over to their respective armies.

Barnard uses his sword, the Sword of Panthera. This was the first time he had used this weapon on the battlefields of Otilia.

While his opponent mashed out a sword full of dark energy.

The kling! The kling! The kling!

The two clashed sword techniques. The Barnard Sword which was a single greatsword had attacks that tended to be slow but had great destructive power.

Meanwhile the Tempest Lady had a much more agile attack.

"This person is different from the others" Vyn said.

"Kau benar," balas Barnard.

Vyn was currently inside the Sword of Panthera.

"Maybe we have to be more serious" Barnard said.

The blue flames on Barnard's Sword were now blazing even greater.

Tempest Lady seemed to know something was wrong.

His opponent's strength was now increasing exponentially.

Then Barnard ran and drew his sword.

The attack was briefly held by Tempest Lady.

The blue flames and dark smoke from the two different sword blades clashed against each other.

But little by little, the blue flames continued to soar and devoured the entire black smoke belonging to the opponent's sword.

"[Space Lag]!"

The Tempest Lady quickly jumped using a spell to dodge before her sword was devoured by Barnard's blue flames.

"Damn!"

Tempest Lady shouted furiously.

Rushing he immediately jumped high into the sky.

"What's he thinking?" ask Barnard.

"No! He called his wyvern, "reply Vyn.

Before the two of them acted, the Lady Tempest Arm was seen in the clasp by a giant claw. Before long, a huge shadow appeared and pierced through the clouds.

This is wyvern. But not only one, it turns out there is another wyvern but has its own rider.

The Tempest Lady jumped up and was directly on her wyvern control rope.

"We'll both attack him."

"Good!"

Other Wyvern riders then follow the orders of the chairman. He was actually quite surprised because this was the first time his chairman had ordered to gang up on someone.

The two wyvern riders swooped down from the high sky straight towards Barnard.

"So he brought help."

Barnard smiled mockingly.

"Then be good, take this."

From his sword, a blue light appeared and merged with his blue flame. Then Barnard pointed his sword at the two wyverns.

From his sword, it was as if a blue radiance had suddenly appeared.

It's an extremely fast attack but the Tempest Lady can still dodge it.

But unfortunately his men did not have time to maneuver. He was hit by the attack and either his body or his wyvern turned to ashes.

What attack is it?!  it's a little weak from my [Wyvern's Judgment] skill.

Tempest Lady was shocked to see the attack just now.

What he was thinking was not wrong, Barnard's attack just now was an attack that could be matched with level 6 magic.

"Vyn, it's your turn!"

Before the Tempest Lady recovered from her shock, Vyn came out of Barnard's Sword of Panthera.

Her spirit body emitted an overwhelming amount of mana and turned into a blue fireball that instantly shot towards the Tempest Lady.

At first the Tempest Lady could not see Vyn's form but when the spirit turned into a fireball, she could see clearly.

He tried to avoid. But strangely the fireball can change the direction of its glide as if following.

As the distance between him and the blue fireball grew smaller, the fireball suddenly grew even more smoldering and as if creating a giant net that caught the Tempest Lady and wyvern-ya.

Both the wyvern and the rider are equally trapped in a blue flame. They are burning in the sky.

The Tempest Lady attempted to use water element magic to extinguish it but the fire was not extinguished at all.

"[Winds Breath]! Shit, why didn't it go out too!?"

He screamed in panic. Even after using [Winds Breath] which was a tier 5 magic capable of creating a whirlwind also did not cause the fire to go out.

This blue flame was no ordinary fire. This is Vyn's fire whose fuel is his own mana so it doesn't go out just because of the water.

He realized that he was also unable to use many magic spells at the moment especially due to the effect of his battle with the last countess then still not fully recovered. Even his mana was still not well filled after using [Wyvern's Judgment].

In vulnerable moments like this, he instead met a very strong opponent.

In the end he and his wyvern fell to the ground and continued to torment until he died burned to charcoal.

"It's a shame we can't take the armor" Barnard said.

Barnard was a little regretful because it seemed Vyn was overdoing it. If he was a little soft, then perhaps his opponent's armor could be a valuable looting item. Unfortunately the magic item was also crushed into charcoal like its owner.

After the fight was over, he returned to the war arena.

There he no longer finds a duel between Clotildy and Peter.

Barnard asked a soldier.

"My Lady was just taken away to the back row for help."

Sure enough, far from the front lines of the war, precisely in the treatment tent, Clotildy was lying limp and was currently being treated by Atlya.

"What's going on?" ask Barnard.

"My Lady was hit by an attack that left her internal organs injured. Fortunately, he was quickly brought here."

Instead of Alya, the one who answered was Lilac. This possibility was an attack from the Lady Tempest kick that contained mana power.

Besides, it looks like one more person was injured.

"What happened to you?"

Barnard asked Joan who was currently injured in the arm .

"He just brushed off the attack of a man named Peter to save Miss Clotildy," Lilac replied.

After Barnard and Tempest Lady left, the duel between Clotildy and Peter still continued. Unfortunately Clotildy still sat with the pain of a kick from the Tempest Lady.

Peter did not give up that opportunity. He was about to cut off his sister's neck but Joan quickly thwarted him.

Perhaps according to Peter the duel between him and his sister must continue but according to Clotildy the duel has failed because of the presence of strangers who interfere.

"Then you better stay here and protect My Lady. I'll be in the front row" said Barnard.

Surprisingly not long after Barnard said that, Victor from the logistics department came up to them and immediately shouted.

"Prince's Coming! Prince's Coming! The prince ordered to stop the war!"
