After talking to Riana, Victoria finally decided what she was going to do. But before that there was one thing he had to tell Sei.
He violently kicked the door of the study room to the ground. Sei was surprised, of course, but Victoria didn't care.
"Dad, no. Sei. I will win Battle War for the third time. That's why you better be prepared!!!"
After declaring that, Victoria immediately left and without looking back.
Sei who saw that let out a deep sigh, but he slowly smiled as he did not expect Victoria to go that far.
Since then Victoria has been training harder than ever. He trained with the Holy Knight and various kinds of people with different types of strength.
It was at this moment that the nickname Berserker Princess was in perfect accord with him.
There was a time when he was shocked by all sorts of incidents and people involved with those incidents. He was amazed by the strength they showed, but it was also a real proof that he was still nothing.
He understood that this third time Battle War would be much different from the previous one. He won't win it easily.
But that doesn't mean he'll just give up. He also has dreams just like them. And for the sake of that dream, he would exert everything he had.
Even if it uses a dishonorable way.
At Battle War times Victoria was just waiting for a chance to defeat the enemy. It's arguably an unusual way he does it, but he has to do this. He has no choice.
After defeating Juuno and Franco utilizing their time of exhaustion, Victoria is confronted with a little boy from Shiryuu Academy.
At first glance the boy looks harmless. Unfortunately, that's a big mistake. Of all the participants from Shiryuu Academy, that little girl was the one Victoria was most wary of.
Not wanting to waste any time and let the enemy prepare, Victoria just attacked. Surprisingly, his attacks were easily avoided by circus-like movements.
Victoria quickly analyzed the opponent. From his experience already, many had already managed to dodge the attacks by using body strengthening magic.
Simple, but it's effective. And of course this is quite vulnerable because the magic will be instantly destroyed if it is hit by a Victorian attack even though it is only a scratch. The reason why Merlin easily dodged was his small size.
Arei gave a sign with an eye to help, but Victoria shook her head. That means it's still on the line that Victoria's tackled alone.
But of course Merlin did not keep quiet.
"Mr Princess is very aggressive. Before the fight, how about we have a chat?"
Victoria ignored the conversation and once again attacked. This time also used magic bullets.
Attacks were avoided. And more surprisingly, Victoria's attack suddenly turned around and attacked behind its users.
"..."
Victoria wasn't surprised.
Merlin's Soul Power is Reflection. A special magic with the ability to reverse all attacks that contain magic.
Even so, this power had no effect on physical attacks. That's why Victoria didn't really want to use magic against Merlin. He used magic before just to make sure the information he received turned out to be correct.
"Daughter Victoria, have you ever thought that magic in this world is so simple?"
"Sometimes. But it doesn't matter."
Victoria once again darted like a bullet through Merlin with her spear. This time with a stabbing technique.
Merlin was not so scared and just smiled. If it held back the attack, it would definitely be too late.
But the event that shocked everyone happened. Not only did he manage to dodge, Merlin also managed to survive.
"The "holy element can indeed neutralize all magic, but it cannot neutralize the power that comes from Soul. Especially Souls who use sources other than magic."
Merlin endured Victoria's attack just by using her fingertips so casually.
"Reflect!!"
Victoria's body bounced back hard. He managed to rebalance his body and managed to stop after being dragged 20 meters over.
It was not because of Merlin's strength, but how much power Victoria exerted.
"Daughter, are you okay?"
"I'm fine, Arei. You know how much this is still not."
Arei looked anxious, but she quickly returned as usual.
Victoria looked back at Merlin. He turned the Longinus and shot back forward.
This time Victoria unhesitatingly threw Longinus. Of course the Victoria attack was again reflected. Victoria managed to avoid Longinus. Then use that opportunity to attack Merlin with just a fist.
Merlin prepared with Reflect once more, but Victoria's fist was completely unaffected and eventually Merlin received a punch right in the face and flew back and finally fell in the snow.
"If you think I can only use weapons and magic techniques, you're wrong. "
Seeing that Arei smiled. That's the Victoria princess he knew.
(Ordinary magicians would rely on magic for both their attacks and defenses. Because too often rely on that power, the magician will unconsciously continue to use magic even though using empty-handed techniques)
That was why the attacks of ordinary magicians would still be reflected by Merlin's Soul power. Merlin is the worst opponent for all witches.
(Reflection is troublesome. Moreover, the activation without using magic so that Princess Victoria could not use the power of the sacred element.)
Their powers could be said to be similar, only that Arei knew that Merlin was too naive if Victoria could only use magic.
In this world there was one technique known as Absolute Magic Control. A technique that allowed its users to control the magic energy in their bodies at will.
This technique is known as one of the most difficult to master. Even the user can be counted fingers until now and is said to be one of the techniques mastered by the Paladin.
Merlin's Soul Power might have had a big impact if he had joined the Battle War last year, but it was useless with Victoria now.
Victoria not only trained using magic arm, magic and various other techniques, but also mastered Absolute Magic Control.
Merlin is back.
"Ahaha.it hurts. But you're really cold because it's easy to hit a woman's face. Do you want me not to get married?"
"I don't care about that. After all, when you're in Battle War, you should be ready if your life disappears."
Although every Battle War uses a secure system, it does not mean there is no mistake. There were cases where Battle War took casualties due to trivial problems.
With Doll, Victoria had nothing to fear about the impact she had on her opponent.
And this of course applies to his opponent.
"We should stop playing. I know you haven't used your real power."
"I happen to think the same of you, princess."
Then a burst of magic energy overflowed from the bodies of the two. The two then clash with each other with their punches. Yep. Blows.
Victoria can't use magic against Merlin because it will be reflected. And Merlin can't use magic because it's gonna be wiped out.
Both have no choice. But it's not hard enough to see who's superior.
"Guh!!"
Once again Victoria's attack hit Merlin's head. Then continued with a kick.
"You should use another idea against me. Even though your bare-handed fighting technique is pretty great, but our body sizes are different."
As powerful as Merlin is, his body is smaller than Victoria's. His attack could not reach Victoria and at the same time he had difficulty resisting Victoria's attack.
"You don't want to say that your chest size is bigger than mine, do you?"
"..."
Victoria had no intention of offending the matter of chest size, but seeing Merlin's chest size as flat as a board, Victoria had no choice but to start noticing the matter.
"I guessed it. Big chest is the enemy."
The magic pressure was overflowing from Merlin's body. It was a sign of his anger and determination.
"Hey.hush. You're young and that means you have a great chance."
"Don't talk much cow breast."
Merlin attacked again. And of course Victoria didn't shut up. In his heart he sighed for fighting with a strange reason.
It's just that the size of his chest is not so big that it deserves to be called a cow's chest. Even for him the size of his large chest would only be annoying.
(Wait. Could it be that Sei is a big chest lover?)
I don't know why the end of this he always thought of such a thing.
"Dragon Bite!!"
"Fist Holy!!"
Victoria was startled by Merlin's sudden action using a magic attack, but she quickly erased the magic into nothing.
Then the two hit back. And as the situation repeated itself, Merlin was forced to retreat again.
"Tch!! You deserve to be called a monster more than a princess."
"Arara.thank you. But you should realize there are things in this world that deserve to be called and are not. You're a dirty-mouthed kid."
"I don't care about any of that. If you want to punish me, do it. If you can."
"Don't get cocky first chest board!!"
"!?"
"Ah.. Arei, could it be that I said something that is not worth mentioning?"
Arei just gazed in the other direction as a sign of 'yes'.
Both of them were then startled by the overflowing magic pressure from Merlin. More precisely exploded to make a wave that almost made both of them almost thrown.
Merlin is known as a genius, but he is also known as a man who has almost unlimited magic energy like Laila.
But of all that, she was known as a magician of a unique and special type.
"Show your anger to this world, Fafnir!!!"
The light began to gather into a single point and form a form. It has fangs that can penetrate iron easily. It has claws beyond the sharpness of a sword. The dazzling golden-coloured scales exceeded the best defense of any magician. All of it fused into a dragon figure of 10 meters from head to tail.
Roaaar!!! The dragon roared showing its strength and dominance in battle.
"So that's your magic beast?"
Not to be outdone, Longinus appeared in Victoria's hands. There was no doubt or fear emanated from him despite dealing with one of the dragons in the legends
"That's kind. Unfortunately, as a magician of the sacred element, I don't think Fafnir means much in your eyes because he's the embodiment of magic."
No matter what magic is made of, Victoria will be fearless. It would only be different if the power of Reflection also applied to Fafnir's body.
So far no sign of that power has been found on Fafnir. But that doesn't mean it's not wrong to be vigilant.
"But, have you ever thought what is the difference with ordinary magic beasts with magic beasts that have the names of figures in legends?"
"...What do you mean by Origin Name? I don't think that's worth thinking about."
The question is, if it is like that, why not name the form like the name of a figure in the legend?
Answer's simple. The name magic materialized from the soul of the witch itself. That's why there's no magic name in common.
Of course that raises new questions. What about the same magic name as the figure in the legend?
Is the embodiment of magic really a figure in the legend?
The answer is Yes and No.
"Longinus was known as a weapon capable of killing gods. But can your Longinus really do it?"
"..."
Victoria didn't know because she had never met a god. Especially killing him with Longinus.
"What about Fafnir? Is this magic beast of mine the same figure as the dragon that once subordinated to the Demon King and destroyed a country in one night?"
Fafnir is not a Dragon King, but he is famous for being considered to have the same power as the Dragon King. There is even a legend that says that Fafnir once destroyed the country on the orders of Demon King Shiroyasha.
Only, Fafnir only appeared once and never appeared again until now. But the legend never disappears from the historical record.
"The two of us don't know if our magic embodiment is indeed a figure in the legend."
Merlin smiled.
"But that doesn't mean it doesn't have a reason. ...One of the reasons it's an embodiment of magic we actually have a link to the figure of the owner of the real name."
"!?"
"In other words... "
Suddenly the land glows. The light showed his figure in the form of a giant magic circle formation with Fafnir as the center.
The magic formation was so huge that it made me ask how Merlin made it. But all that doesn't matter now.
Victoria had a bad feeling when she realized all that. He just directly stuck Longinus on the magic circle formation to destroy it or at least disturb it.
But all of that is free.
Arei also did not want to lose and tried to attack Merlin with a long-range magic attack, but all of it was reflected by an invisible wall.
"Stop your efforts. It's free. Weakness of other sacred elements ..the sacred element cannot abolish anything eternal. Avalon Island itself lies at the confluence of seven Dragon Veins. The magic formation we used connected all of that energy to a single piece of magic formation. Princess, can you guess what this magic formation is for?"
"Tch!!"
"Ping Pong!! Using the Link that was on Fafnir, we created a magic formation that allowed us to summon an embodiment of the Origin Name figure."
The light gathered again on Fafnir. His body started to enlarge and his scales started to turn more sturdy and hard. His claws and fangs also turned sharper and threatening.
But of all that, the most visible is the expression of Fafnir who was originally like a doll is now starting to look alive and has a soul of its own.
With a loud roar that echoed throughout the island, the figure of the magic beast Fafnir was reborn into a true figure of Fafnir.
"Include, Cursed Golden Dragon, Fafnir."
Simultaneously, light began to gather at one point in front of Fafnir's mouth. The light was a high magic energy that was converted into a destructive force. An Anti Particle Breath shot out like a huge cannon splitting the land and sky of the Avalon island destroying the land and even the dimensions of space.
"........Isn't this excessive?"
Thanks to Doll's attack of any magnitude will not affect the participants, but seeing the impact of the Fafnir attack, there may be a possibility that Victoria became dust not left.
Unfortunately, everyone knew Victoria was not an easy person to defeat with just such an attack.
Roooarr!!!! Fafnir suddenly roared loudly. Not because he had won, but a cry of agony by a spear piercing his back.
The figure that did that then appeared in the middle of the air so quietly. Even so, the aura that Victoria released was completely different from before.
"....you're finally getting serious? Coincidentally. I'm also."
An announcement was heard as a sign of Victoria's partner, Arei was eliminated in the Battle War.
Then, ..the first one to make a move was Victoria. He kicked up the air and shot towards Fafnir by moving agilely in the air. The technique he was using right now was the one he was emulating from the Kuro technique. And not only that, he had even refined the technique so that Victoria could walk on air.
"Come, Longinus!!"
Receiving his master's call, Longinus flew towards Victoria.
Merlin won't lose. He began to order Fafnir to fight.
"Fafnir, attack!!!"
Fafnir again attacked with a burst of fire towards Victoria. But with a single slash, that fire breath split in two.
Fafnir resisted the attack with a flick of his tail. Longinus and Fafnir's scales clashed to create sparks.
In terms of strength they look balanced, but it is clear who is superior. Victoria could not resist the force and bounced several tens of meters away.
Fafnir began to expand his wings and flew into the air with Merlin on top of his head. Merlin was currently like a Dragon Knight from the Dragonia kingdom.
This was an opportunity, there was no way Merlin would waste this moment.
"Fafnir, don't forgive!!"
Fafnir opened his mouth again to prepare for the Anti Particle Breath attack.
--but nothing happened.
[Stupid. Why should I take orders from a lowly human like you?]
"Eh?"
Merlin surprised. She did not expect Fafnir to start talking to her.
Suddenly Fafnir's hand caught Merlin and brought him to his mouth.
"....i did expect this to happen, but I didn't expect it to be this fast."
Right in front of the mouth of the dragon full of fangs that was able to chew it with a single bite, Merlin remained so calm.
[Honestly, I'm quite happy that I haven't been summoned to this world in a long time... By the way where is that guy? I can feel her near here]
"Rather than looking for an obscure person. Now why don't you just tell me what you're gonna do? Do you want to eat me?"
[...]
"Why are you quiet?"
[Even though I eat you, I will not be happy with your non-nutritive body]
"You don't want to discuss the size of my chest, do you? If you do, you'll die!!"
Fafnir smile. It was a strange and frightening smile as it was done by a dragon of over 15 meters.
[Haha.it looks like we have to straighten out some things here. First, even if you use a magic imitation as my container to summon to this world, it does not mean that you are my master. So don't give orders. Second, if you call me into this world for no apparent reason, I will instantly pulverize you into meatballs. Understood, board girl?!]
"Why is everyone talking about the size of my chest? I told you you were going to die!!!"
Merlin thrashed and tried to get out of Fafnir's grip, but he was completely helpless.
[Looks like you underestimated me, board girl.]
Fafnir raised one of Merlin's legs and raised it upside down. It made Merlin's cel#na dal#m obvious, and of course Merlin just tried to close it.
[Bitch!! Uninspiring. I thought you were just a kid. Try wearing something that does not bear a picture.]
Merlin's face flushed. Not only because of shame, but also because of anger.
That's when the flash of light happened. The light came from Longinus which was thrown back by Victoria. The target of the throw was Fafnir's hand.
Different from its large size, Fafnir easily dodged attacks. But the opportunity was not wasted by Merlin to escape.
No, it's more appropriate that Fafnir willfully release Merlin.
Merlin easily landed. Victoria approached him.
"You're the one who made this trouble, you better have a way to solve it."
Unlike before, there was no sign of hostility from Victoria. No. gabe. It is strange to be hostile at a time like this.
Merlin also understood that this was not the time for a fight.
Fafnir in the legend was now in front of them. No one knows whether the legend is true or not. One thing is certain, Fafnir's power is real. If he uses that power to destroy, it is not just them who are in danger.
Victoria knew that there was a special team on duty to address unwanted problems. But it appears the team has not been deployed for unclear reasons.
"That's easy. If my magic energy runs out, Fafnir will return to where he came from. After all that is how we should have designed that ancient magic formation."
"...then the problem?"
If everything was fine, there was no way Merlin would turn pale.
"Ancient magic is a very complicated thing. If there is only one problem, it usually will not work or even fail. However, success also does not mean it is in accordance with the results we want. For example, when connecting my magic beast and using Dragon Vein as summoning energy. But the result was that Dragon Vein was now the source of Fafnir's existence energy in this world."
"..."
That's really bad news. Hugely.
[Have you guys finished discussing?]
Fafnir's figure landed hard not far from them.
[If so, how about we start?]
Rooooaarrr!!!! With a loud roar, the fight between Victoria and Fafnir immediately began.
"Yeah, how about we start?"
""!!??""
Merlin and Victoria had no choice but to be surprised. An unexpected figure suddenly appeared between Fafnir and them.
Of course this made the heavy atmosphere suddenly become muddled by the presence of an unexpected figure.
But the most shocked were not the two of them, but Fafnir.
[You-you.].
"Hey Faf's. Have you forgotten who your boss is?"
Fafnir stepped back. He was terrified and deathly pale to the dignity and aura he released as if it had never existed.
The figure looked at Fafnir with a sharp look and was filled with intimidation. Then not long after that Fafnir lowered his head to the ground like he was kneeling on a figure higher than him.
That incident certainly made Victoria and Merlin ask questions. What the hell is going on?
But they're not stupid enough to not understand what all this means.
"Ah. You may already know me, but let me introduce myself once more. My name is Kuro Kagami. The one who was once called Shiroyasha the Demon King."
Then, the heads of both were cut off.
