I Am No King's
Chapter 8 - Battle Royale Completed
Weak-headed.
In a short time, I managed to defeat two more people. I didn't expect the participants who fought the battle royale to be this weak. If this is compared to the black world market fighters, they are just ordinary fighters, not great fighters.
If I had to pass judgment, maybe the horses and their movements were pretty good, using the standards of a knight school or something. But if they use practical standards on the field and fight, they suck. They were completely attached to the book "how to fight as a knight". In other words, they were used to training against people who were also from the knight school. They have less or no experience against someone who does not come from school. Well, at least I've proven one rumor.
For Ufia and Zage, I can't say the same. Since the start of the battle royale, I have continued to pay attention to them. From my observation, their experience was not something that could be looked at one eye. It even seemed that they had experience against someone who did not come from a knight school.
Well, I can't say that I'm surprised. Before becoming a Regal Knight, Zage was one of the warriors with a mountainous record of success. He was also often sent to the front lines of warfare or rebel suppression operations. Right now he has lost his shield, something that is beneficial to me.
For Ufia, I was quite surprised. Although he was a graduate of the Knight school, but did not see the horses and rigid movements that were generally owned by knights in general. I had a bit of a doubt if he really graduated from knight school. Considering he's not from a noble family like me, maybe he has another story. Well, that doesn't rule out the possibility.
Currently, there were only three people left in the arena. The three of us walked towards the center of this stadium, Ufia on my right and Zage on my left. I could hear the cheers aimed at Ufia and Zage. For me? Of course caci maki. They thought I was too stifled and my movements looked too cunning because I often used deceptive attacks and attacked opponents from behind.
"Include me, my name is Zage Mermuke from the family of Duke Mermuke, Regal Knight Princess Yurika Falch Fafniari."
Zage formally introduced himself to us. Although he realized that his identity was already known, but introducing himself to an important fight was one of the knight's codes of conduct. Well, normally a knight would give his name while exchanging attacks on his opponent. Previously, none of the participants had done it to me because they thought I did not have a chivalric code of conduct.
"Include me, my name is Ufia Zas Alhold of the Alhold family, Regal Knight Princess Jeanne Herizzeta."
Ufia introduced herself. And of course, he immediately threw a cold glance at me. He must have realized I actually did not want to do self-introduction because I think it is not necessary, but because there is no harm also, yes, let me follow the tradition of their code of ethics.
"Include me, my name is Lugalgin Alhold of the Alhold family, Regal Knight candidate Princess Emir Falch Exequoer."
If it was yesterday afternoon, I would still be able to say Princess Emir with pride, but now, if I speak princess before the Emir said, my tongue feels strange.
"Hngg? Candidate only?" Ufia raised her eyebrows.
Hmm, for a minute, how nice I am to give you the answer. I can't possibly give an answer that the Emir picked me up at home and I refused to become a Regal Knight. Not likely. Although I don't want to admit it, the Emir is still a princess. He still has an image to take care of. So I decided to say, too,
"Yes right, just a candidate," I confirmed to Ufia. "There was a slight problem at the time of my appointment as Regal Knight because it was too sudden. So, I can't be a Regal Knight yet."
Lies.
"Hmm, I see," Zage responded. "But, to be able to make Princess Emir acknowledge you to be his regal knight, you must have great abilities."
"Master praises me too much."
It seemed that Ufia was fed up with my theatrics and dialogue so she tried to end this conversation.
"All right, soon we'll just start this three-way fight. The audience is impatient."
"really. It's time we start this three-way fight."
Zage gave his consent. Ahh, even though I want to propose that I and Zage join forces to defeat Ufia. However, when I saw Zage's eyes, I could see the determination not only to win, but also to test my ability to gain Emir's recognition. I'm sure if I put forward that coalition proposal, he'll reject it.
I did not immediately confirm their words. I turned my head behind me, looking towards the special seat given to the King and the Queen's family. I can see Princess Yurika next to the Emir, but right now I want to ask for Emir's confirmation.
Emir nodded.
"alright. Let's start this fight."
Along with confirmation from me, the three of us ran forward. I swung my toyaku, Ufia swung her greatsword, and Zage swung his spear.
Don't forget, I'm not a knight, so I won't face them both blatantly. I swung my toyak onto the ground and used it as a pedestal to send my body over the two of them.
"What?"
Ufia who saw my actions was surprised.
I immediately fired bullets from both my shield. Bullets penetrated towards Zage's head and blast bullets towards Ufia. It seemed that my movements were too unexpected that Ufia was unable to lift her sword to take cover. He had to use one of his two basokanyas as a protector. One basoka was destroyed and could no longer be used.
For Zage, I honestly don't know what to say. He swung his spear quickly and fended off my bullet. Since the bullet from my left shield had an extremely strong penetrating power, even though he was fending it off, he was forced to lose his spear. However, to be able to match his spear which may be the width of the blade is only a few centi with my bullet which is only 15 mm caliber, what kind of reflex is it? Totally inhuman.
Finally when I landed, Ufia immediately charged at me with her great sword. I held the sword with the left end of my Toyaku. Unwilling to give up the opportunity, Zage threw away his spear and took out his long sword which was still inside the sheath, slashing it towards me.
I could have turned my toyaku into a three-sectional-staff, but my position wouldn't have been convincing enough if I did. I fired an explosive bullet at my right shield towards the ground, scattering dust to impede the Zage's movement.
Ufia used her still active basokanya, firing shots at me. I let my left shield receive its shot. Utilizing the momentum from his basokanya explosion, I jumped back, away from Ufia.
Right then, I fired three shots from my left shield towards Ufia. This time he moved quite fast and was able to use his greatsword as perization. But his sword didn't just get away with it. Because my shot was in a row and hit the same spot, the sword broke.
I could see his eyes widening when his sword broke. If you think my shot was the main cause of his sword breaking, then you're wrong. I watched his sword from the start of the match. I can say the sword is not at its best. Maybe he's been using it for too long and it's a pity to replace it. Unfortunately, it had a bad effect. He still lacks experience.
"Truly an unexpected way of fighting. No wonder you can defeat the Princess Emir."
"Uh, I'm not saying that I defeated the Emir Princess."
Zage suddenly started a conversation in the middle of a fight.
"Not to dodge. The Princess Emir had already declared she would not raise someone weaker than her."
Ah, yes, he said it. Does that mean the fact that I am stronger than the Emir is common knowledge? Ahh, it seems that I want to find a little more information on this matter, but I better save this thought for later. Right now, there is a fight ahead of me.
I turned my toyaku into a three-sectional-staff and pulled Zage's leg from the side. With this I managed to make him fall. Right then, I immediately jumped back and an explosion had already appeared where the Zage had fallen. I looked to the left and saw that Ufia had already fired her bazokanya. My instincts are still going normally.
I looked to the giant screen to confirm our HP. HP Zage was only a quarter, the color was already red. HP Ufia is still sharp, the color is still orange. my HP? Still full, full bar, green.
Why is my HP still full? Its simple. I'm not used to using this amulet so all the moves I make should be able to change to it as soon as possible. So, all the opponent's attacks must have been withheld by my toya or shield. Nsmun, for the other participants who were already used to using amulet, they must have considered losing a bit of HP no problem and focused more on attacking.
They are used to living with safety so as not to feel threatened when an opponent attacks, which indirectly turns off their instincts. On the other hand I, who used to fight with life as the bet, felt that every attack was a threat. The shield should always be ready. Even though I knew this amulet would protect me, I was still afraid that my body would bleed. If my blood hits the opponent's weapon, they won't be able to control it anymore. Big no's.
Without giving me time to relax, the basoka hovering near Ufia instantly fused with her sword. His previously broken sword returned intact, even becoming increasingly large and long.
Great him too. To maintain its shape when attacking requires high concentration. No, he even had to divide his concentration of control. One to defend his sword form and another to attack.
Unfortunately, I have no intention of letting it go. I fired a penetrating bullet and the sword broke again. The sword formation through controlling was not as strong as the forged sword, therefore it was easier for me to destroy it.
I put some distance between me and them to do a state evaluation. I've used 8 penetration bullets and 3 blast bullets, 7 penetration bullets left and 15 blast bullets. Hmm, if this continues, then my victory is certain.
But do I want to win? Let's think about it for a second. If I win, it is highly unlikely that people will take their eyes off me. All nobles will directly set their sights on me. Even though I have applied for the condition of not wanting to be made into political material and anything related to noblesses oblige, but other nobles may not heed it.
In fact, with my status being only a regal knight candidate, it is almost impossible for the other royal families not to try to recruit me into a regal knight. Since the regal knight has no obligations as a noble, noblesse oblige, so the Emir will not be able to protect me from the offer of the regal knight. Ahh, I doubt it.
[Hello, Lugalgin.]
I turned towards the screen that previously displayed our HP, looking at the Emir with his very wide smile. Uh, I suddenly feel bad.
[If you lose intentionally, then I will do the opposite of all our agreements.]
"EMIR! DON'T CHANGE THE DEAL!"
Without me noticing, I've been yelling, snapping at him. Unfortunately, I also forgot that we weren't alone. We were in public, and I showed very rude behavior to the Emir. In fact, I just called her name without the title of princess. And of course, a lot of scorn and scorn maki appeared. In fact, I could see some of the royal guards directly directing a cold look at me.
[So, make sure you fight hard.]
He ignored my words and kept smiling. However, that smile was not a happy and innocent smile. That smile was a wry smile, or rather, I felt she was smiling to hide her anger. Earlier, he said he didn't mind if I lost. Then why is he asking me to fight seriously? No, looking at the present condition, he indirectly ordered me to win.
"You have defiled the Alhold surname as incompetent and now you intend to defile the Alhold surname even further by being rude to the Emir Princess?"
Ufia yelled at me. It seemed, when I retreated to think, Ufia had already managed to take out her sword form.
Zage was already standing with his sword. However, there was another object hovering near his shoulder. It seemed that he was using his shield and his previously destroyed spear for as additional weapons or protectors.
"I'm sorry, but I had to win" I muttered softly as I took off my right glove.
I directly advanced towards the Zage. Zage, who realized he had a loss in a long-range fight, directly advanced on me as well. Ufia did not want to miss, she also advanced on me.
I fired explosive bullets from my right shield at them as well as around me. The two of them paused for a moment to dispel my shots, but my target was not their bodies. I aimed my shot at the ground around their feet, making smoke appear and blocking the view.
As soon as my blast bullet ran out, I twisted another part of my toyak and changed my toyaku form into something else. Unlike the previous three-sectional-staff, this time my toyaku became four parts. One on the half I hold and three on the rest of the half. With this form, my toyaku is almost like a somewhat stiff, half-sectional-staff whip.
With a half-sectional-staff, I wrapped around Zage's sword and then pulled it, throwing it away. Without letting him respond, I fired a penetrating bullet four times towards Zage. I'm sure with his inhumane reflexes, he could've dodged or even dodged a bullet or two, but I'm not sure that four.
Meanwhile, Ufia took the risk and directly charged at me, breaking through the smoke that separated us. I turned my three-sectional-staff half-shape back into a toya and then swung it towards Ufia. However, this attack was just a trick. I threw my toyak into Ufia's head and she was forced to stop her attack to defend. This is what I was after.
I went forward and grabbed her face with my right palm. As soon as my palm touched his face, his controlling power instantly dissipated. He immediately released his sword. I guess because the weight of his sword suddenly felt heavy. I pushed his body to the ground, plunged him, and fired a penetrating bullet saru.
I looked towards the large screen beside the stadium, looking at the HP Zage and Ufia indicator screens. Since everything I did happened in less than five seconds, then the indicator on the new screen moved. Finally, Zage and Ufia's HP were both depleted. And along with that, a comment appeared.
[With this, the 67th Battle Royale has been completed. The winner was Lugalgin Alhold, the representative of the Princess Emir Falch Exequoer.]
