True King's Ecstasy

Chapter 158 Red Haired Battle



*Clang

The two swords clashed with each other creating sparks between them as both Delvi and Pete backed from the pressure they felt.

"You bitch! How did you get so strong besides weren't you just a cute girl, you could have stayed like that without getting all arrogant like this," Landing his bastard sword on the ground, Pete took a deep breath for a moment to calm down as his mind was going crazy.

'How's she so strong? Damn it, she's stronger than anyone I fought in the past

He didn't want to openly admit it but it was obvious that he didn't find Delvi to be a favourable opponent as her speed, strength, and tactics were all top-notch.

"You don't need to know and I don't like you, that's enough reason for me to kill you," Delvi didn't entertain Pete's useless question as she took her stance back getting ready to charge again.

"Besides, you tried to kill my beloved brother on my own hand, if something happens to him that day," She felt her heart breaking with visible sounds, just by imagining such an alternative future.

"You and your old hag need to die, otherwise I can't stop hating my hair, I want to believe I look beautiful but I hate this so much that even if Velian appreciated my hair, I can't believe it,"

Pete just scoffed at her words taking his bastard sword back after seeing Delvi's stance.

"Who gives a shit about your hair? Just come, I will complete my mother's unfinished task, I always regretted letting my father enjoy such a beautiful gem-like Daphnia, now I can have it,"

Delviny felt disgusted seeing his eyes. Even though she didn't know much about relationships when she was small, she remembered how Pete used to force himself on the maids in the castle.

"I'm glad your scum behaviour hasn't changed a single bit,"

With those words, both of them charged at each other.

Delviny with her agility tried to sneak and quickly damage his tendons, but just like she expected his bastard sword was too big for it. Pete couldn't even counterattack Delviny as her speed was twice or thrice as that of Pete's.

"You're just fast, that's it, you can't beat me,"

"I'm done," Just as this fast sequence of events happened, Delviny backed down a bit with her sword.

"What? Give up already? Come on sister, I just started to enjoy this," Obviously Pete was lying, his hands were already numb from Delviny's attacks and he felt relieved to hear her words.

"Give up?" Delviny couldn't help but chuckle hearing his words, it pissed off Pete so much that he actually felt like attacking her as soon as possible but something inside his body was telling him not to. Maybe it was his instinct.

"Why would I give up when Velibtrained me so much that?" Suddenly her mana started to get absorbed by the sword.

"What are you?" It was a bizarre incident for Pete as swords that can absorb mana were really rare and even if someone found someone that can actually send mana into it without exploding it was even rare to find.

The reason for the lack of magic swordsmen in this era was mainly because of the low level of mana control that Velian learnt on his own with his past life knowledge.

"This is the second time, I'm using this on an opponent and believe me if you can't be the first one, you won't survive," Suddenly her sword started to burn like a campfire but ten times more faster than that.

Most of the empire soldiers as well as alliance soldiers halted their movements just to look at this beautiful yet fierce fire. They were able to feel the heat even if they were near the gate showing how hot her fire was.

"Delvi is going all out, well I expected this because she was really pissed off," Velian wasn't even a single bit worried because he used his system knowledge to measure Pete's status only to realise he was just an A-rank.

He had rather good skills and status for an A-rank but still, beating SS-ranked Delvi was a dream for him.

"What the hell is that?" Pete felt intimated by the sheer amount of hotness and pressure he felt from the fire of the sword.

"Oh this, I call this Inferno sword, pretty cool right? This is a gift from Veli, and this is the same sword that will burn your body into ashes,"

Since Delviny wasn't proficient in her magic, she compensated for it with her swordsmanship as well as her newfound power which combined both magic and swordsmanship.

At first, it was hard for her when she was a B-rank to control and keep it steady but after reaching SS rank and surpassing her body limit, Delvi found what it feels like to have full control of mana. Her mana pool also became abnormally large letting her use this skill for longer.

"For my real family," Whispering those words, Delvi charged in like thunder with her sword creating a beautiful firework in the middle of the day.

She took a quick jump as she knew Pete already predicted her movements to prevent blocking but showing that he wasn't all talk Oete quickly reacted to her movements.

"Is that the best you can do?"

"Just look at your sword, idiot," As soon as he heard Delvi's work, she looked at it only to see his bastard sword melting like magma as soon as it touched Delvi's sword.

Landing on the ground, Delvi quickly landed another slash which actually hit the arm of Pete shocking everyone in the battleground.

"Ughhhhh~ my hand," Feeling the pain, he shouted in agony but no blood came out of his wound as it already got burned by Delviny's sword.

"Wait Delvi, don't call him right now, he has a lot of stuff to do, let's use his every bone and meat to our advantage,"

As soon as Delvi tried to deal the finishing blow, she heard Velian's voice which surprised her.

"Boys, use a strong rope to tie him up, and don't forget to shove something inside his mouth, he's too loud," Ignoring Pete's hateful look, Velian announced as the war came to an end with a surprising third-party's win.
