I Have been Reincarnated As a Lazy, Arrogant Noble, but When I Destroyed The Scenario Through Effort, I Became The Most Powerful With Extraordinary Magical Power - 118

Chapter 118 – Difference in Determination

The moment the match began, Sierra and I charged straight ahead.

Eva and Eleanor remained motionless, exuding magical energy.

I know about Eva. She wouldn’t suddenly launch an attack.

First, she would observe our movements, enjoy the situation, and then crush us after finding the attacks entertaining.

For Eva, battles are like a game. Winning or losing, life or death, those concepts don’t matter to her.

But I’ve learned. This is a match.

There must be an opening to exploit.

But first, we need to take down Eleanor without fail.

Sierra and I wielded the magical sword Dual Sword and the scythe Death Scythe.

We leaped towards Eleanor, swinging our weapons with all our might.

“Haah!”

However, Eleanor, with corrosion emanating from both hands, intercepted our attacks. A sizzling sound echoed as my sword, which shouldn’t be susceptible to weapon destruction, chipped in some parts.

It was the same for Sierra. Although she likely had a coating of light attributes, corrosion seemed to affect her weapon by penetrating through the defense.

The magical sword Dual Sword wouldn’t be destroyed, but it would take a few seconds to repair. This difference might come into play later.

“Oh my, am I being ignored?”

Eva, with a childlike smile and a murderous aura, spoke up. She must have realized that she was deliberately being left alone. Perhaps that displeased her.

But the overwhelming magical power that could not be laughed off, with goosebumps all over my body, urged my brain to take evasive action and escape from this place.

However, that was not allowed.

Sierra and I simultaneously leaped backward to create distance.

Then, we let out a shallow breath.

“Well, this is troublesome.”

“Yeah, do we change the strategy?”

“It won’t change. We’ll take down Eleanor.”

Eleanor’s Corrosion could corrode anything, regardless of attribute or defensive magic.

If the resistance is weak, it’s a one-shot. Even with a strong spell, it would be helpless given enough time.

Moreover, Eleanor excelled in defense resistance by nature.

Penetrating the corrosion to deal damage to the core was an extremely challenging task.

Indeed, a troublesome ability, just like mine with darkness.

However, darkness has a fatal disadvantage.

That is, it consumes a considerable amount of magical power.

And Eleanor is big. In many ways.

Nevertheless, her magical power is undoubtedly abundant.

To add a bit of frustration, Eva, who already had her fair share of annoyance, isn’t in a favorable situation.

“Let’s launch another attack. Weiss, she’s…”

“…Coming!”

Sierra called out to me, and at that moment, Eleanor charged in alone.

This was unexpected.

Before the match, Eleanor declared to Sierra that she would definitely win with an expression different from usual.

I see, she really seems to have that determination.

But—this is advantageous!

“Haah!”

“Aerial Slash Airy!”

Sierra and I sent slashes through the air. Sharp blades headed towards Eleanor.

However—

“It won’t work.”

Destroyed effortlessly with both hands. There was no delay in breaking through the Flash Time-Lapse spell, and she simply swung her hands to destroy it. It was like cheating.

But Sierra and I understood that much.

I was soaring high in the air at the same time.

Sierra was charging directly from the front.

Her weakness was in the two directions that her hands couldn’t reach.

Frontal and from above, taking advantage of the disadvantages in both vision and joint mobility.

Even if she could easily see through our attacks by reaching out her hands, our attacks were not light.

I set up the Unnatural wall in the air, climbed up it, then set up another wall, and descended forcefully this time.

Assassination—

From the front, Sierra was aiming to deliver a powerful blow.

—Received.

“Hehehe, you won’t allow that, huh? But you’ve become quite versatile, haven’t you?”

“—Kuh.”

But the one who intercepted my attack was Eva.

Invisible hands, just before hitting Eleanor’s body, the sword was stopped.

The sensation was like hitting iron.

The fact that there was no sound made it even more eerie.

And Sierra began her battle with Eleanor.

Even though the plan didn’t go as expected, I just need to stop Eva.

Well, it was too good to be true from the beginning.

—Don’t leave the strongest unchecked.

I landed on the ground and took a stance with my sword.

I’ve become much stronger than the last time we sparred.

—Going all out.

“Come, junior.”

“—Devi!”

I summoned Devi at full speed.

A vortex of darkness appeared out of nowhere, and Devi emerged from it.

Sword in the right hand, whip in the left, both of us attacked with full force while running side by side.

“Hehehe, that’s good. You’ve indeed become stronger.”

A smile of composure—but I would increase the speed even further from here.

I multiplied the Body Enhancement Scale Up several times.

Simultaneously, I struck the ground with my feet, activating the impulses of Healing Grace and Destruction.

The power of Sierra and me amplified—

“You’ve become quite skilled.”

You can laugh now—it’s only for now.

“Weiss’s incredible attack! Just trying to follow it with your eyes, no, impossible to follow! But what’s this? Eva is dodging all of Weiss and Devi’s attacks while laughing!?”

—Damn, she’s a monster.

“That’s good, that’s good. Reaching this level as an underclassman is amazing.”

“You say that often!!!”

Finally, I let out all my magical power and delivered a high-speed blow.

This should be impossible to avoid—

“What, Weiss’s sword is stopped in mid-air!?”

“Hehehe, everyone caught on, huh?”

“Revealing the plot is the thrill of the match!!”

However, Devi’s whip from behind continued to be avoided.

Huh, interesting.

“Oh, Sierra’s attack, has finally reached Eleanor!?”

Then, I saw Sierra’s scythe, which was fighting from behind, hit Eleanor directly in the right abdomen.

Her face twisted in pain.

But Eleanor, biting her lower lip, swung her right hand, hitting Sierra’s right shoulder.

It seemed to have dealt considerable damage with that one blow.

Sierra, also with a twisted face, flew backward, holding her right shoulder.

I used Unnatural Wall to fly towards Sierra and hurriedly approached.

Immediately, I chanted a healing spell.

I usually didn’t use it much, but attacks from darkness weaken resistance like poison.

This was to prevent that.

“…Thank you, Weiss.”

“No, more importantly— it’s not easy to break through, huh?”

“Yeah, Eva still seems comfortable. Eleanor… seems different today. She really intends to win. Honestly… even though she’s my sister.”

Sierra had always protected Eleanor.

No, she would continue to do so.

Thanks to Eleanor, Sierra could maintain a strong mindset even in unfavorable situations.

As a sister, she always wanted to be someone relied upon.

But Eleanor wouldn’t want to depend on her.

The difference in determination would decide who was superior.

And that applied to me as well.

I truly intended to defeat Eva.

Whether that feeling was stronger or not.

“Let’s go again together. This time, I’ll support you.”

“Hehehe, you saying that is interesting.”

“It’s to win.”

Yes, to win.

I wouldn’t care about the means for that.

Again, we rushed simultaneously. But we had the numerical advantage with Devi.

Devi had also become stronger than before. There’s no way she would be killed in one blow.

The biggest advantage of Devi was being able to fly without consuming magical power.

I controlled Devi, who was waiting in the air, and fired a magical power cannon.

At the same time, Sierra attacked Eleanor.

“Hehehe, how interesting.”

Eva deployed a defense in the air.

Sierra’s attack was intercepted by Eleanor.

I granted Sierra the Body Enhancement Scale Up at that moment.

Sierra’s power increased, pushing Eleanor’s body in.

Eva tried to help, but I cast an additional defense shield.

If Eva attacked seriously from the beginning, it would probably be destroyed. However, it was soft enough to withstand a monitoring blow.

At that moment, Sierra initiated another attack. Combining the scythe’s attack with high-speed movement Phantom Move, she unleashed a close-range slash of air.

Even if the attack was blocked, the impact of the sharp blade remained.

“Eleanor, you can’t beat me!”

“I—will win!”

Sierra’s attack reached Eleanor. A flash on her cheek, blood seeping.

It seems she’s serious. She really wants to win.

But Eleanor is the same.

A match where both are serious. I decided to witness it.

This is a tag tournament, but it’s a serious match.

—My opponent is Eva.

“I won’t let you interfere.”

I approached Eva as if charging, stepped into Unnatural Wall with both feet, and swung my sword forcefully.

It’s okay if she intercepts it.

The goal is to not let Eva interfere with Sierra.

But Eva seemed to find it interesting; she set her sights on me.

She activated Flash Time-Lapse.

Pouring all the power until now into it. I could see everything—the stagnation, flow, aura, everything related to magic.

And finally—

“Oh, I see… you.”

“—Hah, not a chance.”

A part of Eva’s power manifested.

What grew from her back like wings were arms made of numerous magical powers.

They wriggled like living creatures as they came toward me.

Each power was tremendous. All with different attributes. This is probably what repelled all the pseudo-demons.

“Hehehe, you like it too.”

I must have been laughing unconsciously.

I could see Eva’s power, something I couldn’t know in the original work.

But—she’s too strong!

“What the hell!? What on earth is Weiss fighting against!?”

Countless hands attacked.

I was on the defensive—no, that’s not it.

I’m focusing Eva on attacking me.

On the side, Sierra and Eleanor were engaging in a serious fight.

It was a look I had never seen before.

“Eleanor, I won’t lose to you because I’m your sister!”

“I’m not weak forever!!!”

Then, at that moment, Eleanor—surprisingly activated Corrosion with her right leg.

Even Sierra seemed surprised by that.

Outstanding magical technique was Sierra’s specialty.

But Eleanor wasn’t just watching it. However, I had never seen such an attack in the original work.

Probably, no, certainly altered.

Eleanor’s corrosive right leg hit Sierra directly in the abdomen. Even though it was on the magical formation of the gym clothes, it would be a shock enough to break ribs.

Nevertheless, Eleanor didn’t stop. She was serious about winning.

But—Sierra’s eyes—she’s not dead.

“I won’t lose to you.”

With a twisted face in pain and her body being forcefully pushed in, Sierra dealt a blow with her scythe.

The final impact was tremendous, and even the highly defense-resistant Eleanor couldn’t help but scream.

And then, the two of them, still grabbing each other, flew out of the arena.

Up to 10 seconds is permissible.

But—neither of them stood up.

“Both unable to get up, Sierra from the red team, Eleanor from the white team, out of bounds!”

I deflected Eva’s attack forcefully.

But Eva quietly accepted it and grinned.

“Now, there won’t be any interference.”

“Yes—indeed.”

The only one left is Eva Avery.
