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 - 119

Chapter 119 – A Ray of Light

“Hehehe, even if you can see, can you fight?”

The one happily laughing is Eva Avery, the strongest woman in the original work.

The countless arms have surpassed the limits of a human.

Each of them possesses different attributes and exudes magical power even greater than Eleanor.

It’s likely that she can unleash magic from each of her hands.

Moreover, Eva can use flight magic.

It’s impossible to knock her out of bounds by blowing her away.

Unlike Sierra and Eleanor, causing damage enough to prevent flight magic is nearly impossible, making the situation even more challenging.

The more I think about it, the fewer openings there are.

Noblesse’s development team really created something unbelievable.

“Those who have been able to see my hands have been few. But everyone ends up stopping their momentum like that. Then, they attack knowing it’s futile even after thinking about it. That’s the end. Hey, junior, what can you do for me?”

Eva is bored. Just as Cecil doesn’t have any rivals in the Battle Universe.

But that is her only weakness.

There must be the key to victory there.

It can only be found during the battle.

“I’ll teach you defeat. Senior Eva probably doesn’t know.”

“Hehehe, you’re interesting. ――You’re the only one who came with that attitude!”

Whether she liked my statement or not, Eva didn’t move from her spot and extended numerous hands.

The flexible magical hands, moving as if they have a will of their own.

While avoiding them, I use the sword to parry the arms I can’t deal with—

“And here it comes! Eva’s unseen attack is assaulting Weiss!? Is this the end of the legend of the top-ranked underclassman!?”

I manage to fend off the continuous attacks while repeating shallow breaths. Just defending requires using magical power for defense.

But my thoughts don’t stop. What do I need to win this match?

What do I have?

At that moment, it came to me.

Just one ray of light—

“Hey, what will you do? Is it over already?”

“It’s not over yet!!!”

I deflect all of Eva’s arms and deliberately create distance.

Facing the sky, I chant Dark Rain.

Magic power surges like a snake, then bursts—black magical bullets rain down.

“Is that your aim?”

Gathering the arms like an umbrella—no injuries.

But that was expected.

“Hmm, I see.”

“Black rain pours! Eva blocks everything, but w-what’s this—! The arena is destroyed, riddled with holes!?”

However, it doesn’t end here.

I continuously send unseen slashes to the ground.

The shattered arena scatters into even smaller fragments.

“You want to defeat me by dropping me.”

“Well, how about it? ――Devi!”

Devi, who was waiting above, attacks Eva. Since I’m providing visual information to Devi, she should be able to see the arms too.

“Devi!”

Despite arms attacking Devi, she repels them with her whip. Probably due to the effects of Magic Turbulence Unroot, the effectiveness of the arms seems to be weakened.

The remaining arms come at me. I block them and launch an attack—yet the true target is, of course, the arena.

“Hmm, you’re thorough.”

Eva could have defended the arena, but she intentionally used flight magic to fly up.

She has absolute confidence that she won’t fall.

In contrast, my trump card is to stand on Unnatural Wall.

The arena has already lost its shape.

Eva floats up and then approaches.

I am already standing on Unnatural Wall.

But it’s challenging to chant while avoiding attacks.

From here on, the difficulty level rises significantly.

“So, what will you do? Show me!”

“I told you earlier, didn’t I? ――Defeat.”

In the next moment, I intentionally dispelled Unnatural Wall.

I land outside the arena, and the countdown begins.

Eva is surprised but doesn’t stop her movement to attack me.

She doesn’t know what I’m going to do, and that’s what makes it enjoyable for her.

But this situation is exactly what I was looking for.

I recall my training with Tula.

Take a deep breath.

Create a scabbard with magic and sheath the sword into it in my imagination.

If I struck normally, Eva would have avoided it.

But now, I want something interesting.

Pour everything into it.

“—One-Hit Kill.”

In an instant, a slash of air flies. It incorporates darkness, light, wind, and even weaves in spell destruction.

Eva catches it with one arm, but one is not enough.

Only with the second, third, and fourth arms can she barely stop it. However, there are still blades left.

“Good, good! This is interesting, Weiss Fancent!”

When the countdown reaches 7 seconds, I step on the ground and jump towards Eva.

But I am like bait.

Because Devi has silently moved behind Eva.

In the next moment, I allocate almost all of my magic to Devi.

The greatest advantage of summoning is the instantaneous distribution of magic.

However, it cannot be returned to the servant.

In other words, I rushed in with almost no magic left.

Eva is slightly surprised.

Everything is to focus my consciousness on me.

“Devi!”

But Devi is different. Given magic by me, she also has a whip.

Eva, realizing this, doesn’t attack me but directs her attack towards Devi.

But that slight hesitation delays her thoughts for a fraction of a second.

Everything aligns, and Devi’s attack pierces through Eva’s arm—infused with Magic Turbulence Unroot.

At the moment of the impact, Devi scatters into pieces due to magic exhaustion.

Even though she is a familiar, she still has self-awareness.

Despite being undead, there should be fear.

But she faithfully carried out her mission.

It’s impossible to make Eva unable to use magic with all my might. However, flight magic is delicate and requires advanced techniques.

If the magic is disturbed, it would be impossible to continue flying, even for Caltha.

This is the key to life that Cynthia gained in exchange for her withdrawal.

Caltha is a genius at flying, as explicitly stated in the original work.

No matter how much of a cheat Eva is, I believed that she would never surpass Caltha in terms of setting.

And that turned out to be correct.

Due to the disturbance of magic, Eva, who can no longer use flight magic, contorts her body.

However, Eva still had a smile on her face. She seemed delighted to have taken an unexpected attack.

She directs the remaining arms toward me.

Before falling to the ground, I leak my magic—meaning, I intend to make her lose consciousness.

But I won’t allow that—

Using the remaining fragments of magic, I deploy Unnatural Wall Annatural and soar high above Eva.

In a regular battle, such a pointless act wouldn’t lead to victory.

But this is a match. I’ll win outside the arena.

Eva is surprised.

She probably thought I would exert my last bit of strength at the end.

That’s the ray of light.

“I will—win.”

I cover Eva from above. Grabbing both her shoulders, I firmly press her into the ground.

The magic sword has already lost its edge.

Because I have almost no magic left.

“Hehehe, you’re interesting. Why are you so serious? This is just a sports festival, you know.”

“I—can’t afford to lose. No matter who it is!”

“Right. Fine.”

But the real match starts now.

I don’t know how long my magic will remain disturbed.

However, it shouldn’t last for 10 seconds. In other words, the first one to land on the ground loses.

To ensure that I won’t be overturned, it will be a showdown of sheer strength in the end.

But for some reason, Eva suddenly relaxed.

And then—both of us fell to the ground.

Of course, Eva fell first.

But she lay on the ground without moving, still wearing a smile.

The countdown continues. No one utters a word. And—

“The winner is the Red Team, Weiss Fancent! And with this final match point, the winner of the sports festival is the Red Team!!”

“Uwaaaaah, Eva lost!? Is this a joke!?”

“But why didn’t she move!?”

“No, her magic didn’t work due to Devi’s attack! If it weren’t for being outside the arena… she would have won!”

I won. But in the very end, it seemed as if Eva had given up on victory.

If she had been serious, I wouldn’t know what would have happened to me.

As it stands, the way I defeated Eva was not in line with the rules.

The strategy worked as planned. However, it ended anticlimactically.

Eva gets up, once again wearing a smile.

“Why did you—”

“—Those eyes of yours reminded me of an old friend.”

I was surprised. Eva never talks about her past.

That is the only and absolute rule. It was also adhered to in the original work.

But, she overlaid something of the past with me.

Whether it was joy or sadness, I couldn’t tell.

“I’ve worked hard to win too. But somehow, I forgot. Let’s try a little harder.”

“…Is that so?”

“Yes. Isn’t it interesting too?”

“Haha, it might be.”

That Eva made an effort? Frankly, laughter wells up more than fear.

Well, as a game fan, it’s the best unreleased content.

“Well then, Weiss Fancent—let’s play again. This time, not a match, but a serious fight.”

“Yes, I’ll become strong enough to do that.”

Eva leaves gracefully.

The sun is dazzling. I can’t feel any magic from my body, absolutely none.

I used everything. Not a shard remains.

Then, Sierra and Eleanor approach.

Come to think of it… it was a tag match. I had completely forgotten.

“You did well, Weiss.”

“Well… I guess I did quite a bit this time.”

“Amazing! Beating Eva-chan! But did you make up with her?”

“We never really fought. But, Eleanor seems to have become stronger too.”

At Sierra’s words, Eleanor, after being initially surprised, looked very pleased.

Being recognized must be unbearable.

“Hehe, big sister loves you.”

“Well, there’s still a long way to go. But—Eleanor, let’s do our best!”

“Yes, let’s both do our best, Eleanor.”

If the result is good, everything is fine.

I can’t claim a complete victory against Eva, but it’s a remarkable achievement.

I can’t complain about it. I did what I could in the current situation.

With this, all of Noblesse’s events are over.

Next is becoming an intermediate student.

The so far just a prologue. I need to be more vigilant.

The usual smile welcomes me.

“Weiss, good job. I believed in you.”

“Weiss-sama, you’re the best! You’re a genius! The strongest!”

“Yeah, I think so too. Just kidding. Cynthia, Lillith, thanks to both of you.”

I’ve been able to continue my efforts thanks to Lilith’s unwavering support.

Even during the tough training with Teacher Milk, she always supported me devotedly.

And thanks to Cynthia, I found a ray of light and could bet everything on it.

It’s not my power alone.

But—

Today, let me indulge in the victory’s afterglow for a little while.
