The Second Son of The Marquis Runs Away from Home ~ Lacking Talent, He Abandons Everything and Becomes an Adventurer ~ - 128

Chapter 128: Stillness and Motion

When the light subsided, Serena’s appearance had transformed. Wrapped in pure white garments, Serena was surrounded by transparent water that took the form of swords and shields, and beautiful, gleaming water wings adorned her back.

The sight was so beautiful that it seemed like an illusion of an angel descending, leaving everyone breathless. However, amidst this, the two continued to clash with each other.

Aria, with her crimson wings unfurled, descended rapidly, and the flames residing in her sword shifted from crimson to azure and then to white, releasing a tremendous power with each transformation.

“This is the current… my everything!”

Meeting the approaching Aria head-on, Serena also raised her staff. Water gathered above Serena’s head, forming shields resembling magical arrays, with layers upon layers.

“True Aegis of the Divine Water Mirror!”

With the chant, the shields merged into one, transforming into a massive and intricate structure. Illuminated by the light of the flames, the water shield emanated a divine aura.

Aria’s flame sword and Serena’s water shield collided, creating waves of heat and shockwaves in their surroundings.

Rushing forward, Rakul and I quickly stood in front of Filia and the others. In an instant, Big Brother activated a barrier, ensuring our safety. However, everyone present was captivated by the scene unfolding before their eyes.

…It was as if someone was trying to push back a falling sun. Aria’s flame sword, burning the atmosphere with incredible force, clashed with Serena’s water shield, attempting to repel and deflect it.

However, the stalemate did not last long. Cracks began to form in the area where the water shield intercepted Aria’s flame sword.

“Is Lady Serena being pushed back?”

“…No.”

While shaking her head at Rakul’s words, Serena pointed to Aria. There, Aria’s flame was gradually returning from white to azure.

“Aria’s flame is also losing momentum… Whether Serena breaks the shield or Aria defends completely, it could go either way.”

Although cracks in the water shield were gradually widening, Aria’s flame was also on the verge of returning to crimson. Yet, the awe-inspiring power diffusion continued unabated, and most of those present covered their eyes from the blinding light produced by the collision.

“Haaaaa!”

“Kuu, aaaaaah!”

The cries of Aria and Serena echoed, and as the cracks in the water shield spread throughout, Aria’s flame also began to shift back towards crimson.

The two forces, pushing each other to their limits, met their end with the sound of shattering.

As Serena’s water shield broke and scattered into mist, the release of the magical array ceased, and Serena sat down, exhausted. Aria, after landing with a downward swing of her sword, collapsed into a spread-eagle position as the array dispersed.

“…She’s amazing, Aria.”

“…I can’t proudly say we won. Right now, I can’t move either.”

Laughing together despite the intense clash just moments ago, the two presented a picturesque scene.

…If it weren’t for the surroundings resembling the aftermath of a fallen meteorite.

“Hmm, we need to carefully consider the location for future trials…”

While saying this, Big Brother chuckled, making me feel somewhat sorry for the situation he had created. And the person responsible for this unfolding scenario was…

“Incredible, incredible, incredible! Is True Tieron surpassing Justireon in terms of firepower? If you can focus flames on a sword to concentrate heat and destructive power, then True Tieron surely can…”

He had become quite the dangerous individual.
