Raigo that can’t move because of the poison.
“Do you want to continue?”
“I…”
“What? I can’t hear you.”
“I surrender…”
The first battle of ‘crimson meteor’ against a name less girl resulted in complete victory. Of course Marifa’s fans were cheering and dancing. After all, Marifa showed them her overwhelming strength. On the other hand, the ‘crimson meteor’ clan can only look and glare at Nina and the rest.
The smile from Deriddo’s face immediately disappeared. After all, Marifa officially was only a D rank adventurer and she only has two monster by her side. What made Deriddo despise her even more was she actually won by using the insects and Raigo couldn’t even put up a fight.
Next, the opponent will be Lena since she was prepared to go already. This time Deriddo was putting extra caution because he feels some anxiety. Once again he takes a look at Nina’s status using the magic glasses like what he did to Marifa. However, this time the magic tool was not successful after all Lena is always keeping up 【Barrier】 that is blocking it. The glasses have 【Appraisal LV5】 but still can’t tell.
“Kota, you go next.”
“Deriddo-san, the opponent this time is only C rank. Aren’t you afraid that people will call us cowards?”
“I rather be called that than have the ‘crimson meteor’ clan disbanded. Are you going against my order?”
“Ah, no. Alright, I’ll go.”
Lalit saw that Kota was the one that was going to battle next.
“That is Kota. He is a B rank that specializes in damage output.”
“Derrido is sending out B ranker, do you think Lena will lose?”
“Lena-chan will not necessarily lose, however, it will be bad if Kota injures Lena. If that happens, I will send him to hell.”
Lena and Kota are now standing 30m away from each other however it was already within each other’s killing zone.
“Miss-chan, don’t think bad of me but this is the vice-leader’s instruction. Please.”
“…rather than talking. I will defeat you.”
Kota gathered some magic power and took out his own staff. Without even chanting, his magic was completed. It was the fourth rank 【black magic】, 《explosion》. Even though it was only fourth rank magic, the scariest factor was the speed that exceeds other B ranks.
“Joseph, although Lena can chant so fast, but this time he did it without chanting? Or is it only my imagination and he actually had it prepared before?”
“be quiet and just watch.”
Kota actually does what Mussu thought. Lena also knew that Kota is able to use 【no chanting】 skill and in this kind of battle between magic, it was obvious that victory and defeat was decided by who can cast their skill faster. However, Lena was still standing there expressionless.
“Miss, my magic has been completed. Will you surrender or die?”
“…is that the best you can do?”
Hearing Lena’s words, Kota’s pride as a B ranker was hurt.
“Don’t blame me if you die!”
When the 《explosion》 skill was launched towards Lena, Nungu and Jozu (editors note: i thought Jozu passed out?) had already come in front of Mussu to protect him. The 《explosion》 made contact with Lena’s 【Barrier】 and the ground around it turned up by the blast. Causing some dust cloud to formed. When the dust was cleared, Lena was still standing there unmoved.
“My, that explosion was stopped by the 【Barrier】?”
Lena’s fans were all ecstatic. They are shouting that little girl is the best. Of course, Lena didn’t miss the fans reaction and paid their expectation.
“…now it’s my turn. Pumpkin hat…”
Lena then took out a pumpkin hat from her item bag. The other was looking, but she did that surely not for a joke. The men of Lena’s fans however were excited, Lena looked so cute with her pumpkin hat and so lovely.
“Kota, what are you doing? Prepare another magic!”
“This is… miss-chan’s power suddenly increased!”
Kota was trying to unleash his strongest spell but he was surprised looking at the enormous magical power that has gathered at the end of Lena’s milled staff. Kota was in panic and tried to chant another stronger spell.
“Stupid. He’s panicking seeing the opponent’s spell.”
Kota who’s been acting strange seeing Lena’s magic can’t be missed by Deriddo.
Kota started casting after Lena but the spell was completed at the same time. It showed just how fast Kota was with his chanting and he really deserved respect.
Kota’s magic was sixth rank 【black magic】 《Heavy Blizzard》. Lena’s magic was sixth rank 【black magic】, 《Dancing Thunder》 however under the pumpkin hat’s ability, the mana consumption was increased by ten-fold for the price of increasing the magic by one rank. The result of that pumpkin hat, Lena is unleashing seventh rank 【black magic】, 《Wind and Thunder》.
In front of Lena, a huge ice spear filled the view. It was as if a wall of ice was coming and approaching her. Lena wasn’t worried, however, the spectators were screaming. Lena only focused on her own spell so it will hit.
