295 – Self Control (3)
Red blood was flowing from Fiat’s cut thigh.
She put her fingers all over the place. There was blood on her fingers.
Naelum.
Fiat licked her bloody fingers with her tongue.
“How long has it been since I experienced an attack like this?”
She recited with a noticeably brightened expression.
“You’re using a cute trick, Theo Lin Balderk.”
Fiat stood still without moving, staring at Theo.
Currently, she was full of gaps, but Theo did not make any additional attacks.
‘That’s fishing.’
It is dangerous to enter hastily.
Fiat is currently on high alert.
‘Fiat’s physical capabilities greatly surpass mine.’
If you’re strengthened with all the buffs, it’s over as soon as you make one mistake.
However, using a buff right now is a gamble.
While Theo was thinking of the next strategy in her head.
“You’re careful. Even if you do this, you won’t come in?”
Fiat put the sword in her hand back into the scabbard on her back. Then she crossed her arms. It was a blatant provocation.
Theo said.
“I will do as you wish.”
Contrary to what he said, Theo did not run into the Fiat.
‘Rather than close combat, fight from a distance.’
Theo took out the [Elemental Sword] From the [Subspace Bag].
He maintained his distance and swung his sword in the direction of Fiat.
Following the path of the sword strike, a cold magical blade was created in the air.
Slurring─
The magic blade flies towards Fiat’s upper body.
Fiat bent his knees to avoid the magic blade.
Theo swung her sword one after another.
The same number of magic blades as the sword strike flies towards Fiat again.
A barrage of blades that even blocked all escape routes.
Fiat held the sword in his hand again. And he swung his sword sharply at the flying magic blade.
Hooooo!
The sound of the wind splitting rang out.
The magic blade, hit by wind pressure, could not reach Fiat. It crumbled in the air.
Fiat smiled, as if he was in a good mood.

“It’s fun. “This isn’t the end, is it?”
There was no reply.
Instead,
Kugugugu──
A huge wall of stone rose from beneath the ground she was treading on. This is the magic that Theo cast with [Elemental Sword].
The stone wall did not hit Fiat. She easily took a side step and avoided the stone wall.
Kugugugu── Kugugugu──
One after another, stone walls rose up around her. It was as if she was trying to trap her within her stone walls.
“This is a bit disappointing.”
Fiat seemed to have read Theo’s intention and took side steps one after another. Her purpose was to avoid being trapped by the stone wall.
‘Mana may not be infinite. ‘It would take quite a bit of mana to summon a stone wall of this size and thickness.’
Fiat waited for Theo to run out of mana and dodged the constantly rising stone wall.
However, the magic that Theo is casting uses the magic stone embedded in the [Elemental Sword] As a raw material.
Recently, Theo received a supply of so many magic stones from Taylor that he could rot. She had enough magic to last an entire night.
Kugugugugung──!
The stone wall rose without stopping.
How much time has passed? A barrier has emerged between Theo and Fiat.
Fiat laughed.
‘I don’t think the magic was used with my own mana. Even a 7-8 circle wizard can’t fire magic like this.’
The height of the stone wall was over 5 meters. It was so thick that I couldn’t cut it with a sword.
It’s a wall that Fiat’s physical ability could overcome, but she didn’t.
‘When you jump over, a gap will most likely be exposed. That cute guy will never miss that opportunity.’
She was a person with amazing talents. She was also someone who knew how to use those talents skillfully. There may still be more to her stash.
‘I don’t know the intention behind building a stone wall like this, but let’s get along.’
Fiat’s sixth sense is extremely developed, having experienced over 1,000 actual battles.
Her sixth sense advised. In this fight, the one who enters first loses.
So she didn’t move anymore.
At that time.
Shook.
A stab came through the stone wall. The sting was silvery.
“!”
Fiat’s eyes widened.
‘The attack is coming through that thick wall…?’
Although she only had a fleeting moment, she wondered if she was seeing her fantasy.
But her body was honest. Her long training did not lie. Her body, which had lived on the border between life and death for a long time, reacted to a completely unexpected attack.
Fiat twisted her body to avoid her stab.
She couldn’t avoid it completely.
Sigh.
Silver light pierced Fiat’s right shoulder. It was so fast that she only felt pain after the silver light pierced her body.
“······Ugh.”
A moan escapes from my mouth. In the meantime, she did not let go of the sword in her hand.
Crash, crackle──
The sound of someone stepping on the wall resonates.
The epicenter of the sound is Theo. He climbed the stone wall with only his two legs, without using his hands.
Theo, standing on top of the stone wall, wasted no time and jumped down toward the Fiat.
Boowooung──
At the same time, she lowered her sword towards her. His sword was burning silver.
A timing that the wounded Fiat cannot completely avoid.
She had a hunch.
‘······You can’t stop that. Must be avoided.’
Fiat followed her intuition. She used all the strength of her body to throw herself backwards.
Quagwagwagwang!
The space where the Fiat was standing just a moment ago was destroyed.
It was literally destroyed. The ground was pitted with craters, as if it had been bombarded by high-circle flame magic.
Fiat was not safe from the bombing.
“······Ha.”
Fiat looked at his lower body. The lower calf of her left leg was missing.
‘······It’s over.’
There is a one-armed test, but there is no one-legged test.
The confrontation is over. She said she was defeated.
But for some reason, I felt relieved.
Thinking about it again, I couldn’t even imagine that the sword would penetrate the stone wall.
It was impossible to block a sword strike of such tremendous power. If it had been stopped, it would have exploded.
Jeopuk, Jeopuk.
Fiat looked up at Theo walking towards him.
‘I was obsessed with the fact that I was ahead in terms of physical ability. ‘I never thought they would hide such a number.’
Her physical abilities greatly exceeded those of Theo. In her first competition, she figured it out right away.
So, without even realizing it, I developed an arrogant attitude.
‘In a duel where life is at stake, you never know what variables will arise.’
Of course, if I fight again with my body intact, I am confident that I will fight 100 times and win 100 times.
But that was just wishful thinking.
His legs were evaporated by the bombardment of the sword created by Theo. No matter how much elixir it is, it cannot regenerate the leg.
Theo stood silently in front of the Fiat.
Fiat sighed briefly.
“It’s a shame, but it’s time to die.”
Tuk.
Fiat placed the sword he was still holding in his hand on the ground.
Then he closed his eyes and stretched his neck out to Theo.
“Losers are silent. Kill him, Theo Lin Walderk.”
Theo said.
“Don’t you want to live?”
“Dueling was my life itself. “With my legs like this, I can no longer walk the path of martial arts.”
“······.”
Fiat opened its mouth again. Her voice was calm, uncharacteristic of someone whose death was right in front of her.
“So kill him, Theo Lin Balderk. The life I live just because I am still alive has no meaning at all to me. “If you don’t kill me, I plan to take my own life.”
Theo did not respond in any way.
Crash.
She simply put the sword in her hand back into its scabbard.
Wow.
Fiat bit her lower lip.
“······Are you planning to humiliate me? “Are you telling me to kill myself?”
Her blood flowed down Fiat’s red lips.
She placed the sword on the floor in her hand again.
“······Yes, the winner gets everything. “My life is now yours.”
Fiat held her sword in both her hands.
“A body that has only wielded a sword all its life.”
The tip of the sword was aimed at her heart.
“Even when I die, I will die with the sword.”
When Fiat closed her eyes and was about to stab her in the heart.
Theo said.
“I will let you hold the sword again, Fiat.”
“······?”
Fiat lifted her head and looked up at her Theo.
“What kind of bullsh*t is that, Theo Lin Balderk? Her legs completely disappeared. Even the Pope can’t fix this. “It’s not possible even with elixir.”
Theo responded calmly.
“Of course it would be impossible that way. But I know how to fly.”
Fiat’s eyes were looking at Theo as she was fluctuating wildly.
‘It’s not a lying attitude.’
Theo opened her mouth again.
“So, let me ask you, Fiat. I will help you walk the path of nothingness again, so stand by my side and fight [Turning White]. “After you get rid of [Turning White], You can live your life again.”
Fiat was silent for a while. She just looked up at Theo blankly.
‘······As expected, pottery is something one is born with. ‘He’s on a different level from the guys I’ve seen before.’
After a while, she said.
“I understand. “I’ll cut it all up.”
She continued her words with a determined expression.
“······For you.”
subordinate number……. how many again??
