117 – Charlotte Forte – 2
Faaang—!
The most intense flames hit the ground.
The emotions and skills accumulated over and over again, and the efforts of a girl who endured for a long time are finally starting to bear fruit.
-Die day by day Training doesn’t necessarily make you stronger.
The words Adrian had once said started playing in Charlotte’s ears again.
-But the time will surely come. If you can survive those days.
Blooming.
Someone’s talent will bloom, but what Charlotte has blossomed now is a burning flame. I mean, it was an effort.
It’s okay if someone doesn’t know. Because Charlotte herself knows better than anyone else.
She knows best what kind of time she has been spending.
Adrian also smiled. She knew that Adrian was going through a terrible time as well as Charlotte herself.
Adrian also believed in and supported the will to overcome even the despair of the last moment.
‘I can do it.’
That she is the main character of this world.
This world exists only to kill her, but Charlotte Forte is a person who can overcome even that.
The movements of Valerie and Charlotte, which are hard to follow with the naked eye. However, Adrian followed Charlotte’s movements without missing a moment.
“…It’s amazing.”
Charlotte murmured quietly.
Her body is being driven into extreme conditions more than ever.
However, why is her body and mind calmly sinking? Why is the field of view wider?
『Embodiment』.
Recognizing magic related to body strengthening as ‘magic’ no longer, but recognizing it as part of the body, and maximizing its effect.
All wizards strive to embody. Clearly, the material Charlotte received had an explanation for embodying.
She
She did but never thought she could pull it off. To her surprise she was doing it now.
It’s okay even if there are parts that are out of sight. Because I can feel it through my senses.
Fire—!
Purple flames wrapped around the girl like a dress embroidered with decorations.
Leaving a burning footprint on the road, the girl closes the distance with Valerie.
Hwaaak, sweat forms on the forehead and vaporizes at the same time. The ends of the girl’s bangs could not withstand the flames and were slightly burned.
“Valerie.”
I can feel Valerie running in front of me.
The distance between Valerie and Charlotte. Valerie and Charlotte’s speed.
What kind of flow is Valerie using mana and at what moment does a gap appear? How to dig into that gap.
Are these words arrogant? No, not arrogant.
In fact, Charlotte was currently recognizing everything in this space only through ‘flame’.
“……!”
“Hello.”
This time it was Charlotte who said hello.
You can win. Now, she could definitely beat Valerie.
“You… what?”
The moment Valerie twisted her body, the heat that spread around Charlotte grasped everything about Valerie.
Before she could draw her magic circle with her fingertips, Charlotte rather accelerated her speed. Rushed Valerie like a bull with her shoulder.
Patching—!
With a strong collision, Valerie is pushed aside. It was a natural procedure for the magic circle he had drawn to be destroyed.
Evidently bewildered eyes. Those pupils belonged to Valerie.
“…What, what?”
It has changed so much that I don’t even think it’s the same person.
The movement was so fast and natural that it was hard to see even with the naked eye aided by mana.
“In the meantime… Did you embed? That curse?”
‘Nonsense.’
Nonsense. Valerie couldn’t think of anything else.
It is said that it is difficult even for demons to quickly embody the power that comes at the cost of a curse.
“No way, no way, no way!”
Valerie runs at Charlotte once again. A violent howling elemental of wind strikes Charlotte.
‘Slow.’
Feeling slow for some reason, Charlotte took a deep breath.
It was more powerful than any magic I had dealt with so far, and it had sophistication that completely excluded the wind element’s disadvantage of scattering.
However.
Today’s Charlotte was confident that she could overcome it.
A red magic circle began to appear next to Charlotte.
Smooth, but never slow.
The magic circle was completed as the circuits intertwined at high speed. This happened before Valerie’s wind element reached Charlotte.
‘Even if I can’t catch it, it’s fine.’
Even if Valerie’s strike was stronger in the end, even if my attack was evaluated as insignificant, even if I fell because of it.
I’m fine now.
The girl did not learn the belief that she would never fall, but because she learned the belief that she could get up no matter how many times she falls.
A huge flame rises from the magic circle.
The flames descend as if riding on Valerie’s elemental wind.
Then it swallows it. It seemed that this flow was her own from the very beginning.
It might be impossible for Charlotte to emit magic as powerful as Valerie, but it was possible to use it against her like this.
“Oh my God… !”
President Violet jumped out of her seat and stood up.
‘At that young age? A failing grade student?’
Awakened to elemental fusion?
“Whoa.”
Adrian also let out a sigh of relief each time, but he couldn’t help the cold sweat running down his forehead.
A clean fusion of the fire and wind elements. Reverse use of power. Everyone was surprised by such a fact, but Valerie was by far the most surprised.
“My God… I can’t do this… This can’t be… !”
The wind was sharply wrapped around the outside. In other words, it becomes a story that the thin manamak was densely hit so that other elements could not intervene.
… But, in spite of this, how did you intervene so easily?
“It can’t be like this!”
However, even that cry, similar to a scream, is soon swallowed up by flames.
It burns.
It swallows everything.
Purple flames.
As if to burn up Valerie’s will, leaving nothing but ashes, flames engulfed the arena.
For Valerie, it was like a death sentence predicting the end of this match, and for Charlotte, it was like a declaration of war that she would definitely win this match.
“…And.”
From nob le mt l. co m
Michelle muttered involuntarily.
The girl from the Maynance family, who always pursued only noble and beautiful things, had no choice but to admit it. Charlotte’s flames are now more beautiful than anything else in this arena.
A noble from a fallen family.
From nob le mt l. co m
Michelle is a family honor she has never lost. Talent. She was the girl who had lost it all and was answering this world with a flame.
So.
“…Beautiful.”
I couldn’t help but mutter that.
Quaaa!
Charlotte’s magic and Valerie’s magic collide head-on.
The momentum was good, but was the magic that had just been embodied too difficult to defeat the demons? Valerie was still strong.
“You’re arrogant…. Cheeky! Cheeky, arrogant, arrogant, arrogant!”
Valerie poured her mana like mad, and Charlotte held it with full force.
‘Output, output is the problem.’
She could beat Charlotte if she could increase the output.
In the meantime, I remembered a word from Adrian. She had one word that Charlotte never forgot.
-Never forget this one stroke.
‘If you draw that stroke… ‘
Obviously can double her output. Then Valerie will fall and Charlotte will be victorious.
But how will she tan?
She was currently concentrating all her nerves, including her hands, on ‘holding on’.
‘No, there is a way.’
It’s reckless, but there was a way.
The way she draws magic circles on her body, Charlotte has suffered from minor illnesses since she was a child, so she already has tiny little magic circles all over her body, but —
There was only one place where the magic circle could be engraved.
‘Eye.’
The eyes that were blinded.
The eyeball has been thought of as a part of the body that does not exist.
‘Engrave.’
In that part, ‘will’ is engraved instead of ‘sight’. Her mind, driven to the limit, finally breaks the limit.
One stroke is drawn.
The sensation of tearing her eyes, burning sensation, and all kinds of pain rushed in, but instead Charlotte laughed.
Why? Rather, it felt like the world was seen more clearly. Because at this moment, Charlotte existed only as Charlotte.
Engrave.
Engrave!
The painful sensation soon subsides. Rather, it is as if the magic circle engraved in her eyes caresses her eyes.
It looked like tears of blood were flowing, but it didn’t matter. Because this will vaporize it too.
‘This is… the real me A true attitude toward magic.’
The flame burns and burns again. A flame that burns even flames.
I can feel it completely. What can be contained in the flames, and what you have contained.
That will leads to victory.
It is the only way to victory.
To win.
It was so simple. It’s just that the existence of me, and the path I’ve walked, is passed through to the other person.
Yes. This is Charlotte Forte.
Hwaaagh!
The flames finally began to cover Valerie’s body. Green things have long since been eroded by purple.
“Uh, how? How the hell!”
Valerie’s eyes widened.
“Kyaaah! aaagh!”
Valerie’s body began to burn. With a maniacal scream, Valerie quickly collapsed.
“I… “
As Charlotte muttered, Valerie looked into the girl’s eyes.
The pentagram. Red eyes of a girl with a star-shaped magic circle. He realizes that he cannot win against the girl who is shedding bloody tears.
“…Charlotte, forte.”
Hwaaagh!
The flame never forgave Valerie.
Goddang that was hardcore, using her own eyes as the canvas 🧎
