226 – Maiev
Maiev and Selpen stood facing each other in the stadium.
Selpen said, combing his hair with a comb.
“It’s not flan. “He would have said he wanted to stick with Flann.”
It wasn’t that Maiev hadn’t heard Selpen’s remarks like that. However, he only decided to come up to the stadium like this because he heard it.
Selpen slightly lowered his waist and continued speaking while looking up at Maiev as if to intimidate her.
“You even seem a little nervous?”
Maiev looked down motionlessly at Selpen, who was openly provoking her. And he answered with expressionless eyes that seemed to have no emotion at all.
“I was nervous, though.”
“Hmm?”
Selpen’s eyes opened a little wider, as he had never expected that he would admit it so easily.
After a while, the pink-haired capital knight bursts into laughter.
“This is the first time I’ve heard you say you’re nervous.”
“There is no reason to lie.”
“That’s right. It’s nice to be honest. “I also like straight lines~”
Selpen nodded and continued speaking.
“Then why did you bother to come forward? Is it better to sell first? Or not…. “What did you want to protect Flan?”
“But.”
Maiev’s tone cut off Selpen’s words.
“I’m not saying I was nervous because I thought I would lose to them.”
It wasn’t a lie.
Selpen’s unique ability is ‘enchantment’. And he said he hopes for Plan as a match against Daejeon. Because Maiev was worried about such things, she went up to the stadium.
“… Oh?”
Selpen smiled slightly and took a step behind her. In fact, Maiev’s eyes were full of fighting spirit, which became a catalyst that further stimulated the capital knight’s interest.
“Well then, is there any reason to be nervous?”
“It’s power control.”
“….”
The smile on Selpen’s face grew stronger. She continued as she combed her hair with her comb.
“Now that means…. So, since you are stronger than me as a monk, I am worried about controlling your strength. Well, it only sounds like that. “Is it true?”
Maiev nodded his head slowly.
“It’s somewhat similar.”
Maiev slowly closed and opened her eyes. Those eyes had a lifeless glow that didn’t seem human.
Unlike others who simply chased after victory, the current Maiev had one more limitation.
‘Blood demon.’
He was born with it.
Maiev was not born as a blood demon because she wanted to, but that did not mean she could escape this birth.
At one time, she was proud of her origin as a blood noble.
She was born as a member of the void, and as she continued the princess’s will to rule the continent, she believed herself to be more useful than anyone else in the world and driven by a grand goal.
But now it is different.
Plan.
She wanted to enjoy her human life with him….
“I’m ready.”
Selpen said as he continued to comb her hair.
“There’s a cockier side to you than I thought. Okay.”
As the water knight shook his head from side to side, his well-combed pink hair was shiny and shiny. Selpen tossed her tail comb into the sky.
The moment Maiev’s eyes turned to the tail comb bouncing high up there.
Boom!
Something plunged into Maiev’s arms like a flash of lightning. It was a tremendous surprise attack.
“!”
Kuung─!
Maiev quickly waved her hands upward. An ink-like line is drawn vertically in the air, deflecting her sword.
“Hmm….”
Maiev spurted her off the ground and stepped behind her, swallowing her dry saliva.
It was obvious that she would attack after throwing the comb. But in other words, even though she was aware of it all, it was best for her to deal with it this way.
Oh my!
Then, something surprising happened before her eyes.
“What… !”
The line of the world of fire drawn by Maiev was proudly cut in half in front of Selpen’s blunt sword.
‘It can’t be like that?’
Oh my!
This time, when Selpen drew a horizontal line with her sword, the line that Maiev had drawn like her ink painting was broken. It was something that Maiev could not easily understand, at least with her common sense.
Maiev frowned, focusing on her observation.
Then, something new appeared.
‘Being cut off…. Is it a little different?’
Looking closely, the ink line was not simply cut off.
‘You’re getting out of the way yourself.’
She thought the line was flying at high speed and breaking, but when she looked closely, she could see that the ink line was moving on its own as if trying to avoid Selpen’s sword.
Selpen smiled triumphantly.
“Did you notice?”
Nettlefish!
Selpen’s incredibly fast sword struck horizontally once again. All Maiev had to do was to bend her body backwards enough to break her back.
While rolling behind her and getting into her position, Selpen continued speaking.
“Attraction doesn’t just apply to people.”
“….”
Maiev took a deep breath, and Selpen took out her tail comb and combed her hair with a triumphant look on her face.
“Even the lines you draw are influenced by fascination. If you like me…. “You understand without me having to tell you which one you will follow as your master, right?”
“That’s an absurd ability.”
Maiev muttered as she traced her fishy lips.
She knew that unique abilities were far beyond her common sense, but she never thought it would be like this. The calculations in her head become more complicated in one way or another.
‘If this is the case, magic has no meaning.’
Mana is a sophisticated power that flows as if it has its own will. If she lost that control due to Selpen’s charm, no matter what magic she used, it would be poison to Maiev.
‘Black magic is also impossible….’
Hit the opponent’s vital spot and block all attacks coming towards you. It was so easy in theory, but I couldn’t put it into action.
“Have you given up already?”
Selpen struck her sword vertically.
Huh!
The blade of the sword shines brightly in the sunlight above the stadium. A silver solid line is drawn vertically, drawing a clear trace. It was a huge blow.
But Maiev did not give up yet.
Puck!
Maiev’s palm moved quickly and pushed away her Selpen’s wrist.
Wow!
There was a sound as if Maiev’s wrist was being broken due to the force, but she still did not allow the sword strike.
“What? Are you trying to compete with martial arts? “A wizard?”
Selpen continued his swordsmanship as if it was laughable.
Instead of answering, Maiev just continued to move her body. If you hit her joints like her wrist or shoulder well, she won’t have her body cut into pieces by the sword anyway.
But this time, just as she was about to flick her wrist away, Selpen’s knee suddenly hit her abdomen.
Pow!
“Oops!”
Maiev rolled several times on her floor, feeling like she was going to vomit. She immediately got up and corrected her posture, but she was already in a state of complete disrepair.
“Two.”
Maiev coughed out a lump of blood. She was covered in dust and there was blood around her mouth, but the look in her eyes as she stared at her cell pen showed no signs of weakness.
Selpen nodded her head quietly.
“What are you holding on to? “A wizard.”
But this time she didn’t sound teasing.
“Amazing.”
There was no way she could not be seen by Selpen. As soon as she noticed that her magic was being nullified by her enchantment, Maiev stopped using her magic.
She tried to deal with herself only with her martial arts skills, which had a solid foundation. She was praiseworthy in that she laid down the basics of martial arts, and in that she boldly gave up magic.
“I was so disappointed that I couldn’t fight with Flann….”
Selpen grinned.
“… I’ll be satisfied. “This was also fun in its own way.”
“Stop being cocky.”

“There seems to be something wrong with her mouth. Well, wait. “I won’t do anything like dragging things out anymore.”
At the same time, Selpen’s energy began to become even more intense. It was so hard that the ground beneath her feet was dented.
Faaat!
Finally, Selpen lifted her body into the air.
Just as Maiev had drawn out the world of her painting, the long sword of her Selpen began to trace her path in the air. It is held in the air and then shot out at once.
“Maiev!”
Becky and Trixie shouted with wide eyes.
The audience was also shocked. Even applying her own energy onto her sword was amazing, and shooting it out like a projectile was an indescribably advanced state.
Swords that seemed to cut through the entire space, techniques that even a single knight could never imitate, began pouring down at the defenseless Maiev.
