Chapter 46. Confrontation Valentia
"You're finally out, stupid girls!"
Valentia shouted at us as if she had been waiting for us.
"It is disrespectful to put this Lady in the closet, but what do you know about manners!"
So, who is she?
Valentia thinks she's famous. But so far, no one has reacted to it. If she was a celebrity or a well-known figure, there would be a little more of a stir.
Of course, the Ancient Blood is a well-known entity in a sense... Valentia's elegant appearance, clothes, and tone of voice make you feel something about it.
What does Valentia mean?
But now it wasn't a concern. Valentia brushed her hair from the shoulders with her hands and was proud.
"Now, how am I going to beat you up?"
Valentia had a mischievous smile, and Lucia and the others were nervous.
"Noelle, Sakuya, are you ready?"
Lucia and the others glanced at each other and nodded.
Their determined expressions shimmered in the sunlight from the sky. Noticing this, Valentia smiles.
" From the look on your face, it looks like you won't let me get away with it."
"Of course, we have a special trump card!"
"Then show me that trump card or something."
Valentia crosses her arms with plenty of time to spare. It's giving the first move to Lucia and the others.
She let them make the first move and she was full of gaps. This may lead to a winning chance.
Come on, what would you do... Lucia?
I braced myself to react to whatever happened. At the very least, I need to make sure I don't get caught up and don't get in the way of Lucia!
There was a moment of silence before Lucia and the others finally moved. The three of them... with a single movement.
"I'm sorry!"
"Huh?"
Me and Valentia's stunned voices overlapped. Like me, Valentia probably didn't expect this to happen.
"What? What... Why did you say?"
"I'm sorry for what I said earlier! I suddenly got upset in front of a noble Ancient Blood like you, and I involuntarily launched an attack! Even it's not hard to break my mystical art from someone so powerful as you!"
Lucia yells as she sits on the ground, and Noel and Sakuya follow.
"I'm embarrassed to proudly show off my creation magic against a real Ancient Blood! I'm sorry!"
" It was a shameful act to set up as masochist' slash you! I'm sorry for being a masochist!"
"I'm not a goddess!"
"I'm sorry to be a witch!"
The incomprehensible apology puzzles me and Valentia.
What are you talking about, these guys... A mysterious apology...
As expected, the three idiots are stupid. It's beyond imagination to do.
"No... Oh... Well... Well, if you apologize so much, you won't be in trouble..."
I was sweating while opening my mouth. Valentia seems to be wondering what to do with the brunt of her anger. Perhaps the mysterious apology works.
Surprisingly, is the first-hand Dogeza working? If that's the case, Lucia's strategy is spectacular. Still... They are doing... sucks. In the town square in the middle of the day, it's in the middle of the crowd, a serious dogeza in front of everyone.
The adventurers of the guild must have been watching this turn of events, but they had abandoned their pride. But in the end, it works. Valentia's head is cold and she doesn't seem to want to go on a rampage in town.
This is probably the way to get things out of the way. The only thing is to lose your pride. You'll be ridiculed by other adventurers for a while, but you'll still get what you've gained.
"Well,... I'll forgive you for your attitude this time. But if you are not punished for this, you will be disrespectful again."
Valentia said, looking away from Lucia and the others sitting on the ground.
The next moment.
"Sacred Reduce!"
Suddenly, Lucia screamed still on the ground. A glowing pattern appeared at Valentia's feet, and a light rose to envelop her body.
"What!? Mysticism...!? Is it the effect of nerfs...!"
"Not yet!"
This time, Noel screams while sitting on the ground. Chains crawled out of the space around Valentia, entangling her entire body instantly.
"My lords... do you do magic while sitting on the ground!?"
Lucia still didn't look up, but sat down and laughed back.
"This is my trump card! It's a surprise mystic technique that catches you off guard in Dogeza! When was I in training? Or When was I apologizing to my teacher? It was that moment of brilliance. How can I use mysticism arts in this position? I got the idea and secretly trained it to make it a thing!"
What a stupid trump card. It's not a good skill for someone with the glamorous title of goddess to do.
Noel, still sitting on the ground next to Lucia, shouted proudly.
"By the way, I was able to do it when I tried. I am a genius for using creation magic while sitting on the ground!"
Speaking of which, Noel, who called herself a genius, seems to have succeeded. Hearing this, Lucia said in a trembling voice.
"I need three years to learn...!"
Imagining the three years of Lucia sitting on the ground practicing mystical arts brought me to tears.
"Was the previous apology all a lie!?"
Finally, the three stood up and met Valentia's piercing gaze.
"What did you think? Would I leave a dangerous Ancient Blood like you alone? I'm going to seal you perfectly this time!"
Lucia seems to be already convinced of victory and points her finger at Valentia.
"You are weakened by my mystic magic, and Noelle's restraint magic stops you from moving. Sakuya unleashes a devastating blow! This time... You are going to slash her a hundred times! "
Lucia looks like a villain rather than a goddess. Her beautiful silver hair sparkled in the sunlight and her ridiculous smile.
"I haven't mastered the art of slashing while sitting on the ground yet, so excuse me while standing... Magic Sword, Scorching Flame Fire!"
Sakuya's sword is lit with a burning flame.
"..."
In a sudden pinch, Valentia's beautiful face was contorted with impatience.
"I'm going...!"
Sakuya jumped up and swung her sword down at Valentia's head. Everyone looked at this scene...
Valentia suddenly twisted her lips and laughed scornfully.
"I lieeeee!"
Valentia put magic into her body, the chains that restrained her burst off, blowing away the mystic magic that was shining at her feet.
"Gee!?"
I heard Lucia's startled screams. She probably didn't expect this.
"After all... You're not my opponent."
She stared at Sakuya's sword approaching from above and grasped the flaming blade with one hand.
"..."
The square falls silent as if it had been struck by water.
And Valentia...
"It's hot!"
She threw the sword, which was hotter than she expected at Sakuya.
"Damn."
As expected, Sakuya, deftly turned her body around to escape the impact and stood up.
"Earlier, I had lost my power due to my sleep, but now I'm..!"
"Yes... My chain lock was easily broken. Maybe you're stronger than before?"
To the bewildered Lucia and Noel, Valentia smiles back.
"Hahaha! Fools! I'm convinced now! Your mysticism, restraint magic, and magic swordsmanship are not at the level of Valentia! My magic power was not stable! A amount of time has passed since then. In other words, your chances of winning are zero!"
"What's that?!"
Lucia, who clearly understood the difference in ability, collapsed with a startled voice.
"Oh my God... If this was the case, I should have accepted the forgiveness before. - No, will you allow us to get now on? I don't want to be beaten!"
"I can't forgive you now! I'm beaten up! I'm going to destroy you! Get ready!"
Valentia sticks out her right hand and points her palm at it. Then, a strange power gathers in the palm that I can not understand. Overwhelming magical power is now gathering in Valentia's right hand.
"What's this magic power?"
Noel shook her voice in despair, and Valentia grinned.
"A girl who can handle the creation magic, look closely. Taste well. This is true creation magic! Come on, my axe! Metabolic Syndrome!"
In front of Valentia, a huge axe slowly forms.
She grasped the hilt of the great axe that had appeared, swung it lightly, and placed it on her shoulder.
"Rest assured... I'll take care of it. I'm going to end quickly!"
With her feet pounding the ground, Valentia soared into the sky.
