The night was cold... maybe too cold. I stirred with the unshakable feeling of something in the room. Up there! I looked up and found a weird looking masked dude on my ceiling. Great, i'm being attacked even at night now? Isn't the royal capital the safest place in the royal district? "Get down here if you came to fight and stop lazing about in my ceiling"
"Huh? You actually sensed my presence, not bad!" The masked guy came down and smiled.
"Hmph! The fact that you made it here means you defeated the guards at the gate and even the chamber maidens.... What is your motive?"
"Hehehe! You sure are straight forward, i like it. My name is Ray, I'm from diamond kingdom and....my motive? It's to kill you and take over Gold kingdom. I'll kill you first and then i'll kill the king." He laughed sinisterly. "But of course it will be boring to end the fight this early and i find you quite interesting, Could you tell me your name?"
"Don't you dare underestimate me you brat! I'll teach you never to mess with the royal family." I charged forward and landed a blow on the opponent, It took quite some effort but it was only able to leave a scratch on him. Damn it! He's strong
"Hey, that was a pretty interesting attack just now, I finally get why the captain was so eager to send me. However.... That kind of attackis ineffective against me." He charged forward too, i could feel the room pressing in on me. This power... it's strong but, i can neutralize it!
"Huh? You actually neutralized my attack? Not bad, not bad! Let's continue this somewhere spacious" "spatial magic: instant teleportation" He teleported us outside the capital.
"Screw you! I will continue to neutralize every last bit of magic in you" I gritted my teeth, this opponent should not be underestimated!
"Oh my! Feisty, i like it. I still can't understand why someone as capable as you can't manipulate magic, You only use offensive magic and physical combat."
"That's right, in a world where magic is everything, I was born without magical powers and i have been able to advance this far due to my sheer will power, now... die!!!" I used my suit power as well as my combat power to go all out. My opponent is formidable, however, based on our earlier encounter he is only good in long distance combat but if i could get closer...
"Slash!" Did i hit it?
"Hehehe! You're even better than Yami described you. It's been so long since i've been cornered, I guess it's time to get serious".
What? How? Not only did i use up all of my suit's energy, i also went all out but i just bruised him and i almost died from my own hit.
He charged forward using all kinds of magic, his attacks were fast and precise, i could only dodge. This is bad!
He landed a heavy blow and i would've died if i didn't use my suit to protect my heart.
I panted heavily.
"That's a nice suit you've got and it's a shame thati still have to kill you. you have really been a formidable opponent even without magic powers, therefore i'll kill you in a magnificious way"
He let down the final attack
No! I can't die!
"I'll fight till the very end so that no one will get hurt... Even if i die here today, as long as no one gets hurt, i'm okay." I charged forward
"That's really righteous, so stupid!, i'll kill you"
We faced each other head on, He severed my right hand and i bruised him badly on the arms, legs and head.
"Not bad peasant, but you must be reaching your limits especially without magic powers to provide reinforcements. In this world, no matter how powerful you might have grown, without magic powers you're nothing. Now, die!!" He let out his final war cry and i could sense that he hadn't gone all out in our previous encounters.
The blow hit me before i could think. I couldn't move. Will i really die here? As long as everyone's okay i'm fine? What kind of bullshit is that? I want to live too, i.. i don't want to die yet
Will i always be weak no matter what heights i have attained?
Is magic the only thing that matters in this world?
"Die!!" He finished me off in one strike
"She's got some nerve claiming to be a squad captain when she has no magic."
"Why did the general knight choose someone like her?"
"You'll never be great Elle, forget it"
"The fact that you're a swuad captain now doesn't change the fact that you're a loser who can't use magic, i wonder how your squad members feel"
Why? Why? Why?
I just wanted to survive.
