YLTESCIA: A Reincarnator's Tale in the Lands of Merusia (2)

Chapter 328: The Asura!

"Then, I'll be going now! Please watch me closely!" ［Yuna］

She clenched her hands into a fist and declared such words with her chest puffed with pride. Her footsteps soon resounded in the air, drowned out by the heavy creaking of the arena gates and soon, by the thundering clamor and chatter of the audience.

Yuna was filled with determination, however, the same couldn't be said for Grey. He has full trust in Yuna's skills, yet he still couldn't help but have worry brew in his heart, concerned about his beloved. After all, her opponent was...

-----------------------------------

... Quite powerful. It was no wonder he had been often referred to as the Champion's Rival. He has the skills to back it all up.

During the weeks they have been fighting in the Gran Colosseum, Yuna's proficiency in the sword has risen from 62% to 65%, a massive increase considering it has only been a couple of weeks. She was worthy of being called a prodigy.

However, even that 65% was still far from 74% which was almost at the "Advanced" level. The only way Yuna can equal her was to effectively use ice magic in conjunction with swordsmanship to overpower Elian. An easy-sounding fear which couldn't be any more difficult to pull off.

'Hmm... I wonder... Am I being overprotective again?' ［Grey］

There was not a need to worry so much. With the bright face she made whilst she stepped foot into the arena, he could only put his trust on her, his eyes glued on her as she went up the stage, heart now at rest.

"Wh-What's this, folks?! Am I just seeing things or is Her Highness now has two scabbards by her side?!" ［Konan］

"You're not wrong, partner! And not just her, His Grace also has four more blades hanging on his back! It seems like things are getting serious!" ［Terry］

"We have said it before, and we will say it again! This match will go down in the history of the Kingdomー No! The world! This match will be legendary!" ［Konan］

The commentators weren't exaggerating. Along the usual "Divine Sword", Yuna also now held the "Silversky Decapitator" in her hand, one of the Mythical-Grade swords Grey got as a prize for clearing the Labyrinth of flames. It was a special sword which empowers the ice attribute, perfect for Yuna.

On the other hand, Elian was equipped with six swords. Two were hanging by his sides and the other four by his back. All were of the Superior-Grade, costing dozens of millions of kiels. He sure was rich, I'll tell you that much.

"Whew～! This is the first time I'm seeing you use two swords, Your Highness. So you were a dual wielder as well?" ［Elian］

"Well, you could say that... Though, this is the first time I'm wielding two swords at the same time. I was inspired by your style yesterday, you see." ［Yuna］

"That isn't something you can decide on willy-nilly, you know? Dual wielding is much harder than it seems. You might regret acting so recklessly." ［Elian］
