Despite her disbelief, the gravity around her suddenly surged several times over.
“This is the ability of the Sacred Gear, ‘Demonic Eye Shackles – Gravity Jail.’ I can control the gravity wherever my gaze locks onto,” explained Liban Crocell.
“Sacred Gear?” Siris showed a surprised expression on her face as she hadn’t expected her opponent to also possess a Sacred Gear.
“I’m a half-breed born from the union of the House of Crocell and a human mage. I was fortunate enough to be bestowed with the power of a Sacred Gear by God.”
“It was really close just now. Your attack was too intense, and I almost didn’t have time to activate my Sacred Gear,” Liban Crocell admitted, his face still bearing traces of fear. He had come dangerously close to being taken out.
“Tch!” Siris thought to herself that it was a pity. But at the same time, she couldn’t help but look troubled.
At this moment, she felt extremely heavy, and her ability to exert her full strength was undoubtedly greatly diminished. Just when victory seemed within reach, unexpected twists occurred.
“Although I don’t discriminate against women, being in such a pathetic state in front of my own King and such a large audience is quite embarrassing on my end too.”
“Knight Siris, brace yourself. It’s time for my counterattack!”
Gripping his Longsword, Liban Crocell had a serious expression on his face as he spoke.
“Come!”
Her eyes glinted with sharpness as Siris didn’t show a trace of fear in her.
Even if her opponent had the power of a Sacred Gear, she was determined to defeat him and offer victory to her Lord Tenraku.
“Magical Swordskill · Stab!”
The tip of the Longsword unfolded a layer of magic, and Liban Crocell thrust his sword.
But it wasn’t just one thrust; it was a multitude of countless thrusts!
Liban Crocell was a skilled Magical Sword user and he is proficient in both swordsmanship and magic. As the countless sword shadows whizzed toward her, Siris’ scalp tingled as she hastily swung her Holy Sword to block the barrage.
However, trapped by gravity several times stronger than usual, the girl couldn’t unleash her full strength. Her movements were sluggish, and before long, her body bore several bloody wounds from the onslaught.
“Oh, oh, oh oh oh!”
One-sided domination was boring. Indeed, the twists and turns in the battle were the most exciting, and the entire viewing arena outside the separate dimension erupted into thunderous cheers.
Karlamine was locked in a fierce battle, and Siris was falling behind. For a while, the situation became highly unfavorable for Tenraku’s Knights.
“I hope Karlamine and Siris are alright…”
Watching the battle in the separate dimension, Ile and Nel’s faces were filled with tension. Even Yubelluna and Xuelan couldn’t help but worry about their sisters.
Standing at the forefront of the floating platform, Tenraku’s expression remained unchanged. Even if they were to ultimately lose, he would watch over his Knights’ battle.
However, even though they were in a crisis, Tenraku didn’t believe that his Knights would lose. Because—
They were the Knights of Kamiya Tenraku!
…
“Ah!” Cried Siris in pain as her body was punctured with bloody wounds.
“Give up. Once my demonic eye locks onto you, you can’t even exert half of your strength. It’s impossible for you to win,” Liban Crocell said while pausing in his attacks.
As a gentleman, Liban Crocell didn’t have a taste for mistreating women. If his opponent were to surrender, he didn’t want to engage in any unseemly actions.
“Hah… hah…”
“No, I won’t give up. Even if it’s just this little bit…”
“I am the Knight of Lord Tenraku. I will fight until the very end, even if I can only use this much strength,” Siris panted as she spoke.
Although the intense pain coursing through her body nearly made her faint, Siris gritted her teeth and persisted. Lord Tenraku was still watching her, so she couldn’t fall. She absolutely couldn’t fall here!
“Your determination is truly admirable, but—”
“To achieve victory for my master, I will fight on, Knight Siris!”
With each word spoken, Siris managed to control her breathing slightly better. While the intense pain was still overwhelming, she was determined not to give in.
“Truly, a most impressive will. However—”
“Get offended by me if you must, but, Knight Siris, you’ve lost!” Liban Crocell declared.
Since the opponent was determined to go this far, there was nothing else Liban Crocell could do. Gripping his Longsword, he prepared to attack Siris once again.
Zi Zi Zi…
Bearing the immense weight, Siris desperately raised her Holy Sword to fend off Liban Crocell’s attacks and sparks flew as their blades clashed in the air.
But at that moment, Siris’s body suddenly froze—
Her body felt lighter!
There was no mistake. In the instant they passed by each other, Siris distinctly felt the pressure on her body disappears!
However, when Liban Crocell turned to lock onto her once more, that oppressive feeling returned.
“It’s his gaze!”
A thought flashed through Siris’ mind as this happened. The opponent had mentioned that his Sacred Gear had the power to control gravity by locking onto a specific location with his gaze.
In other words, as long as she blocked his line of sight, she could nullify his ability!
Without hesitation, Siris swung her Holy Sword downward. But instead of attacking Liban Crocell, she struck the ground beneath her.
Hong Long!!!
With a loud boom, dust and debris flew into the air and a smile crept onto Siris’ face.
“Just as I thought!”
Because the dust obscured his view, Liban Crocell couldn’t lock onto her anymore and the oppressive feeling vanished once again.
Boosted by her discovery, and knowing how to counter her enemy, Siris swung her Holy Sword, releasing Sword Energy that fell all around Liban Crocell, not directly attacking him.
Hong Hong Hong Hong Hong!!!
Explosions echoed in the surrounding, and Liban Crocell’s figure became buried within a cloud of dust.
“Darn, did she catch on?” Realizing that his opponent had discovered the weakness of his Sacred Gear, Liban Crocell’s expression soured. He unfolded a layer of magic to disperse the obstructing dust.
However—
Clang!
Siris charged, her sword swinging fiercely toward Liban Crocell. He had no choice but to abandon his magic and use his sword to block.
“Demonic Eye Shackles – Gravity Jail!” Activating his Sacred Gear’s ability, Liban Crocell attempted to lock onto her again, but Siris wasn’t about to give him another chance.
Activating her Knight’s extreme speed to its limits, Siris darted behind Liban Crocell almost instantaneously.
Qiang Qiang! Qiang Qiang! Clang!
With the cover of dust, Siris relentlessly attacked Liban Crocell. She had only one chance. Before his vision cleared, she had to defeat him!
“Where is she?!” Having sustained a few wounds himself, cold sweat formed on Liban Crocell’s forehead as he looked around.
Was this woman so reckless as to continue using extreme speed so intensively?!
“Left… Right… Behind!”
Carefully sensing his surroundings, Liban Crocell suddenly turned and thrust his sword.
“Ah!” Watching her body pierced by his Longsword, Siris’ lips parted in a dazed expression. She heaved a sigh of relief internally, but in the next moment, Liban Crocell’s eyes widened in horror.
“It’s over!” Siris’ voice echoed from behind him, and the pierced Siris in front of him twisted and distorted before vanishing entirely.
He had fallen for it!
“Ah!” It was too late for Liban Crocell to defend as he was directly struck by Siris’ sword, and he let out a pained scream as he was thrown backward.
