Chapter 60
A loud cheer rang out as I walked through the passage from the waiting room to the arena .
“Do your best Arnos-chan!”
“If you’ve e this far you’ve won this Arnos! Get fired up!”
My parents voices ring out .
“You’re looking cool today Arnos-sama!”
“Instant death as usual please!”
“But if it’s instant death we won’t see Arnos-sama’s gallant figure which we haven’t seen in ages!”
“Then please take your time Arnos-sama!”
The voices of my fan union ring out like always .
“Next to appear is a member of the Lognos Demon Sword Association! The player who attained perfect victories without getting hurt! Ray Grandori!”
Ray appears out of the other passage .
Cheers ring out from the seats .
“He’s here! I’ve been waiting! The demonic sword saint!”
“Show that mixed-race brat the order of things!”
“Yeah! Show those unification faction idiots who are getting all excited how it is!”
The royal faction is rooting for Ray .
It’s turned into a proxy war between the unification faction and the royalist faction .
“Fumu . Sure is noisy . ”
“Isn’t it just . ”
Ray smiles his usual refreshing smile .
It was a natural smile that was full of eagerness . Has he made a breakthrough of some sort?
“Before the match starts the tournament organisers have something to inform you . ”
I thought they would use some petty tricks and here it es .
“The finals will be performed under special rules . Firstly, each player must wear a bracelet . ”
While the owl is talking guards e over to me and Ray .
“Left hand . ”
I hold out my hand and I’m given a glittering bracelet .
“Not only the sword but if the bracelet is destroyed you lose . ”
Fumu . It doesn’t seem like it cuts off your magic .
I take a closer look .
The . A tool from the age of myths .
It continuously absorbs the magic power of the person wearing it . For a normal person, this would make using magic almost impossible .
I’d have to break it to stop it but then I’d lose .
They are trying to chip away at my power I see .
“That bracelet isn’t a poor copy Arnos Voldigod . ”
A voice addressed only to me echoes directly in my head via Thought Transmission .
Following the magic trail, I look up and see it ing from the owl .
“That will continuously absorb your power and send it to another location . ”
It’s telling the truth . After activating my demon eyes I can see a magic line sending the magic somewhere .
“If you cut off your magic power Sheila’s spirit disease will worsen and she’ll die . ”
I see . Are you ready to wipe out the rumours that give Sheila life?
“And if you win Ray Grandori will have his origin erased . ”
Fumu . I have no doubt the contracted demon sword will work if it’s activated .
“Well then . ”
Did you say what you wanted to say? The owl cuts off .
We wear the bracelets under the eyes of the guards . Looking over at Ray’s bracelet I can see that its a fake . It’s not a magic tool .
“We can now begin the final match of the Deiruheido demon sword tournament! Begin!!”
Ray unsheathes Initeio and raises the pure white sword towards me . Drawing my sword a light metal sound rings out as I place it on Initeio in place of a greeting .
“I would have been so happy if I could have just swung my sword around without thinking . ”
“Fumu . I wouldn’t say its totally impossible though . ”
Ray lets out a vague smile .
“Can you fight with your magic being drained?”
“Don’t be reserved . If you go easy on me you’ll die . ”
“I thought so . ”
Ray sets up his sword an I lower mine like usual .
We are already in each others strike zone but neither of us could move .
There’s no gap in Ray’s defence . No matter where I strike I’ll be countered by that pure white sword .
It’s my style to break open any defence no matter how robust by sheer force but this time that won’t work since Initeio will cancel Hiding Magic and Arms Strengthening
