1353 Words
Because of the decisive actions, Kobato’s team is making. RedNight Guild was pushed into the corner of the battle. Licht their leader was inflicted with a huge amount of damage putting his HP bar to 50%.
Tenjou fearlessly counter-attacks Natsu whose in pursuit of her. The thunderous sounds echoed as their blade collied together. Putting all their strengths in each strikes their make.
Natsu moves forward to Tenjou rising his arms holding his sword.
“Blazing sword!” He shouted activating his skill. His sword goes ablaze in brilliant flames. The skills he used were powerful. If the skill made a contact with Tenjou. Tenjou will take a huge amount of damage.
“...”
But Natsu’s movements and sword stance were too predictable. Tenjou was trained in the real world. Even though doesn’t have many skills to support her actions. Her physical reflexes are the ones she can rely on.
She kicks Natsu’s elbow. Canceling the skill. The strength from Tenjou’s kick made Natsu out of balance.
“Malefic strike…”
Tenjou's blade’s lit up in scarlet red colors. Immediately Tenjou’s body moves in extreme speed forward to Natsu’s body. Both her blades pierced on his stomach.
“Guahhhh… I can’t just lose without making any points… Blazing sword!”
Natsu continues his skill and raises his arms attempting to s***h Tenjou who’s position is right next to his stomach. His struggle was futile. Tenjou twisted her blade and pulled upwards. Cutting Natsu’s body from their stomach toward his upper body. His head was cut in half.
“Cross s***h…”
Natsu’s HP goes 0%. Giving the first point to Kobato’s team.
After defeating Natsu Tenjou immediately kicks the ground leaping back to Kobato’s side. Kobato chanted healing skills and enhancement skills to Tenjou for her to recover from the damage she have taken.
“Hey! Hey! You said earlier that your team will win no matter what kind of battlefield is chosen right? What’s the matter with your face right now? Is it painful? Tenjou can just kill you alone. I don’t even have to move from my seat.”
Kobato decided to provoke Licht whose being healed by his teammates.
Licht’s gritted his teeth and curled his fist in a ball of anger. He knows that he should not belittle someone who manages to enter the summer cup.
“We're going for an all-out attack… No need for hesitation. We’re going to cut their heads.”
Licht said as he stood up. He drew his long sword and swings it horizontally in brute force.
“Ultimate skill: Dawn Horizon!”
A long blade of wind was launched to Kobato’s team. The wet grass was cut down together and the droplets of water on it sparkles as the wind blade passed by.
“Let me protect you, my lady… High-ranked guardian shield!”
The golden barrier comes to protect Kobato’s guild. After the skill landed. Nothing has happened to Kobato. She still wears a smile on her knowing that she already has won.
Gesturing her hand like a gun. Kobato released ten types of magic circles. The ten-type magic circle is one of the most powerful skills that can be used in the entire game. The only way to obtain it was to clear the famous grand quest of climbing the world tree dungeon. Before the summer cup started, Kobato trained herself and hired many players to finish the said quest. Making her one of the most powerful mages used in the game.
Once the ten-type skill was activated there is no way to avoid it.
Everyone watching was left astonished because this is the first time a player used the ten-type magic skill. Right at this moment, Kobato just made her legend.
“Ten type Magic: Heaven’s wrath.”
From the sky, intense light emerges. Illuminating the whole battlefield in instant. After the light disappeared, Ren Night Guild members are nowhere to be found. Standing not even moving an inch from her position. Kobato wins the battle.

“My lady is it really fine to reveal our trump card? We’re supposed to use it in the final round.”
“I hate being looked down upon. Especially by jerked face guys. Still, this is great because now everyone will know the true power I hold in this game. No one will ever mock us any more.”
Kobato said with a beaming smile.
“Kobato so fluffy… So fluffy.”
Tenjou hugs Kobato and places her cheeks to Kobato’s cheeks rubbing each other. A squishy sound can be heard. This kind of scene made the Midlock and Bloodray blush in happiness. Seeing how their team has this friendly bond with each other.
“So soft.”
“I can’t even tell if Tenjou is happy or not.”
Sena commented.
“She is expressionless as usual.”
“Tenjou is very happy… Very happy with Lady Kobato…” Tenjou said with her low tone voice. It put a smile on everyone. Kobato tried to push Tenjou, but Tenjou persisted and rubs her cheeks continuously to Kobato.
“So close!”
“This is Tenjou’s reward.”

After the battle was over. The winning team goes back to the square where the other players waiting for their turn was spectating. Like Kobato expected. Everyone was still shocked.
Except to one guild.
Arvam approached Kobato.
“That was splendid… I never think someone can wield the legendary skill.”
“Huhu… Are you planning to intimidate me with your strong presence? I’m afraid that won’t work for me. I’m born where people bow their heads to me. If you mind it, you can step away. You're blocking our path.”
Arvam slightly move his big body away and let Kobato and her friends passed by.
“I was interested… In the next stage, I’m going to crush you.”
It was a bold statement.
Arvam started a war against Kobato. Kobato hearing his words, stopped walking. She glared at Arvam and said: “I’m not interested in prize money, but fighting the number one player is quite fun. I won’t disappoint you… Number one.”
…
Moving back to the present.
It's August 29th and the day of the semi-finals. After training and planning. The demon king guild goes back to the square park. In there, only six teams are left. These six teams the semi-finalist and the players the three winners will compete in a three-way battle for the finals.
Ronie wasn’t confident enough and trembling. She might not see anyone from her position, but she knew that thousands of people are watching her online. The same goes for the other teams.
Yuki while standing met eyes with Rito whose on the opposite side of their team. Rito waved his hand, but instead of a friendly reply. Yuki gives him a blazing fire eye.
She still thinks Rito was a romantic rival between her and Kaede.
This startled Rito for a moment. He then turned his glance to Kaede whose smiled naturally talking with Ronie. Making her feel relaxed.
His glance took Kaede’s attention.
But Kaede immediately averted her eye’s away ignoring him.
This rejection put despair on his heart.
“... I’m not a stalker…”
“So that’s that girl you’re liking… Oh, that’s the sword demon Kaede. You have great taste. She has lots of guts on her.”
Setsuna said as he slap Rito’s back with a launching face.
“Then are you throwing the match for her?”
“That’s not an option. I’ll do my best to win this fight. No matter what. I’ll prove Kaede that I’m a capable man.”
“Then, we’re all good… Yua what’s the plan?”
Setsuna turned his glance to Yua. Whose busy equipping herself with her weapons.
“The perfect plan is no plan. Just don’t let yourself become a burden.”
Yua said and used the scope pointing at Kaede’s head.
“... I wonder whose luck is more powerful than mine… Or hers.”
