The Character I Created Is Obsessed With Me

111 – Determination (9)

“My lord. I think it would be better to quit.”

Kayla faced me with anxious eyes. She is not only her.

Erina looked at Kayla with her icy eyes.

Celica was also fidgeting and looking at us alternately.

But I had no intention of reversing my decision.

“Don’t worry. Since Celica is there, even if she is injured, she can be treated right away.”

“Ah. Yes Trust me… !”

Contrary to the strong reply, Celica’s voice was trembling.

It was clear why they were so agitated.

Early in the morning, it was because Kayla, who was doing her training, demanded sparring.

If she makes even the slightest mistake, I will be seriously hurt.

Of course, I didn’t mean sparring thoughtlessly.

“Never attack the face or neck. And so are the vitals.”

It would have been difficult if I had been seriously injured. After making a proper rule, I decided to fight.

Even if I got hurt, I could feel relieved because Celica was there.

But despite my words, Kayla was hesitant.

“Kayla. I want to see how strong I have become.”

“Can’t I just block it unilaterally?”

I shook my head at her words. Erina was too strong. Celica was too weak.

I definitely thought that if it was Kayla, she would be a good enough opponent.

But what would be the point of unilaterally pushing Kayla?

Finally, Kayla also deployed her magic circle. But she was still rather small in size, as if she had not properly made up her mind.

“Then let’s go.”

“Yes… !”

As soon as she finished speaking, she drew her sword and froze her blade, turning it into her club.

It was at a disadvantage if distance was given against the mage. Close combat had the best odds.

Kyla knew that too. But she just watched me approach.

It seemed that I should go first.

He raised his mana to the limit. Her light club grew larger and transformed into her two-handed mace.

Only then did Kayla feel her sense of danger, straighten her posture and spread her magic circle wide.

But it’s already too late. The ice blunt weapon wielded with the wind shattered the defense shield.

“Sir… !”

As it was, we had to continue the hand-to-hand combat, but we decided to step back.

Kayla just rolled on her floor and got out of her seat. She just watched it.

She also looked at me with a complicated expression, perhaps realizing that I had looked after her.

“Kayla. I have to be strong.”

“… All right.”

Kayla corrected her stance, as if she had finally made up her mind to do it right.

Kayla kept her distance and did not move. It’s an intention to drag the time until I’m exhausted.

It was the perfect way to subdue me without hurting me as much as possible.

Of course, I couldn’t just be suffering. After melting the stick, he infused magical power into the blade and froze it thin.

The sharpened ice blade created frost on the floor.

But Kayla was unfazed.

Wild flames soared from the magic circles in both hands. I spread a curtain of fire to keep me from approaching.

‘Since it already has the power of freezing, the cold won’t work.’

Looking at the compatibility, I was at a disadvantage. No matter how cold it is, it will all melt in Kayla’s flames.

Then there is only one way. Closing the distance and inducing melee.

‘No matter how much fire it is, it’s just magic.’

Watching Erina fight, I felt many things.

A scene where the snow woman throws the iceberg in two even in the snowy mountain. If you had the power, it wasn’t impossible to cut your mana.

As Kayla chanted her magic, she ran into the fire pit.

She blew her magic into her sword and with all her might cut her veil horizontally.

At the same time, her tinnitus rang and a hot wind hit her body.

The air where the haze had risen parted. She squeezed through the gap and broke through the fire curtain.

“Ah… !”

Kayla had an expression of surprise that she didn’t expect. She held her sword straight to her shoulder.

Chaeng!

She raised her arms in haste, and the scales on her arms saved her.

She then raised her shield and slammed it down to her corner. But even this was blocked.

Kyla, who was taken aback for a moment, quickly regained her posture. She tried to deviate from the shield’s path and spread her magic circle.

She couldn’t give her time to chant her magic. She continued her streak.

“Huh… !”

She swung her sword and shield mercilessly. However, she was blocked every time by Kayla’s martial arts.

Her bloody metal sound echoed in the fierce battle.

Kayla, who was passive at first, was gradually showing her skills.

From noble mtl dot com

“If you look at me, I will lose.”

“… I have never seen it.”

Kyla must have sensed this from the previous workshop. She and I were on equal footing.

Although inferior to her in terms of magic, they were almost equal in terms of her strength.

As her sword hovered in the air, a small magic circle shone in Kayla’s hand. Then a small ember flickered in the air.

She immediately raised her shield and covered her body. After a few seconds, an explosion occurred with a roar.

While thick smoke obscured the view, the distance widened slightly.

She quickly channeled her magic and turned her sword into her ice spear.

Fire engulfed the ice as she thrust out her spear. The sharp edge of the spear gradually began to dull.

“I can’t even use ice at all.”

“I am dealing with you with all my heart, as your lord wants.”

That’s right. In fact, the reason why he suddenly challenged Kayla to a duel was also to learn how to overcome her compatibility.

The next four heavenly kings to face are people who handle fire like Kayla. He had to gain experience in advance, even now.

The ice ability was just an auxiliary means anyway. In the end, the only skill I can offer is swordsmanship.

In order to fight Kayla properly, she made flame whips with both of her hands.

I chased the snake-like stream of fire with my eyes. It was difficult to measure the range and the path was difficult to predict.

It was a tricky skill from the opponent’s point of view. I thought I knew why Kayla used it as her main specialty.

But the flame whip wasn’t all-powerful either. I held the hilt short and increased my speed.

He stabbed his sword while blocking the flame whip that was mercilessly wielded with his shield. Both Kayla and I allowed each other to attack.

My right arm was hot as if it had been burned. He endured the throbbing pain and focused his mind.

In the midst of the increasingly overheated sparring, Kayla faced me with a nervous expression.

The shorter the distance, the simpler the path of the whip. In contrast, the blade got faster and faster.

“Sir… ?!”

Then the opportunity came. Backing her up, Kayla hesitated, not seeing the stone beak below her.

She immediately flung her body with her shield in front. Her whip of flames passed down her back, but without her pain.

He pushed Kayla away with her shield. Losing her balance, she was pushed back and fell to her floor.

Immediately, a warm beam of light illuminated the surroundings.

“Please stop now!”

At Celica’s voice, she immediately put down her shield and her longsword.

She was still vague about deciding whether to win or lose, but that was enough.

Kayla was looking up at me with her fisheye dumbfounded. She held out her hand to her with a smile.

“Are you okay?”

“Ah, yes… ! There are no injuries.”

Cayla stood up holding my hand, looking bewildered at her, but she immediately lowered her head.

“I lost.”

“No. It was a draw.”

“That’s not true. I am defeated.”

She said she lost, but Kayla showed no resentment. Rather, she was looking at me with a daunting expression.

When I first met her, I wasn’t this strong. At most, she struggled against the monsters in the capital.

But now it has definitely changed. Although it is only couplets, she has risen to a level with Kayla.

“Good job.”

Erina, who was watching her everything, glared at Kayla with her sharp eyes.

Her cold expression melted as I held her hand towards her.

But Erina asked me with a sad expression.

“Do you have any plans to compete with me?”

I hesitated for a moment at her request.

Shall we take this opportunity to hang out with Erina? Or should I just skip it?

Before answering, Kayla stepped forward.

“My lord is exhausted.”

“Go away.”

Erina snarled in a hostile voice and fired at her.

She pulled Erina away to separate the two who were about to face off again.

“Do you want to fight alongside me?”

“Yes. I want to try it once.”

You would never want to see me hurt.

But Erina was waiting for my answer with a confident expression.

“Then let’s do it lightly.”

“Yes! Got it!”

Kayla’s complexion turned pale at my words. But she told her not to worry.

I’m sure he won’t be able to beat Erina. Still, it seemed like it would be a good experience to gauge the gap once.

“Don’t worry. I won’t use a long sword.”

Instead of putting down her longsword, Erina pulled out the dagger she was wearing on her leg.

An ordinary double-edged dagger. Unlike the long sword, which is a rare item, it is actually just a decoration for the purpose of adornment.

But now it has transformed into a more threatening weapon than anything else.

“You know the rules, right? You must never aim for the vitals.”

“I know.”

Erina and I straightened our postures while looking at each other.

How can I beat Erina? No, can she hold out even a little longer?

First of all, I calmly spread the distance and then swung the sword at an appropriate distance.

Even in the raging cold, Erina was unmoved. With the slightest movement she slashed her blade with her dagger.

She wielded a dagger lightly, but her shock to me was heavy.

“I have no intention of doing it properly.”

“Of course. I can’t see you getting hurt.”

Unlike Erina, I had no intention of looking after her. Raising her magical power to the limit, it froze her shield.

Icicles grew on the surface of the shield and turned into sharp thorns.

Erina left her seat with a slightly surprised expression.

She drove her into her corner just as she was. When my back touched a tree in the forest, I had no place to retreat.

But Erina was calmly watching me. She held my shield in the gap of an instant.

When he struck the shield with his dagger, all the icicles that had been stuck like thorns shattered into pieces.

It didn’t stop there. He took the shield and put it down lightly.

“I don’t have a shield anymore.”

Erina smiled and held out her hand. She quickly escaped her grasp and swung her sword, only to be intercepted by her dagger.

Clearly, the person cornered was Erina. But she was the one who was really cornered.

After a pointless sum, her stamina drained. At one point, Erina instantly grabbed her blade and twisted it.

Just like that, the hilt slipped out of her hand. Having lost neither my shield nor my sword, I had no means of resistance any more.

Erina picked her up and lifted her body as it was so that I couldn’t resist.

With her in her arms, I raised my hand.

“I lost.”

At my declaration of surrender, Erina smiled happily. She said in a confident voice.

“I told you. I will definitely protect you.”

Only then did I realize why Erina wanted to fight with me.

It seems that he wanted to convey the conviction that he would protect me no matter what moment came.

“Yeah. That’s great.”

“Yes. Always trust me and watch over me.”

Of course, I didn’t really come forward either. I didn’t expect it because I knew that I would lose no matter what.

However, they were defeated by an overwhelming margin. Will the day come when he surpasses Erina?

‘It will be difficult to catch up in a short period of time.’

Erina, knowing my feelings, looked down at me in her arms.

After bringing her face close to hers, he kissed her on the lips.

“Because I won. Is this enough?”

“Yes. I understand. Drop me off.”

Fortunately, Erina calmly put me down. I came down safely and brushed the dust off my body.

In the meantime, Kayla handed me a sword and shield. It seems that I picked up my weapons that were off the floor instead.

While receiving the sword and shield, I checked Kayla’s complexion.

“Kayla. I’m fine.”

“…Yes. I’m really glad.”

Unlike earlier, Kayla was grinding her teeth with a distorted expression.

Looking at her appearance, Erina laughed as if it were ridiculous.

Amidst the cold deaths, Celica stepped out.

“I-I’ll stop now. I think this is a good enough sparring!”

The atmosphere softened at Celica’s words. Erina nodded quietly and clung to me.

Kyla also made a bitter expression with her head turned away.

“Okay. Let’s go back soon.”

The sparring ended with only such an unpleasant feeling left.
