But the red energy crushed the artifact with the shield, as if crushing a beer can.
The artifact exploded and scattered debris everywhere.
Realizing that it was difficult to defend only with the artifacts, Andras continued his offensive by maintaining a safe distance.
A shrewd attack that took advantage of the distance put Lia on the defensive again.
Lia criticized Andras for his way of fighting with sarcasm.
“Aren’t you too scared? Do you think it’ll be fun to fight if you just run away like that?”
“I won’t fall for such childish provocations. And it’s not a running away, it’s a strategic move.”
Andras calmly responded to Lia’s provocation.
And he continued to undermine Lia’s power with a thorough outfighter strategy.
At that time, Lia, who had been looking for artifacts, suddenly turned around and rushed toward Andras.
It was a surprise attack aimed at a situation where Andras was far from the artifact.
Lia quickly reached the corner of Andras, leaving a red afterimage.
But…
“I expected you would come out like this!”
Boom Boom!
Woohoo!
Artifacts hidden on the ground around Andras appeared at the same time.
In an instant, they surrounded Lia’s body and deployed a shield.
As if caught in a trap, Lia was trapped in a shield deployed by artifacts.
“That’s it, Ms.Lia.”
“You really think that’s it?”
“The design is perfect. Quit the pointless resistance…?!”
Lia showed an artifact held in her right hand.
As soon as Andras saw it, his expression turned pale.
“Oh, how did you? ”
“The flies are a little bit more annoying, but the way they are is the same”
“Ms.Lia, calm down, slowly put down the artifact…..”
– kwajik! – pajijijik
Liane smashed the artifact in her hand with a wicked smile.
“Ah..No,No,Noooooooooooooo”
At the same time as his scream, the artifacts that were spreading the shield stopped working
“ It’s over.”
“What?”
“Now that the most important Artifact is broken, it will be harder for Andras to fight.”
” What’s happening? Didn’t Andras overpower Lia a few seconds ago?”
Kaneff placed the empty beer can on the table and continued.
“On the surface, Yes. Andras anticipated Lia’s surprise attack and dug her a trap, but Lia took advantage of it and exploited her opponent’s weakness.”
“…?”
“At first glance, it might look like each artifact is acting on its own command, but in fact, there’s a command artifact that takes orders to control the artifacts around it.”
“Uh… is that so? Didn’t they all just look the same?”
“Of course they will look the same. Where in the world is a fool who exposes his weaknesses openly?”
“But what does it mean by Lia taking advantage of the trap?”
I asked with a puzzled look.
Kaneff gave me a pathetic look.
“If you had the most important and most important thing to protect, where would you put it?”
“Well, I will put it in a strong safe, or put it in my body…Ah”
Little by little, the battlefield was starting to make sense.
“When Lia jumped into the trap, she expected that there was an important artifact near Andras?”
“Yes, it was a plan to let Andras let down his guard, making him think it’s an offensive raid.”
“By the way, there were a lot of artifacts around Andras. How did she find the command artifact among them?”
“You see, fighters who have a lot of experience or people with great talent for fighting can find such things with just a glance……”
“What …?”
“Like a predator which instinctively knows, attacking which place would cause the opponent a fatal wound.”
Kaneff’s last words gave me a slight shudder.
Convinced of the opponent’s weakness with just intuition, and jumped into the trap in a disadvantageous situation…
The red energy-stained claws of Lia gave me the creeps as it was strangling my neck.
“In the first place, Andras was at a disadvantage. Destruction and order are extremely bad. But he did his best, though.”
“I didn’t want to say this, but it’s a lot more fun than I thought.”
“Hahaha. Isn’t it? There’s nothing like this!”
It was hard to take my eyes off the clash between the two, like watching a CG action scene of a blockbuster movie.
Plus the tension of the fight that could be felt from afar!
I wanted to wake Alfred, who was sleeping on the table.
Speranza, who I thought would be scared, also watched the fight until the end with her eyes wide open.
This must be why the ancient Romans built large Colosseum.
Andras returned with the remains of the artifact in both hands with drooping shoulders and sad eyes
I felt a little guilty and more sorry for him.
“Great Battle, Andras.”
“It was really cool.”
Despite the comfort of Speranza and me, Andras smiled artificially.
“Now that you’re a vice-captain, I thought I could just relax… …tsk, tsk!”
“I’m sorry, Mr. Kaneff.”
“Hiding weaknesses with strengths is a method that only works for the relatively weak. If you don’t change, you’ll just keep getting bitten.”
“I’ll just keep it in mind.”
Andras took the advice in an unusually heavy and serious manner.
Kaneff slowly rose from his seat.
Then he patted Andras on the shoulder.
That alone brightened Andras’ expression.
Kaneff, who walked out, stood in front of Lia.
A big smile formed around Lia’s mouth.
“You finally came. Leader”
“Hey, you look like you’ve had enough. Why don’t you call it a day and go in quietly?”
“I can’t leave without eating the most important dessert.”
“You ate a lot of delicious food earlier. It’s healthy to eat in moderation.”
“Didn’t you know? There’s a separate stomach for dessert.”
