Chapter 160: Royal Palace Shocked!

Chapter 159: Royal Palace Shocked!

“Buzz!”

As the air shook, crimson magic power shined from both Shien and Lucy’s Holy Swords, buffeting the air with tempest like magic power.

The Hero from another world and the princess of the Kingdom both infused their magic powers into their respective Holy Swords, coating their Holy Swords with powerful magic edges.

The magic power of the two of them clashed in the air between them. The mighty clashing in the end ended without either side taking the advantage.

Lucy was quite surprised by that.

“So his magic power is actually that strong?”

Lucy really didn’t expect something like this would happen.

The reason was simple. Lucy simply had never met someone whose magic power could rival her own.

To put it in perspective, back when Lucy was born, her naturally born magic power was so great that it alerted the gods and caused one of the three great goddesses, the goddess of fate, to descend and bless her.

Given that, it’s easy to imagine just how terrifying Lucy’s magic power is.

Add to the fact that Lucy also has a skill that increases magic power, and said skill was level 7. When it comes to magic power, Lucy really hasn’t met anyone who could be a match for her.

If Lucy had to name any existence that she has met with magic power on the same scale as her, then the only one she likely could point to was the goddess of fate.

In other words, if it’s not someone on the same level of existence as the three great goddesses or the six great demon lords, then their magic power couldn’t possibly compete with Lucy’s.

But now, Shien did.

“This person. As expected, he’s no average Hero.”

Lucy had finally confirmed this point.

Originally, Lucy had planned on holding back a little.

[Magic Sword] isn’t like other skills. It’s a melee trump card, and its power is dependent on not only the skill level, but also magic power. Thus, Lucy, with her naturally born almighty magic power, had an enormous advantage.

But it’s exactly because her magic power was overly powerful that Lucy had never dared to infuse as much magic power as she wanted to into the [Magic Sword] skill. If she was even a little careless, it could result in untold damages.

However, looking at Shien’s own rising power as well as the growing blade of magic power on his Holy Sword, Lucy also went all out.

Thanks to that, this was the first time in Lucy’s life that she had used all her might, and infused all the magic power she had into her Holy Sword.

Lucy didn’t realize it, but her actions had ended up provoking Shien as well.

“She’s not planning on holding back at all anymore?”

Shien, with his [Magic Detection] skill, could more accurately feel just how much magic power Lucy was using. Thus, he grit his teeth, unwilling to show weakness, and increased the amount of magic power he himself was using.

Thus, the two of them couldn’t stop anymore. Due to having been provoked by the other side, their heads heated up and squeezed out all the magic power they had.

“Rumble…”

The ground finally started shaking.

…

“What’s going on?”

In the palace’s guest room, Vivian, who was talking with Diere and the rest, suddenly turned her head, looked toward the palace proper, and showed a surprised expression.

“That magic power…!?”

Diere also showed an enormous reaction along with a shift in her expressions.

“W-what’s happening?”

“S-such terrifying magic power…!”

Lumia and Melika’s faces had already turned completely white.

Within the palace itself, a lot of people were panicking too.

“Earthquake!?”

“No! It’s magic power!”

“What happened!?”

“The knights! Where are the knights!?”

Numerous nobles and knights were also in chaos.

Even in a richly decorated room, a pair of middle-aged men who where speaking suddenly both stopped and stood up.

“This is Lucy’s magic power?”

The one who spoke was a middle-aged man who wore royal robes, had a crown on his head, and held a gorgeous scepter in his hands.

“This is indeed her highness’s magic power.”

Before the previous man, a tall and strongly built man with a face like it was carved out of granite and holding a great sword over two meters tall affirmed with a spark in his eyes.

Of those two men, one gave off a royal presence, while the other was filled with the aura of a knight.

Those two felt Lucy’s magic power as well as a powerful magic power that matched Lucy’s. In response, their expressions turned solemn.

“Was Lucy attacked and is currently fighting?”

The royal looking man hand an ugly expression on his face.

“But this magic power doesn’t lose in comparison to her highness at all. Just what kind of existence attacked her highness?”

The knight looking man frowned.

The two exchanged a glance.

“Let’s go take a look, Aldia.” The royal looking man decided.

“No, allow me to go on my own. Your majesty should just wait here.”

The knight named Aldia didn’t even think about it before objecting. It seems that he didn’t want the one he called “your majesty” to face any potential danger.

However, his majesty was already set on his decision.

“Don’t underestimate me, Aldia. Even if I didn’t have the right to succeed the Holy Sword, I’m skill a proper Hero descendant. I won’t be said to be lacking the will and courage to right.” His majesty spoke decisively, “Let’s go. If some bastard really dared to infiltrate the palace and attempted to assassinate Lucy, then we absolutely won’t let them get away. The tragedy 10 years ago cannot be allowed to happen again.”

“… Understood.” Aldia was silent for a moment before nodding and speaking seriously, “Well the, please don’t get too far from me, your majesty King Ancilfrig.”

“Dont’ worry.” Ancilfrig showed a fearless smile, “With my Kingdom’s strongest knight protecting me, I doubt there’s anyone who could threaten my life.”

With those words, the two of them charged out of the room and, with amazing speed, headed toward the palace training grounds.

At the same time, many knights were also heading toward the palace training grounds. Even Vivian, Diere, Lumia, and Melika were doing the same.

All the while, the ground was still shaking. The magic power rising from the the palace training grounds was also becoming more and more terrifying.

Until at a certain moment, they exploded.

…

“Boooom…!”

As the ground shook stronger and stronger, two enormous blades of magic power capable of slitting the sky and earth alike stood facing each other.

Shien and Lucy had finally released all the magic power they had, raised their Holy Swords high into the air, allowing the enormous [Magic Swords] stand tall, scraping the very sky.

The air shook and moaned around them.

The magic power covering their bodies have completely transformed into violent pulses.

In this instant, Shien and Lucy had eyes only for their respective opponents. Their clashing gazes showed their strong wills.

Neither of them had any considerations of the consequences in their minds anymore.

All other thoughts were disregarded.

At this moment, the two of them had forgotten everything, with only a single thought in their minds.

And that was victory.

To win against this strongest opponent that the two of them had ever met in their lives.
