Lorelaia felt a strong sense of frustration.
This is normal. People will have this feeling when they encounter an opponent who is stronger than themselves, especially when the opponent is stronger than themselves in all aspects.
Lorelaia is a person without any shortcomings, and she is always proud of it. But Scathach is also a person without any shortcomings, and she is terribly strong in all aspects. More importantly, the two women have many similarities in character and experience.
Both were born in the Celtic cultural circle.
They are all born queens, born into the ruling class.
They are all peerless geniuses, possessing great power and standing at the top of their times.
They are all very arrogant and strong and will not cater to others.
There are many more besides this.
Unconsciously, Lorelaia compared herself with Scathach, and then helplessly discovered that she was not better than the other in any way (including appearance and figure). This feeling had never occurred to her since she was born.
It’s not like she hasn’t encountered setbacks before, but she has never encountered such a hopeless setback!
The low mood quickly reflected on the body. The offensive was still uninterrupted, but lacked the momentum to move forward. The magic power was still roaring, but the belief in victory was lost.
With a "bang", the two magic spears collided and swung backwards at the same time. Scathach's body did not retreat but moved forward and rushed into Loreleiya's arms. The two queens faced each other.
"What? Are you planning to give up now?"
"It's none of your business!"
Lorelaia, whose thoughts were seen through, threw a punch in anger, but Scathach easily dodged it. The overly clever step almost made Lorelaia fall.
I finally managed to keep my balance, and in a blink of an eye, those deep red eyes appeared before my eyes again.
"It has nothing to do with me. I just don't want such an outstanding talent to go astray. Listen, little girl, comparison and competition are human nature, but its meaning is not to breed negative emotions, make people give up on themselves or do some extreme actions, but to make people recognize themselves and grow better. Look there-"
Scathach pointed to the battlefield between Shinji and Altira. Because of the difference in experience, Shinji maintained an absolute advantage, but the suppressed Altira had no intention of giving up. Her eyes were still firm, her sword was still sharp, and her defense was tighter, giving Shinji no chance to subdue her.
This is growth. She drew experience from the battle just now and improved herself.
"Humans are not born strong. Everyone's strength, including me, is accumulated bit by bit. I won't say that it is stupid for you to compare me to others, because we have many similarities, but I hope I can be a driving force for progress, not a barrier. Your talent is not worse than mine. What you lack is accumulation and training. Besides, do you really think I am invincible?"
Flawless? How is that possible!
How can you be invulnerable if one hand is paralyzed
How can a demon that relies on others for its supplies be invulnerable
Even though she is the queen of the demon world, she is now just a servant and is injured.
—Huh
The chaos in his mind was cleared, and the scene in front of his eyes that was obscured by appearances suddenly became clear. Magic power that was even more exaggerated than that of the magic furnace radiated outward.
Scathach was forced to take two steps back, and nodded with a smile: "It seems that you have finally figured it out."
She really has no weaknesses, but that is the essence of the Shadow Kingdom, and she still has weaknesses now.
Restricted by her Lancer job, Scathach's own magic reserves are limited and its output power is also limited. Although Shinji is never stingy with the supply of magic, Scathach's magician ability is still greatly restricted, and she cannot use large-scale spells in battle.
There are no restrictions on her martial arts, but who can blame her for being injured and unable to lift one hand
The reason why Scathach treated Lorelaia like this was certainly out of her teacher's instinct, but also because this was the best she could do now.
"Why are you telling me this?" asked the Clock Tower Queen, who had regained her composure.
The Queen of Shadow Kingdom smiled as usual: "I told you before that I don't want you to go astray. As an educator, what makes me happiest is to see a talent like you shine."
"Aren't you afraid that I will recover and defeat or even kill you?"
Loreleiah raised her eyebrows habitually, and the pride that permeated her bones reminded Scathach of her past self and made her laugh.
"Shinji, what is my wish?"
"It's the hope that someone can actually kill you and end your eternity."
Shinji was somewhat helpless, but he still answered. Because he had seen Scathach's life, he never stopped her from beginning to end.
"Yes, I am not afraid of failure or death. I am only afraid that no one can make me fail or die."
The queen, who had already become an eternal being, pointed her gun to the sky and spoke loudly.
"Scathach, the warrior of the demon world, only wants death! Who among the heroes of the past and present can kill me?"
Her peerless grace is unparalleled not only in the world, but also throughout history.
"Then let me give it a try."
An even more heroic voice rang out, accompanied by thunder. King of Conquerors Iskandar once again boarded the chariot. Of course, he did not forget to bring Waver along with him.
Such outrageous behavior naturally caused Weber's protest.
"Idiot, what are you doing? This is not our business."
"You are the stupid one." Iskandar slapped Weber on the head without any hesitation. "This is a battlefield. We are allies of Miss Barthemelo. It is only natural for us to support them. Besides, have you forgotten that you have already helped the little girl once?"
"ah!"
It was only at this time that Waver realized that although his teacher's instinct had kicked in, he had objectively disrupted Shinji's tactics and provided support to Lorelea.
"Shinji, I'm sorry."
"There's nothing to apologize for. Now that we're here, this battle is inevitable."
Shinji shook his head, his attitude unusually calm, as if the King of Conquerors was not an enemy but one of his own.
The King of Conquerors gave a high evaluation of this declaration: "Oh, the little guy who pretended to be a ghost has become a warrior. The regret of not being able to fight a game ten years ago will be made up now."
"Go, Bull, AAAALaLaLaLaie!!!"
The sacred bull roared and the chariot galloped wildly, and the trajectory of the galloping just covered Scathach and Shinji at the same time. The ambitious Macedonian king wanted to capture both of them in one fell swoop.
At the same time, Lorelea and Altira also burst out with their ultimate magic power, using their most advantageous point to pin their opponents in place and not give them a chance to escape.
Seeing this, the master and the apprentice looked at each other, the master snapped his fingers, and Shinji whispered, "Do it."
The next moment, the chariot overturned.
