Invicinble Colorless Butler

Chapter 238 31

After the battle started, Hikaru quickly took out a pair of daggers from his space storage and threw them at Azalia. But that attack could be easily dodged by her with a minimum of movement.

Hikaru already knew that his attack would not be able to hit Azalia. He did so only to distract Azalia's focus and attack her with another weapon. Hikaru activated his innate ability 'Master all Weapon'. He held a pair of swords and charged toward Azalia with astonishing speed.

"I apologize. Perhaps my attack will injure you!" Hikaru said before delivering consecutive slashes using the two swords in his hands to Azalia.

Azalia snorted coldly at Hikaru's words and easily dodged the attack just like before. She looked like she had no intention of countering Hikaru's attack and just dodged it.

Hikaru frowned as he didn't expect his attack to be dodged so easily. He changed his weapon again and took a spear from his space storage. Hikaru dealt dozens of stabs in one hit to Azalia.

Azalia raised her eyebrows, feeling the situation would become troublesome if she just kept dodging Hikaru's attacks in that fight. She didn't want to win easily against a hero because that would make the guests watching the match suspicious of her.

Azalia couldn't give up the fight because she sensed Raphael was keeping an eye on her. If she lost, Raphael would break her disguise, and the worst that could happen would be that the people in that place knew her identity as the divine race and would attack her.

If that were to happen, Azalia would have no other choice but to fight against them, and the war would break out. Their fight would probably force Ziel to interfere.

The thing that Azalia feared the most was that Ziel would side with those people against her. Azalia felt she would rather fight those people to the death than fight Ziel.

Because of that, Azalia decided to linger in the fight. She wanted the guests to see that her strength was slightly stronger than Hikaru's. Azalia clenched her fist and swung it towards Hikaru's spearhead.

"You will only hurt yourself if you do that!" Hikaru admits that Azalia is very strong, but he doesn't believe that Azalia can withstand the attack of his spear with her bare hands without coating it with mana or aura.

Hikaru didn't stop his attack and instead increased his strength. He wasn't being mean to a girl, but they were fighting right now, and one of them had to lose. Azalia's small fist and the tip of Hikaru's spear collided.

Booooooooommmmmmmm!

Hikaru had already imagined that Azalia's hand would be torn apart after colliding with his spearhead. But the event he imagined didn't come true because he felt his spear being pushed by an unreasonable force. Hikaru tried to hold it in, but he was blown away by that power.

Hikaru quickly stabilized himself and landed safely in the battle arena. He was still shocked and scared by the power of Azalia's punch. Hikaru saw Azalia carelessly swinging her punches, but her power's explosion could be that terrifying.

"I apologize for underestimating you, Miss Azalia. It looks like I'll have to put in all my strength if I want to win this battle!" Hikaru released the five-colored aura from his body and concentrated it on his spearhead.

"Go ahead and don't talk too much." Azalia replied coldly. She wanted Hikaru to quickly use his full strength to defeat him and finish the fight.

Hikaru narrowed his eyes at Azalia and shot like a bullet while thrusting his spear.

[Phoenix Cry]

Hikaru's spear was shrouded in flames and turned into a bird that flapped its wings accompanied by an ear-splitting loud cry.

Azalia was a little taken aback because she didn't expect Hikaru's attack to be so powerful and might injure her if she blocked it with her bare hands. So she decided to coat her fist with divine power, which she mixed with mana to disguise it and swung at Hikaru's attack.

Boooooooooooooooooooooommmmmmmmmmmm!

Their attacks collided, and a shockwave spread throughout the battle arena, causing the barrier to tremble. Hikaru was knocked back a dozen steps due to the clash of their attacks, while Azalia took only one step back.

"Amazing!" Hikaru said in awe after feeling his hands numb from their clashing attacks.

"As expected of a hero. But his strength is still far from Ziel's when I first met him." Azalia muttered and subconsciously smiled after remembering the first time they met.

"I can't lose! I will defeat that girl, win this match and prove my capacity as a hero." Hikaru gripped his spear tighter and charged forward to attack Azalia.

In the guest area for the people of the Great Pqimentia Academy, Merlick watched the match with interest. Not only because Hikaru's strength had exceeded his expectations but also because of Azalia's astonishing strength.

"This is weird. The girl could fight to a draw against Hikaru. No, she was suppressing Hikaru but not showing it openly. What's more, I don't know which race that girl is from. How can there be such a student in this academy." Merlick rubbed his chin, focused on Azalia's movements in the battle arena, and hoped he would know about Azalia's identity.

(Did you recognize her, Merlick?)

The person who asked using telepathy was King Leonida, and the person he was referring to in his question was Azalia.

(I still can't figure it out. But it was likely that the girl wasn't a native of the Clorius continent)

Merlick gave his guess about Azalia's origins.

(So ​​what you mean is that she is the same as the principal of Arcuz Grand Academy?)

King Leonida believed Merlick's words. He had known Merlick for a long time and had no doubts about his judgment.

(I'm sure they're not natives of the Clorius continent, but I feel like they're from a different race)

Merlick added an explanation.

(Then, should we move now and exterminate them? If so, I will tell this matter to the other kings)

King Leonida thought the same thing that Raphael had said at the opening of the inauguration ceremony. He also wanted to exterminate the foreign races that had malicious intent on this continent. King Leonida thought so after seeing the incident after the incident occurs due to the divine race.

(No. We can't do it now. We still don't know how strong Raphael and the girl are. Besides, the kings of the demi-human region might side with Raphael, making our situation even more disadvantageous. For now, we can only wait and watch the situation. If there is an opportunity, then we will act)

Merlick didn't want to take action as they were currently in the demi-human region. Raphael was the principal chosen by the four kingdom leaders in that territory. He didn't want them to fight in the tiger's den without proper preparation.

Besides, Merlick still didn't know what the goals of Raphael and Azalia were. If they had no ill will towards the Clorius continent, perhaps Merlick would have asked Leonida and the other kings to ignore them. But if these two were to wreak havoc as the people from the Divine Race had done before, they would not hesitate to fight them.

(I understand. But I will still discuss this matter with the other kings and ask them to be more careful)

King Leonida quickly understood the meaning of Merlick's words and cut off the telepathic connection even before Merlick replied.

"Hopefully, nothing bad happens at this inauguration ceremony." Merlick muttered in a low voice and glanced at Raphael in the seating area for the people of Arcuz Grand Academy.

The battle between Hikaru and Azalia seemed to be running fiercely. They were attacking each other regardless of their defense. But certain people knew that their fight was out of balance because Azalia was actually suppressing Hikaru.

Those people could tell the battle situation from Hikaru and Azalia's breaths. Hikaru seemed to have started breathing heavily while Azalia was still breathing steadily up until now. Hikaru was also well aware of his situation. His face became even more gloomy as he felt Azalia's attacks getting stronger and stronger.

"No! If it continues like this, I will lose, and the chances of Sintaro winning in the last round are very small. I can feel that Prince Ozkar is very strong! I must defeat this girl in this battle no matter what!" Hikaru narrowed his eyes and changed his weapon again. This time he used an ax to fight Azalia.

Azalia raised her eyebrows when Hikaru changed his weapon into a giant ax. She quickly jumped from where she was standing and dodged Hikaru's attack.

Booooooooooooommmmmmmmmm!

The impact of the ax shattered the floor of the battle arena, but Hikaru's attack still wasn't over. He charged forward to attack Azalia again. Hikaru was no longer wielding the giant ax but wearing gauntlets in both hands and dealt consecutive fists to Azalia.

Azalia easily dodged the consecutive blows, but Hikaru suddenly stopped and changed his weapon to a scythe. He swung it Horizontally and made Azalia have to jump to avoid it.

"My attack is still not over yet!" Hikaru changed his weapon into a spear. He intended to attack Azalia while she was still in the air.

Five-colored flames gathered at the tip of Hikaru's spear and compressed into a ball of energy. That power came from Hikaru's innate ability 'Sovereign of Fire'. Hikaru gripped his spear tightly and thrust it towards Azalia.

[Blazing Nova]

A wave of five-colored flames flooded the entire battle arena. It made it difficult for the guests to see the situation inside the barrier. Azalia frowned upon seeing that attack and then sighed.

"After all, a hero is still a hero. Their abilities cannot be underestimated." Azalia released a bit of her strength and then created a barrier just before the attack hit her.

[Space Blockade]

A space ripple suddenly created in front of Azalia and blocked Hikaru's five-colored fire wave.

Booooooooooooooooooooooooommmmmmmmmm!

Azalia was sure that Hikaru's attacks wouldn't break through her barrier. But her face suddenly darkened as a golden energy ball shot towards her at a terrifying speed. Azalia was caught off guard because she didn't think that someone else would interfere in the fight.

Someone had attacked Azalia secretly without anyone knowing while she was blocking Hikaru's attack. The one who did it was Raphael. He was curious about Azalia's face, always covered by the veil.

When Raphael tried to see through the veil, he couldn't see her face because it was an artifact. Raphael took advantage of the moment when Azalia blocked Hikaru's attack and lowered her guard.

Raphael shot a golden energy ball towards Azalia's face at a speed that Azalia couldn't dodge or endure in her current situation. Raphael did not hesitate to do so because he was sure that such an attack would not injure Azalia. Even so, the ball of energy was strong enough to shatter her veil and reveal her beauty.

"What!" Hikaru was stunned when he saw Azalia's face and felt his soul pull out. Sintaro and Prince Fritz, at the edge of the battle arena, were also amazed that their mouths opened wide.

That reaction was understandable because everyone who saw the battle was mesmerized after seeing Azalia's beauty regardless of gender and age. Prince Ozkar and the people who had seen Azalia without a veil couldn't help but be amazed again after seeing her beauty. Raphael, in his seat, couldn't even keep his composure after seeing that beautiful sight.

"What a beautiful woman!" Raphael stood up from his seat and said in admiration.

"I didn't expect a woman from the divine race to be this beautiful. I have seen many beautiful women in the divine realm, but none are as beautiful as her!" Raphael rubbed his chin while admiring Azalia's beauty from afar. He suddenly smiled evilly after having something on his mind.

Azalia always covers her face with a veil wherever she goes because no transformation magic is suitable for her. Therefore she covered her face in another way to avoid trouble. Azalia knows her otherworldly beauty doesn't always bring good things and sometimes invites evil intentions.

Besides that, Azalia doesn't want anyone to see her face because she has determined that only people she trusts and special to her can see her without a veil. She had been doing that since she was still living in the divine realm. But in that academy, she had shown her face twice, making her very regretful.

Azalia landed in the battle arena after blocking Hikaru's attack. She was furious and stared coldly at Raphael. Azalia knew that Raphael was the one who had attacked her secretly before. She gritted her teeth to restrain herself from attacking Raphael at this very moment.
