#Side Story 44. The Dragon Bride competing for love (6)
* * *
The masters of the Seven Dragons Association each had a set area in which they could demonstrate particularly powerful power, depending on their innate psionics.
The Black Dragon clan engages in assassination and group warfare.
The Red Dragon Clan is in a war of occupation and annihilation.
The Green Dragon Clan fights in long-term and hand-to-hand combat.
The Silver Dragon clan engages in high-speed warfare and short-term decisive battles.
The Blue Dragon clan engages in mobile warfare and individual warfare.
Before the White Dragon clan fled and retreated.
It’s nature.
Each clan, which cannot be supplemented by the seventy-two species of martial arts, is close to the racial characteristics inherited from the seven dragons.
They were proud of their individual abilities.
Not only the Black Dragon Clan, which boasted of intrigue, but even the White Dragon Clan believed that running away was the way to win and that they were the best clan.
nevertheless.
There was a fact that everyone acknowledged.
This means that the Golden Dragon Clan is truly the strongest.
In group warfare, annihilation warfare, hand-to-hand combat, short-term warfare, individual warfare, and retreat warfare.
The Golden Dragon Clan was literally omnipotent, able to exert 100% power based on telekinesis in any situation.
The general consensus was that it was impossible to defeat the Golden Dragon Clan in a comprehensive fight.
However, to put it another way, it meant that the Golden Dragon clan was inferior to other clans in the field of expertise.
That was why.
One question arose.
Princess Golden Dragon is clearly the strongest of the Seven Dragons.
But is this true in other fields as well?
What about fighting arts?
What if it’s an assassination?
What if it’s war?
What if it’s a runaway?
…What if it’s a duel more than anything else?
Is it possible to defeat even the Blue Dragon Princess, the most outstanding of the seven princesses, in a one-on-one fight?
Many people wondered about that question, but no one could figure out the answer.
Of course, it was meaningless to ask the Blue Dragon and Golden Dragon clans who always believed that their princess would win.
No matter how competitive the seven clans are with each other, there has never been a situation so bad as to cause a duel between princesses.
“Whoa….”
That’s why.
Off stage.
A female knight with a drawn sword.
Why did Rose take a deep breath?
If you asked me if I wasn’t prepared, I could definitely say no.
From the moment I participated in this competition, it was a foregone conclusion that I would one day compete with her.
Nevertheless, there was one reason why she was nervous.
‘…I didn’t know that my first opponent would be Charlotte.’
Rose smiled bitterly.
I might be a little arrogant.
Honestly, she was confident.
I am confident that I will not lose if another princess is my opponent.
And even looking at it objectively, it was difficult to regard it as arrogance.
Because she went beyond being the Blue Dragon Princess and was reborn as the Blue Dragon Concubine, she fully deserved it.
Unless the opponent was Charlotte.
In that sense, it was really unfortunate that I met Charlotte in the first match.
‘Well, it was a mountain I had to climb anyway.’
But even for a moment.
Rose soon composed herself.
Of course, it was only a matter of order, and in the end, he had to go through a fight with Charlotte as well.
Even if I faced any opponent other than Charlotte, I shouldn’t be confident of victory, because none of the competitors who participated in this competition were easy.
But right after that.
She had no choice but to stop.
“Rose, I have one thing to tell you.”
“What do you mean?”
“I will not use spirit armor in my fight with you.”
“…!”
That moment.
Rose’s face hardened.
No, it wasn’t just her.
Of course, Na-kyung Yu and Limon Li Qingyu, who were watching the off-stage from the caster’s seat on one side.
Even the Fairy Queen looked at Charlotte as if it was unexpected.
The Spirit Armor is a treasure given by the Fairy Queen to the Golden Dragon Emperor as a token of an agreement.
It was the strongest armor made from Alfheim’s special minerals and the heritage of the fairies.
The reason why the Golden Dragon Princess has always been able to reign as the strongest of the Seven Dragons is not only because of her telekinesis, but also because of the power of her spirit armor.
But not using that spirit armor….
“…does that mean you’re going to use hand-to-hand combat against me?”
“No, it means fighting a fair fight.”
“….”
“It may not be shameful to defeat you by borrowing the power of a foreign power, but it would not be something to be proud of.”
For a moment, I looked at Charlotte with deep, heavy eyes, unlike my usual gentle nature.
quietly.
After sighing.
Rose bowed her head slightly.
“Thank you for your consideration.”
“There is nothing to be thankful for. “This is not for my own benefit.”
“That’s what I’m saying. “If you hadn’t recognized me as an equal opponent, you wouldn’t have even had this kind of consideration.”
Just as no adult would be proud of winning a fight with a child.
The very fact that Charlotte is trying to have a fair duel on equal terms is proof that she considers herself an opponent.
Her arrogant concession.
Rose didn’t see it as a shame.
Rather, I was just sincerely grateful.
With this, I was able to have a fair duel with her in the truest sense.
“In return for your consideration, I will let you know.”
Crash.
“?The reward of defeat that can be gained because it is a fair duel.”
Unless you use spirit armor.
Even Charlotte can’t beat her one-on-one.
Seeing Rose speaking in an extremely vague tone and pointing a sword at her, Charlotte loaded her rifle with a cold cynicism.
“If you can, try it.”
like that.
Fair and square.
Putting each other’s pride and honor at stake.
The match between the two princesses competing to be the best master of the Seven Dragon Club began…
…and came to an end.
* * *
Space.
It’s a place.
It’s a distance.
Although it is empty.
Because it is filled.
It’s absolutely relative.
Absolutely absolute.
Space is like the world itself in that it is a reference point that even affects time.
It would be no exaggeration to say that being able to handle such a space was a deceptive ability in itself.
That is why the Blue Dragon clan was considered the most capable in the Seven Dragons in individual combat.
Space can be controlled.
This means controlling distance.
In other words, it meant that you could always maintain an advantageous distance no matter who you were dealing with.
For that one reason alone, the Blue Dragon Clan was sure to gain the upper hand in a one-on-one fight.
But there was something else that was scarier than anything else.
“It’s focus and transition.”
“…Focus and transition?”
“It means that by changing the space, you can turn a disadvantage into an advantage and concentrate all your power in one space.”
If I had to compare it.
The power of the Blue Dragon clan is divination.
Both when defending and when attacking.
By concentrating all of your strength only where it is needed, you can of course demonstrate maximum efficiency when fighting as an individual.
It was truly difficult in that the situation could be reversed by moving through space at any time if the situation was unfavorable.
The only downside is that while it is advantageous for concentrating in a limited space, it is vulnerable to dispersion.
In other words, a fight against the majority.
Or, it was said that it was at a disadvantage in a wide battlefield.
In the end, it was like a disadvantage in that you could escape through spatial movement.
“On the other hand, the advantage of the Golden Dragon Clan is expansion and domination.”
If I had to compare it.
The power of the Golden Dragon Clan is cotton.
Dominate the entire surrounding area.
It was the ability to both attack and defend by controlling not only one’s own strength but also the strength of the opponent.
Within the reach of their control, they were never at a disadvantage.
Even more so in that the area of dominance within which telekinetic power can be reached can be extended surprisingly far through the use of bullets, etc.
“In the end, Rose and Charlotte are polar opposites in that they pursue the drama in different directions…” “
…just listening to what you said, it seems like the Countess had the advantage?”
“As long as it’s one-on-one, that’s for sure.”
That didn’t mean Rose was stronger than Charlotte.
No matter how hard a diamond is.
As if splitting at the tip of a sharp chisel.
This meant that Rose, who could cut through space like a blade, could penetrate Charlotte’s telekinetic powers that dominate a wide area.
And in fact, it was clear that Rose had a slight advantage in the duel.
Of course, it’s just a piece of paper.
Just like Hasneti beat Maia.
It was a result that could have been changed by any number of factors, including tactics, strategy, determination, martial arts achievement, and even luck.
Whichever of the two wins.
It was nothing strange.
But…
“But why did this result come out…?”
“…well.”
Put the sword on the floor.
Down on one knee.
A female knight bleeding from the corner of her mouth.
And even though her clothes were all tattered, she looked at the blonde beauty standing upright on the off-stage and pointing a rifle at her.
Li Qingyu had a complicated expression.
‘I expected that Charlotte might win… but I didn’t expect it to be so completely decided.’
Did Rose suffer a crushing defeat?
It was never like that.
Charlotte took control of all directions with her telekinesis, swinging numerous swords and bullets and pouring out her boxing skills.
Rose used space itself as a sword or armor, digging into her territory and swinging her sword sharply.
The duel between the two is truly a dragon and tiger fight.
It was more intense and intense than Maia and Hasneti.
Either as a single unmanned person.
As the princess of the same Seven Dragon Club.
It was a fight that even Li Qingyu could not help but be impressed by.
Having seen that fight, it is impossible to say that Rose suffered a crushing defeat.
but.
nevertheless.
She thought.
This match is a complete victory for Charlotte.
Although his clothes may have been tattered, it wasn’t just because he finally defeated Rose without getting hurt.
In the midst of the fierce battle, Rose broke through his territory several times and was in danger, but he did not lose control of the battle until the end.
Because I just knew.
With intuition as an absolute being.
How strange this match was, the process may have been tight and close, but the result was perfect.
“Is it really the power of Yangyi Shingokuryu?”
“…For sure, Yangui Shingokuryu is a fraudulent school.”
“Yes. “Anyway, this result is a bit unexpected.”
Yuna-kyung, who could feel how great this match was as name and color were absolute, scratched her head with her wings.
And then I glanced to the side.
“What do you think, team leader?”
“….”
“manager?”
Na-kyung Yu, who had a sullen expression on her face as if he was ignoring her again, soon tilted her head.
But her reaction like that.
Limon didn’t care at all.
Rose with a bitter smile admits defeat.
After activating the Great Talisman to recover from his wounds, he shakes hands with Charlotte and then leaves the off-stage.
And as the winner, he looked at the blonde beauty proudly standing on the off-stage with deeply sunken eyes and suddenly opened his mouth.
“I think it would suit her best.”
“What does it mean to fit in?”
The moment Limon answered.
She stiffened as she asked the question.
No, it wasn’t just Yuna-kyung.
Li Qingyu who was next to him, Rose who was leaving the off-stage, the Fairy Queen who was at the head of the table, and even those who were waiting for their turn in the waiting room.
Through the spirit’s broadcast.
Or by the hearing of the Absolute.
All the priests who heard his voice froze.
“Uh, team leader? What did you just say…?”
Only one person.
It seems so natural.
The moment Limon opened his mouth once again, looking straight at the golden princess who was looking at him with a bright smile.
“?Empress.”
Just like that…
the competition venue became quiet.
In the ice-cold air.
Hiccup.
Yuna-kyung could not help but make a sound that made her heart stop.
