Chapter 360: One on One Aerial Showdown
Chapter 360: One on One Aerial Showdown
Leos aerial unit was a mix of the 6th Imperial Knight Corp and the Dragon Knights of the Greisner house.
On the other side, the enemy is the elite Dragon Knights under Williams direct command centered around the Black Dragon Knights.
Both in terms of quantity and quality, Williams Dragon Knights are superior to Marquis Greisners.
The reason they can fight evenly with them now was because of the 6th Imperial Knights corp.
Katrina, who leads the Dragon Knights was frustrated at the situation but she managed to suppress it down.
She knows that the battle on the ground is in a stalemate.
No matter how well their offensive is, it would be difficult to cause significant damage to the enemy unless the mountain is taken.
In the end, they need air superiority.
Thats why Katrina did not carelessly attack.
Fight in pairs! If you get defeated one by one then it will only increase the burden on our allies! Prioritize your own survival!!
While issuing her command, she swings her spear to intercept the enemy Dragon Knight that approached her from below.
The Dragon Knights of the Greisner house knew well that they were inferior to the enemy. That is why they will not break formation nor carelessly chase after the enemy even if they were provoked.
There was a common understanding among them.
The time for them to attack is when their ace wins.
We will survive until Finn comes back!
Katrina raised her voice.
Above where Katrina and the others are fighting.
Two Dragon Knights are fighting against each other.
It was Finn and Roger.
Since the battle started, the two had been engaging in single combat.
And they did not do that because they chose to.
The reason it became single combat was simply that there was no one who could keep up with them.
So inevitably, their battle turned into a one-on-one fight. This means that if one of them is defeated, the battle situation will tilt to the side of the winner.
I cant just fight you one on one like this forever you know!
Roger, who received Finns lightning strike with his greatsword, suddenly shouted and thrust straight toward Finn.
If the battle was prolonged, Roger would be at a disadvantage.
As he battled Roger, Finn understood that and chose to gradually attack Roger from a distance.
He understood intuitively that Roger cant use the magic wand consecutively for long.
However, Roger understood that as well.
The magic wand is just one of the means and he doesnt rely much on it.
Thats why Roger mostly relied on his skill and techniques as a Dragon Knight.
Finn shoots a lightning strike at Roger who is rushing straight at him.
However, Roger narrowly avoided it and immediately closed the distance.
Ugh!
I will have your head now! Finn Brost!!
Roger brandishes his greatsword with a scream.
On the other hand, Finn fires multiple lightning strikes at his sword.
The greatsword that was swung down got pushed back and Finn took the chance to widen the distance.
And in the same motion, Finn turns the type-62 wand toward Roger.
I can not afford to lose either.
You are truly a worthy opponent! But the same trick wont work twice you know!
Roger on the offense and Finn on the defense.
This exchange continues and the two are locked in a stalemate.
The attacking side wants to quickly settle the battle while the defending side has to prolong the battle in frustration.
For Finn, wasting more time here meant putting his allies at risk.
With Finns absence, the aerial battle is currently in a stalemate. However, over time, the Greisner Dragon Knights will be defeated and they will fall behind.
However, Finn suppressed his frustration.
I cant rush.I have to believe in everyone.
He mutters to himself.
The chance will surely arrive.
He decided to endure it until then.
If he falls here the enemy will gain the advantage. If that happens the overall battle will lean in favor of the enemy.
He must avoid making any careless attacks.
Hes coming, Nova.
Kyuu!
After speaking to his partner, Finn moves on to intercept Roger who has charged at him again.
While shooting lightning strikes at him, Finn continues to look for the chance.
And suddenly, it arrived.
Your Highness!?
The scene of fighting between William and Leo entered Rogers field of view.
For a brief moment, he was distracted.
Finn did not miss that moment.
Suddenly, Finn and Nova disappear from the front of Roger.
And when he noticed them, Roger found that they were above him.
It is the first time this has happened since the two started fighting.
The offense and defense are being reversed.
Tsk!!
HAAAAAA!!
Clicking his tongue, Roger descends while using his greatsword to shield himself.
On the other hand, Finn started chasing him while firing lightning strikes.
They continued battling each other as they dived down.
Even when the both of them had to think about crashing into the ground, Finn and Roger did not cease fighting.
A momentary misjudgment would be fatal.
Even so, Finn desperately continues to fire lightning strikes.
A chance like this will never arrive again. He was convinced of that.
Nova!!
Kyu!!
Finn further increased his descending speed.
Seeing that, Rogers eyes opened wide in surprise.
For them to raise their speed here is a dare to Roger to rise up to avoid crashing.
Roger couldnt believe such a suicidal plan
You are that desperate to settle this huh!
Roger stopped descending at the last minute.
In return, Finn shot a lightning strike at Roger as he flew past him.
It was a decisive blow.
Roger couldnt avoid it and his right foot was hit by the lightning strike.
Ugh!!
To maintain your balance on a flying dragons back, your feet are necessary.
With this, Roger will not be able to move freely anymore.
However, with this, Finn will crash into the ground.
Rising up now is impossible.
Or so Roger thought.
However, that was not the case.
Dontlook down on the Dragon Knight of Adler!!
A normal Dragon Knight would have crashed.
However, Finn and Nova forcibly changed their course to the side.
Doing so, Finn is now flying above Gordons army at low altitude.
Before soaring back up to the sky, he unleashed multiple lightning strikes at the enemy soldiers as a parting gift.
Gordons army fell into chaos due to the lightning strikes and after witnessing that superb maneuver, Leos army cheers.
Then the stage is once again returned to the sky.
Roger whose right foot was injured tried to engage Finn again but he was stopped by William.
Stop, Roger. You cant win against him with your foot like that.
Even if I cant win.I have to settle this myself.
Dont be stubborn now.
Saying so, William moved up to Rogers side
Realizing his intention, Roger was surprised and smiled at William.
I see. This is not so bad either.
Right?
Before the two smiling men, Leo appeared.
Finn also rose up to Leos side.
Hey, Finn. That was a good blow.
Im honored, Your Highness.
It seems that the other side wants to have a tag-team battle now you know?
No matter what kind of battle it is, I will not lose.
Thats a good reply. Lets settle this before Nii-san gets tired waiting for us.
Yes!
With that as a signal, the one on one has turned into two on two.
