Extra's Perfect Ending-Chapter 191: Catch up
Leon couldn’t react fast enough, the sword came right into his face. However, HIlda was fast enough to intercept the sword. A knife manages to stop it a mere moment before it digs into Leon’s face.
However, the sword got pulled very fast, creating friction between the metal. Hilda read what Lena, the knight leader, was going to do and used her foot to kick the knight. It produces a metallic sound as the knight’s body sways back.
However, a spark is all the knight needs to create the explosion and the moment Hilda kicks her.
The spark is generated.
Closing her eyes, she braces herself for the impact, the explosion is blinding but the force never came. She opened her eyes another time and saw that there was a figure in front of her. Egul the tall figure stands in fount.
"Lady, this is between you and me. Is the knight honor a joke to you?"
His voice is the same as before however, there is an underlying rage.
"Egul are you okay!?"
Leon said after seeing Egul’s hands. It was black all the way. Just from seeing that Hilda could tell what happened, the madman grabbed the explosion and held it in his hand. It’s a miracle that his arm is still attached to his body.
"I’m fine. But do me a favor and get out of this place, you’re a burden now."
"But..."
"fuck off unless you want to die"
Leon picked himself up and ran after hearing those words,
"What about you?"
Hilda looked at the man from behind
"Thank you, I’ll repay this later"
Egul smiles but doesn’t answer Hilda, his attention remains solely on Lena’s movement. A second later Lena disappeared from his sight. Jumping after her immediately after that, Egul was able to intercept the woman.
She was indeed aiming for the running of HIlda and Leon. With Theia on her back, Hilda couldn’t afford to look back but she knew that Egul would cover for them. So she runs without turning to check.
"Lady, are you really a knight?"
It’s widely known that attacking a fleeing opponent is disrespectful, at least among the knights.
"The heretic does not deserve my honor."
"You’re not a good knight"
"True, I’m a royal knight"
The fight resumes with Egul’s left hand is damaged. However, that doesn’t affect his performance much, because he only has one axe with him. Usually, he would have two.
That was not an excuse he would make if he lost this fight, because no matter the weapon he would always win.
In this battle, it is the same, his power compete nullify the explosion that Lena could generate. But Lena couldn’t nullify the fatigue that was building up in her. Trying to slip from Egul’s grasp is very hard so she shifts her focus from causing the damage to beating him.
Egul creates something to coat his body with and that something is filled with mystic energy so her explosion can’t get through. Even worse, the mystic force that he uses seems to be minimal, in contrast, the explosion from her takes a considerable amount of mystic power.
At this rate, she would lose badly. So her stance and usage of power slow down and slightly shift into a defensive position. Using her power only when she needs it. But that also doesn’t cut it either, Egul muscle has much more volume than hers.

Normally this gap would be covered by her usage of mystic power but it’s very hard to deal with when his mystic power nullifies hers.
She could only retreat while defending herself, this goes on for far longer than she expected.
"Miss Lena!"
However something approached her at that moment, it was Plutus. The priest party was able to catch up to the latest location that they divined but they didn’t expect to find their royal knight leader there.
"Help me defeat this guy!"
Lena wasn’t afraid to ask for help, after all this wasn’t a fair duel from the start. The barbarian from the tribe wasn’t honorable.
"Egul!?"
The axe raider has been famous over the years. The person who could go toe to toe with a royal knight commander isn’t someone unknown. For years, he’s been one of the people who held off the Eyre invasion into the northern mountains.
Rumor has it that he reached the 5th circle. And from the way he pushed back the Royal Knight commander, it wasn’t just a normal 5th circle. Because the commander is also a 5th circle mystic.
Pushing her back means that he has more mystic power or his power is simply a counter to hers. Plutus didn’t care about that, the priest revealed a smile, and it was time to test out his new power. The third circle power that he hasn’t used once.
"Oh god, grant me your armor!"
With the assistance of the divination, he was able to quickly grasp his new power. The light came from his chest and expanded around his body. Warp around it like a new suit of armor made entirely out of light. Shining bright even in the darkness of night.
however, Reeva could see that it was something he was familiar with. The suit of armor is not attacking a suit of armor but a dress. A wedding dress.
!?
All the people there, including Plutus freeze up, not because of Theia’s power.
"Wow, I didn’t know you priest accept crossdressers now," Egul said with a smirk
"Shut up!"
Plutus’s face was as red as a tomato. If he knew that this was the form it would take, he would not have used it. He summoned the sword of light and held it in his hand, ready to battle.
"Time’s up, I think this is a good time to end things. I got a good show, this Miss Lena, Maybe we’ll see each other next time."
"Wait!"
Egul takes off with his incredible speed. Lena tries to follow but her body is far too exhausted to do so. She had a feeling that this was what Egul had been aiming for all along. He could have pushed her more and injured her badly, but he only exhausted her body making her unable to follow.
With the tribesmen’s incredible speed, she couldn’t catch up and the other here didn’t have the means to catch up either. So it’s a lost cause.
However, the most furious person here wasn’t her but Plutus.
