Chapter 419

12-59 Reiko’s Battle

The one who made the first move was the combat Golem .

The length of his greatsword was about the same as Reiko’s height . He held the sword over his head and swung straight down at Reiko .

With her splendid steps, Reiko dodged the attack .

In a swift motion, the Golem swung the sword diagonally from below, attempting the next attack . But it was too late . Reiko was no longer there .

“Hmm, speed is the only remarkable trait she has, eh?”

Marcus murmured, and then barked an order to his combat Golem .

“Garboreal! Get serious!”

In response to his command, the combat Golem increased his speed by one level, no, two levels .

Likely to weigh over 400 kilograms, the giant began to move faster than humans .

The ground was either gouged or cracked from the impact of his footsteps .

“What an amazing speed with that enormous body …!”

Most spectators were astounded by his movement .

However, Prince Ernest was not impressed . He turned toward Princess Lieschen, who was sitting next to him, and whispered,

“It’s not that big of a deal at all . With her small body, Reiko had knocked off dozens of stampeding combat Golems in the past . ”

“Yes, I have also witnessed her true ability . She neutralized 50 bandits in an instant with ease . ”

Just as she said, Reiko was dodging the combat Golem Garboreal’s onslaught with a devil-may-care att.i.tude .

“Heh, all she could do is dodging . She’s just a second-rate Magi Engineer’s doll, after all!”

Reiko heard Marcus’ muttering .

“… I’m only following my father’s order to not cause you too much embarra.s.sment, but it seems like you don’t even understand that . ”

Reiko stopped . She blocked the incoming greatsword .

“Oh, oh?!”

The audience could not believe their eyes .

Reiko started to engage the attacks of the combat Golem Garboreal; sometimes she dodged, sometimes she repelled them, sometimes she directly blocked them .

The entire audience was flabbergasted seeing how Reiko’s tiny hand could skillfully wield the tiny sword, which was only one-tenth the size of the greatsword . She could withstand and even overwhelm the physical strength of the greatsword wielded by the combat Golem . Her physical strength was already unbelievable to begin with, but what she was currently displaying was even more ridiculous .

“Why doesn’t it break?”

Such a comment could be heard from among the audience .

“This pseudo-sword my father had created for me won’t break that easily!”

64 Aluminum was stronger than steel . With that, Reiko now had the capacity to deal with the impacts of the greatsword . Even though their swords seemed to be clas.h.i.+ng directly, Reiko relaxed her power at the moment of impact that dampened the effect .

“It’s about time I counterattack!”

Reiko increased her attack speed further .

Garboreal’s tower s.h.i.+eld seemed useless against her wave of attacks . Reiko slashed from the direction where the tower s.h.i.+eld was not guarding . If she were to wield either the real Peach Blossom or the Vibration Sword, the match would have ended with a single blow .

Alas, Reiko was wielding a mock sword with no blade . So Reiko chose a fighting method that acc.u.mulated the damage .

She persistently attacked the Golem’s left shoulder, which was the pivot of the arm that supported the heavy tower s.h.i.+eld . Despite being covered in full body armor, moving parts such as joints were relatively weak .

With more than 10 blows, a part of the armor flew off . After 10 more attacks, the Magical Muscle on the left shoulder cracked . The weight of the tower s.h.i.+eld aided the crack to spread gradually .

Upon taking more attacks, the deltoid muscle equivalent of the Magical Muscle ruptured . His left arm could not be lifted anymore .

“Checkmate . ”

Reiko pointed her mock sword at the throat of the combat Golem who could no longer hold the tower s.h.i.+eld .

“T-that’s it! Winner, Jin!”

Jin felt a little sorry for Reiko because it was her creator’s name being called instead of hers .

A wild cheer erupted when Reiko bowed courteously at the audience .

“Cute!”

“You did well, young lady!”

“Aim for a complete victory just like that!”

The scene in which a beautiful girl played an active part in any world seemed to invite the sympathy of the viewer .

“Reiko is amazing . ”

“Truly, she’s something formidable … . ”

Prince Ernest and Princess Lieschen shouted in joy for Reiko’s great success . At the same time, they felt a strong fright as well .

The audience was unaware of how threatening that was . They did not realize it because they were too excited about the outcome of the match .

Meanwhile, the Empress who was sitting at the very top row of the VIP seat was greatly perplexed .
