17 - 13 Do you want my breed!?

My derived skill - "embodiment" - was to imitate skills from the damage I had accumulated in the past.

That's why I learned 《Pseudo Sword Sage》 from the damage I received instead of Elma.

How did I come to be able to use spear techniques?

The answer is simple.

Yes - I imitated her skill from the damage I received from Arcadia.

Perhaps the skill was derived ...... again, or perhaps it evolved.

To one that mimics skills from damage received in the present, not from damage accumulated in the past.

In other words, the more I fight someone, the more I can make their skills and techniques my own based on the damage I received from the person I fought.

And to say the current state of affairs - 《Pseudo Divine Spear》.

All of the power that Saint Arcadia currently possesses has been mastered as my spear technique.

Of course, since she is not currently in possession of the Holy Spear, it is not her original power.

But...

--But...

Why?　Why am I lagging behind in spearmanship?　I am the saint of the "divine spear"!

I know. I know, you don't understand. But you can understand if I say it like this, can't you?

"Crack!　The two were bounced off each other, but immediately afterward they collided again with a thrust, causing the earth to cave in.

Both of us were throwing our full power at each other, but I was the one who was pushing.

If we are exactly the same in strength, it is only natural that I have the advantage in terms of size and attributes!

--Dougan!

GGGHH!"

This time, Arcadia rolled around on the ground.

And then, aghast with disbelief, Arcadia desperately tried to raise her upper body.

I am defeated by a mere man who is not a saint. ......?

So I tell him.

I'm not a saint, and I don't have your rare skills, I'm just a regular guy. But I'm a saint ......, and I got this power by being oppressed by saints. It's because I've been enduring all these years that I've been able to get more power than even you, a saint, despite the fact that I was just a regular guy."

"What are you saying, ......?

What are you talking about? The actuality that you can't match up to the saintly woman herself, but you might be able to, depending on how hard you work. I told you, I'm a hard worker.　I'm a hard worker.

"d*mn it, ......."

Arcadia stood up, using her spear as a staff.

The victory or defeat should have already been decided, but her eyes still do not seem to have given up.

Zan!　and thrust the spear into the ground, Arcadia took a deep breath and said.

'...... fine. I admit it. You are indeed strong. That's why I really want to put all my strength into you."

And as she held up her hand to the heavens, a dazzling radiance began to converge on it, gradually transforming it into a long-handled object.

From here on out, it's completely up to me," she said. Therefore, I will give you the championship title. But I will not give you my defeat as a saint!"

That's ......."

I know because I was with Elma for a long time.

The most important thing to remember is that the sword is not a weapon, it's a weapon.

--The Holy Spear.

But if I were to shoot such a thing out here, the spectators behind me would probably get caught in the middle.

Even if I catch it.

"Oh, hey, stop!　You're going to kill the audience!

Then you will stop me!　I'll give it my all!

d*mn it, .......

That's why you're such a saint .......

The actual "I'm not a fan of the way you look at it, but I'm not a fan of the way you look at it.

A moment later.

The most important thing to remember is that the most important thing to remember is that you are not alone.　The holy spear strike that pierces even the stars!

The holy spear was thrown from Arcadia's hand.

--The holy spear was thrown from Arcadia's hand.

With a tremendous shockwave, a violent flash of light rushed through me and into the eastern sky.

It was such a powerful and incomparable blow that it seemed as if it might really shatter the stars.

"G-Ga-......!!!!"

The attack was so severe that even the Phoenix skill could not keep up with the regeneration.

But.

--Gogo!

What?

I, who had turned into a firebird as if I had eaten through the light on the way, jumped out and plunged in a straight line toward Arcadia, who was still frozen in the same position as I had thrown the projectile.

Then.

"You--stupid saint aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!"

--Aaaaaaahhhh!

"AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

My flames had consumed Arcadia.

◇ ◇

Thus, the festival ended with us, Rahula Arms, as the winners, although there were some accidents.

I think what Arcadia did at the end was unforgivable, but it seemed to be the best performance for the excited spectators, and we were not accused of any crime.

Aside from the fact that the Gunfleet Trading Company had been beaten up for allegedly trying to take us out in the black after all their fussing, I was not the only one who was upset.

The morning of my departure, I was in the middle of saying goodbye to Fio-chan and the others in front of the arms store.

I said, "Thank you so very, very much. I will never forget this debt of gratitude.

I will never forget this debt of gratitude. The reason I was able to win is because you have always supported me.

No, no, no. ......

The actual a lot of the time, the actual a lot of the time, the actual a lot of the time, the actual a lot of the time, the actual a lot of the time, the actual a lot of the time, the actual a lot of the time.

The most important thing to remember is that you can't just take a few minutes to do a little bit of work and then go back to work. So, um, are you sure you were okay with me taking this?"

I said while looking at the Hinokaguzuchi on my waist, and Leia-san nodded her head and said, "Of course.

Of course. Of course. I don't want to thank you for that, but I want you to have it.

Leia," I said, nodding broadly, "I'd like you to have it, if not as a thank-you. I understand. I'll take good care of this magic sword Hinokaguzuchi, then.

I'd appreciate it if you would.

Yes. Please continue to be the best blacksmith and his wife and continue to make weapons to protect everyone.

Yes, of course.

And that was as far as it went.

The Gunfleet Trading Company had been threatened enough, so their future was secure for the time being - a wonderful happy ending.

It was supposed to be.

"Um, why are you following me ......?"

Of course I'm following you.　To get your seed.

I was like, "...... I see. I'm going to get my seed from ......, seed?

What's going on here?
