2nd Rank Has Returned - Chapter 312

312 – The fight that Leo wants-4

A fierce battle broke out.

Despite Leo’s cowardly remarks, the two Ariasvills linked up as if they were one body.

Regardless of victory or defeat, a woman named Ariaspil also had pride in martial arts. There was meaning to this fight, even for her before it was for her Leo.

As thousands of combinations continued, Ariasviel shouted in astonishment.

“…How…! Never…!”

“It’s not right…?!”

All of the attacks that Ariasviel made right now did not reach Leo.

Even if they weren’t as fierce and ready to kill and die as they were during the time of the Demon King, their fight couldn’t be said to be lacking compared to that time.

Rather, since two people were attacking at the same time, their batting average was worse than that of the Demon King.

Leonardo dodged all of the two Ariaspil’s attack moves as if he had previewed them.

Perhaps the Demon King also showed a movement similar to transcendence that went beyond foresight.

“Why did I tell you to attack both of them at once?”

Leonardo leisurely watched the two Ariaspil’s joint attacks.

Agwang’s onslaught, which he would have never been able to avoid, was like an attack that the returner had already experienced once.

‘…I can’t defend, and of course I’m defeated even if I counterattack…’

It was new to me, but I burst out laughing at the fact that he loved this light mortar and a woman and made him his enemy.

It looked leisurely on the outside, but the current avoidance was quite a desperate act.

Ariasviel’s body, which can withstand the speed of light, both had the property of indestructibility like the holy sword.

A clumsy defense will pierce like an awl piercing a sheet of paper, and a clumsy counterattack will be crushed like a tin can and self-destruct.

“You started the fight first…!”

“…Are you just going to keep avoiding me?!”

‘Aria Spiel’, who had been trying to keep up with the loach-like Leo, reached the point where even his mouth was in sync.

In fact, Leonardo, who challenged the duel first, did not even show a proper counterattack, let alone attack, and only repeated his dodge.

Whether from the perspective of being provoked or dueling, this was enough to feel insulted.

“Well, wouldn’t there be a way to hold on until you get tired?”

Compared to the beginning, the movements of both Ariasvills were slower now. No matter how good the fuel efficiency was, it was not a significant problem.

Because mana was released even more in order to launch an onslaught, the exhaustion of physical strength naturally had to accelerate.

In contrast, Leonardo was in a calm and stable state both physically and mentally, and if it went to a war of attrition, the odds of winning were clearly tilted to one side.

“…Leo…”

At the same time, the two Ariaspils softly called out Leonardo’s nickname. In all likelihood, fairy tales about the two have gone beyond treating them as the same person and have reached a point where it would not be wrong to say that they are one person.

There was no time to leisurely think.

The eyes of the two warriors caught in their provocative attitude contained a sense of intimidation that would make a wild animal cry.

Through the wisdom of wise men, it was calculated that even if ‘simulations’ such as regression were repeated, avoidance alone could not be used.

‘…It’s time to start.’

Leonardo also returned the black stone he used as his whip to its usual long sword form.

The shape was identical to the holy sword held by Ariasviel. Fundamentally, this sword was a posthumous work left by a wise man with more meaning to Leonardo than a holy sword.

Tukwaaa!!

The extending beam of light did not end in two branches, even though it was fired by two people.

As if they had planned it out in advance, the two warriors shot out flashes of light from all directions with their meteor-like movements.

Perhaps it was a strategy of a rival to block the cowardly option of avoidance in advance, an ideal strategy that would have been met with a standing ovation if there had been even a little bit of leeway, but was implemented in reality.

Wedge…!!

Leo swung his black long sword. Sword strikes alone will not be able to block or repel it. Even before the beam of light erupted, I was already aware of the strong and thick wind pressure.

But that wasn’t Leo’s plan.

“What is this…”

The arias were astonished as if they were harmonizing.

Leonardo would have understood that feeling best.

“It’s better than I expected.”

It wouldn’t be a very pleasant feeling to see with the naked eye the strategy you worked so hard to come up with collapsing.

Actually, it would not be surprising for anyone to see the black stone absorbing divinity like a living creature and deploying defensive magic accordingly.

Aria’s mana was so pure and abundant that it made my stomach hurt. Even though only 30% could be absorbed, a defense technique that could block the remaining 70% was immediately established.

“…Uh, how…!”

“It’s so awkward when you say that, Aria.”

But I didn’t know that I had been expecting that kind of reaction for a long time, even before I confessed. I wanted to surprise her with my skills like this at least once.

“I borrowed a lot of your methods from the beginning.”

Her words are as if Aria used her own techniques. I don’t ever get that annoyed when I’m being bullied, but I never imagined it would be this much fun to do it the other way around.

A creative miracle that replaces the devil’s mana with divinity, taking advantage of the blind spot that the hero’s existence is not unique.

For Leonardo, there was no more suitable way to make up for his lack of mana.

“…Really…”

“…It’s too much…”

Ariaspil was so exhausted that he could not speak properly and expressed his sorrow. It was no secret that that was how Leo felt all along.

“That’s how I felt every time I lost like that.”

Everyone present had not a single wound on their bodies, but victory or defeat was decided by the final battle.

Leonardo deliberately did not attack Ariaspil properly.

Even if you use the magic sword now, it is not easy to hurt Ariasviel, who has the invincible nature of the holy sword.

I didn’t want to hurt my hard-working wife too badly.

“…Sigh…! “Huh…”

Both of them were breathing heavily on the same anchor. Not only was there no direct wound, but Leonardo indirectly reduced Aria’s physical strength to the limit.

The situation was slowly tightened with evasion and provocation, and the final joint fight was the decisive blow.

If Leonardo hadn’t run over and picked them up right now, both Ariasviel would have been sprawled on the ground.

“…I won with this, right?”

Leonardo did not hesitate to kill his two wives, leaving them lying comfortably.

“So…?”

“…Are you satisfied?”

The two people’s expressions were as if they were mirrors, and they did not hide any signs of being tired.

“No, not yet.”

With just two short words, I could see with my naked eye that Aria’s expression instantly turned gray.

I understood that requesting a rematch with those girls whose physical strength was so low seemed like a cruel and grotesque act.

“I can’t help it.”

But Leonardo also had his own circumstances.

“If you want to get out of here together, your hearts need to become one.”

Black Arya’s escape method obtained through the knowledge of a wise man.

The way to save both White Aria and Black Aria was to bring their hearts together.

It is not a way to eliminate errors by killing one side, but a way to eliminate contradictions by becoming one.

Leo requested this duel for that purpose as well.

“…Is that possible?”

“Does that make sense…?”

The effect was clear just by looking at the clean dialogue between the two.

Just as Leo himself retains the memories of the first time before returning, he will be able to escape from this holy sword in a way that blends together rather than one of them disappearing.

“You cannot succeed unless you fundamentally repeat the same thoughts over a long period of time.”

What was more important than the magic technique that connected the two was the unity of the black and white Ariasviel.

So, he deliberately induced provocation so that the two could cooperate, and the result was close to success.

“If you just do a little more, you will succeed. Therefore…”

So the idea of doing it again could not be said.

After hearing Leonardo’s argument, the two people’s expressions changed from cold gray to red like a freshly lit flame, so they did not have the courage to add such a word.

“…Leo…”

One word from the two arias was spoken low and heavy, and only then did Leonardo realize that he had made a mistake.

He was so intoxicated by the atmosphere that he ended up irritating Aria’s emotions by putting his own greed first in a situation that should have been approached more delicately.

“…Aria! Sorry…! I…!”

“That’s enough.”

The two Ariasviols stopped talking briefly and quickly stood up with excited faces.

The unspoken emotion that went beyond anger gave even more strength to her exhausted Aria. Leo, who had both black and white Aria’s arms tied up, was able to directly feel their monstrous power.

“…Do you think I’ll end up saying I’m sorry?”

Ariasviel, who was angry, literally acted with one mind and one intention. The consequences of trampling on a woman’s innocence due to a man’s ignorant circumstances were being settled right now.

“I can’t take it anymore.”

Jiik…! Was it the wind pressure, or was it because the space inside this holy sword resonated with the emotions of the two Ariaspils to an extreme degree?

“…Uh…?”

Leonardo’s clothes were completely torn. From her outerwear to her underwear, her bare body was exposed without leaving a single trace of fabric.

I realized that the purpose of this act was not attack.

Fully…

This was after the two Aria’s bodies were tilted to the floor. Even though I fell, the soft feel of the ground reminded me of a bed.

“Because I barely saved my body after fighting the devil…”

The two Ariaspils also revealed their inner skin without fail. Arya’s skin, like twins, was warmly pressed against her husband’s body, as if asking him to find the difference.

“Let’s solve it with our bodies♡&?”

Leo couldn’t help but feel momentarily embarrassed by her sudden change in attitude.

“…Um, Aria…?”

It was the same because I did not feel the slightest resistance to the situation itself, and it was humanly absurd to resolve the various serious issues that had arisen with such actions.

“…Sleep, just a moment… Hueup…! Hmm…!”

Aria rushed towards Leo with a somewhat dazed expression.

She had skin like a holy sword just a moment ago, but soft, wet lips covered both her top and bottom.

“…It’s okay. “Because I have a lot of time…”

The time inside the Holy Sword was very different from the flow of time outside.

As Aria, who rejected it, wanted it even more, the passage of time had to slow down even more for her.

At this time, Leo realized.

Why is she the second in command?

The second in command has returned.

Ariasviel, the number one, defeated Leo as a woman.

It was a fitting time for a wedding eve.
