Chapter 29: One-strike duel
"Sorry, what are you talking about?"
"I said I want you to be my woman too if I win this duel."
"Eiji-chan, say that again?"
"Levia-tan, you and Sona. I want both of you."
"Huh!!?"
"So you agree?"
"You're crazy!"
With a slightly trembling Magical Girl's wand.
Serafall pointed at Eiji's face who didn't even blush while saying that.
This boy's face was very thick.
And he's so shameless!
Are all time travelers like this?
They are so shameless!
Serafall's expression was currently mixed.
She looked confused, embarrassed, angry, but there was also interest on her face as if imagining what it would be like if she and Sona had the same husband?
Somehow there was a strange smile on her beautiful face that Eiji noticed of course.
This woman might be easier to persuade than he thought?
¶{Host, you should be careful! I just remembered, Serafall's orientation in the original work is a bit...}
'I know Miss System. Don't worry, I will certainly make her fall in love with me first and make her normal.'
'There's no way I'm letting Yuri enter my harem. I'm not the type of MC who likes to green himself.'
¶{That's great... Glad you're my host.}
"....."
Miss System clearly sounded very relieved.
Eiji felt that his system was on the same frequency as him in this matter.
He himself was glad to have Miss System instead of a toxic system that liked to put its hosts in uncomfortable and awkward situations.
Both were happy to have each other.
While Serafall and Eiji were busy with their own thoughts.
Serafall finished first, she looked at the blonde-haired boy who was now a white-haired boy.
To be honest she was a little mesmerized by Eiji's appearance who was already handsome, but now even more handsome.
She can also feel.
After Eiji's appearance changed slightly, there was a very strong and terrifying magic energy fluctuation from within his body.
That power was almost comparable to the sum of her devil power.
Serafall was actually surprised.
From Eiji's inner voice earlier, she knew this boy was actually not at his best after fighting with the enemy he fought earlier.
The magic that blew up the forest for tens of kilometers earlier she also knew it came from one of his attacks to end his enemy's life.
Judging from all this, Serafall felt her confidence to win in this duel wavering slightly.
She wanted to retract the condition of the one attack to end the duel that she had recommended earlier.
But she felt it was too embarrassing if she retracted what she said, especially when Eiji was in the unfavorable situation of not being at his best.
There was also the matter of rewards that Eiji wanted to increase by including herself in the reward list.
She wanted to scold the boy for being too greedy, but strangely she wasn't too angry.
After hearing Eiji's inner voice that sounded worried about her and concerned about her.
Serafall felt that Eiji's purpose was actually to want her as his woman. Not only because he was greedy for her beauty, but this might also be one of his ways to watch her more closely because he was worried about her?
The boy just didn't want her to make the same decision as in the original work where she would risk her life in the fight against Trihexa.
Eiji was deliberately pretending to be a bad guy who was too lustful and greedy for her beauty?
Thinking of this, Serafall was moved.
Perhaps she should just agree to enter herself as a reward in this duel?
After all, if that boy couldn't defeat her, she and Sona would still be safe.
But what if she lost? Serafall gripped her wand tighter.
She... She'll win for sure!!
Although she was tempted to think of herself and Sona having the same husband and being able to sleep in the same bed...
S-She will definitely try to win in this duel!
Yes, she definitely wouldn't lose on purpose!
If Eiji knew what Serafall was thinking.
He would sigh in admiration.
He would be amazed at how great the brain circuitry of the woman who was cosplaying Magical Girl in front of him was.
Continue!
"Eiji-chan, you're overconfident that you'll win, right?"
Serafall made a serious expression, her devil power that was sky-blue in color and cold as ice began to rise from her body.
The ground beneath her feet also began to freeze.
Eiji shook his head. "Not really, but I'll definitely do my best."
¶{.....}
According to Miss System's analysis.
Her host is quite humble now.
It seems like the recent slap has made him lose his arrogance somewhat.
As long as it has nothing to do with the protagonist, the host won't be so arrogant and confident because he's worried about getting slapped.
In the end, her host does have some PTSD symptoms.
"Hmph!" Serafall snorted, she then nodded and said: "Okay, I agree to put myself on the reward list in this duel."
"After all, the one who will win in the end in this duel is me, Levia-tan☆!"
Eiji was speechless at the woman's confidence, but he smiled and said: "That's good. I'm even more motivated to win this duel."
"I'll do my best."
¶{Host, can you stop saying "I'll do my best"? You sound like a shounen protagonist from a sports anime...}
"....." Eiji.
Miss System can you shut up?
If this nonsense continues.
When will the duel with this wife reward start?
..
After agreeing with each other.
Standing in the former forest that was recently blown up by Eiji.
On the flat and ruined ground.
Eiji and Serafall stood facing each other.
But unlike before, this time there were hundreds of meters separating the two.
From a distance, people or animals could see that the colors of the sky and the surrounding area were in stark contrast.
On the side of Serafall, a woman dressed as a Magical Girl.
The area around her was covered in ice and even the sky above her began to create flecks of falling snow.
The temperature there was also extremely cold, but the woman was still able to stand up and look normal because she was the one who created the weather change phenomenon.
It was all actually naturally occurring just because of the impact of the ice heavy devil energy leaking from her body.
On the side of Eiji, the handsome white-haired boy.
The area around him still looks normal and still looks the same as other forest areas.
But if people, animals, or creatures around get within a hundred to two hundred meters of the boy.
They would instantly feel a heavy pressure as if the sky was collapsing on them.
There was also a terrifying feeling of terror as if that boy was a devil. No, he was a terrifying Demon King who was probably no less than the Four Great Satans or the famous Maou in the underworld!
One of those Maou happened to be the woman standing opposite him!
The two of them were clearly preparing to fight and shoot each other!
Serafall was serious, although earlier she was tempted to deliberately lose this duel. But she could not do so, after all this duel involved the future of herself and her younger sister.
She was not playing around and was serious about defeating the boy who wanted her and her younger sister as his women.
Flying in the sky with the magic wand raised up.
A giant silvery-blue magic circle appeared.
The temperature within a radius of hundreds... No, the temperature within a radius of tens of kilometers from her dropped to extreme levels.
Forests, rocks, soil and even the surrounding mountains were frozen like ice sculptures.
The center of this extreme temperature was of course the magic circle created by Serafall.
The magic circle that was now shining brightly with a silvery light like ice was directed at Eiji's location.
"Eiji-chan, I'm not holding back."
"Please don't die okay? I don't want Sona-chan to hate me."
After that she cast a spell to release her attack.
"Celsius Cross Trigger."
Although the distance between the two of them was very far apart.
Eiji had sharp eyesight, especially after he activated the Sharingan in Demon King Varvatos' transformation.
He could see Serafall's face clearly and understood what the woman was saying by reading her lip movements.
His own lips were twitching.
Saw the ice attribute concentrated in Serafall's magic circle and was about to surge to lunge towards her.
Eiji knew if he was hit by the attack.
He could become an ice statue and die on the spot.
Celsius Cross Trigger.
It was the strongest magic created by Serafall herself that could make her manipulate ice to an extreme level.
In the original work, Serafall was able to freeze the entire region of the Underworld along with the monsters created by the Annihilation Maker, with ease.
With one magic, Serafall was able to make the Underworld into a frozen wonderland.
That level of power was terrifying.
Eiji couldn't help putting on a serious expression.
But he was a little confused, he felt that the scale of this Celsius Cross Trigger was smaller than the original work.
"So that's it... Even though that woman said she wouldn't hold back. She's holding back instead and worried about me dying, right?"
"Whether she's worried about me or worried that Sona hates her..."
Eiji smiled wryly.
Since Serafall was holding back, did he also have to hold back?
Of course not.
But at least he wouldn't throw an attack that could kill Serafall either.
For example if he used Excalibur and set the holy power output to the maximum level to slash at her.
He was worried that a devil like Serafall who was quite vulnerable to holy power would die without leaving anything behind.
In short, becoming ashes.
Eiji certainly didn't want to kill a beautiful woman like Serafall, especially since she was his future wife...
Cough.
So in this duel, he would only use Varvatos' magic.
After the fusion Varvatos' character card reached 36%.
He certainly had more offensive spells that were even stronger than [Ultimatum Zero].
But the problem he was facing right now was... His magic energy.
His magic had not fully recovered and the spells he could use were limited.
Even so, to deal with Serafall's [Celsius Cross Trigger] spell which is basically ice attribute magic.
Why not use fire-attribute magic?
Using the Varvatos character card, Eiji is actually capable of using many magic attributes.
One of them is of course fire.
Fire is one of the main elements that has the strongest resistance to the ice element.
Just like fire can melt ice.
*Snap*
Snapping his fingers, ten ancient runes colored golden red like fire lined up in front of him.
Instantly, the temperature that was originally extremely cold due to the effects of Serafall's magic froze the surrounding area.
The temperature around Eiji heated up and melted all the ice.
But that wasn't the end of it of course.
Facing Serafall's [Celsius Cross Trigger] which moved like a giant ice laser towards him.
Placing one hand on the ancient rune in front of him.
Eiji chanted a longer spell than usual.
"As the phoenix flies through the eternal sky, I command its flames to mark my rise. Consume it, My Magic, and let your flaming convergence engulf all who dare oppose me!"
¶{Uwohh! My host finally said something like that!}
Ignoring Miss System who sounded excited.
Eiji who had slapped the ancient runes in front of him finally released the strongest fire magic he could use at the moment.
"Phoenixfire Convergence!"
In response to his call.
The figure of a giant Phoenix bird made of golden flames bloomed from the magic rune and flew forward while flapping its wings.
From afar, it could be seen that the giant Phoenix enveloped in flames collided with the extreme cold temperature.
In Serafall's view, she saw her [Celsius Cross Trigger] being pushed back by the giant bird-shaped golden flames and the surrounding frozen wonderland also began to evaporate.
No idea what she was thinking at that moment.
But there was a smile on her pretty face, before...
*BOOOOOOOM!!!!*
A huge explosion of fire and ice occurred in the demon forest.
Even from outside the demon forest, girls like Sona, Lala, Rias, Akeno and Tsubaki could clearly see the scene where two powerful magic attacks collided.
"Onee-sama! Eiji!"
"Eiji!"
"Eiji-kun..."
The girls were worried...
Regardless of who won and who lost the duel.
They just hoped that Eiji and Serafall were okay.
...
..
..
I don't know how much time has passed.
In a bedroom.
A white-haired boy opened his red-colored eyes and looked at the familiar ceiling of the room.
"Ugh..."
Groaning, he felt his body was very weak.
He knew this was due to the magic inside his body which had almost dried up and was still in the process of recharging.
He just needed some rest to recover.
But what was with the heaviness he felt in his chest?
Wait, it feels warm and soft too...
Looking down slightly, he saw the pink-haired girl sleeping on top of his chest while hugging him.
The girl was naked and he was also naked on the bed.
Feeling the warmth and excessive skin contact of the girl.
He couldn't help getting an erection of course.
In his current position, he is a little troubled as his erect penis is pinched.
It was slightly wedged between the soft and supple ass cheeks of the girl sleeping on top of him.
The white-haired boy, Eiji sighed.
He didn't say anything for fear of waking the girl who was fast asleep on top of him.
But in his heart, he was very... Confused.
[What happened? Can someone tell me?]
[What about the duel between me and Serafall earlier? Who won in the end?]
[The most important thing is... Did I manage to get Sera- cough, I mean Sona?!]
