Book 1 Chapter 731
Leo let out a deep sigh, looking at Lisinas who was glaring at him with murderous eyes.
"I guess I'll have to wait until she calms down a bit."
There was no way he could have a proper conversation with Lisinas, who was boiling with rage.
Based on past experience, her anger would subside somewhat soon.
"Besides… the body Lisinas is using right now is Chloe's."
Not if it were Lisinas's original body.
He didn't think punches and kicks from Chloe's body, a pure mage who couldn't use Aura or Summoning, would hurt.
Compared to a dragon's strong physique, a human body would be weak.
"Well, even if she uses magic, I think I can block it."
Thump- thump-
Lisinas's footsteps woke Leo from his thoughts.
Swish-
Lisinas unbuttoned her collar, apparently bothered by the school uniform tie neatly tied around her neck, pulled it loose, and then tied Chloe's long hair tightly.
Celiana Chloe was also known as a meticulous honor student with upright attire and demeanor.
However, she was cute compared to Lisinas.
The fact that Lisinas had loosened her clothes to this extent was proof of how angry she was.
Leo chuckled as he watched Lisinas roll up her sleeves.
Seeing that, Lisinas's eyes twitched.
"Laughing? Do you think I'm easy to deal with right now?"
"No. In the past, when you got angry, I used to flinch a little too."
"For someone like that, weren't you quite chatty?"
Harsh words came out of Lisinas's mouth.
Her expression became even more ferocious.
Unlike Leo, who laughed when angry, Lisinas's expression became fierce when she was angry.
And the only person who could make Lisinas this angry was Kyle.
With Luna, they were very close best friends.
There were times they bickered, but that was just a difference of opinion.
They never snarled at each other like Kyle did.
Rather, Lisinas and Luna secretly admired each other.
Lisinas's dignified presence that drew people to her and gave hope even in desperate situations.
Luna's cheerful, free spirit that always made people laugh even in difficult circumstances.
They had never fought because they secretly longed for the qualities the other possessed that they lacked.
In Dwenor's case, they respected each other, so they never fought, except when he talked about being a nude model, and the same was true for Arion.
To Lisinas, Arion was like a younger sibling, the youngest member of the party who needed to be looked after, and Arion blindly followed Lisinas's words.
Only Kyle made Lisinas angry.
And that was one of Lisinas's true aspects.
The weight of the world is heavy.
Especially if it's a world on the brink of destruction.
That's why Lisinas was conscious of others' gazes.
She never showed a relaxed side in front of others.
Her sadness.
Her exhaustion and hardship.
Her laughter and chatter.
She couldn't easily show any of it.
Lisinas was also a being with emotions.
She cried when sad, rested when tired and struggling, and laughed when happy.
However, since she took on the burden of a world on the verge of destruction, she could no longer carelessly show such emotions in front of others.
She had to show the image of a wise king who, unshaken, led the world to hope at all times and in all places.
That's how she could give unwavering trust.
Being swayed by emotions might look weak.
Thus, Lisinas had always deceived people with a false facade.
A swindler who tells white lies.
That's what it means to carry the world.
However, the only time Lisinas showed emotional behavior was when she got angry at Kyle.
The viciousness and sharpness of the surviving hero Kyle were famous even in Gardsron.
And getting angry at Kyle was one of the few moments Lisinas could be truly herself.
It was the only time she could be completely honest with her emotions.
"Seeing you angry now, you look cute."
When he looked at her with a bit more composure, he thought so.
Lisinas paused at Leo's words.
"Cute?"
She narrowed her brow.
However, her momentum had somewhat subsided.
'Ah. This is annoying.'
She hated that she felt better at Leo's honest reaction, but she didn't entirely dislike it either.
Leo said to the such Lisinas.
"Yeah. Now that I think about it, Chloe really has a cute angry face."
"……"
Watching Leo push her mood back down again, Lisinas asked back.
"So you're saying Chloe is cute?"
"And?"
"Yeah. It was my fault for expecting anything from a moron like you."
Leo scratched his cheek as he watched her.
'Should I stop teasing her?'
It was true that Lisinas looked cute.
It was natural to feel that way when she was perceived as less of a threat.
'I guess I'm a bit twisted too.'
As Leo chuckled and was about to speak.
Whoosh-!
"……?"
Lisinas appeared before Leo's eyes in the blink of an eye.
"What?"
Leo's eyes widened at the speed that surpassed his expectations.
In the meantime, Lisinas's fist struck Leo's abdomen.
Bang-!
Crack-
A blast of cold air erupted from her fist, sending Leo flying.
Thud! Thud! Whoosh-!
Leo rolled several times on the hallway floor before managing to regain his balance and stand.
'That speed just now?'
Even though Lisinas was in Chloe's body, Chloe's body had its limits.
But Lisinas's speed just now far surpassed Leo's expectations.
'Did she move enough to put a strain on the body? No, no matter how angry she is, Lisinas wouldn't damage someone else's body…'
As far as he thought, Leo suddenly felt the floor was slippery.
Leo made a strange expression as he saw the floor turned into ice.
'Did I slip?'
The moment he deciphered the source of the speed.
Lisinas slid on the ice, approaching Leo.
There were ice blades like skate blades attached to the soles of her shoes.
"This is more painful than I thought…"
Swish-!
Seeing Lisinas closing the distance at tremendous speed again, Leo hastily drew his sword.
Clang-!
The ice blade under her feet and Leo's sword crossed.
Instantly, Leo was pushed back.
Whoosh-!
'Gravity Magic.'
She momentarily increased the gravity at her feet.
Using that weight, she slid at tremendous speed, delivering the impact directly to Leo.
Kwagagagag-!
Leo stuck his sword into the ground to stop himself from sliding and looked straight ahead.
Lisinas was already gone.
'She didn't move fast. Spatial magic?'
But he didn't feel the characteristic magical fluctuation of spatial magic.
Sharpening his senses, Leo suddenly turned around.
"Grind your teeth! You damn brat!"
Thwack-!
Lisinas, who appeared from behind, punched Leo in the jaw.
Leo's body was sent flying by the impact.
"What the…!"
As Leo's head buzzed with the impact and he tried to counter.
Crack-!
Chloe's body was absorbed into the icy floor.
Seeing that, Leo's face hardened.
'A magic Luna created for Chloe.'
A magic that allows the user to momentarily enter the spirit realm.
He understood how Lisinas was able to evade his senses.
She had temporarily materialized into a spirit and moved through the ice.
Lisinas, known as the strongest spirit user in history, had perfectly wielded that magic in Chloe's body.
Tap- staggering!
Leo, who narrowly stood in place, felt his legs go weak.
'I underestimated her.'
His opponent was none other than Lisinas.
She was at the pinnacle of summoning.
Moreover, her knowledge of magic was no less than his, if not deeper.
It was somewhat natural that Lisinas could bring out Chloe's potential to the maximum.
'I shouldn't have seen her as cute and underestimated her.'
Fwoosh-
Flame Aura emanated from Leo's body.
Leo, with a red glint in his eyes, struck the floor with the flame aura from his hand.
Kagagagag-!
The ice began to crack, and soon the ice started to melt.
At the same time, Lisinas appeared from behind Leo.
Grab-!
Lisinas grabbed Leo from behind and hugged him.
Swoosh- crack-!
Then, immense cold began to freeze Leo's body.
Grab-! Fwoosh-!
Leo grabbed Lisinas's neck and breathed fire.
Lisinas, with a cold expression, focused the cold on her fingertips and pushed Leo's hand away.
Swoooooooooosh-!
Thick steam erupted as ice and fire met, engulfing the surroundings.
Leo shook off the frost clinging to his clothes as he unfroze his body.
Lisinas rubbed her neck, which had been held by Leo, and reached out her hand.
Crack-!
Lisinas created an ice sword and pointed it at Leo, holding the sword.
"So, you want to fight seriously?"
Leo sneered at her, and Lisinas snorted.
The killing intent emanating from the two collided.
Crack-
The walls began to crack just from their momentum.
Watching from afar, Chen Xia's expression turned serious.
'This is going to be really bad.'
But this was a fight between great heroes.
She didn't dare to intervene herself.
'There is only one person who can stop this fight.'
The Dragon Lord, Melina.
'Where on earth is Professor Mel?'
Chen Xia waited anxiously for Mel, but there was no sign of Melina.
***
"Uh, how is it?"
En asked cautiously, and Mel smiled brightly.
"It's perfect! The combination of Lisinas's beautiful black hair and white flowers will look so good together!"
A beautifully decorated room.
Not overly luxurious, nor lacking.
The room, with its elegant feel, even felt sacred.
The two dragons, unaware of the situation, were busy decorating the room to please their great ancestor.
