"Armor of the goddess. I thought that the unique armor that almost reveals her bare feet was unusual when I first saw it, but it was a woman's armor made for the god Aisha, wasn't it?

"Yes. It was originally a treasure of the royal family of Dorren, but it is said that it was given to the head of the Risorthe family many generations ago by the then King of Dorren. It is definitely authentic.

"It would be amazing if it were real. A relic from the time of the first kings must be thousands of years old. How could they have survived in such a perfect form?

They are also called relics. I have heard that some relics have been confirmed to exist, but I think that the armor of the goddess may be the only one that is still in use.

　Oh, that's kind of cool.

　The very sound of "holy relics" somehow stirs my boyish heart.

　But it is true that there may be few relics in existence.

　After all, the Holy City was obliterated by Naja with the Light of Judgment.

　There may be few relics left.

"But it is not just old armor, is it?　If so, does it have some kind of special effect?"

That's right. The armor of the goddess itself is very special. I don't know much about it myself, but according to the lore, it is said to transform loyalty and faith into power.

"Loyalty and devotion to power?　Does wearing it increase its power?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes. The goddess is dressed in her armor and kissed on the back of the hand by a knight or other subordinate knight. Then the knight's magic becomes available to the wearer of the armor of the goddess.

"Heh. That's great. So belief is the power of faith in God?

I suppose that's the way it should be. However, it is Olivia who is currently using the armor. Therefore, rather than faith in God, it is Olivia's popularity and name recognition, isn't it?

　Apparently, the armor of the goddess is quite unusual.

　One of its functions is to allow the use of magic.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If the wearer of the armor kisses the goddess with an oath, he or she can use any magic available to him or her.

　This may have been a necessary feature for Aisha at that time.

　Aisha, with her magic circle technology, helped the first king Dogma Dorren to establish his kingdom, but there must have been times when she herself needed to be able to fight.

　However, even though she was able to increase her own magical power through the ritual of naming, she was unable to use other offensive magic.

　That is why she made that golden armor.

　So that he could use the magic of the other wizards who were around at that time.

　And it seems that it also had other functions to further increase its power.

　It was to transform the hearts of his followers into power.

　According to Brian, in the case of Olivia's magic, it is her fame that is substituted for her devotion.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I see.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　That is probably why Olivia is widely known as the Dragon Princess.

　I assume that the Kingdom of Resolute must have paid off bards and others to sing songs for Olivia so that she would become popular.

　The more famous Olivia becomes, the stronger she becomes in that armor.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This means that she would be harder to defeat and less dangerous in a real battle.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The reckless act of sending a princess of the royal lineage to the battlefield was also taken as a countermeasure.

"...... Is that armor also included in Olivia-dono?"

"Huh?　What do you mean?"

"No, if Baito wins this duel in front of the gods, he will receive Olivia, right?　That means I can have the armor of the goddess that this Lady Olivia is wearing, too.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Well, well?　What do you think?　I mean, you're getting ahead of yourself. With that armor and the jewel of the [Arrow Dodger's Blessing], I'm not at all sure if Byte-dono will be able to win.

"Oh, that's it. I'm not too worried about that. I'm sure you'll be fine.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I would love to have the armor of the goddess.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I wonder how it works.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Maybe I can bring it back to Gran to check it out, or ask Aisha about it in the god world.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Is it safe to bring it back?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I have a feeling that the Kingdom of Resolute will ask for it back, but I'm sure we'll manage.

　If Olivia comes to Baito's brother, let's tell him that she is his bride-to-be.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Olivia might be angry, but we can tell her that we will return it to her when we are done with the search.

"Oh, it looks like Brother Byte is going to make a move. Maybe it's time to decide who wins, Mr. Bryan."

"...... Is that a sword? He's going to attack with a sword while riding a flying dragon? You have to get into a very close battle in the air to hit them, but since they have the [Arrow Dodging Blessing], is there really no other choice?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"No, that sword is not just a sword, it is a magic sword. Unlike normal metal swords, it has a slightly longer attack range. It will not be a problem even if you are flying in the sky with a flying dragon.

"That was a magic sword. I see. It certainly is. It has a peculiar color. The purple blade of the sword has a mysterious atmosphere. I've never seen it before. What kind of magic sword is it?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"It is a sword of ice and flame. It has the most unusual power of all the magic swords I've made, but I think my brother Bite is the most skilled with the Ice Flame Sword right now. Watch and see. You might see something interesting.

　His ability to pilot a flying dragon, his high magical power, and his absolute defensive strength in aerial combat.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Combined with these abilities, Olivia the Dragon Princess is indeed a formidable opponent.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Even an ordinary knight or even the head of the family may have difficulty in defeating her.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The countermeasure that the Bite Brother chose against such an opponent was an attack with the Ice Flame Sword.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　While flying in the air to intersect with the opponent several times, he takes out the ice flame sword from his magic bag, grabs it, and pours magic power into it.

　Then, he approached the opponent while avoiding his attacker and swung the sword sideways.

　A sword of ice appears on the blade of the ice-flame sword when it is imbued with magic power.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The ice sword has a longer reach than the normal metal part of the sword, increasing its attack range.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, the ice sword disappears before it reaches Olivia.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　No, the ice did not disappear, but was converted into flames.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The flames were black.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　A pitch-black flame appeared and swung at the Dragon Princess, just like the Black Flame, the magic of Uruk that once drove us to our deaths.
