Chapter 3: QTE and Resistance Counterattacks
GG3
As soon as the doors of the Council Chamber closed, Princess Cheryl began to complain.
"Hmph! Don't pretend! It's annoying! Come on, I'll take you guys out!"
"To play? Where to?"
"Of course it's inside the king's city!"
"Your Highness, never mind, the Royal Knight is still on shift, please wait an hour later..."
"And you're in charge of me!"
Princess Cheryl turned to stare at the steward and said.
"This..."
The butler didn't know what to say and looked at us.
I sighed and walked over and said.
"Princess Xue'er stop it, the butler is also doing it for your own good isn't he? Although I don't know the situation in the Aether Empire, but since the butler said not to act casually for your safety, there must be a reason for him, right?"
I said I looked at the butler.
"Yes, yes, yes! Just wait just a little bit."
The steward even echoed the words.
"Hmm... Phil and the others will keep me safe, won't they? And Double, it's not like you don't know what she's capable of. If you don't trust Phil, why don't you just compete with him?"
"Hey hey! I thought the palace couldn't use magic!"
"Didn't you use it out this morning?"
"Although that's true... but I can't recover the magic I used."
In the morning, although I was able to use magic, the consumed magic doesn't recover as slowly as before, and by now, my magic slot is still empty for a small section.
"Well, I'll compromise then, as long as Wizard Phil can block one of my stunts, I'll feel free to let you go, okay?"
"Yes!"
Hey, hey, hey! I haven't said yes yet. Why did you answer so quickly, Princess Cher?
Looking to Alicia, she rolled her eyes at me.
'Go ahead, knight of the princess.'
'What knight, I'm a wizard.'
Looking to Aileen again, she's looking at me with a very expectant look.
Holy crap, are you guys kidding me?
You think I'm hanging on to a level 34 swordsman's best move? Usually it's a prelude to a fancy death.
Castle of Ice?
You obviously can't block the best moves. You can only joke with that defense, right?
The Palace of Ice?
It looks impressive, but I don't think it can be stopped.
The Imperial Court of Ice?
Although you can put two in a row, the defense....
"I say, why should I, a wizard, take a move from you, a swordsman?"
"How did you know I was a swordsman?"
Saying that, he took out a knight's sword.
"But I put the sword inside my storage ring."
"Instinct, I'll just know that you're a swordsman, you're in charge of me."
"Interesting, if that's the case I'll take it easy!"
In an instant, the temperature in the surroundings plummeted, the sword in the steward's hand swung, and a blue afterimage rushed straight at me!
Just say the word! Give me a little time to defend myself, please!
"Empire . The Imperial House of Ice!"
Quickly jumping backwards, then a huge wall of ice rose up from the ground, and the collision of ice and ice was like a truck crash, but before I could unleash the next Ice Emporium, I heard a bad sound from the other side.
"Orb . Tear . Crush the stars!"
"Secret Art . Absolute probability! Designated Target - Resistance Counterattack!"
It must have been too late to use Ice Emporium again, I was too busy using the skill I had just learned, although I didn't know exactly how much it would increase the probability, but the introduction said 'greatly increase the probability of the event'.
Well, then I can only take a gamble, after all, people are saying that they want me to take the move, not dodge it. Who else would eat their fill to take someone else's best move.
Boom!
The ice wall was sliced into pieces throughout, and countless blades of ice swirled towards me with ice chips!
Upon contact with my body, my blood tank was immediately reduced by half, but... in that instant, an operation panel appeared in front of me with a button that read 'Counterattack' on it!
Holy shit, you're wearing a QTE, are you kidding me?
After a quick press, one actually popped up next to it, and what a QTE!
Yes! Can't I press it? This kind of thing is not hard for me, my reflexes start the fastest!
A series of button presses, and suddenly a strange image flashed in my head...swinging a sword?
Subconsciously, I drew my tazer and swung it in the direction of the butler, following the movement of the image in my head!
It was as if my body was out of control, and a series of sword techniques were used as if they were running water .
"Austrian . Tear . Crush the stars!"
The same skill swept over in the original direction, and a blue light fiercely appeared on the butler to block the attack, but he still retreated several steps in a row.
"How... might..."
Butler looked at me like I was seeing a monster.
"Did you... actually write down your skills just by looking at them...?"
"It's just my magic, don't mind."
I said as I dabbed the blood returning potion.
Fang Zheng the other party was only a swordsman, so I guess he didn't know much about magic.
"...I see, I've always heard the emperor praise your magic before, I didn't believe that you were capable of anything as a low level magician, but seeing it today, it really is extraordinary."
The steward nodded, then put the sword away.
"Well, please be sure to keep Her Highness safe."
"Of course... Wait a moment Princess don't drag me away!"
Before I could finish my sentence, Princess Cheryl just pulled us up and started running! Where did this guy get the strength to pull the three of us off and run, it's incredible.
"If we wait any longer that old guy will definitely change his mind, run faster!"
"Okay, okay..."
Unfortunately, we had no choice but to run inside the palace with Princess Xue'er.
The soldiers around us gave strange looks when they saw us, but when they saw Princess Xue'er running in front of them, they didn't say anything.
Probably they were used to Princess Xueer's strange behavior.
And so, we ran all the way out of the imperial city and headed for the streets of the royal capital.
As the group disappeared into the corridors of the palace, the butler sighed and then snapped his fingers.
A shadow slowly appeared behind the steward and whispered.
"Watching again?"
"That's a given."
"I think that brat is strong enough, there are only a few people in this imperial capital who could possibly defeat him, and that was clearly an early move on your part, and that's not good for the wizard."
"I know, because I don't want the princess to go out at all, she'll only cause trouble if she does."
"The one called Phil in shouldn't be."
"Well, don't be lazy, just go."
"Fine fine, I'm long tired of staying here anyway."
Finished, The Shadow's figure slowly disappeared.
"Wait!"
The butler called to The Shadow.
"What's wrong?"
"Is there magic to memorize and use someone else's skills?"
"........"
Shadow paused for a moment, then said.
"You mean the skill that kid just used?"
"Yes."
"...That's why I think that kid is fine, because I don't know any skills like that either. Do you think I really want to go after those brats? I'm more interested in what that kid is all about, but he has such interesting abilities."
"That guy is your man now, I think you have a chance to find out."
"...Your Majesty has really good eyes, hahahahaha, interesting."
After saying that, the shadow completely disappeared into the air as if it had never appeared.
And the steward also sighed as he walked back to the Council Chamber.
A few seconds later, the traces of the fight above the corridor slowly returned as if it had never existed....
