Strength 99999 but the Holy Sister

Pittman wanted to find out what Elsa was thinking. Regardless of whether Vivian won or lost, Pittman had to carefully consider what to do next - because the selection of this generation of holy nuns could no longer be carried out in the same way as fifty years ago.

Anyway, the Holy City has already appointed Aisha as the head of the Holy Sisters at the request of the Sage Lord...

"I'm going to the North again, maybe even into the Northern Kingdom."

"what?"

Pittman was a little surprised.

"There are clues about the vampires and the mysterious man there. I will go there with Tricia, and after I finish this, I will go directly to the Holy City."

Aisha gave a brief explanation involving the vampires, and Pittman nodded seriously, as if thinking about something.

"Is there anything we in the Holy See can do to help?"

"If there is one, I'll bring it up."

At this moment, Sibern, who had been silent all this time, suddenly moved his eyes slightly, and remembered the new news he got in the morning - there were still some troubles inside the Dammas Fortress that had not been resolved, and now a mysterious necromancer and an abyss magic user who was wandering outside the fortress appeared.

Since it is related to the magic of the abyss, perhaps I should report it to Elsa. After all, it was Elsa who first dealt with Luther, and the witch of the forest also has some relationship with Elsa.

But before he could open his mouth, the game had already begun.

"Please give me more advice."

"Um... please... give me some advice..."

Nina and Vivian stood on either side of the field, a few dozen steps apart. The ground beneath their feet was slowly moving under the repair of the field magician, repairing the damage caused by the previous battle.

The huge training ground had been destroyed for several days, and a large area of ​​floor tiles had already been replaced. These tiles had been strengthened with magic, and there was a special magic circle underneath the ground for support. However, a lot of damage still occurred due to the battle between the holy nuns.

As the referee pressed down the flag in his hand, the heavy shield warrior Nina rushed directly towards Vivian - this scene was so similar to two days ago, except that this time she prepared magic bottles of fire and hurricane as countermeasures in order to limit Vivian's ice and snow fog.

Vivian obviously knew this, so she simply gave up on the ice and snow fog and instead covered the ground with a piece of white crystal - still a bunch of sharp ice spikes to restrict Nina's charging.

Vivian had used this trick two days ago, but when she used it again today, Nina and Vivian both noticed something strange.

Swift and sharp, Vivian's magic circle construction speed has obviously become smoother and faster, and the solid ice crystals seem to be more solid and colder than two days ago - Elsa also noticed this, which made Elsa feel a little strange.

Can one person's determination really bring about such a big change? This isn't some hot-blooded manga, so it's actually quite strange.

boom--

Nina's side shield hit the ice spikes hanging upside down from the ground. The heavy force made her feel the dull vibration of the shield, and she frowned tightly.

"So you weren't at your full strength two days ago?"

"I'm sorry, I don't know what's going on...but I have to win."

"So do I, for that matter."

During the battle, Vivian was no longer timid, and a glimmer of light flickered in her determined eyes.

No one knew the changes in herself better than Vivian herself - she felt the abundant magic power bursting out from deep within her body, and the magic power flowing more smoothly. Her perception of magic became clearer than ever, as if something she was already familiar with had become even more handy.

Even though I didn't feel this way until yesterday's battle...

strangeness……

There was no point in thinking about this now. Vivian condensed seven sharp ice cones in the blink of an eye. Each one was as thick as the armed sword in Nina's hand. In an instant, they stabbed at Nina from three directions at the same time. Nina let out a low cry and sank her knees.

"Protect me!"

Hold your ground.

The square shield was directly inserted into the ground, splashing countless ice chips and blocking the ice cones from the side. Nina raised her sword to cut a long and narrow groove, and the sword tip smashed the oncoming ice cones. Then she turned around with great force and hit the ice cones with a side elbow hook with a holy light, smashing them into pieces.

This condensed combo was skillful and simple. Nina kicked with her foot, pulled up the shield, and rushed towards Vivian heavily and firmly like a rolling rock. At the same time, she threw the flame magic bottle in her hand, trying to disrupt Vivian's magic with the chaotic high temperature and surge of magic elements.

Flames erupted and boiled in front of Vivian.

Vivian's face was calm as she flipped her wand over and pressed it down. The rising flames suddenly calmed down, becoming a magic spell in Vivian's hand, and she quickly flung it towards Nina.

"Magical usurpation?"

Pittman was really surprised this time. This was not a simple technique, nor was it something that could be easily accomplished with abundant magic power. Instead, it required extremely high control over the magic power of the caster. Even if it was just to re-direct an ownerless spell like the Flame Magic Bottle, the manipulation method was extremely complicated. Even if this was done with preparation, there was a certain risk, let alone at this time?

It is indeed rare to find a wizard who can perform magical usurpation with such ease.

Like Pittman, Nina was somewhat surprised that Vivian would use this move, as Vivian had never used it in previous battles. She hurriedly raised her shield for defense, and holy light surrounded her. With a loud bang, the shield and holy light resisted the attack for her.

The holy light dimmed again, and Nina felt her magic power being consumed bit by bit. When the flames disappeared, she rushed forward quickly again.

The cold feeling soaked through her.

She almost instinctively leaped sideways, and the next moment, the ice on the ground was lifted up like a volcanic eruption. It was a trap hidden in the ice and snow, and Nina finally came within close range of Vivian.

Just like two days ago, Vivian once again used a thick ice wall to block Nina's shield attack, but the difference was that today Nina did not break the ice wall in one go.

It's too tiring.

Nina's heart was shaken because her magic power had reached its limit. However, she had finally gotten close to Vivian, and the battle had just begun, but she felt an unsustainable sense of exhaustion.

Moreover, Vivian's higher-level magic is almost ready - Vivian's magic power is more abundant today, and the speed of constructing the magic circle is also faster.

The deadly threat filled Nina's heart with resentment. She subconsciously roared, and the last of the holy light condensed on the straight sword in her hand. With a single blow, she cut through the annoying ice wall. The moment the ice wall collapsed, icy fireworks erupted—

When Nina rushed out of the frost, her whole body was wrapped in a layer of ice mist, but she also came in front of Vivian and swung her sword, which was blocked by the frost sword transformed by the staff - this scene was so familiar, but compared with two days ago, Nina was absolutely at a disadvantage this time, because the sword in her hand had been clamped tightly by the frost and could not move.

Fang Dun slapped towards Vivian's face, but was met with a huge water ball. Fang Dun fell into the water ball. Although it was a huge force, it was absorbed and diffused by the water ball in an instant. Even when Nina pulled it back violently, Fang Dun seemed to be sucked into the water ball.

At this moment, Vivian seized the opportunity and stabbed Nina's chest with an ice blade. Nina had to drop her weapon and use her arm armor to block it, but the next second, the ground under her feet suddenly stabbed out sharp ice cones, pointing straight at Nina, restricting her movements like a prison.

Vivian's higher-level magic was also ready. For a moment, the entire training ground was covered with ice and snow. Countless ice spikes hung upside down from top to bottom, neatly aimed at Nina who was trapped in the ice hammer cage. They would be shot towards Nina at Vivian's command.

The field suddenly became quiet. The magic circle in Vivian's hand slowly rotated, and everything else seemed to be still at this moment.

"……I lost."

Nina finally sighed helplessly and tiredly, raising her hand to admit defeat.

Vivian also smiled, removed the ice cage, and reached out to Nina.

The outcome has been decided.

Elsa was not very surprised - Vivian's magic power was more abundant than that of magicians of the same level, which was one of the characteristics of a witch. On top of that, Vivian showed stronger control over magic than in the previous two battles. Vivian almost defeated Nina, so the result was not surprising.

But what surprised Elsa was that Vivian was indeed stronger today than she was yesterday and two days ago.

What's going on? Has Vivian been deliberately hiding her abilities until yesterday?

That's not Vivian's style.

That's strange. If she suddenly became stronger, what was the reason? Magic practice in this world is based on fundamental principles; there's no way she could suddenly become stronger. Vivian had been with Elsa the entire night, and Elsa hadn't noticed any signs of Vivian's increased strength. After all, they'd been kissing almost non-stop since noon.

It's impossible that kissing can make you stronger, right?

That would be hilarious.

……

221. Aisha is more cunning than the fox (3K)

Vivian won, although it couldn't be said to be extremely easy, but it was much simpler than she had imagined - when the difference in strength reached a certain level, the magician's disadvantage against the warrior might be eliminated, and the warrior's already meager magic power reserves would be exposed.

So when Vivian became stronger, the balance of power shifted towards Vivian.

To be honest, Vivian herself wasn't quite sure why she performed so exceptionally well today. She couldn't explain the feeling. Strictly speaking, it wasn't that her control over magic had become stronger, but rather that her perception of magic had become more acute and the amount of magic stored in her body had become greater. These two qualities were as important to a magician as strength is to a warrior. Therefore, her control over magic had become more handy, and she had correspondingly demonstrated greater strength.

The church even examined Vivian and confirmed that she did not use some banned drugs to temporarily enhance her strength, but relied on her own strength to win.

At this point, Vivian was almost completely confirmed as one of the final five winners. Vivian was genuinely happy, as this meant she could follow Aisha to the Holy City. She didn't have any particular thoughts about a position like the Holy Nun, but she simply wanted to follow Aisha. Wherever Aisha went, she wanted to go too.

And the mother also said that in the future, the mother and daughter will not be separated, and the mother will leave the town of Mallaig.

Vivian's vision for the future was simple. She wanted to live with her mother, Elsa and the three of them. It would be even better if she could see Filia and Ruth more often - for Vivian, nothing could be happier than that.

After the final confirmation after the game, Vivian couldn't wait to go to the back of the training ground, where Elsa was waiting for her.

"Elsa——"

She ran towards Elsa lightly and excitedly, but considering that they were still in the lord's mansion, she couldn't help but suppress her urge to ask for a kiss - even if there was no one else nearby, she was a little hesitant to do such a bold thing.

Because Vivian didn't want to bring trouble to Elsa. Unlike Vivian who no one cared about, Elsa was a "hero" who was watched by many people, so at least at this time she should not do anything out of line.

That's what Vivian felt.

So she stopped.

"Sorry... I kept Aisha waiting..."

"Fortunately, the wait wasn't long, and the sun wasn't too strong today, so it was quite comfortable."

Aisha's smile went straight to Vivian's heart, making her chest swell.

"Anyway, congratulations, Vivian—your tactics are beautiful and excellent."

If Vivian can win the game, Elsa will be happy for her from the bottom of her heart. Elsa knows Vivian's little thoughts - if the person she likes is willing to accompany her in this way, no one can remain indifferent.

Aisha was very willing that Vivian could pour her love on her in this way.

"Then... the promise we made this morning..."

Vivian's voice was low and soft. She clearly cared about it, yet she looked a little shy, which was very cute.

Elsa couldn't help but smile.

"You...didn't you win the game just for this?"

This was the second time such a question was asked. Vivian blushed and hesitated without answering.

"Because I... I like Aisha... so..."

Vivian's voice dropped, and Aisha didn't ask any further questions. A brief silence fell between the two of them.

Aisha smiled slightly, and Vivian looked up, only to see Aisha's loving eyes fixed on her.

"Vivian, you've really become cunning."

Elsa moved sideways to block Vivian's figure, lifted Vivian's chin with her clean knuckles, and pressed her soft lips against Vivian's.

Vivian closed her eyes with her eyelashes fluttering, and the kiss deepened.

"Vivian is so cunning, getting more and more cunning. Obviously, the Vivian in the past would never say such a thing - obviously you know that I like you, I like you so much, so you finally started to do bad things to me without fear, right?"

Elsa's kiss became deeper and deeper, but she did not try to seize control. Instead, she entangled Vivian, making Vivian blush and her heart beat non-stop.

"No...it's not..."

Vivian argued incoherently. She really couldn't learn to kiss as smoothly as Elsa and speak clearly at the same time.

"What don't you mean? Don't you want to be with me?"

"Yes... but... I'm not fearless just because Elsa likes me... In fact, I'm very scared... I'm afraid that Elsa will leave me..."

"I won't leave you, and you can't leave me."

“Hmm…Hmm!?”

Suddenly, Vivian's tongue was bitten, and she squinted in pain - she secretly looked at Elsa, and she saw that Elsa's bright eyes were covered with an enchanting color, and there was a hint of dissatisfaction in her eyes.

Vivian rarely saw Elsa show such an expression, and her heart couldn't help but skip a beat.

She was frightened.

"Does it hurt?"

Aisha asked.

"Um……"

Vivian's voice was soft.

"I did it on purpose," Aisha lowered her voice, a hint of accusation and a hint of coquettishness, "—as punishment for Vivian underestimating my love for you. You are not allowed to say such irresponsible words in the future, or I won't bite my tongue next time."

At such a close distance, Vivian and Elsa looked at each other. She blushed and couldn't help but stare in amazement.

Elsa's curled golden eyelashes are very beautiful, lightly outlining the color of the sun. Elsa's breathing is entangled with Vivian's exhalation, and her face, which is so close, is also a little red. The rosy red color gives Elsa a layer of attractive haziness.

"I'm sorry... I didn't mean to say that..."

Vivian responded with another kiss.

"Call my name."
