I Was the Strongest Sword God in My Past Life - I Was the Strongest Sword God in My Past Life chapter 62

part 62

“Today, the streamer will be no more than 4 people at most.”

The gate of the gate-topping right was narrow, and the number of streamers who wanted to broadcast was countless. If Ji-Eun and Amy parted ways, Amy would not have the influence and connections to compete.

Snap.

Amy swallowed her saliva with a serious expression.

– Thinking is thinking, thinking is thinking

– Even if Kristina wins, I’ll be devastated

– I’ll survive even if the team loses! Extreme individualism activation!!

– This is capitalism, man…

But no matter how she thought, there was only one good picture.

“Isabelle must win!”

Then, all this crisis would turn into an opportunity. The 1v1 score would build up the anticipation, and Ji-Eun could enter the stage in the highest-level atmosphere.

That would be a chance to break through the viewing rate and become a weekly hot topic.

“Ah.”

But there was still a huge problem left.

“Why did it have to be the swimming pool?”

Amy sighed as she looked at the screen.

[Map – Blue Dell Mar Swimming Pool]

[Guide – 1st Area Maximum Size Blue Delmar Swimming Pool is…….]

Tch.

Isabel did not even read the explanation of the hologram and turned it off. What was important to her right now was not the setting.

“What’s this… a swimming pool?”

The transparent waves glistening on the floor.

The endless path and the bright blue sky reminiscent of the sea. The Blue Delmar Swimming Pool was like the sea.

However, there was only the central wooden road and the brightly colored buoys for her to rely on.

“This is the worst.”

Isabel, who hated getting wet, considered this place to be a punishment.

Not knowing whether Kua knew her feeling or not, he waved at her from the opposite buoy.

“Hello! Isabel, right?”

Kua’s blue hair reflected the sunlight and shone brightly, accompanied by his bright smile, making him look harmless like an animal. His atmosphere was so relaxed that it made his opponent let their guard down.

“Goodbye, then. I’ll be sorry later, okay?”

But Isabel was not the kind of person who would let her guard down because of a smile.

“Do you have a problem? I’m saying this, but… the surroundings are all water, aren’t they?”

“The one who’s to blame is the one who does it.”

“Ah, it’s impressive.”

[Start!]

As soon as Kua’s response ended, the preparation time was over. The two of them shone with their auras, and the magic appeared. The gloves that looked similar in color but had opposite properties appeared.

Gggggg!

Isabel pulled out her mana. The calm swimming pool water began to stir, and the buoys shook.

And Kua was the same.

Gggggg! Pew! Pew! Pew! Pew!

The giant fireball and the tidal wave collided.

Fog obscured the view, and water splashed. Isabel strengthened her legs with mana. She jumped onto the wooden road and ran forward like a madwoman.

Pong! Pong! Pong! Pong!

Too fast!

Kua’s droplets of water only hit the floor where Isabel had passed.

‘I feel like my body has become lighter than before.’

The result of Jen’s special training.

Isabel dodged the water splash with a backstep and hurled a fireball like a pitcher.

The fire evaporated the water and flew towards Kua with a sharp trajectory.

Pffft! Bang!

The water curtain from the swimming pool jumped out and blocked the fireball.

“Whoa! Nice one!”

Kua, like a conductor, stood on the boat with his hands moving, and the swimming pool transformed into a massive, sentient creature.

Pffft! Bang!

The tidal wave swept Isabel away.

“Haah! Hoo-ha! Hmph!”

Isabel, who had fallen into the water, coughed. But the swimming pool didn’t stop, creating a massive tidal wave and covering her head again.

“Waaah!”

Isabel stretched out her hands in a hurry.

The released mana created a wave that branched into two.

Tssss!

Isabel climbed up the wooden road. Although mana was abundant, Isabel needed to create fire, and Kua could simply draw out the surrounding water to quench it.

Too big a difference in efficiency.

Kua was amazed that Isabel had managed to block his attacks up until now.

“You’re really good. You have a lot of mana, don’t you?”

Kua smiled sweetly.

The exhausted Isabel gasped for breath.

‘If I lose here……’

Isabel always won.

Even if she didn’t desire victory, her talent made it so.

But, unlike any other time, she now felt like she was about to lose.

How can she win? Isabel was complex, with many thoughts swirling in her head.

Tss! Tss!

A sound came from something stuck in her ear.

[Can you hear it well?]

A voice too familiar.

Isabel touched her ear.

‘Ah, Ragothis?’

The identity of the sound was Ragothis, an artifact obtained from an air drop. ’It’s an artifact, isn’t it.’

This connected the space-dwelling Jen and Isabelle.

Ting.

[Isabelle, what do you think? Be careful.]

Isabelle, who had a playful tone, looked at Koua with a smile.

“Hey.”

Koua responded with a puzzled expression, and Isabelle lit a beautiful fire on her gauntlet.

“Now it’s 2:1.”

With even S-level coaches added, she was no longer afraid.

Popping!

The water in the pool began to bubble, and foam balls the size of basketballs rose to the surface.

Ding.

This was Koua’s [Mana Bubble].

The foam was a terrifying magical tool that would suck up mana as soon as it touched it.

“Well, let’s go!”

As Koua raised her hand, the foam balls flew towards Isabelle. However, it was a futile effort.

Ta-ting! Pfft-pfft!

Fingers, hair, legs.

The foam barely missed Isabelle and swept her away. Unlike before, her movements had become lighter, as she had invested most of her mana in her body.

‘Fast, fast!’

While Koua was surprised, Isabelle slowly backed away. Then, Koua deliberately provoked Isabelle.

“Are you running away?”

“How do you think?”

A relaxed expression.

It was definitely a change. It was only natural, as Isabelle now had Jen behind her.

* * *

Tat-tat!

Isabel ran along the wooden road.

From noble mtl dot nete

Even so, Kua didn’t move. The water in the pool churned and moved like a boat. The enormous pool, reminiscent of the Atlantic Ocean, seemed endless.

“Can you take it on?”

A difficult training. A body strengthened by mana.

Isabel’s breathing remained uniform even as she ran.

-“This is a one-time chance. You’ve already done it once, Isabel!”-

Just as the voice of Jen from the Basilica rang out, Isabel’s thoughts were interrupted for a moment.

‘Already done it once…’

Ah, and then I remembered a similar experience from the Tower of Mana.

Back then, I had risked my life. If I failed, I would die instantly. But Jen and Isabel had thrown themselves from an impossibly high altitude.

“That’s it. It’s not a big deal.”

Isabel gradually slowed down.

Just then, Kua quickly caught up to her.

“Are you tired?”

With his arms crossed, Kua spoke, and Isabel smiled mockingly.

“No, this is your grave.”

There were many buoys scattered haphazardly in the center of the pool. These buoys were Isabel’s stepping stones, straight to Kua’s reach.

“Ha ha, this is fun.”

Whoa!

The waves crashed over the wooden road again.

But Isabel was even faster. Ignoring the churning water, she moved from buoy to buoy.

Amazing balance.

When Isabel bent her head, a bullet shot out, and water droplets burst forth in the spot she had just passed.

Clang! Bang!

Every time their hands moved, water and fire danced, creating a whirlpool of hot heat and cold water spray.

The momentary mistake in the battle between the Saber-holders who handled the Madōki was the end.

But Isabelle’s one shot was not the Madōki.

“Just a little! Just a little closer!”

Isabelle dodged the Madōki and was steadily getting closer to Koa.

And then Koa, having let his guard down to cast the Madōki.
