Second Life in Another World
Chapter 12-1

...Chapter 12: The Duel Count...

...Section 1...

Today, countless soldiers surrounded the inn where we were staying for a while. Then a horse-drawn carriage arrived right in front of the entrance of the inn, and someone came out. She was wearing a fancy-looking outfit, I knew exactly who she was.

He was a noble, and I knew immediately that he was from the Count Royal Family. In other words, it must have been Sebastian's family because it was the family that led the city that was near Netium City.

Then I remained silent in the room and waited for things to improve. Because it's a little strange to appear in the middle of a noble family. However, what happened was that my room was knocked many times.

Most likely they have checked Ruri's room, but Ruri and the others are in my room so that if attacked, they can survive together.

After knocking and continuing to knock, they finally no longer knocked on him. I was initially relieved, but suddenly the door to his room was opened by one of the soldiers belonging to the person.

We immediately prepared a defensive position because of reflexes. And behind the soldier, the man who had come out of the chariot came before me. Our eyes stared at each other for a few seconds, I could feel the killing from him.

Then He looked at Ruri and then noticed the back of Ruri's hand.

“Ohh.... So now you are enslaved, It is a disgrace of the family, now add more disgrace” Ejek that person.

“What do you mean brother, I told you before that I don't want to be that family anymore!!” Jerky Ruri.

“No matter what you want, but it will be very troublesome if you wander around at will. This is the same as spreading Aib family” he said.

“Sorry before, Before you fight each other, better introduce your name” I replied in the middle of the battle.

“Oh yes, who are you? It was as if it was disturbing the family reunion of the people” he said in a cold tone.

“My name is Zare Hilson, and she is mine now” Reply me in a high tone.

After my words just now, Ruri's face turned slightly red. Then he turned his face away from me.

“Yours?, Oh so you made her a slave huh. For a commoner like you, it's better to just let go of his contract and I'll let you live” he said as he pointed his sword at me.

“If I say I don't want to, how?” My reply.

“So you chose to die yes, Troops, attack them” His orders.

“Wait a minute, isn't it better if it's a duel?” Ask Ruri.

“Duel is only for noble families, after all He is just an ordinary person” He replied in a snobbish tone.

“So yes, Actually I also belong to a noble family, even though My Father is only a Baron” Reply to me again.

“Cih, fighting a child like you is just an easy thing” Reply arrogantly.

“The one against you is not Me, but Ruri”.

“Eh Me?” Said Ruri.

“Alright, If you lose, release the contract” He said.

“If you lose, give money compensation, and do not disturb us again”.

He nodded in agreement and said the location and time of the duel had begun. He said he would do the Duel in Nir City and the time was next week. Then he left the inn and boarded his chariot.

“How is this, I'm not sure I can win” Looks Ruri a little panicked.

“Temperature, You have become strong kok” I said.

“Do you really want to do a duel? If you lose, not only is Ruri taken, but it can also lower your self-esteem.” Obviously Mother.

“Quiet, Ruri can definitely beat him” I said.

"How can you?" Ruri's panicking.

"Of course let's practice controlling magic perfectly. Didn't you last get sloppy and blow yourself up because of the excess mana" I said.

"That was the first time I was careless and thought that I could amplify magic by adding a large amount of magic. Yet I didn't expect it to explode like that" Ruri said in defense of herself.

"Yes yes, I understand, there is no need to hide it anymore" I said as I rubbed his head.

"Stop rubbing my head, I should have rubbed your head, I'm older than you" Ruri said.

"Well, in a week, your training will increase" I said.

"Uh, strenuous exercise" Ruri said in a limp tone.

A week after the incident, the appointed time has arrived. We all decided to go to the city of Nir which is only 1 hour drive from Netium City. We passed through the forest where we hunted goblins and where we first met Ruri. And also my mother and Undine decided to stay at the inn because my mother couldn't move much.

Then during this week, I have taught Ruri how to fight well, after all She has also learned middle and upper level lava magic during that month, and also Because of the effect of my skill, after all, he now had a very high mana capacity. So I'm sure he can beat him.

Then there was a striking place, and from the looks of it, it was the seat of the Count Nobles. Then, in the middle of the arena, a person who is the older brother of Ruri was standing and holding his sword.

Me and the others except Ruri were taken to the audience seats. Then a referee was between the two of them, then when the referee said, Start, the referee immediately ran towards the edge of the arena.

His older brother Ruri or Ruel Sebastian immediately said something to Ruri.

“You want to fight with lava magic or not?” Ask Ruel.

“If you want to fight with lava magic, no problem” Reply Ruri.

“So you chose to lose with magic that you did not master ya” He said in a snobbish tone.

Then Ruel threw his sword out of the arena and then took his magic wand in his pocket. But Ruri doesn't have a magic wand at all, because I forgot to buy her. But it doesn't matter, because Ruri's ability has increased drastically.

“Oh the Spirit of Fire and Land, Show him who is a wicked man. Destroy the body, until it is not left. For your Strength, evil will perish [Lava Prison]” Ruel's mid-level Magic.

The magic trapped Ruri with the lava element and made her feel extremely hot. But Ruri can handle that.

“I didn't think that I had progressed so far” Ruri said.

“However, you can't be free now. If you stay there, you will only be thirsty and hot” replied Ruel.

“Yes honestly this is easy to destroy, want to see?” Ask Ruri to him.

“You can only speak yes. If it is easy, just destroy it” he said with a smiling face.

“[Lava Freedom]” Ruri's mid-level Magic.

A semicircular lava appeared in front of Ruri then brushed aside the lava prison and made a gap until Ruri could be free. Then Ruel's previously smiling face now turned into an annoyed face.

“Okay Spirit of Fire and Land, Attack on your power [Puncture Lava]” Magic intermediate level.

Appearing a lot of lava around Ruri then the lava extends and the tip is pointed so that it can stab his opponent. But Ruri can dodge by jumping.

“Cih, it looks like I'll be serious this time” Ruel said.

“Then, I will also seriously” Reply Ruri.

“----- [Lava Warrior Guided]” Ruel's top-level lava magic.

The magic was shaped like a stone bullet, but it was smaller and faster in size and was very numerous in number. And also this magic can penetrate earth magic though and also water magic does not affect this magic.

“You won't be able to avoid this kan” Ruel said with a sly smile.

“I will not shy away. But your attack will not hit me” Reply Ruri with a smile as well.

The Lava bullet rushed towards Ruri quickly. Then Ruri prepared one of her strongest magic in order to survive the attack.

“If you can't avoid it, then only one way, which is to block its magic” explained Ruri.

“Then, try to survive unharmed” Ruel said in an arrogant tone.

“[Lava Wall Layered]” Top-level magic useful for creating many walls with lava elements.

If using earth magic to take shelter, surely the land will melt due to lava magic from the duel. Therefore, Ruri used a shield from lava to fend off the lava.

The Lava bullet instantly vanished upon touching the lava wall. It happened because Ruri's Lava could absorb the lava that Ruel had.

“------ [Lava Column]” Ruel's top-tier magic.

The hole below Ruri then began to appear lava from the bottom. Ruri jumped straight away but was blocked by Ruel with her earth magic so that it did not have any gaps to escape.

Connect!!

Note :

After a few days of not updating, it might be a bit annoying for you guys, but thanks to that, I was able to finish the ending of the second arc. And immediately make a groove for arc 3. So instead of those few days, I made a map.

although not very useful, but this can make it easier for you if mc is adventuring and moving areas.

(Sorry also the picture is ugly, the author can not picture)
