hero?it must be me

"You are her sister, the youngest daughter of the Linguang family."

Chapter 267 Chapter 97: Who do you think you are?

"you……"

Of course Maria recognized Tora.

It's better to say that Nightmare Chaser Knight's maverick outfit makes it hard not to recognize him.

What she didn't understand was why Tora came to her.

... No, it wasn't her that the Nightmare Chaser Knight was looking for.

"Where is she?"

Tora asked in a low voice.

He came here following the smell of light, but he didn't find the person he wanted.

"What are you doing with your sister?"

Maria set up her sword and shield vigilantly.

Ever since the kidnapping of her by the Harmony League, Maria has been fully armed and acted in Kavaleriaki every day under Zofia's strong request.

Perhaps thanks to the wonder of this city, she can come and go freely even with a sword on her waist, a shield on her back, and armor all over her body.

"Nothing to do with you."

Since she couldn't get an answer from Maria, Tola didn't plan to waste any more time.

He's going to continue looking for Yao Knight.

However, Maria left without intending to let him go.

Nightmare Chaser Knight is a dangerous figure, and she is well aware of this.

My sister's injury is definitely not serious, and the injury that cannot be healed immediately by magic, how can it be called a minor injury?

This dangerous guy can't be allowed to go to his sister now.

At least, not until he figured out what the hell he was going to do!

Maria said in a deep voice, "Wait, tell me clearly, what exactly do you want to do with my sister?!"

"……how?"

Tuola's voice turned cold: "You want to stop me?"

"Correct."

Maria stared at Tora intently.

Sure enough, a cold light came through the sky.

"when!"

"Ugh-"

Maria gritted her teeth and took two steps back.

Tola's knife was only used with one hand, but it was so powerful that Maria almost couldn't parry it.

She was already going all out to deal with Tola's attack, but when she actually made a move, she still ended up in such a mess after only receiving one blow.

"What makes you think you have the qualifications to stop me?"

Tuola didn't pursue, he swung his sword obliquely, and looked down on Maria: "Could it be, is it that fancy knight competition?"

"Among the rules that make people laugh, being sought after by those ignorant audiences, can't you be blinded by the cheers and applause?"

"Don't you understand, what a ridiculous blasphemy that is?!"

Maria was shocked.

After participating in the knight competition for the first time, and after participating in the knight competition for the last time and winning, Maria thought this way...

Is this the knight competition?

What have I won?

what did i get

Glory, fortune, family revival... something was missing, yes, something was always missing...

What is it?

Maria still doesn't understand it to this day.

But at that time, facing the cheers and applause of the audience, she instinctively raised her sword high.

Obviously, the pain from the arm at that time was far clearer than those cheers and applause.

"—You jester for fun, do you dare to claim to be on par with me, Tola?!"

Tuola's roar brought back Maria's thoughts.

"Go away! I'm not interested in weak children! What I want to see is Yao Knight—"

"Do not."

Maria interrupted Tuo La calmly and seriously: "I won't let you go."

"...How dare a servant of Yao Knight dare to speak nonsense?"

"Uh, subordinate?"

This made Maria feel a little overwhelmed.

"Your dreams are given by others, and your beliefs are borrowed from other places. You can use your youth as an excuse to excuse your confusion, but is it useful?"

Tuola stared at Maria: "The world laughs at the knight's pedantry and stubbornness, but who dares to deny her strength?"

"And you? What are you?"

"You're not even a knight—I repeat, get out of the way."

Tuola's big knife pointed directly at Maria: "Do you want to die?"

"……Do not."

"Stubborn."

Blades danced, swords and shields staggered.

Several successive clang sounds burst into sparks, but with just a few strokes, Maria was beaten back steadily.

The reason for all this is simple.

Tola was stronger than her, much stronger, so strong that Maria was powerless to fight back as long as she held the knife with both hands.

(It’s so heavy! It’s heavier than Titus’ halberd... Has my sister been fighting this kind of person...I...)

Maria knew that she would not be Tola's opponent, but she also realized that her current state was not right.

She is shaking.

Not only because of taking a few knives from Tola, but also because——

"look at you"

Tuo La pulled back the broadsword: "You have fallen into the quagmire of fear, and you can't even swing your weapon calmly. Like you, you are already a corpse on the battlefield."

"Stop discrediting the name of the knight!"

"Oh!"

Maria's actions made Tuo La stunned.

The little girl suddenly punched herself in the face.

How much does it hurt to hit someone with a gauntleted fist?

At least the corners of Maria's eyes immediately brought up a little tear.

"—this has nothing to do with knights."

But she still opened her mouth to Tuo without hesitation.

"As a younger sister, to protect my elder sister, does anyone need to allow this?"

The girl's teary eyes were so firm, like a blood-stained silver shield.

"What do you ask me? What about you?"

She stopped trembling and stared at Tora.

"What qualifications do you have, you don't allow me to protect my sister!"

With Maria's gentle temperament, it was difficult for her to say such "harsh" words to anyone.

But she said it anyway.

From the heart.

At this moment, the blood dripping from the girl's face from the scratching of the sharp blade seemed to flow with golden radiance under the illumination of the spell she cast seriously.

Fragile and insignificant, as long as he wants to, he can kill this ignorant girl at any time.

But why...

Looking at the golden blood, Tuola pondered for a moment.

"...Yao Knight, it's not your turn to protect."

Saying that, Tuo La stepped forward again.

This blow is going to knock Maria down——

"when!"

"—Boom!"

It was Tola who flew out backwards.

Turning her body in the air, Tuola quickly grasped her balance, and landed after flying upside down four meters, but she still staggered two steps unconsciously.

"you!"

Tara raised her voice sharply.

But unlike facing Maria's anger just now, he looked surprised and excited at this moment.

"Before fighting me, you actually want to go to Margaret first..."

Standing in front of the dazed Maria, Zheng Qi who appeared at some unknown time slowly withdrew the left fist he just punched.

He looked directly at Tola, and let out a roar like a ferocious beast would only let out from the depths of his throat after being provoked.

"Or use this kind of wounded body?"

"I have nothing—"

"Are you trying to say you don't care?"

Zheng Qi directly interrupted Tuo La.

He scolded in a deep voice: "Who do you think you are? Tola!"

"..."

"Go back to me and come back after the injury is healed."

Zheng Qi threw something, and Tuo stretched his hand to catch it.

"...the pegasus over there."

Tuola looked at Maria.

"You can never become strong by relying on other people's borrowed dreams and beliefs, unless you really believe in them."

"Obviously you're not."

"You are almost innate, with a virtue that tends to self-destruct."

"Maybe……"
