The crimson princess

Pov Dia,

Scathach-sensei asked us to fight together against her.

For now, we were gathered in a circle to know what to do.

Dia:" Okay, I'll fight Scathach-sensei head-on, and you'll help me with magic to block movement or protect me."

Sera:" Will it work?"

Dia:" Absolutely not, we will be slaughtered. But we might as well do it with honor. It won't kill us, but it will hurt us enough to faint. "

Rimuru: " You will fight her with what weapon Dia-sama? "

Dia:" I think with a sword but I think I would quickly give up this weapon. Will when I ask you, could you make an ice sword? "

Sera:" Count on me, Dia-chan."

We broke the circles and put ourselves in position in front of her.

Scathach:" Shall I assume you're ready?"

Dia:" Yes, we are, even if we already know the result we will not back down."

After saying that I created a crimson sword and warned myself.

Scathach:" You sure you want to fight with that weapon you told me you weren't strong enough to fight and keep that sword in that shape?"

Dia:" I have to use it from time to time otherwise how do you want me to improve."

After saying that I rushed to her and used a horizontal blow to put her in the air.

But instead of jumping she blocked my blow with a sword.

Seeing that my strategy did not work, I took distance.

Scathach: "You really think I'll let you think."

In a leap, she found herself behind me. She went to attack me, but Sera swung ice peaks and Rimuru water blades.

Without looking, she destroyed their attack and continued the sword shot in my direction.

Fortunately Sera will create an ice pillory to propel me out of her attack field.

Scathcach:" Not bad in this way of being able to propel and which could also change a sudden change of direction. Here's one more thing I'll make you practice."

During the minute we followed I tried with Sera to perfect this movement while I attacked Scathach-sensei. Rimuru on his side was waiting for any window of attack to attack him.

I was going to hit him when I lost my focus and my sword disappeared.

Dia:" Damn it, Will go."

She created an ice sword with the same appearance and weight as mine.

I took it and put myself in an attack position.

Dia:" The real fight will begin."

I rushed to her and used everything I had learned so far.

Scathach:" Oh yes, there really is a difference between your style with a crimson weapon versus your actual style."

Dia:" This difference will disappear over time I can promise you.

Scathach: " All right, I think I should slightly increase my strength."

After saying that his shots get heavier and faster.

I didn't have a moment to rest.

Rimuru couldn't keep up with the fight and Sera couldn't support me.

At one point, Scathach-sensei switched targets and attacked Sera and Rimuru.

I rushed as quickly as possible to protect them.

Sera reacted and tried to make a wall of ice which was destroyed without worries by Scathach.

She hits Sera's head with the unsharp part of the sword, and Sera faints.

I reacted by throwing ten bullets made on POD.

She skilfully dodged them. Rimuru leaned this time swinging fireballs and other elemental attacks.

I finally arrived near Scathach-sensei to resume our fight. But instead of taking the fight seriously, she decided to have fun with me by making cuts all over my body.

Rimuru threw himself at her trying to absorb it. She kicked Rimuru who threw it away.

Scathach:" Well, it's time to finish trying not to die."

After she said she attacked me more brutally by breaking my bones.

I feel that my conscious is beginning to fade, but I have no right to let her go. She could kill me otherwise.

I tried not to fall when I felt a punch in my stomach. After that, I fainted.
