The Forbidden Magic Laws of a Fallen Princess

However, it seems that Otoha's special move cannot be stopped.

It struck my shield of light directly with a single blow.

Then I heard a loud "boom" and I felt a huge tremor in the sky.

Immediately afterwards, about ten swords of light were shattered on the spot, and dozens of other blades of light showed very obvious cracks.

Honestly, I never imagined that Otoha would have such strength... This is terrifying!!!

Chapter Sixteen: Otoha Voluntarily Forfeits the Duel

Good heavens, what kind of power is this...?

My light shield, formed from such a hard blade of light, was shattered and cracked so much...

I'm finding this really tough right now...

At that moment, I could clearly feel my magic being thrown away in an instant.

Sure enough, these blades of light contained a large amount of my magic power. A shattered blade of light was equivalent to my magic power disappearing directly, while a cracked blade of light was equivalent to my magic power slowly leaking out due to the size of the crack.

In short, if this shield of light is completely shattered...

That would be equivalent to draining all my magic power...

Goodness, these are all terrifying.

However, the fact that so much of my magic was drawn out all at once, and in such an instant, is something I really can't bear.

At this moment, I feel a little dizzy and nauseous.

Sure enough, if I encounter a truly powerful technique, I'll avoid using it unless it's mortal danger...

Ugh, I'm really feeling terrible right now.

Just after Otoha's powerful attack ended, to my surprise, she didn't attack again.

She knelt on one knee, her head bowed low, and her breathing seemed to become rapid.

"I abstained."

At this moment, Otoha slowly raised her arm, thus announcing her abandonment of the duel.

However, I was completely dumbfounded, because if she continued to attack with such power, I was very likely to be defeated.

Because Otoha's strength is just too great...

Since Otoha has forfeited, I naturally withdrew the light shield formed by the light blade and began to slowly fly towards the ground.

When I flew to Otoha's side, I found that she was panting heavily and her back was soaked with sweat.

It seems she has exceeded her limit and felt she could no longer endure it, which is why she withdrew and stopped fighting.

"As expected of my daughter, she is really strong. No wonder she was able to kill the Demon King in one blow."

At this moment, my father, Emperor Yi, walked slowly toward me with an excited and radiant smile on his face, clapping his hands.

"Father, I didn't expect Otoha to be so strong... Really, if she could have attacked three times in a row like just now, I might have lost."

My defense is a shield made of incredibly hard blades of light.

Furthermore, since it is layered upon layered, even direct attacks from super-level magic can generally be split into single-target damage, preventing it from being shattered or cracked like Yin Yu's lightning impact.

And since it was indeed shattered, it proves that Otoha's attack had surpassed the strength of a super-tier magic...

"Daughter, did you see the magic circle that appeared on Otoha's forehead during the battle?"

"Yes... I did see it."

That's right, just as Otoha was gathering her magic power, the magic circle was still emitting a pale blue light.

This is certainly not something a human being should have.

It's more like some kind of magical artifact.

"Actually, it's the blessing of the ancient treasure, the Spirit Demon Rune, a very rare rune with an extremely low chance of matching a person. Yin Yu is indeed an exception; she can perfectly utilize this Spirit Demon Rune, which is quite rare."

At this time, my father, Emperor I, truly held Otoha in high regard.

"Why is Otoha like this now? Will there be any side effects to her...?"

Honestly, seeing her like this, I'm quite worried.

"There will definitely be side effects, because this is unleashing power beyond one's limits. But don't worry, Otoha is very strong, she'll be back to normal by tomorrow, Claude!"

Just then, my father, Emperor I, shouted the name of Claude, the commander of the Royal Guard who had blocked my way earlier.

"Yes!!!"

In an instant, Claude came running over, accompanied by two royal city medics.

"Take Otoha down there and let her rest properly."

"learn!"

And so, Otoha was lifted onto something that looked like a stretcher.

"Your Highness... your strength is indeed formidable. I never expected you could fly... this really made me a little careless."

Despite the pain, Otoha smiled slightly at me before falling into a coma.

Sure enough, these so-called spirit demon patterns can indeed provide enhancements to oneself for a short period of time, or for a slightly longer period of time.

Perhaps Otoha is betting that her full-force attack will hit me squarely.

While they might not be able to completely defeat me in the air, they could certainly severely injure me.

However, if I can't hold on, my father, Emperor Yi, might rush over to stop me, because he actually dotes on me.

"In that case, my daughter, I'll teach you a new trick tomorrow. I think you'll find it useful in the future."

"Okay, Father."

And so, my duel with Otoha came to an end.

However, the ending was quite good; neither of us was injured, which is actually quite wonderful.

Just as I left the castle’s backyard with my father, I heard what sounded like the strategist of the Beginning Kingdom giving orders to a group of soldiers.

Because my father, Emperor I, must have been very concerned about the information I provided.

Furthermore, they intend to provide support to the Kingdom of Lofest, a kingdom in the southeast with which they have a strained relationship and are currently in a state of cold war.

That's right, according to them, Lophis's political system is very poor, and the king has some tyrannical tendencies.

However, since it concerns matters of the world, even a tyrant would naturally consider it carefully.

Because once the Kingdom of Beginnings falls, the Dwarf Kingdom will surely be next.

Moreover, the Royal Academy in the capital city of the Kingdom of Edela has already been attacked by the Black Dragon God, so this serves as a warning to humans and the Dwarf Kingdom, letting them know that the Demon King's army is powerful and not so easy to deal with.

After exchanging pleasantries with my father, Emperor I, for a short while, I turned back and headed towards my room.

I plan to take a good rest.

Because my magic power was so depleted... I had to rest.

However, when I got back to my room, it was almost lunchtime, and Elena and Lila were already waiting for me at my dorm room door.

Chapter Seventeen: Stopped from returning to the Kingdom of Edra by the Goddess Lanis

At this point, Elena was no longer wearing the Lock Heart glasses.

You can see that her eyes are still very red, just like a cute little rabbit.

However, I know that although she had previously sealed off all her emotions with the "heart-locking glasses," once she took them off, those emotions instantly flooded her heart, and then she couldn't stop crying.

However, unlike me, she did not have the protection of many goddesses.

Therefore, none of my harem members were harmed.

Aside from Luo Yi, who was captured by the Black Dragon God and the Demon King, no one knows how she is doing now.

I only hope she's safe and sound, just locked up. When the time is right, I will lead my harem and my many soldiers to rescue Roy.

Because, in any case, we should all live happily together for the rest of our lives. How wonderful that would be!

This is actually my lifelong wish.

"Ivy, I've made up my mind!"

At this moment, Elena clenched her little fists and looked at me very seriously.

"What decision have you made?"

“A week from now, I plan to return to the Kingdom of Edra and search for my father. If I cannot find him, then I will declare myself king and lead the reconstruction of the Kingdom of Edra!”

It's clear that Elena is indeed thinking about the future and doesn't want to stop here and live a carefree life.

"Okay, I respect your choice, but..."

"Ok?"

"Lila and I will go with you for a while."
