《I'll become your Knight》Chapter 8
Advertisement
The sword of fire cut through the air with ease as if it was butter and was headed in the path towards her chest.
“Tch.”
(What!?) Sora thought.
“Boooom”
At a speed faster than Sora or anyone else could keep up with, Sakurai’s body had disappeared from the path of the blade.
Flames of white and red pulsed momentarily which made many people close to the scene knocked back.
Sora looked down,
“…”
“Ooooowww…”
Ayako had been pushed back by the explosions force and was left in yet another weird position, on her back with her arms out and one leg risen exposing her panties.
“Wha…as…tha…?”
“It was probably an explosion caused by the fire of his sword. Still if it hit something it shouldn’t have exploded but gone right through.”
“Maybe it was Soras technique?”
“Look master.”
Soras entire bottom half was encompassed in ice.
“…Ice? When did she?”
“The moment she activated her armour, I saw it with my own eyes. She was moving freely while we all were stuck in place.”
“In other words…”
“She froze time.”
“Oh. She was reduced to using her armour.”,
A man stood beside ms. Watanabe, he wore all white suit and had short purple hair. His eyes were faded and stern but his overall appearance overflowed with Royalty.
Sakurai was dressed in full armour, colours of blue, white and silver all elegantly complementing each other. Two Silver shoulder pieces with snow flake emblems lead down her shoulders was a silk material that ran spread to the stomach.
A silver tiara lied on her head; a short white material cape from her waist down to her knees added to the same look that her personality gave off.
“Fufufufu! Couldn’t sit out of this one hey?”

Ms Watanabe laughed while glaring at the mysterious man.
“Do you really expect me to; I need to see her progress for myself.”
“I suppose it’s not uncommon in normal children’s lives.”
“I suppose these aren’t normal children, from the moment they awakened their abilities and used them here; that life was taken from them.”
Sora raised his sword above his head in striking position and swung it down against the ice of his feet, smashing it completely.
“I’ll admit you had me shocked at first there princess, stopping time and all; but I won’t falter.”
“He was able to see it, Sora really is amazing.” ,
Said Ayako praising him from a distance.
“Impressive that you were able to witness my armours ability. My armour; Hyakkudan has the ability to momentarily freeze time after activation. Meaning this is where I stop humouring you with basic attacks.”
“Hehe. Don’t worry; I wanted it that way from the start!”,
Sora lunged forward with his sword in hand, before gaining much distance at all a row of ice spikes rushed at him from the ground.
“Craaackk” “Shing”
“Hyyaaaaah!”
“Fwish” “Ching”
(Wait where did she-)
“Look out!!”, I yelled.
“Fwish Crack”
“Aaarggh!”
(I see how it is now.)
“Resorting to these tactics, I thought you were supposed to be an overwhelming power princess!”
“Only a fool would pretend to be overconfident to an opponent with a fragment of ability.”
“Tch what do you mean a fragment?!”,
Soras face lit up with anger as he tensed up for retaliation.
“It means a portion; I see I’m wasting my time here. You’re so simple you don’t know basic diction, how can you expect to become a knight.”
“I know what it means you ice queen!!”

Sakurai tossed her hand in front of her, ice began spreading across the floor in the form of spikes toward Sora.
“Her power is amazing, with abilities like that can’t she win in an instant?”
“Her ability is flawed.”
“Flawed? What do you mean?”
“Her ice spells aren’t simply shooting ice, if it was she wouldn’t have to cast it against the floor but rather the air.
Spells are magic that are focused through our elements in order to produce them in a physical or remote ways. There are limits however to what one is able to produce, seeing as she isn’t shooting it through the air; this confirms my theory.
Sakurai is freezing the moisture below on the grounds and expanding them into the forms of her attacks.”
Just as I thought, Shiho is extremely talented and well versed. I’m glad we don’t have to face her in the future.
“Shing craaack Shing crack”
“Those whip attacks weren’t hurting him before, why now…”, Ayako let out.
“It’s those ice spells, they aren’t attacks. She knows he’ll break them and then when he does she slips out his field of view and attacks.”
There’s no way those attacks aren’t getting to him, he has no armour to defend himself and his mana body is barely visible at this point. Sora’s in trouble for real this time.
Sakurai unleashed spell after spell, each time Sora clashed it head on she would dash to the sides. She looked like she was gliding on air.
She was unbelievably fast.
(I can’t be left in such a pathetic state, no I refuse to be! Burn a resolve, that’s what a man does!!)
Sora planted in a wide stance and held his sword extended to the side.
“He’s getting ready to attack?”
“No this is different; he's got something up his sleeve.”
“Craaaaaaack Shing Smash Fwish”
“Aaaaarrrhhhaaaaaa!”
Sora threw his body weight into his swing when breaking the ice, as he fell to the side he released his sword towards where Sakurais stop would be right before attacking.
“He got her!”
“No. Not enough.”
What, not enough? What does she mean?
“fwoowoowoosh!”
“She dodged…”
(Crap!-)
“Fwish crack”
“Aaarrghh!”
Sakurai unleashed a precise blow to his leg which resulted in him falling to his knee.
“That’s more appropriate for someone of your standing. Dirt where it belongs.”
“Fwish crack crack crack”
Attack after attack Sora held up his arms in defence but the damage was taking its toll.
Sora’s mana body had completely faded away and ice began spreading around his body in thin layers.
(I won’t give in…I have to be stronger for-)
Sora swayed to the side, after seeing this she halted her attack to watch.
“Thump”
“Sora’s…out.”
Dammit! After all he did.
“It’s over”,
Sakurai whispered.

Far Strider
A college student finds himself transported into a strange land with burgeoning magical powers, and is taken in by Ned Stark. Will he sink or swim in this medieval society, and will he ever get home? ====================== OC-insert without knowledge of Game of Thrones, new planeswalker. Slow power ramp. Second crossover: Star Wars (around chapter 39). ======================= As a note, I started this as a speed writing challenge to myself. The challenge was successful, and I managed 100,000+ words (as well as some character sheets in excel and such) over 10.5 days. Then I had to stop and let my hands recover from their burgeoning carpal tunnel syndrome. The story currently stands at around 150,000 words (or ~550 RRL pages) over 54 chapters; expect a chapter a day until I've caught up with the backlog. The focus of this story was not quality writing, and that hasn't changed. I mostly use it as my semi-guilty "I need to write something, but am not focused enough to write something good" story. Expect self-indulgent writing in general, and a bit of OP (or, well, more than just a bit if we're being honest), especially later in the story as the protagonist matures into a more full-blown Planeswalker. But if you're looking for something with a power-ramping protagonist romping around the place, something you'd be a bit embarrassed to admit liking (I know I am) but like anyways (and come on, this is RRL, so that probably describes just about everyone here who actually has shame), then this may be a nice bit of mental junk food for you.

Slime of Gluttony
_____ ___, a completely and utterly deplorable person. Lazy, apathetic, and unmotivated. He spends his time as a shut-in, wasting his life away doing nothing of importance. This is the life of the man, a life of no importance. At the impulse of desiring food, he left his small and cramped apartment. Regretting his actions immediately, he was left with the prospect of a complete panic attack due to the numerous amount of people outside at that day. However, he pressed on, determined to find some sort of delicious food to consume. Life had other plans for him. He gets hit by a car, and after hearing strange words from an even stranger voice, he dies. However, minutes, hours, maybe even days later, he awakes, his senses of smell, sight, and hearing robbed of him. Author's Note: This is my first story on Royal Road, so it might not be the best. Although, I hope you enjoy! I'll probably write around 2000 words or more per chapter, but on average a bit more. If you're wondering, the cover art is drawn by me, just in case you thought I wasn't giving credit to the creator.This story might often times lean more into the comedy side of things, but stuff can still get pretty serious at times, especially in the later chapters. The story isn't super dark or anything, but character death is of course going to be a thing. Who? Well, you'll find out, eventually. Also, I'll upload chapters on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. I hope you enjoy reading this little hobby of mine!

Midori
The sea of stars. The momentaneous lifeforms that flicker far away. Our futures — a sea brimming with light. Each and every shimmer in the starry canvas serves as one’s infinite opportunities in the vast sea of the future. The world, however, is far from the ideals of such a mantra. Complacency is the enemy of progress, yet to the four known nations, each one sees enemies around their borders. An example: A village isolated from the nation of Alkai prevents the lives of many from progressing. It’ll take a society, a group, even a whipped together rag-tag team to jump start the quest for progress. An escape from a motionless home—in order to search for a greater future, Mira approaches her blade in a new light. Any illustrations I use for covers and chapters are illustrations I have drawn myself unless otherwise stated.
