Chapter 7 - Ladislav’s Youngest Child

『Now then, it’s finally the climax of this Grand Coliseum, the third phase! As you might expect from the last phase, the condition to clear is very simple, if you knock down World Dragon Seventh Institute’s two proud guardians within the time limit, you’ll be declared victorious! Moreover, this time unlike the two previous phases, there is no hit judgment, so no matter how many attacks you receive, you won’t be disqualified! Please, rest assured!』

“…So this means that fairly unreserved attacks will come, right?”

“Well, the princess[1] being involved probably means that it’s the real thing from here on.”

Ernest agreed to Ayato’s mutter.

Having remained for the third phase were the five people Ayato, Ernest, Sylvia, HuFeng and Irene.

They would be about one size bigger than the powered suits that Ayato and company fought in the second phase. The white giant held a sword in each hand and the black giant held a very long spear with both hands, and a strange pattern was drawn on all over their bodies.

“Oi boy, if you know, then tell me. What’s that?”

“Boy? …Well whatever.”

HuFeng knitted his brows to Irene’s way of calling him, but he immediately pulled himself together and began to speak while pointing at the giants.
