Chapter 166: Full Power 1

Translated by AmaLynne

Crimson’s magical power surged out from Sam with a force that reached the heavens.

The intensity and volume of the magical power were tremendous, far beyond what one would expect from a single person’s release.

The barriers Günther had painstakingly erected for the duel shattered with a sound, turning into fragments.

Everyone assumed a defensive posture in the face of the magical power’s strength. The Sword Saint, Kurando, was no exception.

The release of magical power was so powerful that it could blow someone away if they didn’t brace themselves with their legs.

After some time of continuous magical power release, a figure emerged within the crimson whirlpool.

It wasn’t Sam.

It was someone who didn’t resemble the petite Sam at all; the silhouette appeared to be that of a tall woman.

Then, everyone wondered where Sam had disappeared to.

As each person watched the whirlpool of magical power, they realized that the released magical power was gradually weakening.

The vortex of magical power that had reached the heavens grew narrower and eventually dissipated.

When the crimson magical power disappeared, Samuel Scheidt was no longer there.

“—Ulrike?”

The one who uttered the name in bewilderment was Günther.

His eyes widened as if he had seen a ghost, and he trembled slightly in shock.

“U-Ur-sama!? Why!?”

It was evident that surprise couldn’t be concealed, not only from Lise, Hanae, Mizuki, and Kurando but also from everyone present.

“That’s impossible, she should have passed away, no, she’s supposed to be dead!”

In place of Sam stood a tall woman with fiery crimson hair and an elegant figure.

Her name was—Ulrike Scheidt Walker.

Once a prodigious wizard who held the third seat among the Court Wizard of the Sky Kingdom, she was Sam’s mentor.

And she was already deceased.

“Where’s Sam? Why does Ur-sama have—No, could it be…”

Lise, Sam’s fiancée, was the first to realize what was happening.

The woman before her eyes undoubtedly looked like her late sister. However, the clothing she wore and her overall presence and aura were that of her beloved young man.

“Is that Sam?”

“Yes, it’s me.”

The response she received was undeniably Sam’s voice.

“Hey, Günther. Reinforce the barrier again for me.”

“S-Sam?”

“Huh? Oh well, guess I’ve changed appearance, huh? Wasn’t entirely unexpected, but still surprising. But I guess this is the right choice. Anyway, reinforce the barrier for me. I’m counting on you to make it strong. I’m planning to fight here as if I’m going to destroy the place.”

Amidst the astonishment of everyone, who was taken aback even in this situation, Sam remained nonchalant about his transformation into Ur.

Particularly, Günther was hyperventilating, his eyes bloodshot as he gazed upon the woman he once loved.

“W-We can do that, but why does Sam have Ulrike’s appearance? I understand you want to make me happy, but could you consider the time and place a bit? I can’t help but say this.”

“It’s not like I’m trying to make you happy.”

“Then, just one more thing. Why can I sense Ur’s magic from you? With your current presence, I can feel the magical power of both Samuel Scheidt and Ulrike Scheidt Walker.”

“That’s because I inherited everything from Ur.”

“I know that—No, could it be, you not only inherited her magic but her magical power as well? Are you saying that you’re harboring two different magical powers within one body!?”

“That’s correct.”

Normally, having two sets of magical power within one body was abnormal.

Having two sets of magical power was an impossibility, let alone such a huge amount.

However, this was made possible by the inheritance magic Ur used on Sam.

It was due to the combination of the inheritance magic and Sam’s capacity to accommodate Ur’s magical power that this success was achieved.

“I have many questions I’d like to ask, but please explain later. Ur’s magical power is like a wild horse; it can’t be used for very long.”

“I’ll explain later. Or maybe I don’t need to explain at all. Ur truly entrusted everything to you.”

“—Ah.”

“That’s a relief. She’s undoubtedly living within you. I’m glad I understood that. I have nothing more to say—No, I do. I want to know if those breasts are real. Can I touch them?”

“Don’t be ridiculous! If you’re going to be serious, be serious to the end! Hide your desires!”

“It’s a joke. Well then, it’s burdensome to disrupt your limited time. It’s good to see you so ready, so go ahead and defeat the Sword Saint.”

“I was going to do that anyway.”

Sam chuckled at Günther’s unchanging attitude, even in this situation.

And then, he turned his gaze to his beloved.

“Sam.”

“Lise-sama. It’s a bit strange to stand before you in Ur’s appearance.”

“I feel the same way. There’s so much I want to say and ask, but for now, just—win.”

“Of course. Watch closely as I give it my all.”

With that assurance to Lise, Sam turned his back.

In his considerate manner, Kurando refrained from interrupting their conversation.

“I apologize for making you wait.”

“No, I want to fight you at your best. However, I can’t help but be surprised. It’s like I’m facing her in person.”

While still surprised, the Sword Saint smiled, his anticipation for the impending battle evident.

Sam returned the smile.

“It’s natural. Right now, I am Samuel Scheidt, and I am also Ulrike Scheidt Walker. So, are you ready?”

“—Yes.”

“I won’t say I won’t kill you anymore. I’ll fight you with everything I have.”

“Please do. Ah, I’m looking forward to this.”

Sam, in Ur’s form, clenched his fist and heightened his magical power.

The crimson magical power enveloped Sam, forming a vortex around him.

“Here we go, Sword Saint Amemiya Kurando.”

Kurando readied his sword.

“Come, Samuel Scheidt.”

In the next moment, Sam’s figure vanished.
