Dura 6 Volume 9

Without a single worry, Stella swung her sword down without holding back.

However-

“Third Secret Sword-Madoka.”

The attack that struck Stella immediately after far exceeded expectations.

“!?!?!?”

The sound of the resulting hit would best be described as an explosion, and this time Stella was the one sent flying.

Even as Stella braced her legs to try and stop, she slid backwards while chipping the concrete. Like Ikki earlier, she was driven to the edge of the ring.

「Wow! This time, as if paying her back for earlier, Fighter Ikki has sent Fighter Stella to the edge of the ring! It’s a complete reversal!!!」

By turning around a desperate situation with an unthinkable power play to answer the blow he took at the start, Ikki further fanned the excitement in the arena.

Stella remained calm despite the clatter.

She calmly analyzed the numbness left in her sword hand.

(This numbness… This power… This isn’t Ikki’s, is it)

Stella understood Ikki’s specs for the most part.

That’s why she understood.

With his strength alone, he was unable to output such offensive power.

In fact, it should be impossible for anyone but Ouma.

On the topic of people with such attack power, there was nobody else except for herself. In that case…

“You stole my power, didn’t you.”

In response to Stella’s surprisingly pleased tone, Ikki returned a smile.

“Good insight.”

Precisely. The one who had sent Stella flying was none other than Stella herself.
