1084 Words
After activating their magic the two started to charge into each other. Hanayuki's agile movements make it very difficult to ren to predict her move and started to have trouble dodging.
Hanayuki continues to attack Ren with her fist. Ren then turns around and uses his flaming sword to stop the continuous attack.
"You're able to see that too?"
Said Ren.
"Lightning stream!"
Charge of lightning from the ground spill out. Ren notices the charge of lightning and jumps up in the sky to dodge but there. Hanayuki was waiting and use her foot to stomp Ren back to the ground.
The powerful stomp makes the ground cracking and Alicia who was watching was so amazed at Hanayuki's power. Not to mention Hanayuki was able to defeat a dragon by herself.
Alicia started to think that Hanayuki is powerful like her big sister Yusael.
"I can't believe it, these two are like a monster infighting."
Alicia said.
"Flame sword: horizontal s***h!"
"Lightning creation: Lighting spear!"
The clash of sword and spear make a huge explosion sound in the area. Ren thought that his sword was stronger but Hanayuki suddenly disappeared in front of him. Ren turns his vision around and looks for his opponent.
"Hanayuki's lightning magic is very strong. Feels like she knows lots of them."
Front the top, Hanayuki fell with concentrated magic in her fist.
"Sound magic: lullaby!"
Lullby magic is a magic that makes a target fell asleep but only succeeds in a certain condition. (1)The target has a lower magic level than its opponent. (2) the eye's of the target is looking at the casters hand. (3)The caster must not touch the target with its hand. If the three conditions were not met, the lullaby magic will not work.
Hanayuki upon falling close to her eyes and felt the surroundings and kick Ren's hand. Ren saw an opening and go for his signature move.
"Assassination s***h!"
Instead of using the sword sharp edge. Ren will use the handle of the sword to put Hanayuki to sleep.
"You're not using all your power... You are looking down on me! I saw you transforming in Celest while in battle with Pithon. That’s it I’m going to transform too.”
“You can do transformation?”
Hanayuki uses lightning magic that blasted Ren far from the area.
"Lighting magic! form two: lightning gale form."
Wings like feater appeared from Hanayuki's boots and hand her eye's turn's yellow. This form is the second form of her ability to lightning speed. Lightning speed is just magic that makes a user body in the quality of lightning. That's why Hanayuki was able to move fast. But still, this magic was able to upgrade. Hanayuki added and lightning gale at the lightning speed and resulted in this. The wings in her boot's and hands resemble the wings of a pigeon that symbolized peace and hope. She reveals this form of her to Ren to take this duel seriously.
That blast magic Hanayuki cast was able to kill a human being but since Ren was special and has a special body. He's alive and stands up. This time not as a human.
"Vampire form."
Ren's eyes are redder and the black shades in his body are darker. The flames in his sword became more intense.
Alicia looks to the other two and says: "They really are monsters. I didn't know that Ren is a vampire and not only that I can feel some other aura inside of him. Hanayuki is like a monster born with a huge amount of magic. I'm jealous of Hanayuki but more importantly... Is this fight gonna be okay?"
"Flame sword: vertical s***h!"
The flame sword cut open the ground like butter.
"Now your serious..."
Ren continues to attack Hanayuki with powerful magic. Still, with Hanayuki's current speed Ren can't get her.
"What's going on every time I use my sword it's like she was disappearing and appearing."
"I guess.. you're not making fun of me... Sorry for using lightning blast... But we need to end this and have dinner... "
Lightning punch.
Ren was buried to the ground after receiving the attack from Hanayuki. the vampire form faded and Alicia immediately runs to ren and cast healing magic.
"Hanayuki! What did you do to Ren?"
"Don't worry that thing is half immortal..."
"Half immortal can still die you know?! Next time I would offer a stupid thing like dueling. Yeah... Ren is regenerating and it's a little disgusting seeing blood and cells constructing his hand."
Ren blocks the fist with his sword and ends up losing his arm. The power in his sword is not enough to sway Hanayuki's magic.
"Hanayuki is really strong as I expected. That last thing is not like magic at all. It's like a natural physical force with a little adjustment of magic. I can't explain it properly... Just what are you Hanayuki?"
Asked Ren.
"Just an ordinary traveler."
Hanayuki replied.
"That's obviously a lie... Well, that's not important. I'm at ease that someone this powerful is a comrade of mine."
"I'm surrounded by two powerful adventurers. I should grow stronger too."
Said Alicia.
After that, the three go to the nearest town and have dinner. And the following day they continue their travel to the Sleeping knight's headquarters.
...
Meanwhile.
in a place far from Ren and Hanayuki.
The golden-haired girl appeared and meet up with the other three-person. One of them is the former 1st squad captain of red robe terrorist William and two others with a hood covering their face.
"I heard you encounter him these past days?"
"It's none of you're business... Love is just a distraction in my job." Said Hikari.
"Child of darkness..."
"Don't call me that name I'm not that thing..."
"What's with the angry tone... I'm just telling you and reminding you of you're true self."
William then pointed his sword to Hikari's neck and give Hikari a sharp gaze.
"What's the point of that? You know that you can't kill me."
"You have the power to destroy everything... The demon inside you must be killed before it manifest."
"I said it's no point."
"You're the one being pointless." Said, William.
The sword of William glow and an angelic knight appeared behind him.
[Holy warrior saint: Angelus!]
"Holy sword: Holy execution!"
The sword strike makes an island sink into the depths of a dark ocean.
William and Hikari are not found.
A new Arc begins.
