66-Episode 66: Battle between Sora and Luna




 Sola and Luna were dealing with three mercenaries.
 A sword, a spear, and a two-handed axe.
 Each of them approached Sola and Luna with their close combat style.

''Flash impact!!!''

 Sola and Luna's advanced magic exploded at the same time.
 Light flooded the entrance hall as it filled the entrance hall.
 The impact raged like a living creature, trying to swallow the mercenaries, but....

I missed it!
"My sister, did you close your eyes and let go?
I wouldn't do that!

 When the magic was released, the mercenaries had already moved out of sight.
 They had assessed Sora and Luna's behavior and escaped out of range just before the magic was released.
 It's an amazing evasion ability.

 Tata-tat, the sound of footsteps approaching from the right hand.
 I didn't even have time to look back.

''It's coming!
"Trust me, Gravity Wall!

 Right after Luna deployed her defensive magic...
 The mercenaries appeared from the right hand side of the two men and waved their weapons in unison.

 Gakkii!

 Sparks flew as the blades collided with the magically created barrier.
 The mercenaries were not foolish enough to compare their strength against the magically created barrier.
 They quickly put their weapons back and retreated with their bodies.

 However, the distance remained closed and they did not move away from Sora and Luna.
 

''Hmph, it's useless! You won't be able to break my barriers with that level of attack, hahahaha!
'Please don't speak your lines like a villain..................Ignytrance!

 While tweaking her sister exactly, Sora unleashes her attack magic.
 Three spears the size of a man, woven with red lotus flames, were shot out.

 With a tail of flames, the spears of the Red Lotus approached the mercenaries.
 Timing, power, it was a perfect strike.
 However.........

What?

 The mercenaries picked up a nearby decorated jar and other objects and smashed them into the flaming spear.
 This is not the kind of magic that can be stopped by such things.
 The spear of fire shattered the vases and other objects and continued to fly....
 The impact of shattering jars and other objects deflected the trajectory slightly.
 It passed through the sides of the mercenaries and landed on the ground.

''That's quite a feat.''

 On the spur of the moment, you hit things and deflect the magic from its trajectory.
 It's not an easy thing to do.

 Sora and Luna raised their vigilance a notch.
 The opponent is not just a human.
 They recognized it as an 'enemy' that could cross over with their strongest species.

 That might have been a carelessness in a way.
 Therefore, the two of them were forced to fight a hard battle.

 I will not allow it.
'Don't be so reckless, please attack properly!

 The mercenaries had split into two groups and were attacking Sora and Luna.
 A pair of men with swords and spears took turns hurling their weapons at them.
 The remaining one swung his two-handed axe at the perfect time to fill the gap between the duo.
 When Sora and Luna tried to move to counterattack, they retreated as if they had sensed it beforehand and took their distance.

 It's a brilliant coordination despite being an enemy.
 Sola wags her tongue.

'This is no time to be impressed by the enemy, my sister. If this is the case, we will only be wasting time on mischief.
'I know! But what do you want me to do?
...Why don't we just use super-wide magic to blow them all up together?
It's going to get Lane and everyone else involved!
Mmm, no.
'I'd rather know what made you think such an idea would pass...'
"Gravity Wall!

 Luna's magical barrier stopped the mercenaries' assault.
 Luna let out one cold sweat as she slurped.

 That was quite a fine timing.
 If the activation of the magic had been delayed for a few more seconds, they might not have been able to prevent the mercenaries from attacking.

 Here, the accuracy of the mercenaries' coordination had increased.
 It was as if the three of them were united in their thought process.
 They compensated for each other's blind spots and attacked at the perfect time without showing any gaps.

 If the fight drags on, maybe....
 The mercenaries' attack might reach them.

 Sora and Luna made a slightly difficult face as they considered the possibility.

 What would happen if they were to lose here?
 If they were captured by the enemy or held hostage, they could cause trouble for their friends.
 Most importantly, it might put Rain in danger.

 Not only that.
 Absolutely not.

 Sora and Luna looked at each other... and nodded with a coy smile as if to confirm something.

''Fireball multi-shot!

 At some point, Sora and Luna fired a series of magic, just as Rain had tried to use it.
 Continuous chanting.
 This is a special skill that only the spirit race can use.
 However, it is not compared to Rain's.

 Rain used several elementary magic at the same time.
 She had created three fireballs and beat the soldiers.

 In contrast, Sora and Luna ...had created more than ten fireballs.
 The sisters combined, more than twenty.
 Literally, the fireballs rained down on the mercenaries like rain.

 The mercenaries' faces twitched.
 As expected before the bullshit magic power, they have no choice but to retreat.
 On the way, I was hit by several bullets.
 Even so, since it's elementary magic, it's not powerful enough to cause them to fall into a coma.
 The mercenaries avoided the fireballs that were fired in rapid succession by getting a distance from Sora and Luna.

 This should be fine.
 I don't know what kind of magic trick they used, but I don't think they could pull off that kind of bullshit trick many times.
 Besides, the controls seem to be lax.
 If he uses it too many times, he could get his friends involved.
 With that in mind, it's unlikely that he would use it in a row.
 Although I was surprised....
 The benefits are still with us.

 The mercenaries think so, but....
 It was nothing but carelessness.

'Here!'
It's over!

 Sola and Luna pointed their palms at the mercenaries with a look of confidence in their victory.
 The mercenaries were suspicious of such a situation of the two of them.
 The distance between them has opened up, but that's all.
 There are not enough elements to be able to say that the matter is still settled.
 So why are they making that face...?

 
 I felt a twinge under my feet.
 I looked and saw that the floor was covered in ice.
 The ice was tangled up to my ankles and I couldn't move.

 When did it happen?
 To the stunned mercenaries, Luna grimly tells them.

''Hmph, that's my specialty in delay magic. I knew they would flee to that spot. I dared to drive them into the place and activated the magic that I had previously put in place to make them unable to move.......hmmm, is this how you explain it? Then, my sister Sola. You may do it!
You're so high and mighty... and you lack a sense of respect for your sister.
Come on. Here. Just get on with it.
I know, sir.

 The mercenaries all pulled their faces together.
 Faster than they could shout "I surrender........", Sora's magic burst forth.

''Flash Impact!''

 A flash of light was unleashed and enveloped the mercenaries.
 A burst of sound could be heard.
 

''Victory, right?''
"Ha-ha-ha, that's easy enough for us to do! I wanted to see.

 Sola and Luna laughed proudly and then exchanged high fives.
