Two Iris.
　That, and a swarm of demons, all attacking at once.

'Arios, take one Iris over there!　Axe and Cell, and Sora and Luna, a bunch of demons!　The other Iris is ours for the taking!
I don't need you to tell me what to do.
I don't have time for that!
d*mn it, I can't help it!

　Arios clicks his tongue one time.
　Then he takes Aggus and the others to intercept Iris.

　Iris's power is unfathomable, but....
　Arios is also a party with the name of 'The Brave'.
　If they can fight calmly and without underestimating their opponents, they should be able to manage even against the strongest species.

''Axe and Cell........''
Oh, I'm dealing with a demon, aren't I?
You're not going to get a sideways pass. We'll take care of it.

　He replied encouragingly.

'Please. I'll send Sola and Luna over to you Sola, Luna. Is that all right?
Yes, sir. No problem.
Well, we're in no trouble on our own, but it's not bad to cover up once in a while.

　The two of them nodded firmly, as if to say they were fine.
　Nevertheless, I feel that Sora's attitude is becoming more and more like Tania's these days.
　Is she being inspired?

　Kanade, addressing Tania.

'We're coming for Iris!
Meow!
Yeah, I got it!
"Nina and Tina act as one set of two!　Take a break and give me some support.
I'll do my best.
I'm on it!

　Nina put on a strong face as she held the kettle tightly.
　When they met, it seemed fleeting and easy to disappear, but...
　He looks very dependable right now.

Let's go!



----------



Heh, now it's time to show what I can do.

　Axe reached for the sword that was hanging at his waist.

　Even in its scabbard, he could see that the sword was thinner than normal.
　It was also slightly curved, giving it a unique shape.
　It was a 'katana' that was said to be made only in the Eastern Great Land.

　In front of the approaching swarm of demons, Axe doesn't get frightened.......rather, he smiles happily.
　He grasps the hilt of his sword and holds it in a subdued state.
　Lightly bent forward.
　And yet, one foot in front of you so that you can step in at any time.

　It's a technique called 'Battou', a sword technique that is passed down only in the Eastern Great Land.

''If I show my good points here, Cell will notice my charm and... okay, I'm motivated!　Watch me, demons!　I'm not letting you get past this point!　As long as I'm here....
"'Dragoon Howling!
....

　As Axe uttered some kind of frontal speech, from the side, Sora and Luna's magic exploded from the side.
　A shockwave resembling a dragon's roar swallowed the swarm of demons.

''My cue........''

　There's something about Axe's shoulders, but he doesn't seem to notice that, and Luna laughs high.

''Hahaha!　You see, our power!
'Luna, don't let your guard down. I don't think it's working very well.
Hmm?　You're pretty good at that.
I'll concentrate on the power of the next one.
I've got to know where to go!
"Inferno burst!
"Tempest Edge!

　Once again, Sora and Luna's magic burst forth.
　A tornado of red flame engulfed the leading group of demons.......
　Furthermore, a vacuum blade danced wildly there.

　The demon was silenced this time by the combined attack of fire and wind.

　However, that was only part of it.
　There was a mountain of demons behind them.

'Mmm, it's a pain in the ass. Can I blow them all up in one go with my super grade magic?
'No. If you use that stuff, you'll get the village involved.
It's such a pain in the ass to have to do this soberly... but you have to do it!
That's the spirit.

　Sola and Luna exchanged small smiles.
　He continued, glaring at the swarm of demons.

''Absolute Strike!''

　As if to stop the demons from advancing, ice cubes rained down from the sky.
　They crushed the demons, iced them and stopped them in their tracks.

　Even so, it would not be able to stop all the demons.
　The demons that escaped the impact charged at Sora and Luna without even looking back at their agonized friends.

　But that was within Luna's expectations.

''Hmmm, they're simple guys. They didn't even know they were being led by Sora to a certain place.
I don't need an explanation, just get on with it.
Mm. I'm on it!

　A light gathers in Luna's hands.
　She spins powerful words at it to the demons.

'Flash impact!'

　Light and shockwaves exploded out of the air.
　They swallowed the leading group of demons that were protruding.

　It's a wide-ranging magic that Luna often likes to use.
　It can strike down multiple opponents with the shockwave.

　However, this time Luna had arranged the magic.
　By narrowing down the range to narrower than normal, it conversely increases the power.
　It was hitting many times more power than normal.

　He didn't just chant magic, he tweaked its structural formula and arranged its content.
　It was a power he had acquired through special training with Suzu.

　And.........
　Sola had also acquired new powers.

　She pointed her right hand at the demon.

'Vortex Lance!

　He points his left hand at the demon.

'Ignitorance!'

　Shi Den and the Red Lotus Spear were released.

　The simultaneous use of multiple magic ... that's the new power Sora got.

　It's a power that ordinary people can't think of.
　In order to use magic, you need to build a structural formula in your mind.
　It requires an enormous amount of mental power, and usually it's all you can do to build one.

　It's a different power than the duplicate chanting that Rain uses.
　That one is the power to deploy a single magic multiple times at the same time.
　In contrast, this one is the power to deploy multiple magic at once and at the same time.......

　However, Sola came up with a way to build two at the same time.
　She repeated the practice in secret and made the technique her own.
　This was also the result of the special training with Suzu.

''Wow, what is that?

　Luna was surprised when she saw Sola's simultaneous magic chanting.
　At her sister's reaction, Sola grinned at her sister's reaction.

''Fufufu, this is Sola's trump card.
'Using two magics at once...?　I don't think that's possible...

　Luna was amazed.
　Even Luna, who was of the spirit race, was amazed at the technology.

''How, how can you do that!
Would you like me to tell you?
Tell me about it!
But I'm not going to tell you.
Nah!

　Seeing Luna thrashing about, Sora feels a sense of superiority.
　She was able to show her dignity as an older sister to her younger sister, who is usually a bit cocky.
　Ah, how pleasant it feels.

　........Even though we are in the middle of a battle, I was thinking about such things.

''Gruff!

　As if aiming for an opening between the two, a dog-shaped demon pounces on them.
