260-Episode 260: Rapid Advance




 The first to move was Kanade.

'Ikkyuyo! I'm going to pay you back for everything you've done for me, with interest! Mmmm.

 Kanade still had some damage from the lightning strike.
 Even though he had been healed by Sora and Luna, it couldn't be an immediate and complete cure.

 However, despite Rain's concerns, Kanade was very active.

 He dodged all the swords of the knights that were rushing in like waves from all directions, all at the threshold.
 He leaned his face, turned his body away, and crouched down to crawl....
 He completely saw through the stormy onslaught of the knights.

''Nyahhhhh................................Unya!

 A counter blow exploded.
 A few knights were blown away collectively.

 The other party was a hundred battle-hardened knights who belonged to the headquarters of the royal capital.
 However, they were as good as babies when it came to Kanade.

 No matter how sharp the slashes were, they would never hit Kanade.
 And then.........a painful counter.
 Kanade's fist shatters the steel armor and blows its body away like paper.

 It's like a storm.

 Once swallowed up, there is no way to escape.
 There is no way to resist in the face of its power, you can only prostrate yourself.

'Kanade, you can put up a fight, but take it easy. Those people are just being ordered around, they're innocent.
'I know! But I don't mind having you come along for a bit of exasperation!
...be moderate.

 Rain chuckled back.

 A disaster for the knights but...
 Even though it was an order, he turned his blade on us.
 I'll have you give up the pain........

 Partly because of the anger at being hurt by his friends, the current Rain was thinking colder than normal.



----------



I'm guessing you're the guy I'm working with.
d*mn it...!

 Tania was confronted by Mina.

 Tania's injuries were the worst of all, as she had been hit by lightning strikes several times and was defending her companion.
 Even Sora and Luna's magic couldn't completely heal her, and she would have to rest for several days to fully heal.

 However, she showed strength without the slightest hint of that.
 He smiled wryly, not taking a step back in front of Mina.

 In contrast, Mina was in a cold sweat.
 Mina had been hurt before when she had fought Tania.
 Maybe she was thinking back to that time.

''You couldn't give me an arm and a leg when you did it before... are you going to do it?''
''Huh....... of course. As a member of a brave party, we can't leave beings like you on the loose.
"A party for the heroes... hey. I don't think you guys are all that important to me. It's a silly party where you get to do whatever you want.
Are you going to taunt us?
Oh dear. Do you realize that you're being a bit of an idiot if you're getting worked up about it? Self-aware idiots are so out of control!
Holy Arrow!

 Mina runs out first and releases her magic.

 Tania's power would allow her to intervene in Mina's power and counteract the magic.
 When we fought before, that's how we showed the difference in power.

 But this time, I won't use that move.

''Teeee.''
What...?

 Tania waved her hands as if she were a mosquito to ward off...
 With that alone, he played off Mina's magic.

''Wow, how could my magic be so easily..........''
Well I guess I'm next in line, huh? Just so I'm clear, I don't think you're gonna call my bluff like you did before, okay? This time I'm pissed off too and I'm going to get serious about it!

 Tania spread her wings and converged her magic power.
 Feeling the enormous amount of magic power, Mina lets out a small scream.

 With a grin at Mina's frightened appearance like that... Tania unleashes her special dragon breath!

 It involves Mina and a few other knights....
 He also collapses part of the ruins and cleaves them all.

''Hmmm ... well, I guess that's about it?



----------



'Aggus! Stall for me, and I'll blow it up in one fell swoop!
Oh, okay!

 Aggus will be the vanguard and Lean will be the rear guard.

 The two of them will face off against........

"Hahaha, there are only two of you to deal with us? Huh, we've been underestimated.

Oh my dear sister. Are you a little scared...?

 The duo of Sola and Luna stand in front of Aggus and Lean.
 It seems that no matter what time of day, these two are together.

 However, Luna was somewhat taken back by Sola, who was giving an eerie laugh...

 Sola's anger is understandable.
 Although she's usually calm and collected, she just doesn't show her emotions, but she has great feelings for her friends.
 She cares for them just as much as Rain does.

 That friend was hurt.
 They were treated unreasonably.
 The people who seem to be in league with the mastermind are right in front of her.
 Sola's anger had swept over the top and she was entering uncharted territory.

 Luna has always had a thought.
 Although she teases her sister occasionally........
 I'm careful not to step over the line.

 When she's really angry, Sora is........bad.

''NUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!
"Gravity Wall!

 Aggus charged in.
 If it was Sora and Luna, the wizard type, they would have decided that it was better to attack than to be on the defensive.
 Luna created a magical barrier and received a blow from Aggus.

''Aggus, Sots, just hold it down! Red Crimson!

 Leanne continues to release her magic.
 Aggus holds Luna down just in time and....
 He retreated at the perfect time.

 The Red Lotus Fireball tried to envelop Sora and Luna, but...

...What's with all this childplay?
Heh?

 Sola carelessly put her hand into the fireball.
 
 On the contrary, the flames dissipated.

 Sola interfered with Lean's magic with an overwhelming amount of magical power.
 She reconfigured the structural formula on the spot and neutralized it.
 The principle was the same as what Tania had done before.

 However, Lean, who is unable to do such a thing, has blackened his eyes as if he doesn't understand what has happened.

It's not that.......how can you mimic that bullshit strongest species? It's crazy, it can't be!
'What are you mistaken about? Sola is a spirit race, you know? I'm an expert in magic. From Sola's point of view, your magic is a child's play with fire itself.
Nah, nah...
Do you mind? I will teach you the real magic. Taste it for yourself.
Oh, no...

 With herself at the center, Sora let the magic circle unfold.
 Seeing this, Luna hurriedly turned backwards.

 Luna understood at a glance.
 What Sola was about to use was a super-grade magic.
 It's not a make-believe threat like Tania used before, it's a real blow.
 Moreover, it's filled with all the magical power possible.

 I'm not going to be able to do anything about it.
 Knowing this, Luna lowered herself with her head in her hands.

''Foolish act, reflect on that with your own body.......Ixion Blast!

 An extreme thunderstorm was released, summoning the otherworldly phantom beast.
 The lightning blew like a storm.
 Aggus and Lean were blown away like paper.
 At the same time, the knights who swarmed around them were also blown away.

 



 With a grin, Sora laughed...
 Seeing her sister like that, Luna shivered with a wobble.
