'Scatterguns'!

　I thought it was one shot to try it out, but it's a hell of a powerful one.
　The part of the armoured warrior's shoulders, or is it just above the shoulder? I could blow it out of there.

''It's the same technique as the airflame! How can you use that!
That's a trade secret!

　I know because I've actually used it, but this technique is quite difficult. ''I learned it just now!'' You won't believe me when I say that. After all, God's mastery is a cheat.

''The left arm's jutsu, you didn't have it earlier. Did you carve the technique on your arm under the guise of drawing on a half sheet of paper?

　That's right. With my right hand, sticky with ink!
　Anyway, I didn't realize that the pattern I thought was a tattoo was a surgical technique and that's why I didn't notice it until later.

'A blow more powerful than air flames it looks like you have the right kind of fire.

　Proper fire? Does that mean you have a talent for fire yin and yang? That's right, I didn't know that either.

'If you don't get serious, I don't think you're going to be able to hold out until the flames arrive. Connection.

　As he said that, the left hand of Three Crane Castle and the warrior connected with a thread of spiritual power.
　That warrior was on autopilot until now?

''Let's go.''
No, no, no, no!

　Much faster and sharper than before. But you can just barely avoid it.
　The flying slash is predictable beforehand because it requires spiritual power to be clothed in the sword. Besides....

'Scatterguns'!

　We've got another attack option. Its power is also good. It was dodged, but we were able to shave off a little bit of the warrior's flank.

''We're both impoverished, aren't we?
Not really.

　I suddenly felt uncomfortable and touched my side and found that my clothes had been ripped thin.
　When had he been cut!

It was me who slashed it open.

　Nah! I noticed it after being told. Before I knew it, the taiji of the eyeglass suit had been pulled out.
　It's not much, but there are traces of spiritual power clothed in it. Was he flying a slash with that sword while he was fighting with a warrior?

''That's not all.

　As he said this, the warrior raised his right leg and took a stance like a Muay Thai player. What is it? What the hell is going on... no, no, no, no, no! What a mess!

"Whoa!

　On a hunch, I hurriedly got down, and I felt something pass over my head.
　Immediately after that, a sound like broken glass rang out, and the hall groaned. When I turned around, I saw a large slash mark on the innermost one of the triple-layered wards.

''Za, slash!

　Did you kick, did you let the slash fly? But it's still too powerful!

The two great swords and the slash from his right leg. This is the true form of the 'Santo-Sho'.

　That's too egregious! So if you also combine the attacks of the glasses suit, the opponent's number of moves were simply doubled. It was just barely enough to duck until just now. If it continues like this, we'll lose for sure.

''I'll have to make a move too...''

　There's only one move I could come up with, but I honestly don't know if it's going to work.
　But, well, if I'm on the defensive, I'll only lose, so maybe I'll try it with no regrets!

Let's go! 'Scatterballs,' 'Scatterballs,' 'Scatterballs,' and 'Scatterballs!
What a bunch of bullshit!

　Hahahaha! Offense is the best defense!
　While I'm at it, I'll take a half sheet of paper and a brush pen out of my waist pouch.

'I won't let you! Go, Santo statue!

　While ragging himself, the warrior rushed through a spray of flames. You're losing power due to the continuous firing, you'll get there if you don't.

''Scatterguns!''

　The last shot is not aimed at the warrior, but at the floor, creating a smoke screen.

'It's no use, I've got you in position!

　Through the smokescreen, a warrior continues to push his way through. But my aim is not to blind them.

What?

　The last scattershot was released with great gusto, converging as much as possible. As a result, a pit of about a meter or so had been created on the floor.
　With a warrior's physique, it would only hold him back for a moment, but it was enough.

''Alright, I've finished drawing the technique!
'Nonsense! There's no way I can draw the techniques of a ceremonial god so quickly!
I know. That's why I drew this for you, it's just an ordinary bill of goods.

　The technique of the card is simple. If I draw a pattern like "fire" in the center, and decorate the four corners a little, it is completion.
　The normal Yin and Yang technique is said to be used through the medium of this tag. I think the spell was...

Flame, residue, burn, wall, 'flame burning wall'!
What, you can even use that technique?

　No, no, no. The only technique for using bills is this technique.
　The bill burst into flames and a huge ball of flame appeared. The chanting seemed to have succeeded.

''Fly away like you're building a wall here!

　The ball of fire seems to be able to manipulate the trajectory of its flight to some extent. It flies in an arc and generates a wall of fire to separate me from the glasses suit. Of course, the warrior is also behind the wall. Bye-bye.

　In this gap, I draw a shikigami jutsu. If I can complete it before the wall is breached, things should get a little better.
　With my trembling hands under control, I run my pen on the half sheet of paper.

Hey.

　After being pierced by two spears, the Qi Flame stands up as if nothing happened.
　The scapegoat tag had not lost its effectiveness. The damage had accumulated, but it was not enough to cause death.

''All three of the water spears you fired should have been intercepted... I see, that means there were actually five of them.

　The airflame soon led to an answer.
　First intercepted, Junna's huge water spear. Junkanai used the water that was splashed around to generate the spear and released it from behind the Qi Flame.

''The splattered water has some of your sister's spiritual power left in it... but did you use that as well?''
'That's right. We're sisters, so we're on the same wavelength of spiritual power.

　That's all Jungana could tell, but there was another element that truly supported this technique.
　An extraordinary spiritual power manipulation to the point of transforming water from nearly 10 meters away into a spear. That technique she possessed was what made this technique possible.
　Although the airflame didn't hear anything more, he was aware of that fact in his gut as well. Then his smile deepened.

''You were a fun guy too, weren't you? This is getting fun! Flame, release, many, many bullets, 'continuous flame wall'!
Dine! 'The Wall'!

　The wall of water collided with the wall of fire that was approaching, creating intense steam.

''Junna! Right!
'What? 'The Wall'!
"Scatterbolts!

　Junna just barely prevents the scattered bullets that the air flames fired at close range.

''This distance, in an instant!
'They're firing off the sole of their feet in a technique called "scattergun" or something like that. We've been using that as a propellant to propel us forward.

　In an instant, Jungana uncovered the Qi Flame Technique and calmed the impatient Junna.

''Correct! I'm carving the 'Scattershot' technique on my extremities. I can even fly if I wanted to!
'I don't envy you at all! Deane, 'Blade'!

　The countless blades made of water were closing in on the Qi Flame. However, they are not even snatched by the accelerated air flames.

　After that, the situation continues to be a defensive situation before the overwhelming mobility of the air flames.
　Junkanai casts a web of spiritual power and predicts the attack of the air flames. Relying on it, Junna prevents it, but there is no time to counterattack at all.

''If there is an opening, even for a moment...''

　In the midst of a defensive situation, Junkanai had finished chanting a certain technique. However, at the moment of activation, the net of spiritual power cannot be applied. If the gap is exploited, the two of them will lose before the jutsu is activated.

''Sis. Sorry, the 'wall' might be limited to a few more times........
'Thank you, Junna. You did a great job.

　Junkanai decided to prepare himself. After Junna prevented the next attack, she would activate the jutsu.

''Wall!''
'Tsk! Not again!

　He erases the web of spiritual power and concentrates on activating the jutsu. Butーー

"...what? Are you kidding me?

　“I won’t let the flames leave an opening.

''I won't let my sister get near you! Dine! Blade! "Lance!
You can't do that! 'Scatterguns'!

　He shot down the approaching blade and spear and passed by Junna's side.
　And before the activation of the jutsu was complete, the ki-fire reached Junna's eyes.

''Jana.''
Sis!

　In the next moment, the sound of the wards cracking resounded.
　Junkanai didn't miss the opening in the air flame that turned his face towards the sound.

''Mujo, the Dragon King manifestation!''

　It absorbed all the spiritual power that Junkanai was wearing and the mawkish dragon appeared.
