256 231. The Devil's Great War   Hero vs. King Jing




 The Kingdom of Forest Faria
 Filia's Point of View

What's a little girl going to do to stop us?

Yes, that's right.

 I smile at the heroes and smile at them. Then the heroes turned a happy and troubled look at me.

''I'm glad you suggested it, young lady, but.......can you do it?''

Of course. If I'm doing you proud, I won't take it easy.

You're so smart. If such a girl is your offspring, then all our efforts in the past have been worthwhile.

'Hmmm, that's true. We'll be rewarded for being summoned.

 The heroes laugh and hold their weapons at the ready. Ryugen-sama holds her knuckles, Athanasia-sama holds her staff, Yuuji-sama holds her sword, Taylor-sama floats flames on her back, and Asuka-sama holds her bow.

'You said Phelia. Please.

 The moment Yuuji-sama smiles, arrows rain down across the sky. This is Asuka-sama's attack. When did she release them? I wave my arms to the side as I think about that.

'Tempest.'

 I activate my wind magic and deflect the arrow. At the same time I deflect the arrow, Ryugen-sama and Yuuji-sama come running. Their bodies are glowing, and behind me, Athanasia-sama is chanting a spell as she sings. It's probably a granting magic.

 Athanasia-sama is the support, Asuka-sama is the rear guard, Ryugen-sama and Yuuji-sama are the vanguard, and Taylor-sama is both, I guess.

''Fasi, please help me.''

"Hmmm, in this condition, you already owe me. Go ahead and flaunt it. For the sake of those men.

 I nodded at Fasi's words. I'm in Spirit King mode, and I can absorb and use the magic power floating in the atmosphere. As a side effect of this, I can now be sensitive to the flow of magic power. What happens as a result?

Whaaaaat?

 He enters the pocket while deflecting Yuuji-sama's sword that is cutting at him with his left hand and strikes the bottom of his palm into his chest. The magic power is poured out and explodes. Youji-sama is blown away.

"Ch-ch-ch, Oraa!

 Ryugen-sama swings his arm vigorously, but it doesn't hit me. He avoids it by hitting me with pechin and pechin. I'm not sure if he was annoyed by that or not, but he gave me a big spinning kick. I crouch down to avoid it and at the same time deflect it upward with wind magic.

 The upward deflection is so powerful that Ryugen-sama spins around in a circle as if he were spinning backwards. Ryugen-sama stands normally, but at the same time, he goes to the bottom of the palm. You will be blown away just like Yuuji-sama.

'Go ahead, foxfire.'

 Then Master Taylor releases a fireball. They are five in number, but their movements are erratic. Normally it would be hard to avoid it, but it doesn't hit me now. I just stand there and the fireball deflects away from me.

''Nah!''

 I release a fireball to replace Master Taylor's fireball. Master Taylor tries to avoid it, but a path has already been created. The fireball flows into the path, and it seems to be sucked into the path and goes to Taylor and collides with him.

'Huh! Haha!

Taylor! Oh, my God! I totally avoided that one.

 Asuka-sama watches in amazement as Taylor-sama hits my fireball and blows it up.

 This is also one of my powers. Due to the Spirit King mode, I've become sensitive to the magic power floating in the atmosphere, which has allowed me to understand the movement of magic power.

 Whether or not they can use it, creatures in this world have an abundance of magical power. Therefore, every time you move your body, even if it's only a little, the magic inside your body goes out. Because of that, the magic power in the atmosphere also moves.

 I have become able to sense this keenly, so I know what my opponent's next move is going to be.

 The same is true for magic. If you get out of the path of the magic flow, it will stop hitting you. On the other hand, when I unleash my magic, if I make a path for it, it will go along with it. It uses more magic than usual, but it doesn't matter to me as I absorb and recover.

''This is more than I expected. I didn't expect it to hit me like this.''

'Ha, that's good. That old man was getting on my nerves, but I can deal with a guy like this.

 Yuuji-sama says, "Oh dear," and Ryugen-sama laughs happily. Everyone's mood has changed.

''Let's go!''

 When Ryugen-sama smashes his hands together, flames cling to both hands. As it is, he hits me, but at the moment I thought that.......

Stay away, Phelia!

 Fasi says something like that to me. I quickly jump and avoid it. Ryugen-sama doesn't seem to care and slams his fist on the ground, and all at once his magic power swells up and explodes around the place where his fist was slammed.

  If I hadn't been warned by Fasi, I would have been caught in the blast. But this wasn't the end of it. Suddenly a shiver ran down my spine. I quickly moved away from the spot, but the next moment, something passed by me.

 When I looked at the source of the incident, I saw Yuuji-sama raising his sword.

 The slash that was fired at the sky has cut through even the clouds. It's quite a dangerous move. What a technique the goddess Astell is also handing out.

''Phelia-chan. I'm sorry, but my body doesn't listen to me. I'm going to be serious about it.

 So this is where the real battle begins.
