''Something about me getting a lot of good points from Kåñëa: ......''

I'm not taking it for granted. There's no such thing as a good place to fight in the first place. We don't have time for that.

　The hand of the giant that was supposed to have slashed him floats back to form again.

　This time it raises its hands to the sky.

'I'm still getting used to it. But this time I'll go faster.''

　Yui tells him curtly.

　That shock comes twice this time. This time, regardless of friend or foe, the wind pressure will blow it away. Everyone understood, and this time they all turned their backs against the shadow giants. Except for Kåñëa and Sheila.

''Do it right this time. I'm going to go to Yui's side.''

'Yes. I don't need any help this time!'

...... I wonder if it's really all right.

　Kuena says anxiously.

　Still, he didn't need any more help, he assured her. Kåñëa looked at her opponent, Yui.

　Yui stood in a peaceful manner.

''You're going to have to take that leeway.

　Kåñëa raised the sword in both hands and swung it down at once.

　The flames on the sword stuck to the ground and extended straight at Yui.

　However, a shadow separate from Yui's giant creates a wall in front of him to prevent the flames. --A moment.

　A fierce fire strikes Yui from all sides.

　The flames, which stretched straight out, burst into flames.

　A wall of shadows surrounds Yui on all sides, protecting her.

　The red sword blade stabs the wall of shadows with a high-pitched sound.

''I was going to steam it, but I'm still going to roast it whole.

　With Kåñëa's words, a scorching fire is produced from the blade.

　All at once, the inside of the wall is enveloped by the high temperature.

　A few moments later, Kåñëa pulls his sword from the wall. When the flames stop, the wall also disappears. --Yui's corpse is gone.

''Wha, where is ......!

The end.

"Huh!

　A dagger is placed on Kuena's neck.

　Yui had appeared behind him before he knew it.

　Death.

　Such words pass through Kåñëa's mind.

　Without knowing how they were turned behind me without me realizing it--

"'Watch out!'

　In the nick of time, Sheila bounced off Yui's dagger.

　If you look, there are several holes in the giant's body.

　Sheila looks at Kåñëa with a smug look on her face. It's a good thing I saved you," she said.

　But the moment Kåñëa understood that her life was saved, she slashed at Yui. It's a correct and tactful decision. But.

　Yui disappears.

　It's not a metaphor, but rather the figure disappears in its entirety.

　I look around at the front page. It's gone.

　Suddenly, Yui appears from the shadow of the giant.

...... It's a gimmick.

　Quena's gain goes. How could he suddenly disappear from the wall earlier and suddenly appear behind him?

　Yui could move between the shadows at will.

　Users were rare, but if it was a similar strain of magic, Kåñëa had heard of it too.

'Sheila. Just give me a little time.

''Gotcha!''

　Sheila regains her pure black sword at Kåñëa's suggestion. She understands what Kåñëa is trying to do from the experience they've had fighting together so far.

　Kåñëa raises her sword. A small ball of flame emerges from the tip of the sword. It gradually grows into a giant.

　It doubles, triples, quadruples...... and steadily grows larger. However, it was slow.

　Naturally, as Yui, it was a target.

　But Sheila is poised.

''I'll be your partner for a while.''

......!

　Yui's eyes change.

　Yui closes in on Sheila at the same time as the cavernous shadow giant dissipates into a fog. So fast that the dust dances a second later.

　They come into contact with each other.

'Die.'

"'Shit!'

　Yui's slash splits into multiple pieces. At first I thought it was an afterimage, but it's not.

　It's just 'splitting' as it is.

　Multiple shadows of Yui are sprouting from the base of her hands.

　But Sheila bounces away, limiting her aim to the kryptonite. She'll get some wounds, but it can't be helped. She doesn't have the strength to return it all.

(But--if it wasn't for Zied's special training, she'd be dead!

　Yui's attack speed. The ability to make quick decisions. The techniques to deal with them. All of the ability values have increased by orders of magnitude.

　I have a real sense that I'm gaining real power.

　It's fun and slashing each other.

　Occasionally, Yui's attacks will cause a shadow sword to come up behind her, or even try to harm Kåñëa himself.

　But those are pure black swords that don't let the attacks reach them.

　It is absolutely unbreakable. And it gives you magical power to yourself. --The Evil Sword.

(Thanks, Evil Sword.)

It's your bad habit. You don't think when in combat!

　Sheila had learned how to talk to the Evil Sword in her head.

　Furthermore, the Evil Sword had a lot of experience in combat.

　Apart from Jade, Sheila had received combat training from the Evil Sword as well - she had received training from the Evil Sword.

　Still.

　The single-armed duel with Yui was a tough one.

　Her wounds were spreading and increasing, and her area of motion was narrowing. There was a difference in stamina as well.

　It's an ability that hasn't been buried yet.

(Kuu......!　(Evil sword, if it comes to this--!

(No, it's okay.) (Look behind you.)

(......!)

　He looked behind him at the right time, taunting Yui's attack as the evil sword told him to.

　-- A huge flame was on the tip of Kåñëa's sword.

　It was as big as Yui's giant.

　I was too focused on the battle to notice it, but Sheila's back was enduring the searing heat.

　The entire area around the area was also dominated by shimmering heat.

''-- I'm sorry to keep you waiting, Sheila.

''You've kept me waiting too long. You're waiting too long, buddy.

''Yes, it's going to take some time because I can't handle it all yet, but I finally got it done. Eat it--the Flaming Fireball (Endeavor)!

　A huge mass of flames fleshes out the Weira Imperial Army.

　Normally, Yui would retreat before she got into this kind of mudslinging. That was her strength, her judgment and her nature.

　However, the task given to her was to become a 'heroic figure'.

　There is no way to imitate retreating here.

'...... Aaaaah!　The Shadow Giant (Altiego)!

　Once again, a giant appears.

　This time Yui also uses a large amount of magical power and catches Kåñëa's great ball of flame flame.

　They collided with each other--.
