12 Hours after the battle between Larisa and the others against Killia, the fighters had gotten used to the situation and formed a group.
Some of them had become battles between comrades but it did not have much effect on the path of the other battles.
And here, there's a group known as the strongest in the Antegram itself, the Rouge party.
Although it was not all members, but at least it had gathered up to 70 members with Rumia and alman leading.
Before her, the two of them snatched the position to lead, in various ways until they disconnected
In terms of strength, Rumia is superior .. but in terms of leadership, Alman is superior, fierce fight with no clear results.
To lead them to a conclusion [we are both leaders] and that is how they lead the 70-man group.
Their current goal was simply to find another comrade, nothing more, as much as they could get away from the enemy.
Doing unnecessary battles would only make them suffer losses here.
"Thus ... Rumia, can I ask you something?"
"What?"
"Why did you form this party just to kill your own brother?"
When Alman asked that, Rumia slightly gasped in surprise and looked in wonder at Alman.
"You ... Where do you know that?"
Prior to this, Rumia took part in a short trip with Nezuon in which Nezuon taught Rumia some things about the Antegram.
It makes Rumia foster romantic feelings towards Nezuon, as well as admiring her.
Or maybe he is just mistaken between loving and admiring, but he still chooses to choose that romantic feeling.
At least .. until he finds out if his brother, Adimas nonlight, is also dragged into this Antegram.
Isn't that a good opportunity? Like ... He could kill his brother here.
However, he extended that time, if they fought now then it was certain Rumia would win.
After all Adimas was only a spoiled child of the main family, whereas Rumia was already required to be strong from childhood.
But ... is not enough, to kill his brother that, strength alone is not enough.
Moreover, he wanted to destroy the entire existence called Adimas nonlight.
Therefore, he refused Nezuon's invitation, preferring to create his own party.
He couldn't get Nezuon into his ridiculous revenge anyway.
So, he created the strongest army, until finally the event began .. and .. he killed his own brother.
With full satisfaction.
And ... why does this man, Alman, know that? No, how much does he know?
"Company secrets"
"That's your attitude when you want to expose someone's secret?"
"Sorry, I can't tell you that"
"..."
For now, Rumia decided to just be careful when exchanging words with Alman.
How much alman knew was unimportant now, it would even be much more troublesome if he knew more.
Alman was silent, and he glanced at Rumia when he found Rumia on the lookout there.
Makes her breathe tired.
"Come on, you don't have to be that wary, it doesn't mean I want to threaten you or something like that with the information I have"
"Your words are unfounded"
"... well, forget it, compared to that, do you know about paladins?"
"H-huh? A paladin? What'sthat?"
"... no, forget it"
"...."
What's with her? Asking strange questions about paladins and Rumia was quite confused about it.
He even refused to answer.
Rumia was in her own world, at least until she realized there was something in front of them, far away, there was something.
A human? A monster? Or ... worst possibility Rumia ever thought of.
Alertly, he grasped the handle of his sword on the waist and walked heart forward, where Alman just stared at him.
Seeing the rumia that was walking there, made Alman realize something and gasped in shock.
"Romalia! Move over!"
Hearing that made Rumia flinch and understand the intent of Alman, something about him being attacked right now.
Just that, but in his deepest thoughts, he did not know where the attack would be launched.
Front, left, right ... top .. or .. bottom.
And Rumia realized that just below her feet, there was a complex magic circle that believed to be bright actir indicating that magic was being activated.
Spontaneously, Rumia kicked the ground and jumped backwards, but not until when the chain came out of the magic circle and snared Rumia's right leg.
Making Rumia lose balance and fall to the ground, not until where some similar magic circles appear and trap Rumia's hands and feet at the same time.
"Damn"
Far away, Alman recites the magic circle in his hand and shoots a yellow light in the direction of the chain to help Rumia.
But it was a mistake when a portal appeared, and the beam entered the portal making Alman gasp in shock.
"Teleportation magic?!"
And noticing that, Alman predicted if in the end his attack would turn in his direction.
If he did not dodge, then he would be injured by his own magic.
(Teleportation ... no, it's not teleportation!)
In a panic Alman dodged the last second, then twisted his body and ran forward.
"You people!! Form a group and form a barrier from all directions!!"
Alman gave the order and all his subordinate fighters behind nodded and began to follow the instructions of Alman.
Under conditions where they did not know where the enemy would attack, now that was all Alman could command his subordinates.
On the other hand, Rumia was still in a bound condition there, and she was already quite tired of it.
(It's a disrespectful way to catch a girl)
With the sword in his right hand, he played his hilt on his palm and made his sword spin until it slashed the magic chain with ease.
Then Rumia quickly picked up her sword that was still spinning in the air, started to slash the chain in her left hand and then cut the chain on both legs.
He kicked the ground and quickly rushed over from there.
(Most likely the enemy knows our position, then it means he will be in a position that makes it easier for him to see us fully, above!)
Rumia stared intently upwards as a shadow slowly departed.
And, a magic circle was created right beside the rumia, making Rumia flinch in shock and quickly slash the ball of light that came out from there.
"Almani!"
"Yes!"
They together began to run when hundreds of magic circles began to be created before them, making Alman slightly widen his eyes.
But there is no reason to doubt, they must go on.
And all of it shot out balls of light of various colors there, just right away, Alman drew his sword and slashed at one.
Then it changed to Rumia where he started slashing at one, making the ball of light flung out in a random direction.
And they started an incredible combination of self-defense, in which they swiveled around, while slashing through most of the approaching balls of light and protecting each other.
The ball of light they were fielding was always thrown in a random direction where it hit the ground and the walls until it destroyed them.
"He-great"
Seeing the actions of Rumia and Alman made most of the members behind amazed.
There, Alman recites a magic circle in his right hand, then he shakes his hand katas and it makes the ground shake when a bridge appears.
It was earth magic when Alman tried to make a way to get up there, and together, they began to climb that path.
But a majestic purplish shield appeared right in front of them, they widened their eyes and almost came close to reacting.
When the shield was advancing rapidly towards them, for Alman, avoiding something quickly was almost impossible, but Rumia easily avoided it.
And the shield just hit Alman and sent him crashing away.
"A-alman?!"
(That shield, it's like I've seen it somewhere)
Then, a magic circle was similar as before it appeared, and Rumia had a bad feeling about it.
Where a chain came out and restrained Rumia's left arm.
"uh? Any more?"
He intended to slash the chain with his sword, but no trick would succeed in his second time.
When another magic-circle appears and takes Rumia's sword.
"T-tung--"
And, another magic circle appears where the ground reinsures both the legs of Rumia and Rumia's right hand is pulled by another chain.
On the other hand, Alman looked up at the sky as he opened his eyes, before him, he was struck down by a shield that suddenly appeared before him.
He began to get up and sit on the ground when he found Rumia in the same position as before up there.
"Seriously? Aren't you the leader of the strongest party in the antegram?"
"...."
Hearing this, Rumia fell silent, and in reality, Rumia had almost no talent in magic.
He was just an expert using a sword coupled with his speed belonging to it, speed was a frightening thing.
That's why he became strong, even though the reason why his party was dubbed the strongest was because of the subordinates he owned.
Rumia focused on finding strong members when she first formed the party, and after the strong members joined.
Rumia asks them to find new members of the connection they have, making Rouge's party get many of her members.
It only counted from the strength of the party, because most parties hardly really mean it like a nameless party.
They are a party with members who only live to enjoy their tomorrow again.
That's why they don't have special ambitions like wanting to be the pinnacle of antegrams.
Unlike the Rumia party who really did reach the top until finally said to be the strongest party.
Then, there, a man came out scratching his head.
"Finally done"
When Rumia and the man's eyes met, they were only speechless with widened eyes.
"uh? Rumia?"
"I didn't think about it ... Juliy?"
