Battle War; Magic, Sword and Dragon

Pandoras

"Rhino!!!"

Geze has called out his magic name. Laila Langung felt an overwhelming aura enveloping Geze.

During this time Geze is known to never use his magic, which is why Geze magic is said to be quite mysterious. But many praised him because even without using his magic, he became one of the best.

Seeing how Geze fights, Geze's magic must be related to his skills, defense.

"...?"

But despite having summoned her magic, Laila had nothing new from Geze except that the aura it released was getting bigger and stronger.

What is the name of Geze magic? Unfortunately Laila didn't have time to think about that.

Geze then placed his two hands on the ground and his feet stomped back like a bull preparing to ram.

"Royal Crush!!!"

"!?"

Laila was shocked as Geze shot towards her by pushing his body at a speed that exceeded that of a bullet.

Laila's instincts screamed to dodge. He succeeded, but Geze's attack was still not finished.

Geze attacked again with a movement that is not less fast. And it's getting faster.

Laila who was in the scope of the attack could not do much. The attack was not only powerful, but also caused a shockwave that made Laila lose her balance. If he was still like he used to be he would have fallen. And it became a fatal thing in this fight.

"Kuh..."

Laila realized continuing to avoid would not finish this fight. His pride also did not let it end this way. But what can he do?

Despite using one of his mistress' magic arts, he still could not defeat Geze.

(If I could stop his movements for a moment)

It was at that moment that he felt the air of an approaching existence. New enemies?

If so he should be prepared to face them at once, but for now...

"Scarflare, Holy Flame!!!!"

The scarflare in Laila's hands began to glow dazzlingly bright. The snow within a radius of 500 meters instantly vanished not left by the heat generated by Scarflare.

He then slashed at Geze who shot towards him with full force.

The shock waves from the clashing forces create small earthquakes. That is just some evidence of the strength of both.

"Yes!!!"

The ground that Laila was on could not withstand the force and was destroyed. Laila did not expect Geze's strength to be more than she expected.

He strengthened his attack, but it was still not enough. His body began to lose and was pushed backwards.

"!?"

He was startled by the cracking sound of Scarflare. The crack enlarged and eventually Scarflare disintegrated completely.

Laila's body received a crushing attack. Although the impact had already been diverted on Doll, Laila could still feel her body being violently smashed.

Laila's body bounced a few meters before finally stopping after Laila dissipated the momentum by jumping in the air. If it was an ordinary person, it would have already lost to the shattered body of the pieces, but thanks to the Battle War system and the techniques he learned from Kuro, Laila could minimize the effects of the attack.

"..."

Laila once again called Scarflare and prepared for the next attack, but that was when she felt something different from Geze's previous attack.

Geze movement is slower. Even Laila could see where Geze's attack was directed.

"Hm... Could it?"

What happened to Geze was not strange. It is normal for witches.

Every magic attack (magic art) is a technique that uses mana as energy. The more powerful and complicated the magic, the greater the energy required.

Since fighting against Fila, Geze had already used high-level magic. Then he also used it continuously against Laila.

Geze is a powerful wizard, but in a magical capacity he loses far to Laila. Moreover, Laila could use Re; Break to replenish her magic energy.

Laila did not expect the opportunity to arise because of the difference in talent, but she would not let this opportunity disappear.

"!?"

But that was when Laila came to her senses. Other than Geze, he felt no other magic pressure. In other words, the Airs had already left that place.

It was only fitting that he felt strange from fighting against Geze alone.

Could it be that Geze was just a decoy to separate himself from Kuro?

"Tch!! Scarflare, Reconstruction"

She doesn't know why, but she's pissed. He also felt a bad feeling.

Laila again called Scarflare and immediately used Reconstruction. Unlike the Transform that changes the shape of the sword, Reconstruction is a technique that uses Re; Break with the aim of changing Scarflare from its basic form to a different new weapon.

This magic not only makes Laila's magic weapon (magic arm) stronger, but also makes Laila able to make any magic arm as needed.

In that case, the weapon he chose was..

"Scharbusters!!!"

a hammer the size of Laila.

He then swung it at Geze who charged towards him at full force.

Once again a shock wave occurs when the two forces clash with each other. Laila was pushed, but she amplified the power of her punch along with the magic effect of her hammer.

A rocket booster appeared and added to Laila's punching power.

Geze, who had never lost a fight for the first time, was stopped. In the end Geze pushed back hard.

"Well!!"

Geze groaned in pain and fell to the ground.

"..."

Seeing the impact of the attack, Laila knew that Geze's Doll must have been severely damaged. With one more attack he would end it all.

"Guh!!! What exactly is terj-!?"

"..."

Without a doubt Laila started attacking at full force, but before her weapon touched Geze, she stopped a few millimeters.

"Ah... Thank ye. I thought I was gonna die."

Geze sighed deeply. He seemed so grateful that he did not receive the deadly hammer blow from Laila.

Seeing Geze's behavior, Laila felt something strange. The person in front of him was so different from the person he had fought before.

They had the same body and aura, but they were different.

It's freaky.

"By the way, where am I? It's so cold in here."

Geze started acting strangely by asking something that was clearly known to everyone. Is this one of her strategies to distract and attack Laila while off guard?

Anyone can know that this effort will be in vain. But the problem is that Laila does not feel Geze lying or trying to distract.

"Don't pretend!!! After all you did and how we fought with honor, you forgot about it! I can't take this!!!"

Laila again prepared to swing the Scarbuster at full force.

"Wait-wait!! Ak-"

Laila's not waiting anymore. What Geze said will have no effect.

But just before touching Geze's body, Laila's attack is stopped by a thin shield.

Seeing that Laila immediately jumped back. The shield was not a protective magic cast by Geze, in other words it was someone else's magic.

Laila glanced in all directions vigilantly preparing to face a new enemy. While Geze who managed to survive again sighed in relief.

"Icicle Prison!!"

Unfortunately, only for a moment to feel relieved, Geze was shocked by the ice prison that locked him up. Geze tried to get out, but the ice was stronger than it seemed.

Then a girl appeared.

"just free. If you're the usual you can get out, but with you now that's impossible."

"..."

Geze didn't say much, but he understood what the figure said was true. He finally gave up trying to get out.

The figure then glanced towards Laila who still looked alert.

"Don't worry, right now I don't want to fight with you. You still have more important business, don't you?"

"I'll believe you, partner. Before that, you tell me why you're here?"

Partners giggling.

"Would helping a friend in trouble be used as an excuse?"

"..."

Laila and Mitra are best friends, but that's why they both understand they can't just give up or help each other. Both are now just trying to be winners.

Given that, what Mitra said was not a reason to believe her, but Laila could feel for now that she could trust her friend.

"If you want I can fight you, but do we have time to do it?"

".....happily."

Laila surrenders. He doesn't have time.

"But answer me honestly, why are you here?"

"Do you think that doesn't bother you?" Answer Mitra while glancing towards the iron sand forest. "As you know, our school is more focused on learning new types of magic and also wants to uncover true magic. Losing control of magic is rare, I just want to unravel the mystery that caused it."

"You really changed huh.."

Laila knew Mitra as a prologue. At the same time, he is also known as an eccentric person who will do nothing but something that makes him interested.

It's true that Fila's case is quite rare, but the reason Mitra uses is less strong for Laila.

This makes Laila remember with Kuro who always tells the truth, but at the same time a lie. Mitra is the same person as Kuro.

"You can call it growth."

"..."

"..."

"Rather than discussing the unimportant, we should do a little investigation about the makers of the problem this time. Mari?"

Laila let out a small sigh as a sign of agreement.

The two then approached Geze who was sitting quietly like a hermit.

"Can you stop trying to gather magic energy?"

"Haha...knowledge also..?"

"..."

Laila was quite surprised Mitra also realized what Geze was doing.

"Don't underestimate Shiryuu Academy's students. For now, we'll ask you a question and you'll have to answer. Don't try to lie because it'll only get you to hell sooner."

Mitra flicked her finger and Laila was already preparing with Scarbuster.

Geze was deathly pale when he realized his fate. I don't know why she felt a force that made her hair stand up.

The woman in front of him is the kind of person you don't want to make enemies with.

"alright. I-i understand. Before that, I'll say one thing. Honestly, I don't really understand what's going on."

Mitra and Laila glanced at each other. For now Geze is telling the truth.

"You mean?"

"As I said earlier. I understand from your conversation, I am currently in a competition. But I can't remember at all why I've been involved in this troublesome thing."

Geze actually has a reputation for being a smart student. Especially in observing the situation, he was one of the best. Then he's also the type of person who doesn't want to get involved with a problem. And rather than violence, he would prefer the path of peace.

"I've guessed, he's affected by mind control magic."

"I also feel weird because I feel like fighting with dolls." Connect Laila. "But are there any magicians in the school capable of such powerful magic?"

Mind control magic is magic that manipulates the minds of others. If the target was an ordinary person, this magic would be very easy to do, but it was different if the target was a magician.

Mana besides being used as a source of energy to perform magic, mana also has the power to protect the body of a witch from magic attacks, whether it is a physical or psychic attack.

Then the mind control magic also has a weakness such as it will not have a strong influence on the magician with a capacity greater than the user.

Given Geze's power, mind control magic shouldn't have much influence. Unfortunately, seeing how Geze reacts and behaves, he is undoubtedly exposed to the mind control magic of a powerful magician.

Looking at their situation, Mitra and Laila were quite easy to realize who was behind all this.

"Can you tell me who your partner is?" Ask Laila.

"Why are you still asking that? Of course my partner is Kevin the Frozen Spea-"

Not yet finished talking, Geze was hit by Scarbuster until it was crushed into particles.

After that the announcement sounded a sign Geze was really knocked out.

"..what?"

"It's okay. I'm just wondering why you're so quick to make a decision?"

This is too much. If this is not a match, Mitra is hard to imagine the fate of being the victim of Laila's weapons.

"There's no point in asking anymore. You must have realized he's been in control for a long time."

"It's true, ta-but..."

"Now my husband is fighting there. Since the business here is done, I'll help him immediately."

Laila started to step towards Kuro's place. In that moment...

"Gabriel..."

Mitra called out her magic name.

"Icicles Spear!!"

Hundreds of ice spears rained down on Laila from all over.

💠💠💠💠

"You don't look surprised to know who I am. You deserve to be called a King."

"Well... I've seen the embodiment of magic that has an ego like you. It's just that I feel you're a little special."

His past as a Demon King made Kuro have many experiences that no one else had. Even so, the phenomenon that occurs on Pandora is very rare and can even be said to be a miracle.

Unfortunately, it is also called a curse.

Given past events, this is not a good thing.

"Then you must be my goal in this world."

"Yes. And that's really a big deal for me."

Kuro disappeared and in an instant the shockwave shattered the iron sand that was in that place. Simultaneously the sound of swords clashing against each other rang out breaking the silence.

Several times the figures of Kuro and Fila were seen clashing with each other's weapons. The battle of the two had even exceeded the level of combat that humans could take.

Indeed indeed. That's reality.

As the embodiment of magic, Pandora has no limits like those possessed by humans. And as long as he had the magic supply, then he would be able to continue fighting no matter if his body was cut down by the sword or destroyed. Pandora's body will be back as intact as ever.

In that short period of time, the two had clashed with hundreds of slashes and continued to grow as time went on.

Maybe no one saw, but Kuro had decapitated dozens of times, cut off parts of the body and stabbed Pandora's body. All of these are vital attacks that can kill humans in one attack.

(The accumulated magic energy becomes a source to continue to regenerate. It's really troublesome)

The embodiment of magic that has an ego has one goal, they will grant their owner the greatest wish in any way. Unfortunately, when they do, they do not care about the circumstances of others, even their owners.

It is not strange that if every one of these events happens, disaster will follow.

Past events let Kuro know there's only one way to stop all this. It is by granting the innermost wishes of the owner in a peaceful manner.

Unfortunately, that is if under normal conditions.

Fila was not currently in a conscious state. No one knows what he wants.

As his friend, Kuro also has no leads. Fila always kept her distance from the people around her so that no one knew what she was thinking.

(Another way to solve this problem is to destroy the link between the two of them, but.).

The second way was the impossible way to do other than Kuro. With his eyes, he could see the Link between Fila and Pandora and then destroy it, but this way it had a bad side effect.

It would be better if used as a last resort.

"You don't know when to give up huh..."

Pandora's head was once again cut off, but the smile still had not disappeared from her lips.

"..."

Kuro decided to keep his distance. If this continues, he is the only one who has lost strength. Moreover, the power he was using right now could not be used continuously.

It is very important to know the true purpose of Pandora.

"What do you really want?"

"Is that the right way to ask? Sucking a sword at a helpless girl?"

"You're not a girl!!"

"Nails... Basically I am not. I am merely taking the form of the most perfect being that my master possesses."

"..."

"But you can't fool me. With your eyes, you know who I really am. Aye right?"

Kuro could not argue. Pandora's sneaky smile like a little devil has shown it all.

Pandora today is not only a magic beast that has an ego, but also has an important part of Fila.

Hatred, anger, malice, envy, lust, greed and many other negative things make up Pandora.

Yep. Pandora is an embodiment of Fila's negative side.

"This explains why Fila is so unstable..."

From the first time he met Fila, Kuro felt that Fila was someone who lacked something. I don't know if it is, but Kuro doesn't want to get too involved in remembering their relationship.

"Not only that, he's nothing more than a human-like monster."

"!?"

Kuro was shocked when an unknown figure suddenly interrupted. Unlike her who was attacked by iron sand, that figure was not attacked at all. He even walked so casually.

"Air..."

That figure was the young man who became the couple Geze. His face was not very handsome, but not so ugly either. He was one of the examples of ordinary young men found everywhere.

Only, one of his eyes was black with red pupils like a devil and a tattoo looked like roots drawn near his eyes.

"Greetings, Kuro. No, what if I call Shiroyasha."

"...Cursed Arm, Eyes of Balor huh... That explains everything."

💠💠💠💠

Since childhood, the girl had everything. Loving parents, good friends, and the treasures that make them one of the most honorable people in the land.

Besides being compassionate, her parents were one of the most powerful and talented witches. No one does not know the two, even enemy enemies admire and scare them.

As a child, the girl had talents that were not inferior to her parents. No, it might be more appropriate if he was too talented.

Unfortunately, his talent was also referred to as a curse.

When compared to other children who can already use magic like toys, every magic that the girl does will be a disaster. People around him will be hurt and damage will always happen.

The friend who was close slowly moved away. The people who used to praise him slowly scolded him and insulted him. People who love him are beginning to fear him. And slowly the people around him saw his figure like a monster.

Experiencing bitter experiences from an early age left the little girl's heart broken. The colorful world slowly became a colorless ash.

Trust in others slowly disappeared. Fear turns into hatred. The falsity he felt made there was not one thing he could like.

There was only a dark side in the girl's heart. Then a figure was born from the darkness that became the confinement of the girl's heart.

Pandoras.
