Battle War; Magic, Sword and Dragon

Sorry

Meika and Yuko panting. Their faces looked pale from being too exhausted after using the combined magic that required a lot of magic energy.

As seen, the Unlimited Sword Knight was a magic to create a battle army.

Although the knight's body was made of clay, but every knight had a strong defense. Or it can be more called having a strong regeneration power because it is made of clay.

Then coupled with the magic sword created by Yuko, then complete already the magic army that has the power equivalent to a C rank magician.

Of course, every individual can be said not to be so strong. Even they have a weakness of not being able to make complicated movements.

But all that is enough. For now.

"For now we can focus on recovering magic energy. Gnome, please."

Jumping into the air, Gnome happily swung his staff. Then a greenish light began to shine on the two.

Slowly Meika and Yuko felt their magic energy recover.

"Without Gnome we won't be able to use this kind of combined magic quietly."

"Well, although reliable, I still don't understand why I had to sacrifice my clothes."

Both smiled wryly.

It was at that moment that they could hear the sound of gunfire and loud explosions in the distance.

They both don't have to think about what happened.

"I didn't expect them to keep fighting despite knowing they were outnumbered."

"This is not surprising. Didn't Miss Meika already know that?"

Meika just smiled.

"If they run away just for that reason, they really don't deserve our full strength."

Just like when creating magic arm or magic beast, Meika and Yuko have a link on every knight they create.

Both of them suddenly broke out in cold sweat when they felt something abnormal.

"Don't tell me that..."

"So that's right, there's no normal participant in Battle War?"

Since this was their first time following the Battle War, then it was a reasonable thought.

But it's true. It is common knowledge that Battle War participants are magicians with abilities beyond human reason. Even though it was only A rank.

Franco stabbed the enemy that came. Each time the attack destroyed more than 10 knights. And the shockwave from the attack also destroyed the enemy.

In less than 10 seconds, he had already destroyed over 70 clay knights.

The same goes for Juuno. Although the initial attack did not have much impact, it had high accuracy that did not waste a single bullet. Then as if magic had been activated, every enemy that received an attack instantly exploded into a lump of clay.

The number of clay knights Juuno defeated was not inferior to Franco. And as if nothing could stop the two, the two quickly advanced to where Yuko and Meika were. Of course while continuing to defeat the knights.

All who saw that could see the power the two showed was not the power of an A rank mage.

Meika and Yuko realize they don't have much time left. If it were like this, recovery would not be perfect. Then although the Unlimited Sword Knight could be said to be their flagship card, but it was also not because they were still imperfect.

"Well... We still have interesting things that have not been shown. It would be boring if they lost just because of this."

"You're right, miss Meika-!!!"

Not yet able to feel calm, Yuko was startled by something that shot towards them quickly. From his speed, it was a bullet. With hundreds of.

Yuko quickly uses Sakura to hold back the incoming bullets, but she loses quickly. A lot of bullets escaped. It was at this time that Gnome helped with defense magic. Instead, mana recovery magic came to a halt.

Yuko and Meika are once again made to break out in cold sweat. Magic bullets could indeed reach several kilometers, but this was the first time they had seen anyone able to fire hundreds of bullets so accurately.

That can't happen unless they already know their current location. But how do they know the position of the two?

No time to think about it. Juuno and Franco had already destroyed their second squad of more than 500 within minutes.

The goal of the knight is not only to defeat the enemy by numbers, but also by reducing the amount of enemy magic energy. Unfortunately, what is happening right now is beyond reason.

No sign of Juuno or Franco losing their magic energy. The magic energy of the two seemed to have no limits.

"Plan B."

Without another word, Yuko prepares a new magic. More precisely creating a new sword.

Unlike the previous one who created with a simple purpose, this time he made by exerting everything he had.

A sword that is invincible to anyone. A sword that will not be destroyed. A sword that will defeat all enemies. A sword that shatters any shield in this world.

"Print it, Divine Sword Gram!!!"

A sword appeared in Yuko's hand. Different from his katana sword, Sakura. The sword was a red two-sided sword that exuded a divine aura.

Just with the appearance of the sword, the tree trees around them slowly recovered and flourished.

Meanwhile, Meika also prepares to create something stronger than anything she created before. But this time it was not a knight.

When compared to the easy-to-destroy knight like before, he already had the strongest and most powerful knight he could trust.

"Yuko. I trust you all."

Yuko just nodded. And then, Meika starts a magic that uses all her magic energy.

What he created this time was the strongest armor. Protects against all attacks of any kind. There is no weapon in the world that can destroy the armor's defenses.

With the help of the Gnome, particles of magic light began to gather towards Yuko.

Slowly the particle formed a form of golden armor with divine light and equipped with a shield. Anyone immediately knew that the figure of Yuko this time became a holy female knight.

The current figure of Yuko might look like Charlmilia while using the Dragon Valkrye Gear. It's just without having wings with additional shields.

Before long Meika fell to the ground and Gnome slowly disappeared into particles of light.

"Yuko, win this fight!!"

"Of course!!!"

◼️▪️◼️

Shortly thereafter, Juuno and Franco's figures were finally spotted. They easily destroyed almost the entire clay knight without showing the slightest sign of exhaustion.

Yuko and Meika had no choice but to be surprised. Both were done in less than 10 minutes. No doubt both of them were true monsters.

Then the two immediately shot towards Yuko who was preparing to wait for the two.

Juuno shoot. Yuko held back with a shield and advanced with a slash. It was then that Franco came to resist Yuko's attack.

Franco's body bounced far back as it lost strength. It was then that Juuno returned to shooting faster and more than ever before.

Yuko could have resisted the attack, but she chose to dodge and used the opportunity to approach Juuno by accelerating suddenly.

Juuno widened his eyes in surprise. But it's too late.

Yuko's current magic and equipment quality is dozens of times stronger than before. Not only power, but also speed increased tremendously. The quality of magic energy had also improved. Despite the simple attack, Yuko's attack will have a great impact.

Although Juuno and Franco are strong, but they lost far from Yuko at this time.

"With this it's all over!!"

Yuko easily destroys Juuno. Yep. Destroys. This was completely beyond reason as all magic attacks would be channeled to Doll.

"!?"

Yuko remembers this is the same technique used by Franco before. An ice doll.

He quickly recovered from his shock. He just pointed the shield to the side. Then, a loud clashing sound rang out along with the trembling air.

"What a strong defense... "

"Don't think I'm the same as before."

"We know. But it happens to us too."

In an instant the number of Franco became five. It was not because magic made dolls like before, but because Franco's movements were so fast.

But Yuko was able to withstand all the attacks easily. Then with a speed that was not inferior to Franco, he retaliated.

Franco's body once again bounced backwards. He managed to stop by strengthening the grip of his feet to the ground.

Yuko didn't let Franco relax. He's back to attacking. Not only with a sword slash, Yuko also uses kicks, shields and a combination of Death Phantom sword techniques.

The result of all that is Yuko managed to surpass Franco in all things. This time it was Yuko who was pressing.

"Amazing. But you didn't forget I wasn't alone."

Suddenly a loud clashing sound was heard from the back of Yuko's head. It was the impact sound of a bullet being held back by an invisible shield.

Seeing that Franco was not at all surprised as if he had guessed what happened.

"I never forget. Your partner is someone who earned the title Invisible Shooter. At first I thought he got the title because of his invisible bullet magic. But it's wrong, isn't it?"

Franco was only speechless, but he showed a smile as if saying what Yuko said was all true.

"You strike brightly not only because you want to take advantage of the blizzard to separate us, but also make the impression that we're facing two people."

Not facing Juuno face to face, Yuko could only think of her, but if what she thought was right, then everything now made sense.

"Your ability to create snow puppets can be said to be almost the same as Miss Meika's ability, it's just that you're more into specialization. For an S-ranked couple like you, making a doll that looks so much like your partner must be easy."

"Haha.you're right. The dolls I created are limited, but I can make them almost equal to real humans as long as I know their characteristics."

"That's a wonderful ability."

"Maybe..."

Although only humble, but Yuko sure Franco is aware of what he can do with that ability.

If used appropriately, that ability can be so dangerous and frightening.

"But to me this is nothing more than an ability that has many limits and weaknesses. You must be aware of that."

Franco's ice dolls are very much alive, but they're very fragile. It is said to be no harder than ice.

"Yes. But that's why we're so caught off guard. Your partner's ability is no less terrible than we thought."

Invisible Shooters. A gunman invisible to anyone and shooting with a bullet invisible to anyone. Undoubtedly in terms of ability, Juuno is more terrible.

But that's not just Juuno's ability.

"He can shoot by equalizing the time when a snow puppet will shoot. It made us think it was the doll that did the shooting. Honestly, I've never seen anyone do anything that crazy."

"Well... He is indeed crazy. But he's reliable."

"Then by knowing all this, do you think you can win against us?"

"...indeed in this case I admit that it is difficult to defeat you, but that does not mean it cannot."

Hearing that, Franco smiled slightly. He then played the rapier so casually.

"Good spirit, but you forgot. ...We both."

"..."

Yuko fell silent and her hands clasped tightly onto her weapon. He knows very well what happens next.

[Meika Avrosa of Seiryuu Academy can't continue the fight]

It was an announcement as a sign Meika had been eliminated from the Battle War stage.

Aware of that, Yuko moved her teeth hard. He knew it was going to happen, but it still hurt.

"And one more thing your fault."

"..."

"What you said about Juuno's ability is almost all true. But his abilities are more than you think."

"!?"

"But your biggest mistake is thinking you can win against me with just your ability to improve greatly."

Hearing that which first appeared in Yuko's mind was a foolish thought. In the fight earlier it was seen that Franco lost far compared to him. Even Franco has admitted that.

It would be another story if Juuno fought with Franco. And even though it happens, Yuko knows there's no way Juuno's attack will have an impact on her.

That's the power he has now. A power born from the souls of Yuko and Meika.

"Don't bullshit!! Prove it with your sword. Of course if it can..."

Hearing Yuko's provocation, Franco only smiled broadly.

"I was planning to do it. Let's just say this is a lesson from your seniors."

The two unsheathed the weapon and in a blink of an eye disappeared. Then what happens is a shock wave that vibrates the air around.

One of the figures finally seemed to bounce back violently. That's the figure of Franco.

Yuko chased with such a fast movement. Even his movements seemed to disappear. He then appeared behind Franco with a slash.

In an instant Franco twisted his body and resisted the attack. Weight. And once again he bounced back.

Attack, defend, attack, defend. It kept repeating itself for a few minutes.

For those who see the fierce fight of both, it may look beautiful and awesome fight. But not a few also start to feel bored with a fight that has no end.

Meanwhile, for Yuko herself. He finally began to feel an oddity.

How could it take him this long to defeat Franco?

"You're overconfident in your power. I'm weaker, but that doesn't mean you can win."

"...you can use that technique apparently..."

Franco just smiled a little.

"For those who do not have great strength like me, it will be difficult to defeat opponents who have greater strength. It's just, defeating an opponent isn't just about fighting two forces."

The technique Franco used was a sword technique to dampen the opponent's attacks and drain the attack power elsewhere.

As a swordsman, Yuko could also use such a technique. At the same time he knew it was not a technique that could be used continuously. Even among his family, the technique could only be used a few times in a fight.

But in front of him was now a figure who could use the technique continuously. No doubt their opponents this time were indeed crazy.

"Now because I've been able to figure out the extent of your power. I will also use the power I have saved. Absolute Break!!"

The aura coming out of Franco changed and started moving towards the rapier Franco. The aura slowly solidified and formed a thin layer throughout the rapier.

Franco's whole magic now centers on his rapier. Seeing that the fur on his back stood a sign warning him that the rapier was dangerous.

Even though he believed in his current defense, it would be best not to accept his attack. Then because his speed was superior, dodging was not a difficult thing.

Yuko could already see her victory in this fight. For Juuno's problems he can think about later, the most important thing now is his victory against Franco.

The two then once again fought the sword. Unlike the previous, this time Franco managed to survive and fend off Yuko's attack.

Yuko was surprised, but it was no big deal. Even this was within his estimation.

"Don't be arrogant for successfully resisting my attack."

"No, but you're wrong to think I'm just holding back your attack."

"!?"

At first Yuko did not understand what Franco was saying, but she suddenly felt pain all over her body.

-What happened?

Not much later he fell to the ground. All his strength disappeared and he could not move his body at all.

He then looked up. Franco's smiling face was so nauseating.

The tip of the rapier was now in front of his eyes. He was then that he could see something so small at the end of that rapier. A magic needle that makes the rapier longer.

Because the needle was so small, it was completely invisible except looking so closely.

And finally Yuko realized. He was defeated long ago.

"Every attack will be routed to Doll. Knowing that made the participants free to use their strength without fear of harming the opponent. But you're wrong to think all attacks will be diverted."

The real evidence of that is the presence of pain that is still left after receiving an attack.

"Attacks of paralysis type, illusion type, psychological type and other types that do not damage the participants' bodies cannot be diverted to Doll. If you don't realize something as simple as this, you don't deserve this stage at all."

"...I understand that. But your attack isn't of the type that doesn't damage the body. I wrong?"

Yuko has given up. From the beginning Yuko and Meika danced in the palms of Juuno and Franco. There's no point in fighting anymore.

"really. When I attacked you earlier, I planted a magic needle on your body. Because the needle was so small, it had no impact. No, it's more appropriate if it hasn't had an impact."

And because it has no impact, then nothing needs to be diverted to Doll.

"But with just one trigger, the needle will have a big enough impact to damage the body from the inside. That's why the attack couldn't have worked you to put up with your shield."

"I understand all that, but when did you do it?"

"You know, in our school there was a monster. Learning to use his techniques is not wrong."

"..."

Hearing that Yuko stupefied. To him this figure in front of him was a true monster, but the monster admitted there were other monsters more dangerous than him.

He didn't need much thought to know who he meant.

"Ahaha... I also agree. If you think back, you two don't deserve to be called monsters."

"If you understand, then I don't need to explain anymore. Unlike us, your path is still long. No, it's more appropriate if it's just starting out. One day you may catch up with us."

"I'm going to do it."

Both then smiled. It was at this moment that the two admitted the figure in front of them was a rival.

"Because there's nothing to say anymore, see you."

Franco delivers the final strike and ends the fight between the two.

◼️▪️◼️

After the announcement of the sign Yuko was eliminated from the Battle War stage. Juuno's figure suddenly appeared in empty air.

I don't know why he looks so upset.

"I told you not to play. You beat him too long."

"He's an interesting kid. I look forward to how he grows up."

"You're not his father."

Suddenly Juuno's eyes looked serious.

"How's it?"

"Limit Release techniques required more magic energy than expected. It'll be another story if we've perfected that technique."

Juuno put his hand on his chin.

"Absorb magic energy around and use it to replenish the magic energy used. After successfully mastering this magic, I think we can overcome our weakness."

"Don't be moody. Being able to think of such magic alone was already including a genius. As usual you're not a satisfied man."

Franco. He admitted that the motherhood of his partner is not too good, but thanks to that they can also go so far.

Juuno was always thinking of ways to overcome their weaknesses as a less special magician. Thanks to that Franco had to experience many things because he was the victim of a new magic experiment.

Remembering that Franco wanted to cry.

"We'll find a way to make Limit Release more efficient. You better get ready."

"Why am I not surprised by this?"

After that both of them intend to leave the place because it is possible that they have attracted the attention of other participants. With their current magic energy, facing the other participants was not a difficult matter, but it would be best if they were in a perfect state.

But only had time to step their feet a few steps, they felt the presence of people they did not expect at all.

"I'm quite surprised you used a moment like this to attack."

"really so. We want to face you, but not this way."

"..."

The figure was only silent and tightly grasped his magic arm in the form of a holy spear that could kill gods.

Although not looking directly, but both of them know that the figure has a face full of regret and anger.

"....sorry..."

Although this was not a inappropriate way to do it, but he had a wish that he wanted to achieve in any way. For now he does not care about his honor as a fighter and a witch.

It was at this moment that the princess known as the Berserker Princess started to move.
