「St-Stop it! You will die you know?! Even if you use that sword, you won’t be able to win against Flamia, you hear me!?」
「If I don’t try it, I will never find out! Palmyra, I am not going to disapprove the decision you made……..But allow me to say one thing」
Kirika stands on top of the tree, her blue mantle flutters as she overlooked Palmyra from above. At the flustered demon girl companion, towards Palmyra, she said…
「Seeing you try to escape from that girl called Flamia, and seeing the you who is trying to escape from the current situation………You look really pathetic」
「……!!?」
「………..Teeeeeeeiiii!!」
With a loud scream along with her fighting spirit, a rainbow-colored light cut through the air. Cutting through the interdimensional space. It was the sword Alkanshal, which was able to cut that demon Groom in half, the sword of the royal family.
「Eh, Eh eh? What is it, what’s happening!?」
Flamia reflexively lowered her elevation as she avoided the strike of the sword, the wind pressure which passed through her had seven colors of the rainbow. Because Flamia had to rapidly brake in mid acceleration, it was as if I was riding a roller coaster that suddenly stopped in midair, and the force of impact made me yell out instinctively.
「Himeno-san!?」
Stepping on her shining foothold, she turned around in our direction as she held her sword the Alkanshel and wore her silver armor. Kirika was seemingly taking separate action from Palmyra and she managed to catch up to us in the nick of time.
「Using a surprise attack, is completely crazy you know! What would you have done if I fell from the skies!?」
「I’m sorry Odamori-kun. Well, in that situation I will try my best to catch you, alright!」
「Try your best…. Oi!? Don’t tell me you are trying to get rid of me together at the same time…….?」
「Whether I was thinking of doing such a thing, why don’t you see into my heart?」
Replying in this kind of joking manner, I felt that her mind was experiencing a very complex set of emotions. Under this hopeless situation, Kirika came to rescue me……Perhaps that is even after hearing the danger that Flamia poses from Palmyra…. She could have chosen to run away, however Kirika did no such thing.
「Whatsit, so suddenly doing such a rude thing….Who is this elder sis? Ah, could it be, that you are Palmyra’s comrade?」
With a face full of displeasure, Flamia was asking Kirika a question.
「I don’t need to answer your questions. Listen up, all you need to do is release that person over that, otherwise….!」
Her expression hardened a little after failing her surprise attack, Kirika was standing on top of a tree as she held her sword in a fighting pose. Having someone so suddenly attacking her, I thought that Flamia would fly into a fit of rage, but…..
「Ahaa! Are you going to be playing with me, elder sis? You have the perfect timing, the monsters around here were so weak they could not even be considered a warm up for me!」
Whilst smiling such an innocent smile, she was spouting some frightening words, she directed her hand which were not holding on to me. This is bad, it’s the attack she used previously, Flamia’s mysterious attack….!
「Dodge it, Kirika! You can’t detect this girl’s attack visually, it will abruptly attack you!」
「……!」
「Fufu, it’s……Too late! There you are! It’s time to become flat as a rice cake〜!」
For a fleeting moment….I could see the air where Kirika was standing become “distorted”.
However she did not escape, nor did she fly away, instead Kirika was focused on Flamia.
「Haaa…….Seiii!!」
Hyupan……! Kirika aimed at the distortion in the air, with her rainbow colored sword as she slashed downwards.
「Eh!?」
Flamia raised a surprised voice. Pashi….There was a high pitched noise as if some sort of glass cracked, the warped air space that was approaching Kirika, seemed to have completely dispersed as it got cut right in the middle.
「Palmyra told me towards the end…….That your attack was the control of space itself」
Is that so….?! Flamia’s power is to manipulate space itself as she crushes her opponents with the pressure! That explains why you can’t see it coming nor can you defend against it. However, the exception exists right here. With the special characteristic of Alkanshel which is able to cut down space itself, she might be able to do this…….!
「Using that to cut it…..It has become possible to offset each other’s attacks!」
「…………!」
Flamia was blinking in wonder whilst staring at her hand and at Kirika. If I’m not mistaken, this is probably the first time in her life that anyone has been able to prevent her attack. Alright, if it’s like this then……there may be a chance for her to win. Kirika, might be able to defeat this Flamia!
