Chapter 107
“So this is the real deal, Albert-sama.”
“If only she had kept underestimating us, this would’ve been easier.”
“How troublesome.”
“Seriously.”
Albert-sama and I braced ourselves for the next attack, exchanging dry remarks. Though we joked, our eyes never left Flamme-san. We knew things were about to get tough.
“Hah!”
Yukari-san was the first to leap forward, slashing with blinding speed—too fast for an ordinary person to even follow. But her opponent was now a demon god. The attacks were casually blocked. Flamme-san didn’t seem to wear any armor, yet Yukari-san’s every strike was deflected. In contrast, Flamme-san’s blows were intensifying, forcing Yukari-san onto the defensive. Unlike before, a hint of urgency crept into her expression.
“Let’s go, Black Wind!”
“I’ll follow up—Water Spider!”
In sync with Yukari-san’s movements, Yuri summoned a tornado around Flamme-san, while Aqua-san sent out web-like water blades. Their attacks were meant to bind Flamme-san and support Yukari-san.
“Rrraaaahhhh!!”
“—!? No way!?”
With terrifying ease, Flamme-san dispersed both attacks, shattered Yukari-san’s naginata in a single blow, and sent her flying—
“Sanctified Manifestation!”
But even before that hit landed, the sacred barrier woven into her clothes activated. Yukari-san was enveloped in light, and her outfit transformed instantly—into a battle-ready white uniform designed for mobility. In her hands was a restored naginata. Sanctified Manifestation shaped sacred magic into clothing and weapons—her naginata included. Gripping her weapon once more, Yukari-san narrowly deflected Flamme-san’s next attack.
“Thank you, Yuuka-san!”
“Don’t mention it—just be careful!”
“Yuuka! Do mine next!”
“Understood! Sanctified Manifestation!”
“Thanks! Headwind!”
I activated Yuri’s sanctified gear. Using wind to hinder Flamme-san’s movements, she closed in for melee combat, unleashing her unpredictable swordsmanship. On closer inspection, it was a style that harnessed wind—accelerating or decelerating strikes to throw off her opponent. Yukari-san joined in again, and the two engaged Flamme-san together. But Flamme-san didn’t seem fazed by the two-on-one.
“Ice Wall!”
Minato-sama conjured an ice wall before them. Flamme-san’s fist slammed into it, but left no mark. If she shattered Yukari-san’s weapon with a punch, her power was immense—but Minato-sama’s defense seemed superior.
“Minato!”
“Leave it to me.”
Sensing Yuri’s intent, Minato-sama raised several more ice walls. Using the wind, Yuri dashed across the surfaces at high speed, creating chaos around Flamme-san.
“Thermal Updraft!”
“Ice Chains!”
Cecilia-sama summoned a rising current of hot air, supporting Yuri, while Minato-sama bound Flamme-san with chains of ice, restricting her movement.
“You call this power!? Don’t insult me!”
“Damn! This is bad!”
“Yuri! Fall back!”
Flamme-san roared—and fiery giants rose around her. A whirlwind of flames surged outward, threatening to consume everything. Minato-sama held it back with ice walls, while Cecilia-sama tried to suppress the blaze. The power balance was teetering. We had to do something now—while we still could!
“Albert-sama!”
“Yuuka, activate everyone’s sanctified gear. Then get them to fall back.”
“Are we using that?”
“Yes. Obliteration Magic.”
“Understood. Sanctified Manifestation! Everyone, get clear!”
At my command, Yuri, Aqua-san, and Yukari-san retreated. Minato-sama and Cecilia-sama met my eyes and nodded—they were buying us time.
“Albert-sama, how much longer?”
“Almost done! Yuuka, activate my sanctified gear and lend me your power!”
“Right!”
I touched Albert-sama and invoked his Sanctified Manifestation, pouring my magic into him to create a special custom set of sacred gear.
“Good, it’s ready! Thanks, Yuuka. Sister, Mina, I’m about to release it—get back!”
Minato-sama and Cecilia-sama instantly withdrew. With no barriers remaining, Flamme-san’s flames surged forward, aiming to engulf us.
“Destruction is the foundation of creation, and creation is born from destruction... Obliterate.”
Albert-sama unleashed his Obliteration Magic. It swallowed Flamme-san’s fire—and returned everything before us to pure light.
