The Battle In Town 2
“Hoh, you can use Level 9 Magic as well huh”
Gilgas speaks to me happily. He really is a battle maniac, isn’t he. He then releases his arms over while laughing. I’d be avoiding it if it’s just now, but now, when I’m using Lightning Heavenly Garment
“Lightning Spear”
about 20 spears of lightning appear behind me. I turn all those spears at the approaching arms and release them. ‘Zudodododon!’, the sound of the spears and arms colliding reverberates. However, in the meantime
“Seiyaa!”
Gilgas jumps over from above. It looks like he’d started moving at the same time as when he released his arms. 8 tomahawks carry on to swing down at me.
I immediately jump away from that spot. I suppose it’s quite powerful when Gilgas swings the tomahawks down at where I was. A thunderous roar that’s to the point that it resounded throughout the entire town. A considerable impact travels. If it wasn’t for Caro’s barrier, this whole place would’ve probably been blown away.
Gilgas, without any indication of being bothered by it, once again face towards me. I can’t win by just dodging either. I take one step forward and, there’s the sound, ‘Bachi!’.
As the lightning surges in a straight line, Gilgas’ gigantic body appears before my eyes. Gilgas was surprised by me, who suddenly appeared before his eyes, and his movements dulled. Without letting that opportunity slip, I unleash my chain attack.
“Haah!”
I thrust 8 consecutive times and send both arms flying. Gilgas spreads his arms like he’s doing a ‘Banzai’ and reveals his gigantic body. I gather magic power at Rolgar’s tip, aim at the fully-exposed abdomen, and thrusts at a godly speed.
“Lightning Fang!”
A straight flash that surges in bluish purple surges like it’s being sucked into Gilgas’ abdomen. In that instant, like a bolt of lightning had fallen, a thunderous roar resounds and Gilgas was blown away. He was blown about 20 metres away and crashed into a house. A cloud of dust dances from that impact, but from this feeling, he’s still
“Guoooo! Ain’t too shabby huh!”
Gilgas who appears from the cloud of dust. His armour has shattered and he’s bleeding. However, like it’s assembling on top of it, the armour repairs once again. It’s a given since it’s being made by magic huh. However, he really is sturdy, isn’t he. I need an attack that penetrates his flesh on top of ripping off his armour to bring him down.
Gilgas materializes the tomahawks that were destroyed from the impact just now in his 8 arms, and behind him……isn’t that too many, oi. He materializes a number of arms that’s troublesome to even count.
“Haahaahaa! This is my full power! It heads towards everything that’s caught in my Magic Power Detection. Fast as you may be, how are you going to deal with this number!? Goo!”
Gilgas says that, aims all his arms at me, and releases them. I may be able to avoid all of them, but it’s the end if I’m cornered. Hence, I
“uu! You, have you given up!”
Gilgas who loses his temper at my actions. It’s because from the perspective of him, who’s a battle maniac, what I’m doing is something strange. As for why Gilgas started to lose his temper, it’s because I kept Rolgar back into the Item Ring.
Like they’re responding to Gilgas’ anger, the arms raise their speed and approach me. However, for me to give up, there’s
“No way, right!”
Lightning surges around me the moment I enhanced my magic power. And then, the surging lightning changes into various shapes. Into various weapons like swords, spears, axes, clubs, war hammers, shields, and such. This is a technique I came up with
“Lightning Emperor’s Arsenal”
I hold my hand over my head, and the weapons that were created fly to my side. I counter with the various weapons, the arms that hail down one after another.
I slice the arms apart when I hold swords in both hands; I pierce the arms when I hold a spear. I smash the arms when I hold an axe; I crush the arms when I hold a war hammer.
I destroy the approaching arms like a raging storm. I create a shield and block the ones that seem like they will land; I nock arrows onto the bow and shoot down the ones that are still far away.
It becomes quite an affectation since the weapons that I myself have used before is only the sword and the spear, but even this is more than enough if it’s just to destroy the arms. My body remembers the basic movements. I just swing the weapons insentiently. As though it’s like a part of my body. I myself am currently lightning, and the weapons are also being created by lightning, so it’s not necessarily mistaken though.
And then
“With this, it’s everything!”
I destroy the last arm. Arms that had close to a 100 in total were broken. I carry on with that momentum and start running. Where I’m headed, is to the side of Gilgas, who’s laughing despite the fact that his serious technique was shut down.
Gilgas raises his tomahawks overhead. I materialize swords of lightning in both hands and exchange blows with the 8 tomahawks. Dodges and repels; I’m blocked by the tomahawks if I attack. It’s an instant that feels like it’ll continue eternally. 2 swords and 8 tomahawks disappear upon exchanging blows.
I instantly create a lightning war hammer. First of all, it’s the annoying armour. I strike the armour with the war hammer. Gilgas attacks me with his arms, but all of it strikes the war hammer. ……Guu, what strength. The vibrations come to my arms.
But Gilgas arms that were endowed with Magic are cracking and the armour on the arms that were there from the beginning is peeling off and his arms are bleeding.
“GUUu, OOO!”
Gilgas who punches at me nevertheless. I erase the war hammer and create the weapon I’m the best at. What I create is, of course, a spear. I create 1 in each hand and receive his attacks with 2 spears.
I avoid the arms that punch at me and pierce the arms with the spears. I then create new spears. I defend with one and thrust with the other; I make new ones when I stab and release it from my hand.
It disappears after it stabbed the arms so the cracks and haemorrhage are spreading from there. Gilgas’ strength has also weakened. I’ll push through here! I sweep his arms away with the spear; pierce and destroy the arms that were created. I avoid the incoming arms and thrust violently at them again. And then
“It ends with this!”
I pierce the spear into Gilgas’ throat. Gilgas’ movement stops and he vomits blood. I remove the spear and he’s bleeding from there. However, Gilgas speaks to me while laughing.
“Gahaa! Haa, haa, I never thought that I’d actually lose. With a wound like this, I guess I’m gonna die. But we will resurrect. I don’t know when it’ll be, but let’s do it again when I resurrect! HaaHaaHaa!”
Gilgas’ body turned into ashes little by little and disappeared as it is. I don’t want to do it anymore……. I fall behind while thinking of such things. Ah~I feel sluggish.
◇◇◇
I couldn’t do anything but watch the figure of Lei fighting against the Demon Race. Even though I trained for the sake of fighting together with Lei. I couldn’t do anything. Both the Dragon and the Demon Race’s strength were beyond my imagination.
“……, ……xia, Alexia!”
I was thinking about such things when I was called by Aerith who holds Caroline.
“……What’s the matter?”
“It’s not, ‘what’s the matter’! Lei won against the Demon Race so we have to go!”
“……Un”
I don’t have the face to meet Lei. I have trained together with Shishou, and yet, to think there’s such a wide gap. Thereupon, my hand was held by somebody.
“……Aerith?”
“You’re clenching too hard. You’re bleeding”
It looks like I was clenching my hand with all my strength. Blood is flowing from my palm. I treat it with Heal.
“I understand Alexia’s feelings. If it’s the current us, we aren’t allowed to help Lei nor fight together with him”
I raise my face and over there was the figure of Aerith who warps her face in frustration.
“But, even so, I won’t give up. For the sake of fighting together with Lei one day. I will do my best so that I’m able to fight by his side”
Aerith who looks at me with a serious expression. That’s right. I can’t be giving up from something of this extent. I don’t want to be the one who’s only being helped, I want to help Lei as well. Aerith, who could tell that my expression has changed, smiles. Ferris also clenches her fists and nods.
Let’s ask of Shishou and become stronger. Until we can stand by Lei’s side. For the sake of spending our lives with Lei hereafter. We rush to the side of Lei, who won against the Demon Race. We didn’t realise that, at this time, our bodies were faintly shining…….
