Casablanca and Hibiscus stand side by side as they emotionlessly stare at Flow who is, right now, being vigilant against the twin elves.
Their powers must be just a fragment of the real Astlan Ira, but nevertheless, it’s power is already overwhelming that our opponent, Flow, the Arcana of Gluttony, becomes cautious against it leaping several meters away from it.
“Hey..! White brat! What’s that?!”
“Hell if I know what happened to them!”
“Kaah. Don’t snap at me like that. You’re so cold!”
“Shut up!”
Flow tried asking me.
I do know about it but… Like I would tell him about it… and don’t talk to me like we are the closest buddy around.
I despise you.
You ate my ability to walk! What the hell is that power? Isn’t it a bit too much?!
As I was glaring at Flow, the two started to make their move.
“[Flare.]”
“[Abyss.]”
Casablanca rode the large moon crescent blade and ascended to the sky. Fire starts to cover the large crescent blade and it also encroaches her whole body. Even though fire covers her, it doesn’t seem to burn her.
Hibiscus’s spirit summon, the large wolf made out of Asltan’s Ira, dives to the ground and become like a shadow. The shadow then moves, expanding its span towards Flow.
“W-what the--!?”
Flow becomes confused with the sudden attack of the two. Their powers and abilities, at this point, are all unknown to him.
Little does he know…or I know… he was already cornered.
As the shadow the crept up to him, almost touching him, he reflexively jumps toward the sky to avoid contact with it. But in mid air, he didn’t think of the sudden attack from Casablanca.
Casablanca, who is riding the large crescent moon, holds the handle of her weapon and rams it straight to Flow’s face. As the contact is made, the sizzling sound came to my ear.
Flow is being cooked by the fire of Casablanca as he descends down, still covered in fire.
BAM!
“Gack!”
Flow was slammed to the ground rather painfully. The fire from Casablanca’s attack didn’t cease to burn him. He started rolling around on reflex because of the hotness.
And the shadow earlier comes at him when he least expected it.
The fire that seemingly endless was extinguished and, the shadow from earlier has crept below him. As he noticed its existence, it was already too late for him to act.

“What…?”
The shadow emerges from its lurking spot and suddenly…
“GRAAAHH!”
“FU--!”
In a form of a large wolf, Flow is bitten whole on his body as Hibiscus’s spirit summon devours and chew him. Flow struggles to set his own self to free from the large wolf’s jaw.
Gathering magic in his claw, he executed the large magical tri-claw and aims it towards the Spirit Wolf that’s pinning him between its teeth.
“Chew on this!”
As Flow shouts, he swings down his claws imbued with magic but before it could even hit, the large wolf melted quickly as if avoiding his attack.
Sure enough, it didn’t hit anything and rather, it didn’t separate from him.
“Bad…really bad…”
The wolf is biting flow on the knees to restrict his movements. He can only smile nervously at the shameful sight he is placed into.
“A wolf race being bitten by a spirit wolf… bad…really bad irony…”
Serves you right!
I can’t still feel my legs. If I can, I would have punched you and stab you several times already while you are stuck in there but…
Nearby, a strong power is being built up…
Casablanca…holding her weapon’s handle with both of her hands and staring at Flow with empty emotion, the large crescent blade covered with Astlan’s Ira is forming a larger crescent made out of pure power.
Even I can sense the intensity of the blow it will make.
“[--- --- --- --- --- ---------- Astlan’s Ira.]”
!!
What did she say?!
Is the nature of that power traces back to Astlan himself and grants anyone who inherited a subconscious knowledge about it?!
I know that attack! Even though it feels hundred thousand times less intense, I definitely know it!
The ground becomes ashen around Casablanca. The supposed crimson blazing flames are right now, a color of dark. Everything in its path will be disintegrated to nothingness. The power that should only be exclusive to the Rage King, The king of Human Continent, The Continent of Prospering Land, Ashfon Astlan Lioneart.
It is no mere imitation. It’s a genuine power passed down by the first Lionheart, although, a fragment, it is still frightening.
………
Casablanca swings her weapon and…
FSSSHHH!
“GUAAAAHHH!”
It hits Flow, completely covering him with overwhelming force. The attack doesn’t end there. It also penetrated the rabbles of the burning houses, completely eradicating everything in its path.
………
As the phase of power subside…
Flow is nowhere to be seen…
“Ah… I can walk now…”
I stand up from where I was dropped off and observe the surroundings…
There was a huge devastation caused by Casablanca… a straight line of ashen path. Her flames swallowed the weaker flames and mowed and destroyed everything it made contact with.
As the sea of dust that has risen settled, I can see the visage of the twins standing side by side.
They are strong. They finished off Flow which the thing I wasn’t able to do. It makes me a bit envious of that power…but…
“Casablanca! Hibiscus!”
“…”
“…”
“Eh…?!”
It messes up with your sanity if you are not in proper control of it. You won’t be able to recognize which is an ally and which is a foe.
As they both noticed me, Casablanca started conjuring flames and shoots it towards me. Hibiscus rode the giant wolf’s back and charges at me with its gaping jaw!
“[Barrier!]”
BAM!
The flames Casablanca collides with my barrier and shook the ground. And as the second batch of flames made contact, the barrier immediately broke!
“H-hey! Stop it!”
“…”
“…”
The giant wolf got close to me. It opens its large jaw to swallow me but…
“[Blooming Thorn! Ravage!]”
Spikes made out of barrier pierces the wolf before it could even get its mouth close to me, penetrating its whole body.
I saw Hibiscus face is she jumps away from the wolf.
Her face was twisted in pain.
Guh…
So if I attack the large wolf, it would also hurt her?!
What the hell…
What should I even do?!
………
I take a glance at Casablanca.
She isn’t moving from her place and sweat was pouring from her forehead…
As I thought, that attack took a toll from her and she can’t move now. She can only send fire attacks at me from her position.
My only problem now is Hibiscus…
I need to defend myself from her. I cannot attack her so I need to tire her out like Casablanca.
But that would mean that she needs to use that attack too, and it will be used to me…
“Bad…really bad…right?”
Wha-!?
As I turn around, Flow is standing a bit far from me! He is bleeding everywhere as he takes a step towards the two, not to me.
And as if piss, his magical power is now getting stronger than before!
Was he playing around earlier?!
“How did you…?!”
“Answer?! You want?! Answer?! Bad…really bad!”
“Ack!”
Flow dashes beside me at an unbelievable speed and kicks me in the stomach.
“I ate my location. Doing that, I reverted to another place, but still…I still receive this damage!”
“Ack…ha…haa…”
“All of you! From this revision time…! Full of deviants! Full of abnormality!”
“Wha…”
“First is that spearman from earlier who took down C’rothgor with a single attack! That man girl! Good thing I have taken the soul of his twin as a hostage!”
“Who…are…”
“And then this…! Bad…really bad…!”
The air around Flow changed. There is no more of those leisure antics that he did. All I can see now… is a man that befits his title…
As he glares at the twin elves, he brandishes both of his hands and pours an astonishing amount of magic to it!
“I am…going to cut down those two!!”
“I won’t let you…!”
This battle is far from over!
