A sound of clash of metal can be heard to the room, many damage infrastructure of the underground was in total mess and destroyed, as the other grounds and surroundings engulf in fire, Inoue commands her sword wings in elegance as she strike Raul while the latter having a hard time to defend himself on the contrary in facing such admirable foe like Inoue, although he didn’t yet discover her identity behind those mask and title.
Inoue coordinated her sword wings and start to make a massive combo attack to Raul while commanding and coordinating her remain swords wings to deflect the fire blasts coming from Margarette and then she command her remaining free swords to dash and stab Margarette, she just pinned down the nimble Raul, but Raul manage to summon rock terrain to block the incoming piercing blades and buy time to react a counter.
Raul sunk his sword with a burst of magical force to the ground as the crystal blades glows and shine, deep below the ground emerge a crystalline rocks that wants to pierce Inoue, but before it’s about to land a piercing hit to Inoue, Inoue suddenly reacts swift and makes a barrage of slashes from her odachi to the sharp crystal and kicked it as it breaks easily, she then makes a blurring slash attacks as the other sharp crystal disperse into pieces, Inoue dashes to Raul who is just shook from the Inoue’s sudden course of action, sooner the two collides again as they return to battle.
Clashing sparks and blade glows, as the two exchanging swords strikes to each other, Inoue making a deadly strikes as which Raul avoiding cautiously with haste as he countered with tremendous force of his crystal blades as being parried by Inoue, Margarette keep her flame charging as she trying to shoot some fire balls at Inoue but being blocked by Inoue’s broad sword while fighting Raul in close combat.
Both the fighters have an equal set on footing although it is one versus two, Inoue still gain her cool and momentum while opposite of the situation of the two who are slightly exhaust and a little bit dazed, Raul barrages some earth spells like mud slides to slow Inoue on her tracks which as to why Inoue use her fleet footing to dodge the terrible attack.
He is not finish yet, he barrage to Inoue’s direction of some earth type magic rock pebbles that moving in bullet speed, anyone who will be hit by it will take a holes in his/her body, Inoue spins her Odachi and deflect the incoming rock bullets and then she countered a wild swing, making an arc slash that cut through anything it’s passes, Raul tumbled in the side to dodge the slash arc because his sense trigger that the slash arc was dangerous one.
The pillar was cut diagonally and slide to each other, luckily that he was manage to react on time or else, he too, was cut to half diagonally, Raul made another chant summons some mud golems to fight Inoue, Margarette summons some fire revenants too to aid Raul in fight, Inoue just chuckled as she disperse her Odachi blade and summons an obsidian-like blade that have a deep dark lustre as it glows, it also emits some black static charges, making it look like decent and powerful.
Inoue runs to the group of golem and fire revenants as she strike the first row in fast speed, dodging any punching and smashing of the golem and the fire breath of fire revenants, Raul and Margarette just dazed and shook at Inoue’s incredible speed, but later their regain their senses and focus, Raul makes an earth chant as the formation of spike rocks forms beneath him, he then move it by a touch of his hands and point it’s position to the direction of Inoue who still engaging in the fight.
Margarette start also her chant and put a lot of flames in the spiked rock of Raul, both the two launch a missile like battery and rained it to Inoue, Inoue commands her sword wings to shield her from the attack as she start to dash to them and cut all the mud golem who are blocking her way, and Margarette saw this as she then begins another fire chant to remaining fire revenant as the fire revenants possessed the mud golems and evolvers and turn into a lava muck, it start barraging a magma spit on Inoue, which as to why Inoue gives a point of notice in its sudden evolution and found some counter measure to destroy the Lava muck.
“Fire and earth combination element huh? Interesting,,” She muttered as she strikes down one lava muck that is closer to her.
“Time to be serious, I can’t make my master to wait for long!” Inoue said as she disperse her blade wings and spins them around her in swift motion like a cutting saw.
Even the magma spit is blocked by the remaining of floating swords that Inoue have in her side, Inoue continue her onslaught and tantrum to destroy all the Lava muck, She then careful dodging the raining pebbles and fire blast coming from the two by using her remaining floating swords , after a few moments, the whole ground is sizzling in so much heat as all the lava muck is destroyed easily, Inoue was totally on heat as edge of her broadsword shining in edge.
"Well, well, well, I think the game you have planning is over now" Inoue said as she intimidate walking in front of the two.
"Tsk, stubborn wretched creature" Margarette said as she keep compelling some fire force to complete her final blow.
"I will buy some time, this one is not truly an ordinary fighter, I can sense that she is somewhat familiar, yet much more deadlier, just who is she?" Raul thought as he change his crystal blade into a bronze coloured gauntlet and greaves.
"I will take her head on, Margarette, do what you must in order for us to land a killing blow and escaped from this place" Raul instruct as he then run fast and start to engage Inoue gain.
"Attacking now? Well be my guest!" Inoue taunting replied as she then disperse her broadsword and change it to another claymore with brilliant shine.
"Light and dark, time to compel the balance" Inoue muttered as she then charge straight to Raul.
"Just die already!" Raul said as he then charge his fist with powerful force and about to land a massive punching blow.
"You are asking death then!" Inoue replied as she charge her blade to full power as she release her mana and distribute it to all her swords.
Both of them clash again as Inoue makes a rapid slash and hack while Raul blocked it and try to hit the nimble Inoue, both of them are giving a blow to blow power as the wind pressure are getting sucked and whirl around them, their images of defensive blocks and parried are making a sparks to glow, while no one of them is pushing from their stands.
Inoue seems enjoying the fight as she grins in excitement, while Raul is gritting his teeth in deep hatred due to Inoue's stubbornness and nimble, Margarrete has finished her fire conservation, her body start to imbued in fiery aura, as the temperature near her start to rise up, Raul and Inoue felt her intense presence, Raul kicked Inoue away to escape away from her as Inoue blocks his greaves with her dark obsidian-like blade.
"Raul I'm finish, I can release it now!" Maragarette exclaimed as she then smile sarcastically and make a few hand signs and runic symbols form below and start to rising up and revolves around Margarette.
"Fire then at her, make sure she will roast to death!" Raul said as he returned to Margarette's side while smiling and breath heavily from a very tiring battle.
"I call forth the flames of retribution, punish to burn all my enemies, consumes them in blazing heat of Inferno! drag their soul to burn into ashes! Come forth "Flaming Core"!!" Margarette finishes as she release a burst of flame waves to Inoue’s direction, consuming her front as the infrastructure destroyed in hit, releasing a pulse fire that destroys anything it touches, the luck of surviving its greatly reduce unless if there is a powerful relic that can stops it's impending doom.
"Now burn! Until you are fully disintegrate! Ahahahahahaha!" Margarette shouts as she then laugh maniacally.
Because of the sudden explosion erupts from the room of the three along with the explosion of the other rooms via Yinhua's triggering the explosive inscription pattern, the area foundation of the base is starting to crumble and shake, Dark mages survivors are trembling in the aftershock, both of them are starting to have a panic attack as they pushes away each other in finding way to escape and to survive in the grounds.
The fire diminishes and revealed a fiery flaming field that roasting the whole surroundings and environment as the fire engulf the side of the rooms and the other parts of it, Margarette pants heavily as she gasped for air, that chant was indeed powerful to cast and requires a lot of flaming discharges to invoke and kill all enemy, it was Margarette's special trump card in finishing a horde of enemies.
"At last it's end, Margarette, let's get out of here before we buried alive, time is running!" Raul said as he breath in relief, as he disperse his gauntlet and greaves.
"Ok, surely that b**ch is totally roast to death, she choose a wrong person to deal with" Margerette said as she smile devilishly and look away from the flaming field.
Both the two are start to move, but before they can leave a meter behind, a sword flings in bullet speed, it was so fast that even Raul cannot respond in time, it shoots suddenly in the back of Margarette and pierced trough her chest as the blood spurt and bleeds, Raul is so stunned in that moment as he looked to Maragarette as she falls to the ground lifelessly and her body twitched a little and then stop like a puppet that cut its string.
"MMAARRGGARREETTEE!!!" Raul screams as he come close to pick Margarette, he felt a deep shock and ache both physical and mental.
"No! No,,, no,, why! Aaggghhh!" Raul cried as he grief in the sudden death of his comrade, tears start to flow down from his eyes and falls to the face of Margarette.
Raul remove his hood along with Margarette, his face was a fair gentleman like, as his ebony black hair can be seen, his deep brown eyes that been flooded with his tears, Margarette's reveal a Blondie bob cut hair style, her eyes was sapphire blue but looks like lifeless, her face gives warmth appearance yet fading away, Raul hugged Margarette's lifeless body, it's already too late for him to save her.
He grieved on his comrades death, as he cried in sorrow, he heard a step from the flamed grounds, a step of horrorific figure who are walking with many blades floating at her side, Her mask was removed and reveal her cold yet majestic face, she wears a decorated cap over her black and smooth long hair with curve trimmings at the end, she is wearing a violet shorten length Yukata-like clothing with a various decoration in each side and with a red ribbon strapped on the back and an obi attached on the front, with a detached sleeves, a mini skirt, black stockings and violet long boots, she held's a huge strange sword that emits a incredible aura and power in it.
"You!!" Raul said as he now realized who is his enemy identity, he was gawked in surprise.
This tale has been unlawfully obtained from Royal Road. If you discover it on Amazon, kindly report it.
He then now realized how as foolish and unlucky he and Margarette in the situation they entered with, so in the beginning, they didn't stood a chance to defeat their enemy, it's look like he was toyed in battle all along, as he held his hand tight in grip to Margarette's dead body, now a walking horror is moving towards them, he can't move as the cold sweat flows down from his head and his back, fear succumbs in his entirety to the upcoming doom.
But Inoue just passes to the two and ignore Raul, as she didn't give a slight notice of his existence, she just move from the other doors as she leave the area as if nothing happen here, Raul gains composure as he take his strength to stand and look to Inoue's silhouette, he was totally confused yet scared, he carried Margarette in his back and look to Inoue with dazed in his face.
"One of the Chaos Strikers, Legendary Celestial Maiden "Sword General" Inoue Yamato!!" Raul said in deep shock as his body shivers in Inoue cold yet intimidating presence.
"You calling?" Inoue replied as she stops from her tracks.
"That means your contractor, Lady Sakura is here too? Just what do you want from us? Our leader, our lives, our power and treasure is that all of it?" Raul asks with lowing tone.
"Nothing that much" Inoue replied as she looked back to Raul.
"Nothing? nothing,,, nothing just you came here to claimed lives? Is that all!?" Raul cried as his tears flows once again as he reminisces the good days with Margarette.
"You two or even your leader is no worth in the presence of my master, well, anyway you will buried alive here so shall take my leave, I can't let my master wait for so long" Inoue finishes as she start to leave the room and two mages.
The ceiling of the room is cracking, as the dust and rocks start to falls down, Raul then put the lifeless body of Margarette in the coach as he seated in the other side, he then let the head of Margarette lay on his lap and he start to weep the Blondie hair of Margarette.
"We are just priceless in front of her huh, funny, so this is how we ends partner" Raul chuckled as he felt crazy in defeat as he gritted his teeth.
He remembers the good old days with Margarette, he was totally at loss, even if he tried to fight again Inoue, he knows that he is not really her mach or worthy opponent, if he tries to run, he will meet the same fate of Margarette and tarnish their partnership, he just looked down to his lifeless partner as the whole room they were in collapsed and buried both of them, Inoue look once again to the collapsing room as she stare on it blankly.
"Die with her until the end, truly a forminable and honorable one" Inoue comments as she proceeds her way to the next room and regroup with Yinhua once again.

At the other side Yinhua is walking towards to the hall as she opens the big doors, revealed a three powerful dark mages waiting for her, the well armed and complete set of power force of the dark mages, the three captains, level ten mage Greenie, level nine mage Delfin and the level seven mage Sena, they also brought their whole forces along as they alarmed in the explosion earlier.
“Mate sete gome ne, I hope things got well since the explosion got its big hit” Yinhua casually talk as she face the whole group with confidence.

“My bad, even in younger days, you too are idiot to begin with, so no need to say that to your elders, darling” Yinhua retorting taunts which make Delfin quiet pissed off.
“That’s enough, I hope you won’t disappoint me in our battle, and we will make sure to dispose such lowly life like you and make sure your death will be painless” Greenie said as she walks closer to the battle field and the two follows, she is the smallest among the three, unlike Sena who have a quiet firm figure and stature, and Delfin with a tall height and well develop body and charming allure appearance.

Yinhua strange clothing changes into revealing pink clothes with many peach coloured armour plates and set decorations and inscription, she also wear a helmet with a visor that covers her eyes and her long hair flows down to her back, the tightness of the clothes makes an arousing presence to the audience, especially to Yinhua’s goddess figure that so sizzling hot and burning beauty, Yinhua summons a naginata, as she spins and suck the blunt end of the spear and reveal her carnation pink cape, she has a seducing yet majestic stature.
“Then be my guest, all of you! Do not interrupt our fight!” Greenie said and announce to crowd as she start the spell chants of nature and summons a vine whip to hit Yinhua.
“Well, now we are talking” Yinhua sighs in disappoint as she throws her naginata spinning and shredded all the vines in hit as she summons a dual long blade and rush to Delfin.
“You are courting death, now die!” Delfin said as she spins her scimitar and summons a blade tornado to shred Yinhua.
“Not today, Kazehana poser!” Yinhua blinks as she suddenly gone in their eyes.
“Where is she? Where did she go?” Delfin said as she mesmerized in Yinhua’s sudden disappearance as she look around for her.
“Did she escape, if so, she is a weakling who bites her tail in fear” Sena said as she still keeps charging her electric power blast.
“Drop it!” Yinhua said as she falls from above and sunk her two swords deep in the ground and make the three surprised and shock.
She activate the power of the blade as the pillar of ice and fire arise between her and the three, because of the impact of the summons the three was thrown away by the shocking energy pulse coming from the two swords Yinhua as it glows in red and blue, she then smirks at the disoriented three as she saw the two standing up due to intense pressure and force she display in the down fall.
As for Greenie she has a powerful runic shield that protect her from impact, although she also thrown away by the force but regain her stand and just slightly hurt and impressed in Yinhua’s surprised attack, she never anticipated the measure of power of Yinhua’s current reach, she then return to her calm and calculative nature as she start to find a good chanting spells to subdue and kill Yinhua.
Yinhua dashes to Delfin and start to barrage her some slashes and stikes, burning and chilling blades versus wind scimitar are become intense in each successful block of the two, like they are equal in swordfight, parried and deflect all attacks incoming from each sides, Yinhua slides as she lands a hit in revealing opening of Delfin, her blade struck some metal material in Delfin side.
“Armour huh? Omoshiroi!” Yinhua comment as she the bend her knees and lower her back in slow motion to dodge the sliding side slash of Delfin’s mistral scimitar.
“So you have discover, farewell then!” Delfin said as she move her right arm so fast and start to pierce the Scimitar to Yinhua’s chest in fast speed.
“Just kidding!” Yinhua smirks as her body poof in smoke and leave a dummy with inscription patterns, and she appears at the back of Delfin.
“Don’t Forget about me!” Sena said as she release her electrified power and made a laser-like lightning blast to Yinhua, as to why Yinhua flips her body a little to the side as she evades the blast, smooth and sexy.
“Oh, now a Misaka Mikoto poser now” Yinhua said in excitement as she made a swift slide kick to the back of the knees of Delfin and make the boisterous lady to bend and lose balance in footing, Yinhua kicks her again so hard and ser her flying again.
“Enough of toying around!” Greenie said as she makes a few hand signs and chants a spell, from the ground a wooden branches arise as it about to catches Yinhua.
“Yare, yare” Yinhua sighs as she slashed the branches in incredible speed, the she made a few back flips at the side and change her blades into bow and point it to Sena.
“Showa Time!” Yinhua cheered as she makes a damn bullet hell to Sena’s Direction with her piercing magic wave arrows.
Sena was surprised as she then summon from her purse a magic orb, the orbs emits glistening light that covers Sena , making a field protection in her area and continuously absorb the raining arrows.
“Ten no Yama no ryu ga aku o fuku!” Yinhua cried as she charge her bow in full power and summon a golden dragon wave to Sena.
A wave of golden dragon that are moving in fast pace come from Yinhua’s bow as it start to dash in speed to its target and showing an intimidating roar and consumes anything on its way, the two mages was shock and look to Sena’s sweaty and scared face as her body shivers and cannot move upon the incoming doom.

Greenie summons a group of wooden wall in front of Sena and Delfin dashes with her wind magic spell in speed to carried Sena away and grabbed her to her arms, both the two crashes to the side wall, as the wooden wall of Greenie was erase in shocking power of golden dragon wave, even the walls of the undeground was left destroyed and make a huge hole in every rooms, everything that blocks it’s way was deleted in its existence.
“What the hell!?” Greenie said as she looks to the destroyed wall and rooms and then look to Yinhua.
“Ara, ara, that’s a letdown, well that matters anyway” Yinhua said as she stood again and rest her arms at her side along with her bow and look to the destroyed area.
“Just what exactly a mage are you?” Greenie said in deep astonishment.
“Not a mage, but a martial practioner and a certified Otaku, that's all” Yinhua smiled as she leaves yet a deadly and intimidating presence to the other, as the wind start to take motion in Yinhua’s direction as her hair and clothing linen fluttered.
