“KA, ME, HA, ME, HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!”
He then launched a giant ball of light from his hands. The magic he used to make this ball of light was so great that it scorched the air as it was fast approaching the titan.
Boooooooooooom!
“Kya-!” the girl screamed as she was blown away by the shockwave caused from Lyle’s attack
A deafening sound resounded through the whole forest, cutting through the air.
“Wha-What just happened?! What kind of magic is that?!” the girl asked, bewildered. In what the girl saw next she could not help but have her breath taken. Save for where she lay on the ground and the boy stood the forest beside them had been ravaged by fire. By some miracle they weren’t burned but the girl could see its path of destruction. The mysterious magic had reduced a portion of the forest to a field and the trees and ground around them were incinerated and smoking. Truly fearsome, its path only leaves nothing but burned and destroyed plants and trees. It was so strong that being hit by it means instant-death and without leaving any trace.
However, an unexpected event happened. The titan’s body illuminated for just a moment, and in that moment its skin cause Lyle’s attack to repel.
Lyle guessed that it used Special Magic. Its inherent magic was increasing its defense significantly.
“Impossible,” she thought, “Did that magic did this?! No, impossible! There isn’t any magic that could do such a thing!”
As far as the girl remembers, there is no such magic that can caused so much destruction except for high-level spell. But those spells can only be used by SS-rank up to SSS-rank mages.
He might have been using an artifact that could amplify magic power but she couldn’t be certain about what sort of medium he was using. Regardless, no matter how strong a mage might be, to be able to use such destructive magic in a young age just isn’t possible. Once Lyle felt the girl’s glaring-like stare the boy then turned her way and said,
“Muuuu. Maybe it hasn’t enough power! Then this…”
“Just… Who are you?!-, no, that’s not important right now! Listen, titans has the ability
The reluctant Lyle listened, with quickly changing facial expressions, but in the end he nodded in approval.
“But the lightning-spear you did just now hurt it, you know!” he asked.
“It’s because it’s not purely magic, it has also physical attack on it!”
“I see!” Lyle however, showed no signs of worry and panic. He just acted like he didn’t have a care in the world and looked up at the sky. Now that the smoke cleared up he could now clearly saw the smug look of the titans while looking at them in the distant. As if belittling his magic just now, the titans smirked.
“HAHAHA MAGIC! USELESS! HAHAHA”
*Pikun*
Vein popped on his head as his gaze became fiercer.
“DON’T BE CONCEITED YOU DAMNED OVERGROWNED APES!!! WHAT I DID IS JUST AN IMITATION! IF MY IDOL DID IT, YOU WILL BECOME DUST IN JUST A SECOND!!!” shouting angrily, Lyle stomped down the ground while grinding his back teeth.
Watching him from behind ‘Just what the heck is he saying!’ the girl retorted in her mind.
“I MAYBE JUST A SECOND-RATE BUT FOR YOU OVERGROWNED APES THAT HAVE A BRAIN FOR BUGS, I ALONE IS ENOUGH!!! JUST YOU WAIT I’LL TURN YOU INTO MINCED MEAT WITHIN A SECOND!!!”
‘Honestly!’ the girl retorted silently. Hearing him screaming about things she can’t understand while expressing his anger. Looking again at the titan, the girl almost got cold feet, but she persevered.
All of a sudden Lyle took a deep breath and while exhaling said.
“If magic is really useless against them then I’ll just need to use ‘that’” Lyle calmly said, who seemed to regain his composure.
“That?” the girl curiously asked.
“Ah, I don’t want to use it if it’s not necessary because it really consumes my mana but I think I don’t have a choice here. Based from my mana right now, I can only use it for 1 minute. Hm! I guess for that idiot, who don’t know how great kamekameha attack is, it won’t even last 1 minute!” he said with a calm but confident face.
“Just what the heck are you talking about?”
Still looking at the titans the boy then took a step forward as though he were trying to hide the girl behind him and so as to face off against the titan. Though he was facing was far larger than himself, the girl had the impression that he was neither nervous nor afraid. He was as solid as a rock and he showed no signs of wasted movement. Lyle truly seemed to be relaxed.
“Yo, you damn monster; you can understand what I’m saying, right? Well if you can then let me tell you that if you apologize now maybe I will kill you without suffering, because even if an idiot like you apologize, I won’t still forgive you! Mocking my idol’s signature move is the most unforgivable crime in the world.” Lyle said with a serious voice towards the monsters but the titans completely ignored him.
The girl could only gulp behind him. It was because of how frighteningly serious his gaze was that the girl knew instinctively that he did not mean it as a threat.
Lyle pulled out his katana from one of the two black sheaths dangling in his side.
“Let’s do this Sakura. I will use you for now!” he said while holding the katana.
“…………………………..”
But no one answered.
“Hello? Sakura-san? Hello?”
“……………………………..”
Lyle was perplexed to that silence. ‘Come to think of it. These two was unusually quiet since meeting Sheila. Arere!? Did I do something bad?’ he thought. He was now shedding cold sweat. For him nothing is more frightening than a woman keeping silent.
The narrative has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.
“Hello? Sakura-san? I just want to inform you but I’m really in a pinch right now!”
“………………………… Die you stupid master!”
“----Eh!?”
As Lyle was beginning to shed cold sweat, he suddenly heard a response. But this voice seems cold for some reason. Although Sakura’s voice was usually calm and cold, but this time it’s unusually colder than usual.
Lyle was now nervous, more nervous than normal. The girl watching him was now perplexed as she thought ‘What is he doing this time? Talking to that thin sword? Is he touched in the head? ‘ Or something on those lines. Even the monster titan was also wondering and was just watching him with strange looks.
“Sakura-san! Did I do something you didn’t like? Did I make you mad? You too Yuki, why are you both silent?”
“M-master I-it’s just t-that you k-keep on f-flirting with that g-gryphon yet y-you forgot ab-bout us!”
“Hmph!”
“Wha-!?”
This time, the one who answered him was not Sakura but the shy Yuki.
“N-no, that is not true! I’m not flirting! Sheila and I are just friends, though it’s a little bit different but…..”
“…………………………………….”
Lyle was saying excuses after excuses, but to no avail. There was still no response from the twin adorable foxes.
“S-sakura-san. T-This much is all right, right? H-Hey, we’re in the middle of a fight right now…”
“…………………”
He was ignored. Because there was still no reaction, he soon wanted to cry.
“…Hey, Sakura-san? *sigh* T-then I-if you w-want how about I c-cuddle y-you t-tonight when we sleep.”
“Really…? *cough* because you really insisted then I will help you.”
“M-me too, m-master!”
As Lyle somehow squeezed his voice and uttered a very weird promised, Sakura finally answered him although his face turned red.
‘Haaa, it’s too embarrassing…! What is this!?What did I just promised? I only meant it as a joke, but…. *sigh* oh well, more importantly right now we can now fight!’
“Then let’s do this Sakura!”
“Yes master!”
“Dance
Lyle said in a truly casual and calm way. Then his power erupted. His mana came bursting out like a fountain. Incredible amounts of mana then came gushing out of his body and then enveloped him. The vast amounts of mana, as well as the horrifying quality of it, then went on to his surroundings and started devastating the landscape. The mana he let forth as well as the very pressure of it made even the girl behind him fall to her knees.
“Just… Just what is this mana?!” the girl screamed in her mind. The tremendous amount of pure mana was filling up the entire space they were in. It was an eerie mass of pure power. The air itself became heavier and the girl felt that gravity itself had increased as well. She was overwhelmed just by watching this and felt that her very core was being violated by the mana around her. Even the monster titan have become restless.
What Lyle just used was his
But there is also the second form in which Lyle just used, <2nd form: Clad>. This form can only be used if a sword has a living soul in it, such as Lyle’s twin katana. By injecting enormous mana on it, the wielder can equip the soul living in his sword just like clothes and can also used the soul’s abilities. But unlike the first form, the wielder and the sword’s soul must have unyielding and unwavering bond between them or else it won’t work.
“Uuugh,” the girl could barely stand it. A feeling as though she was going to throw up welled up inside her. The mana was just that sinister and offensive.
“What the hell is this!?” the girl thought, “All this mana would cause any normal mage’s head to burst. Just what is he doing? Is he really human?”
Then the vast amount of mana compressed and clad Lyle’s whole body as if it was covering him until nothing left. All the mana Lyle let out as well as the pressure suddenly vanished leaving the devastated state of the surrounding and a very big crater at the center.
Then the dirt and dust cleared, the girl could see Lyle clearly, who is standing at the very center of the crater but this time he looks different. He had three fox tails as well as fox ears above his head. His black shirt and cloak was replaced by a long black kimono with red linings while holding a long black katana. His clothes were influence by the image he made in his mind while transforming. His appearance right now greatly resembles a certain death god.
‘What!? What the hell is this? Is he really the same guy before? Is he really not human?’ the girl behind Lyle was just at a complete loss for words. Various questions keep popping in her head as she watched Lyle’s new appearance. She was utterly shocked to see him like that so much so that for a time she could not even bring her own self to get up.
However, in the next instant, he completely vanished. Leaving in his wake, a vast chunk of the ground had been carved out leaving a deep groove in the ground. Lyle, however, was nowhere to be seen.
“Prepare yourself, ugly monster! Because this will only end in an instant” Hearing Lyle’s listless voice from above, the girl then looked up on reflex and could see that he had jumped far into the air.
