Arisugawa, pushed into a corner, comes up with a secret plan.
Looking up, I saw Philiana (F) sweating and grimacing in pain. If I let go, I might get caught in the ground and break my leg.
“Hiro, I’ll support her here, so please go with Karubene.”
Pauline (Female) said, as if reading my mind. I really didn’t want to take such a gamble, but I couldn’t help it. I’ll leave it to her this time.
“Sorry, Pauline. Please take care of Philiana.”
I let go of Philiana’s leg and escaped through a gap in the wall. The battle was still raging outside.
“Ah, Arisugawa, are you okay? What happened to Philiana?”
I relayed the situation inside to Sharin, who rushed over.
“I see, but unfortunately, despite our numbers, we can’t get involved. We’re completely on the opponent’s pace.”
Veronica (F) lunged at the enemy ahead, her breath ragged. For a moment, I thought I saw smoke, then a gust of wind struck, making me flinch. But she continued her attacks with brute force, surely thinking that landing even one blow would mean victory. In reality, the twin’s magic is strong, but they are just girls.
“Where are you going? This way!”
Before I knew it, another one had appeared nearby. With an explosion, the ground burst, and fragments of rock attacked Veronica (F).
“Damn you, you bastard!”
I managed to dodge the fragments by shooting fireballs at them. Using that opening, I tried to sneak up from behind Nina (F), who had cast Wind Magic. However, she sensed me and knocked me back, along with the ground. Sharin groaned nearby, looking frustrated.
“Ugh, can they use two attributes? And it looks like they can also use Teleportation Magic. They keep changing positions and attacking. I can’t predict what kind of techniques they’ll use.”
“About that, could you look at the staffs they’re holding? I think the one who used Wind Magic was holding the staff in her right hand.”
Hearing that, Sharin’s eyes widened slightly.
“Ah, I see. You’re right. I was too focused on their appearances and got caught up in the moment, so I didn’t notice.”
It’s likely that the one in her right hand controls the wind attribute, and the one in her left controls the earth attribute. Elana turned around at my words.
“It was simple. Now that we know, we’ll counterattack. I’ll tie down the earth attribute user, and Nina (F) and Cecilia (F) will handle the wind.”
The two replied with a single word and headed towards the enemy. Elana (F) attacked from a distance with fireballs to keep the earth attribute user occupied.
“You finally noticed? Too late. What hero? You’re just a bunch of morons!”
The wind pushed Nina (F) back as she headed towards them. However, she weaved and dodged it expertly. Meanwhile, Cecilia (F) rushed forward.
“What? You think you’ve won? Don’t underestimate us!”
Delia (Female), holding the staff in her right hand, swung her arm. Instantly, Nina’s huge body was lifted by a tornado and disappeared from sight.
“You’re next to disappear!”
Cecilia (F) was also pushed away by the gale, unable to dodge, and was blown away.
