Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

With Cortex's transfer props, a member of Waltz and Lucia's battle force quickly retreats from the scene. The same goes for Cortex himself. Strellas, cherries, and porcupines on the ground have also been evacuated, and those in the Operations headquarters outside the town have quickly begun evacuating to safety. There are still a small number of Ekuleans in the town of Aquilegia, but the Allied side is not so friendly as to risk their lives worrying about them with the possibility of being revived in the "Temple"... Those who did not heed the call to surrender have decided to abandon it.

And inside a large wall in the center of town. The battle between Altair and Waltz Lucia Combi, the black source of gravity there, has begun.

Waltz, who had previously unfolded a gravity barrier to protect his people from the ultra-gravity Altair unleashed, calls out to his younger sister next door.

"Don't hesitate to go." I'll hold off the attack from Altair, so Lucia keeps on attacking. "

Yeah!

The moment Lucia shook her head vertically at Waltz's inquiry, the surroundings were wrapped in flashes of light. Lucia, who was struggling with magic in the field, revealed the "artificial sun" of automatic magic (auto-spelling) that was unfolding to store magic outside her body. As a result, not only Altair, but also the temperature, pressure, and light intensity around the waltz and Lucia increase rapidly, and the environment surrounding the waltz and Lucia vaporizes in an instant.

With Lucia's magic alone, the garden in Altair's palace disappeared. On the contrary, the town of Aquilegia itself melts and burns with heat. The temperatures of the Endersia Desert, which surrounds Aquilegia, also rise by more than 20 degrees, steaming the sandworms hiding in the ground. That was the result of Lucia's lack of magic.

Let's start with one, shall we?

"Wait... wait a minute, Lucia?!" This is not Al○○ (pea) Le's attack, but your magic?! "

"Huh? Yeah. I haven't used magic at all lately, so I've accumulated so much." I don't know how much longer there was left..... "

"Ah, yes... (If I don't let Lucia shoot magic regularly, this world will be destroyed... I wonder how many of them there are?" This.....) "

Waltz was relieved with a hint of anxiety.... I'm really glad Lucia's consciousness wasn't taken over by Altair.

But it doesn't seem to work for Alto-chan.

"... looks like it."

In an artificial sun that emits enough energy to burn down its surroundings, Altair stood there like a black spot in the sun. Even though the surroundings were surrounded by dazzling light, she could not peek inside the black space where she was wrapped, and the situation was unknown. However, since we don't see the change that afflicts the silhouette, it probably won't be a problem.

If that's the case!

With that, Lucia began to let the artificial sun pass her magic. And the size of the sun itself was gradually reduced. However, I didn't just reduce the size. I started to compress it.

As a result, both the pressure and the temperature increase rapidly. Without the gravity barrier of the waltz, the bodies of Waltz and Lucia would have plasmaized and disappeared from this world by now.

Still, there was no change in Altair. I couldn't get to know her face like a shadow, but she probably had a cool expression on her face... That was Waltz's prediction.

"(Even so, why can't there be a decent attack coming from the other side?)"

So far, Altair has not made a clear attack on the Waltzes. The only exception was the variation of the gravitational field caused by the movement of the body. No further action has been taken so far.

That's why Cortex and Strella were able to retreat to the safety zone. If you say that attacks are constantly coming, there's no way we can discuss the means to escape.

"What do you really want to do..."

Waltz leans his head in front of Altair, who was just under constant attack from Lucia, without attacking him in particular.

In the meantime, Altair changes.

* Giggle *...!

Altair, who looked like a human shadow, returned to the shape of a sphere.
