Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

After Lucia and Teresa naturally beat the braves, the battle between Cortex vs Eve, Syranui and Dahlia was to take place. Winning this mock fight would mean fighting either Lucia or Teresa, but the Eves watching the first two battles seemed to have a desperate look on their face.

Especially if he fought Lucia, he seemed to want to give up the win to her without a mock fight or anything, as a close proximity would result in reactive armor exploding and wood dust. But in that case, Lucia's victory would essentially be decided, so I couldn't seem to pull it off later, though.

Well, aside from that. They had more to think about than anything. It is precisely the search for ways to deal with the Cortex that we are about to fight now. Cortex is a substantial superior compatibility, although there is no such thing as spiritual magic or irregularity as Theresa. He wasn't a decent match to fight and win.

But the three of them hadn't given up winning. Eve, well, anyway, for Silanui and Daria, who want Atlas ownership at all costs, silencing his sister, Cortex, was an inevitable path.

They therefore consulted carefully. What can I do to defeat Cortex......

"Well, let's just say it's time to start"

Before what was also to be described as an absolute strong man, the three challengers swallowed gokuri and breath, then slowly, but surely, shook their heads vertically.

See how it goes, Atlas makes the decree.

"Guys, don't be impotent, okay? Well, I'll intervene as soon as I decide it sucks, but I want it gibbered up as soon as I think it's the limit. Now, let the game begin!

And the simulated battle lid was cut and dropped.

The Command Tower of the three challengers surprisingly (?) Seems to have been the youngest Eve.

"Maybe we'll do as we're told!

"" Roger!

Handless Eve in the rear, Silanui with a simulated knife and Daria with a stick accelerate. Their winning condition is that the weapon touches Cortex's body. On the contrary, the defeat condition is to admit defeat. Looks like he was given a hand around here.

The two waved their weapons down to Cortex, which had not moved a single step from the spot, as they packed their distance from Cortex all at once at a rate that rushed through 100m in five seconds.

"" Huh!

Bun......

But should I take it for granted --,

Gun!!

--The two attacks are played by the junctional magic that appeared on the surface of Cortex's body.

"... the speed of movement, the intensity of the blow, the breathtaking attack ~... you both have something quite eye-catching ~? But you can't beat me to that extent ~?

to such Cortex words--,

"" I know!

—— Syranui and Dahlia, who answer and once away, take a distance. Having seen the behavior of those two, Cortex tries to use it to launch a ranged attack, floating light magic for two as a matter of course.

Her magic is tracking magic. It's a missile-like light magic that chases subjects everywhere. Originally it was the magic Lucia used, but she also liked Cortex, and she decided to use it, too.

And it was right after Cortex unleashed the light magic. I thought Silanui and Dahlia posed as if to intercept that light magic--,

Bun......

--The two suddenly moved to the front of Cortex and launched the attack on Cortex, which was supposed to intercept the magic of Hongumi.

Bum!

Gun!!

But again, their attacks are held back by Cortex's junctional magic. Such cortex junctional magic is an application of autospelling developed by her for Lucia. It automatically prevents any attack and never reaches Cortex. It was precisely defensive magic that could be described as an absolute barrier.

"That was a hiatus ~. I didn't expect you both to use metastatic magic at the same time ~. Is this feeling, Eve ~?

That said, Cortex turns his gaze toward Eve, who was not moving in any way from the starting point.

Such a Cortex look was somehow to freeze right after this. Cortex should have been in an absolute vantage point.

Because Eve, who was ahead of her gaze --,

"………"

Because I had the evil grin of someone I'd never normally shown. At that time, the paraphonic voice in her gaze must have said: As planned.

Bum......

Bang!!

Shortly after Silanui and Dahlia disappear again, two flashes of light explode at the same time with Cortex's forehead. The Cortex light magic that was tracking Syranui and Dahlia hit herself. That, too, penetrated the automatic barrier she was deploying.

There was a reason for that. Even though it is an automatic barrier, it does not interfere with its own recovery and support magic, so only its own magic was set to pass. There's no way you can hit the magic you unleashed yourself... Such a chronic mind seems to have allowed Cortex to take a bullet. Or perhaps the very fact that we did not fight with all our might can be said to be the cause in the first place.

Beep!!

"Winner, Eve, Silanui, Dahlia!

"Hey..."

"Cortex? I don't think you're gonna say that hitting your magic doesn't hit the defeat condition, or something like your sister?

"Oh, no... Mmm-hmm... I can't believe you're attacking me like that ~..."

Three opponents share the joy of being able to win the battle and show their laughter. Towards them like that, Cortex seemed to have what a complicated look.

It seemed Eve was ahead of Cortex's gaze like that. A grin like the schemer she showed during the game. That's what kept Cortex out of his brain. Yes, for better or worse......
