Heavenly Castle

Aifa's Strength

"I don't like it. I don't like every fight."

When I said that feeling like an ordinary person tangled up in a dangerous person, Aifa's long hair shook.

"Some hands say," Don't be strong. "

"No, I don't have those hands."

Looking back at her thoughtful face, Violet turns to Aifa with a frightened face.

"... what is it, Aifa? I feel compelled sometime. This situation is unfavourable to boulders, even if they go out by force..."

Violet clouded her expression for the first time since she came here, but Aifa stopped the words with one hand up.

"This is my endeavor. I will not bother General Violet. Besides, I don't want to kill each other either. If one of you admits to losing, that's where it ends."

Saying, Aifa's gaze didn't leave me like she sewed it up.

I guess I'll never pull this off.

I looked into my eyes and somehow thought so.

I sigh thin and long and snort.

"... ok. Let's do it."

Acceptance opened everyone's eyes.

"Master Taiki competes in magic!?

"Ooh...! You can finally see some of that power......!

Aifa and Violet stare at this one with a hard look at Ayla, Yuri and Dizen, who are stunned.

Looking directly at the two, I raised my index finger.

"However, I will ask you to fight this vanguard first. If you win, I'll take it seriously."

Saying so, Aifa nods quietly.

"... the top magician in this country. Just what I want."

I shook my head slightly to the left and right of Aifa, who was motivated.

"No, he's my best friend named A1."

Outside, we all travel to the hot water pool in the north. If you have a large pool, there are few obstacles, and even if flames are used, nothing burns around you.

Hot water pools stretching across horizontal staircases each have a wide aisle at the border of the steps and steps. Aifa and A1 lined up in the middle of that aisle.

We're looking at it from the top. Violet looked at this one with a frown root, alert to the other robots standing around her.

"... if you're thinking of us with the Imperial Mages out there, I have to say that's a sweet idea. The Golem will certainly be comparable to a thousand soldiers in the war. But if you're dealing with a leading magician, it's not the story. A golem of unparalleled strength in flatlands and sieges is also incompatible with a magician with powerful means of attack while moving quickly."

Violet's commentary shows Eira a rugged face.

"I know a hundred things about that, Master Taiki, the Great Mage mentor. If you think of Taiki's golem the same way as the golems around it, you're gonna regret it, aren't you?

Violet stared hatefully at Ella. To such an interaction between the two, Yuri and Dizen secretly talk in fright.

"You feel some tingling air."

"And let's keep it quiet. Because we are irrelevant… I am more concerned about the battle between the imperial court magician and Lord Tyke's golem"

And, no, I opened my mouth with one cough as the wild horse spoke.

"Well, then I think it's time to start, is your standing okay there? I think it would be advantageous to stay further away."

A1 and Aifa were facing each other at a distance of about three meters. That's why I suggested it to Aifa, who can attack at a distance, but denies it without changing his expression.

"No problem."

Apparently, it's good as it is. Saying any more poorly is going to hurt my self-esteem, and I can't help it.

At the very least, I just hope Aifa doesn't get killed instantly.

With that in mind, I put one hand up and down.

"So... here we go!

The moment I gave the signal, Aifa moved quickly. An unexpected exclamation leaks as he kicks the ground and rises high in the sky.

"Oh... you're flying too far"

I was quite surprised inside, though I tried not to put it on my expression to Aifa, who rose to the height that even a bar jump would not be able to jump this high.

But Dizen and Yuri weren't even that far, apparently.

"Oh, when are you going to fly magic..."

"The magic activation was natural, wasn't it? They use magic to breathe."

Ask and convince the two of you of that sentiment. Wasn't it just a jump after all? You're a magician.

"Tall but dull golems crush from the sky. It's a stone, right?

That's what Violet, the winning face, said.

By contrast, I speak simple questions.

"I don't understand that it's advantageous because it's empty..."

When asked the question, Violet pointed forward with a frightened face.

"Don't you see? So I didn't know you would name a great title such as the Archmage... the Golem can't fly in the sky. Common sense, isn't it?

"... uh, don't you remember how Mr. Violet got to this country?

When asked back like that, Violet solidified for plenty of a second or two.

And face Aifa with momentum.

"Aifa! That golem will fly through the sky!

To such further advice, Aifa answered small after finishing some chant while floating in the sky.

"I know."

The moment Aifa squeals like that, a small sphere of flame rises in both hands.

A dark purple flame swayed as it scattered the firepowder.

In return for confirming A1 looking up, Aifa waves her arms down. The two flames flew in leaving short, purple bands and drew different orbits towards A1.

The spheres of flame flying at arrow-like speeds burst before they hit A1 and spread into finer flame fragments.

A flame fragment that instantly became dozens approached A1, but A1 did not move.

In the next moment, when the upper body of A1 seemed slightly sumptuous, each fragment of the flame becomes a finer firepowder and scatters.

A1 slowly began to rise in the sky as the firepowder that fell on the water sounded a small, creeping explosion in a row.

A huge shadow of A1 is reflected in the magnitude of water vapor.

"Phew."

With a sharp, exhaling voice, Aifa quickly moved through the air. Then, flying like an arc, Aifa finishes some chant and unfolds her next sorcery.

Moving his mouth small and moggy, the water vapor that was covering and hiding the perimeter of A1 instantly clotted and the water in the pool instantly turned into a giant ice column.

A dozen ice columns of vicious shape appear as if they were fangs of a carnivore, piercing A1.

But all its ice columns were scattered into innumerable fragments, and Aifa, who saw it, raised one frown.

After a beat of free time, he shakes off the still darkened bamboo, and A1 pops out. To A1, where previous movements approach Aifa floating in the sky at a lying speed, Aifa emits flames and ice magic as she tongues and moves left and right with a zigzag.

A1 following as if traced against Aifa, who unfolds countless sorceries while fleeing in a quick move. The fear is that we are destroying all sorcery with both arms.

The shock that transmits the atmosphere and echoes in the body rings continuously, flames and ice flashly bounce off and disappear. It's as if it's a fireworks show in the sky.

"Oh, that's beautiful"

Share your thoughts with laughter and look back at Eira.

Then Violet and Dizen were looking at me as well as Eira. Only Yuri laughs and says, "That's true," but the other three have their eyes turned to this one like they see incredible things.

After all, I guess the battle of A1 has destroyed the common sense of the Golem.

Well, it's a gift from an angel, so I'm assuming.

Conversely, I think that Aifa, who is able to fight that mythical weapon even for a short time, is abnormal.

And while I was thinking about it, Aifa was caught up with A1 and snagged down into the hot water pool in a way that was like a fly tap.

"Until then! A1 stop!

A1 stood upright on the sky when I panicked and stopped moving as I looked down at Aifa floating in the pool.

It was nature and cold sweat flowing from his forehead to Aifa, who floated on the surface without even moving a pickle.
