Sword!

Leone puts her sword in front of her body and stretches the blade long and thick.

We took the area to completely cover ourselves, and made it a shield to protect us, including the plums.

Defensive use of miracles (gifts).

The bullets of light shoot at the blade in succession, but they also drop their hips and stretch to endure the impact. It's not too much to bear yet.

Just enduring it like this will buy the Rafinians time to come back.

This reversal is by no means a bad situation - that's what Leone judges.

Has that intention been conveyed to the other side?

"Are you going to protect yourself and buy me some time? -? Then I'll tell you that it's useless!"

The voice was heard from quite a distance.

With the sword as a giant shield, Ian's figure also became harder to see from Leone.

They stopped their hands and came all the way from the blind spot.

"--! But if it's a close-quarter battle--!"

It's not like that!

The moment Ian said he was proud of his victory, Leone's vision instantly switched.

From the silver world settlement to the dark space of nothingness.

This is...

"... a different space!?"

Leone's black sword magic artifact also has the power of a miracle (gift) that creates a different space. That's why I'm used to it. I was able to swallow the situation immediately.

However, there is one difference with the different spaces that Leone usually manipulates with miracles (gifts).

Sparkling yellow-green light particles drift through the pitch-dark space.

"Ah...!?"

I recognize it. And I recognize it, but my spine is cold.

This particle has the effect of neutralizing the magic weapon (artifact).

Previously, Leone also experienced the attack on Munte, a former envoy of Special Envoy Theodore.

This really meant that the Magic Artifact would no longer work at all.

This great sword of Leone turned into a mere sword without any insinuation.

"What the hell is this...!?"

Besides, Pram and Rouin, who were trying to give first aid, were also involved.

Now, when Rafinia returns, she won't be able to find the plum and treat it right away.

"It's the power of the Heavenly Man (Highlander)...!" In this, the power of our magic weapon (artifact) will be sealed and you won't be able to use it! "

"W-what...!? Are you okay?!"

"I don't know...!"

It's not good. It's a really bad situation.

I had to defeat Ian without relying on the power of the Magic Mark Weapon (Artifact), and I was in a situation where neither Plum nor Rouin could be saved.

If Ian knew he was going to use this, he should have taken it all out with his own strength without thinking about defense or buying time - but it was too late to regret it.

"But I won't give up!" This is how it works...! "

Leone held her sword and faced Ian.

When a miracle (gift) is disabled, the sword responds much heavier than usual.

But I have to shake. Then shake.

If the opponent was a Magic Stone Beast, any physical attacks that did not pass the power of the Magic Stone Weapon (Artifact) would not work, but Ian was not a Magic Stone Beast.

If Leone gives up here, the fate of Plumb and Rouin will be lost, as well as her own.

I won't let that happen. And Leone herself had a reason why it couldn't end like this.

You will defeat your brother Leon, who betrayed his country, and return the stigma that the Orphans were to bear. That's why I've gotten rigorous training. We cannot end without fulfilling our purpose.

And if you endure it, maybe Inglis will come to the rescue, aware of the existence of this alien space. All you have to do is believe in it and fight it!

Yeah, yeah!

With Leone's slashing, Ian flies away.

If this was normal, I would immediately stretch out my blade and chase after it, but it was impossible. The pursuer must keep his distance with his own feet.

Leone rushes out to do so, but Ian moves to hold his nose immediately.

"It's embarrassing--you 're helpless in this [Demon Seal Cage]...!" Same attack as before! Can you accept this?! "

Ian sticks out his right hand and releases the same light bullet from his palm.

"--Oh!"

As before, Leone did not intercept the bullet with the slashing of the sword.

Flip over and avoid the light bullet trajectory. As close as possible to reduce the gap afterwards.

Now the positional relationship with the previous one has changed, and there is no plum or rouin behind Leone, so it is okay to avoid it.

In the same way as before, it was obvious that the power of the magic mark weapon (artifact) was sealed off.

After turning over and dodging the bullet, a new bullet was aimed at Leone, but the bullet also moved to the left and right to dodge. Move around without stopping, being careful not to let the stray bullets face the plumes.

"I see--It looks like it's getting hot, you're calm...!"

Calmly and broadly look at the situation and execute with the best hands on the spot.

"That's what Leone needs," Inglés said, remembering the other day.

Inglise trains herself every day without a day's rest, so Leone sometimes trains with her - as she was told at one point.

When you're at a disadvantage, you seem to be trying too hard not to lose.

It's fine to be patient, but on the contrary, it's possible to narrow your horizons.

If that's what a master as skilled as Inglise would say, then so be it.

In the beginning, I was still driven by the urge to grit my teeth and intercept the light bullet.

Since Inglise's words crossed my mind, I could reconsider and choose to dodge them.

Ian gave Leone a tongue thump as she ran around and dodged the light bullet.

"Are you going to run away and wait for the help of your people...?"

Nicely, and Ian's palm muzzle stopped him from following Leone.

And then--I turned toward Plum and Rouin, who couldn't move.
