The Elemental Sword Demon King
Episode 20: Starting the Fight
Kaizo stared at his left hand, which was put into a leather glove.
(Maybe, in my subconscious, I think about it. Therefore, I cannot connect the path with the new spirit.)
He heard an explosion. And it was loud enough that it made the entire nearby forest resound for quite a while.
"W-what's up with that?!"
After raising her head, Victoria tightly grasped the leather whip used to train the animal with shaky shoulders.
"No, I mean, um, my combat power is lacking."
"What do you mean! I rely on your combat power!" Kaizo yells at Victoria. He irritated Victoria and attacked her.
"Ouch! Wait, stop!"
An unforgiving whip storm descends on the fleeing Kaizo.
"What are you doing, Victoria Blade?" From the other side of the dark tree forest, that voice sounded.
Victoria stopped her whip and with a frown turned. The ones who appeared were Aura and the servant Lesley.
"You're late, Aura."
"Ah, a dressed woman takes time." Aura proudly combed her luxurious platinum blonde hair.
"What, why is Lesley here?"
"Of course, as a support miss."
After Kaizo heard that, Lesley took out a flag, out of nowhere and started swinging it.
"By the way, why did you whip Kirigaya Kaizo?" Aura put her index finger on her chin and frowned doubtfully.
Before Victoria replied, Lesley interrupted, "Miss, that's something rude to listen to."
"What do you mean?"
"It was a slightly unusual form of love. In a unique way, it's a perverted game."
"Ehh! Really, you two!?"
"Bu-not that! W-what are you saying, you stupid waitress!" Victoria's face turned crimson as she denied it. Nonchalantly, he wanted the whip that swung at him to stop, because it was painful.
(Why I was tired before the duel.)
Kaizo began to seriously think about the absurdity of his life at that moment.
"Your side seems to be all present, Crow class." A cold voice descended from the upper right.
The four of them looked up together. There, on top of the collapsed theater wall was a dashing female knight figure with her blue hair fluttering in the breeze.
Beside him, two knights, also wearing the same silver armor, stood up. He heard their name from Victoria. The short haired one is Rin, and braided is Misha.
"Eve Veilmist, how long have you been here!"
"By the way, you wouldn't happen to be waiting for an opportunity to appear at such a cool moment, would you?"
"What's? N-there's nothing like that! I just got there!"
After Kaizo looked at her with half-open eyes, Eve was frankly distracted and finally nearly fell down. Somehow, it was a rather pitiful look for a Knight leader.
Eve glared sharply at Kaizo and the others, and unsheathed her sword from her waist, "Let's go, Crow class. Let's finish this duel right now."
At that moment, the illumination of the huge flame illuminated the theater stage. Illuminated by the illumination was a huge eagle spreading its huge wings and appearing on a red night.
"Let me introduce you, Kirigaya Kaizo. This is my contracted spirit. Demon wind spirit, Aimorphy!"
With a howl like the wind, the huge Eagle was wrapped in a strong wind, swooping down.
****
At the point of attack at the place earlier, the demonic wind spirit shot over and swooped down with its target to the ground, where all four were.
A deafening rumbling sound, the stone paving detached, and a large amount of earth and sand swirled. A strong wind, generated from the force of the explosion, hit Kaizo and his body was easily blown away.
Kaizo is thrown into the wall. With that bone-shattering impact, he stopped breathing for a moment. Even if one received a spirit attack of pure form, the physical body could not be injured. However, the physical damage from collisions and debris fragments is different.
Small stones flying in the storm cut through Kaizo's entire body. Covering his forehead with both hands, Kaizo clicked his tongue, "Excellent destructive power! If I take a direct hit, I'll pass out."
That demonic wind spirit, Aimorphy. Comparing just the power of destruction, it might even exceed Victoria's Salamander.
(Right, where's Victoria?)
Kaizo stood up and observed his surroundings, his two allies in their respective positions. Victoria provides immediate protection from medium distances. The aura provided rear support with long-range attacks.
Lesley was waving a flag outside the theater where she fled. The wind that was blowing stopped. At that interval, Kaizo started running towards him.
"Yet, Kaizo!"
At the same time Victoria shouted, the roar of the demonic wind spirit resounded. From the huge empty hole in the ground, a huge demon bird flapped its wings.
"What are you doing, quickly release your elemental aerom!"
"Hn, even if you say that...."
At that moment, a group of wind that held back an enormous mass gouged out the earth while rushing over. Paving stones came tearing in a straight line. Kaizo quickly jumped to the side.
While rolling around on the ground, he quickly recited the spirit language summoning in his mouth. The spirit seal faintly shone, but as before, the path with the contracted spirit was not connected.
(Not good, huh!?)
Just as he was about to give up, a shining short sword was built into his palm. It was an unreliable elemental aero, but it was better than nothing.
"Have you just escaped? Kirigaya Kaizo, I have misjudged you!" Eve said disappointedly, with her twintail hair swaying, descending to the ground.
"ah! I just have to fight, right!"
Kaizo prepares a short sword and attacks Eve. The first to attack win is the winner. If he defeated the elementalist first, then the contracted spirit summoned would disappear.
"Kaizo, behind you!"
Victoria's voice came from behind her, Kaizo jumped straight to the side. The wings of the demon wind spirit slashed at where Kaizo was right now.
"What speed is that?!"
Among the five great spirits, who boasted as the fastest was the wind attribute spirit. And Eve was in complete control of one of them. The demon wind spirit, danced in the night sky, swerved, and swooped down.
Kaizo jumped again. The demon wind spirit that hit the ground blew up a large amount of land and sand. It then immediately turned into countless blades of wind and cut off Kaizo's arm.
"Short!"
An excruciating pain ran through his right arm. Actually, it did not mean that his arm was cut off, but the pain was violently jolting his consciousness.
(Well, I never thought it would turn into a blade of wind with that time.) Kaizo was stunned in his mind. Eve's competency as an elementalist was something substantial.
"Kaizo, I'll protect you!"
At the same time as his voice, a blazing flame lit up the night sky in red. Victoria uses Salamander's elemental aero, the Whip of Fire. The flame slash cut through all the blades of wind that attacked within the straight arc of its target.
"I won't let you disturb the leader!" The braided knight of hair, Misha, attacks Victoria.
The elemental aero in his hand was a transparent ice sword, it seemed like he was also an ice elementalist like Aura. Nonetheless, his spirit rank was simply no match for Aura's Fenrir.
It seemed like he had the competence to release his contracted spirit into the elemental aero, but he had yet to make it his own.
He wasn't good enough to be a worthy adversary for Victoria, Kaizo concluded so and adjusted his direction to Eve, who was in front of him.
At that moment, along with the loud explosive sound, the ground in front of him was completely gouged out.
*ᚦ ᚨ ᚱ ᚲ ᚹᚺ ᚾ ᛁ ᛃ ᛇ ᛈ *
"Huh, try taking my elemental aeroku, Rock Breaker!" The short-haired knight, Rin, shouted in an excited tone.
