"As expected, you are just a foolish person with a childish sense of justice."
Runa said it with her usual attitude and tone, but for Arata that was nothing but an insult. Couldn't understand what she means, Arata keep staring at his enemy with his eyes full of bloodlust. Until he realized that he can't move his hands any longer.
(What?)
Surprised, he looked at his hands that was wrapped with flying sand. "This is!" he thought because he has seen it once. It was none other than iron sand Runa manipulate. Next, she looked at her feets, it's already wrapped and shackled by the sand that was compressed using her newly gained skill
"How?" Arata briefly asked.
"Do you really think all the black thing that surged from you are just a shadow?"
"Then.."
"Yep, some of them are iron sand I manipulate, if it's you from back then maybe you'll notice it.... but it seemed like your emotion make your eyes cloudy that all you could think of was beating out of me."
"Cloudy? Aren't you the one who have cloudy eyes. Why are you working for devil race despite being a human?"
"Here it comes, what a pain."
When Arata interpreted things like this, it was useless to talk to him. So Runa sighed and walk past him.
"Where are you going? We're not done yet."
"Shut up. If you meet Shizuku with that condition, she'll be sad."
"Hah? What are you saying!?"
"There's no way that kindhearted girl won't be sad when she realized her childhood friend's controlled by a strange girl."
"Ha? Controlled what are you sa-..."
Runa hit the back of Arata neck to make him unconscious. "Annoying," she thought inside her head, she feels like every time she saw Arata acting childish, she might attack him without holding back. And also, someone more powerful are smiling before her right now.
"You intend to fight me?"
"Well yeah, seems like you held the remote of the boy over there."
"Oh, you mean this?"
After she said that, she showed something on her right hand palm. It was a deep purple round ore, and the ore omitted a dark aura non-stop.
"I got this from an acquaintance of mine... She was a necromancer but, even I was surprised when she showed that she had this kind of ability."
Necromancer was a rare class, it appeared once in a hundred years. They have the ability to utilize magic involving the dead and soul. Runa once read a book about Necromancy in the royal library, but there wasn't any info about magic called Bind Soul which allows the user to use the memories and thought pattern while keeping the soul away from the body. The book only mentioned Death magic, Life Drain, and Resurrection.
Death magic are a magic that can utilize powerful spells which can cause any living thing to die, either instantly or eventually. Life drain are a magic to absorb others life-force and convert it in a lot of way such as magic, stamina, and they can even use it to heal the user. Lastly the Resurrection are the most annoying magic, with this magic the user can create a massive fighting force while the user can hide somewhere while controlling the dead. All of them are high-ranked magic inside the magic record.
That's why Runa was at lost of what to do. But if a remote to control Arata's exist, it'll be better to take it from the like of the girl before her.
"Then, I'll be taking that from you." Runa briefly said that with a straight face.
"I am sorry Haruna-sama, I cannot allow you to do that."
"Save your energy to talk, because the moment you opened your eyes next, you'll be inside the interrogation room."
"Fufufu, you sure say something interesting Haruna-sama."
After receiving her word, Runa didn't talk anymore. Instead, she activated her Highspeed movement and dashed toward the green-haired girl. She manipulates the iron sand to create an Iron sand Sword. She swung it diagonally few times but the girl splendidly dodged it all. After dodging, the girl jumped to where Arata are.
"I am sorry Haruna-sama. But I cannot let myself to get captured yet." she paused a moment, and she smirked. "And it's almost time for the guest to come."
"Guest?"
As she said that, Runa can hear a stepping. She looked over the entrance door and looked at her surrounding. The surrounding are completely set up to made Runa looked like the bad one there.
(This is bad.)
Runa thought in her mind while looking around. With her best, she tried to think of a way to avoid the worst scenario but still it was too late. Because the entrance door are already opened wide. A girl with her hair done in ponytail are over there and due to the fatigue she bowed her head while both of her hand supporting her body by touching her knees while panting, she ran all the way from the castle to the church that was pretty far.
"Shizuku."
