Instantly a dazzling light enveloped her body and circled her body forming a new figure. Then Anko opened her eyes, now she seemed to be flooded with divine power.
With Anko fiercely resisting the monster's attack by parrying it, this time her fighting style was different.
She did not hesitate to point her sword at the monster that had now been blown away because of her parry.
"Get ready, Orc monster! This time I will tear you apart!" Anko exclaimed with a serious cold gaze.
The sword that was held which was just an ordinary iron sword now seemed to be a little slim in shape and had a hilt with a cherry blossom motif then, her clothes grew heavy, silvery white like steel.
Yes! Anko this time became a sword knight in that world.
This time valiantly, he swung the sword with the hilt in the shape of a cherry blossom and slashed at the orc's head. Anko hit it with just one slash as the wind around her signaled her strong aura that Syifa who was lying there felt it too.
Syifa who had closed her eyes slowly opened her eyes with her slanted eyes focused on Anko.
Inwardly Syifa said as she looked at Anko with a surprised expression, "That… ah~ I didn't think she had such a powerful ability!"
....
Anko over there hasn't found the right move to awaken her abilities, so she can only swing her sword until it slashes down the orc's body!! As soon as the hidden ability within him awakens, he becomes brutal.
The chewy orc meat he immediately sliced into thin slices like she was going to stir fry food in a frying pan. Anko deftly cleaned up all the remaining orcs.
And the fight just ended.
Anko's cold gaze still looked terrifying in the eyes of the other races in this world.
She didn't realize that his life would soon change from here. Little did he know, an orc was left outside the building trying to report to those he thought were her masters.
Yes!! Soon the king of destruction will rise.
****
Finally victory was in Anko's hands but, there...
Even though Anko had turned into a strong person, Anko immediately ran to Syifa who was lying there weakly...
"Syifaaa!!" she shouted with a very worried face, her eyes filled with tears and her cheeks almost filled with tears because he saw his friend's crushed body.
"Sorry Syifa, if I bother you..."
"Sorry, I burdened you..."
"Sorry, I'm just being a nuisance to you. Open your eyes Syifa, I don't want to lose you."
"Isn't there a way to help you?"
"Syifaaa-"
Anko's nagging disturbs Syifa from sleeping by enduring the pain.
"Shut up Anko, you're so noisy!" she cried in her lazy tone, "And don't apologize anymore. It's also all my fault for taking you around the world without any preparation." Syifa said it as clearly as possible even though her tone was very low.
"Syifaaaa..." Those words made Anko lose her words again. Tears suddenly dripped from her eyes, she couldn't hold back her sadness. She realized that she was not a strong woman who could withstand all this.
She was sobbing but she was still thinking of ways to help her friend. She was sure, there had to be a way… there was no way Anko would just let him die, "Syifa, isn't there a way to heal you?"
Syifa shook her head slowly at Anko signifying her incompetence, non-existence, and inability to be healed.
Anko couldn't bear to see her friend's broken body, she wanted to hug her slowly. She couldn't wipe away her tears, and kept thinking, "Oh is this what new life is? Another world I never knew… and suddenly my partner just died.
"Stupid! Why are you crying even more! Calm yourself!" Syifa exclaimed in a low voice as she closed her eyes showing her peaceful face, "You should have just run..."
"No! I don't want to leave you!" Anko exclaimed seriously, "Or should we just run and find a place to hide..." Anko had never thought of that before, why did she think of it now? But, it's useless to run later will be found out too.
"You don't want to leave me, maybe if I were in your position, I would do the same as you. But even if I'm not in that position, I don't want to run!" exclaimed Syifa, continuing her words with a soft smile, "Somehow for me running from the enemy's pursuit is the same as running from reality so I have to face it. Well~ it's my fault because I confidently challenged myself to the front line without thinking of any way."
"...." Anko was speechless, she was still tense as she thought about the situation earlier. Now they both felt they could breathe for a moment.
Now that Anko noticed a change in herself....
Anko who had calmed down began to ask Syifa who was not talking much anymore beside her, "Oh, yes, Syifa... just now, I felt my body being flowed by power, and the power that flows is still felt to this day."
"Ehehehe, you managed to awaken your abilities! Congratulations," said Syifa, who congratulated Anko for discovering something new.
"...."
"Is this my ability?" muttered Anko who asked doubtfully.
"It's a metal element type..."
Anko said thus, 'Yes, that's right!! I have that element, metallic and silvery white colors radiate from within me.'
"Come on, you're supposed to be the possessor of steel-willed ability, can't you just see me like this you cry like that. You have to be strong! Wipe your tears!" Syifa instead encouraged Anko, who was sad because she couldn't bear to see her slumped.
No matter how strong a person is when he sees someone close to him dying, her tears will surely fall too.
"It's useless even if I have strong abilities, it's useless if I can't help you...."
Anko said based on the facts, either she should be proud of having such strong and good abilities as a real sword knight or she should be sad to see her friend who was seriously injured.
She thought it would be better if he also could heal others.
"...."
She was still contemplating something, how to help her friend?
"Hmmm..."
Time passed, we also left the horse cart out there in the heat. I don't know if the horse over there is still there or has it been eaten by the monsters too...?
Anko thought hard, she kept thinking if she had the power, if she had the power to help Syifa, if only she had the power...?
"Power, huh!?" It seems he found a way to find.
But, Anko was still not sure if what she had thought could help her or not?

"Syifa, I will help you!"
