(*A/N: Here goes 4/6 chapter of this week. Please Enjoy.)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ais: Arielle...
Ais murmured the name.
Primis: If you don't like it, you can think of something else.
Ais shakes her head in denial before replying.
Ais: No. I like it.
Primis nodded. Ais then took a deep breath before shouting.
Ais: ARIEL—
Primis: By the way, why did you shout the skill name before using it?
Ais: ...
Primis: ...
Ais: ...Doesn't it become more powerful that way?
Primis lips twitched.
'Primis: Who are you Goku or Saiyan?'
Primis: Who said that?
Ais: Lady Lok--- I mean Loki.
'Primis: No wonder. There is no way Finn, Gareth and Riveria will spout such nonsense.'
Primis: What else did she said?
Ais: She said I should wear increasingly revealing clothes because the more skin I show the more comfortable it is for me to fight.
Primis: ...
[Woah. Loki really took full advantage of her lack of common sense.]
Primis: Ais, from now on whenever you will be free you will learn under Sheng Ming.
Ais: Huh?
Primis then turned and look at Sheng Ming who was also looking at him. She nodded before replying.
Sheng Ming: I will take care of it, Husband.
Primis: Hm.
Primis then return his gaze at Ais.
Primis: Ais, you are wrong if you think that saying or shouting the name of the skill make it more powerful.
Ais: It doesn't?
Primis: No, it doesn't. Loki just took the advantage of your lack of common sense.
Ais: ...
Primis: Think about it. There is a huge crowd around you. You are standing in the center. Then suddenly you shouted "Ariel". What would their reaction be?
Ais started to imagine the same scenario.
-------------------------------------
She is the middle of whole crowd. Then she shouted.
Ais: ARIEL
But instead of becoming astonished, people started to look at her like she is a weirdo. They hurriedly took some distance away from her like she is plague. At that time, her gaze fell on a boy who was looking at her with his mouth wide open. That boy then pointed his finger at Ais while looking at her mother who is holding his other hand.
Boy: Mom, what is that lady doing?
Woman: Stay away from her or you will get her infection.
-------------------------------------
Ais came out of her thoughts. Now her face turned red because of embarrassment.
'Ais: I have been doing such embarrassing thing all this time. Lokiiiiiiiiiii.'
[HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. I can imagine that.]
Primis: Anyway, using the name to define your skill is not a bad thing. Even I myself do it.
Ais: My Lord, does?
Primis: Yes. But I don't shout like you do. I only say their name in my head.
Ais: Is that so?
Primis: Yes. And naming is not because they became stronger but because it gave me a better image of the skill I am using or about to use.
Ais closed her eyes again. After some time, she opened them. The image of her "Ariel" is deeply rooted in her mind. That's why she was able to not only able recreate it but took it to whole different level.
Ais: I understand, My Lord.
Ais took a deep breadth again before taking a stance. This stance is completely different than the one she took before. This is the stance of her new swordsmanship "Ventus Fury".
'Ais: Arielle.'
WAIL!!
WHIZ!!
WOO!!
Hurricanes appeared around Ais again before it covered her like her "Ariel". Primis nodded before showing a smile.
Primis: I think I should also take it to another level too.
CRACKLE!!
SPARK!!
Ais eyes wide opened. Even though Primis didn't show any noticeable change. A spark of weiß lighting was still released from his body. Since Primis control over his weiß lighting had reached Grandmaster level, instead of surrounding him like Ais's "Arielle" or like Riakage from Naturo world whose all hairs on his body stands when he covered himself with his lighting armor. Primis weiß lighting is inside his body. If Ais didn't see the spark of weiß lighting, then even she won't has realized it.
This is the first time, Primis showed his weiß lighting to Ais. When they fought for the first time, Primis didn't use it. So, this is new to her.
Primis: Are you ready?
Ais came out of her daze before nodding her head. Primis held his Elucidator tightly. Ais did the same with her Lambent Light. Then they both disappear.
CLANK!!!
BOOM!!
Their speed was so fast that they disappeared before their swords collide. With her new skill "Arielle", Ais already surpassed her previous self. They didn't stop just yet and exchanged hundreds of blows in a matter of a second.
CLANK!!
CLICK!!
SLASH!!
HACK!!
...…
...
…
Primis deflects Ais attacks before attacking back. Ais met them head-on before jumping back to make some time. Primis didn't let her and followed. Just when his attack was about to hit her, Ais stomped hard on the ground.
STOMP!!
Dust rose. Then she used her wind magic to make it rose even more before disappearing in between. This smokescreen would have worked before, but too bad Elemental sight can saw through it without any problem. Primis turned around and lean back.
THRUST!!
Ais become shocked when Primis dodged her attack without any problem. As if her smokescreen didn't work. Primis didn't let her thoughts run wild before kicking her.
POW!!
SWOOSH!!
Kick threw Ais away but since she used her "Lambent Light" to block at the last moment, it didn't do much damage. Ais did summersault to erase the remaining force before landing. The moment she landed she ducked back.
SLASH!!
Primis passed by her. If she didn't duck, then it would have injured her a lot because Primis moved in a straight line that time. Ais then noticed Primis unguarded back. She didn't let of this opportunity and leaped at him. Her Lambent Light was about to touch him but Primis as if has eyes behind saw that and jumped backward.
HOWL!!
SWOOSH!!
The sound of wind howling was sounded when Primis dodged. Their positions switched. Now Ais unguarded back is in front of his eyes. And just like her, he won't let go of this opportunity. So, he attacked. As if sense the incoming danger, Ais twisted her body and dodged it.
PIERCE!!
SWOOSH!!
It's almost impossible to do what Ais did just now without receiving any backlash. But since her new skills made her nimbler, it was not that difficult for her. Ais then attacked again. Primis also countered back.
CLANK!!!

CLANK!!!
BOOM!!!
There confrontation showed no sign of stopping. But Primis knew that Ais will lose soon. Why? Because she didn't do any magic control training yet. As a result, using "Arielle" on top of Enhanced Mode used too much magic. And just like he predicted, soon Ais attacks started to get weaken. Primis narrowed his eyes before pushing her back. After stabling herself when she was about to attack again, Primis stopped her.
Primis: You are reaching your limit. Instead of prolonging it any longer why don't we end it with one last attack.
Ais: Ok.
Ais nodded because she can also feel that her magic is about to run out. When that happened, she can only depend on her base stats. Means her strength will return to Level 2. She took a deep breath as all her remaining magic condensed into her Lambent Light for one last attack.
HOWL!!!
WOO!!!
Voice of wind sounded as it covered Ais. Ais took a deep breath again before taking stance. Primis smiled as he himself also took a stance.
CRACKLE!!!
ROAR!!
The roar of weiß lighting also sounded. Primis folded his arm with Elucidator towards his shoulder while twisting his body to the right. In other time, the sound of jet engine would have sounded but this time roar of lighting did. Both stared at each other before moving.
A spiral tornado was formed at the pointed tip of Lambent Light. A whole tornado was behind Ais as she moved.
As for Primis. His whole Elucidator emitted weiß lighting. Not only that his body is also constantly releasing the sparks of weiß lighting as he moved.
And then their attacks met.
'Ais: Le Souffle.'
'Primis: Vorpal Strike.'
"Le Souffle" upgraded version of Ais previous strongest attack "Lil Rafaga". While Primis used close ranged "Vorpal Strike" instead of long ranged one.
TING!!!
BOOM!!!!!
An explosion occurred but it was not the end.
HOWL!!!!
CRACKLE!!!!
Both pointed tips of Elucidator and Lambent Light were still holding on. Both Primis and Ais were still trying to overwhelm each other. Wind howled behind Ais. Lighting roared behind Primis. More and more magic was being released by both of them. After few seconds, Ais started to get push back. But since Primis was still holding on, how could she let herself be.
'Ais: Not yet. I can still go on.'
Ais will and determination became even stronger. As if responding back, wind around her became stronger. Now she was no longer being pushed back. A small smile appeared on Primis face when he saw this.
'Primis: Well done.'
When Primis was done speaking, both their attacked exploded.
KABOOM!!!!!!!!!!!
BANG!!!
CRACKLE!!!
HOWL!!!
ROAR!!!
Wind and Lighting storm occurred because of their clash.
Ais opened her eyes after some time. She looked around and found herself in the eye of this very wind and lighting storm. She can tell that she would die if she touched this storm even a little. She then looked in front. She saw Primis and become stunned.
Primis gaze was completely different than before. It was neither cold nor indifferent one but a gentle one. Along with gentle smile made Primis a lot more approachable than even Sheng Ming herself. It's true that the more the darkness the more powerful Sharingan become. But it's also true that the wielder of Sharingan possessed boundless love.
Since this is the first-time Ais witnessed so much gentleness and love emitting from Primis Sharingan, she can't believe that he could show such expression. Primis then pointed his Elucidator at Ais. His Sharingn was still showing that same gentle expression.
Primis: Come on, Ais. You are not done yet, right.
Ais came out of her stupor and narrowed her eyes. She had some question like how they can get out of this storm. Or whether it was fine to stay here longer. But for some reason, she felt a distinct feeling. A feeling of not caring and simply wanting to continue fighting with Her Lord.
Ais: Here I come.
Ais gripped her Lambent Light before dashing forward. She thrust forward as it pierced through the air towards Primis. She didn't use "Enhanced Mode" neither "Wind Manipulation" nor "Arielle". As she could feel that her magic is completely empty. Not surprising since she poured her everything into "Le Souffle". So, she will have to rely on her base stats now.
'Ais: Yet for some reason.'
As her Lambent Light came close to Primis who didn't move and was watching her with a gentle eyes and smile….
'Ais: I don't care.'
Elucidator is Primis hand suddenly moved and deflected it. Ais used the force of deflect to spin before attacking again. Primis moved his Elucidator again and began to deflecting, parring, redirecting all the attacks that came from Ais.
At this moment, Primis defense was impenetrable. No matter what Ais do, she always failed to break his guard. Thrust, stab, slash and swing were all perfectly defended by Primis without moving a bit from his spot.
Yet even with all of this, Ais had a beautiful smile on her face as she continued attacking. It was a smile of sheer joy, a smile that came from the bottom of her heart. A smile that was describing her feeling at this exact moment.
In a way, she wasn't fighting Primis but was playing with him. Primis is the only one that she could play and fight like this. Unlike before, she didn't need to worry about hurting him. Or like when Loki Familia stopped and told her to control herself. Primis was the only one that she could fight with her all.
Her Lord who wouldn't break even if she gives her all. She was happy that she could fight like this. She could feel it from her heart that Her Lord was telling her and urging her to keep on going. To go as wild as she can. As much as she wants with no need to worry. For he will take it all and continue to stay strong.
Primis thrust his Elucidator forward. Ais quickly dodged but the next attack was already in front of her. Ais moved her arm in front, taking the blow. Then she thrusted forward with her Lambent Light.
Primis only laughed as he quickly deflected it. He then continued to dance and play with Ais.
