Since Blue Crab speed was faster than Haruhime, it soon closed the distance. Haruhime glanced back and frowned.
'Haruhime: Not good. This place is still too close to its group. Granted that we fight here, the sound of our fighting will be heard by them, and they will also rush over.'
CRACKLE!!!!!
A thin layer of ice was then released from Haruhime feet as she was running before it surged towards the blue crab behind and covered it with it. With Haruhime current strength it's impossible to freeze the blue crab but it's still enough to decrease its speed somewhat. And as expected it did decrease its speed. Then Haruhime ran to the place where there was no other monster, and their fighting won't be heard. Once she reached the location she wanted to, Haruhime turned around and threw shards of ice at blue crab.
FWOOSH!!!
FWOOSH!!!
FWOOSH!!!
...…
...
…
DING!!!
DING!!!
DING!!!

...
…
Though it didn't do any damage to it. Seeing this Haruhime frowned again. By now blue crab was already in front and attacked Haruhime. If it was another person than he/she would have to take it head on, but Haruhime moved nimbly and succeeded in barely dodging it. Using her "Ice Manipulation", Haruhime covered the area of 1 meter around her in ice. Then using her other skill "Glacies Dance", she was able to move very quickly and lightly in that area. Not only that it also decreased the speed of her enemies who entered the area.
This was the one of the moves she created by combing both of her skills. Though, she didn't want to use it much because its magic consumption is too much. And currently her magic reserve is also very small. But still, she knew that she can't hold back here and decided to go all out from the very beginning.
After barely dodging that attack, Haruhime brought out her folding fan from her sleeves. Then she coated its edges with her Ice magic again to increase its sharpness before attacking.
SWISH!!
DING!!
'Haruhime: Tch. Hard. It's like I am hitting a hard metal.'
Haruhime hand numbed a bit because of rebound force behind her attack. The ice she coated at her folding fan also started to crack. Blue crab turned at this moment and attacked again. Because her body was also a little stunned because of rebound force, she didn't have time to dodge. However, when the attack was about to hit her, she created an ice shield in front.
BANG!!!
CRACK!!
SHATTER!!
Although it shattered in the next second and the attack hit Haruhime.
POW!!
Haruhime: Urg!!!!
Because of the attack Haruhime was thrown few meters away before she hit the wall.
Haruhime: Grh!!!
Haruhime started to cough blood from her mouth. She could tell some of her ribs were broken from just that single attack. If the ice shield didn't decrease the force behind the attack even slightly then she would be on the verge of death by now. This showed very the disparity in strength.
Haruhime: *cough* *cough* HRRGH!!!
Haruhime violently coughed few more times. Blue crab seeing that Haruhime was not dead yet rushed towards her again. By now Lili had also caught up. She was merely five seconds behind Haruhime and Haruhime condition already became like this in those five seconds. So, she coated her dagger with her Earth magic and jumped at blue crab.
Blue crab was as sensing someone behind and turned. Then it used its claw to deflect Lili's attack.
DING!!
Lili: HNNGH!!!
Lili gritted her teeth trying to overpower blue crab with her earth magic but to no vail. In the end, she was pushed back.
STEP!!
STEP!!
STEP!!
After Lili took three steps back, blue crab moved hit her.
Lili: Urg!!!
Just like Haruhime, Lili was thrown few meters away before she also hit the wall.
Lili: Grh!!!
She also became severely injured like Haruhime. As she was coughing blood, blue crab approached Lili this time to end her. Though...
FWOOSH!!!
FWOOSH!!!
FWOOSH!!!
...…
...
…
DING!!!
DING!!!
DING!!!

Shards of ice again hit it. Blue crab stopped and turned towards Haruhime who was on her feet again while breathing heavy.
Haruhime: *huff* *huff* *huff* *cough* *cough*
Haruhime moved towards blue again.
CRACK!!
CRACK!!
Lili also used her full strength to come out of the wall. She then also moved towards blue crab.
STEP!!! STEP!!!
STEP!!! STEP!!!
STEP!!! STEP!!!
They both walked towards blue crab step-by-step before dashing at him. Since Lili was near the blue crab, she reached it soon. She raised her dagger coated with earth magic again and stabbed at blue crab. Blue crab stopped it again with its claw.
CLANG!!!
But before it could attack, Haruhime reached it. She first used her ice to cover the crab to decrease its speed then attacked with it with her fan coated with ice magic again.
SWISH!!
DING!!
The same result happened. Haruhime took a step back because of her numb hand and stunned body. Blue crab decided to change its target to Haruhime. But before it could attack her, Lili stomped on the ground and an earth wall came out under the blue crab.
Goundou!!!
BANG!!
CRUMBLE!!
Nevertheless, it crumbled after hitting it but still it succeeded in changing the direction of its attack a little. Because of that Haruhime was able to dodge it. Yet, it injured her arm.
BWISH!!!
Blood came out of her injured arm. Haruhime frowned because of pain put still didn't scream. Next, she used more of her ice magic to cover the blue crab decreasing its speed as much as she can. Taking advantage of this Lili attacked again with her dagger. This time blue crab failed to stop it. Her dagger stabbed into it head.
STAB!!!
BWAH!!
It's impossible for a normal dagger to penetrate the metal body of blue crab. But Lili earth magic increased the hardness of the dagger. Hence it didn't break when it hit the blue crab. On top of that, with the strength provided by earth magic made it possible for the dagger to penetrate into its skin. Still, it only entered 2 cm before stopping.
Blue crab made a fast turn and threw Lili off him. Lili fell on the ground and rolled a few times from stablishing herself. Haruhime attacked the moment blue crab threw Lili off. She attacked the injury done by Lili.
SWISH!!
DING!!
BWAH!!
Even though it was deflected again, it still increased the size of the wound it. Blue Crab moved again and attack Haruhime with its claw. Haruhime took a step back to dodge it, but she got injured on her right waist as blood gushed out of it.
SWISH!!
BWAH!!
SPLURT!!!
Haruhime: Grh!!!!!!
This time injury was deep. Lili attacked before the blue crab could continue with attacking Haruhime from distance. She threw stones coated by her earth magic to increase their power however much it can.
BANG!!
BANG!!
BANG!!
...…
...
…
Blue crab stopped again and turned to Lili again. Haruhime attacked when blue crab turned. She also attacked with her ice shards at the injured part.
FWOOSH!!!
FWOOSH!!!
FWOOSH!!!
...…
...
…
DING!!!
DING!!!
BWAH!!
DING!!!
BWAH!!
...…
...
…
It also injured it more. Lili and Haruhime rushed again. First, it was Lili who attacked with her dagger and blue crab stopped it like before.
CLANG!!
Then Haruhime attacked from other direction with her fan.
SWISH!!
DING!!
BWAH!!
Blue attacked Haruhime but Lili again interfered and attacked.
BWAH!!
This kept on going for few minutes. The injuries on blue crab kept on becoming more and more severe. As a result, its movement began sluggish with time. However, it was not the only one. Lili and Haruhime had also reached their limit. They were barely keeping up with their synchronized attacks.
By now even blue crab instincts started screaming. It realized that if it keeps up then it will die. So, it decided to take drastic measure. When Haruhime attack fell on it, it attacked her. Lili used the old tactic of attacking it to grab its attention like before. But this time it chose to ignore it and continued its attack on Haruhime.
Haruhime also sensed the danger. So, she tried to make ice shield again. However, to her horror she didn't have magic to make one. Hence, the only thing she could do was bringing her left arm in front.
BANG!!!
CRACK!!
PLAT!!!
Haruhime: ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Haruhime painful scream sounded as her left arm was completely severed from her shoulder. Then she was also thrown away by the remaining force and hit the wall again.
CRACK!!!
CRACK!!!
Haruhime: AH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Haruhime screamed again as not only her almost all of her ribs but even the bones in her tail broke when she struck wall second time. As tail was one of the sensitive parts of her, the pain she experienced from it was also enhanced to great degree.
DRIP!!!
DRIP!!!
DRIP!!!
...…
...
…
Blood was flowing from all part of Haruhime body. Her body, her tail and her now missing arm.
SPLAT!!!
Hearing this, she turned and look at her left arm on the distance.
BANG!!!
Lili: Grgh!!!! ARGH!!!!!!!!!!
At this time, Lili was also thrown at a distance and struck the wall. She also screamed loudly as there was a huge slash mark on her chest. From her left shoulder to her right-waist. All her bones were broken even her shoulder broke.
DRIP!!!
DRIP!!!
DRIP!!!
...…
...
…
Blood was also dripping from her body. Both Lili and Haruhime were covered in blood from head to toe. They were barely controlling themselves from falling unconscious. At this moment, blue crab moved towards Lili to end her. Before throwing Lili away, it was struck hard by hard by her. Its movements were very sluggish too. It was also covered in blood like other two.
'Haruhime: Just a little more.'
Haruhime tried to move but it didn't work. No matter how much she tried, her body just won't listen. Since she was unable to move her body, she decided to put her strength on her remain right-arm. She used all her remaining strength and raised her right arm. Then she pointed her right hand towards the blue crab. Her last remaining magic gathered and condensed into a last shard of ice. Then she threw it at blue crab.
FWOOSH!!!!
BWAH!!!!!
Since the condition of blue crab was also not good, it failed to stop it and the shard stabbed into its injury. Just when Haruhime thought it was over and her right arm lost its strength fell, blue crab turned towards Haruhime and rushed at her with full strength. Haruhime eyes opened wide in terror as she saw this. Yet, no matter how much she tried to move her body just won't listen.
'Haruhime: Move. Move. MOVE. MOVEEEEE'
But it's useless. By now blue crab reached in front of her and raised its claw. Haruhime witnessed as the death approaching her. Fortunately, when its claw was about to end her, a stone came with full speed and hit the shard of ice which was still embedded in blue crab wound.
FWOOSH!!!
DING!!!
THRUST!!!
As a result, the shard entered even deeper. Blue Crab who raised its claw to end Haruhime stopped all its movement. Then, it dispersed into dust and a magic stone fell.
DING!!
Haruhime used her willpower to turn towards the location from where the stone came. There she saw Lili pointed her right-hand towards her direction before her arm also fell. That was also her remaining magic. If it had failed, then they both will be dead by now. Next, both of their gaze met, and they smiled.
Primis: Well done.
