――BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNNN
NGGGGGG!!
Amid the big explosion that occurred due to the collision between
Breaths, we cladded ourselves in lightning and flew in the sky in a
zigzag.
""—Grand Eclair Ballista!!""
Having went around behind Agartha at super high speed, we tried to
strike him on the back with a flash of lightning attack but,
——Bwoo!
""—!?""
He dodged right before our attack landed as if he had eye on his
back.
Moreover.
"Roar!"
At the same time as he dodged, he twisted his body and swiped his
tail like a whip in counter.
——Thwack!
""Gwaah!?""
We received it with the lance, but the power behind it wasn't halfassed, and we were blown to the ground at a tremendous speed.
"Exa!"
"I know!"
FLAP! I was able to somehow kill the momentum by opening the
wings on my back just before we collided with the ground.
""ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRR
RRRRR!!""
――WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSSSSSS
SSSSSHHHHHHH!!
""Wha!?""
In no time, their combined Breaths were upon us. It was too late to
dodge, and we had no choice but to take it head on.
But.
"—Grand Full Pentagon!"
――WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMM!!
""!""
Right before the Breaths landed on us, Shiva-san's fivefold shield
protected us and completely blocked the Breaths that were winding
around each other.
"Grr…"
He probably didn't expect the Breaths would be blocked.
Agartha growled, sounding annoyed.
"Thank you, you saved us!" I said.
"Umu, you have my thanks." Arca nodded.
"Don't mind it. More importantly, be more careful, okay? It seems
that Agartha can share the visions of those he enslaved," said Shivasan.
"Sharing vision… I see, that explains it," muttered Arca.
I nodded, "Yeah, no wonder why he was able to avoid our attack. It'd
be a matter of course if he was seeing from another place."
Moreover, he had pretended to be defenseless to lure us into
attacking him.
Looked like he was still capable of rational thought despite having
been turned into a Blackdoll.
However, if that was the case, I thought I knew a way to deal with
him.
"So, in a sense, the slaves are clones of his, right?" Arca said.
"Yeah, you can put it that way. And since that's the case, it'd
naturally be simple to defeat him."
"Oh, really?"
As Shiva-san put on a surprised look, I nodded vigorously and said,
"Yes. Since the enemy has two bodies—we just have to take down
both at the same time."
"Umu, true indeed."
Hearing the plan, Shiva-san was stunned for a moment, before
giggling, "Fufu," amusedly and saying, "well then, I'd be expecting a
great performance. At any rate, you said your"Superior Arms"is
the strongest. Right? Arcadia."
"But of course. Keep those over farsighted eyes of yours peeled and
watch it—the essence of our 'spear', that is."
◇ ◇
""Grrrrr...""
After we had returned back to the sky, Agartha and the silver flying
dragon sandwiched us, and then they slowly circled around us as if it
was the most natural thing to do.
If we showed an opening, even for a moment, they'd definitely attack
us without mercy.
Simultaneously, at that.
With that in mind, this was the only means we could take.
""—!?"" Agartha and the silver flying dragon opened their eyes wide,
seeing us raising the lance with both hands.
What on earth are they up to—that question probably occupied their
mind.
And confused they'd be.
After all, no matter how hard they were thinking about it, they
wouldn't come up with the answer.
"Hey, what's wrong? We're full of openings, you know? You're not
coming?"
I knew it was a cheap provocation.
But I bet they'd bite it.
Because,
""—
ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAARRRRR
RRRR!!""
――WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSSSS
SHHHHHH!!
In their eyes, we were but 'one person'.
They had the advantage in numbers, and also in position—if so,
even if was a cheap provocation, they could just overpower us.
That must be what they were thinking.
But—
Clang! The lance—split into two.
""—Ga!?""
"Sorry! You're not facing one, but two of us!"
"Umu! Not to mention, we're both united in powers and arms!"
Hence, something such as manifesting another lance with
Amaterasu Orb was a piece of cake.
""—Grand Tempest Ballista!!""
BANG! The lances thrown with maximum centrifugal force tore the
sky apart, spiraling as they flew. They forced their way through the
Breaths and head straight towards Agartha and the silver flying
dragon.
Then.
――SPLAT!
""Gyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!?""
At almost the same time, they dug into the bodies of Agartha and the
silver flying dragon, scattering their blood to the surroundings.
