Let's set aside the fact that Shiva-san, who was called auntie by
Ophir, was about to reach her 28th birthday even though she was
now unageing.
"——
Rooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrr!!"
""!""
As if in respond to our activation of"Superior Arms", Boreios also
evolved into Fantasy Form.
――Rumble!
It was a big, and very powerful evolution.
He grew to nearly 10 times in height, literal steel-like muscles
wrapped his entire body, and to top it off—
"—As… terios…!"
――CRACK!
""Wha!?""
Lighting started to clad that body of his.
Offense and defense in one body.
It looked like he was going to be tough opponent.
But! We swung the battleaxe which was glowing with divine light.
"In our current state, there's none who can stand in our way!"
"Ou! Let's give 'im a taste of this overflowin' power!"
"Yeah!" I shouted with a nod, then we kicked off the ground and
rushed towards Boreios who had transformed into a thunder giant.
"Rooooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!"
――BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMM!
As we did, Boreios slammed his Sacred Treasure into the ground
with tremendous force, the shockwave of which became a horizontal
slash heading in our way.
""Somethin' like this ain't gonna do nothin' to stop us!!""
――BANG!
Having smashed through the shockwave head on, we kept up our
momentum and closed in on Boreios.
He was clad in lightning armor which would likely cause an electric
shock if touched, but it didn't deter us.
""Oraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!"
CLANG! Our full-powered blow struck Boreios's cheek from the side.
"Grrrraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrggggggghhhhh!?"
――BOOM!
Seeing Boreios fell to the ground from the impact, Ophir shouted,
"That felt great~!" in delight.
Further, our body was regenerating while raising steam.
"I can't get enough of it! This's how a battle's s'posed to be like!"
"Haha, true. I feel like I can understand your feelings better now.
That sure felt great, no doubt about it."
"I know right? It ain't sayin' that hit and run tactic is bad, but this kind
of fight, in which ya trade blows, cut flesh, and sever bones is more
right up my alley. It makes ya feel 'alive', don't cha agree?"
"Yeah. Especially because I'm immortal. Plus, we're unified now, so
there's no limit to how reckless we can be."
"Ou! That's why I'm havin' so much fun right now! As I thought,
you're the best husband, Exa!" Ophir said excitedly.
"Haha, you flatter me. You're the best wife too, Ophir." I smiled
broadly.
We then turned our eyes to Boreios, who was getting back up.
◇ ◇
Meanwhile.
"—Shining Cross Blade!"
Slash! A man released a high-level light attribute Combat Art.
He seemed to be in his mid-twenties, and there was a fearless look
on his face.
He was an adventurer who possessed"Sword Demon"skill, and
due to his excellence in light attribute sword skills, he had been
given the moniker of 'Hero of Light', which he was proud of.
"Sword Demon" was a skill one tier below"Sword Saint", and
among common skills, it was a cut above the rest when it came to
swordsmanship.
The comrades the man had formed a party with were behind him.
They had buffed his attack with the strongest support Magic Arts
they could cast.
And yet,
"—It's useless… Something like this won't hurt me…"
It didn't work on 'her' at all.
She had easily blocked the strongest attack the party could possibly
bring out with just a single hand.
As such, the man lowered his sword and asked her, "What do you
want? Why are you attacking us?"
She then warped her pale face, pointed at the man, and said, "Give
me your power and body… I want it so much now…"
