Ais, wrapped in her wind, attacked again. Brohmier caught her by her rapier again. The wind tornado crashed against him, blowing his cloak back, the blades of wind colliding with his skin but unable to pierce.
He pulled her sword to his right as she tried to kick him in the face. Just like last time, he blocked it with his other arm.
CRUNCH!
'Heavier than last time.' Brohmier felt this kick, but he had enough strength to stop it. The Ariel wind around her leg stopped, giving him a respite.
Another wind blew to his right, a silver boot colliding with his cheek. The massive force launched him to the right, the world turning upside down. He pushed the ground above his head to spin and get back on his feet. Both his feet dug into the ground, creating two gulleys as he came to a stop.
Looking front, he saw Ais wrapped in her wind; opposite her stood Bete Loga, his boots wrapped up in the same wind as Ais.
'The little doll's wind hides the wolf's magical signature. I will have to be careful with that.' He thought. He took a step back and saw a massive blade embedded in the ground.
On his right, Tiona with her Urga looked disappointed with the miss. Turning left, he caught the other twin by her arms as she was about to stab him with her khukuri knives.
Tiona pulled her Urga up, but a heavy force pushed it back down as the body of her twin crashed into her face. The two tumbled away. Brohmier lifted his leg off the Urga.
Tossing it up, he caught it by the handle, spinning it to get a sense of its weight, blocking the overhead axe of Gareth with it. The ground under him buckled under pressure.
"You're strong, dragon." Gareth's nerves were popping out of his head.
"You too are pretty strong for a dwarf." Brohmier tilted the Urga, sliding the axe down. Releasing his grip, he let it spin in the air, a green magic circle covering the Urga.
"Tornado Fan." The Urga spun faster, blowing a tornado and lifting Gareth into the air.
Brohmier decided to add fire to the wind; a new red magic circle appeared behind the green one. Suddenly he jumped back to dodge a beam of magic, interrupting his spell. Gripping the handle of the Urga, he spun it to block the beam as it turned back to attack again.
TANG!
A spear hit him on the waist, unable to pierce his skin but launching him up into the air, making him lose the Urga. Turning in mid-air, he saw the attacker—the pallum, Finn.
A variety of lights shone on his face as the magic squad bombarded him.
"Let's keep it up," Finn commanded.
The blast was ripped apart by a ball of wind as Brohmier stayed safe inside the wind ball.
Sword Princess pierced through the barrier easily, the wind-wrapped rapier reaching his face.
Tilting his head, he dodged the rapier, but the concentrated wind blades caused cuts on his face.
"My turn now." Smiling, he put his palms upfront, a blue magic circle appears. "Water Cannon."
The moisture in the air condensed to make a water ball; Ais could feel the blood on her face drying.
"Luminous Wind." Orbs of light and wind pierced the wind ball, pushing him back to the ground and then detonating in a flash of light.
Ryuu and Ais landed side by side. Ais looked at her. "Thanks."
"I don't need thanks, Kenki. You should control your emotions—you are causing more problems than helping," Ryuu replied coldly.
Ais looked down at her weak arms. She gripped her sword tighter. A hand wrapped around her neck.
"That's right, Ais. It's not cool you fighting alone." Tiona grinned.
Tione hit Tiona on the head, handing her Urga. "Get a grip on your weapon."
"Ais, believe in us. Believe in Captain. We are going to defeat him together," Tione said.
"We already have the upper hand; he is no match for us." Bete landed beside her.
"You should not underestimate your opponent, Bete," Finn walked by their side. "But yeah, if we are together, we will win this too."
"Lass, leave some fight for us too, would you?" Gareth, who had just landed back on earth, asked.
"Everyone…" Ais felt calmer surrounded by her familia. Looking back, she could see the worried eyes of Riveria watching her as she chanted her spell. She took a deep breath, calming the flames in her heart. Gripping her rapier, she felt reinvigorated.
"Thank you, guys." Ais gave a small smile for a second before her expression turned neutral.
Tiona happily hugged her. "Ah! Your smile is so cute, Ais."
"Look, even the cranky wolf is blushing. His face is red as a tomato." Tiona pointed at Bete.
Bete replied angrily, "It's just the rush from the fight."
Tiona put a finger on her chin, thinking about something. "What was the word Loki used? Tsundere? Are you tsundere?"
Bete growled back at her. "I am not. IDIOT."
"You said the line. You really ARE a tsundere."
"Do you want to fight, pea-brain Amazon?"
"Who are you calling pea-sized, you tsundere wolf?"
CLACK!
Brohmier stood up from the blast crater. He wiped the blood pouring from the wound on his cheek; he had no other surface injuries.
Dusting off the dirt, he commented, "Well, that was a pretty good nakama speech. I would give it a 7/10."
"Now I bet you are feeling pretty powerful, thinking you would win this fight." He put his palms together facing each other with 10 cm gap between them, red magic circles appearing on his palms.
"But I gotta tell you one thing—wake up to reality, kids. Only real power gets results here." A purple-colored, tennis-ball-sized fireball appeared between his palms. He pushed his palms closer, compressing the fireball into a white golf-ball-sized sphere.
Slowly turning his palms forward, he launched the ball. It flew with the speed of lightning, stopping in front of the group. Seeing the pulsing ball of fire, everyone jumped away.
"Nuclear Explosion," Brohmier murmured.
The ball of fire suddenly expanded into a massive dome, engulfing the group.
The melee fighters standing in front of the magic squad looked at the massive red fiery dome in shock. Their shock didn't last long as a beam of yellow light came out of the fire, traveling toward them.
"Heavenly Body Magic: Meteor."
Covered in golden magic particles, Brohmier pierced apart the defense formation. Barreling through them, he ripped apart shields, swords, maces, hammers, axes, arms, and legs.
Crossing the vanguard, he reached his true target—the magic squad. He aimed for the elf who used the homing magic earlier.
CLANG!
A glowing Riveria blocked his charge with her staff. She had cast Veil Breath for Ais, but due to the fireball, had to cast it on herself.
Brohmier was surprised by the strength of the elf, but this was not enough. Changing his aim from Lefiya to Riveria, he increased his magic strength and took off with Riveria, colliding straight into the buildings behind.
Ais was on her knees behind her stood Tiona and Tione. She had used Ariel as a protective shield wrapping around the three of them. On the other side, Bete's legs were shining red, brimming with fire magic. Beside him, Gareth took off his armor as its outer layer was brimming red with heat. Both of them made an excellent shield for Finn and Ryuu.
"Riveria-samaaaa…" Lefiya's cry got their attention.
Ais turned to see a straight gap in the melee formation. Straight after that, in the destroyed house, stood their opponent with his left hand wrapped around the thin white neck of Riveria.
Brohmier was lifting Riveria by her neck, her feet dangling in the air. Her green hair was soaked in her red blood; her eyes were closed. It gave her the look of a tragic heroine dying.
Seeing her state, something in Ais broke. The dark black flame flooded her body. Pure black wind blew around her. Brohmier increased his grip, causing Riveria's body to twitch.
"STOOOPPP!!!" Ais screamed. The black wind around her screamed with her, pushing Tione and Tiona back.
Brohmier looked back at her. "Looks like you are awake now."
SWISH!
Riveria had been waiting for this distraction. She swung her staff, but Brohmier caught her staff-holding hand. He turned the staff's base toward her, breaking many bones in her hand, causing Riveria to scream in pain.
PUCHI!
He pushed the staff through her chest, silencing her scream. Blood flowed from her mouth. Her eyes, wide open with pain, slowly started closing.
"Riveria…" The wind around Ais stopped blowing. Her eyes lost their luster, turning into empty voids. She kept mumbling, "Riveria… mama…"
