Chapter 285
Chapter 285 - Let's Defeat the Skeletons
As the Adamant Skull Ashuras rushed to retreat due to Devil King's Intimidation, the first to jump out were Yuuko-nee and Jinrai . Jinrai possessed a discerning eye for such chances .
The next was Kazane's summoned Berserk Ogre's kamikaze attack, and Kazane also ran after him .
Naoki and Lyle would work together with Tatsuyoshi-kuns Dragoon and Normal to protect Tiara and Louise . With their strength, proactively engaging the Adamant Skull Ashuras was still dangerous . However, both had reached the level of being able to deal with them as long as they limited themselves to staying defensive .
Then Tiara summoned her Flame Power and Louise used the summoning technique『Lightning Sphere』she obtained at the Vordo Ruins . Then the ball of lightning and the Flame Power flew towards the Adamant Skull Ashuras together .
Facing them were 34 Adamant Skull Ashuras . While there were many obstacles around, they were in the open, unlike the Vordo Ruins, so it was much easier to move around, and there wasn't the risk of being caught between a dead end and a large number of Adamant Skull Ashuras . Also, since they were battling from the front instead of being surprise attacked, there was no reason for them to fall behind . Above all, the『monsters』in front of them were different from ones in the ruins .
「Nnーit's a big catch . 」
「It's hard to believe this many were concealed . 」
Jinrai replied to Kazane's words with a look of amazement .
「But these Skeletons have Cores . 」
「These ones seem to be stand-alone types . The Cores are also probably good material, but life is the most important thing, so let's destroy them without worrying about it . 」
Kazane said while the combination of her and the Berserk Ogre defeated the Adamant Skull Ashuras in perfect synchronization thanks to『Information Link』 . Jinrai was watching them with wide eyes .
(Their combination fighting is entirely like they are a single creature . Good grief, she's always full of surprises . )
While he grumbled in his mind, Jinrai's blood was boiling . When such a thing was displayed in front of him, he couldn't help but feel enthusiastic .
「Let's do it too, Yuuko-nee!!」
「Unyaaaa!」
With her rivalry towards the Berserk Ogre fired up, Yuuko-nee also responded to Jinrai's words by increasing her top speed . There was a pair of war demons there . And they accelerated .
And that wasn't the only battlefield .
At a site slightly separated from the place where Kazane's group was fighting, intense lightning was being released and blowing away the skeletons .
「Amazing……」
Tiara raised her voice in admiration as she looked at the scene through her Flame Power . The summoning spell『Lightning Sphere』simply gathered high-density Lightning energy in one place . The consumable summoned being lacked any will of its own, and it would continue to fight according to the caster's instructions until its magical power ran out .
「Hmm . It's highly versatile, but it's like trying to control a runaway horse . 」
Louise, who was controlling the Lightning Sphere next to Tiara, said that with a frown . It was certainly powerful . Its appearance could be changed as much as she wanted, and it could do various attacks, but controlling it took a great deal of mental power .
「Well, it's a Last Chapter Grimoire class spell, so is that just how it is?」
While saying that, Louise changed the Lightning Sphere into a spear shape and had it charge an Adamant Skull Ashura . And when the Adamant Skull Ashura's posture was destroyed due to the attack, the Flame Power pierced its Core with its flame lance .
It was the birth of another teacher and student battle combination in the White Party . As they fought, Louise mastered how to skillfully use the Lightning Sphere .
She changed it into a spear and had it kamikaze attack, split it into pieces to get behind enemies, changed it into an arrow and pierced them, had it coil around the enemies to shock them and stop their movements, changed it into a shield when the Adamant Skull Ashuras attacked the Flame Power, and when the enemies showed a momentary gap, she compressed it into a needle and pierced their Cores . Exactly as Kazane said, it was certainly a powerful summoning technique .
「In short, it feels the same as handling my Water Spirit . 」
The White Party had too many members with high offensive power, so there hadn't been any particular chances for Louise to use her summoned Water Spirit recently . It was a highly versatile summoned being that could be freely transformed and used for both offense and defense, and it could also speed up recovery by entering a wound and controlling blood flow, but it seemed handling the Lightning Sphere was similar to it .
「That's amazing, Louise-san . 」
Tiara was in high spirits beside her .
(Well, it's useful, but it's tiring . Using Thunderstorm is easier . )
The amount of Magic Power consumed was also high, but that could be supplemented with the blue square crystal『Azure Sky Coffin』she obtained in the ruins . Although it was a lower ranking Item than the Crimson Saint coffin, it added +150 Magic Power . That was equivalent to the amount possessed by the average magician; in other words, Louise's Magic Power had nearly doubled . So while Magic Power wasn't a problem in particular, the consumption of mental power was considerable . However, while Louise wasn't a prodigy who could handle 10 summons in parallel like Tiara, she'd had a long career . She had the ability to handle the『Lightning Sphere』alone .
(Well, I've obtained it, so it can't be helped . I can't take it easy anymore . )
「Tiara, let's decide our combination . 」
「Yes!」
Then flame and lightning danced across the battlefield .
「Wow, that's flashy . 」
「Don't stand there admiring, fight . Damn it!」
Naoki was watching Louise's『Lightning Sphere』with admiration, and Lyle at his side reprimanded him . There were two Adamant Skull Ashuras in front of them . Together with Tatsuyoshi-kuns Dragoon and Normal, they were currently keeping them in check .
And behind Naoki's group, Tiara and Louise were being protected by the Hippo-kuns . Naoki's group was currently fulfilling their role of protecting the rear guard from any Adamant Skull Ashuras that slipped through the front line .
