186 Lesson 56: Shape of Strength (1/2)

I hear laughter. Hihihi, there's a tall laugh called Hihihi.

A decadent and offensive voice. Since I began to hear this voice in my dreams, there has been no such thing as sleep in Wisteria.

To be honest, that perception hasn't changed much since we learned of the existence of homologous beings (anima). The thought of whether something like this is really the other self is constantly wandering in Wisteria's mind.

Now and again, the demon gods are laughing. He laughs when he sees the Catalan desert blowing with unimaginable storms of destruction.

If you think a large swarm of demons has approached you, it will be overshadowed by a terrible ice storm, immediately after which a giant stream of light will also swallow the ice storm to dye your vision silver.

I don't know what's going on with Wisteria. Sometimes I just get it. What is happening now in front of us is a fierce battle in the divine domain. If you want to step outside from the invisible wall built by Sola, Wisteria must be dusted and extinguished at that moment.

All I can do is watch in silence. At least get to the ground so you don't get in the way of Sola, who's fighting.

An unknowingly self-derisive grin spills over the unusual appearance in the lead swordsman. Maybe the demon god is laughing when he sees his wretched host. For example, I may have been put through my mind for the first time with homologous existence (Anima) - when Wisteria was caught in such a backward thought.

”Wisteria”

”Ha, yes!?

Unexpectedly Sora calls, Wisteria gives her a face that was panicking and nagging. I wasn't expecting it at all, so depending on what I heard, I might have heard ”hiccup”.

In contrast to the panicking wisteria, Sola has asked in a sober voice.

”Do you have any means to do something about this attack? Specifically, I'd appreciate it if you could take my place for about ten seconds.”

Wisteria, who heard it, once again looked at the sight in front of her, in a dismal manner.

Sola builds a wall of magic with her left hand raised to prevent the silver turbulence that kills her from the western direction. That seemed like a weir (seiki) that would quench the flooding that pushed in, and Wisteria's vision clearly reflected two energies that stirred up violently.

An ear-busting roar. A splash of magic scattered in the aftermath of a clash.

Wisteria's body would melt like candy just after this splash. Shouldn't be able to replace him. I must say that I can squeeze all the power and do it well if I can withstand even half a second.

When I told her about it in a trembling voice, Sora nodded to think of something.

”Right. Then this is a good offense.”

”Let it be, a positive attack, is it?

”Yeah, I'll keep stuffing the distance”

Walk closer to the enemy while preventing them from attacking, Sora says. How many times, Wisteria flashed.

You expected that reaction, Sora goes on to explain.

Where I have endured this, there is no guarantee that the power of the enemy will run out first. There is also the hand of passing through the rays emitted by the enemy so that the tip of the spear is passed through with a shield, but this enemy's attack is not likely to be handled well because it has too wide a valid range. If you do poorly, your current equilibrium breaks down because you tried to recieve it, and this one gets blown away.

If so, the best course of action would be to pack the distance from the enemy while taking the attack head-on, not doing the small work of recieving, etc. - Sola said.

Not only that, but I moved it to execution. Step by step to step on the ground with unimaginable energy starting straight back.

Needless to say again, it's the other side of the desert that has enemies. It is far from even visible in Wisteria's sight. How much time does it take to walk with that enemy and try to narrow the distance?

It's not just time. In the meantime, the magic that prevents the enemy from attacking will be immense.

Besides, the Catalan Desert today is just hard to walk. The sand is melting out because of the heat. If you step in, you'll burn to the bone.

It was clear to everyone that what Sora called ”positive attack” was a reckless attempt. Maybe even Sola knows it. Still, I guess Sora went into action because she thought it was better than standing still, even if it was reckless.

You should act from yourself, even if it is reckless, rather than taking any steps and just waiting for the situation to turn around caricaturally. It is also to give no initiative to the enemy.

- Strong, I thought.

It's not even a comparison, such as Wisteria, which is crushed by the laughter of the demon god and his powerlessness, and just spills a laugh of self-derision.

There would also be an option to abandon the foot clump (wisteria) and fight. That way, there must be as many of them as we can fight.

But Sola didn't want to abandon Wisteria. Perhaps I never even thought of such an option.

Having thought that far, Wisteria felt like she understood another reason why Sora had chosen a reckless orthodox approach.
