71 Episode 67: The Magic of Hajimari (1/2)
People have no wings. There was no way for people to dance in the sky. So the sky was nobody's.
Until that day. The sky that day was certainly just for them.
The blue winged anisphere accelerates. Follow the leading Uphilia as she swoops the hem of her coat.
Uphilia, who was flying like he was dancing ahead of the Anisphere, turns direction and faces the Anisphere.
Celestial held in Anisphere's hand is waved down. The arcane shell of Uphilia's hand receives and crosses to intercept.
The moment of intersection flies around the air for a moment, taking a distance to bounce off each other and drawing circles.
”” Air cutter ””
Uphilia waves the arcane shell as she widens her rainbow feathers wide and rises altitude to take the Anisphere overhead. The blade of the wind approaches Anisphere as it glimpses through the sword flashes painted by Arcanshell.
Anisphere turns back and dodges the impending wind blade, then turns back in the air to Uphilia.
Uphilia keeps rolling out air cutters for the looming anisphere. The anisphere changes course at a steep angle so as to escape the rays of the countless air cutters produced.
Uphilia, who was stagnant at a time when Anisphere radically changed course, also moves out. Now loosen your buoyancy and increase your speed towards the ground at once.
(Huh, still can't beat Anis at pure speed......!
Falling and increasing velocity, Ufiria frowns. At first glance, that's different if you think you're flying with the same gear, the same conditions.
The flight of Uphilia is only assisted by magic props, realizing the ”magic for flight” knitted by Uphilia on the axis. The main thing is to gain buoyancy.
So if you are going to use magic apart from flying magic, there are limits to the magic that can be activated at the same time. If it becomes massive magic, I can't keep up with my thoughts. Shooting magic while moving can only be combined with simple magic, even in Uphilia.
”Let them get away with it!!”
In contrast, Anisphere was flying entirely of demonic props only. Anispheric flights are carried out by the Spirit Stone, which incorporates the magic of flight assembled by Uphilia.
The difference between these two is trivial, but very different. Whereas the flight of Uphilia is magically controlled, the flight of Anisphere is controlled by magic props.
When it comes to what the difference makes, let's just say it's easy to understand the moment of intersection between the two of them.
”Ha!”
”Holy shit!
slack the orbit as the Ufirian arcane shell recieves into the anisphere that swings down the celestial to shake it wide.
Keep making sure Uphilia grabs Anisphere's arm and slips through. Plus it kicks Anisphere in the back.
Annisphere, kicked out by Uphilia, goes straight to the ground. Return your posture to do a forward rotation in the universe and land your feet on the roof of an impending building.
(Oh, no more! I can avoid it! If it's freedom of control, you can't beat a magic control formula!
Anisphere kicks the ground again and rises to the sky. If you look around you, you can see it prominently, but Anisphere flights often depict a linear orbit. I mean, “fly straight” a lot.
In contrast, Uphilia has a lot of movement like drawing curves. This was the difference between flight by spindle and magic by spindle by magic props.
Anisphere at speed, and Uphilia at control. And since Uphilia, distancing herself from Anisphere, magically responds, Anisphere must pack her distance while dodging this.
Uphilia sets up an arcane shell as she looks at the anisphere that comes accelerating at a distance. There is a thin smile on its mouth.
”... it's a comfortable thing, what about freedom”
The sky is free. With feathers, we can go anywhere. The freedom of the sky suited Uphilia's skin so much that I thought it might have been unnatural before.
That's why I know how horrible the anisphere is. I'm proud to say that I'm obviously better up there controlling my freedom of flight by magic. Yet Anisphere is more ”skillful”.
No matter how fast you lose, it's better to be free to move around small on the empty stage. And if you take a distance, Uphilia thinks you're more in your favor, specializing in battles that take a distance called magic.
Yet there is an irrationality in Anisphere that does not seem to favour it. It makes you lick the bitterness of slowing down speed, predicting the path ahead of time, and packing the distance.
”This is the world Annis was looking at…”
Before anyone else, before anyone else. Like saying this is where she should be.
The idea of Anisphere is a concept not found in this world. Even solitude pushed Anisphere down the road. That's the free stage of the sky, the area of the former untouched.
I remember one day when I flew caught on her back. It was a completely unknown experience for Uphilia, and I remembered a tremor of fear. Even now, maybe it does scare me.
”I can go everywhere... scared! Still, it's fun enough to fill your chest! Anis!”
Haha. Uphilia and the others were the only ones with zero laughter. Oh, from the bottom of my heart I'm having fun, and Uphilia sets up an arcane shell to unleash her uncontrollable mind.
It is the rainbow barrage that the swinging arcane shell draws out. Just a bullet of magic, with a wide variety of attributes. It unleashed like a shotgun.
”Yikes!?”
Anisphere, who was flying toward Uphilia, opened her eyes. If you keep bumping into me, I get a handached attack. Attacks have spread widely to avoid them.
Then. Anisphere slammed her magic into a hand not holding a celestial, a bracelet put on its arm.
”Mana Shields!”
In response to the cry of the Anisphere, a magic shield is formed on the front of the Anisphere. Take the bullet released by Uphilia and the anisphere blows back so that it is bounced.
He glides straight through the sky, turns himself to make a turn on the spot, and flies again towards Uphilia.
”Celestial Ruh!”
Accelerate as Anisphere calls the name of his sword. Instead of heading straight for Uphilia, it seems to pack the distance as you circle.
In the meantime, the magic blade that Celestial was unfolding crystallizes, and its crystals become light again to draw meteor-like trajectories.
”Overedge Separation!”
Celestial's magic blade, swung wide and horizontal, leaves the body and becomes a massive slaughter, approaching Uphilia.
Ufiria spreads her rainbow feathers wide on her back to the rapidly approaching blow of Celestial. Try to stop on the spot and set up an arcane shell, wrapped around a blade crystallized by the arcane shell, just like the Anispheric Celestial, and shaken down with momentum.
”Arcane shell, overedged”
Arcanshell draws a rainbow sword flash so that he can slap Celestial's magic blade in two. But there was a recoil, and Uphilia smiled slightly.
But raise the face that was distorted right up. I notice an anisphere looming in the front of it and open my eyes.
”Gotcha! Ahhh!!”
The reaction is delayed to the anisphere that has stuck his arm in front of him, and Ufiria's arm is grabbed. As it is, the anisphere will accelerate and remain pulled.
The speed at which you can't catch up if you don't even tilt the magic control of Ufiria at all costs. Uphilia's face is distorted by pain as her arms pull up at that speed.
”Damn, ahhh!!”
In a desperate phase, Ufiria ran thunder all over her body. To an attack that applied the magic of the lightning attribute, now Anisphere distorted his face and let go of Uphilia's hand.
Uphilia turns consciousness to the speed and control of flight for that gap. Uphilia will also increase her speed so that she can follow the Anisphere, which was increasing her speed.
If we catch up, we hit each other with a sword to respond, and the side to be chased and the side to be chased are replaced. Visually up, down, left and right, Anisphere and Uphilia bump into each other as they freely fly around.
”Uffi!”
”Anisu!”
It was a smile on the faces of those two. They dance and dance in the sky like they say it's fun and they can't help it.
They were two people in a brilliant aerial battle, but stops moving and stares at each other in the sky, as accidentally indicated.
Sweat flows down my cheek and keeps flowing into the wind. Anisphere packs her distance from Uphilia as she tucks the celestial into the sheath she was lowering to her waist.
”... magic, I've lost the other half”
”... right”
Because this flying magic prop packs a number of functions, it has the disadvantage of poor fuel consumption. It was decided in a prior meeting that this “eyeball” should be stopped after considering the safety aspects.
Uphilia also reaches for Anisphere with Arcane Shell in her sheath. Hands stretched out to each other touch each other, gripping each other to tangle their fingers.
Huh, Anisphere and Uphilia heard a resounding cheer from beneath their feet.
In the castle town beneath his eyes, he waved heavily about whether he was excited to see the two aerial circles dance.
The people of the castle town, the knights, the travellers, the nobles have nothing to do with it. Everyone looks up cheering for Anisphere and Uphilia to envy them.
”... anise”
Uphilia squeezes her fingered hand hard. Anisphere looked at the cheering people and was just quietly zeroing tears.
The popularity of magic props means that the possibilities are open to all so that even in the Anisphere, where magic cannot be handled, the sky can be emptied.
Everyone dreams. Everyone has potential in their chest. I cannot say that there are no difficulties ahead. But now this is the only time everyone was laughing. He cheered loudly and was immersed in surprise and joy from the bottom of his heart.
”... Huh... Huh...!
What enters spreads into the chest of the anisphere. Here's the sight I wanted to fulfill right now.
Ever since I woke up in this world, I've been dreaming about the sight. I was about to give up hope that it would never come true.
Anisphere was always free. I was alone because I was free, because I could go anywhere. But I'm not alone anymore.
I'm not a princess of a stranger, a princess of royal disqualification, or a princess who can't use magic. Now that she's a flying princess, here she is admitted. At this moment, indeed, Anisphere was wanted by the country, by this world.
”Annis, laugh”
”Ufi......”
”Everyone wants you to smile.”
