He was indeed very strong.
Seiji thought as he fought fiercely with his opponent.
The game during the Winter Snow Festival was truly just a game. If he had fought against Naruo Yashuu back then, it was highly likely that he would have lost.
The Ice Fan Cardinal that was nimbly shuttling through the air was also very powerful. Her dual guns and rapid blade attacks were quite threatening.
As a human puppet, Shinobu Miaki wasn't as agile as Seiji. However, the fact that she didn't need buffering made her movements rather difficult to predict. It was highly likely that Seiji would be hit by her sword if he wasn't careful.
Akatsuki Mitarai only had to summon four black pillars, yet he was able to fight evenly against Natsuya, who was using the power of the school's spell formation. It could be seen from this that Akatsuki's mastery of spells was quite high.
This was a very powerful opponent.
But we are stronger! Something flashed in his eyes as he used his shield to defend against another wave of attacks from Yashuu.
In midair, the Ice Fan's twin spears flickered with flowing light, shooting a torrential rain of spirit bullets towards Hitaka, covering his surroundings.
Then, she chanted an incantation, and all the spiritual bullets exploded! At the same time as the impact was caused, many miniature formation diagrams bloomed.
Aerial Kill, "Shattering Bullet Blade"!
Ice Fan's two pistols were held together as she continuously shot out red Arc Blades. After the Arc Blades entered the formation, they repeatedly shot out at high speed. In the blink of an eye, the red-haired figure that was trapped within the formation had been dealt over a thousand times of damage.
The figure was cut into pieces … but there was no blood at all!
The real Hitaka flashed to the left of the ice fan, the blade in his right hand gathering light as he suddenly struck out with a powerful blow!
Bam! Bing Fan used the blade of her spear to block the blade. She turned around and wanted to shoot again, but her vision was suddenly covered by a black shadow!
Ghost Cover, "Shadow Cage"!
It was the Soul Manipulation Spell released by Rona. It didn't have any destructive power, but it could block the target's vision.
Ice Fan immediately fired randomly, activating a protective spell to break the curse, only to find that there was no one on the other side.
Hitaka rapidly descended from the sky. His sword glowed even more brilliantly than before, and with a sharp whistle, he slashed down at Yashuu with all his might!
Yashuu sensed this and was about to dodge.
Ice Imprisonment!
Seiji used a precise control skill to lock him in place.
Hitaka's blade arrived in the blink of an eye.
Fierce Bite of Sharp Teeth!
Boom!! Yashuu was knocked to the ground, and his protective barrier was severely damaged.
Ice Calamity Blade!
Seiji decisively followed up with another fierce attack. The long saber in his right hand slashed down with a biting cold air, and many spiritual blades pierced through the air!
Yashuu's protective barrier completely collapsed. His body was pierced by three spiritual blades, and he screamed in agony.
At this time, Ice Fan's support shot arrived, but it was already too late.
Hitaka dodged the bullets.
Seiji raised his shield to block the attack. He suddenly sensed danger.
A black and red figure suddenly appeared on his side, and the puppet girl swung her twin swords at him!
Shield Block: Ksitigarbha Style!
Bang! Seiji steadily blocked Shinobu Miaki's ambush attack and dissipated the power of her attack into the ground. Several cracks appeared under his feet.
Ghost Dance "Blade Feast"!
The puppet girl's figure flashed as she slashed at high speed from all directions!
Bullet Time, activate!
Seiji calmly blocked and dodged all the slashes.
To the bystanders, he was using the most precise movements to defend against the berserk sword attacks. It was so exciting that it seemed like he was dancing with a berserk demon.
On the other side, Hitaka and Rona teamed up against Ice Fan.
Sharp Teeth "Area Bite"!
Hitaka's entire body glowed red and instantly split into five red shadows. All of them wielded sharp blades and attacked his opponent!
Demonic Mist "Cat Dance"!
Rona's entire body was covered in red mist. She instantly transformed into multiple mist shadows that all transformed into cat forms and charged at her opponent!
Air Formation "Moon Wheel"!
Ice Fan's entire body transformed into a white light as she raised her spear and spun around at high speed. Her spear seemed like a bright full moon!
For a time, light and mist interweaved as sword shadows pierced through bullets. The scene was chaotic, yet it also had an indescribable sense of beauty and devilishness.
Then, the moon disappeared and Ice Fan collapsed.
Hitaka and Rona immediately turned around and went to support Seiji.
A red light flashed in Shinobu Miaki's eyes as she speedily retreated to avoid being surrounded by the three of them.
"Amazing."
Akira Mitarai's voice rang out.
Even though two of his Spirit-branded Retainers had been defeated, he didn't seem to care at all. He still had a smile on his face.
"No wonder you dared to duel me, Summer Night … so you had such power. Not bad at all.
Especially Haruta -san. Your power level forced me to take back the title of 'trash.' You're amazing. "
The dark blue-haired handsome boy even clapped his hands.
"I sincerely praise you. I apologize for underestimating you before.
Now, as long as you defeat me, you'll win … come over here. "
Seiji opened his arms and made a welcoming gesture.
Seiji furrowed his eyebrows and looked towards Summer Night upon seeing Seiji's reaction.
Summer Night had a serious expression.
Two of the enemy Spirit-branded Retainers had been defeated, while all of his own were still alive. Logically speaking, victory was already within his grasp. However, her expression didn't seem like she was about to win at all … just what was the problem?
"Those four black pillars are powerful spiritual artifacts." Summer Night's voice sounded in his ears. "Don't rush over yet."
Black pillars … Seiji looked towards his opponent again.
"What exactly are those?" he asked.
"They should be some sort of 'spiritual pillar.' I can't tell what it is exactly. I only know that they're incredibly sturdy and contain an incredibly powerful amount of Mana. From the very beginning until now, I've been fighting against him with spells, but I couldn't do anything … "
"So, you're saying that those four pillars have the same level of power as the school's spell formation?" Seiji raised his eyebrows in surprise.
"Something like that … at any rate, don't rush over recklessly."
"Then what should we do?"
Something flashed in Summer Night's eyes.
"I'll cast a powerful spell to deal with the spell formation. You need to be highly focused and protect me."
"Understood."
Seiji, Hitaka, and Rona moved closer to Summer Night and formed a defensive formation.
"You're not coming over? Heh heh, that's a wise choice. "Akira Mitarai chuckled." It seems that you're not foolish enough to believe that you've truly won. "
Seiji retracted his smile as an icy glint appeared in his eyes.
"That was just a warm-up. This is the official beginning."
Right after he finished speaking, two of the black pillars started glowing blood-red. Complex spell formations and runes appeared on them.
The collapsed Yashuu and Koogi were enveloped by a blood-red mist that appeared out of nowhere.
"Let me show you the true power of my creation."
Following a classic villain's line, two balls of blood-red mist slowly rose into the air, accompanied by a bone-chilling howl!
Seiji and the others had an ominous premonition.
Soon, the two balls of blood-red mist exploded, revealing Yashuu and Koogi who had transformed.
Their bodies were covered in strange black crystals, as if they were wearing a mystical armor. Blood-red light could faintly be seen flowing within the crystals. Seiji could also hear what sounded like heavy breathing. It was rather eerie.
Rona's cat ears perked up, Hitaka's expression tensed up, and Seiji furrowed his eyebrows.
They could all sense that these two had become dangerous … it was as if they were watching an ordinary boss monster transform into a high-level elite boss monster.
Spell formation breaking spell, [Heaven's Gathering Blade]!
Summer Night cast a spell, causing a gigantic dark red spiritual blade to materialize in the air. Numerous miniature spell formations appeared around it in an orderly fashion, giving it a domineering aura.
The next instant, the gigantic spiritual blade shot towards its target!
Akira Mitarai didn't react in the slightest when he saw the formation-breaking blade attack him.
* Boom!!! *
A gigantic black-purple claw caught the gigantic spiritual blade in midair!
