“Uaaaahhhhhh!!!”
Lena let out a beast-like roar as she charged forward.
Fast!
She was like the incarnation of the wind.
I couldn’t follow her with my eyes—by the time I realized it, she had already closed the distance.
It’s hard for me to handle this.
But…
“Too naïve!”
Sofia stepped forward and blocked Lena’s charge.
“Thank you, Sofia.”
“You’re welcome.”
If it’s something I can’t do, I just have to rely on Sofia honestly.
And in return, I’ll show that I can fight as well.
That’s all there is to it.
“Mountain Breaker!”
While Sofia had Lena’s movements restrained, I struck from the side.
Lena glanced at me for an instant.
Holding her magic sword in her right hand, she drew a dagger with her left once more.
Clang!
She slammed the dagger toward me, knocking my sword off its trajectory.
As expected, she’s used to fighting multiple opponents.
It’s like she has twice as many eyes—she has perfect awareness of the battlefield, leaving no openings at all.
But…
“Like hell I’m gonna lose!”
Increasing the number of attacks won’t work.
Thinking that, I reduced the frequency of my strikes and instead unleashed single blows with greater precision and power.
Meanwhile, Sofia went all in on speed—
Executing godlike technique, unleashing three strikes per second, overwhelming Lena with sheer numbers.
“Kh…!?”
Assaulted by completely opposite attack styles, Lena made a bitter face.
I’ve gained enough experience to know—
Facing this kind of attack is a nightmare.
Lena must feel the same. Irritation built up inside her, and her swings grew increasingly wild.
“Here… I… can’t afford…!!!”
“Guh!?”
Then, Lena’s sword suddenly accelerated.
Not just that—it grew heavier too.
She wasn’t even going all out before!?
That’s how much faster she became—turning the entire fight around in an instant.
Even with both Sofia and me together, we were being pushed back.
That’s how strong she really is…?
No, but…
“I… I can never lose again!!!”
A scream that sounded like her very soul was trembling.
Its intensity almost overwhelmed me.
“Fate.”
“…Ah…”
A calm voice called out to me.
When I glanced over, Sofia was smiling gently.
She didn’t speak any words.
But it was as if she was saying, I’m here with you.
Yeah, that’s right.
I’m not alone.
Sofia is here.
The person I love is right beside me.
Just that alone makes a person strong beyond measure.
“Fate!”
“Yeah. Let’s go, Sofia!”
Together with Sofia, I stepped forward.
