Elysia in Another World

Chapter 15 - Athanasia P2

Athanasia and Joey took Kye's hand, and the two warped into space. Just as the blonde princess said, there were indeed many more asteroids hurtling toward the planet. The mana she sensed was stronger, too.

"Can you hear me?"

"Yes."

"I've connected us through the system. The NeuraPhone doesn't exist in this era, but I can still make the system perform its functions. Perks of being the system creator."

Kye smirked and Athanasia giggled.

"One moment while I connect the others."

"I can hear you," Sanae said.

"I can, too," Alethea said.

"I can, as well," Joey added.

"Same," Kaede chimed in.

"I'm here," Rei said.

"I'm here!" Sora added enthusiastically.

Kye mentally sighed over the call. "Of everyone that jumped through, I really wish you hadn't, Rei and Sora. You two are to stay with Athanasia. Lily, Ally, are you in this call now, too?"

""Yes, Princess,"" they replied.

"Okay, good. It looks like there is a strong source of mana up here. Do you sense it, Athanasia? It's in that direction." She pointed.

"You may call me Athy. I sense it."

"We'll work our way toward it, and I'll use some grandiose magic to get their attention. If I can make them desperate, they might give away their exact location easier."

Kye held her hand up and formed four orbs of aether that began pulsating. Athanasia watched with curious eyes.

"What is this spell? That pulsating effect is... strangely alluring."

"This might be the first time casting this spell without holding back. Everyone not here, teleport to me. Ally, protect Athy, Rei, and Sora with your void magic. Joey will stay with me in weapon form. Alethea, Sanae, and Liliana... probably stay behind me for now. Everyone not here."

Everyone else appeared behind her and quickly set up their defenses before Kye loosed her spell. "Go! <<Detonation>>!"

Kye flung her hand forward and the pulsating orbs flew into the distance. With her other hand, she created several more mana orbs, colored black but with a white aura around them.

"Now! <<Singularity>>!" The black and white orbs flew off into the distance, but to either side, rather than directly toward the incoming asteroids.

"Wow..."

First, the Detonation triggered. It was far more massive than any Kye had ever cast.

"In truth, the Detonation was only used to earn the enemy's attention. While it will push the asteroids around a little, what will have the biggest impact are the Singularities. The gravity they generate will pull at the asteroids out of their intended trajectory."

Just as she said, the asteroids passed by them harmlessly, each having no chance of impacting the planet. Her plan worked better than she expected. Almost immediately after the last asteroid passed by, a huge burst of mana hurtled toward them. Kye narrowed her eyes and held out her hand. Jouten appeared, and she intercepted the burst of mana. A man with a sword clashed with her. His face was riddled with shock when his impact did not push Kye back in the slightest.
