Hero of Harmony (Continued)

Chapter 263: Godly Lightning

With every single mercenary having been taken care of by either me, Lazuli, or Vanye, the two of us headed towards the only remaining fight amidst the destroyed and deserted encampment; when we arrived, we saw Vanye fighting against Boss, seemingly at a disadvantage, though neither of us stepped in to help. Lazuli didn't really like Vanye, so I doubted she would willingly help, and I could tell this was something she wanted to overcome by herself, so although slightly reluctantly, I stood at a distance and quietly watched the battle play out.

"She's one amazing swordsman; she makes me look like an amateur at best." Muttered Alexander lightly as he folded his arms while gazing at Vaney, watching in awe as her katana gracefully sliced through the air, leaving not an ounce of motion wasted in her deadly attacks.

"Hmm, I'd still rather fight against her than you... Killing you would be far too difficult." Said Lazuli indifferently as she looked at Vanye before glancing at Alexander, who faintly chuckled while wrapping his arm around her shoulder.

"You've nearly killed me already, so I appreciate you not wanting to do it again." "I was aiming for Yuki. Though I suppose it is good you took the attack, there is a good chance she would've died." Remarked Alexander and Lazuli, respectively, as he gently kissed her cheek while the latter calmly glanced at him.

Shaking my head at Lazuli's words, I suddenly sensed an eruption of mana, causing me to close my mouth as I shifted my focus to Vanye, who was engulfed in reddish-black mana that covered her figure, destroying everything it touched, even her golden prosthetics were slowly being destroyed; the only thing that remained intact was the sword within her hands as the mana coalesced around the blade.

'Yeah, her sword is most definitely of the Mythical rank.' Thought Alexander as he used [Heroes Gaze] and narrowed his eyes at Vanye's sword.

Name: Bor -o Vanye

Rank: Mythical

Description: ???

Since the sword was a Mythical rank, I couldn't completely analyze it, but I mainly just wanted to check its rank, so I was satisfied, though its name was rather weird, if I'm being honest.

"Bor -o Vanye. Huh, weird name." Muttered Alexander softly as he rubbed his chin while gazing at the sword cutting through the air, turning everything it touched into dust.

Despite Vanye's transformation, although she had taken the advantage, Boss wasn't so easily defeated, and so the battle continued to wage on; every swipe of Vanye's blade either destroyed part of his axe, or left a shallow gash on his body, which only worsened from the residue mana that remained. Despite Boss being stronger, this ability of Vanye's was slowly giving her the edge, allowing her attacks to grow fiercer while forcing Boss to be more defensive, which only progressively got worse for him given that, unlike me, he wasn't able to deflect Vanye's swords.

"Vanye's going to win." Said Lazuli blandly as she clicked her tongue while watching the battle, only for Alexander to shake his head with furrowed brows.

"Maybe. She's draining her mana; she won't last like this; if Boss can hold out for a little bit longer, she'll be walking sheep for him." Said Alexander softly with a deep frown as he narrowed his eyes while Lazuli's eyes shone enthusiastically.

"Besides, the clouds up above are doing something weird." Added Alexander lightly as he summoned Zartha into his hand while staring at the dark clouds that blanketed the entire sky, lightning dancing about through the sea of clouds.

Seeing the flow of atmospheric mana surging towards the dark clouds, I leaped into the air, using [Air Step] to practically float high above Vanye as I awaited the lightning bolt that, yet the moment I arrived, the mana vastly increased in intensity while the clouds began to rapidly rotate, creating a powerful storm from absolutely nowhere.
