Soul Resonation. A phenomenon that allow a person to learn experiences from a previous life by letting them possess you. By normal circumstances, this can only be accomplished through magecraft. However, I, like my father, experience it through a near impossible circumstance. By meeting and interacting with a potential alternative self, Subaru and I, we gained the Assassin of Pride, Subaru Natsuki's experience, and knowledge.

Since that war, we have not truly utilised all that experience and knowledge, either because we forget or because we didn't see it relevant to remember. Finally, something seemed nostalgic enough for a piece of experience and knowledge to resurface, specifically a spell of the Assassin.

《'Uzumaku!'》

{Die Blumen beschützen mich
(the Flower doth protect me)}

I felt yin magic swirl around me and pull me forward. It was a strange sensation. It was like teleportation yet not. I felt as if I were moving all while being moved. I ran, or were moved, towards Meili at super high speeds, the explosion of fiery magical energy heading towards her imminent. I instinctively knew that Uzumaku would not let me stop until I reached 'point B', so I had only one chance to save her. Knowing that I couldn't stop, I grabbed onto the back of her coat, pulling her along as I moved. When I reached point B, I quickly caught Meili so that she wasn't sent flying by the sudden speed before turning around and holding out my hand.

'Eine Blume blüht in meinen Händen
(the Flower doth bloom by mine hand).'

"Aias der Telamonier!
(in the name of Aias)"》

Five sakura petals formed in front of us protectively. The attack impacts the ground, and all hell cuts loose.

A great white hot flame emerged, scorching everything in a large radius. Snow melted instantly. Water vapourised instantly. The air became as dry as rock, and oxygen was all consumed by the flame. Trees turn into ash in an instant. Rho Aias bubbled and began to melt as the intensity of the flame overwhelm it. I poured more power into the spell, reforming it anew over and over again until all the heat vanished.

《"Haaa ahhhhh haaaa..."》 I fell to my knees, sweating and gasping for air.

《'What... the hell...?'》 I thought, shocked by the sheer power of the flame. Roswaal was someone known for his mastery of fire magic, earning himself the title of "red." But this? This overshadowed Roswaal's Al Goa. The weight, power, and destructiveness of the flame were something that I have only seen servants such as Arjuna produce. Then I remembered something.

《"Ai! Angelica! Beatrice! Fou! Azura! Are you all okay!?"》 I shouted as I quickly looked at Meili to see if she was okay. I noticed that she was in shock, but besides that, she had no burns or wounds.

"W-we are a-alright nii-chan! Angelica-nee saved us!" I turned towards the direction of Ai's voice and saw that the girls and phantasmal beasts were unscathed. Both Subaru and I let out a sigh of relief. However, that relief quickly vanished as a presence approach and landed at the scorched ground.
