Phase 49: Reginleif II

Phase 49: Reginleif II

[Transfield - Icicle Plains]

[4:44 PM]

"Shall we dance?"

Having a confident calm voice Erylle made a provocative pose to the wyvern in front of us. She was slightly...no, much beautiful than before. Is it because of the Heavenly Blade Reginleif she's holding? Or is it because she finally said that she loved me? Anyways, I'm on my knees, unable to move any part of my body. My eyes, they're starting to blur. I'm completely helpless in this situation.

After a single wind blew, Erylle immediately dashed forward, making an unbelievably blinding speed that reached the wyvern in a split second. The wyvern noticeably gave a wide cold stare, being surprised and scared at the same time.

"How did you-"

Making an arc, the gorgeous blonde lady swung her white sword to her left, following a reverse hack, and spinning her body to gain momentum to make a smash within a second. Luckily, the fighting instinct of the wyvern made her block those attacks with her left wing which made it tattered like a school paper being chewed by a dog.

Finally, we made a fair damage to that arrogant creature.

"AAAAAARGH!!! H-How did you-"The wyvern shouted, now jumping back a few meters from its original position. "I-Is it the Heavenly Blade?!!"

Giving a smug, Erylle slightly rotated her head, staring at me on her peripheral vision with an affectionate aura. Seeing her smile like this makes me want to jump with joy, but my body refuses to do so. This is her first time smiling at me with a blush...after she confessed.

"This is the power of Yohan's love for me. You prostitute lizard, you don't know what love feels like, right?"

Being slightly irritated by hearing those, the wyvern tried to fly away but it ended up crashing on the thick snow. Erylle made that blinding flash again, teleporting herself a meter away from the fallen monster. The wyvern immediately swung its tails, hitting nothing but air. Erylle already jumped out and tried to make a heavy blow, but then the wyvern stepped back, making the exchange of attacks useless.

The wyvern turned to me and gave a breath of flame, but Erylle already anticipated that. With her wrist bow, she channeled a spell. The tornado surged to the thick sea of flames, changing its point of impact.

"<Aero Twirl!>"

That's not it. She immediately teleported to the enemy's right cheek and hit it hard with a spinning kick that made the fallen wyvern flinch. Erylle then made a step back, swung her sword to the right, which glowed gold. Then she shouted-

"<Tachyon Blitz!!!>"

A flash of light followed by a loud crash came in. It's hard to see anything, but... after two seconds the light faded out. The wyvern remained stiff, while Erylle was now a few meters away from the back of the wyvern. She was stiff too, eyes closed and pointing her sword in the opposite direction where the wyvern is. That <Tachyon Blitz> is a new spell, probably one of the abilities of the Reginleif.

"H-How..."

The wyvern slowly disintegrated to a pile black sand, mixing it with the white snow of the surroundings. But on top of it, is the Cursed Guardian; Emily, having her left shoulder oozing with black blood. Her left face too, was soaked in black blood. That pitiful look of hers doesn't make me feel sorry, though. She put us in a lot of trouble.

"D-Damn you Fontaine!"

Not learning her lesson, the vampire clenched her remaining useful arm, and swung her hand to Erylle's direction. Hundred spikes came flying towards Erylle's direction, but then she effortlessly deflected all the spikes using the white sword, swinging it in all angles in a breakneck speed.

Then Erylle made that dazzling dash again. After she gained a half meter distance from the vampire lady, she pointed her sword towards the vampire lady's chest and pushed it with both of her hands. Black blood oozes everywhere; on her chest, her mouth, her eyes, and on her back. The vampire ladies eyes widened, signaling her last moments in life.

"Y-You d-dud..."

Her arms tried to reach Erylle's face, but then it became steady as a rock. Her complexion also changed being much darker as the night. The vampire lady's body slowly converted into black charcoal like monument, and slowly evaporates into the air in a form of ashes.

Standing up as the victor of the battlefield, Erylle appears to be crocked. She let go of the Heavenly Blade which converted into gold dusts that danced within the thin atmosphere. She looked at me with a smile at her face, then...

Ploof! She fell to the thick snow helplessly.

"E-Erylle!"
