”Man, this is really tough.”
The young woman heaved out a sigh of frustration, her hands placed on her waists and her eyebrows furrowed together as she tried contemplate on how to defeat the demon in a much easier way, which was definitely a stupid idea to come up with since there was no other plan to defeat him than attacking him. The attack she landed previously appeared to take a huge toll on the monster that it’s size shrunk to the dimensions of a normal human. One would consider that the decrease in size was an advantage and it really was, however, the size doesn’t decrease the power he has within himself. Upon catching sight of a ‘thumbs up’ from Pein, the pink-line of her cupid-bow lips twitched upwards at both ends in return, her cheeks slightly flushed.
The appearance of the demon was rather eccentric, completely deep scarlet instead of blue. The demon apparently got struck hard by her spell, she could see burnt patches here and there on its body. Despite how he became as fragile as glass, its persistence was as strong as before. The demon emit another loud roar before a beam of water blasted towards them. Swiftly, the lightning mage would duck without any hesitation causing the blast to miss her and Pein, passing onto the building behind them. The hard strike was strong enough make the building collapse upon them, throwing them away into a distance by force. Before she could do anything, she was already in the arms of her boyfriend been taken to safety and secured in his arms.
With her eyelashes closed, Hika felt the warmth from his body soothing her although the world outside was a complete opposite; a chaos. The woman fluttered her eyes open only to see Pein in a transparent form.
What?! Her eyes immediately widened as she pushed herself upright when her eyes witnessed wings sprouting from his back and drifted away above her.
What happened? Did he die by the pieces of buildings falling from him? The form that Pein was in currently was extremely confusing, she could not understand. As much as she wanted to figure things out and solve it quickly, she could not waste spending any more time. She needed to defeat this demon and save Pein. Hika could still feel herself linked to Pein, and she was aware that Pein still had breath in his body. Perhaps, it was the soul link that caused him to turn invulnerable.
Blue orbs glided down onto her hands and body which were surging with energy and power.
Did the soul link cause this? She pondered before balling her hands into tight balls.
”God’s Pillars.”
She murmured, her voice being nothing but a silver of a husky contralto. The grounds began to rumble upon the casting of the spell before huge pillars pushed themselves upwards from the ground, pointing high into the sky. Zaps of electricity formed around the pillars creating an invisible wall that engulfed around the body of the demon. The demon apparently seemed to be surprised by the peculiar pillars and walls that were established around him. As dumb as he was, the demon tried to break through the wall, only ending up hurting himself from the explosion that was caused. Dark eyelashes batted closed, Hika placed her hand over the other and rested it against her chest. Upon doing so, bolts of lightning began to fall upon the demon, shocking him with electricity, burning him at the same time, that it caused him to lay sprawled on the ground from the magnificent power.
