“An! The time limit… Is five minutes, right?”
“Yuugo… Are you going to use that!? It’s dangerous! And it’s not complete!”
Yuugo checked with An the time limit he heard the previous day, and An tried to stop him when she realized what he was thinking.
She worried about his well-being as his exclusive technician, but Yuugo responded with a resolute tone.
“I know, but at this rate, one of us is going to die. This might be all I have to stop it.”
“But…!!”
“…An, what is my big brother trying to do? What’s ‘that’…?”
Phi listened to them quietly, but asked that with a worried tone.
Angel’s expression twisted when she glanced at him, and she faced down while shaking her head.
“Miss Angel…? What is going on…?”
“…”
Angel said nothing to Claire either. She was trying to find a way to talk about this.
As everyone felt worried about her reaction, Yuugo faced Isaac and crossed his arms in front of his face.
He clenched his fists hard enough that they could almost hear the bones grinding, and even Isaac, who’s heart was twisted by the magic swords, felt scared by the sharp eyes he saw through the gap between Yuugo’s fists.
“W-what? Don’t even try to bluff. I-I’m stronger than you!!”
He said like a child throwing a fit, and swung his magic swords.
He unleashed magic energy blades, attacking Yuugo as if trying to clear away his fears.
“Die! Die Yuugo scum!!”
“Watch out Yuugo!!” “
Yelled Melt as it seemed the intense attack would hit Yuugo directly.
Yuugo did not block or dodge, and the moment Isaac’s attack hit, there was a big explosion.
“Ha, haha…! I did it! I did it! I win! This duel is mine! Ahyahyahyahayhya! Hya, hya…?”
He felt the attack hit, and laughed loudly at his certain victory.
He brought down the hated Yuugo with his new power, leaving him to laugh triumphantly but… Something strange reached his ears.
“What…? Is there…!?”
Isaac took a step back, feeling a sense of pressure he could not understand coming from the spot where Yuugo stood, which was covered in black smoke.
He was wary of a sudden noise he heard coming from the smoke, that he recognized but did not know where from, and then he noticed something odd.
“Why… Is the smoke black?”
The smoke in front of him was pure black.
If the attack he unleashed raised a cloud of dust, it should be brown. But it was black… It was clearly not right.
Where did the smoke come from? What happened?
Isaac’s mind was full of questions, raising his fear even further, until a roaring sound echoed from the smoke.
“Ha, haha, hahahahahaha…! I get it, I get it…!!”
There was a lot he did not get. What happened? What was that smoke? But he did realize something after hearing that noise.
The source of the sound he recognized… Was flames being ignited.
No, that was not exactly it. It was not the sound of the small flame of a gas stove or lighter being ignited.
This was more like… A jet engine.
The roaring sound of something with intense firepower suddenly expelling flames.
Isaac opened his eyes wide, feeling like giant flames burned inside that black smoke, and the intensity of the crimson shine reflected on them was almost enough to burn them.
“Ha, haha, hahaha, ha… Ha?”
The crimson shine ripped through the black smoke and silently approached him.
Footsteps then echoed, and while Isaac’s eyes focused on the trembling red shine, it appeared.
A completely black armor, with a beautiful crystal in its chest releasing a bright crimson shine.
The magic crystals on the four limbs blinked as if pulsating, and their power kept increasing.
Isaac thought it was both beautiful and frightening.
A low, loud sound echoed again in front of him, and giant flames were expelled from the armor’s neck.
The flames that spewed with the force of a volcano eventually settled into a thin long line… And slowly started to flutter.
It was like a crimson scarf. A deep crimson stole.
When Isaac saw Yuugo in the red armor and the crimson flames, he asked a question with a smile that seemed pasted on his face.
“Ha, hahahahahaha…! What’s that…? What’s with that!?”
“…Sorry Isaac, I don’t have time to explain. This is one of those things used for super quick fights.”
Silently, yet intensely, the now deep crimson eyes part of Blaster turned to Isaac, as Yuugo responded.
Isaac’s body tensed up at the feeling of pressure and threat he could not describe, and Yuugo clenched his fists while kicking the ground.
“Hold on, I’ll stop you right now.”
