123 Have you heard of a man named...
"St-Stay away!!!" screamed Langris as he started to run away from Sekke.
"Oh my, looks like I scared the little bro too much...well sound like a him problem to me," said Sekke as mana gathered in his swords.
[Continuous Flying Slashes]
Sekke started to swing his swords making various mana-charged slashes fly toward Langris.
Lamgris looked back as he felt the mana from the attacks that were coming at him.
He didn't have the time to use his grimoire so he just gathered mana in his hand and swiped it toward the flying slashes easily destroying them and focused back on running away.
"What do you know, he was not that scared of me...then I gotta make him," said Sekke totally forgetting that he was on a timer to destroy the other team's crystal.
"Langris-san!" called Fragil as she came running towards him with the crystal covered in a dome made of ice. She felt the huge amount of mana from Langris's attack earlier and came to check if everything was fine or not but after she saw Langris's bruised and swollen she knew that it was far from fine.
"Y-You why are you here?! And why did you brin the wrystal here as well?!?!" asked Langris in panic in his broken words.
"Langris-san you are injured let me heal you," said Fragil in panic.
Hearing that she could heal him Langris got a bit hopeful and was about to smile.
"She is right Lil' bro. Let her heal you. I still have a lot to show you, so heal up so we can play again." said Sekke in an excited tone.
Langris's face immediately paled and he immediately swatted Fragill's hand away when she started to use recovery magic on him.
"Don't heal me. Don't heal me at all! Wather! Weal with him. I will weep the wrystal safe." said Langris.
"E-Eh? What?! Deal with him? B-But-" said Fragil in panic. She didn't know what she could even do against a man that can even beat Langris so badly.
"Eh? Finding behind a girl? Not very Magic Knightly or manly in my opinion Lil'bro," said Sekke.
"Wuu shut up!!" yelled Langris.
Sekke shrugged his shoulders and waited for the two of them to finish their discussion. He was here to bully the Lil'Bro, not everyone.
After discussing it for a while a determined expression appeared on Fragil's face as she faced Sekke.
"Langris-san, I will try to hold him back for as long as I can. You find and destroy their crystal and deal with the other two members," said Fragil.
"No need for that."
Hearing the new voice Sekke turned back and saw Anna standing there with some minor injuries.
"Hi Anna," greeted Sekke.
"Hello, Sekke-kun." greeted Anna back.
The two smiled at each before Sekke changed his position to look at both sides.
Anna focused back as well and said, "I have dealt with the other two. But the crystal wasn't with them. They have hidden it well."
Sekke smirked after hearing that making Fragil and Langris even more nervous.
"Langris-san you go and find it. I and Anna will hold Sekke-san back," said Fragil making Langris nod and run away along with the crystal without even looking back.
The two girls stared at Sekke who just looked back at them.
"So, you two vs the dark lord. I will fight seriously so keep that in mind," said Sekke as he got ready to attack.
The two girls stared at Sekke as their grimoires started flipping immediately.
[Flame Magic: Incinerate Orb]
[Snow Magic: Snowman's Rage]
Anna shot a giant fireball at Sekke while a giant snowman appeared near Fragil and it rushed toward Sekke.
Sekke's grimoire started flipping as well as mana gathered around him.
[Bronze Creation Magic: Weapon Make- Gaster Blaster]
Two gaster blasters materialized in front of his hands and charged mana. Once charging was done, they fired a mana beam toward the incoming attacks causing them to be destroyed immediately and continue forward without any trouble.
The two girls who saw the incoming attack immediately used reinforcement magic to jump away from their spots as the mana beam destroyed everything in its path.
"That wasn't your best right? If you have any big spells left then it's time to use them now, I don't think that much time is le-"
"15 minutes left!!" declared the announcer informing them about the halftime mark.
"Well, they said it," said Sekke making the two girls frown.
"Looks like I need to use it. Sekke-kun, I will come at you with my full power," said Anna.
Fragil was about to say something but Anna looked at her and said, "Stay back, your ice spell will not work well with mine."
Fragil opened and closed her mouth wanting to say something but stopped once she thought that Anna was right.
"It's fine Anna go all out!" said Sekke with an excited tone. He wanted to see how strong Anna actually was.
Anna nodded as her grimoire started flipping and a huge amount of mana gathered around them.
"That's some mana there..." commented Sekke.
"Yeah, it's really too much....you know what could handle this situation with ease? My absorp-"
'I am not gonna use you today Vritra.'
"Why?! Just use me my other half!! I am itching to fight!!!"
'Then scratch your balls or something. Wait all that mana...just disappeared.' thought Sekke.
"Oh, I know that pattern she is-" said Vritra.
[Flame Summoning Magic: Mystic Firebird]
"-gonna summon something." completed Vritra.
A large magic circle materialized in the air as a huge orange bird radiating a huge amount of mana appeared.
"...Holy shit...F*ck me...A freaking Phoenix...." said Sekke.
"Let me out my other half! Let me out!! I want to fight this!! Our fight will be great!!" screamed Vritra. He really wanted to fight his host's first battle against a Phoenix along with him.
"Sekke-kun, this is my Ignis. I hope that you are ready to fight against her," said Anna.
Sekke didn't say anything but his grimoire started flipping.
A huge happened materialized below Sekke as Sekke stood upon it and got into the air as well.
'...Vritra, I am still not using you. And you know what?'
"What?" asked Vritra in a desperate tone.
"Because this battle will be legendary," said Sekke as multiple Gasters appeared and surrounded the bird.
[Gaster Blasters]
All the bronze animal skulls fired a beam at the same time and it struck the huge bird without any difficulty impaling the bird with giant mana beams.
*Kyui!!*
The bird screeched in pain as the attacks hit her making Sekke look at the bird with a confused look on her face.
"Oh, I forgot that she is still young and needs to be told beforehand what to do..." said Anna as she stuck out her tongue and did a teehee.
"Ignis [Phoenix Heal]" ordered Anna as the bird squealed as a glow came out of its body and soon all the wounds that it had disappeared.
"Good now, attack that man and dodge any attacks that you can," said Anna making the bird squeal once again.
The bird flapped her wings and rushed towards Sekke.
[Bromze Creation Magic: Giant Fists]
Two huge fists made of bronze appeared near Sekke and rushed toward the phoenix with full force.
[Phoenix Flare]
The bird who heard Anna's order spread its wings wide as flames gathered in its mouth.
"That doesn't look good," said Sekke as he felt the amount of mana gathering in the bird's mouth.
Both his grimoires started flipping as the bird fired a sea of flames toward Sekke and his attacks.
[Frost Debuff + Bronze Magic: Dark Lord's Chilling Barrier]
A translucent barrier giving off a chilly aura appeared around Sekke and the giant hand he was standing on as the sea of flames engulfed him while easily destroying his previous attacks.
"...I know that it is a Phoenix...but still, its flames are stronger than that drugged salamander," said Sekke as he felt his barrier being melted slightly by the flames making him use more mana to maintain the barrier.
"It shouldn't be a surprise. The spirit dragon was only a year or two old, while this Phoenix is around 100 years old," answered Vritra
'Didn't Anna just say that it is still young?'
"It's a very young age for the phoenixes," said Vritra making Sekke look at it with a serious look on his face.
The flames soon stopped as the Phoenix looked at its target and got serious once again seeing that the target was still there.
"Looks like I need to use fire countermeasures," said Sekke as Gaster Blasters started to charge mana once again.
The Phoenix who noticed the mana gathering around it looked around and wanted to attack.
"Stay still you huge flaming chicken," said Sekke as his arm transformed to a minimum.
[Paralyze Touch + Bronze Creation Magic: Paralyzing Minigun]
Firing the bullets at the Phoenix that reached it before it could react, the bird's movements got restrained as a few electric sparks came out of its body.
"Now for the big attack"
The gaster blasters moved closer to the Phoenix.
[Frost Debuff: Chilling Gaster Blaster]
All the gaster blasters that were around the Phoenix gave off a chilling aura and fired a strong beam of mana at it, piercing the bird's immovable and making shriek in pain. Thin layers of ice started to form on the bird's body slowly, but surely freezing the Phoenix.
"Ignis!!! [Phoenix Heal]" yelled Anna seeing her summon to be in pain.
A bright light came out of the bird as its wounds started to close.
"Like I am gonna let you," said Sekke as the gaster blasters attacked once again making its wound reappear. A few moments later the whole Phoenix got covered in a thin layer of ice and stopped moving completely and fell from the sky causing the frozen Phoenix to crash into the ground.
"Well, looks like it's done," muttered Sekke.
"...Never thought I will see a frozen phoenix of all things....your debuff magic is unfair," said Vritra.
Sekke jumped down from the top of Bronze hand and landed on the ground and was about to attack Anna before she could try anything else.
"Ignis! [Flame Incarnate]" said Anna in a calm tone and the next instant, the frozen phoenix's eyes started glowing with an orange aura surrounding it.
The next moment the ice around the Phoenix melted and evaporated in an instant and now instead of a physical body, a bird made totally out of flames appeared and glared at Sekke
"...Shit..." muttered Sekke as he looked at the glaring firebird.
Sekke's grimoire started flipping as mana gathered around the Phoenix.
[Frost Debuff + Bronze Creation Magic: Reverse Frozen Magnum Dome]
A dome made of bronze and giving off a chilling aura appeared around the phoenix, trapping the flame bird inside.
[Frost Debuff + Bronze Restraining Magic: Frozen Bronze Shackles]
Shackles releasing a cold aura appeared around the phoenix's flaming talons and neck trying to restrain the bird.
Sekke's mana flared as various cannons appeared inside the dome.
[Chilling Blast]
Frozen Mana blasts started to rain down on the first bird dampening the flames ever so slightly.
"...I know I have a lot of mana but this can be a challenge even for me to blow off the flames of the Phoenix like that," said Sekke with a frown.
Though the two girls didn't know about that and they started panicking.
"Ten minutes remaining" declared the announcer making Sekke frown even more.
"Looks like I need to destroy the crystal to finish all this," muttered Sekke as he stood up on top of another giant bronze hand and got into the air to get a better look.
Soon he spotted Langris who had the crystal with him running around trying to find their crystal.
Not saying anything, his grimoire flipped as a new gaster blaster materialized in front of him and he fired the attack towards the crystal.
Langris who felt a large amount of mana coming towards him immediately used his magic to split apart Sekke's attack.
"You!! Where is your crystal!!! I have searched the whole area!!!" yelled Langris demanding the location of the crystal.
Sekke smirked hearing that and said, "Mother Earth swallowed it."
"...You are a frustrating man," said Langris in anger.
"Thank you," said Sekke as the hand he was standing on started to move toward the spatial mage.
Seeing him coming towards him Langris flinched and started to run away.
"You can run but you cannot hide, Lil'Bro," said Sekke as he sped up.
"This is bad..." said Anna as she focused back on the Phoenix that was trapped inside the dome.
"Ignis! [Million Clover]"
The Phoenix nodded as its whole body started to glow even brighter and the mana around it started to grow larger.
*Kyui!!!*
The bird screeched as it spread open its flaming wings releasing a strong blast of heat all around it, destroying the shackles and the dome causing a huge explosion.
"Ignis, stop using [Flame Incarnate]," ordered Anna as the Phoenix turned back to its normal form.
"Get on, Fragil," said Anna as she jumped on top of the Phoenix and was soon joined by the panicking ice mage.
The bird soon took off and followed Sekke who soon noticed it and sighed and fired another paralyzing bullet at the Phoenix and he fired another one at Anna.
Both of their movements got restrained as the Phoenix started to descend.
Soon Sekke landed near Langris who looked at the dark lord with a frightened expression on his face and started to attack him recklessly.
Sekke didn't do anything and let the attacks cut or make holes in him as he soon regenerated thanks to his [Bronze Magic: Bronze Body-Logia]
"Lil'Bro, let's end this. We don't have much time left anyway," said Sekke as he started walking towards him.
But all of a sudden his vision was blocked as his surrounding turned dark.
"...What the hell?" asked Sekke as he looked around only to see darkness....and felt cold.
[Snow Magic: Eternal Ice prison]
Fragil who looked quite roughed up because of the fall used the last bits of her mana to trap Sekke and soon fell to her knees.
"Find the crystal!!!" yelled Fragil as she glared at Langris
Langris who saw the huge Ice orb blinked in surprise but decided to not test his luck and ran away.
"I need to torture the other two and ask them where the crystal is."
"...So, I am trapped inside an ice ball...No problem, just need to break it," said Sekke as he used his mana to make a temporary light source.
Mana gathered around Sekke's first as he punched the dome with full force making cracks appear on the walls.
Seeing that Sekke smiled but that soon vanished when he saw the cracks repair in an instant.
"Looks like I need to melt it," said Sekke as his grimoire started Flipping.
[Flame debuff magic: Blaze touch]
The surrounding started to get warmed as the ice started to melt, but Sekks soon noticed that more ice kept on forming.
"...That's some exceptional magic, it heals up any damage caused to it....looks like it's finally time for you to use my sacred gear," said Vritra feeling hopeful.
"...No, Vritra. It's time to use that," said Sekke with a serious look on his face.
"What?! No, use me!! Use me!! Use me!!" complained Vritra like a kid.
"Vritra...don't you want to see one of my secret techniques that I told you about?" asked Sekke.
"...The secret techniques that you didn't even tell me about..."
"Yes, those...though I would have liked to be on the other side of the wall to use "that one"." said Sekke as he sighed.
"Why? What will happen if you have used it on the other side of the wall?" asked Vritra.
"Nothing, it would have been just... aesthetically pleasing for me. Well, whatever can't be helped," said Sekke.
"What are you planning to do anyway? This wall repairs itself from any damage you know, so if you don't have a way to break it in one go, then your plan won't work."
"Don't worry Vritra I know that much."
--------------------
Meanwhile, outside the ice prison, Fragil was taking care of Anna who was able to move slightly as the effects of Sekke's spell started wearing off.
"Sekke-kun is really strong," muttered Anna.
She has already sent Ignis back as she was running low on mana.
Fragil looked at the girl and asked, "Is he someone close to you?"
"Not yet, but I want to be the one who is closest to him and help him," said Anna with a straight face.
"Wawawa, so bold! I mean he is strong and good-looking and got the highest number of stars this year....isn't he too perfect?" said Fragil.
"He is... although those things don't matter to me. Even if Sekke-kun wasn't that strong or not a magic knight, I still would have the same thoughts," replied Anna.
But soon she glared at Fragil and said, "Keep your hands away from Sekke-kun or I will burn you to cinders."
Hearing her threat Fragil raised her hands and said, "D-Don't worry I have no such feelings."
Anna stared at her for a while before she focused back on the ice prison.
"What type of spell is that? Sekke-kun is still trapped there."
"Don't worry, no matter how strong your Sekke-kun might be, he cannot break through it," said Fragil with a confident look on her face.
"...I thought the same about my Ignis," said Anna making Fragil's confident look falter for a bit.
"Haha, don't worry Anna-chan. It's very difficult to break through the prison and Langris-san is searching for the crystal. He should be destroying it any moment now." said Fragil raising a huge red flag.
-------------------
Langris was holding a beaten-up Adrian by the collar with a smirk on his face.
"So that's where it is?!"
"Yes!!" said Adrian in a pleading tone.
Langris threw Adrian away and looked at the ground.
"So that commoner wasn't lying when he said that mother earth swallowed it," said Langris. From what he got out of Adrian the crystal was hidden underground by the mud magic user Willie and that was the reason why he couldn't find their crystal.
"No problem I still have enough time to brute force my way and find it," said Langris as his grimoire started flipping.
But out of nowhere, an oppressive force started pushing him down as a look of horror appeared on his face since he recognized the mana of the person who released that said pressure.
--------------------
"That's too much mana that you are using for a single spell," commented Vritra.
"It's a secret technique."
"But what will this spell even do?" asked Vritra.
Hearing his question Sekke smiled since he felt that he has gathered enough mana.
"Vritra have you heard of a man named..."
And immediately a blinding light came out of Sekke's body.
-------------------
Fragil and Anna who felt the amount of mana coming out of the prison walked away and stared at it in horror.
"Sekke-Kun's mana~," said Anna with a blissful expression on her face.
"Monster, he is a monster!!!" yelled Fragil, and in the next instant, cracks appeared on the outside prison walls as they burst open revealing a blinding light making the onlookers shut their eyes close.
"EREN YAEGAR!!!"
Hearing the roar all of them opened their eyes and soon their faces paled as they saw a literal titan made of bronze standing in front of them.
[Bronze Magic: Bronze Body-Titan]
Everyone's eyes opened wide as they saw the bronze giant.
Sekke ignored them though as he soon felt the ki of the Spatial mage.
"Found you Lil'Bro!!" said the Titan in a deep voice making Langris shudder in fear, he wasn't sure what was going on anymore, or how can he deal with the monster.
Titan Sekke raised his hand as a giant piece of bronze formed over it.
Grabbing it with both hands Sekke crushed the bronze into smaller pieces and took a stance.
"W-wait! Do-Don't tell me he is gonna throw that at me?" asked Langris in fear.
"Try to block the ones coming your way Lil'Bro...or you can even die," said Sekke as he threw the fragments of bronze which were still the size of a giant rock.
Langris immediately made a spatial wave in front of him to protect himself but forgot something.
"C-C-Crytal Destroyed!! Winner Team D!!!" declared the announcer as the titan raised both his hand and yelled, "HELL YEAH!!!" and immediately the titan disappeared as Sekke started falling on the ground.
Once he landed he looked at the nearby girls and said, "Ah sorry if I scared you. That was a good ice prison."
But the girls didn't reply and continued to start at him. Soon Sekke noticed blood dripping down their noses and both of them glanced at his lower half.
"...Oh, my clothes got destroyed as well," said Sekke as he looked at his little brother.
Meanwhile, Langris who was attacked just now had a warm liquid flowing down his legs as he soon fell from the shock.
