Irrelevant Fight
Chapter 46
The two elves faced each other in the coliseum, awaiting the approval to start the match, but they didn't have to wait long
Silver: Match start!
Immediately after hearing that they were allowed to start, both Aura and Antilene rushed towards each other
Meeting in the middle, with their scythe and lasso, the collision of the weapons produced a large enough shockwave that it lifted the sand from the coliseum up into the stands, and from the stands, the Supreme Beings were watching closely
Momonga: Bukubukuchagama-san, both {Queen} and {To Your Heart—} are Divine level items right?
Bukubukuchagama: Yeah! Why do you ask Momonga-nii
Momonga: I see, then based on the combat abilities that the scythe is displaying, it should be a Divine class item of the highest tier, only falling short to the {Staff of Ainz Ooal Gown}
Ankoro: Kowai!!! Someone that can create those out of thin air is scary! Good thing she is on our side!
(kowai = scary)
Ulbert: I agree! Though, after this I will have to task the people in the research department to find out what a Spirit is. I remember that Spirit is a racial class! I still have some unused leveling points, so if I become the Spirit of destruction, I would be a true demon lord!!!
Momonga: I agree with tasking the research department on this. We need to find out what a Spirit is immediately, as this can be to the benefit of Nazarick
As the sounds of weapons hitting echo throughout the battlefield, the NPCs of Nazarick started to gather in the stands to watch, as they heard for Mare that there is a new Supreme Being
Bukubukuchagama: Toki-nee already told me a bit about what a Spirit is. Apparently they govern aspects of the universe and aspects of being human. Toki-nee governs fact and time, which are represented by her weapons {Zafkiel} and {Rasiel}. She also states that other weapons like {Zafkiel} and {Rasiel} exist out there, implying that there may be other Spirits
Momonga: Hum… Are there any particular Spirits we should look out for?
Bukubukuchagama: The Spirits I find concerning would be the Spirit that governs power, the Spirit that governs imagination, and the Spirit that governs matter. Though I find all of them dangerous, as we can see how something as ordinary as fact can be turned into such a dangerous weapon
Takemikazuchi: Hoh, this gets my blood pumped up! I wonder how the {God Slaying Emperor Blade} would match up against a weapon that is the representation of power!
Meanwhile the Supreme Beings were discussing about Spirits, Antilene and Aura reached a stalemate! Though Antilene was on the offensive, she was not able to break past Aura's defense, as everything she did would be redirected by Aura's whip. On the other hand, since Aura didn't specialize in combat, she found it hard to go on the offensive against Antilene
This stalemate remained in play until Kurumi was able to regain her consciousness
Rising up from the Supreme Being's shadows, Kurumi found the fight to be getting stale, so she decided to spice things up
Kurumi: Antilene~! Remember! Even though it is Unsigned, it is still an Angel~! Truly bond with it, and you will be able to use its ability!
Hearing what Kurumi said, everyone in the coliseum focused their eyes on Antilene
Antilene: {Evasion} {Greater Speed}
Evading the incoming hits of Aura's bow and whip, Antilene ran to the furthest corner of the coliseum in the blink of an eye in order buy herself some time
Maybe because Antilene was once a Spirit, but as soon as she concentrated her mind onto the weapon she was holding, she instantly knew what to do
Antilene: {Armament Imitation: Zafkiel} {Aleph}
Though the effects were much much weaker, and the Reiryoku consumption was much greater, Antilene managed to imitate Kurumi's Angel with her own, and gain the advantage on Aura
Kurumi: Mou~! I made a new Angel for you so you can explore your identity, not to continue to use mine!
Antilene: Yes mother
Changing her weapon from a gun into a sword, Antilene managed to make it so that her next move was unpredictable, as she would keep changing her weapon after every hit
Kurumi (thinking): This girl! Copying what Ainz did
The changing of weapons continued until both Aura and Antilene were on their last legs
Aura: *Paint* It's over *paint* I am the onee-san
Bukubukuchagama (thinking): Owah! The reason for the fight was just revealed!!!
Receiving strange looks from her guildmates, Bukubukuchagama wanted to melt away and hid in a hole
Antilene: *Paint* No, I *paint* am… Mother *paint* I will need to use it *paint*
Kurumi: Fine~
Antilene: T-hanks {Armament Imitation: Zafkiel} {Dalet}
With this move, all of the Rieryoku in her Unsigned Angel ran out, as an Unsigned Angel imitating an actual Angel is already pushing the boundaries of possibility, but doing it twice was nigh impossible. It was only possible because of the amount of Reiryoku that Kurumi infused upon the weapon's creation
Rewinding time on herself by 1 minute, Antilene gained a bit more stamina
Antilene: I am the onee *paint* san
Momonga: Ha, ha, ha!
Hearing the awkward laugh, both Antilene and Aura turned to face the leader of the Supreme Beings
Momonga: This is what Ainz Ooal Gown is! The friendship and warmth we had in the old days… Anyways, that was a good fight! Aura, I hope this fight taught you the factor of unpredictability, and Antilene. Even though you won, you should listen to your mother more. She is right for you to find your identity, as someone who has their own identity would always prevail against people who copy others. As they say, Gods don't fear people who practiced a thousand moves once, but they do fear someone who practiced a single move thousands of times
Aura and Antilene: Yes! We will take this advice
Momonga: Tokisaki Kurumi. We need to have a long talk after this
Kurumi: Mm~
