War V

"Princess!"

Right before she was about to get hit, someone suddenly appeared out of nowhere and wiped out the incoming magic.

"Thank you- Eh? Alice?!" Ena shrieked in surprise.

Alice turned around to Ena, "I already know everything, did you think you could hide things from me?" asked Alice.

"...but how did you get here?" asked Ena.

"I'm not sure, there was this voice in my head that was guiding me, it told me you were in danger so I followed its instructions. The voice disappeared as soon as I arrived," said Alice.

There was only one person Alice was referring to.

'Yue?'

「 Yo! I'm back from helping you out, I've also successfully hidden your existence from Azazel, you'll be fine unless he directly comes to meet you. 」

'That's good since you're done with all that. Can you help me with this?'

「 Hold on, I just finished looking him over. His weakness is the heart, private area, shoulders, and the middle of the chest. There seems to be a small gem providing him strong regeneration abilities. 」

'So there was something else providing him abilities? Then what does the halo exactly do?'

「 The halo allows them to process information very quickly meaning their reaction time will be much superior. Also, when you attack them with one of your abilities, their halo will boost their brain to decipher how the ability works and how to counter it. 」

'That's...that's almost as overpowered as you isn't it?'

「 Don't compare a celestial being to a lower halo, I'm far more strong and my abilities can't be compared to any other system. 」

'Then why don't you prove it to me then? All this time you've been just doing your things instead of helping me directly, you're always working in the shadows.'

「 Are you trying to provoke me? Then you've done it, let me ask you a question. 」

'What is it?'

「 Do you trust me? 」

Ena was confused by this question, of course, she trusted Yue. There hasn't been a time Ena doubted her even though she's been doing her thing in the shadows rather than in the open. But for sure, she trusted Yue wholeheartedly.

'Yes, I do trust you.'

「 Good. 『 Mind-Switch Activated 』 」

Ena felt like she was suddenly kicked out of her body, in reality, she was kicked out. She was in a dark space watching herself in third person view.

'Just what is this?'

「 I'm now possessing you now, just sit back, relax, and watch how I do this. It's been a while since I've been in a physical body. 」

Ena wanted to protest but she felt as if Yue was about to show her something completely insane, which she did. Yue circulated the chi through her body perfectly, hitting all of the vital points which healed the wounds Ena had quicker.

Again, with perfect control, Yue circulated the chi to her legs and burst towards Alex.

"Ena!" Alice yelled.

Ena gave her sister a helpless look from the dark space, she wanted to know how she realized that she was different from usual. Look how much more serious of an expression she had on than her regular self.

But Yue's actions caught her attention once again, it was as if she was learning new things. Yue wasn't wasting any movements at all, they were nimble and covered the distance between her and Alex in a few seconds.

Appearing right in front of Alex, she used her palm to hit Alex's chest which Alex caught. Right, when Ena thought it was all over, Alex's hands suddenly had several holes in them and blood burst out from them.

「 Chi - Internal Rupturing 」

Ena was amazed by Yue once again, being able to pull that off without any preparation was abnormal to Ena. Watching Yue from afar made Ena realize that she still had a lot to learn. All she's been doing was cultivate instead of learning new skills.

「 Don't get lost in your thoughts, keep learning from me. 」

'Hai sensei!'

Ena watched intently from the dark place as Yue proceeded with her attack against Alex.

"Oh? What's this?" Alex asked observing the wounds on his hand, "Interesting, an attack that-" He didn't even get to finish when Yue sent a hard kick on his shoulder which sends him flying left.

With precise control over her chi, Yue was able to completely conceal herself and covered her foot with chi which multiplied the force by a few times. Even when Yue performed all of this, the amount of chi she had didn't deplete at all, Ena's mind was memorizing every detail of what Yue was doing.

"Ena! You shouldn't charge at him like that even if you managed to land a hit!" Alice said running up to Ena.

"Oh, sorry," Yue said in a monotone voice.

Ena's heart dropped, there was another thing she realized. Yue never had any direct interaction with anyone before so she didn't know how to express herself clearly.

"Eh?! Ena! Are you okay?" asked Alice.

'Are we going to switch back?'

「 Of course not, it'll be too troublesome. I'll handle this easily, watch, this is called adaptation. 」

"Yes, I'm fine! Though I'm getting quite dizzy from all this shaking though." Yue said, perfectly copying Ena who was now in awe.

"Oh good, I thought something affected-"

"Watch out!"

Yue created a shield of chi to protect them against the fireball and ice spikes that came at them.

"Let's focus, there's no time to have a leisurely talk right now," said Yue.

"You're right," Alice replied.

"My, my, it's an honor to see both my sisters in battle," Alex said with a smile.

"I'm not your sister anymore Alex, I learned everything you've done and what was happening to you." Alice's voice turned stern and sharp when she said that.

"Haha! No matter what, we're still be related by blood no matter how much you despise it. Time is running out, let's end this shall we?"

"The faster we get rid of you, the better. Ready Alice?"

"As ready as I'll ever be."

"Then come at me and see if you can defeat me!"

Back in the younger days, it used to be Alex and Ena against Alice, but now it was Alice and Ena against Yue.

How the turns have tabled...
