Endless World

Lina then advanced again towards the fast frejar, and it also came towards her.

The two were getting closer to each other, but in the middle of the way, the fast frejar changed direction and started going towards Gen, and the frejar with the wind essence did the same.

Seeing this, Lina thought, 'It looks like they realized that Gen is stopping the fast frejar and decided to get rid of him first.', and then she said, "Not so fast."

She then threw her sword towards the fast frejar. However, it sped up even more, dodging her sword, and seeing that, Lina thought, 'Damn, that wasn't his top speed.'

She then started to turn around and said, "Gen, watch out, they-", but in the middle stopped as she looked at the fast frejar.

Lina was startled. On the side of the fast frejar was her sword. It had gotten quite into it, which caused it to stop running.

She then thought, 'What happened? My sword shouldn't have hit it ... I wonder if that has something to do with Gen's essence?'

Seeing the fast frejar injured, the frejar with the wind essence howled upwards and then started to head towards him.

Lina saw this and got in its way and said, "If you want to help your friend, you're going to have to go over my head."

Seeing her in front of it, it began to summon wind to its feet, and then it started to walk across the sky, past Lina, and towards the fast frejar.

Lina saw this and said, "You weren't giving it your all, too? What's going on here? Were you playing with me? And when I said to go over my head, I didn't mean literally!"

Gen then started laughing, "Hahahaha."

And Lina said, "What's so funny, Gen?!"

"Hahaha, cof cof."

"Hey, Gen, that's enough. If you keep laughing like an idiot, they're going to run away. Didn't you say you wouldn't let them get away?"

"Don't worry, they won't get away."

The wind frejar arrived at the side of the fast frejar and then summoned some wind to be able to carry it, and then it began to fly with its friend at its side.

Lina then said, "Gen, do something. They're going to run away.", but as she looked in the direction Gen was standing, she realized that he was no longer there, and then thought, 'What? Where is he?'

She then started to look for him, and after a while, she found him. He was right underneath the frejars that were beginning to fly away.

Lina then thought, 'How did he get there so fast?'

Gen then said, "Where are you going?", and thought, 'It's the first time I'm using this. Will it really work, Dehji?'

'It's not the first time, Gen. You already used it once in the bar. You need to remember that feeling.'

'Okay.'

Gen then closed his eyes and began to speak very quietly, "My core is my world, and my world is endless."

Gen then opened his eyes and said, "Endless world!"

A wave then came out of him, and it then passed through the frejars and Lina.

After the wave passed her, Lina realized that she could no longer see Gen or the frejars, and then thought, 'What has Gen done? Where are he and the frejars?'

She kept looking for a few seconds until, at one point, Gen appeared at her side and said, "Come, Lina, we have to finish them off at once."

And Lina said, "What was this that you did, Gen?"

"Lina, I can't keep this up for long, so we can't waste any time. I'll explain it to you later.", and then he reached out his hand to her and said, "Let's go."

Lina then took his hand and said, "Okay. Let's get it over with."

Gen started walking in one direction, and Lina followed him. After a few steps, they arrived where the frejars were, and Lina could see that the frejars were flying, but they weren't moving.

Gen then said, "Come down.", and then they appeared on the ground in front of him.

The frejars were startled to see what was happening, and the frejar with the wind essence began to create several bursts of air and hurled them toward Gen and Lina, but halfway through, the air bursts just stopped moving, to the point where they began to fade away, and then disappeared.

Gen then said, "Lina, it's up to you now. I'm using up a lot of energy to keep this space."

Lina then said, "I'm on it.", and then moved towards the frejars, but the wind frejar started howling, and then a hurricane started surrounding it and the other frejar.

Lina saw this and kept going towards them. She tried to hit the hurricane, but when she put her sword against it, it was as if she was trying to hit an iron wall.

She then said, "What now, Gen? Can't you get rid of this hurricane?"

And Gen said, "... I can, but after that, they'll be free again."

"Okay, give me some time then.", and then she closed her eyes and began to concentrate while holding her sword with both hands.

As time passed, her sword took on a different hue, the black blade turned red, and around it, something like an aura began to appear.

Seeing this, Gen thought, 'Looks like Lina can already imbue her essence into her weapon. It won't be as easy as I thought to deal with her after this is over.'

Lina then said, "I'm ready."

"Okay, I'll let you know when you should go."

"Okay."

Gen then closed his eyes briefly and, after a while, looked toward the hurricane that the frejar had made.

He then used his left hand to make a circle in the air in front of him, which generated a stream of air in the shape of a circle.

He then looked inside this circle and could see the hurricane made by the frejar.

He then raised his right arm above his head vertically and stood like that for a few seconds until he said, "Now Lina!", and then he lowered his arm like a sword ready to cut the world in half, saying, "Endless End."

Lina then put her sword back and threw it with all her might, saying, "Go, Thorn of the Rose!".

Lina's sword then started to go towards the hurricane, and just as it was about to hit it, the circle Gen had made in the air broke as if it had been cut in half, and then the hurricane that was surrounding the frejars vanished, clearing the way for Lina's sword.

Seeing this, the wind frejar invoked gusts of air in the direction of the sword, trying to change the direction of the sword, but as they touched the sword, the gusts were being cut off, and they could not even change the direction of the sword.

The sword then arrived in front of the wind frejar and was about to hit it when suddenly a loud noise came out of nowhere and caused the sword to change direction and hit the ground next to the wind frejar.

Gen and Lina both covered their ears, and the frejars looked up.

Lina then asked, "What's that noise?!"

And Gen said, "I don't know, it sounds like a howl.", and just after saying this, a shadow fell from the sky behind the two frejars.

The shadow was twice the size of the frejars, and upon taking a closer look at what it was, Lina said, "Another frejar?"

The huge frejar looked at the two smaller frejars, and saw the injured fast frejar. It then licked the wound of the fast frejar, and the fast frejar started to make some noises as if it was complaining.

The huge frejar then raised its head, looked at Gen and Lina, and seeing this, Gen said, "Lina! We have to get out of here."

And Lina said, "I know!"

"Come to me. It's going to cost me all my energy, but I can get us out of here."

"Okay."

Lina then started to run towards Gen. However, upon seeing this, the huge frejar looked at the two and then roared toward them, "ROAR!"

The roar generated a massive wave of sound that came toward the two of them, and when they saw this, they both turned pale.

Gen then started to run towards Lina and caught up to her when the roar was very close. He then reached out his hand to her, and she reached out and took his hand.

Gen then began to prepare to get out of there, but as he looked at the sand that the sound wave was raising, he knew that he wouldn't have enough time to escape, so he pulled Lina close to him and hugged her tightly.

Lina then asked, "What are you doing?! Let go of me!", and Gen then looked at her and smiled.

He then looked in the direction where Raja and Stanley were fighting, closed his eyes for a few seconds, and then said, stepping over, "Endless step.", and just as he finished speaking, he was hit in the back by the sound wave and then disappeared from where he was.
