Really, Why Do I Have To Do This 2

Clang-!

Break-!

Suddenly, Arthur emitted a strong shockwave that sent the ground around him flying in the air as the world tremors.

His natural green eyes glowed, replaced permanently into yellow that was slightly similar to gold. The air around him, like mana, fluctuated uncontrollably. It became thicker, making the enemies, including his allies, have a hard time breathing.

-Shrieek!

Not only that, yellow lightning began to appear in the air, causing his hair to stand as it cascaded in the air due to the strong gust of breeze.

"Grrr....!!"

Gritting his teeth tightly, Arthur endured the painful electricity that enveloped around his body for a couple seconds before finally able to relax his shoulders.

After this painful experience, he took in a deep breath and raised his right hand forward. The mana around him began gathering around his hand, creating what seems to be a vortex.

Everything that happened next was fast. Only he and his real opponent were able to follow his movement.

"Haaaaaaaa!"

Pressing his foot deeply, the ground beneath cracked apart as Arthur propelled his body forward towards the girl.

"Hee...."

The girl scoffed, dodging his attack easily, without wasting any of her movement, by just leaning her head to the side while both of her eyes were closed.

"This is the end." The girl spoke, gathering black particles in the air as she aimed her palm towards Arthur's abdomen.

"!!?"

She was about to touch Arthur's clothes when he suddenly vanished, leaving an afterimage of him from his place.

"Interesting..."

As if sensing him from behind, the girl crouched down and grinned after dodging his attack by a hairbreadth.

If she were to get hit by him with his attack, Arthur was only half sure that he'll be able to cause any sort of damage. Though, there's still a possibility, so it's better than nothing.

When his arms passed her head, she rolled forward and threw herself up towards Arthur to kick him.

"Guh-!!"

Arthur had barely enough time to dodge. Her heels directly hit his stomach, causing him to spit out blood from mouth.

"Arthur!!"

Lumine tries to go towards him, but stopped herself upon noticing him grinning.

"Crazy... I'm crazier than you think I am!" Arthur shouted, ignoring the pain from his body as he grabbed her left leg.

Fuuuu-!!!!

It was then, they finally noticed the trail of all elements gathering within his whole right arm. The yellow lightning was replaced by black, the air element strengthening the fire element with oxygen, and many more.

"It's your defeat...!"

He clenched his fist, his eyes brightening up as the sun's ray hit it. As for his enemy, instead of panicking, her lips widened into a grin.

[Impact Hurricane]

BAAAAAAAAAM-!

At the first phase, the vortex that was covering Arthur's whole arm exploded, causing the ground to tremor as the shockwaves following threw everyone aside.

Then...

-Shuuu!

The second phase happened. The bright light began to get little by little until it formed a fairly big white circle. Inside this circle, it was Arthur and the girl.

"Everything comes with a..."

Before Arthur could finish his chant, the woman grabbed his neck and leaned forward.

"You know, you can't kill me using such tactics."

[Dark Gathering]

After sucking him dry, she blasted him away like it was nothing, causing the second phase of his attack to abruptly stop.

"You're still weak.... How pathetic, do you really think you can defeat me with that power?" She walked forward, the ground beneath her shook as she do so.

"Still... I'll give you the honor to tell you my name."

Arthur was being held by the girls from both sides, as Leigh stepped forward while he was covered in blood. He raised both his hands, summoning a thick barrier using all of his remaining mana.

The woman didn't stop walking and merely raised her hand forward to touch flick the barrier to shatter it.

Break-!

"My name is Cossette Sou Satella. Nice to meet you, Hero Arthur."

Upon noticing the shadow towering up in front of him, Arthur used his remaining strength to look up. He wanted to speak but no sounds came out his mouth.

.... Should he give up?

While he was thinking about this, Cossette let out a chuckle and raised her hands, aiming it towards her men.

"Hey Arthur, the second phase of your attack is like this, right?"

"...!!?"

Black particles began gathering her whole arm. With a grin, she blasted the vortex away towards the army.

BAAAAAAAAAM-!!!!

By the time everyone opened their eyes, they saw... Nothing.

Everything was cleared into nothingness.

The army, the grass, the cloud from the sky... it all disappeared.

"...What?" Lumine had her mouth spread wide open like the others, including Arthur himself.

...She copied my attack!?

This was the first time he ever encountered such enemy. Just what element is she using?, he thought to himself.

While laughing at their reaction, Cossette turned her attention behind the group. She said, "The door is open."

They slowly turned their head around and saw that it was really open.

By the time, they turned their attention back to her....

"Where... Where did she go?"

She was gone.

(Athan POV)

Before the man could even touch her wrist, I spoke up and smiled.

"Let's go home, sister."
