*********** ************** *********** **************** **************
The first reaction of the soldier as he saw the black orb shine was to throw it away, or so he wished, but it was already too late.
The black ball had started to absorb his hand as it began to grow. Slowly he began to feel his arm being pulled in the sphere, dragging him inside and eating him as it kept growing.
The man cried for help as he realized the situation he was under, creating a commotion as his comrade ran toward him believing it was an enemy attack. However, after seeing the bizarre situation, none of them dared approach him.
The orb kept growing bigger and bigger, absorbing not only the man but the air around him.
After a few seconds, the orb had totally absorbed the man, stopping his cry for help. Only the orb remained as it kept growing...5 feet, 10 feet…
Seeing the black sphere gaining in volume, the soldiers around fled before the strange phenomenon as they couldn’t do anything about it.
Once the orb had reached a size of 40 feet, the vacuum it created was strong enough to pull the soldiers around directly inside, yet it didn’t stop and kept growing.
60 feet...80 feet… 150 feet, seeing the giant orb and the commotion raised by the soldiers cry, not only the army but Elorgia was also aware of the disaster occurring.
Absorbing the tents around, the soldiers, the air and the trees close by, the orb was similar a black hole; eating everything it could as it grew. Once the orb had reached a size of 500 feet, the black sphere stopped growing but kept on eating everything around it.
Only, it started to spin, rotating faster and faster as the vacuum it made kept growing stronger and stronger.
In the camp, the soldiers felt like they dropped in hell as they desperately tried to run away, but even with all their efforts, the closer of the orb were pulled as the vacuum became stronger.
Five minute had passed since the orb stopped growing, it was now spinning like a tornado and had absorbed everything it could around it; even the ground around the sphere was mercilessly absorbed.
Slowly, the rotation of the orb became slower and slower until it had completely stopped, at the same time the vacuum had stopped as well.
Not only the Theristid’s soldiers, but Elorgia’s soldier on the ramparts were looking at the now immobile sphere with fear as they saw the damage it had produced.
Although the black orb had stopped killing people, nobody dared to approach it and tried to run as far as they could.
Suddenly on the sphere, cracks appeared, propagating on the whole sphere. As they saw this phenomenon, they all shared the same though ‘It isn’t finished !’.
The sphere shattered, releasing everything it had absorbed, all the compressed air, the soldiers body, the earth and rock around… It was an explosion.
Within five kilometers, the shock wave produced had sent not only the soldiers flying but also shattered the earth under the tremendous shock..
Even if they weren’t hurt, the soldiers of Elorgia who were situated more than 30 kilometers away still felt a strong wind caused by the explosion.

Not only the troops, but Shina was also in an awe as she looked at the carnage. With only a single spell, Shina had killed around 50 000 soldiers.
Even her was surprised by the black orb’s power as the first time she had used it, it only grew up to 50 feet. But since the time she had learned the spell, she had grown far stronger.
The impact generated by the sudden slaughter had destroyed the troops moral.
Estiel, Fiona and Inkvir who were told by Shina to wait for her signal to charge in were until now wondering what it would be as she said that it would be something noticeable; but the surprised expression of their face made them hesitate to go in as they shared the same thought...’I can’t tease her anymore.’
After breaking out of her thoughts, Estiel lead the charge into the disoriented army while Eniel on the other side charged alone, leaving Shina behind who would come in after restoring her energy by meditating a few minutes.
Charging at the enemy, each swing of Estiel’s sword rendered one soldier unable to fight as it cut right through their swords and armor without offering any resistance.
Of course, against the high number of soldiers she was facing she would normally not hold very long, but with Fiona’s support it wasn’t a problem.
The speed at which Fiona was shooting magic arrow made look like a machinegun. None of them were actually aimed at the soldiers, she was only shooting as fast she could and made sure that none of them would hit Estiel. With the number of soldiers around, even if she didn’t aim the arrows would still hit an enemy.
Yet, the most impressive one was Inkvir. He was lazily walking in the army, weaving his sword right and left with such a strength that it produced a shockwave capable of cutting a hundred enemy with a single swing.
Seeing the strength of the enemies in front of them, the soldiers were now sure that it was them who used the strange magic before. Some were trying to flee while the others were still trying to stand against the mysterious enemies.
*********** ************** *********** **************** **************
On the other side of the battlefield, a loud laughter belonging to a young girl could be heard; from the place where the girl was laughing, cries of terror could as well be heard, they were coming from the soldiers.
Surrounded by corpses, Eniel was slicing apart soldier after soldier, tearing apart their body and staining the soil around her in red as blood came out of the corpses on the ground.
Soaked by the blood of her enemies, she was laughing as she killed her enemies. The soldiers around her felt like they were facing a beast raised in hell, the vision of a girl far younger than them tearing everything around her apart greatly shocked them.
“MONSTER !!... RUN AWAY !... IT’S A DEVIL !”... Many screams came from the soldiers already traumatized by the spell from earlier.
No matter how pitiful the soldiers in front of her were, Eniel didn’t hesitate and killed them with her twin katana. For her, before her were men who came here with the intent of killing people, she wouldn’t show pity for them… They are her enemies, she didn’t need to know anything else.
Slicing apart a soldier’s head from his body, with magic freezing five soldier with a mere contact of her katana on the ground, cutting everything in two in front of her with a swing of her katana infused with wind magic.

None of the soldiers dared engage in a fight… until he appeared.
Kerser : “ What are you doing ?! Take the enemy down, we are more numerous !” A loud voice resonated above the soldier’s scream.
“It’s the prince !”, “What are we doing ?! We can’t let the prince see us flee in fear !”. The appearance of the prince in the battlefield had calmed down the soldiers fear and ignited their battle instincts.
However, he wasn’t the only one here. Following the commotion someone else came in a hurry.
Keniro : “ Fear not, I the hero Keniro Amrd I am here ! I’ll take care of this monster !”
“It’s the hero !”, “This monster have no chance !”. Seeing Keniro appear before them, the soldiers were now excited to see the fight between him and Eniel, acclaiming him and retreating in order to give both of them the place to fight.
Luckily, both the Kerser, Keniro and Siena had survived to the spell as their tents kept them outside of the spell’s range.
An area of 200 meters wide was now formed. Eniel had let the soldiers act as they wanted as she was interested in the ‘hero’ who made they all regain confidence.
As Keniro accompanied by Kerser made their way to the center, Kerser was surprised of the girl in front of him.
How could he forget the members of the team who humiliated him at the school and the sister of the child he had an interest in; and most importantly the girl who separated his arm from his body.
Kerser : “ She is the sister of the one I am interested in… Shina’s sister.” He whispered.
The name ‘Shina’ made him think of the little girl he treated as a doll only a few months ago when he was still leading a loser life. Only a brief memory floated in his mind before dispersing it as he thought that there were no chance for her to be in this world...
Kerser : “You should be able to win easily.” He lightly said as he remembered the strength she showed during the School Tournament.
Keniro : “ I see, here I go !” The boy yelled as he rushed on Eniel, showing no pity for the girl.
With a swing of his sword, Keniro aimed for a one strike win against her as he swung his sword with all his strength.
At first seeing the incredible speed Keniro displayed, Eniel felt like he would be a troublesome enemy, but she felt something was wrong. With only a mere backstep she managed to dodge his attack.
‘This must be a fluke’ he thought as he saw his attack being easily dodged before releasing multiple attacks with his holy sword. Yet all of them were once again dodged with ease.
Eniel : “ Hah...Is that really all?... You are stronger than me yet don’t know how to fight, ridiculous.” She mocked him as she sighed as she thought she had finally found a strong opponent.
Keniro : “ Guhhhh… I-I will give you taste the power of the hero !” He said as he somehow tried to control his anger.
The holy sword in his hands shone in a bright line, illuminating the night with a holy burning light. In response to her opponent, Eniel concentrated her mana in her two katana.
The two of them charged at each other, the clash of their sword made the air around them shake and the earth trembles within a small radius. When the two of them disengaged, Eniel’s arm was slightly burned by Keniro’s light.
Keniro : “ How was that ?! This is a hero’s strength !” He proudly said as he lifted his sword, making the soldiers around cheer.
Eniel : “ Hmph… Then let me show you… a sister’s strength.” Suddenly her eyes turned cold and the air around was shaking as if killing intent was coming out of her body.
Swiftly, Eniel charged at him as her katana formed an X. Since her speed was lower than Keniro’s one, he still managed to see her movements and tried to block both of her katanas with his sword.
Eniel : “ You have strength… but you rely too much on it and don’t know how to use a sword…”
The moment their weapons collided, Eniel blocked his sword and by using his strength made it sink in the ground before using it as a footstep to deliver a flying kick in his stomach, sending him flying almost ten meters away.
Only the sound of Keniro falling on the ground could be heard as the previous cheers disappeared, not even a soldier dared to breathe normally as they saw the fight in front of them.
Because of the two fighters speed, nobody really saw everything that happened in front of them, but one thing was sure; Keniro was laying on the ground and weaponless.
Keniro : “ Guuaahhh… I-It hurt! Someone heal me !” He screamed as he held his stomach.
The ‘hero’ before the audience made them feel pity and completely destroyed their belief.
Since Keniro arrived in this world, all what he did was spending his time playing around, enjoying his situation and sometimes hunting monsters far weaker than him.
Never once did he get hurt by them since he simply killed them with a single sword strike and dodged their attack thanks to his speed.
Believing he was all mighty, he never took his sword lessons seriously, only slightly spending time on magic lessons as he was only interested in that.
Eniel slowly approached him as her cold eyes looked at his pitiful figure squirming on the ground from pain like he was some trash.
Keniro : “ GUAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH” A loud yelled echoed.
One of Eniel’s katana had pierced through Keniro’s left shoulder, going through his bone like it was made of cookies.
As if feeling Keniro’s condition, the holy sword which was ten meters away from him vanished and reappeared in his right hand.
Lifting her sword in the air, Eniel delivered the final blow; a horizontal slash aimed at his neck.
The sword however only slightly stopped before beheading Keniro; Eniel was surrounded by a strange light and was unable to move.
‘I am truly sorry, even if he don’t deserve any pity he is still the hero summoned by our goddess.’ A short whisper left the Holy Lady, Siena’s mouth, but of course Eniel couldn’t hear it.
Kerser : “ She can’t move, defeat her now !” He yelled at Keniro who was still under the shock.
Keniro : “ She can’t?... Heh… HAHAHAHAHAHAHA” A loud laughter resonated in the ring.
‘Swish’ Some blood fell on the ground, Keniro’s sword had pierced through Eniel’s stomach, the moment he retired it she fell on the ground, unable to move.
A green light enveloped Keniro’s left shoulder, closing the wound and making the pain disappear.
‘I-It’s my win !’ Unable to contain his joy, he pushing with all his might.
Yet, little did he know that another disaster would occur, one even more terrible than the black sphere from before…
??? : “ ENIEL, WHERE ARE YOU ?!” A girl's voice resonated in the battlefield.
