introduction
along the border between Gargantis and Spernia
A sorcerer was looking at the crystal above the magic circle.
(It's almost here…)
The magician stood on the magic circle and waited for someone.
A blue-haired woman said in front of a nondescript corner of a small mountain.
"This is it"
Another steel-colored woman declared.
"Alright, let's go. Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa"
, a woman dressed in steel with an aura
He swung his sword strongly and created a large tornado.
Then, as if a cloth were torn off,
The surrounding scenery is turning over,
Beyond that, a large magic circle and a woman standing above it appeared.
“Oh my, what a barbaric customer”
The woman standing on top of the magic circle said in amazement.
"Are you a barrier master?"
the blue-haired woman asked. The steel-colored woman glared.
"That's right. Nice to meet you. Even though I had put up a barrier curtain so that I couldn't see you.
Isn't it a bit rude to tear off the curtains of someone else's house and force them to look inside? ”
The barrier woman pouted in dissatisfaction.
The blue-haired woman replied as if to soothe her words.
"We're not trying to invade.
I would like to know your country and see if we can start diplomatic relations.”
The barrier woman said dissatisfied.
"You'll know when you put up the barrier.
Our country doesn't want to interact with other countries.
Can you please come back?”
The blue-haired woman replied calmly and without expression.
“Unfortunately, you cannot go home based on your own opinion.
We carry our country on our backs.”
"Oh really? Then I'll force you to go home!"
The barrier woman's eyes lit up and she took out something like a glowing ball from the palm of her hand.
The glowing ball changed into a board shape and turned into a barrier.
The barrier appeared in front of the barrier master, and became so large that it was impossible to see both ends.
The barrier began to advance little by little from the Spernia side to the Gargantis side.
"This! This is! Ariane!"
"I know Mercedes!"
Ariane's body swelled and she took a fighting stance and flew into the sky.
Mercedes lowered her hips and charged towards the barrier.
"Ahahaha! It's useless! My barrier cannot be destroyed by force!"
Ariane gave Mercedes a fearless smile.
"Yes, that's right. Mercedes. What should we do?"
Mercedes replied with the same wicked smile.
"That's right. Let's show them that we're more than just power."
Settlement
"Now, see if it works! Let me try it!"
Ariane jumped towards the barrier master's barrier with full power.
Ariane was filled with confidence and attempted to destroy the barrier.
The barrier master was watching the situation with a suspicious smile on his face.
Mercedes read his expression and spoke up.
"Wait! Ariane! Don't hurry!"
Ariane rushed into the barrier, trying in vain to stop Mercedes.
The aura emitted from Ariane was swallowed up by the barrier.
And the barrier reflected Ariane's aura like a bullet.
Ariane received a counter bullet all over her body at close range.
“Guaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”
Ariane collapsed on her back on the spot.
"Ariane!"
Mercedes ran up to Ariane.
When Mercedes glared at the barrier master, he laughed evilly.
"Ahahaha. Remember one thing you idiot. You can't break my barrier with force.
My barrier has the properties of rubber.
It will bounce back any energy that comes towards the barrier.
The stronger the power of Ariane, the more
My barrier that bounces back also becomes stronger.”
Ariane stood up, feeling exhausted.
"Ariane! Are you okay!"
Ariane grinned and took the lunging pose again.
"Now… let's go for an endurance battle…"
Seeing this situation, the barrier master looked suspicious.
"You're a real idiot…you should realize that"
Mercedes also prepared for the barrier.
"Ariane, I'll support you too."
◆ ◆ ◆
Ariane
over and over again
I launched an attack on the barrier that stood in front of me.
The barrier does not allow attacks to pass through, and counterattacks with the same force.
Ariane's powerful attack was repelled and
I kept trying to avoid it myself over and over again.
"Haa, haa… are you still doing it? Aren't you stupid?"
Mercedes noticed that the barrier master's expression was becoming tired.
The barrier master threw away the hood that covered his hair.
A silver-haired woman appeared. His expression showed fatigue.
It was then.
Ariane who attacked again was hit by her own attack that was reflected, and
He was damaged and collapsed on the spot.
"Ariane!"
Mercedes approached Ariane and checked on her.
“Haa… haa… Just give up.
That person is in tatters…sigh…sigh…”
Ariane silently raised her sword and stood up.
He looked sharply at the barrier master.
"Haa… haa…"
The barrier master shrank a little when he saw Ariane's gaze.
"I'm not done yet… haa… haa… please give me a break…"
Ariane started running towards the barrier again.
◆ ◆ ◆
Mercedes couldn't help but scream.
"Enough! Ariane! Retreat and reconsider your strategy!"
Ariane innocently challenges the barrier, but her voice doesn't reach her.
"…"
The barrier master was crouched down on the spot, exhausted.
"Haaah… haaah… huff… huff… maintaining the barrier is…
It's more difficult to repel this guy's attacks than I imagined…"
Ariane muttered to herself.
"A little more…"
Ariane adjusted her hazy gaze and moved her body sharply, thrusting her sword into the barrier.
Piss
Ariane's sword thrust into the barrier created a large crack, and the barrier split in two.
"Haa… haa…"
Ariane collapsed on the spot.
"Ariane!"
When Mercedes rushed over, Ariane was peacefully unconscious, as if asleep.
"Ariane…"
Mercedes held Ariane in her arms.
“Ah, my barrier…haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa…
But, I can still create a barrier…Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa…
Mercedes said while holding Ariane.
"Spernia Barrier… There's no need for that…
…It became painfully clear that that barrier was powerful.
But the next time we come, we won't be as we are now.
It's true that Ariane destroyed your barrier.
…We will admit defeat this time and turn back.
Let me say it again. We didn't come here to invade.
We just want to start diplomatic relations for the sake of each other…”
Mercedes put Ariane over her shoulder and turned her back to Gargantis.
The barrier master left on the spot fell to the ground with a thud.
“Haa…haa…that might have been dangerous.
I have to report this to the other Nine Demon Realms…
My barrier has been destroyed…
This hasn't happened in decades…"
