8-14. Parent and child united
A tremendous explosion occurred, causing the ground to shake violently.
The earth was gouged out, and any living beings in the area were completely obliterated, leaving no trace behind.
The superheated water instantly turned into steam, and the oil that was likely mixed within also vaporized, triggering an even more intense explosion.
Yuuzen, who hadn’t anticipated things escalating to this extent, crossed his arms while being blown away.
“This shouldn’t have…”
Thud.
After losing his momentum by crashing into a structure, he slowly pulled himself out.
“I saw Dad was captured, so I attacked… Plus, Amariaz said any attack is fine on Dad, so I thought it would be okay to hit hard… Where did he go?”
He looked around, searching for Reizen, but his figure was nowhere to be seen.
However, something moving came into view up ahead.
From the hole created by the explosion, a hand reached up, gripping the ground, and slowly lifting the body. Reizen emerged, unscathed, with a weary yet amused smile.
Having taken Yuuzen’s “Explosive Fist” squarely on the head, his body had been embedded in the ground, a testament to the power of Yuuzen’s attack.
Reizen, pleased with his son’s strength, chuckled quietly to himself.
“You could’ve held back a little… honestly. Oh, Karna, are you okay too?”
“If you hadn’t used ‘Substitution’ on me, I wouldn’t even be able to talk right now.”
“Well, well, I’m sure he knew what he was doing.”
“This is the kind of thing we should plan for!”
“True enough.”
Despite the situation, Reizen felt a deep joy at witnessing how much his son had grown. The last time he had seen him was when he was just a baby. Now, Yuuzen stood firm on the ground, speaking fluently, and even fighting alongside him.
Though he’d always considered himself a father, seeing his son like this made him realize how much he didn’t know.
A pang of regret surfaced—he wished he had spent more time together with him.
Though there was nothing that could be done about it now, he couldn’t help but envy Karna a little.
“Must be nice…”
“Huh?”
“Nothing. Anyway, did the explosion throw the remaining angels off?”
“Yeah. They’ll be back soon, though.”
Just as Reizen said, the explosion caused by Yuuzen had blown the angels away.
They were just starting to get up, regaining their stance.
During this, Yuuzen ran toward Reizen, and Amariaz finally landed on the ground, readying her Air Pressure Sword for battle.
“Looks like we’ve got a strong ally on our side now!”
“Dad, are you okay!?”
“This is nothing! That was a great attack, I’m really impressed!”
“I was terrified! The blast even reached me, and it was so hard to control the Air Pressure Sword!”
“Well… I didn’t expect the explosion to be that big…”
As Yuuzen scratched his head and laughed sheepishly, Reizen stepped forward.
He swatted away a flying spear with one arm, then stepped in and, just as the spear fell, struck its shaft and sent it flying back toward the enemy.
With a loud clang, the spear sailed past the angel’s side.
“Almost!”
“We don’t have time for leisurely conversations!”
“Hey, we’re all tough as nails. A little recklessness won’t hurt us. Yuuzen, you’ve given ‘Substitution’ to Amariaz too, right?”
“Of course!”
“Alright, let’s go all out then.”
Reizen clenched his fists, producing a sharp clack.
Although he couldn’t use any special skills for a moment, he was confident in his physical prowess, and decided to act as the vanguard and decoy while his magic recovered. It had been a long time since he fought without using any skills, but with this team, he was sure they could manage.
Reizen and Karna took the front lines.
Yuuzen supported them from behind, acting as both a rear guard and additional front line when necessary.
Amariaz held her position in the back, ready to provide ranged support.
“Alright, let’s do this!”
“Roger!”
“Yeah, that makes the most sense.”
Once the positions were set, the strategy naturally followed.
At the same time, the five angels also finished their preparations, spreading their wings wide.
Reizen and Karna leaped forward, with Yuuzen following shortly behind.
Amariaz immediately launched her Air Pressure Sword at the angels, but it was easily knocked aside.
Tap, tap, tap. Reizen and Karna ran in perfect synchronization, closing the distance to two angels at the front.
“We won’t go down that easily. ‘Crimson—’!”
“Oh, you noticed?”
Behind Reizen were two Air Pressure Swords.
Likewise, behind Karna were another two Air Pressure Swords.
“I’m not great with swords, but…”
Karna spun around, grabbing the hilt of one Air Pressure Sword and swinging it fiercely at the angel.
The angel, knowing the swords would explode if dodged, immediately activated a skill.
“Reverse!”
“Oh, seriously?”
Boom!
Just before the Air Pressure Sword reached the angel, it exploded, but the force was directed entirely at Reizen.
Thanks to his absurdly high defense, he wasn’t hurt, but the angel seemed unaffected.
It appeared to be a counter-skill, redirecting the shock of the attack back to the attacker—definitely troublesome.
“Slowly.“
“Guh!”
Boom!
The angel Karna was dealing with didn’t have any defensive skills, so it was caught in the explosion of the Air Pressure Sword.
Taking advantage of the angel’s staggered stance, Karna drove two straight blades into its chest.
Twisting them, she tore the blades out through its side, confirming the kill.
At that moment, a chill ran down the spines of the two in the front line.
An angel, feet firmly planted on the ground, was pointing its arm toward them.
“Roar Cannon!“
