I Was Reincarnated As The Older Brother Of A Villainess Destined to Die, So I Want To Change The Future By Raising My Younger Sister With My Own Hands. I Am The Strongest In The World, But My Little Sister Must Be The Cutest In The World - Volume 5 Chapter 2.3

I avoided the stone spikes with a leap and used a single dagger imbued with “Magic Enchantment” to deflect the wind blade. I could have easily sliced through it, but that might have caused them to lose their will to fight.

“I, the spirit bound by a contract, shall enclose our enemies before us!”

“I, the spirit bound by a contract, shall aim and shoot our enemies before us!”

Believing that this moment, with me suspended in mid-air, was their chance, both of them simultaneously activated their magic.

I couldn’t help but ponder, did regular spirit magic really require verbal incantations?

While considering this question, I waited for the enemy’s spirit magic.

The wind spirit user seemed to want to restrict my movements. A tornado swirled around me, limiting my range of motion.

On the other hand, the earth spirit user appeared to be in charge of intercepting me. Dozens of cannonball-like stone projectiles came hurtling towards me. Because my field of vision had been obstructed by the tornado, it would have been difficult for me to detect the stone balls under normal circumstances.

The elves, thinking that this would settle things, wore smiles on their faces. While they hadn’t completely let down their guard, there was a hint of complacency.

“If you’re a member of Foranada, then you’ll face punishment.”

It’s fine to be confident, but don’t let your guard down. That was a principle drilled into us through Foranada’s combat training.

Well, they were foreign spies after all. There was no need to make a big fuss about it.

However, more than their abilities, I was looking for something substantial in their teamwork during this battle. Despite their magical techniques being impressive, I hadn’t seen anything particularly noteworthy in terms of tactics. Similar results could be achieved with common magic.

I decided to give them one more chance. If this didn’t work out, it was time to wrap things up.

I used a single dagger to reduce all the incoming stone projectiles to dust. Then, I released the accumulated magic power, blowing away the tornado.

“?What?!?”

The two elves, eyes wide in astonishment, were momentarily frozen. Due to their lapse in concentration, there was a slight delay before they could react.

Seizing the opportunity, I landed on the ground and swiftly closed the distance between us. They had been somewhat far apart, but with “Body Enhancement” applied, I could reach them in a single step.

Both of them rushed to begin chanting their spells.

“I, the spirit bound by a contract, shall cleave our enemies before us!”

“I, the spirit bound by a contract, shall pierce our enemies before us!”

It seemed that, indeed, they needed to move their lips at length. Reluctantly, I waited for their incantations to finish, preparing for the magic that would follow.

However, the crucial point was that their spirit magic was of the same type as the initial spells.

“Oh?” This was a miss.
