Chapter 346.2: Withered Once 3

Haaaah. (Serene)

I can't help but sigh. I feel like retiring. I am doing what I can. I am always doing what I can.

And then, the presence of magical power swells explosively. They are going to unleash a big technique.

A battle between Magi is a battle of techniques. If they can't reach a conclusion by using small techniques, they will gradually move on to using bigger and bigger techniques.

Before I know it, silence has returned to the place.

When big techniques are used, a pause occurs. This is a pause between a big techniqueA brief moment of silence.

The Magic in the air undulates and becomes a torrent splitting to the left and right. A powerful Magi even controls the Magic that fills the world. The battle will probably be decided by the next move.

Naturally, I expect the scales to tip towards Finis, but Lucia's power is stronger than I expected. It is almost too strong. When I look over there, before I know it, animal ears and a tail have grown out of Lucia. I can sense from her tail an unusual Magic power. It is a power that far exceeds those of the Magic Beasts that roam the vicinity of the World Tree.

Lucia Roje is purifying the power flowing in like a murky stream within her body and converting it into her own Magic power.

I see Is that her trump card? However, no matter how much Magic power she has, there is a limit to how powerful a technique a human being can handle.

I don't think she can surpass the power of the Guardian Spirit. I know best about Finis's power.

Once again, I sigh deeply and check each of their cards.

Apparently, it seems that Lucia Roje is planning to borrow the power of her Spirit and intercept the attack with a tornado Magic. It is probably a Magic she is good at. The offensive Magic she had been releasing up until now was by no means unpolished, but the technique she is about to release now has no stagnation and no waste in its construction at all. It seems that everything from the scale of the vortex that makes up the tornado to the direction in which it flows is specified in great detail. She has fully mastered the power of the Water Spirit.

On the other hand, the Phantom seems to emphasize power. Finis' depletion power mainly targets a wide range of areas and has the weakness of being unsuitable for pinpoint targeting the enemy. However, the Phantom Magi seems to have dealt with the problem by converging its powers.

Spirits are a threat enough on their own, but when used by a Magi, they can be even more powerful. With the Spirit in charge of power and the Magi in charge of control, it is possible to activate precise techniques with enormous power.

A jet-black spear made up of countless depletion powers is aimed at Lucia and the Members of Starlight (Hoshi no Serai). Offensive Magic that creates arrows and spears is common, but it is only by using Finis that they can create a spear with its power. The power of depletion sucks out life and brings demise to all things. How well will Lucia be able to resist the converging force of destruction?

And, right now, what can I do?

An immense amount of Magic power and strength is waiting to be unleashed. I press my head to my knees and close my eyes for a few seconds, then I raise my head in determination and scream as loudly as I can right now.

Finis Come to your senses. This Princess of Yggdra will not allow any further attacks. (Serene)

The voice that comes out is surprisingly quiet, even for me. I am sure my other self is whispering to me that all my nervousness has been overwritten by comfort. If you can't feel the threat, you won't have the will to fight against it. My thoughts are calm now, but I have lost the passion to take action.

There, I finally understand why Lucia's Hailstorm has to be under perfect control.

In the first place, if all you want to do is destroy the target with a tornado, you don't need such perfect control. Rather, it would be better to allocate the resources devoted to the control to destructive power.

The spears, driven out by a precisely controlled stream of water, are shot towards the Phantom.

My heart beat hard once. It is a shock that overwrites the comfort that the Relic provided. A water stream created by her manipulation of Magic. The hailstorm which is released after calculating the angle, speed, and power of the Phantom's spear is definitely one of the top five spells in my long life. It is now something like an art.

Still, maybe if the Phantom's Magic had been perfect, it might have been able to avoid the flow of water and might have been able to avoid being bounced back. However, it has already lost the control of the spears of depletion.

More than ten jet-black spears are fired and accurately pierce the Phantom Magi and Finis, who is floating behind it. There is no sound. Those spears bring more than just destruction. A strong body and a powerful barrier are meaningless in front of it.

The world trembles. Is it Finis' scream? Its body suddenly shrinks and disappears. A crack appears in the body of the Phantom that is hit by the spears. The cracks expand with each thrust from the spears and even go as far as the mask that covers its face.

The Phantom collapses. The power hidden within its body suddenly diminishes, and its mask bursts open.

She won? Even though she took advantage of the opponent's turmoil, I never thought that a human would be able to defeat a Magi who is strong enough to use Finis.

Liz, who is watching nearby, whistles.

Fuuu, Lucia-chan, not bad! (Liz)

Haaah, haaah It, hasn't disappeared yet! (Lucia)

A Phantom made of Mana Materials will disappear if it takes enough damage to the point where it can't maintain its existence. Because the Mana Materials is so dense in this area, it often takes a while for it to disappear, but this shows that even if it seems like the final blow has been struck, you can't let your guard down.

Finis also disappeared, but it shouldn't have been wiped out yet.

It's okay, it was perfect. If you want I'll finish it off! (Liz)

Liz *kururi* spins the stick of Anti-Mana metal in her palm, rushes out, and easily grabs the collapsed body of the Phantom with one hand and lifts it. Then, her eyes *pachipachi* blink as she looks at the Phantom face.

Huh? This Phantom Isn't a Phantom? (Liz)

The mask shatters. At the sight of the face that has been revealed, I forget my comfort and freeze.

Clear white skin and clear eyes. Honey-colored hair that looks like it has absorbed the sunlight. The somewhat strong-willed appearance belonged to a companion whom I knew very well, someone who went to challenge the Treasure Shrine with Finis.

Thanks for reading! Nani!? The Phantom is not a Phantom!? Is it also thanks to Infinite Variety's divine strategy!? Sasuga, Cry! He can even transform Phantom into a Spirit People.
