Chapter 455: A Rare Kind of Genius

High Cure Adjust. Hehehe Now, let me ask you: Do you think just the two of you will be enough to restrain me?

Irene had unleashed a Pochi Pad Bomb with Swift Magic, dealing undeniable damage to Ida. However, Ida had quickly retreated and cast a recovery spell on herself.

With her wounds healed, a sense of calmness settled within her mind.

Barun and his allies, who had repelled Cleath, had succeeded only thanks to their combined strength.

Yet, facing the formidable Ishtar of the Black Ida, there were only Warren and Irene.

To protect the mages and warriors fighting behind them, the two found themselves obligated to confront Ida alone. Smirking at the current situation, Ida spoke,

Cant expect any support, can you?

Looking around and reading arcane energy signals in her surroundings, Ida found no additional adversaries. Warren and Irene were well aware of this too.

Nevertheless, retreating was not an option. Warren and Irene prepared for a deadly struggle against Ida, fully aware that they must not falter in their efforts to successfully pull off the Lucifer Break. The success of their plan depended on the sacrifices they were willing to make.

Warren and Irene gripped their staves, bracing for Idas relentless assault.

Pesky insects

As Ida charged, Warren had already been blown backward.

! She hits VERY hard!

Doing a flip in mid-air, Warren planted his staff into the ground to slow his flight.

But then, immediately after, Irene was also sent flying.

Despite attempting to endure the attack, her body could not keep up with Idas fortified strength. Using a Magic Table as a foothold, Irene came to a sudden stop in mid-air. She proceeded to explain,

Here we go!

Yes, maam!

Irene and Warren released their arcane energy, entering the Ultimate Limit state.

Ida, as if to synchronize with them, also released her arcane energy, her raging aura enveloping Warren and Irenes.

Despite the serious expressions on their faces, their fighting spirit remained unwavering. After all, their loved ones, their friends, were still facing the worlds strongest force of darkness, fighting without an end in sight.

Lend us your wisdom, Warren.

Of course, Miss Irene. But youll also have to lend us your brute force.Diiscover new stories at novelhall.com

This exchange served as a signal between the two.

The fact that Idas onslaught was anticipated in Warrens mind was understood by Irene as well. As such, both of them had decided to come here and take down Ida together. What was necessary for this decision was a plan that actually worked.

Having obtained information about Ida directly from Asley, Warren and Irene foresaw this battle and their chances of winning. To increase the almost zero probability even slightly, Warren and Irene devised a desperate strategy another magic spell they had learned from Asley.

Instant Transmission!

What!? GAH!?

Disappearing and reappearing in Idas blind spots, they accurately struck her with their staves, inflicting significant damage. Then their attacks momentarily halted, disengaging their Ultimate Limit states and proceeding to invoke a normal large-scale magic spell.

Pochi Pad Bomb!

Though Ida managed to dodge their Swift Magic, Irene and Warren, as if they had calculated this, also retreated. While perplexed by the fact that the two did not launch further attacks, Ida could not help but be more concerned by the Instant Transmission spell, making her hesitant to attack.

In the meantime, the two attempted to replenish the arcane energy consumed by Ultimate Limit and Instant Transmission using Giving Magic on a Magic Table.

Ngh!

Ida, attempting to intervene, was momentarily deterred by their unusually sharp gazes.

I will not be fooled by your petty tricks!

So why did you stop, then?

Barely made it

What? Hmm!?

Beneath Idas unsuspecting steps lay a Craft Circle, neither invoked nor supplied with arcane energy. Ida, while aware of the intricacy of this potent magecraft, did not perceive a threat from its inactive Circle.

However, her surprise surged when, against all expectations, arcane energy began to flow through the Craft Circle, invoking its effect.

LIGHTNING BOUNDARY!!

In an instant, lightning emanated from the Craft Circle, enveloping Ida.

GAAAAAAHHHHHH!?

Ida writhed in pain as if her body was being contorted.

Perplexity reflected in her eyes, directed toward Warren and Irene.

Unable to voice her questions, she understood the power of the formidable Boundary magecraft.

The two remained silent, not due to fatigue but because they had no intention of sharing information with Ida.

Magic Drain.

The two absorbed Idas arcane energy while she was trapped within the Boundary, restoring their own.

With their energy back, they cast Magic Point Reduction and Demonic Acceleration, then once again used Magic Drain to absorb more of Idas arcane energy. When Idas Ultimate Limit wore off, her eyes showed no perplexity, only sheer terror.

With methodical efficiency, the two drained arcane energy as if it were a routine task, utilizing their enemy like a tool. Ida, shivering before them, witnessed the complete restoration of their arcane energy.

Warren and Irene pointed their staves at Ida, whose eyes, contorted in fear, were fixated on their mouths.

Pochi Pad Bomb!

In the next moment, Ida vanished into thin air.

!?

Indeed, it was an odd turn of events for them.

What in the!? Howd she teleport away!?

! A high-density arcane energy signal is rapidly moving away from this location!

Warren tracked Idas signal with his arcane energy sensing ability, but the enemys arcane energy already had nearly vanished.

Warren, noticing something from this information, pushed up his glasses and spoke,

I suppose someone has taken Ida away.

Ugh, great! Just when we managed to conceal Ts arcane energy, too!

Ah, yes Sending Master Ts Magic Shift with Ground Spell Delivery I thought it was a clever move.

It IS. In that theres no better alternative, at least.

Well, I suppose it wont work next time, unfortunately

Right, the enemy isnt someone we can underestimate

Warren and Irene watched the intense battle unfolding behind them.

They had to return to their posts was what they would think, but before they could, Spell Circles suddenly appeared before them.

!!

Asley is doing it!

All right, here we go!

Before them materialized the Spell Circle of Lucifer Break.

Despite their worn-out state, the two began to move their fingers in acknowledgment of Asleys achievement.
