While Alex was steadily progressing inside the Abyss, in the outside world each one of the remaining of Alex's group was assigned a task, most of them were to take care of a group wreaking havoc all around the world recently. Probably, the lackey of the Chaos organization.
Gracier and Luna was sent to the country of Emain at the end of the continent.
The country of Emain is a vast country with a population of 1 million humans.
Bordered by a volcano to the North, a small ocean to the South, a huge forest to the East, and highlands to the West, the country of Emain mainly lives off fishing, tailoring, and leatherworking.
Emain itself is mainly covered in large hills and has a cold climate, which has led to a stretched population, despite the number of people, which means most of them to live in tiny towns.
The country's landscape is stunning; green forests, jade green fields, and dramatic mountain views are just a sliver of the allure Emain has to offer, which is why the country is loved among foreigners.
The people of Emain are compassionate towards foreigners and tend to welcome them with a feast. They feel foreigners could feed the country's well-being.
Emain has flexible laws and law enforcement, which is what you'd expect. The people are happy due to successful crops, thanks to ancient, passed-on secrets.
This is also reflected in the country's flag, which has four vertical stripes in light pink, black, light blue, light gold, and blue. Their coat of arms is a chicken on top of a hill
In the outskirts of the country of Emain, on almost barred land a fight was raging on.
Flames spread across the land. The scorching heat devoured the fresh green grass and melted the ground entirely. Magma emerged from the cracks in the ground as though it had its own
Gracier stood quietly in the middle of the magma. High temperature and strong gales filled the space with her as the center. They snarled and destroyed everything that tried to enter this territory.
Swish!
An ice spear flickering in cold radiance streaked across the air and struck the young lady.
Gracier didn't even look at the ice spear. Instead, she pointed her right hand in the direction where the ice spear came from. Shortly after, along with Gracier's action, the surrounding flames spun and transformed into a wall of flames that blocked the ice spear. Then, two rays of light flashed, and a pure-white mist spread out. At the same time, she twitched her brows slightly and dodged to the left. Almost at the same time, a razor-sharp blade airstream flew out of the mist and struck at her chest with unwavering determination. If it were any other magician, they would be at a loss after being ambushed at such a close distance.
However, Gracier didn't panic at all. Even though the razor-sharp blade almost grazed her chest and even sliced off a few strands of her hair, she didn't panic at all. Instead, she raised her left hand and along with this action, the whirling flame jumped onto Gracier's arm like a docile pet and formed an incomparably sturdy barrier before her chest. The heat generated by the flame was turned into a solid layer over the flame shield acting like a real shield.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
A series of clashing noises sounded.
A series of clashing noises sounded. The swords collided with the flame barrier and sent sparks flying in all directions. The flame barrier transformed into a solid barrier that repelled the swords around her. The enemy which was a swordsman, furrowed his brows seeing Gracier defend so easily and he who failed to land his attack turned around and stomped on Gracier's calf with his left leg.
On the other hand, Gracier took a small step back and dodged the attack. However, she didn't expect the swordsman to remain undeterred. Another radiance flashed beside him and shortly after, another blade airstream fluttered like a specter and struck the young lady.
He swished the blade to the left and attacked from there intending to catch Gracier off guard.
Gracier snorted and her eyes reflected an ice-cold glint, but her movements didn't slow down at all. The young lady who had matured when it comes to fighting stooped slightly and extended her right hand to her waist. Along with this action, the flickering flames coalesced into a scarlet sword.
Right now she seemed like the goddess who governs over Flames, they would obey anything she says, her compatibility with the Fire element was out of this world and Gracier has learned to make full use of it.
Swoosh!
At the next moment, Gracier grabbed the flame sword by her waist and dashed forward.
"— — —!"
The illusory sword light split the space apart and a bright red ray of light arrived first.
In the blink of an eye, the two figures flashed past each other like the scene often seen in anime.
Shortly after, the swordsman's body trembled abruptly. His head flew high into the air and pitch-black blood spurted from his neck. Before the enemy's corpse collapsed to the ground, the surrounding magma couldn't wait to transform into tentacles, binding the mutilated corpse tightly and dragging it into the magma pool.
There wasn't even a sound as the corpse melted and disintegrated completely.
Gracier's eyes which were now golden were cold as ice, Alex would have been shocked if he saw his sister's current expression as it was different from her gentle side, it was to be expected because of what the enemy did to the villages nearby, they burned them down, slaughtered many innocent people, raped some, they even put some of them on a spike, displaying these atrocities. Gracier was furious upon seeing this, she decided to be ruthless to the enemies responsible for this.
Killing them was killing bugs it was why Gracier didn't even take a look at the defeated enemy. Instead, she brandished the flame sword in her hand without hesitation. It was time to deal with the other enemy, the Ice Mage.
