Chapter 191: Sibling Feud

“Hey hey hey! That’s too sudden!”

Sophie fired a barrage of magic. Each and every one of them is a very powerful magic. If it hits you, you will probably suffer a lot of damage. If it hits, that is.

“That’s my big brother.”

I cut down all the magic.

“Space-time double enchantment.”

“Oh, my God! Seriously?”

I didn’t expect Sophie to double enchant. The space magic enchantment suddenly shifts her, albeit for a short distance. The time magic enchantment suddenly makes her go faster or slower. Sophie’s close combat is even more difficult to fight with because she can unleash her magic without chanting. It’s difficult to fight.

“Close combat against me? That’s a little too naive!”

“Oof …….”

I took advantage of Sophie’s opportunity and kicked her in the side. This method of Sophie’s works only if it’s against someone other than me. This is a bad move against me. Sophie’s double enchantment can be easily dealt with by using the divine speed reflex. As for magic, we’re in close combat, so she can’t shoot wide area of effect spells where she can also be hit. So the magic is easy to cut. Also, I don’t think Sophie has ever had any instruction on close combat, so there are a lot of gaps.

“Sophie’s double enchantment…”

Sophie took a little distance after she was kicked away, as if she wanted to restart. Then she instantly used recovery magic. However, if Sophie, who is mainly a long-distance fighter, is also going to double enchant, I can’t go on like this.

“Raiden enchant…”

“Piccone”

“Triple enchantment acquired.”

I had heard a fair amount of announcements since the battle with Emperor Moth, but I had ignored them. But this time, I had heard it correctly.

“Raiden enchantment…”

‘Picone!

“Half enchantment acquired…”

Apparently, all I can do now is 3.5 enchantments.

“Now I’ll go first, okay?”

“Feel free.”

“Then I won’t hesitate, thunder shrink”

Then I suddenly jumped into Sophie’s bosom. I swung my sword at her from below, but she ducked. But she was in such a hurry when she ducked, or maybe she just bent over too much, and there was a lot of room. I did a heel drop to Sophie’s stomach, 3.5 enchantments worth, my body was screaming a little, but I could withstand this much for about 30 minutes.

“Gghh…”

But Sophie withstood my heel drop and extended her arm toward me. Then she grabbed my arm. I can’t cut magic like this! This is bad!

“Hellflame!”

“Ice Bolt!”

I couldn’t compete with Sophie’s magic with half-baked magic. I managed to squeeze out a combination of ice magic and thunderbolt magic. Picon! I was in the middle of a fight, so that wasn’t important right now. My magic and Sophie’s magic collided at close range. Of course, the magic exploded. The explosion blew me away. Sophie was lying on the ground, so she was knocked to the ground.

“Damn…I knew I’d lose in magic”

Sophie’s magic was more powerful than mine. So, I was slightly burned. However, I was glad that I only got a few burns thanks to the Raiden armour. I wonder if I would have been unscathed if my resistance skill level had not been lowered…. Or, if the skill level of ice magic had not been lowered, would I have been able to push through and win the fight?

“I was impressed with your skill level. Big brother.”

Sophie appeared unharmed from the violent cloud of dust. No, I’m sure she would have been wounded. But I think she had healed it cleanly with her recovery magic. I don’t intend to use any potions in this quarrel between the siblings. I’m sure Sophie should feel the same way. Since that’s the case, I’m a bit at a disadvantage.

“I guess you can’t win if I get in a close fight with you brother. I won’t let you get close during the fight anymore.”

Usually, you stick so close to me, but now you’re leaving me? Onii-chan’s sad. Lightning shrink!”

If Sophie narrows it down to long distance only in earnest, it will be troublesome, so I’m going to use lightning shrink to get close to her and not leave her any more.

“Ah!”

But the thunder contraction ended before I reached Sophie. Because there was a wall of ice between me and Sophie that hadn’t been there before.

“You can only move in a straight line, right?”

It’s hard to do when your opponent knows what your skill is. But even without using lightning shrinkage, my agility is probably quite high right now. If that’s the case, I should just run and approach her….

“Here we go?”

I took a step forward with my left foot to run, but I fell because my right foot did not move. My magic high-speed sense showed me that some magic was being applied near my right foot. I had been on the lookout for Sophie’s movements, but I should have been alert to what was going on around me. I hastily used my sword to cut off the magic near my right leg with my sword.

“Hora, there’s more coming!”

“Ah… damn!”

And from there, Sophie unleashed magic unilaterally from all directions. The amount of magic was lightly more than three times the amount of the initial barrage. Particularly troublesome were gravity magic and spatial magic. The gravity suddenly became heavier or lighter, so the timing of slashing was off. The spatial magic was probably the one that fixed my leg earlier. It’s troublesome because it sometimes fixes body parts. I cut wide-range magic and avoid magic that is not wide-range. I would like to slash all of them, but I have only two hands, so I can’t do it in time. I have managed to avoid being hit by magic for now, but it’s only a matter of time. In this battle, where magic is almost unlimited, my concentration will probably run out first. But that doesn’t mean I can afford to run away from this magical siege. I’m looking for something to do….

“Ah…”

I found a hand. With this, I might be able to win. But…personally, I don’t want to use it if I can help it… I don’t have the time to think about it, so I guess it can’t be helped…

In order to make room for a moment, I slashed all magic once, regardless of range. Because I slashed forcibly, my stance is bad. If she unleashes magic at this point, I will lose, but it doesn’t matter. I removed all enchantments.

“Divine Lightning Half Enchantment.”

I was clothed in divine pure white lightning.
