Child of Nazarick

Chapter 7

Hey Guys! Crescent Rider here and I am back with another chapter.

As always, I do have some things to say But they will be found at the end of this chapter. All except for this one.

This is the first time I've used the 'Previously' Segment on a Story. Similar to the Avatar Last Airbender and other popular shows out there.

Let me know how I did as these things won't happen too often. For they'll only appear whenever I end a chapter at the beginning of a fight, in the middle of a fight, and at the near conclusion of a fight.

That is all I have to say, and enjoy the chapter!

Previously on The Child of Nazarick

Hope studied as Ainz tends to his adventure persona in the Capital City of E-Rantel. In the midst of her studies, she now strives to learn how spells work in the New World and conducts several experiments to explore her capabilities in the field.

In the midst of her experiments, she has proposed a sparring match with 6th Floor Guardians, Aura Bella Fiore, and Mare Bella Fiore. They reluctantly accept to abide by Ainz's will, and Aura faces off against Hope with Mare as her support.

What will become of the outcome of this match...?

Amphitheater, 6th Floor

Aura lashes her whip at Hope in multi directions while Hope's armbands glow upon her mental command.

Before the whip could make contact with Hope, the orbs of armbands proceeded to glow in their brightest form and materializes into twin shields.

Aura's whip bounces off of the shield, then Hope proceeds to throw her shields like a pair of frisbee disks. The former saw this coming, evades the first shield, then destroys the second by losing an arrow from her bow [To Your Heart].

Upon the second shield's destruction, it formed a small dust cloud. Which, Hope took advantage by charging toward Aura with pair of brown transparent gauntlets and attempting to land a blow on her with it.

However, Aura's reactions were quicker as she jumps back before the gauntlet makes contact with her, then performs a few somersaulting moves to create distance between her and Hope.

But the moment Hope's gauntlets hit the ground, it creates a medium-sized crater upon impact.  A while later, Hope jumps a few feet back and then straightens herself once more.

"That's quite odd," Aura commented,

"What do you mean, Aura?" Hope inquired,

"After seeing you use several offensive and defensive magic. I assumed that you're a magic caster like Ainz-sama," Aura explained, "But I didn't expect you to use close quarters on me,"

"Well, I do tend to use close quarters to my advantage if it pleases me," Hope said with a smile, "It's how it got to where I am today,"

"As expected of someone as great as you," Aura praised, "But I won't be outdone just yet,"

"Good," Hope remarked, and armbands materializes from twin gauntlets to twin orange whips, "Cause I'm just warming up,"

Aura switches back to her whip and dashes forth while lashing her whip toward Hope. Her attacks clash with the latter lashing her whips against it and the ground. What's more, Aura noticed scorch marks on the ground as she evades and parries the attacks.
