Chapter 10

Maria: Intercept her, she's planning a Mass Attack!

Both rushing at her, stunning her was necessary to make her stop. Sensing their intent, waves upon waves of stars illuminated the sad prison of knowledge and spread everywhere, along with more bottles thrown around to create lasers. It was a kaleidoscope of light, shown to the librarians that never learned what stars truly look like.

Maria: ...

Swinging her rapier in a casual manner, she charged ahead and destroyed the stars in her way like sheets of paper. The guest may be able to use magic to their aid but nothing is more trustworthy than actual talent. With accurate attacks, the bullets were dispersed like clouds in the sky.

Jenna: Tch, those things are annoying!

Unlike her ally, she was forced to retreat, only able to focus one projectile at a time with her fists. Electricity emanating from them, she punched one shining star and destroyed its very core. However, it also meant that she could only do so with one at a time, the opposite of Maria.

Tired, she ran away and jumped behind a bookshelf to hide from the projectiles. Sweating bullets, her head rose to the ceiling that couldn't be reached nor seen and exhaled the breath that she was holding. Her heart was beating vigorously with not only tiredness but emotions, powerful emotions emerging from her subconscious.

Jenna: Even though they're easy to counter, they sure know how to hit hard.

Remembering when Clara got sent into a bookshelf, she winced in pain and looked at her fists. The lightnings gone, her hands were hurting like hell, sore from all the punches she did. Slowly sensing the pain go away, she stood up.

She was scared to see their defeat, she was more scared than anyone else right now. She didn't want to see her friends perish in front of her eyes and it was haunting her.

Jenna: ...

Emerging from her cover and returned to the battlefield and joined her ally against the guest adoring stars. Surprised to see her back, Marisa gave her a surprised glance but her next words froze her blood.

Jenna: May this heart of mine rip apart and let the flow of fear eliminate those who oppose me.

Marisa: Woah, what's with the personnality change?

The person who mysteriously muttered those words looked at the magician and raised her fists, fiercely glaring at her and instilling fear in her being with just that glance. Just like she said, she was able to intimidate her with all the fear contained in her heart, fuelling that fear to the rest of her body.

Maria: ...I see, that should work fine with us.

Jenna: We have a chance of victory, we must seize it!

Her intimidation successfully completed at the beginning of the 5th turn, she kicked the ground and launched herself to the girl still on the ground. Still holding the small device she was carrying with her, she placed her emotions in it and created a flurry of Danmakus to stop her.

Magic against non-magic, 2 different forces clashed. With the approach of many stars, the girl wearing the reinforced vest swung her fist yet again and bolts of thunder emerged from her suit to assist her. Unlike before, once the fist and the projectile collided, large tendrils coming from her very own shadow pierced the projectiles and impaled the reason of those attacks.

Maria: Good hit.

Jenna: I get better.

She answered her ally with a grin and pushed her fist further away from her, launching the tentacles piercing the opponent into the wall. Her body fell down silently and the shadows returned to her.
