As we did, Boreios slammed his Sacred Treasure into the ground with tremendous force, the shockwave of which became a horizontal slash heading in our way.
““Somethin’ like this ain’t gonna do nothin’ to stop us!!””
――BANG!
Having smashed through the shockwave head on, we kept up our momentum and closed in on Boreios.
He was clad in lightning armor which would likely cause an electric shock if touched, but it didn’t deter us.
Seeing Boreios fell to the ground from the impact, Ophir shouted, “That felt great~!” in delight.
Further, our body was regenerating while raising steam.
“I can’t get enough of it! This’s how a battle’s s’posed to be like!”
“Haha, true. I feel like I can understand your feelings better now. That sure felt great, no doubt about it.”
“I know right? It ain’t sayin’ that hit and run tactic is bad, but this kind of fight, in which ya trade blows, cut flesh, and sever bones is more right up my alley. It makes ya feel ‘alive’, don’t cha agree?”
“Yeah. Especially because I’m immortal. Plus, we’re unified now, so there’s no limit to how reckless we can be.”
“Ou! That’s why I’m havin’ so much fun right now! As I thought, you’re the best husband, Exa!” Ophir said excitedly.
“Haha, you flatter me. You’re the best wife too, Ophir.” I smiled broadly.
We then turned our eyes to Boreios, who was getting back up.

Meanwhile.
“—Shining Cross Blade!”
Slash! A man released a high-level light attribute Combat Art.
He seemed to be in his mid-twenties, and there was a fearless look on his face.
He was an adventurer who possessed《Sword Demon》skill, and due to his excellence in light attribute sword skills, he had been given the moniker of ‘Hero of Light’, which he was proud of.
《Sword Demon》 was a skill one tier below《Sword Saint》, and among common skills, it was a cut above the rest when it came to swordsmanship.
The comrades the man had formed a party with were behind him. They had buffed his attack with the strongest support Magic Arts they could cast.
And yet,
“—It’s useless… Something like this won’t hurt me…”
It didn’t work on ‘her’ at all.
She had easily blocked the strongest attack the party could possibly bring out with just a single hand.
As such, the man lowered his sword and asked her, “What do you want? Why are you attacking us?”
She then warped her pale face, pointed at the man, and said, “Give me your power and body… I want it so much now…”
