"I did expect to see you," says the short cutie as she places her hands behind her back, a playful smile on her lips. "How are you doing?" she asks, her tone friendly and inviting. "I was just wandering around, watching most of you during your training," answers Nobu as he walks closer to the girl. "Are you calling it a day?" "I guess so. My shadow magic becomes a bit weaker without a source of light, after all," nods Sayuri, stretching her arms and turning towards Nobu. She looks a bit annoyed as she adds, "Most of our teammates, huh? Does that mean I'm the last one you came to see?" "Uh... Yeah," Nods Nobu, playfully patting her head even though it's bugging her a little, "I mean, I'm not calling you pipsqueak for no reason, right?" "I see..." mutters Sayuri to herself, leaving Nobu with a blank expression. But before he can react, she quickly channels four shadow slashes at different heights, attempting to land a hit on him. "Oy, what's wrong with you?" questions Nobu in surpr
The arena is a massive structure that dominates the landscape, rising from the earth like a giant colossus. Made of gleaming white marble, the building is a testament to human ingenuity and engineering prowess. The walls are adorned with intricate carvings depicting epic battles, mythical creatures, and legendary heroes, each one a masterpiece of artistry and craftsmanship. As they approach the arena, they can feel the energy pulsing through the air, the sound of thousands of excited spectators echoing across the landscape, "Man..." Gasps Ash, his eyes scrolling all over the watchers, "I didn't think that we'll be fighting around such a crowd!" The entrance is a grand archway, supported by towering columns carved with images of gods and goddesses. Inside, the arena is a sight to behold. The seats are arranged in a steeply angled semicircle around the fighting area, providing an unobstructed view of the action. The fighting area itself is a large circular space, about 150 meters in d
Growing restless, even Sayuri begins to jump on Reina's back and shout for attention. "Reina, can you carry me too?" she pleads. But Reina remains unamused, retorting, "Unlike Nobu, I don't like you clinging to me. So don't do anything reckless, okay?" " 'kay! Will do!" Nods Sayuri in agreement as Satomi chimes in, "Can't you stay quiet, please!! The match is about to start." "Oh, she's jealous," Reina teasingly replies, "I can give you a piggyback if you want," He adds, implanting a flirtatious smile on his face. "No time for your love confessions, Reina." Interjects Katsu as he points to the screen, "The match has started." With that, the group turns their attention to the arena as the two participants are about to engage in an intense battle, leaving everyone on the edge of their seats. Ash stands tall, his eyes narrowing as he focuses his energy. With fierce determination, he summons forth his sword. The weapon materializes in a burst of darkness, horns protruding from the e
-Katsu: " The demon race is an awe-inspiring sight to behold. Unlike mere humans, they do not require the union of parents to be brought into this world. They get into a peaceful slumber when their magical energy gets drained not only to rest but also to refill their magic. A severed limb, grievous wounds, and even a blow to the heart will not slay them. Even without regenerative abilities, demons possess unmatched resilience. The only way to dispatch them is to locate their 'core' - a shimmering, purplish shard - and shatter it, causing the demon's physical form to dissipate. In the demon realm, where the very fabric of reality is shaped by the sheer force of demonic power, new bodies can spontaneously emerge from nothingness. Bones and flesh materialize, gradually forming into fully-fledged demons. However, this is not the only way for demons to come into being. The demon realm is a perilous place, and those who venture inside do so at their own risk. For even the bravest and mos
"Okay, Ash. We'll make it happen. Together," Mina declared with a determined look in her eyes. She swiftly changed their destination without hesitation, leading them toward her family's home. As they raced towards safety, the relentless soldiers tried to block their path, determined to prevent Ash's escape and ensure his execution.Undeterred, Mina revealed herself to be a true member of the Enchantica family, channeling her innate magical abilities to outwit their pursuers. Despite Ash's weakened state, he marveled at Mina's prowess as she used a tool to unleash a barrage of explosions, causing chaos and confusion among their attackers.With each step, Mina's confidence grew, and she skillfully employed her emotion magic, leaving their opponents quivering with fear or falling into a deep slumber. Her magic was a potent force, a reflection of her unwavering determination to protect the man she loved.As they ran, Mina's magic illuminated the night sky, a dazzling display that stunned
"Mina Enchantica. You are sentenced to death!" Bruno and Ash were both engulfed in darkness at the judge's verdict. Bruno crumpled to his knees, tears streaming down his face, while Ash sat in stunned silence, his mouth agape. Mina, on the other hand, remained composed, showing no visible signs of distress. "Ash, what's wrong?" she asked softly, settling down next to him with a warm smile. "You're free now. Why aren't you happy?" But Ash remained silent, his head shaking as tears continued to flow uncontrollably. He clung to Mina's clothes, unable to express the pain and suffering he had just witnessed. "Don't cry, little brother," Mina said soothingly as she reached up to wipe away his tears. "Everything is going to be okay!" Before the guards could take her away, Mina held out her arms, embracing her friend one final time. "Justice isn't always served, Ash," she whispered, resting her head on his trembling shoulder. "And even when it is served, it may not bring the outcome you ho
As Ash lies asleep in the infirmary, the rest of the team decides to visit him. Nobu, feeling grateful for once not to be the one receiving treatment, excitedly exclaims, "It's such a nice change of pace to be visiting instead of being visited! I've never been in the infirmary without needing treatment before. Not bad, huh?" "That was a bit negatively optimistic," Katsu interrupts Nobu's optimism with a dose of reality, "Let's not sugarcoat it. And you still need to be healed. Your injuries are even worse than Ash's." Nobu sighs in agreement, reluctantly admitting, "Yeah, you're right. Hey, Yagami, are you still useful? Can you heal me too?" Yagami is taken aback by Nobu's request, feeling a bit insulted. "That was kind of hard to hear, to be honest," he says, awkwardly chuckling. "That was rude!" Sayuri, never one to miss an opportunity for mischief, jumps onto Nobu's back, causing him to cry out in pain, "Nono, you need to apologize, right now!" "Ow ow ow! What are you doing?" h
"The participants of this epic showdown, Magnus and Satomi, are summoned to enter the arena through the north and south gates, respectively!" The air crackles with electricity as the gates leading to the arena slowly swing open, revealing a swirling vortex of dust and sand. The sound of cheering and applause fills the air, rising to a fever pitch as the two participants step forward, their faces set in determined expressions. As they make their way onto the hallowed ground of the arena, the energy is palpable - a sense of anticipation and excitement that courses through the veins of every person in the stands. The spectators watch with bated breath as the fighters take their positions, their muscles coiled and ready to strike. "Yo!" As he gets into the waiting room with a smile on his face, Nobu makes his way over to Reina and the others, the energy of the match still coursing through his veins. "Nono! Nono!" Stammers Sayuri, "Here! You can take my seat!" As he approaches, Sayuri
