Having confirmed once again that her decision had been sound, Lorelei turned her attention to the mansion before her.
This place was not in the suburbs.
It was a villa complex in the very center of the city. Everyone who lived there was either rich or powerful. The bustling downtown was nearby, with towering buildings and dense crowds.
Even with a barrier in place, the battle could only be fought within the Destiny Stage.
"Let's begin." Lorelei drew the slender sword at her waist, and the wind's magical power continuously gathered in the air.
Then, following the force of her sword as it swung, it surged forward.
Boom—!
Countless raging winds tore through the entire villa like countless blades, sending several people flying out from inside.
Konan's expression was grim.
She had shielded Ryougi Shiki beside her. Otherwise, the attack just now would have been more than Ryougi Shiki, who had yet to undergo Class Change, could withstand.
A rough glance showed four enemies in total.
It was already too late to retreat. The Destiny Stage had begun activating, and she had also discovered the barrier enveloping the entire area.
"Shiki, I'll protect you." Konan's body transformed into countless talismans and scattered in every direction, wrapping around Ryougi Shiki before gathering back into human form.
This was one of the skills she had obtained.
It allowed her to store talismans, and even living things, within her body.
"I can fight too."
Ryougi Shiki drew a slender sword that reflected a blood-red glow. Her blue kimono fluttered in the wind, making her look like a classical swordswoman.
Only, she radiated a terrifying killing intent.
"If you enter the battlefield now, you might not even survive a moment." Konan remained calm. "I'll open a gap so you can see what's happening outside.
