CHAPTER 94: THE BATTLE AT THE PODIUM (PART 1)

As soon as Mira’s feet entered the activation area, the black mist expanded in an instant, covering the entire floor.

「Eh… what’s happening?」

There was one more change. As soon as the Dark Knight and Holy Knights were touched by the mist, they broke down like something had corroded them.

「That mist is a curse that consumes spirits. Summoned spirit arms are probably affected as well.」

Mira heard someone say from above.A spirit consuming curse. Because of it, the stillness spirit Worthramble and water spirit Anlutine had been unable to get close enough to rescue their friend residing inside the holy sword.And from what they had seen, the curse even affected summoned spirits.Mira pouted as she glared at the skeleton. If he started attacking, she would be unable to fend off a close range fight, and since she was still unaware of the holy sword’s power, she wanted to avoid that at all costs.Yet the skeleton remained still. It was much more wary and attentive than before, but it appeared Mira was still out of range.Seeing that, Mira once again set some summoning spots around her. Spirit class summons would be useless against the black mist, so Mira thought of the most suitable ones from other classes that could help her.

Summoning Magic: GalumSummoning Magic: ArlawneSummoning Magic: Popotwise

Three magic circles of different classes appeared, Mira’s reliable comrades appearing from them.

A large wolf crawled out of the whirlpool of flames and stood next to Mira, then from the ring of light in the air came a small owl that perched itself on Mira’s shoulder. At the same time, luscious greenery covered the floor and walls of the shrine.The wolf, Galum, had a body around three meters long, covered in black fur, and his tail was thicker than Mira’s arm.He looked intently at the skeleton, identifying it as their enemy, and then turned to look at his master, Mira. After he looked at her face for long enough, Galum turned to look ahead again. While his master’s mana and presence remained unchanged, Mira’s appearance looked like a completely different person.

「Master, you look so cute. Are you trying out a new look?」

A voice reminiscent of that from a young girl rang beside Mira’s ear. Galum also nodded thinking the same.The source of that voice was the owl, Popotwise. With the curious name of the wise Popot, it was one of the rare low level summons that were able to speak, just like Cait Sith.

「I guess you can call it that. But really, where did you learn a term like ‘new look’ anyway?」「I learned a lot of new words, and also studied more magic. Was I good?」

Popotwise spoke while blinking her round eyes and tilting her head from one side to another.

「Ohh, you’re quite the clever girl!」

Having so much cuteness in front of her, Mira could not resist cuddling Popotwise to her bosom and petting her head, praising her like she would a granddaughter.Popotwise narrowed her eyes in joy, while Galum watched that with jealous eyes, before letting his tail stand upright and releasing roaring flames from it.Noticing that sudden red glow and heat, Mira turned to look at Galum, her gaze following the flames up until she saw the two spirits standing on the ceiling being heated up by the fire.

「Now now Galum, don’t be so impatient.」

Mira quickly tried to calm down the excited Galum, heaving a sigh of relief after seeing the two spirits protected behind a film of water.Meanwhile Galum hung his tail and head down, crying like a little puppy.

「Still, that was really amazing. I see you’ve been hard at work as well, good boy.」

Once the flames were stopped, she gently caressed his snout with a curious look on her face, realizing he had just shown a skill she had never seen before. Hearing that, Galum regained his spirits hearing his efforts being praised, the wagging of his tail sounding like a heavy object being waved through the air at high speed.A short moment later, a vine crawled up Mira’s body and between her and the other summons. At the end of the vine stood Arlawne’s doll-like figure with a flower on her head.

「You look good as well.」 Mira told her, to which Arlawne replied by moving the flower on her head closer to Mira and letting out a sweet scent.

Arlawne expressed her emotions through the scents of the flower. The game was unable to recreate any scents or smells, so Mira only got to truly experience that now.

(A sweet scent represented deep affection, if I remember correctly. But really… this is such a nice scent…)

Mira was deeply knowledgeable about all sorts of summons, so she started to recall Arlawne’s details while she breathed in more of that sweet scent.Their reunion after so many years quickly filled the place with harmonious voices and sounds, while the two spirits stood confused up in the ceiling.

A thundering noise and a red flash of light shook the entire podium as the skeleton was launched downwards and crashed against the floor with a muted thud.

‘Flame Barrage!’

Not even an instant passed before countless fireballs rained down on the place the skeleton hit. That was Popotwise’s magic attack.

「Hmm, it’s quite a sturdy one.」
