Chapter 244: Chapter 244 Battling the Twins Part 01.
As the two girls saw Soma disappear from their back, in an instant, they witnessed Mark get blown away toward the other place while Soma was chasing him.
Carla and Liliru, who saw that happening, their patience was running low. Simultaneously, they tore the silver chain on their neck, and their figure turned red with horns and wings.
Hina and Xiao Lian also prepare their respective weapon and stance, albeit still clouded by doubt, but they stand firm together to finish the task Soma had given to them.
"Big sis".
"Yeah".
The twins, who seemed to have planned something, began to focus their mana on their wings, trying to flee from the battlefield that had been set for them.
"Like I will let you!".
With gritted teeth, Hina drew the green katana on her waist and accelerated forward. With the additional stats bonus the weapon and Hagoromo had, her speed reached an unimaginable feat for her current level, which made her skin feel like peeling off.
However, she kept persisting to thrive forward, and that was proven as one of the twins. The little sister who stood nearby from them, her magic circulation disrupted, and Hina, who saw a chance, swung her katana diagonally to sever one of the wings of the little sister Liliru.
"Kyaaak, you dare!".
Liliru intended to choke Hina in place, but her figure had already vanished and went straight toward her big sister.
"Big sis!".
"?!".
Carla, who got alarmed, hurried and jumped from her place and managed to dodge Hina's slash from severing her wings. Hina began to chase after the big sister while shouting.
"Silver hair".
"Mm"
Xiao Lian, who understood what Hina meant, lowered her stance, and then in a single breath, she leaped forward and arrived near Liliru, who entered her range of spear.
With a single fluid motion, she thrust her spear forward, aimed at Liliru's heart, but because of the difference in their stats between Xiao Lian and Liliru, her attack got dodged easily.
However, Xiao Lian did not give up as she kept relentlessly attacking, thrusting her spear and slashing it to the side to intercept its next movement.
"Tch, persistent".
Liliru summoned her long sword in hand and began to take the initiative of engaging in combat. Her agile and powerful slash made Xiao Lian struggle to dodge or block her attack, but Xiao Lian managed to do it with grit and full concentration she trained ever since she was little.
Unlike any demon that Soma had fought, the twins, especially the little sister, only received a tiny amount of devil blood, and that also had already dilated more than dozens of times, making their demon regenerative power feel slightly inferior compared to Mark and Carla, which made Lliliru, who had lost her wing, still unable to regenerate it.
"Got you!".
Xiao Lian, whose stance was crumbled by Liliru, saw the incoming thrust from the front straight toward her left chest. Xiao LIan's ear started to ring, and her heart thumped in fright, but a sudden flash that interrupted their battle came, shone bright, and blinded not just the enemy but herself.
However, thanks to that, the sword trajectory slightly missed its target, and it grazed only Xiao Lian's left shoulder.
"Hang in there, Xiao Lian".
Lucy stood a few meters away from Xiao Lian's back; around her, there were many magic circles that had accumulated enough mana, and were ready to shoot.
With a gentle wave from her hand, Lucy released the magic around her, and it rained down upon the demon and Xiao Lian. However, the magic that got shot toward Xiao Lian had no effect. Instead, it was healing Xiao Lian's bleeding left shoulder from the earlier strike.
Liliru, who felt the intense heat from the light, leaped back, creating a distance, while trying to recover her eyes, which had blackened out.
"Xiao Lian, you okay?".
"Senior Lucy?".
A gentle tap from Lucy toward Xiao Lian's shoulder sent a warm feeling coursing through her body, healing the damaged tissues and invigorating Xiao Liaan's spirit. Gradually, her sight was restored, and she saw the demon still struggling to recover her sight.
"This is my chance".
"Hold it, Xiao Lian".
"Mm?".
Lucy stepped back a little and stood behind Xiao Lian. She clasped her palms together like a praying gesture, her body glowing bright in golden, permeating a holy aura that made Liliru's skin tingle in fright.
A hallo From her palm emerged that circled her body before the same thing also emerged from Xiao Lian's body, startling her.
"This is? Mm?!".

"Ukh!".
A load of power began to enter Xiao Lian's body from inside, her whole body clad in a thin golden glow that came from the halo that emerged and spun around her.
Xiao Lian, who felt a tremendous power residing inside her, prepared her stance and held the spear using only one hand, retracting it backward in the throwing position.
"Azure Dragon, help me!".
The temperature surrounding her turned humid as a myriad of mist that came out from thin air began to gather around them. Her right hand, which was holding the spear, started to tremble as the spear reached out to her wish.
"Kuh, finally it wore off, hm?".
Liliru, who regained her sight, stared at the swirling halo and water from her enemy's side. She knit her brows upon looking at the holy light that permeated from the woman in the back, but if it was against water, she had a little bit of composure in handling that.
She began channeling a huge amount of mana toward her hands and began to imagine the magic she wanted to unleash.
However, one thing that Liliru doesn't know is that the Xiao Lian spear was a Legend Grade weapon that her boss didn't even have.
Xiao Lian, who was entrapped by the golden halo and swirling water around her, clenched the spear tight. As if responding to the user's will, the trembling slightly dimmed, and the water surrounding them began coiling itself like a serpent on the spear.
The water keeps pouring in, and it keeps getting compressed by the spear itself. As the power that compressed had enough, the spear started humming while letting out a blue glow that shook the air around Xiao Lian.
Xiao Lian, who felt the time had come, exhaled the breath she unconsciously held.
"Azure spear!".
She tightened her grip and held her breath as she transferred all of her power through her body toward her right hand, and with all of her power, released the spear flow in a straight line, trying to pierce the demon.
"Fly, Azure Dragon Roar".
The ground shook as the spear that flew in a straight line transformed into an eastern dragon with its long body, deer antlers, and myriad sleek scales around its body that were created by water, opening its maw.
Liliru, who saw the incoming, started to tremble in fright while also letting out a cold sweat, drenching her body. But she gritted her teeth and believed her magic could block that attack as she placed both palms on the ground.
[Level 6 Earth Magic]
"Great wall!".
From below the ground, a thick and humongous wall began to be erected. Not just one, but multiple walls started to emerge one at a time until they collided with the dragon.
The blue dragon halted for a moment before it roared as its pride got wounded. One by one, the spears penetrated the wall, making Liliru, who made it, feel a sense of dread. The spear penetrated the multiple walls until it left the last one.
However, the power from the spear was too great, as expected from the legendary grade. The thick wall penetrated and only left Liliru, who crouched while absentmindedly seeing the maw that swallowed her entire head, ending her life.
