As fellow practitioners of Slayer Magic, both Zera and Lena possess immunity to fire damage and the ability to consume the opponent's magic to restore their own physical strength.
However, in terms of controlling flames, the gap between the two is far too wide.
After exchanging several moves, Zera was repeatedly suppressed.
In contrast, Lena became more proficient as she fought, as if she had entered an invincible state- the entire battlefield was filled with her laughter.
"Fire God's Bellow!!"
"Fire Devil's Passion!!"
Boom—!!
It was another violent collision of flames.
Yet this time, after the intense tremors subsided, an unexpected scene occurred—
The remnants of the flames actually reignited from the ashes, and two tiny wisps of fire shot up.
They were like a pair of lovers in a deep romance, tightly intertwining their bodies until they merged into one, forming a state of 'you within me, and I within you', indistinguishable from each other.
Unfortunately, due to insufficient magical power, the merged flames quickly dissipated.
Leaving behind only a crisp 'pop'.
Although the entire process only lasted a few short seconds, not a single detail escaped the eyes of Zera and Lena.
Zera couldn't help but let out a cold laugh and remarked: "Is your magic, just like you, full of such a... perverse flavor..."
Compared to Zera's 'misinterpretation', Lena was far more knowledgeable.
"You little brat, you don't even have this much insight?"
"Look closely, this is Unison Raid!"
Unison... Raid?
Zera had learned about this term.
'Fusion Magic' is different from 'Combination Magic'.
The latter is simply coordinating multiple magics to be cast together, where the damage effect is roughly 'N+M';
While the former occurs when both parties have similar magical power, compatible magic attributes, and their hearts are in sync, allowing them to fuse their respective magics into one stronger magic. The damage effect is 'N×M', or even 'NM'.
Fusion Magic is something that an average person might not be able to achieve even with decades of hard work.
Even though Zera, Mavis, and Weston grew up together, eating and sleeping in the same place with deeply intertwined magical powers, the number of times they successfully performed Fusion Magic was still few and far between.
But now, her own magical power had actually fused with the magical power of the enemy before her?
Thinking carefully, her magic is 'Fire God' and the opponent's magic is 'Fire Devil', so a fusion occurring isn't entirely unexpected.
However...
What is this sense of immorality that is frantically bubbling up from the depths of her heart?!
No, she couldn't think about it anymore!
'Slap slap'—
Zera slapped her own cheeks hard to pull herself back together.
Opposite her, Lena noticed Zera's actions and looked bewildered.
'What on earth is this brat doing? Why did she suddenly slap her own face?'
'Since you're spacing out, don't blame me!'
"Fire-Devil Make: White Emperor Sword!!"
Accompanied by a loud shout, Lena fused Fire Devil Slayer Magic with Fire Make Magic to create a forty-meter-long giant flame sword, which slashed straight down at Zera!
Before the heavy sword even arrived, the sword pressure came first like a mountain-collapsing wave.
Zera was startled and hastily used her strongest move.
"Fire God's Feast!!"
Surging magical power roared out, and the black flames in her hands transformed into a pair of giant crows.
The crows opened their huge mouths and bit down on the giant sword that was slashing toward them. Then, they actually advanced along the blade, 'munching and crunching' until they ate the entire sword!
"What?!"
"What kind of magic is this?!"
Lena was instantly aghast, breaking out in a cold sweat.
Because she discovered that as the black crows consumed the giant sword, the aura on their bodies became even stronger, meaning her magic had been devoured.
The speed of the two giant crows was extremely fast. They merged while running and in the blink of an eye transformed into a giant fireball that arrived in front of Lena.
'I absolutely cannot be hit by it, otherwise my magical power will also be devoured!'
With a thought, Lena also used her strongest defensive move.
"Fire-Devil Make: Phoenix Shield!!!"
A shield emblazoned with a phoenix pattern appeared out of thin air.
Boom—!!
With a loud explosion, the black fireball and the shield perished together.
At the same time, Zera stomped her feet hard on the ground. Two bursts of flames erupted from beneath her long boots, and she shot toward Lena like a rocket.
Although she had been startled by 'Fire God's Feast' moments ago, Lena still noticed Zera's small movements.
"Using flames as thrusters to increase movement speed?"
"Truly a good idea!"
"But repeating the same old trick is destined only to lead to the same failure!"
"As long as I seize control of the flames, your efforts will still be in vain!"
With a flip of her palm, Lena once again snatched away the control of the Fire God's fire.
Sensing that control of the flames had been taken, Zera decisively dissipated the flames under her feet, but she did not fall to the ground because of it.
"What's going on?!"
Lena was greatly shocked but quickly reacted: "The thrusters only gave her an initial burst of speed. Even if the flames are removed, she can still maintain her original speed for a short time!"
While she was thinking, Zera's attack had already approached her face!
At such a distance, Lena no longer had time to fuse magic, but fortunately, she knew Fire Make Magic.
"Fire Make: Shield!!"
With a 'shing', a fire shield appeared out of thin air.
Although it was only created in a hurry, it was already quite sufficient.
Lena's eyes stared fixedly at the fist Zera was swinging, standing ready.
'If you attach flames to your fist, then I can instantly seize control of the flames and make you suffer the consequences;'
'But if you don't attach flames and only rely on the power of an ordinary fist to attack, then such an attack won't hurt at all, and you won't even be able to break through the shield's defense!'
"Little girl, what will you do..."
Just then, an anomaly occurred!
At Zera's elbow, a 'Flame Thruster' appeared once again. The fist instantly erupted, and its speed increased dozens of times over!
Boom—!!!
Zera's high-speed flight was forced to a halt, but the shield also shattered with the sound!
"No way?!"
Lena's expression changed drastically: "Her fist actually has this kind of power?!"
Was this still the frail Wizard in her memory?
Not to mention, this was a girl whose chest wasn't even half the size of her own!
In her shock, Zera had already come within three feet of Lena.
"You may be an expert in fire magic, but you are definitely not an expert in Maker Magic."
"Has no one told you that one-handed molding is unstable and easy to lose out on at critical moments?!"
What?!
Does one-handed molding actually have this flaw?!
Having a combatant who seemingly possessed great strength get close and point out the flaws in her own magic, Lena instantly lost her composure.
"Not good!!"
"With this kind of power and this kind of distance, I must dodge!"
But she no longer had time to put up a resistance!
Bang—!!
Another burst of 'Flame Thrusters' shot from beneath Zera's feet, and her entire person slammed into Lena's chest like a cannonball!
"Fire God's Sword Horn!!!"
"Ugh—!!!"
