Against the World II: Transgression
Chapter 38: Lilithia vs. Neira, part 2
Neira had no doubt that all he faced was a replica of ‒ he had even seen firsthand how Lilithia took out the replicas from the mirror. However, his combat power was not a joke at all. And the more he served the replica attack, the more aggressively he was attacked. No wonder Fie decided to intervene directly in stopping the Twelfth Commander.
Neira teleported away avoiding the slash of the replica Xavier's black fire sword that came in a row. He tried to avoid it and approached the First Commander. Neira has never fought with a mirror magic user like Lilithia, but he believes the replicas of Undead Thevetat and Xavier will disappear if Lilithia is killed. Exterminating Lilithia would be easier than starting out by finishing off replicas of Xavier and Undead Thevetat.
Neira was about to unleash a full-strength gravitational sword slash when suddenly a gravitational wave shot out his body violently. Neira spontaneously teleported, countering the opponent's gravity with his gravity was rather difficult. Lilithia's gravity comes from her magic ‒ she has perfect control. Meanwhile, Neira's gravity came from his sword. His sword ability could only be used to defend or attack, unable to all at once.
As soon as his teleportation was done working, his sword which had been glowing realized two seconds ago instantly he slashed out. His full-strength sword slash, if he aimed at the Amerlesia Mountains, would have made the mountains neatly cut and become as tall as a bunch of grass cut into a scythe. Therefore, despite his target of an albino dragon, Neira believes the energy of his sword slash will cut the dragon's replica in half.
At least, that's if it hits the target.
Unfortunately, the Xavier replica was already on top of the dragon horn and made the direction of Neira's slashing energy turn around. Neira darted quickly upwards, not wanting to receive the effect of his own attack—his body would not be able to withstand the slash.
The action of women from Caligula Kingdom makes the gravitational slash targeting the ocean. The ocean spontaneously split in two diagonally—and a huge bang followed shortly after.
Neira had no time to look at the effect of his sword slash, a wall of gravity slamming into his body from above. He was blown down strongly, but this time he was able to utilize his sword creating a gravitational arch that counteracted the gravitational wall above him. Neira even tried to dart upwards trying to outperform the enemy's gravity.
But maybe that's not a wise thing to do. Gravity walls are rapidly warping. And, before Neira could stop the action, she had been confined in a gravitational bubble. Rather than teleporting out, the first thing that appeared on Neira's head was to warp her gravity to perfectly surround her body.
...* * *...
Lilithia frowned at the sight of her gravity bubble unable to shatter Neira's gravitational bubble. Indeed, he only used the power of one hand grip. However, the strength of one hand was enough to crush the entire Nevada and make it as big as a pebble. And the woman's gravity bubble managed to compensate.
Lilithia screeched, forced to carry her free hand to magnify the gravitational force of her bubble. And just two seconds later, a huge bang echoed after the gravitational bubble shattered and vanished. Unfortunately, Neira Claudian had managed to teleport first.
Seeing the replica of Xavier moving quickly after Neira who had teleported away, Lilithia soared into the air and ordered the replica of Undead Thevetat to attack.
Deciding to join forces, Lilithia brought up a veil of dark purple energy that coated every cubic centimeter of her body. With the energy sheath, anything and anyone two cent away from it will be automatically knocked down. He will not be touched in this gravitational field. Even if Neira appeared suddenly behind him, it would be useless.
Then Lilithia rushed straight towards where Neira was; perfect control over gravity allowed her to move freely in the air. However, the commander's speed cannot be included in the impressive category.
...* * *...
If the former man had made a gravity ball to bend Dragon Breath to the right and left, this time Neira made a U-shaped gravitational curve in front of him. And once the energy laser hits the gravitational arch, it is instantly deflected back at the owner.
The Undead Thevetat replica was fast for its size, but it was too large a ‒ it was impossible for him to avoid having his laser reversed. The replica of the albino dragon would definitely receive severe effects from being hit by its own attack. And Neira will teleport to launch a sword slash that will cut his neck.
Should've. However, instead of being exposed to the laser itself, Thevetat actually swallowed the energy to make his stomach bulge. The shock of that made Neira not teleport. Meanwhile, behind him, the Xavier replica had already puffed out its chest and released a wide-scale black burst of flames. And at the same time, Thevetat's mouth reopened and released massive waves of energy that were impossible to avoid conventionally.
They only move based on Lilithia's instinct, Neira's inner self while teleporting over— makes the replica attack Thevetat collide with Xavier's replica attack.
Gravity in an extremely massive force instantly struck Neira's body after he teleported.
This time, in contrast to before, gravity attacked a large area. The ocean until depressed and the sea tide is extreme. Replicas of Thevetat and replicas of Xavier are also no exception. They are made to crash down, but the Xavier replica directly uses anti-gravity which makes it immune to the effects. Meanwhile, Neira himself had first used his own gravitational field to counter the existing gravity.
Neira's eyes were fixed on the owner of gravity. He was slow, he thought. Neira's sword immediately shimmered, and he quickly darted towards the commander. The gravitational veil surrounding him instantly disappeared as he used the sword's offensive ability. However, the great gravity no longer had an impact on him. The gravitational field he had created had adjusted his body to the outer gravity.
Replica Xavier has come back after him from behind. But Neira only glanced at him at a glance and continued to dart sharply while taking a swing to shake the sword.
Lilithia was certainly not silent. Around him appeared pure purple spears made of the same dark purple energy as those that enveloped the body of the commander. And coinciding with Neira's moving hand, the dozens of spinning spears shot out sharply.
However, suddenly Neira vanished from her position. It was in an instant already on top of a replica of Thevetat that had adjusted to gravity in a rotating body state delivering a sword strike. His sword swung powerfully without being dammed. The massive replica head of Thevetat is immediately separated from the body. Then both parts of his body he froze to then he smashed into pieces.
Since the beginning my target is me—
Neira failed to finish his sentence when suddenly his body was already in the presence of dozens of spinning purple spears. His eyes could only widen in shock as all the spears exploded simultaneously.

#[True Mirror] could not reflect on Supreme Magic, but he could replicate what his mirror caught. Suppose Xavier made his body astral with [Reverse Law], [True Mirror] could make Xavier's replica body astral as well with other magic. However, if the effect caught in the mirror could not be brought up by other than Supreme Magic (for example white fire), then [True Mirror] would not be able to bring up the fire.
