Destiny Holder
Strategy Homura

Katsura who was previously resigned to her fate, suddenly she was illuminated by the light of hope given by Homura.

Katsura who was running out of energy and stamina turned his head towards Homura at the side, he smiled then closed his eyes.

Homura came along with Arizawa, Aizo, Yubino, and Zeldris. The rest settled in the headquarters because Homura told them to follow later.

Ferus' fist was still held back by Homura's rope that pierced through his fist.

"It's the kind of magic I've never seen before, you must be a special person" Ferus said.

"I sensed that I couldn't bring out the magic or energy in my right hand that was being pierced, this must be neutralization magic" he added.

"Absolutely, when the opponent touches my magic, they will also not be able to use magic at all" said Homura with a hint of arrogance, he felt great for having been acknowledged by Ferus.

"Is that really so?" Ferus smiled cunningly.

Homura sensed something evil, his eyes opened wide towards Ferus.

Ferus raised his left hand.

..." Darkness Blast! "...

From the palm of Ferus's hand, created an extremely dense and powerful dark wave, quickly the attack aimed at Homura.

Homura who had realized that first had prepared if his attack failed.

..." The Holy Wall "...

Shortly before Ferus' attack devoured Homura, he created a barrier made from his neutralizing magic. And Ferus' attack vanished.

"Wow is really awesome. Original neutralization magic. I just saw him this time. Plus you are also very unique" Ferus very quickly was already beside Homura as he spoke.

Homura could not look to the side, his entire body was locked instantly. He felt the threat from Ferus' body come out, and it frightened him to the point of sweating.

"Your magic is really interesting and unique, all kinds of magic such as basic elements have been converted directly into neutralization. So the nurse did not change, it's just that the necessary composition is different."

"If a normal person needs a mana, you convert your mana first into neutralizing energy, then it is used as magic. For thousands of years I've never encountered anything like this."

"Is that really from inside you? or maybe.. Any outside help?" Ferus looked at Homura sharply.

The panicked Homura could not hear all Ferus' words, he often thought about how he could escape from it while the members who were with him were evacuating the locals.

Homura used his magic to release the effect Ferus gave, but it was useless because the effect that Homura was feeling right now was purely due to the presence of Ferus nearby. This made him even more panicked because Ferus' energy could not be felt as well.

"Geez, you're so panicked, huh? I was just talking to you, you know."

"How not to panic if the conversation is done this way. You monster!" said Homura's heart.

"It seems like you have a hard time moving, even though you are already powerful enough to attack me without being detected in the slightest by me" Ferus approached Homura with his sharp gaze.

Homura felt more threatened, but suddenly his footing and Ferus were crushed by being hit by someone.

Ferus fell down while Homura was lifted up and taken away. After Homura could move back, the one who took him away was Aizo. He had already finished evacuating the local people.

Aizo took Homura to where Katsura had fainted, and he also took Katsura to a safer place with Homura.

Arriving at a place that felt quite far from the location of Ferus, they planned something first.

"Thank you, Aizo, without you I might have died there" Homura was very grateful.

"Not to think about it, so, how's that Ferus?" ask Aizo.

"He's creepy, like a real nightmare. When he approached me I couldn't move at all, even looking I couldn't. Plus it's not magic, but the effects of its existence."

"really creepy. So, we go up against him while waiting for Katsura to recover so?" ask Zeldris.

"Yes, and also waiting for the headquarters team to finish my research. With Cezo there, I'm sure it will be finished soon" Homura said.

"I'm going to make a plan, first of all the ones that advance in the front row are Aizo and Zeldris, while Yubino you're in charge of finding a gap when Aizo and Zeldris fight against Ferus."

"And I'll be in the back line to make my ultimate move. Ordinary neutralizing magic isn't enough to make him unable to use magic."

"Wait, what do you mean?" Arizawa.

"Say he can't be neutralized. Even if it is only temporary, but it is not enough to defeat him. Just when Ferus wanted to punch Katsura in the head with his magic, after I knocked that right hand out with my magic, he couldn't use magic from his right hand."

"Then?" Arizawa interrupted again.

"So you want us to be bait?" Zeldris is a little worried.

"Yes, don't get too close to him, attack from a distance only. Hold on about 6 minutes ago I might be ready. Are you guys ready?"

"Sure, let's do this" Yubino stepped forward and bravely.

"We take a position" Everything advanced according to Homura's plan.

Aggressively, Zeldris attacked Ferus as he looked for the first time.

..." Bolt Lightning! "...

The electric ball was fired at random, Ferus grasped one electric ball that came to him, after the ball he grasped was destroyed, the other ball was also destroyed, including the one still in the hands of Zeldris.

..." Juryoku No Ikari! "...

Aizo copied Katsura's power, throwing rocks that had been affected by her gravity magic.

"The power to copy others? interesting though.. You're all really interesting!" yell Ferus pleasure.

"It looks like I'm going to raise a little bit of my power, as a gift to you guys."

..." 11 Percent "...

The wind blew from Ferus' body, though not too strong but enough to make Aizo and Zeldris tremble.

"There's no time for trepidation!" zeldris.

..." Thunder Strike's! '...

Quickly Zeldris punched from the right side of Ferus, accompanied by Aizo also punching from the left side, Ferus held the two with one finger each.

"What-" said Aizo and Zeldris together.

..." Demon Touch's "...

Aizo and Zeldris bounced very far after Ferus chanted, after which Yubino attacked.

..." The Wrath Of Phoenix! "...

The huge Phoenix bird headed towards Ferus who had just attacked. The attack was withheld with one hand.

Suddenly Zeldris was behind Ferus with his lightning sword.

"He's fast" Ferus looked back.

Zeldris didn't want to stay near Ferus for too long, so he just slashed his back. And it makes a wound for Ferus.

After that Zeldris immediately retreated back to Yubino's side.

"Great work!" praise Yubino.

"Awhile more.. Hold your friends" said Homura.

Yubino's Phoenix had vanished, his Phoenix was not strong enough to withstand the pressure of Ferus' existence.

"Looks like you guys shouldn't be taken for granted" his eyes started to get serious.

Meanwhile, Katsura finally opened her eyes.

"Where am I? where's Ferus?!" said.

"Hey calm down, you've run out of energy, rest for a while" Arizawa calmed Katsura down.

"Well, he's not alone?" katsura.

"Yes, after hearing the story of Karma where maybe he went alone."

"Karma? he's back again?"

"Yes, and he gave me a lot of information."

Seriate...
