After being struck by a tornado, Hina's body gets slamd into a wall and then crashes into several things, blowing her consciousness away. Hina regained his senses slowly as her eyes fluttered open; she saw an unfamiliar broken ceiling, and her body was feeling heavy for so reason.
She looked toward the source only to find her limbs and stomach were being pressed by building debris. Hina tense her muscles, and then her face grimaced because of the searing pain that pierced her nerves.
"What happened?".
The pain was coming from her left foot; probably, it was being stuck to sothing, which led to an injury. Gritting her teeth, Hina pushed away the rubble that restrained her hands before she removed that pressed against her stomach.
While fighting over the pain that keeps torturing her mind, Hina forces her body to wake up and prepares to remove the debris where her left foot is.
"Here we go! You can do this! You can do this!".
Using the words as her ntal protection, Hina slowly lifted the heavy marbles, her whole body trembling with pain and relief as the weight had been released from her foot.
There, she saw her ankle was broken and twisted in another way. Hina gulped her saliva to moisten her parched throat. She morized that even though an advanced potion could cure any wound and an elixir could restore so missing limbs, the case would be different if it was broken as the one Hina had.
In this case, Hina had to twist the ankle into its position to prevent the twisted healing process because healing itself is not like turning back ti but only speeds up the recovery process. So, if it was left that way, Hina would have to live with her twisted foot for life.
'Should I cut it and use Elixir to make it grow back?'. Hina, who reached that extre conclusion, cast her gaze around her to see her green Katana lying near her side.
With a cold and trembling hand, Hina reached out to the Katana hilt and held her clattering teeth with grit. Instead of pain, the fear that gripped her heart overwheld her mind.
[Saint Lucy Blessing activated]
[Healing ability activated]
[Restore every wound of the users]
Ti moved backward as Hina watched the twisted ankle she had glowed in golden light and began to rotate, returning to its usual place. The light began to cloak her entire being, dismissing away her anxiety and pain all over her body.
"Thank you, Senior Lucy".
Hina shed a sigh of relief to see that her body had returned to its usual state. Slowly, she moves her ankle, twisting it around to see if there are still abnormalities. 'Everything's normal'.
She stood up and witnessed the place, which was so kind of work office, with many desks filled with a stack of docunts and computers, but not a single soul was in sight. Hina jumped off the crumbled desk and the things she destroyed as her body got blasted in here, then walked toward the broken window.
A cold mid-winter breeze caressed her cheek, opening her eyes wide to the situation that happened below. Then, a burst of overwhelming power filled the atmosphere, inviting a violent vortex that swallowed her entire comrades.
'Kuh, What happened!?'. Hina crossed her hands in front, blocking her sight.
When the wind started to calm down, Hina slowly opened her eyes and saw Serfina. By her side, there was a beast cloaked entirely by wind. Even from afar, Hina could see that it possessed imnse power that could help them in this situation.
The battle begins, and Hina watches Serafina and the demon exchange magic attacks. Serafina ca out victorious but with a surprise as the demon started to reveal its true form.
'Demon!'. Hina's eyes knitted in a frown, her anger that bottled up for causing her to experience nasty things earlier resurfaces.
However, at the sa ti, she realizes that with her current strength, forgetting about defeating her, even giving the demon a scratch on her skin, is already considered a miracle.
'What should I do? The demon had the ability to see a few seconds into the future, and because of that, our first attack ended in failure and gave a hard ti…'. She looked into the battlefield once more and saw Xiao Lian blasted several ters behind. She paused for a brief second before she dashed forward in a frontal assault.
"Xiao Lian, how?". 'Just be yourself!'.
All of a sudden, Soma's words rang in her mind, clearing all the doubt she had and anxiety that started gnawing at her mind. She started to recall her ti with Soma, which was filled with nothing but recklessness and a will to win no matter what it took.
Hina bit her lips, leaving a trail of blood that stread down her chin. She slapped her cheek hard and once more, with a burning gaze, looked toward the battlefield.
'I should go there, but it's still not enough. To defeat soone that can predict my attack, I must create more options, dozens, hundreds, thousands, or… just one!'.
Without her realizing it, her body had shot forward. Hina clenched the Katana hilt in her hands while activating her original magic. 'Rember! At that ti in that place, when you saw the figure of Soma being blasted by those Silver pillars, the grief that crushed my heart, the anger that couldn't be described crushing my mind piece by piece, rember those Hatreds!'.
[Original Magic - Kusanagi no Tsurugi]
As the fla blazed through any hurdles, Hina's eyes turned much darker and murkier. Recalling the hatred she always dismissed inside, she let it go berserk. In her darkened heart, the only thing that Hina had in mind was to 'Kill!'
After regaining her new spirit, Hina's field of vision spread, and she could see the bigger picture of the battle. A raging tide of the Loong Dragon shot forward from Xiao Lian, and Hina anticipated the demon's movent. 'Here!'
"Drop dead, you Bat!". Hina swung her flaming Katana, which severed one of the demon's wings.
A blood-curdling scream echoed within the battlefield, halting everyone's thought process. But Hina, who wasn't affected, used the montum of her swing to spin in mid-air and launch an axe kick that hit the demon's face head-on.
"You're too loud!".
"Leader, you okay…?". Serafina's voice turned quieter at the end as she saw the condition of her leader, who seed to let out a disturbing aura around her.
The gaze that was devoid of any interest and the killing intent that perated from her being made Serafina's body shudder. 'What is happening to her?'.
"Hina!? You okay?". Only Xiao Lian, with her nerves of steel, didn't feel disturbed by the change that happened to Hina.
"Aah, don't worry!".
The demon blasted all the smoke that covered her entire field, baring its fangs toward the one that severed her wing.
"How dare you!".

"Shut the fuck up! Sera backs up with your wind magic, increases the temperature around and my blade, and, if possible, you could distract the enemy with so range magic. Do that also to Xiao Lian; however, instead of increasing it, lower the temperature for her. Can you do that?".
A barrage of instructions from Hina overwheld Serafina at first, but after hearing the trust Hina had thrown at her, Serafina grinned fearlessly and summoned the Byakko to her side.
"Leave it to !".
"Xiao Lian, let's go wild!".
"Mm, Roger, leader!".
Hina and Xiao Lian dash forward, ignoring the demon who is preparing the magic circle. From behind them, a gentle breeze began to envelop both of them, giving them more power and pushing their magic to its limit.
Anna, still occupied by the magic circle, stared at the approaching two while her eyes flashed a golden light for a mont. However, that was proven fatal as she saw an endless darkness filled with malice that assaulted her consciousness. Even though it was hard to just stay within that dark place, her entire being began to sink, swallowed by an invisible force that drowned her consciousness to the depths of the Abyss.
Being assaulted by both thoughts from the enemies that approached her, she grits her teeth and is forced to end her vision to keep her mind intact. 'What was that!?'.
She felt a chill that approached with flaming Katana in sight; with just a swing, a line ford on the magic circle before it shattered into a thousand shards. Anna, who was cornered, cloaked her entire being using mana to enhance its physical capabilities.
Both Anna's arm and the flaming Katana collided with a 'clank!'. However, soon, she felt a searing heat that scorched her skin, and a trail of blue blood dropped to the ground.
'This is bad!?'.
Before Anna could have ti to think, another attack ca from her side, a blue spear thrust at the side of her head. She dodges it by tilting her head behind. Torn between the two attacks, Anna grits her teeth and holds the spear shaft before clashing it with the blade as she takes her leave.
Anna, who managed to gain so distance, stared at the two figures of her enemies with raging fla and absolute ice. The eyes that stared at her opened up a wound that she had sealed away deep in her consciousness.
"Don't you dare underestimate !".
