After the death of the ruler of ERYUA
Arya: What's wrong, Gamma?
Gamma: It's nothing, I'm just not used to killing people.
Arya: Yeah, that's a normal reaction. It's not like I'm telling you to get used to killing, but this is the path you chose. What if you don't fight next time?
Dina: He's right, let us handle it!
Gamma: No, I want to fight! I won't slow you down!
Arya: Haha, whatever you want. By the way, I made some ice cream! Want some?
Dina, Gamma: Of course we do!
Their next destination is the city of YUIRA, and it takes five days of travel. But...
Wushhh, a fire attack flies toward the three of them and is blocked by Arya.
Mars: Hoo, impressive that you could block a surprise attack. Are you really Exone?
Arya: Sorry, who are you?
Mars: Oh, my bad. Let me introduce myself. My name is Mars the Flame, from SEVEN ECLIPSE.
Arya and Dina: Seven Eclipse? What do you want from us?
Mars: Of course to kill you. I've been looking for you for weeks and finally found you. And hmm, according to rumors you're just kids, huh?
Arya: Maybe you got the wrong people.
Mars: Don't lie. The magic energy at the scene matches yours. You left it there on purpose to lure your pursuers?
Arya: Not really.
Mars: Then die! FIRE STORM!
Arya: BARRIER! You two, fall back. Let me handle this. I feel like fighting directly for once.
Dina, Gamma: We're not allowed to fight?
Arya: No, I want to feel an intense fight!
Mars: Are you underestimating me?
Arya: No, I never underestimate my enemies.
Mars unleashes his fire magic. He's an AOE type fighter who attacks everything around him. Arya tries to attack using his spatial magic to move around and get closer.
Arya: Annoying AOE. (Using two pistols with ice and wind bullets, shooting while teleporting. He hasn't reached the target yet.)
Mars: Is that all you've got?!
Mars: INFERNAL BURST! A fire attack bursts from the ground, trying to trap Arya.
Arya: SWAP. (He teleports several meters back, then fires two bullets at Mars, ice and wind, but the attack is swallowed by the flames.)
Arya begins adjusting his rhythm.
Arya: (His fighting style is brutal, but the scale is too big. He's not the type who can read fast attacks.)
Arya prepares his two pistols, each loaded with wind and ice bullets. He runs in a zigzag pattern, jumps between rocks, and teleports randomly using spatial magic.
Arya: FROST SHARD! (A series of ice bullets are fired, hitting the ground and creating small ice walls to limit Mars's movement.)
Mars responds with brute strength.
Mars: STOP RUNNING!! FLAME WAVE! (A massive wave of fire sweeps in all directions, forcing Arya to teleport into the air.)
Arya starts taking control of the fight.
Arya: (diving from the air) Now!
SNOW STORM CANNON!! (Arya fires a large ice spell from a combined pistol — Mars is blown back, some of his flames are extinguished, and parts of his body freeze.)
Mars: What is this?! You're a monster!
Arya teleports behind Mars and points a gun at his head.
Arya: You're strong, but too reckless and your attacks are too repetitive. Bang. (One shot to the head ends the fight.)
Dina: What kind of fighting style is that? Moving around while launching all those attacks.
Gamma: Big bro is so awesome!
Arya: Mwahaha, praise your big brother, my beloved little sister!
Somewhere in a room...
??? : Mars is dead, huh.
??? : I figured. He was just a brute who'd die first.
??? : Who's next? Looks like Exone is seriously dangerous.
??? : Me.
??? : Are you sure?
??? : ...
