The sounds of our battle had evolved from mere echoes to thunderous roars of destruction.

With Karlia and I on one side and the Martial Blade God on the other, we charged and fought, causing so much destruction that I couldn't even begin to fathom the extent of the damage.

At some point, I had to move Serah to my pocket dimension due to the extensive damage we were wreaking.

For miles upon miles, the crater we just created kept spreading, creating a gaping hole in the ground. No clouds remained in the sky as well.

Despite all this damage, Karlia and I were still nowhere near defeating our foe.

"Hahaha! Not bad, Jared. You've done well to keep up!" Karlia made a loud and confident laugh.

I could do nothing but smile at her words.

Honestly, compared to the Karlia I knew in the past, she was even more of a monster now. I was barely contributing to the fight since she carried most of the destructive power between the both of us.

I handled some side attacks and feints, but I had to rely on Karlia if we wanted to hit hard. When it came to defence too, she also took the hit.

As I had now come to realize… Karlia was completely immortal!

Even the Martial Blade God couldn't kill her!

With every strike he used to kill her, she returned much stronger than before—completely adapting to the attack. As a result, the Martial Blade God had to resort to different attacks each time—killing her over and over again!

It felt awful to watch Karlia die in front of me so many times, but if she didn't take the fall, I would. And unlike her indestructible and completely restorable body, mine was far too weak.

One serious hit from the Martial Blade God was bound to kill me.

"Both of you… are quite formidable." The Martial Blade God muttered, looking at us with an expression I had never expected him to make.

He was grinning widely.

It wasn't his usual stoic look, and neither was he smiling gently. No, the Martial Blade God had a smile that displayed excitement.

"How long has it been since I fought like this? Even in Martial State, I am unable to defeat you." I knew Karlia deserved most of the credit for his words.

Once or twice, thanks to our collaboration and well-synced attacks, Karlia was able to land hits on him. Those were the only times we were able to damage him, yet he had already healed from them.

Comparing that to how many times Karlia had died… the gap was just too wide.

"Hahaha! It's only a matter of time. We'll be the winners!" Karlia laughed confidently, displaying her sharp teeth.

Her optimistic attitude and cheerful personality in this fight were the only things that prevented me from giving up completely. Her presence gave me confidence, and despite my weakness, I did all I could to ensure that I could support her.

We were currently resonating with each other, so we shared our thoughts. Coupled with the fact that we were currently fighting side by side, the feeling was indescribably awesome.

Even though we were putting our lives on the line, and any mistake guaranteed instant death, I could not deny how much fun I was having.

With Karlia… this battle suddenly felt too good to be true.

~Let's do this, Lewis!~ I heard her prompt me from within, and I instantly heeded her call.

'Alright!'

My [Great Sage's Memoir] was right in front of me, and I flipped the pages to utilize the abilities I could.

No matter how powerful my Spells were, they couldn't compare to Karlia's, so I chose to support her instead.

Using [Justice], I evened the playing field as much as I could between the Martial Blade God and Karlia.

[The Hermit] made the both of us much faster by speeding up our time, thus making us capable of keeping up with his speed.

[Judgement] helped me create projectiles for distracting the Martial Blade God, or to even serve as constraints. Though, my projections hardly did anything meaningful to stop him.

I used Damien's Original Magic, which I improved, to switch places with Karlia—or vice versa—when the need called for it, and with my [Strength] Arcana, coupled with [Wheel Of Fortune], I was able to somewhat keep up and survive.

So far, it had been a stalemate, and that was simply because of our different methods of fighting. While Karlia and I relied on strategy mixed with force, the Martial Blade God preferred to attack us head-on.

As expected of a true Martial Artist!

With my current strategy, Karlia utilized a multitude of her abilities at once, engulfing herself in multicoloured light. Her body became tougher than anything, and she was easily able to evade the Martial Blade God's strike.

She passed through his follow-up attack, and a double of her assaulted him from behind. This was stopped by the shield protecting the Martial Blade God.

However, Karlia was one step ahead.

In a bright explosion, both she and her clone exploded, reducing the integrity of the shield. Several Karlias appeared, absorbing the rest of the shield, and leaving the opponent bare.

Several blades appeared to pierce Karlia—what the Martial Blade God called the Mind's Blade—but I countered by creating lots of projections to match their attacks.

One of his blades took at least a hundred projections to slow down, and I knew I couldn't keep it up forever.

Fortunately, I bought enough time for Karlia to pass through the ongoing assault and prepare to land her very powerful strike—one borne from the all-destroying power of [The Sun].

Just to be certain of our victory, I used more projections to halt the Martial Blade God in his tracks, making him unable to move due to the vulnerable position he was in.

Karlia went for the strike, putting all her strength into her thrust, no doubt.

Once again, a loud explosion roared through the air.

Unfortunately, it wasn't because Karlia succeeded in killing the Martial Blade God. Rather, he released a huge surge that countered her hit and even consumed her.

That was another death for Karlia.

"Haa… he's one tough fellow!" She appeared right beside me, completely regenerated.

'It never gets old.' I thought to myself as she grinned at me.

"We almost got him that one time. Want to try again? Got any other strategy?" She laughed, grinning at me as she winked.

I didn't realize when I too started laughing like she was. The feeling was exhilarating for some reason. Feeling what she felt and working with her to this extent… It was too thrilling to pass up!

"Of course! Leave it to me!"

"Hehehe! We make a pretty good team." Karlia laughed, ready to give it another shot as we both saw the Martial Blade God emerge from the smoke.

"Indeed!"

I genuinely felt satisfied with Karlia, even as we fought in this extremely dangerous situation. It surprised me so much, considering how long it had been since I felt something like this.

Somehow, only she could inspire this kind of reaction from me.

'No, Jared, what are you doing?!' I cautioned myself as I focused on the battle in front of me.

What was I truly doing? Just when I had publicly confessed my feelings for Maria and I was making progress on that front, I was once again drooling over Karlia.

'This has to stop!' I told myself.

As much as I enjoyed her company, I could not betray Maria's trust and our bond.

However, despite these thoughts interrupting our moment, I found myself enjoying Karlia's company more and more. And as a result…

… A certain guilt began to plague me.

'I can't make the same mistake as last time! I must not!'

[A/N]
