The Power of the Champion

Allen sighed in admiration as he watched the scene before him unfold. Akira’s sword crackled loudly with azure lightning. It hadn’t even been a year since he’d sparred with her, but she had clearly become much stronger.

He knew if they were to spar again, he wouldn’t be able to defeat her so easily, but that was no surprise. It had only taken her about two years to reach the level she had been at during their last encounter. It was only natural that, given a further six months, she would make huge strides. It wasn’t Akirawho impressed Allen at all, but the demon who deftly deflected Akira’s fierce attack.

“From how he talked, I figured it was more of a rear guard type, but I guess not, huh?” said Allen.

“It wouldn’t have chosen to show his face if it couldn’t defend itself,” said Anriette. “Although...wouldn’t that mean it wasn’t the one watching us?”

“Hmm... Nah, it probably was,” said Allen. “I don’t feel like I’m being watched anymore.”

Allen had noticed there was some kind of trap set up in the room. Technically there really wasn’t anything there, but occasionally he’d notice a slight distortion in the air. From that alone, it was clear that some sort of trap was in play. He hadn’t mentioned it because he could tell they were being watched. Why give their observer information that might help it, especially when it was likely to be a demon—the perfect entity from whom to extract a lead? Letting the wrong information slip might have sent it packing, and Anriette had seemed to arrive at the same conclusion without him needing to communicate it to her.

The demon showing itself meant the first part of his plan was complete. The next part depended on Akira.

“Shouldn’t you help her?” asked Anriette.

“You think so? Yeah, the demon’s defending itself well, but she’s still got the upper hand. I don’t wanna get yelled at for getting in her way.”

“I guess she does seem like that kinda person,” said Anriette.

The battle before them continued as the two talked. Blue lightning coursed from Akira’s sword every time she took a swing, scorching the floor and walls. At first glance, the lightning didn’t seem particularly harmful, but Akira had told Allen that it only showed its true power when the sword struck a being associated with demons. In those moments, the holy sword Hauteclaire would exponentially multiply its power. The lightning that sparked from the blade was nothing more than an aftereffect.

Allen had seen the sword slay a being as powerful as the mighty dragon. It should have no trouble with a demon, provided Akira could actually make contact. With every swing, a shrill sound resounded, followed by a grunt of discontent from Akira.

“Damn it! Not again!” she cried. “Is that all you know how to do? Block with your arm?”

“What a strange thing to say,” said the demon. “This is where my power lies. Of course I shall defend myself this way. If
