I Reincarnated as a Shinai

"They're dying…"

Aria frowned seeing the Sun Fire Knights start struggling. 

"Their Hazy Flash Step is no longer working? This is bad!"

Aria realized what was going on as she noticed some changes in the battlefield.

"There' no longer any Fire Essence?"

She knows that the Fire Essence is required to use the Hazy Flash Step aside from suppressing their targets.

However, once they have disappeared, the Sun Fire Knights could only rely on their weapons and other abilities.

Their signature move, which is something similar to instantaneous movement, was the best ability of the Sun Fire Knights. Without this, they would lose one of their fangs and the tide of battle will naturally change.

Luckily, these Knights are also equipped with Solar Swords which allowed them to fight decisively.

A single injury from the Solar Sword would be extremely painful and considered cursed by the enemies. 

The burning heat it contains, and the almost uncurable wounds it could create, stop the Dark Elves' advance. 

Apparently, any wounds inflicted by the Solar Swords would be extremely difficult to close. They would need special potions to heal them…

Of course, if the target's vitality is stronger than the Solar Sword's ability, it might be a different case. 

"Ugh… Should we help them now?" Stella was considering this for real. After all, if more Knights died, it would be harder for them to save Diether. But if they acted now, they can cooperate with the Knight and lessen the pressure that they are facing.

Stella might now be able to handle many Dark Elves mounted on wolves at the same time, but kiting them shouldn't be a huge problem. 

After all, her Energy Bank is full and she doesn't mind emptying her bank in this battle. 

She then looked at Aria and waited for her answer. 

"Alright, let's save my little brother…" Aria smirked as she clutched her Legendary Ring…

"Wait until I finish casting my large-scale Arcane Magic then we'll move." She added.

"Got it… Show me something incredible. This is my first time seeing the glory of a Legendary Rank, after all." Stella said with admiration on her face.

She can already feel the enormous power coming from the ring even though Aria was still casting…

She had seen several Epic Arcana in action but Legendary Rank wasn't something that she could see every day. 

"Ha~ It's nothing much. Don't get your hopes too high…" Aria said but her eyes were telling her that she's about to do something incredible. 

Stella only nodded as she touched her Spectral Cloth Vambrace ready to charge at the enemies. 

As Aria accumulated her Spiritual Energy… The area's temperature started dropping… A cold breeze suddenly came as the dark elves and the knights were left confused.

Then, they all felt a terrifying Arcane Magic being cast not too far from them…

Both sides were shocked as they immediately disengaged in battle. 

Well, both of them are thinking that it is the reinforcement of the enemy side after all.

Even the Dark Elf leader frowned at the Arcane Magic's power. He was contemplating whether to attack the caster or retreat at this point. 

Apparently, the surrounding area's spiritual energy started gathering on a specific location… He saw a figure controlling a ball of light and pointed it on their battlefield.

"Tsk… You're lucky, kid!"

The leader said as he decided to Diether. However, the young man wouldn't be stopped by this Arcane Magic…

Diether decided to pursue the leader without any hesitation at all!

Haa!

He used his Hazy Flash Step one last time! The Sun Fire Essence scattered was already so low and once he used this ability, he can no longer cast it again to escape!

"Do you think you can run away?!" Diether furiously said as he appeared on top of the tall Dark Elf. 

Before this group of dark elves arrived here, they have destroyed three small villages and killed all the villagers including women, children, and the old.

As long as they are from a different race, these dark elves are merciless!

Diether heard all of this in the report made by the scouts from the Hunter Association. 

This is the reason why he volunteered his elite team to intercept this group of dark elves! If he didn't move now, more innocent lives would be taken by this evil race!

As for the caster of the Arcane Magic behind them, he also felt despair for a moment because he knows that they aren't in a situation to take such a powerful spell if it's destructive-type magic. 

Fortunately, he noticed the Dark Elf leader's reaction and realized that he was also apprehensive about the caster. It means that the figure casting such magic wasn't a part of their group!

This was his chance!

Diether's Solar Sword was suddenly ignited!

He decided to pour all his Spiritual Energy into this attack!

"You! Don't be too cocky!" The Dark Elf was infuriated as Diether suddenly appeared above him! He already gave a chance for Diether to survive and he still followed him!

Since the man was already aiming for his life, the Dark Elf has no choice but to attack as well!

Boom!

Diether's burning Solar Sword made a hazy movement as it pierced the heart of the tall dark elf while the latter's staff smashed his ribs!

Crack!

"Aaahh!"

Both of them suffered injuries but the one that the Dark Elf received was fatal!

'Ugh… He got three of my ribs…'

Ptui!

Diether painfully clutched his right chest where he was hit as he spat out some blood.

As for the Dark Elf, he seemed to have muttered some words before passing out and breathing his last.

As soon as all of this was done, the caster of the terrifying Arcane Magic had also completed their preparation…

'What now?' Diether frowned as he watched the light helplessly. He can't do anything about it. 

A bright pillar of light covered the whole battlefield. 

Diether can't feel any killing intent from the light but he couldn't help to be nervous.

A few seconds passed. As everyone was blinded by the light, the Sun Fire Knights, who are preparing for the worst, were confused.

"We are being healed?"

"M-my injuries are gone!"

"What is this Magic? How can it be so powerful?"

They were all shocked for a moment but suddenly, they heard the Dark Elves and large Phantom Wolves around them crying in pain as their bodies started heating up!
