Name: Serteria, Nartheis rank Ranvil low level three
Magic: disease in cursed blessing
Unique ability: complete fusion: when the triplets merge, their strength is added together; upon activating this ability, the user can reduce the fusion time in exchange for doubling the power of the fusion's sum.
Since he could see the opponent's level, that meant they were on the same level. That was because he still had the pact that placed his body on their level, which is how the system made the analysis for him to see the opponents' level. With focus, Enrico sighed; this opponent was troublesome, but it was possible to win if he executed his plan well.
[This one will cause a lot of trouble]
'Yes, that's why I prepared something interesting before we start the fight'
"I found you, human"
When Serteria saw Enrico start running straight at him, it was because the three brothers saw Enrico as the greatest threat, so they had to start with him. When Serteria was a few meters away, he snapped his fingers, causing an explosion that made him fall into the hole.
"HUMAN"
"Sorry, but I need some time"
Seeing him fall into the cloud, he knew this wouldn't last long, because he would return once he realized he could step on the disease magic that could turn into something physical. He did this for two reasons: the first was that if he didn't discover his ability in time, he wouldn't be able to climb back up with so many kilometers of distance; the second reason was to rest his body a little more, so he could fight with everything against this rank Ranvil level three.
'System, do you want to know something?'
[What is it?]
'I love crushing rank Ranvil'
The system stayed silent for a moment until it remembered the times Enrico had been defeated by rank Ranvil. That made it agree with him, because it also didn't like seeing its breadwinner lose.
[You're right, I also like seeing you crush them]
"So that was your plan, Professor? I should have known it would be like this"
"My Ketsumei, your plan was incredible, now one more Nartheis has been eliminated"
"But of course, I knew he had a plan… but even so, don't worry us like that"
Seeing that inside Aoi's mask there were threatening eyes and Rina agreeing, Enrico decided to wave to calm them down. It seemed he was worrying them the same way he did during the two years of the barrier.
'I have to be more careful not to worry them like that again'
[How cute, do you want a lollipop for your worried thoughts about them?]
'I prefer savory'
Looking at where Aina was, Enrico saw her fighting a humanoid Nartheis with the appearance of an eagle. She used her reconstitution magic together with water magic to stop the attacks of the Nartheis's wind magic.
Name: Agheria, Nartheis rank Ranvil low level three
Magic: Wind
Unique ability: rest of the skies: while flying in the skies, the user can fully regenerate from severe attacks.
'The only way to kill this Nartheis is with a powerful attack that disintegrates it without leaving a trace'
Looking in the direction where Takeshi was, the two were facing a Nartheis with a round appearance and spikes all over its body. As the fight continued, he saw the Nartheis spinning into a ball of spikes to hit him. When it didn't hit, it changed its body form to a slimmer one and used the spikes on its back as swords.
'This is the fourth strongest Nartheis in this dungeon'
Enrico couldn't see this Nartheis's level, but the system could see that the two circle sevens were facing a powerful enemy.
Name: Espeor, Nartheis rank Ranvil high level three
Magic: Spikes
Unique ability: body change: the user can change their body to a muscular form that is physically stronger, a slimmer one that is faster, a fat one with more damage, and a tall one with long-range attacks.
"Wind magic: hurricane spear"
Takeshi used his wind magic on the spear to deflect all the spike attacks thrown at him. Meanwhile, behind him, Raizen prepared his reconstitution magic just like Aina, but this would be a magical attack combined with his earth affinity.
"Raizen, I need time"
"Understood, Lord Raizen"
Takeshi placed himself in front of Raizen, waiting for the opponent's next move. Espeor advanced, his body inflating into a mass the instant it collided with the ground, making the spikes on his back expand like irregular pillars, tearing the ground apart and forcing Takeshi to retreat at high speed along with his lord.
"My lord, I'll try to distract him from the front"
"Alright, you just need to hold on for a while"
The physical pressure was absurd, each impact loaded with mana enough to break common defenses as if they were paper, so staying with his lord behind him would be idiocy on his part.
'I almost looked like a complete idiot just now… I hope my future emperor didn't see that'
Takeshi knew that someone in that hall would be the emperor of Tsuyokuni, excluding those who were not part of the Akirama family, because Raizen himself said he didn't want to be an emperor and that in the future he simply wanted to rest.
'We're the same age, but he's so lazy outside of battles or the Akirama family'
Takeshi spun the spear with precision, wind magic wrapping around the blade in compact spirals.
"Wind thrust"
Each thrust deflected spikes launched in barrages, grinding them up in the air before they reached his body. Even so, the quantity was too great. Espeor changed to a slimmer form in the middle of the attack, reducing his body area and drastically increasing his speed. In the blink of an eye, the Nartheis appeared beside Takeshi, the spikes on his back stretching like curved blades.
"Curved spikes"
The impact was partially contained by the concentrated wind current on the spear, but the force still pushed Takeshi several meters back, leaving deep marks on the ground.
'He's very strong… I still need to evolve even more for the sake of Tsuyokuni'
"Time to die, you insect"
Before Espeor could take advantage of the opening he himself created with a cruel smile, the ground beneath him abruptly solidified.
"Reconstituted earth zone"
Raizen had finished his preparation, now with his magics one hundred percent combined. The hardened surface not only limited movement, but also began draining part of the kinetic energy of the Nartheis's attacks and caused constant damage to his body from the particles of earth flying in the air. With a lazy smile, he pointed at Espeor.
"Sorry, but the insect who's going to die here is you"
