97. Thunders and Flames (5)

  Evelyne dismisses her flat purple rectangle to regain vision towards Runelt.

  "(W-What the fuck was that? What is his Faith power? A fire transformation type, right? Then, why does his flame possess this much physical capability? Grrr!! This doesn't make sense!!)"

  *!!*

  All of a sudden, Runelt disappeared from Evelyne's sight despite being a distance away from her.

  *BAM*

  In the next blink of her eyes, Evelyne was suddenly punched on her right cheek from behind.

  "AAARRGGHH!!"

  *THUD*

  *THUMP*

  She was sent flying towards the wall on the right side of the audience's seats. Her body crashed into the wall and fell towards the floor below.

  "GAAAHKK!! OHOK, OHOK!!!"

  "(Now, what was that. . . I didn't even see when he moved. . .)"

  *!!!*

  As Evelyne remains lying prone on the floor, she senses heat that grows hotter and hotter by the second. She looks to her front and sees a rotating wing made of golden flame spinning through the floor as if it's a buzzsaw coming towards her.

  "TCH!"

  Evelyne engulfs herself in her yellow lightning, and she disappears from her spot. The rotating golden fiery wing cuts through the wall of the room. The part of the wall that was cut was glowing and melting, showing a clear sign of being cut by something at a very high temperature.

  Evelyne reappears on the stage next to the unconscious Rena.

  "LET'S SEE HOW YOU'LL DO WHEN I GO AFTER YOUR SISTER!!!"

  Evelyne immediately summons a purple sword in her left hand, and she thrusts the purple sword to stab Rena in her left leg.

  *!!*

  All of a sudden, there's a big talon made of golden flame that catches the purple sword and stops it in its tracks. Runelt suddenly and immediately appeared behind Evelyne again, already transforming his left hand into a burning golden phoenix talon.

  *!!!*

  *BAAAMM*

  Runelt punches Evelyne right at the center of her chest, and she vomits a lot of blood on contact.

  "OOORRRGGHHH!!"

  She was sent flying towards the audience's seats again and landed on the floor below.

  "OHOK! OHOK!! HOEEEKK!!"

  Evelyne vomits blood again, but this time there is a lot more blood than before. She has lost so much more blood in such a short time compared to Rena.

  *pant pant*

  "(Urgh! I feel dizzy. . .and weak. . .I'm. . .passing out. . .)"

  And then Evelyne opens her mouth wide.

  "(Hm?)" wonders Runelt.

  There is orange lightning that sparks out of her mouth. The orange lightning zaps the pool of blood on the floor nearby. All of the blood on the floor magically floats in midair, and they all flew towards Evelyne's mouth. Evelyne has successfully restored a lot of her lost blood through an unknown and unconventional method.

  "(What was that? I've seen her different colored lightning. It seems like each color has its own properties. The blue one has magnetism, so I can only assume it's normal electricity. And then there's the red, yellow, and orange.)"

  "(Hm? Then what was that purple sword and purple wall that she erected? Alright, I don't get her Faith power, but at least it's an Elemental type. What a complicated Faith power. Thankfully, her output is awful, at least when compared to a Judge.)"

  "IM BACK BABY!!! HAHAHHAHA!!"

  ". . . ."

  "MISTER JUDGE!!! LET'S TURN UP THE HEAT, SHALL WE?"

  Evelyne puts up her right hand above her head, making an L sign with her fingers. And then a massive blue thunderbolt came and struck her from above.

  *ZAP*

  *ZRRRTTT*

  "OVERDRIVE: BLUE!!"

  *?!*

  From Evelyne's entire body, blue lightning sparks violently. And then the sparks slowly died down, and then blue electric currents flowed from her back, forming the shape of tree branches that act as a pair of wings. Her wings are proportionate to Evelyne's bodily proportions. It spans a total of 2 meters in length from one end to the other. There are also blue electric currents flowing from the top of her head on two sides, with the same tree branch shape that acts as a pair of antlers, those of a deer.

  "Now, LET'S GO WILD, MISTER JUDGE!!"

  *ZZZRRRKKKKSSSS*

  *ZAP ZAP ZAP*

  Evelyne hypes herself up, and her entire body sparks blue lightning, and the blue lightning also strikes in all directions randomly.

  *!*

  Runelt moves towards Rena's front, and he grows his pair of golden fiery wings from her back. He covers himself with his pair of wings to protect both him and Rena from the violent blue lightning strikes.

  *BOOM BOOM BOOM*

  Every time Runelt's wing got struck by lightning, it caused a small explosion on contact, but his phoenix's capability can easily withstand such small and harmless explosions.

  *BOOM BOOM BOOM*

  . . . .

  After a few seconds, the small explosions stop. Runelt opens his wings to see what Evelyne's next move is.

  He sees Evelyne pointing her fist upwards. He doesn't understand what's happening or what Evelyne is planning. Her fist is also engulfed in her blue lightning that sparks violently.

  "HOPE YOU SURVIVE THIS, JUDGE-SAN!! THOR'S HAMMER!!"

  Evelyne swings her fist down, and all of a sudden, a gigantic blue thunderbolt comes down, crashing and strikes and swallows the entire building. Runelt panicked, but not because he felt like he was in any danger, but because Rena was. He quickly covers both himself and Rena again in his wings, but this time, a lot tighter.

  *ZAAAAAAAP*

  *ZZZZZZZZZZRRRRSSSSSSSSTTTT*

  *BOOOOOOMMMMM*

  *GRAAAAAAHHHHKKKK*

  The gigantic thunderbolt zaps everything that it touches.

  . . . . . . .

  After a few seconds, the electricity dissipates little by little. Runelt slowly opens his wings.

  The first thing he noticed was that about 90% of the entire music venue was gone, and the rest of the building was fried and turned black and crisp; it felt like it would crumble if the wind breezes with a little bit more force than it currently is.

  Runelt also realizes that almost the entire stage is gone, leaving only a bit of the portion where he and Rena stand, left untouched.

  "(. . .Forget what I said about her output. She's simply holding back her trump card. Now I have to deal with her seriously and swiftly as well before she fires off another massive thunderbolt.)"

  *!*

  "(Wait, where is she?)"

  Runelt looks around and doesn't see Evelyne anywhere in what's left of the music venue.

  "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!"

  *!*

  Runelt looked up and saw Evelyne flying really high in the sky.

  "THIS IS IT!! WITH THIS MUCH POWER I CAN DEFEAT THAT GUY!! HAHAHAHA!!"

  Evelyne raises her fist once more.

  "THIS TIME I'LL ALSO KILL A LOT OF PEOPLE IN THE CITY AS WELL!! I'LL DEMONSTRATE MYSELF AND PROVE MYSELF WORTHY OF BEING A MEMBER OF THE SEVEN DEADLY SINS!!"

  The skies above were covered by a thick layer of thunderclouds that blocked the view of the moon and the stars. Thunder can be seen roaring from inside the thunderclouds, and its roar can be heard throughout the city.

  *GROOOOO*

  *ZRRAAARRR ZRAAARRR**

  Runelt flies to a nearby building and lands on the rooftop. There is a bench on the rooftop, and he places Rena's body on the bench. He rips a bit of his own clothes and uses them to act as DIY bandages to stop the bleeding from her stomach and her left shoulder. Then he crouches down and whispers to her.

  "Rena, this time, Onii-chan will win for you! I'll do it quickly as well because you're in dire need of help before I lose you, too. Stay here, my dear sister."

  Runelt stands up and turns around towards where Evelyne is in the sky. His eyes lit up in dim purple and saw just how much Pride Evelyne is exerting at the moment. He also noticed the roaring thunder in the dark clouds up above the sky. The amount of electricity charging up in the thunderclouds above can easily strike and fry almost the entirety of the city in just one strike, judging from the visual in the sky alone.

  He grows his pair of golden, fiery wings on his back. His face turns serious, and he flies above towards Evelyne very fast.

  As he flies towards Evelyne, he clenches his fist, and his entire right forearm burns and transforms into that of a phoenix. Runelt punches forward and sends his phoenix flying very fast towards Evelyne.

  *FWOOOMMM*

  *BWOOOSSHH*

  Evelyne noticed the incoming phoenix. She raises her left hand forward. She smiles and snaps her fingers. And then a blue thunderbolt came down and struck the phoenix right on its body.

  *BOOOOOOOOOOOOOM*

  The direct contact of the phoenix's fiery body and the blue thunderbolt results in a giant explosion in the sky. The explosion was big, but the sound it made was a lot louder than its size. It also creates a large smoke screen in the sky.

  "(Tch! Is this really his aim? Did he genuinely think this petty trick works on me? THAT'S AN INSULT TO ME ALRIGHT!!)"

  Evelyne gathers lightning on the thunderclouds above to launch another devastating strike on the city. The blue lightning sparks on her right fist spark even more violently than previously.

  "HERE'S ANOTHER ONE!!! THOOOOR'S HAMMEEEEERRR!!!"

  Evelyne swings her hand down, and a gigantic thunderbolt with a diameter of 20 meters strikes down through the entire smokescreen and cuts through it.

  *!!!*

  Runelt, who's hiding inside the smokescreen, easily dodges the massive thunderbolt, but when he looks down, he notices the lightning bolt strikes and destroys another building in its entirety in the city.

  Evelyne raises her right hand once more, and the thunder on the dark clouds above roars once more.

  "THIS TIME I'LL AIM TOWARDS THE BUILDING WHERE YOUR SISTER IS!!"

  Hearing this, Runelt moves immediately behind Evelyne. He transforms his right leg into a flaming golden talon and kicks Evelyne on her back.

  *BAAAMMMM*

  "URGKH!!"

  Evelyne was sent flying for a few seconds before she eventually recovered in midair.

  "TCH! WHAT THE FUCK ARE THOSE TRANSFORMATIONS? THEY HURT MORE THAN THEY BURN!!"

  *!!*

  But then Runelt already appears diagonally above Evelyne, and he is upside down. Runelt transforms his right leg once again into his phoenix's golden, fiery talon and swings his kick down towards Evelyne's head.

  Evelyne reacts and puts up both of her arms into a cross to block the kick.

  "URGH!! HEAVY!!"

  Evelyne was sent flying downwards towards the city below, but she also pointed her finger upwards towards Runelt as she was falling.

  *!*

  *ZAAPP*

  *ZZRRRRTTT*

  A big thunderbolt came down and struck Runelt, but he reacted fast and blocked the big thunderbolt with his left wing.

  *BOOM*

  The lightning bolt causes an explosion on contact with Runelt's fiery wing. Soon after, Runelt immediately flies down to chase after Evelyne.

  Evelyne has already recovered herself, but she disappeared from Runelt's view.

  "(. . . .Where did she go?)"

  "PENTA THOR'S HAMMER!!"

  In the distance, Runelt heard Evelyne shouting the name of her attack. And then all of a sudden, the sky went bright and five gigantic thunderbolts struck five different buildings in their entirety at five different random locations in the city.

  *ZAAAPPP*

  *ZZRRRTTT ZZRRRTTT ZZRRRTTT ZZRRRTTT ZZRRRTTT*

  "HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! I CAN STILL ACHIEVE MY GOAL LIKE THIS!! I ALMOST FORGOT ABOUT IT BECAUSE OF THAT STINKING BRAT!! THAT'S RIGHT!! I'LL SPREAD MY NAME AND INFLUENCE FIRST AND FOREMOST INTO THE WORLD!!"

  Runelt can clearly hear Evelyne, but he has no idea where she is. He looked down below to search for her, but he could not find her. He decided to use his Pride vision to look for her. But then, all of a sudden, she reappeared directly above Runelt.

  "HAHAHAHAHA!! I’M NOT AFRAID OF YOU!!"

  Evelyne puts her fists together and swings them down towards Runelt. Runelt reacts to her attack and dodges out of the way. He also noticed that the electric wings on her back have a different color now. It was yellow instead of blue.

  "This is OVERDRIVE: YELLOW!! Let me show you something interesting, JUDGE-SAN!!!"

  Evelyne moves towards Runelt, but she moves in such a bizarre way. She is zig-zagging through the air in a very quick manner that she leaves afterimages behind. And then she was already behind Runelt, and it only took her one entire second to move from her spot to where she is now.

  *!!*

  Runelt immediately turns around to face Evelyne.
