"Flame Grenade...was it?"

As someone who had achieved Tier 6 of Fire magic in the past, understanding the nature of a measly Tier 2 spell and replicating its effects was a walk in the park for Pride.

**BOOM BOOOMM BOOMM!!

Three explosions rang out consecutively as the three balls of flames exploded, a small smile coming up to Pride's face as she inwardly admitted the usefulness of this spell.

'So, Evan knows about grenades, huh? Maybe the world he came from is just as advanced as that one world I went to...'

As she thought that to herself, her fingers tightly gripped her blade and pulled it out of the ground, she then spun around to generate momentum, delivering a diagonal slash imbued with demonic energy right in the direction of the smoke from the earlier explosion.

**CLANGG!!

The sound of metal blades clashing against each other rang out as Glavore's sword came slashing through the smoke, meeting Pride's blade immediately after.

Pride lifted her foot as a small orb of flames formed right under her raised leg, she then opened her mouth and called out calmly, simultaneously slamming the orb of flames into the ground underneath her foot.

"Fire Pillar."

A pillar of flames rose up from the ground where Glavore was standing, giving the blade wraith a flame bath, it really didn't want.

Even if it was resistant to flames, it was still just resistance in the end, not immunity.

As such, it still took damage and felt pain when hit by the flame magic.

'Next Element...'

Her energy circuits responded to her command, circulating wildly as a gust of wind manifested around her and began swirling around.

Within seconds, a small tornado was generated with her in the centre, slamming into Glavore and sending him flying without any chances of counterattacking.

"Force Wave."

From within the tornado, Pride swung her fair hand downward, launching an aura wave from each of her fingers.

The air waves phased through the tornado, travelling horizontally through the air at a high speed that not many could be privileged to see.

However, her opponent was a master-level existence, even with her 'Contempt of the Many' weakening it, it wasn't to the extent that Glavore was unable to block her attacks.

The blade wraith flipped its body mid-air and landed on the ground, stabbing its sword into the ground to prevent itself from sliding backwards.

With fluid movements, it pulled out the crossbow on its waist and activated its firebolt skill, rapidly launching five bolts of flames towards the incoming air waves.

There was a dull extinguishing sound as the firebolts and Air waves cancelled each other out, however, Glavore didn't stop and continued rapid firing the firebolts towards the tornado in the distance.

Sadly, instead of dispersing the tornado spell, the flames were instead absorbed by the tornado, giving the swirling winds a red hue.

"Have your flames back..."

Pride rose her hands and flicked her fingers, making the tall vertical tornado fall horizontally

"...with a little extra, of course."

The spinning cluster of wind and flames became a large drill that spun fiercely towards Glavore, forcing the blade wraith to roll out of the way to avoid getting hit.

In the process of doing this, it was in no position to launch any attacks, something Pride took advantage of as she dashed towards the blade wraith with her sword in hand.

Perhaps sensing something, the blade wraith hurriedly got to its feet and twisted its body while enveloping its blade in aura, raising it to block Pride's overhead slash just in time.

**SWISH! CLANGG!!

And then begin the exchange of rapid attacks, with the two sword masters forsaking magic and focusing solely on using their skills with the blade, enhanced with their ferocious auras.

Pride's black devilish aura filled her sword as she hacked and slashed away at the blade wraith who wielded its red-hot flame aura sword and blocked every one of her strikes, even managing to throw in a counter attack occasionally.

The demon smiled maniacally as she increased the intensity of her attacks, forcing the blade wraith to up its game if it wanted to survive her onslaught.

Pride twisted her wrist as she let Glavore's sword slide off her blade, raising her arm immediately after to deliver a downward slash in its direction.

In response, Glavore parried her blade and forced it to the ground, causing vanitas to get lodged in the floor as it dropped to the ground and delivered a sweeping kick to her legs, all in one fluid set of motions.

Pride's eyes gleamed as she jumped up to avoid the sweeping kick, locking gazes with the red eyes of the blade wraith as the two of them reached a tacit understanding.

The close-range battle was over, for now.

The blade wraith grabbed its crossbow and pointed it at Pride, however, before it could even fire a single bolt, the high demon stepped on it and used it as a foothold to jump backwards, not forgetting to leave a few flame grenades in the process.

As it would have been unwise to tank such attacks even with its high flame resistance, Glavore decided to retreat, something that proved to be a wise decision as those flame grenades were very obviously not normal.

After all, if they were, then the flames wouldn't have been black!

**BOOMM!!!!

The three orbs of fire exploded simultaneously, releasing shockwaves that knocked the retreating Blade wraith off its feet, however, its fingers still moved, firing as many bolts from its crossbow as it could before falling to the floor.

Pride, on the other hand, landed on the ground and waved her free hand, sending out multiple force waves towards the incoming firebolts.

'It seems this one is not well versed in magic. That's expected, there's no one in here to teach it magic after all.'

As she thought that, she manipulated her magic, manifesting multiple miniature vortexes of wind and elongating them to create needle-shaped spears.

"Piercing Needle."

The moment she called out the name of the spell, the spears shot out at a high speed, moving in the direction of the flame sword master that swung its sword in a circular motion with its right hand, cutting through hall the piercing needles except the middle one.

"What's it doing?"

Pride couldn't help but voice her confusion, however, Glavore suddenly coated its hand in pure magic power and grabbed the piercing needle.

With the full power of its 'C-' agility stat, it spun around so fast it seemed like a blur and threw the piercing needle back to Pride with all its strength.

**SWOOSH!

The needle shot through the air at unimaginable speeds, giving the high demon the shock of her life as she was just barely able to tilt her head out of its trajectory.

Even so, the needle still scratched the side of her face, leaving a trail of blood across her cheek.

**BAMMM!!!

The needle went on to hit the wall a few metres behind her, drilling a deep hole in the wall that was sturdy enough to withstand a sword master's full power and creating a large spider web crack across it that spread to the ceiling.

In a daze, Pride lifted her hand to touch her cheek, moving it in front of her eyes as she gazed at the red blood that was undisputedly hers.

'How dare this training dummy...?!'

Demonic energy began bubbling inside her and a dark aura started to leak out of her body. Her brows furrowed in displeasure as her gaze on the blade wraith turned cold.

She was about to take action when she suddenly sensed an incoming presence from behind her, her body beginning to move out of the way when she heard the familiar voice of her contractor.

"AH! Pride, duck!"

As for Glavore, the poor monster wasn't so lucky as it had never expected Elecrus' body to suddenly fly in his direction.

**BAMM!

Elecrus crashed into Glavore, and the two of them were slammed into the wall behind them, creating a large spider web-like crack on it due to the force of their wall slam.

"Sorry about that."

Pride heard Evan's apology as he walked up to her while wiping off the blood on the corner of his mouth with one hand with the other entering a small black hole that was about half a metre long in diameter.

He took out a magic potion and downed it instantly, taking a deep breath immediately after while keeping his gaze on the two blade wraiths who were struggling back to their feet.

Pride on the other hand was trying to calm herself down, realizing that if Evan hadn't thrown Elecrus in her direction, she would be beating the fuck out of Glavore for daring to injure her face.

'Tsk...if I didn't want to use it as a training dummy, I'd have killed it already.'

She clicked her tongue internally and rubbed her cheek, confirming that she had already healed from the scratch as she turned to Evan who posed a question to her.

"Can I lean on your shoulder for a bit? Chaining multiple attacks really took a lot out of me."
