Lenia’s terrific magic power, that seems to extend to the end of the blue sky, surprised not only the audience but also the teachers and even Christina-san and Nell.

Only Serina didn’t seem to be all that surprised at this, probably because she had a long relationship with me, was connected by her familiar contract, and while only vaguely, also felt my original power.

Lenia’s magical power was so dense that even those not proficient in magic vision could see it, which began to crush the ground at her feet in Lenia into sand.

「Dran-san, I’m coming.」

「Give it your all.」

「I’m not foolish enough to hold back against you. I’m going to use the full extent of the powers that I currently have! 」

As soon as she finished those words, her fighting spirit exploded. Lenia, who has been reborn as a human being, is good at psychokinesis, using her mind for destruction.

That was still the same. However, what Lenia is using currently is on a scale incomparable with the past.

The magical power and will that overflows from Lenia’s whole body changes into a form that imitates the body of her previous life. A four-winged dragon-like magical beast with armor-like skin.

In the past, Lenia had channeled her will into the shape of a giant beast’s arm, but it seems that her thought magic has reached a further stage.

Raising a soul-shaking roar the thought beast easily broke the sound barrier and approached me, and as Lenia shook her thin arm, two psychokinetic waves rushed towards me in an irregular trajectory as an invisible snake was charging at me.

Thought magic, needing no chants or contracts, is extremely simple, but in turn it’s heavily dependent on the strength and purity of the user’s mental image.

Created as the strongest and worst sacred beast in history for the sole purpose of destroying me, Lenia is one of the beings with the purest will for destruction, even if compared to gods.

That being the case, thought magic can be considered the most ideal weapon for Lenia, who has been trapped in the human body.

Facing a psychic wave of scale that probably even Christina-san could not handle, I respond with a swing of Dragon Claw Sword.

Dragon Claw Sword that shines like a white burning flame comes down swung from overhead, and the psychic beasts and psychic waves that were approaching me are slashed together, shattered into pieces and disappear into the atmosphere.

Turning the blade upwards I swing it from the earth to the sky. Tracing the trajectory of the sword, a shockwave of my magical power and swing’s force hits Lenia.

As the shockwave was running through the arena, carving a deep fissure through the ground, Lenia clapped her hands in front of her, launching a wave of psychokinesis, and matching the timing, stopped the shockwave.

Lenia, having crushed the incoming shockwave by applying the psychokinetic force from two sides, beamed with a smile.

Although she adores me as her father, it’s still an unchangeable fact that she was created with the sole purpose of destroying me.

Is the meaning of its existence rooted in the soul of Lenia is exalted about this situation where it can fight me?

While the people in the audience had their breath taken away by the wicked and unrivaled smile of a pretty girl, Lenia doesn’t care about the reaction of the surroundings.

「Ahahahaha is fun! It’s so fun, Doran-san! 」

Good for you.

「Haaaaaaaa !! 」

Along with Lenia’s roar, a psychic beast that was dense enough to be clearly visible again appeared, spreading its four wings and flying with its fangs exposed to me.

The psychic beast constructed with the idea of ​​pure destruction decomposes the substances it touches into elementary particles, and has reached a level where physical defense bears little significance.

Hmm, but if disintegration stops at elementary particles, it means that the interference only reaches the physical stage. Spiritual interference has not reached that level yet.

Lenia still has a long way to go. It’s good to focus on unleashing her soul, but if she doesn’t learn to hone your strength even in the sealed state, she’ll get stuck eventually.

I was about to cut down another Thought Beast that was coming at me gouging the ground at the speed that allowed it to break through the sound barrier, but this time, the Thought Beast opened its jaws and unleashed a destructive shockwave from there akin to a dragon breath.

As the telekinetic wave, the power of which could easily level 100 houses, approached me, I couldn’t help but want to give her praise for such a clever trick.

「Your actions get more and more dragon-like.」

I opened the five fingers of my left hand and slammed the palm vigorously toward the breath of destruction.

Telekinesis for telekinesis. Accepting the challenge in Lenia specialty, Thought Magic, I nullify the breath, the telekinetic beasts and countless hands stretching to me from four directions.
Next, omitting the chant I activated Energy Rain, and more than 100 arrows of pure magic appeared in the air centering on me.

Seeing that, Lenia, creates ten destructive thoughts compressed into a sphere about the size of a hand around herself.
Between me and Lenia, the energy rain I created collided with Lenia’s destructive sphere, and along with the deafening explosion, the remnants of the crushed energy rain and the thought of destruction countered each other, scattering in all directions.

「RAAAAH!」

Stomping her foot on the ground with a cry unbefitting for a lady, the thought of destruction permeated the ground from there, and in the blink of an eye, the entire ground of the large stadium crumbled into sand, smashed.
Aiming for the moment when my legs were caught in the sand that moments ago was the hard floor of the arena, Lenia moved.

Pulling back her right fist as hard as she can, her first then flies at me like an arrow shoot from a bow, and Lenia’s fist-shaped telekinetic shockwave is shot towards me.
However, the Fist of Thought, which changed color every moment, was about fifty times the size of Lenia’s actual fist.

Lenia continues this movement in succession, firing dozens or even hundreds of thought fists at me.
Influencing the ground that has become a sand I harden it again, build a firm foothold and jump back from that place, make the next foothold, the next foothold, and continue to avoid the telekinetic firsts.
As I focused on dodging for a while, Lenia, who decided that there will be no end to it at this rate, took the next step. Well, how many cards do you have in your hand, Lenia?

「In so…!」

Fumu? Lenia continued to throw out her fists, but the Fist of Thought, which I should have avoided, changed its trajectory and began to pursue me.
I see, so she thought that if the opponent is dodging, then just make the attack pursue him until it hits. 《Telekinetic Homing Magic Missile》is what it would be called, I guess.
Since there is no marker on my body or spirit that it could follow, it must be tracking my mana, heat, soul’s wavelength, or smell.
If so, let’s make a decoy, and have it hit that.

「My shadow, my darkness, me and you are two sides of the same coin, Come Forth, Phantom Persona.」

With the completion of the spell, a clone emerges from my body with a figure that is exactly the same as mine emerges and runs towards the auto-tracking telekinesis fist that is chasing me.

The telekinesis fist that pursued me rushed towards the clone, just as I planned, and continued chasing the clone that dodged, interweaving defense and evasion.

Using the few moments of time I gained by using the clone as a bait, I struck a counterattack against Lenia, who was in the motion of raising her fist.

「Black in the north, blue in the east, red in the south, white in the west. The harmony of the four colors in all directions and the all-encompassing order directing the universe, The principle of the whole creation I demolish through my will, Heavens come crumbling, crush into the Earth, Collapsing World.」

With the completion of the magic I used, pillars of light corresponding to each of the cardinal directions towered high in the sky, centered on Lenia, and extended their lines of light to form a single gigantic pillar of light. .

As the gigantic pillar of light was completed, the boundaries of the four colors of black, blue, red, and white that divided the pillar into four parts began to distort and mix like stirring paint.

With this magic, the inside of the pillar of light is likened to a small world, and by intentionally destroying that harmony, the existence inside the pillar is involved in the collapse of the world, killing and wounding it, and it is said to destroy the world itself in a pseudo manner. It’s a high-level magic that’s bordering a forbidden incantation.

Even if it’s a fake one, it means getting caught up in the collapse of the world, the defensive magic that could prevent it is currently limited to a fraction of spirit magic that borrowed the power of great spirits, and high-tier holy magic.

It’s a magic that’s effective even against demons and retainers of evil gods of a certain rank, but can Lenia take it without relying on the judgment ring?

The magic that I used was way too powerful, causing panic and shouting to emerge among the audience, meanwhile The pillar of light that confined Lenia suddenly swelled up.

「Fumu, as expected of the one bearing a fragment of my soul. Rather than coming up with an ingenious plan, you chose to break out through brute force, huh.」

I couldn’t help but smile bitterly, thinking that she became similar in places that she didn’t have to.

In the midst of the collapsing small world, Lenia destroyed the collapsing world itself with her pure will of destruction.

Lenia stood in the center of the pillar of light while countless fragments of the gray-stained small world scattered and fell onto the grand arena. Her hair is a little disheveled and part of her uniform is torn, but there are no scratches on her white porcelain skin.

Cracking her neck with a motion that didn’t suit her appearance, Lenia laughed happily. Considering Lenia’s previous life, such as a pseudo-world collapse would be nothing more than an insignificant attack not worth attention.

Lightly blowing away the remaining pillars of light from the collapsed world, Lenia slowly approaches me.

「I’ve warmed up nicely.」

「Seems so. Shall we start with the actual thing soon?」

「Yes.」

Lenia, who has a delighted smile on her face, and I clash once again as new magical power erupts from her whole body.
