Daybreak Summoner Chapter 24 (Patreon)

Enemy

I can't believe it.

I don't want to believe it.

Rinna didn't want to admit that what she saw in front of her eyes was real.

The sister she had always longed for.

The sister she had always pursued.

And now, she is about to turn her blade against Rei and kill her.

"It's a lie...it's a mistake... Isn't that right, sister.... Tell me it is..."

I ask in a trembling voice.

Believing that she will return to the kind sister in my memory.

"Rinna, I know you have a lot to talk about, but first..."

Dinna points the tip of her Gungnir at Rei and says.

"I'll have to kill her first."

Rinna realizes.

She's serious, she's serious about Rei....

Rinna is stunned and falls to her knees.

Her concentration breaks, and the blue light surrounding Rei disappears.

"Rin-chan...! You're Rin-chan's sister! Then why are you doing this to me?

"I told you. You're going to die...there's no point in teaching you!"

Dinna swung Gungnir twice on the spot.

Two vacuum slashes approach Rei.

Now that the defensive shield boost is gone, a serious hit would surely be fatal.

First, she stares into her eyes and confirms the position of the attack.

The first blow, a semi-transparent vacuum wave, is already close at hand.

The second blow is coming a little later, diagonally to the right behind it.

She will not be able to leap in time, and his legs will be cut off.

If she dodged to the right, the second blow will cut you in two.

"Then..."

The best solution is to sidestep to the left.

Although slightly grazed, the two slashes fly behind Rei.

But this is not the end.

She quickly turns around and comes up behind Rei to cut her in two.

Rei glanced behind her, and then suddenly started to run toward Dinna.

With a slash trailing behind her, Rei approaches Dinna.

Dinna held her Gungnir in a horizontal position, and met Rei's attack.

The side slash she fires cuts through the air.

Rei was already flying high above her, twisting her body.

"Okay, here we go...!"

Two slashes loomed in front of Dinna.

Unable to respond to Rei's sudden leap, straight up.

But she doesn't move a single eyebrow.

"Did you think I was going to die such a dumb end? "

In front of Dinna's eyes, the slashes suddenly vanish.

A safety due to its characteristic of sending out a tracking slash.

The divine spear Gungnir has no chance of self-destruction.

"Not yet!"

Behind Dinna, Rei swung her sword as soon as she landed.

She missed the target, but managed to get behind her.

However, Rei's sharp slash was caught by the hilt of the divine spear.

Dinna had already turned around and was facing Rei.

"If you're this close, you can't let the attack fly...!"

Once again, the two were in a fierce clash.

Unless she closed the distance, she had no chance against Dinna.

"You think you can beat me in close combat? Don't be so conceited."

With the tip of her hilt, Dinna strikes Rei in the abdomen with a thrust.

"Argh!"

Rei staggers back slightly from the impact and is hit with a barrage of spear blows.

The speed of the attack is astonishing.

He catches them with his sword and barely avoids fatal wounds, but he is still unable to block all of them.

In the blink of an eye, Rei's wounds increase.

"Give up. You don't stand a chance."

"I'm not giving up...I'm not giving up!"

Rei's fighting spirit is unbreakable despite the scars all over her body.

She draws her sword as fast as she can, determined not to be outdone by Dinna.

GIN! Gin! Giggin!

The sound of metal clashing violently resounds.

"You're doing better than I thought you would, but... why don't you use that power?"

That power, the sword of light.

The mysterious power that resides in Rei.

Certainly, if she could use it, she would have a chance to win.

But...

"Don't tell me... it's not that you don't want to, but that you can't? "

"...!"

Rei is slightly upset because he has been hit by the bull's-eye.

That power probably comes from Rei and Rinna's strong desire to protect each other.

However, Rinna is now sitting on the ground, watching the battle with blank eyes.

With her in that state, the sword of light will not appear.

But more than anything else, what Rei cannot forgive is the "enemy" in front of her, the one who made Rinna look like that.

"...Hey, what have you been doing all this time...?"

"...? What are you talking about?"

Dinna raises her eyebrows at Rei's sudden question in the middle of an intense sword fight.

"Rin-chan, you know..., she always said that you were someone she admired and that it was a goal she would overcome someday."

"..."

Anger wells up in Rei's chest.

She was Rinna's longed-for older sister, the one she had been searching for all her life.

She had not seen her in several years.

Why did she have to make that face?

"...? What are you talking about?"

Dinna raises her eyebrows at Rei's sudden question in the middle of an intense sword fight.
