We finally found Gyrus in the wasteland area and now we can battle him. I don't know if we're strong enough to win against him or not, but Big Sister Wave trained us before. Her training is a bit brute since we haven't slept for a whole night. I think it's worth trying after that hard work. I don't want to lose after all of this.
Gyrus speaks in a cold tone like usual, "I see… So it's you again. What do you want?"
Lunette answers him with a smile on her face, "Of course, we want to beat you." Though, she is just trying to keep her confident as much as she can.
He takes a step towards us, and so we are. The tension is very heavy, all of us didn't let our guards down as if there is any slight chance we will get ourselves killed. No one looks away even for a second as if our life is at risk. Lunette's smirk falters now and she is just staring at him and inspecting him if he makes any movement. My gaze is also focused on him as we stare at each other. It feels like we are the hunters but also the prey at the same time.
Lunette speaks at him again like taunting him, "What? No chatting first? I think we should introduce ourselves first."
Gyrus finally speaks up again with the same emotionless, cold tone, "Gyrus."
I speak as well with a wary tone, "Luna."
Lunette sighs and speaks up again, "Lunette, the one who will beat you."
The pressure is so hard and the air is so thick as if it will break my lungs. I can hardly relax or control my breath. My hands start sweating as well as my face. I can feel my heart beating so fast and very hard, I can even hear my own heart and it's so noisy right now. I just stretch my fingers by opening it and closing it nervously.
I moved my leg a bit to prepare myself, but right after I moved it Gyrus quickly dashed towards us. I was surprised by his sudden action and quickly jumped back to make some distance. This time, Gyrus pulls out his great sword and strikes the ground with his full power, then BOOM! Gladly, we managed to dodge it right before it hit us, but a giant hole appeared. He's so scary! I don't know how much life I need to defeat him alone, but I must try!
His strike almost landed in my face. If I wasn't quick enough, probably my head already splitted into two. Lunette quickly wields her sword and tries to attack him. Her quick response almost gets him since his sword is big and heavy. However, Gyrus uses his sword to defend himself. He hides behind his sword that landed on the ground without pulling it. His movements are efficient, almost no useless movement.
I quickly supported Lunette to try to stab him, but I failed again. He dodged it by twirling his body while pulling off his sword. He gives me no time to compose myself and quickly strikes me again. Thanks to Lunette, she was able to change his attack's direction using her sword. I quickly made some distance to stay away from him. His stance doesn't give me any chance to attack him.
Gyrus speaks again with his cold tone, but this time almost heard like a mock, "Are you done already? After two against one?"
Lunette grits her teeth and speaks back with an annoyed tone, "Shut up! It's still warming up!"
I whispers to Lunette that seems like she was taunted by him, "Lunette, I think we shoul-"
She doesn't listen to me and dashes towards him with full speed. Gyrus smirks a bit, but his demeanor is still cold as ever. Lunette dwells her sword right in front of him to attack him.
"Etheria Style Sword Technique: Star Cross," she says while holding her sword.
She slashes him by making a star shape cut at him. But she was stopped by Gyrus in the middle of her action. Gyrus uses the weight of his sword to make her sword stuck in the ground, and his plan is going well. I quickly jumped from Lunette's back and tried to attack him.
"Etheria Style Sword Technique: StarFall," I said while holding my sword over my head.
I tried to cut him into two, though I know I only just need to cut the badge. I used all of my body weight to increase my power from above. But, Gyrus seems like he predicted it and used his magic to create a barrier to block my attack on her head. Lunette, who doesn't want to lose, uses another technique again at him.
"Etheria Style Martial Art Technique: Asteroid Crush," Lunette says while closing her distance against him.
Lunette locks his arm and twirls her body to kick his stomach using her knee very hard, but Gyrus' barrier just automatically appears to block it again. It's not fair! His magic is too handy, almost like we can't do anything about it! It's not like we're weak, it's only about his magic that is cheating! It can appear anytime and anywhere around him?
Gyrus swings his sword to blow up the ground to blind us. Swoosh! The sand quickly flies and fills the air to cover our visions. I can't help but jump back pretty far so the sand won't reach me, and Lunette does the same thing with me. Really? We are together while he's alone. Only if we can win easily against him.
I spoke to Lunette with a slightly upset tone, "Come on, Lunette, can't you just listen to me for once?"
She spoke back to me with a defending tone, "Shut up, Luna! Let me do this and you have to support me!"
I couldn't help but get upset at her and shouted at her, "Why do you think we can't win against him even though we are together?! Why are you so annoying?!"
She was surprised a bit at me since I raised my voice, but she also shouted at me again, "Shut up, Luna! Do you think I'm weaker than him?!"
We continued our banter in the middle of a fight, and Gyrus doesn't look like he cares at all. She's such a pain whenever she gets too excited. Why are we so different as twins? Gyrus dashes towards us and strikes his sword from above us, not giving us any time to bicker even for a second. It landed on the ground and his attack was very heavy. There is a hole created on the ground by his attack, we can tell how strong he is. Though, he didn't stop only with that, he continued to swing his heavy sword at us without showing any mercy. He looks like a devil right now, so evil.
Lunette speaks up at him with an upset tone, "Hey! Can't you see us having a talk right now?!"
I spoke to her again, "Can we just stop our banter and just work together?!"
We jump aside as we continue to dodge him. Gyrus uses his magic to create a barrier around me and restricts my movements. He looks like a bull right now, attacking us with a heavy attack and if he misses, he launches another attack at us until he successfully lands an attack at us. I use my magic to create a wall made of ice to defend me from his attack. But his attack is too strong so he crushes the wall. It's a miracle that it stopped right in front of my face. I think I'm right to create more ice to stop his attack. I quickly jumped back to Lunette's side.
Gyrus speaks up again to us, "Are you always running away like this whenever you fight? You look like a rabbit. Running away won't defeat your enemy." His tone sounded like a mock.
I speak to Lunette again, trying to convince her, "Lunette, please, listen to me. I don't think we can defeat him, even if we are together. If we can't do it for sure together, how can we defeat him alone?"
She refuses to listen to me and says, "I won't admit if there's anyone stronger than us except Big Sister Wave!"
Ugh… Why doesn't she listen to me for once? I can't help but really get more annoyed by her attitude now. I know she is looking up at big sister, but we need to work together to defeat him. Why can't she understand that we need to work together?
I can't help but shout at her with an upset tone, "I reached my limit!! Just admit that he's way stronger than you, dumbass!! If you can defeat him alone, we won't have any trouble like this, you understand?!"
She seemed surprised as I shouted at her. I know, it's not the first time, but it's not like I'm always doing this. She's such a pain, why is she so stubborn? Maybe if she's as strong as Big Sister Wave she won't get in any trouble, but she's not. We continue to dodge Gyrus' attacks as we have a banter. His attacks are getting heavier and heavier than before, it seems like he's a person that uses power at anything.
I let out a small "tsk" through my lips and said to her, "Enough of this, just step back and leave this to me." I quickly ran towards Gyrus to attack him.
She is surprised by me and shouts at me, "Wait! What do you mean by that!"
I wield my sword to attack Gyrus, though there is no attack that is able to reach him. I jumped and tried to attack him from above, but his barrier kept blocking my attack. His barrier is too annoying, always blocking the attacks from my direction. His barrier is small, but too strong to break.
I shouted at Lunette with an annoyed tone while trying to attack Gyrus, "You're just bothering me, you deadweight!"
Gyrus deflects my attack and makes me a bit shocked. He's trying to swing his sword against my body, preparing his sword from his waist then almost strikes me on my chest. My eyes widened as his attack almost hit me, it feels like the world has stopped for a while. Before it hits me, Lunette uses her magic to throw a barrage of fireballs against him to blind him for a while with the smoke. I quickly take a huge step back, just enough to stay away from him for a while.
Lunette sighs and speaks again to me with a surrender tone, "Fine, maybe you're right. He's much stronger than I think."
I speak again with a relieved tone, "Good. You're such a pain when you're so stubborn, you know?"
She speaks at me again with a smirk on her face as she tries to mock me again, "You too, you know? Such a stubborn little sister."
I speak to her with a small blush appearing on my face, "Hey! We're at the same age!"
Seems like I can finally convince her, but I don't know how to defeat him yet. We continue attacking him and vice versa. I just support Lunette from behind using my magic. Gyrus' shadow appears from the smoke and he clears it by swinging his sword then dashes towards us again like a bull. I create some ice shurikens and throw it towards him while Lunette tries to attack him with her blue flame covered sword. Gyrus continues to parry all of our attacks, he uses his feet as a support then twirls his body before swinging his sword against Lunette then breaking her defense.
Lunette blocks his attack with her sword, but his power is too strong. She bounced back pretty far even though she didn't get any heavy damage. I quickly support her by attacking Gyrus again with my ice shurikens, but his barrier is always blocking my attacks from all directions. He just continues running at Lunette like nothing happened. That magic is so unfair! His barrier appears from all directions, even his blind spot. His barrier is small, but thick almost like an iron shield. It doesn't look like the barrier that protected all of him before.
