As expected, Erica's allies appeared out of nowhere, twenty scholarly witches and thirty official witches, surrounding Fein and attacking him from all sides. But Fein was ready for this, and he had already set up a counter-ambush. With a wave of his hand, he activated his space manipulation ability and teleported behind Erica's allies, catching them off guard and taking them out one by one.
With Erica's allies defeated, Fein turned his attention to the woman herself. Erica was now standing, holding her sword tightly as she stared at Fein with a mix of anger and fear.
"I should have known you would be too clever for my trap," Erica spat, her eyes burning with fury. "But this time, I won't hold back. I'll use all of my powers to defeat you once and for all."
Fein didn't respond, only narrowing his eyes as he unsheathed his sword. This was it, the final battle. Fein summoned all of his courage and unleashed his sword domain, a powerful technique that surrounded him with a rain of glowing blue swords.
Erica charged forward, her own sword clashing against Fein's as they engaged in a fierce sword fight. But Fein was stronger and more skilled, and soon he began to gain the upper hand.
Fein's eyes gleamed with an intense blue light as he unleashed his ultimate technique. His sword glowed with a blinding aura as he raised it toward the sky, and suddenly, countless swords began to rain down from the heavens. The swords were made of pure energy and glowed a bright blue color as they descended toward Erica. She tried to dodge, but the sheer number of swords was overwhelming. They seemed to follow her every movement, darting and swerving as she tried to evade them. As the swords closed in, Erica could feel the intense energy pulsing from each of them. The air around her crackled with electricity as the blades pierced through her defenses and sliced into her body. She gritted her teeth and tried to fight back, but it was no use. The swords were too powerful, too numerous. They continued to rain down on her, piercing her skin and shredding her clothes. Erica screamed in agony as she fell to the ground, completely overwhelmed by Fein's sword domain. Fein watched as Erica writhed in pain. Erica turned into a sieve, her body filled with bloody holes.
Tears started to come out from Fein's eyes, as he realized, He had finally avenged his captain and gave justice to his death!
'Captain Gregory, this is for you.' Fein wiped his tears and smiled in the sky.
Fein could feel a sense of relief wash over him as he realized that he had finally avenged his captain, Gregory. It was a bittersweet moment for him, as he knew that no amount of revenge could ever bring back his beloved teacher. As he stood there, lost in his thoughts, he felt a hand on his shoulder. It was Sofia, his girlfriend, and Ally. "You did it, Fein," she said, a smile on her face. "You finally gave Gregory the justice he deserved." Fein nodded, a small smile appearing on his face as well. He felt a sense of peace within him, knowing that he had fulfilled his captain's wish. He looked around and saw Voli, his buddy and best friend, standing beside Aoi with a grin on his face. Fein knew that he could count on them to be there for him, no matter what. For a moment, they stood there in silence, just taking in the moment. Fein closed his eyes and took a deep breath, feeling the weight of the past finally lift from his shoulders. He knew that he could now move on with his life, knowing that he had done right by his teacher. "Let's go back home," Aoi said, breaking the silence. "We have a lot to celebrate." Fein opened his eyes and nodded, a genuine smile spreading across his face. He knew that there was still much to do, but for now, he was content. As they walked away from the battlefield, Fein knew that he could finally rest easy, knowing that Gregory's spirit was at peace.
...
After their intense battles within the tower, Fein, Aoi, and Voli emerged victorious, and they all breathed a sigh of relief as they stepped outside into the warm sunshine. They looked at each other, all of them covered in dirt and sweat and then burst out laughing.
Fein turned to Aoi and Voli. "I don't know about you two, but I could use a hot meal and a cold drink."
"I couldn't agree more," Voli replied. "In short, we need to celebrate!"
Sofia nodded. "Yes, we have been through so much together. It's time to let loose and enjoy ourselves."
Fein smiled, feeling a sense of peace wash over him. "You're right. We should celebrate."
They walked towards the nearest town and entered a lively tavern. The four of them found a table and ordered a feast of delicious food and drinks. The tavern was filled with music, laughter, and dancing, and they joined in the festivities.
As they ate and drank, they reminisced about their journey and the battles they had faced. They talked about their victories and their losses, and they thanked each other for their unwavering support and friendship.
Fein raised his glass and chuckled. "To Aoi, and Voli, my dear friends, for standing by my side and never giving up."
Aoi and Voli clinked their glasses with Fein's. While Sofia was just watching the three with a faint smile. "To Fein, the greatest swordsman we know, and a true hero."
The three of them continued to celebrate long into the night, savoring the joy of their hard-earned victory and the comfort of their friendship.
As Fein watched his friends softly, he couldn't help but reflect on their recent adventure in the tower. 'I may have lost my captain,' he thought, 'but I gained so much more. I gained true friends in Aoi and Voli, and I discovered the depths of my own abilities. I learned that even in the darkest moments, there is always hope, as long as we keep moving forward. And most importantly, I learned that justice is not just about avenging the past, but about creating a better future for all.' With a renewed sense of purpose, Fein set his sights on the future, ready to face whatever challenges may come his way.
