Editing City Series:Volume6a Chapter7 (section)

===Part 3===

The atmospheric barrier created by the Sylphide crashed into the König Pseudo-Drach’s Luftram.

The König Pseudo-Drach seemed to pass through a tunnel torn through the shockwave led by a curtain of white water vapor.

Berger ran forward along its back within the wind.

Only after placing his hand on the edge of the cockpit did he realize his left sleeve had been torn and shredded by the shockwave. Fresh blood quickly flowed down his arm to his fist.

He ignored his own bleeding.

He clicked his tongue, reached his bloody hand out toward the Sylphide, and clenched his fist.

“Schweitzer! Move out ahead of it! You should be able to pull that off using your Eingeweide arm’s Ober Beweisen!!”

“So it starts there, does it!?”

Schweitzer stood up in the wind, tearing his four-point belt apart in the process.

He readied his Eingeweide arm Der Held.

“Der Held – Erklärung – Ober Beweisen.”

Then he recited the words of the Text used to activate Der Held’s Ober Beweisen.

<Stars spread across the light-scattered sky

Excellence is determined in the sky above

:Do not compare your height to others

:All power is lost before them

:The heights are for the soaring dragon

:The depths are the foundation of the earth>

The rhythm broke through the wind and raced out in every direction.

Over the span of an instant, smoke and an empty cartridge burst from his prosthetic arm’s ejector before the staff stabbed out at empty space.

With a sound more pleasant than a roar, light surrounded a cube of space about 200 yards in each direction in front of him.

The ether floating in that area of space instantly vanished. The sound of the Tons bursting on their own was similar to a cry of joy. Even the wind instantly lost its shape as the movement of all ether came to a stop.

Berger smiled with only his lips.

“You stop all ether movement within a space for just an instant. Does that mean everyone must put down their weapon before Der Held?”

He watched as Schweitzer calmly sat back down in the cockpit. Once his large back was gone, Berger could again see the Sylphide in the sky.

Its Kunst Eyes were not functioning and its speed had dropped. But it was not gliding. The engine had been briefly stopped, but it had started back up immediately afterwards.

However, that was not enough.

The König Pseudo-Drach did not overlook that brief loss of power, so it worked to overtake the Sylphide.

The Sylphide shifted its path to avoid being overtaken. It moved directly in the way of the other craft’s path.

But by then, Berger was already standing atop the König Pseudo-Drach.

He held Gelegenheit in his right hand.

With 5 Type C Phlogiston Tanks attached, the darkness extended about 20 yards into the winter air.

The Sylphide had its back turned, so it chose to attack as its inferior speed allowed the enemy to approach. Swords of light emerged from its 5 Kunst Eyes.

Berger noted the swords were longer than before.

“Oh? Are you actually trying this time!?” he shouted while opening up his black coat with his left hand.

The pale light of the Sylphide’s Schwerts illuminated the inside of that coat.

There were several dozen bags tied to the inside of the coat and each one had a Phlogiston Tank attached.

He pulled Type C Phlogiston Tanks from them and rapidly attached them to Gelegenheit like a fast reload. He ended up with a total of 20.

The sword-like hilt was now so long the weapon looked more like a spear.

He grabbed the center of the shaft with both hands and swung it around. The dark sword extended more than 80 yards from the end and was still growing. Even the blade’s width was more than 2 yards.

It was an enormous sword.

“Have a taste of Gelegenheit!” he yelled while holding the shaft below one arm.

A moment later, the König Pseudo-Drach overtook the Sylphide.

As they passed by, the sky was decorated by spraying light and a sound like shattering glass.

The blue craft and black craft passed each other by in the dark sky.

Five small swords of light and one large sword of darkness moved at the center of that exchange of colors.

<The five swords of resistance are instantly severed by Destiny.>

With its swords broken, the Sylphide used its full power to hop to the side and flee from the large sword’s path.
