Editing City Series:Volume6a Chapter7 (section)

===Part 6===

Hazel saw Berger jump down from the vertically-rising craft’s back with the giant sword in hand.

His black coat did not flutter in the wind because he had buttoned it up on the front.

His body was positioned horizontally, his limbs were spread, and he dropped straight down.

The Sylphide accelerated in response. It only used its right front Kunst Eye. By pouring all its power into that one emitter, the glowing sword grew to more than 50 yards long.

With its own giant sword at the ready, the Sylphide tilted its nose just a bit diagonally.

That trajectory allowed it to flee at a moment’s notice. And if it managed to avoid Berger’s attack and strike back, it could immediately bring down the enemy craft above it.

Hazel gulped.

She watched Berger dropping down.

The Sylphide prepared to strike back. It only had the one sword on the right, so if it failed to properly predict the path of Berger’s sword, it would be destroyed.

Hazel’s vision focused in on Berger. And…

“?”

She noticed something odd.

Berger was aiming his giant sword directly at her.

It was 80-yards long, but when the tip was directed straight at her, she could only see the width of the blade.

He suddenly pulled Gelegenheit’s hilt back under his arm and then threw it into the air behind him. Gelegenheit soared back behind him without tilting at all.

“What?”

He tore open his coat’s buttons to spread out his black coat.

The flapping coat blocked her view of Gelegenheit.

Hazel realized the point of this.

…''He hid Gelegenheit!?

The coat prevented her from seeing where the 80-yard sword was.

It had to be falling straight toward her behind him.

The Sylphide must have assumed the same because it shook the tip of its own sword side to side.

Would Berger’s sword be coming in on the right or the left? Once it dropped in on one side or the other, he was sure to grab it and swing it down.

The Sylphide used its Erklärung to increase its reaction speed.

<Where is the Wind going?>

But Berger held his left hand out to the side as he fell. That increased his air resistance and his speed noticeably dropped. He likely intended to grab Gelegenheit as it dropped in from behind him.

He looked straight at Hazel.

And he shouted something with a smile on his face.

She could not hear what it was. All she heard was the snapping of his fingers with that outstretched left hand. Although even that was only her mind filling in the silence with the sound she knew had to be there.

But it was enough.

A moment later, she saw the answer to it all.

She saw Gelegenheit’s large blade catching up to him from behind.

The giant tip formed from darkness came into view.

But it was not on the left or the right.

It came straight down the center.

The giant tip tore through near the center of Berger’s black coat. It was so close it could have easily stabbed through Berger himself.

“!?”

He had twisted his body out of the way, but his left arm was still severed at the shoulder by Gelegenheit’s darkness.

But Gelegenheit continued to drop regardless.

<Destiny falls directly upon you.>

Berger wrapped his remaining right arm around Berger’s hilt to hold it in place.

And he stabbed it straight down.

The Sylphide attempted to evade the unexpected movement.

<The Wind defies destiny.>

“Shut up,” mouthed Berger.

<The flow of Destiny is faster even than the wind!!>

With Berger’s Erklärung, the 80-yard dark blade crashed into the Sylphide.

In no time at all, Hazel’s vision was attacked right down the center.

She felt no pain, but she did scream.
