Editing Hagure Yuusha no Aesthetica:Volume 5 Chapter 2 (section)

===Part 4===
 
"Wow......the Vice president is really amazing."
 
Chikage Izumi was in charge of guarding the north path. When she saw how the battle was progressing in central path she couldn't help but leak a voice of admiration for her.
 
Launching a long range spell at the magicians hiding in the back normally would be very troublesome. However, Haruka took advantage of the soil with the sandstorm to lure the magicians to front completely exposing them to the threat of fire. Then she used a powerful storm to blow them away from behind. Still before the attack even started she made air cushion along the rocky wall. This way the enemy that was flung aside at most would just be knocked out and in now way endangering their lives.
 
"...... However this is no time to praise her."
 
Chikage turned back to the front. Making use of her AD she summoned a longbow and shot countless water arrows at the tens of thousands of Disdiya's soldiers coming towards her.
 
"Arrows alone apparently isn't enough ... ..."
 
Chikage focused her consciousness, a huge magic formation appeared in front of her. The dry valley moments ago was engulfed in a flood of muddy water sweeping away the numerous soldiers.
 
"Rest assured you won't drown. The flood created by my magic was designed so as long the water was in contact with the skin it will allow for oxygen to enter your body without the need for your lungs."
 
And the flood itself also cushions the soldiers from crashing into the rock wall preventing any serious damage.
 
...... But then again.
 
Considering the magic's power and the results, Izumi Chikage can't help but think: regardless if it was Haruka or herself their magical power had significantly increased. For a while after they came to Alayzard everyone had lost their ability to use magic. It was because the dimensional shift caused their consciousness channel between the body and soul to become unstable, not allowing for a smooth to link to construct magic.              
 
Izumi Chikage was reminded of when she was first summoned to another world and how it took a while for her magic to awaken. Perhaps this situation was the same as last time, and her soul and body were in a precarious state. But perhaps because of the second visit to a different world Chikage and Haruka's magical abilities have recovered and now was a lot stronger than it was before.
 
And it was not just in terms of brute force, but also things like flexibility and configuration. That was why her flood was able to have "oxygen infiltration" and "protective cushion" attributes added.
 
......If I had this power earlier.
 
Back in JPN Babel, when the cockatrice training program went berserk or when Phil Barnett I would not have ended up blindly thrashed. Also when I was first summoned to the alternate world Banrakua, I could have been able to do more. Even if it wasn't something outrageous like defeating a Demon King and redeeming the entire world like Akatsuki.
 
However Izumi Chikage doesn't care how she had gained her new power.
 
Since she met Akatsuki and Miu she wanted to get stronger.
 
So that she was no longer be a burden to the others. Enough power to fight alongside Akatsuki. Enough power to protect Miu and Kuzuha her best friends. Now Chikage could raise her head high, because she was standing together with them facing the enemy.
 
"...... It makes me happy."[[File:HYnA vol 05 011.jpg|thumbnail]]
 
She had a dazzling quiet smile as she once again faced forward.
 
After the flood waters receded, the bottom of the canyon was clearly visible. And on the valley floor were standing several huge rock walls -- from behind those barriers countless Disdiya's soldiers jumped out.
 
The armed soldiers thrust out at Chikage at full speed.
 
But, they only ran a few steps before they all clasped over forward.
 
"Wh-what's happening......?"
 
Seeing their sudden loss of balance and puzzled looks, Chikage smiled as she explained their inner doubts,
 
"My bad -- I slightly increased the density of oxygen, that's all."
 
If you inhale concentrated oxygen it will cause severe dizziness, headache, or vomiting. Not only will you be unable to walk, it will also be difficult to concentrate in order to use magic.
 
-- In the fight against Zahhaku, she removed the hydrogen from the water causing the density of the oxygen in the area to raise allowing it to immediately detonate.  
 
This attack used the same principle.
 
After she extracted the oxygen she condensed it increasing the concentration around the target.
 
But it was not as simple as replacing the hydrogen with oxygen. If you assume the hydrogen extraction was the "point", then whole area was the "space", and the difficultly in control was incomparably larger. Moreover, if the oxygen density was too low it will not be effective, and if it was too high it will cause permanent damage to the body.
 
Only through the complete mastering of her own power was it possible to realize this higher dimensional magic.
 
Suppressing her ego, Chikage said with a smile,
 
"-- Well, I think you will get used to after a while."
 
The smile on her face suddenly turned into a wry smile,
 
"However, I'm sorry to say...... I can't give you that time to adapt."
 
As she finished, a large amount of water once again emerge out of thin air mercilessly flushed away Disdiya's soldiers in the torrent.
