The Sin of Pride in Another world

When Lina and Sophia saw the man wearing black cloak appears in front of them, they were very surprised as they didn't feel his presence at all before he appeared.

Sophia looked at him and then sighed as she said:

" I was very wrong. Lina, It's my fault that he's here. I thought that Eros name will be able to threaten him but it seems like I misunderstood him and my plan has fallen completely".

Lina: "It's not your fault sister Sophia. Although you acted on your own, I also supported you because I let brother Eros go away".

Both of them looked at each other and smiled while they shook their heads. The mysterious man then smiled and said:

" You see the little princess, your plan would've been perfect because I know myself that I can't defeat Eros because of his immense power. To be frank, I wouldn't have come here right now if it wasn't for the reinforcements I brought with me".

By now, Sophia who discovered that it was Korino the one speaking to her and she also understood that he meant. She then smiled at him and said:

" So you brought a higher Star member with you and that's why you're acting all arrogant and mighty".

Korino: " Well, I didn't expect that Eros left you and thought that he would be here but it doesn't matter. Say, by the way, What should I call you Sophia or Princess of the Martini clan and daughter of the great Hero Adrian Martini and the great mage Lan Fang".

When Sophia heard that she started trembling and couldn't hide her anxiety. Lina who felt the fear of Sophia didn't just look at her but also started comforting her and said:

" Sister, don't be intimidated by his words. he's trying to deconcentrate you so he can take you down easily".

Sophia felt what Lina meant and understood his plan. She then started forgetting about her anxiety and then looked at him with a determined look as she said:

" Hmph, Korino if Little sister Lina wasn't here, your plot would've worked but now you will die. Aquila".

Korino: " You don't understand do you, Princess Sophia. Let me show you the meaning of true power".

Aquila immediately flew towards Korino who was just there doing nothing. Aquila immediately reached him and slashed towards him with his fangs( claws).

Swoosh

What surprised was that his claws didn't touch anything at all. Korino appeared before him again and Aquila leaped to hi. again and tried to cut him but he still wasn't able to hit him.

Swoosh Swoosh Swoosh.

Finally, Aquila who became faster and faster hit Aquila with all his strength and made him even spit blood.

It was a direct hit that made Korino body cut into half and also his head and hands being torn apart. Aquila then felt suspicious because someone like Korino can't be killed simply like that.


Aquila then heard Lina talking to him from behind:

" Mister Aquila, beware he's still alive. That wasn't his real body, it's just an illusion".

When Aquila heard that he immediately put his guard again and concentrated on finding Korino but it was a little late.

" It seems like you can resist the effects of my Terror bringer spell without any magic protection. Shadow beasts are really something exceptional and fascinating".

When Aquilla was about to the direction where the voice came from, Korino came behind him and said: " Lightray".

Boom!!

Suddenly Korino fires his magic called Lightray. It was a big magus-mana blast ray that directly went in Aquila way.

Unfortunately for Aquila, because he was beside Korino when he fired the spell, the damage he took the most damage.

Aquila: " Argh". (coughing blood).

It didn't end at that, The Lightray continued its way towards both Lina and Sophia. Sophia started chanting the spell that can protect them but she was stopped by Lina who said to her:

" Sister Sophia, let me deal with this".

Sophia: "What are you saying? if I don't use the shield protection spell, we will die".

Lina: "Just trust me, please".

When Sophia looked at her eyes, she saw the determination in them. Finally, Sophia sighed and nodded to her.

Lina then smiled and just before the Lightray reached them, Lina said:

"Truth".

The Lightray passed through them like it was just a normal thing. It seemed like it didn't exist from at all.

Aquila who away saw all of this and on his face was a shocked expression. he didn't understand how the spell was able to damage him and even give him severe injuries and a losing an arm.

Yet, when It came to the little girl, just with a single word she was able to destroy all the spell power and also avoid any high damage or injury to them.

Lina didn't stop at this but also pointed her fingers towards Aquila and said:

"Truth".

Just after saying that, all of Aquila injuries disappeared like it was never there. This made Aquila more confused because he understood that what happened just before this was an illusion yet he still felt pain and this made him puzzled about Lina abilities to heal him.

Aquila then returned to their side and was prepared to protect them with his life. Korino or what was Korino illusion saw all of this and was surprised a little because of lina although he didn't show it on his face and he said to her:

"It seems I underestimated you because of your age and young looks but It seems that your power is the perfect counter for my illusion spells".

When Sophia heard that, she looked at both Lina and Korino who stared at each other. Korino then continued saying:

"How about this. You can come to the Tenebris guild and become a star student. I believe that many of the higher members stars will want to have a disciple like you".

Sophia didn't say anything and just at Lina waiting for an answer and then Lina said with a resolute face:

"I will never join your evil guild".

Sophia signed and then looked back at Korino. She smiled because of Lina decision bit remembered their situation and said with a little gloomy face:

" I already used magic analysis and I must say that our situation is quite problematic. We aren't only affected by a spell but also inside a formation that uses magus-mana and makes all of our minds trapped inside this game world".

Lina then also said:

"That also gives us the advantage because whatever happens here is an illusion and so my ability Eye of truth can work perfectly here. No matter what damage happens to you here, because I can discover the truth in this world, I can heal you with the magic ability Truth".

Aquila was shocked by what she said and then he said to Lina:

" Then Miss Lina can't you use your magic ability to free all of our friends from his Terror bringer spell so we can have a bigger chance to win".

Sophia then sighed and answered him:

"It isn't that easy. The level of terror bringer spell and also this formation power is way above Lina mage level. You don't expect her to break an emperor level spell with her Master mage level".

When Aquila heard that he felt a little depressed and said to Sophia:

"Then how are we going to break through this formation? We must also try and save the others".

Sophia was also nervous because she couldn't find a way either to break through the formation or to save her friends. Suddenly they heard Lina voice:

"I can break the spell".

Sophia and Lina: 0_0_0

" to be exact, I can break the formation spell that generates this illusion world which will automatically cancel the Terror bringer spell and our friends will be rescued".

Sophia and Aquila: 0_0_0

Lina looked at their funny face and giggled a little.

[AN: Ahhh Lina is very cute and lovely. Even in such a situation, she can smile and giggle. I am so happy to see this my hear is trembling ?????????. Wait ???? what am I saying is just a lolicon would say noooo].

Lina then said again with a serious face:

"Unfortunately, I can't do that because of the immense magus-mana needed for this job. I also need to concentrate so I can use the spell and I believe Korino won't give us the time to break his spell".

When Aquila heard that he sighed and said in his mind

(So it's impossible after all and I thought we will have a chance).

When He was about to give up, he looked at Sophia and was surprised as he saw in her face a smile that showed her confidence and also an expression that he didn't see since 10 years ago.

He smiled and said in his mind

( Her Highness finally returned. I am now sure that she has a solution to our problem).

Aquila was totally right because just after that, Sophia said:

"Well then, shall we start the real play".
