I flew across the violet forest atop one of my giant weapons, my Thaumanthus swayed, and the wind howling past my ears as the violet-tinged horizon stretched endlessly before us.
Ruriki clung to another floating sword beside me, her machete strapped to her back, while Anatuya rode a third weapon with the casual ease of someone who had done far stranger things in her life.
The weapons moved in perfect synchronization under my control, cutting through the air with barely a sound despite their massive size.
"Master," Ruriki called out over the wind, her grey eyes wide with what I could only describe as genuine amazement. "I did not expect you to be such a skilled spellcaster!"
I glanced at her briefly before returning my attention to our trajectory.
It was true that I had gone to considerable lengths to make this approach as stealthy as possible, but hearing it stated so plainly still caught me off guard.
Heh, I guess I'm that amazing.
『 You're drunk on essence again. 』
