SailorStar9: After getting Chapter 36 out, this is Chapter 37 of this fic. (Sighs) Guys and girls, is it too hard for you to leave a review, instead of just putting this fic up on your favorited list and story alerts?

Disclaimers: I own nothing, except for the plot bunny and my OC.

Chapter 37: Mereoleona vs. Rhya the Treachery


"I can see through all those simple-minded traps." Zora declared.

"I'll cut through any spell with my anti-magic sword." Asta barked.

Their opponents, however, were taken out by Mereoleona's fire pillar.

"We seriously have nothing to do!" Asta complained, somehow popping out a clone. "Why not take a break? We can fight too, you know. Wait, another me? Is that you, Grey?"

"What the hell?" Zora muttered. "You can use magic? You can clone yourself?"

"Who gave you permission to make another one of you?" Mereoleona demanded. "So, which one's the fake?" she asked Zora. "They've even copied his lack of magic. Can you tell which one's the real one?"

"Not at all." Zora admitted.

"How useless are you." Mereoleona moved the trap magic user out of the way and tossed out a fireball, incinerating the two Astas.

"What are you trying to do?" Asta wailed, cutting through the flames. "Are you trying to kill me?"

"You really messed me up." the still burning Rhya tsked. "Copy Magic: Aqua Curtain." he extinguished the fire. "Copy Magic: Healing Ray of Light." he healed his burns. "You're one scary lady. I'm Rhya."

"Who are you?" Mereoleona demanded. "You look like you might be somewhat entertaining."

"He's the last one from the Eye of the Midnight Sun's Third Eye." Asta replied. "He's Rhya the Treachery and he's insane. He can copy other people's magic."

"Copt Magic: Dark Cloaked Black Blade." Rhya replicated Yami's spell. "Copy Magic: Dark Cloaked Avidya Slash."

Mereoleona simply just nullified the energy slash with a flaming fist. "Unfortunately for you, the original idiot who uses that spell packs more of a punch. The all-incinerating spell of total destruction," she was instantly beside Rhya. "Fire Magic: Calidus Brachium." she slammed a flaming punch across Rhya's face and sent him flying to the next room.

"Copy Magic: Healing Ray of Light." Rhya teleported to a stone block and healed himself. "She's definitely gonna be more trouble than anyone else." he admitted as Mereoleona jumped back into the fight. "But, there's no point in getting a big head over magic you stole from us, royal. Copy Magic: Light Sword of Judgment." he let loose the rain of rapid light swords.

Mereoleona simply met each light sword with a series of firing punches of her own, cancelling the attack.

"Copy Magic: Invisible Scout." he made himself invisible to dodge Mereoleona's next punch. "Copy Magic: Aqua Javelin." appearing behind Mereoleona, he charged up his next attack, only to have the female fire user turn back and vaporize the water construct before it could even form.

"You're not getting away." Mereoleona closed in on Rhya, easily dodging the water balls he fired at her and throwing a long-distance fiery punch at the Copy Magic elf.

"Copy Magic: Tainted Culvert Wyrm." Rhya summoned a water snake and sent it towards Mereoleona, who used a pair of fiery clamps to shut the construct's mouth before evaporating the serpent with a flaming punch.

"Copy Magic: Salamander's Breath." using the steam as cover, Rhya summoned a replicate 'Salamander' and Mereoleona just punched the fireball back. "Invisible..." he was about to use the 'Invisible Scout' to cloak himself after Mereoleona dispelled his lightning attack when he was hit by the fire user's rapid-fire punches. "Copy Magic: Sticky Salamander." he called forth Sally's spell, his wind tornado was also nullified by Mereoleona's fire punch, only to have said fire user take out the construct's head with a flaming fist.

"Copy Magic: Jötunn's Ice Floe." Rhya summoned a large ice block, intending to crush Mereoleona with it.

"Calidus Brachium!" Mereoleona melted the ice block with her flames, turning it into steam in an instant.

"This is such a pain in the ass." Rhya cursed, frustrated that none of his attacks were working. "Then, how about this?" he pulled out his replica 'Demon-Slayer Sword'.

Mereoleona simply met the swinging blade with a fiery fist, breaking the sword into half. "Looks like that is just a copy of its form. You couldn't copy its anti-magic. Are you done with your spells? In that case, let's end this. Mana Zone: Calidus Brachium Barrage!"


SailorStar9: Now that's done, read and review.
