Chapter 230 - Magia Erebea 3

Kotarou and Negi, are currently in quite a critical condition. The two of them had been battling clones of Evangeline for several hundred hours, but they had never managed to land a single hit, because the Evangeline clones were truly far more formidable than the real Evangeline. The difference in ability between the two of them and Evangeline was too great like heaven and earth, to the point that Kotarou and Negi no longer knew what to do to gain victory.

"Ahahahahaha you brats, really are like cockroaches," Evangeline clone said who was floating in the air while looking at Kotarou and Negi with contempt. "To be able to play with me without taking me seriously for a few hundred hours, I haven't had this fun in a long time."

Negi and Kotarou gritted their teeth, their pride slightly disturbed by the words from Evangeline's clone. But neither of them could reply to Evangeline's words at all, because they were both too tired to reply to Evangeline's words. What they wanted to do now was to quickly finish their fight against Evangeline and understand how to use Magia Erebea.

"Haah haah, do you know how long we've been here Negi?" Asked Kotarou in tattered clothes and a body covered in wounds. "I stopped counting time right after three days had passed."

"Ten days, it's been almost ten days we've been inside this forbidden scroll," Negi said with the same physical condition as Kotarou. "And I don't even know how to use Magia Erebea yet."

Anger and despair, haunt Negi and Kotarou. The two of them had been fighting Evangeline for almost ten days, but both of them were still confused about how to learn Magia Erebea.

The ice spears from Evangeline's clones hit countless numbers, and Negi and Kotarou who were almost exhausted were forced to dodge the ice spears. In the early days of their fight against Evangeline's clone, Negi and Kotarou were still able to withstand the Evangeline clone's ice spear attack by using magic or ki.

But now, because the stamina and spiritual energy that the two of them had was nearly exhausted. Even to dodge the attack the two of them could barely do it. Fortunately after battling for days against Evangeline's clones, their instinct to sense and avoid danger greatly improved. So they could both dodge Evangeline's ice spear though not completely.

"Ooi Negi, I have an idea to at least get us to escape from master Evangeline, so we have time to rest," said Kotarou. "Do you still have the stamina left to attack?"

"If it's just to do one attack maybe I can still do it using Kankaho," replied Negi. "But after that, I'll pass out and can't move, why do you want me to attack?"

"So that I have time to carry out my plan," Kotarou said with a grin. "Which I don't even know will work or not."

"Well, all we can do for now is just give it a go," Negi said as he summoned the ki in his right hand and magic in his left and then combined the two opposing energies to obtain a greater energy. "My Kankahou isn't as good as Asuna-san or Takamichi, but I hope it's enough to make the final blow."

Evangeline's clone who had been in the air, this time descended onto the ground and walked towards Kotarou and Negi. This time the Evangeline clone walked towards Kotarou and Negi to kill them both and get them out of the forbidden scroll. For Evangeline Kotarou and Negi were still weak and unfit to learn Magia Erebea. So both of them must immediately get out of their 'territory'.

When Negi sees Evangeline's clone begin to approach him and Kotarou. Negi gathers all of Kankaho's energy that he has in his right hand in his last attempt to fight Evangeline's clone, while Kotarou makes a bunshin to trick Evangeline's clone, and his real body goes elsewhere to carry out the plans he has made to succeed run away from Evangeline.

"Hoooo using Kankaho, to increase the quantity of energy you have for the final attack?" Evangeline's clone said with an evil smile on her face. "If you use that technique, with your remaining energy you can die you know, are you ready to die just to try to beat me?"

"When Kotarou and I decided to study Magia Erebea, we were both ready to sacrifice our lives," Negi said. "And I won't die even if I use a technique that I want to use to you right now."

"Heh, you said the same as Nagi and Rakan when I fought those two a dozen years ago," Clone Evangeline said while gathering magic energy in her right hand. "But sadly you're not as strong as Nagi or Rakan! So your attacks won't do me any good!"

Negi uses Raika Houken to attack Clone Evangeline, while Clone Evangeline uses hundreds of magic arrows with dark elements to attack Negi.

Of course Negi's Raika Houken lost to Clone Evangeline's dark magic arrow attack. But Negi wasn't afraid at all, because from the start he didn't have any intention of attacking Evangeline's clone. But instead distracts from Evangeline's clone, so that Kotarou can carry out his plan. And Negi can only hope that Kotarou can carry out his plan well.

Inugami Kotarou had known from the start, that it was impossible to defeat an Evangeline Clone who was many times stronger than the original Evangeline. To Kotarou, the real Evangeline was someone very frightening. But as soon as he met Evangeline's clone, he realized that Evangeline's clone was much scarier than the real thing.

Evangeline's clone, torturing her and Negi for days. Until they both almost died a few times. But Kotarou was fed up with having to fight against the Evangeline Clones all the time, and besides, he was running out of energy too. So he thought of a way to escape together with Negi, so that at least the two of them could have some time to rest.

Kotarou was currently taking out the smoke bombs that Kaede had given him in large quantities. He had completely forgotten that he had brought the smoke bomb with him, until he recalled the moment he was nearly killed by Evangeline's clone's ice spear. To be honest, Kotarou himself didn't know if the smoke bombs could trick Evangeline or not, but he thought it wouldn't hurt to try.

Luckily Negi was able to distract Evangeline clone, so he had time to take out the smoke bomb from the dimensional bag Shirou had made for him.

Kotarou threw the smoke bomb just as Negi's attack and Evangeline's clone clashed. And when a very thick smoke appeared, Kotarou immediately carried Negi's body which had fallen limply on the ground from exhaustion. Then he ran as fast as he could the other way with Negi, so they could both hide in a safe place while gathering strength.

"It's been two days that the two boys have been inside my forbidden scroll, that means about ten days have passed in the scroll," Evangeline said. "I don't know how much longer it will take for those two boys to master Magia Erebea, sigh it might be a mistake to allow them both to learn Magia Erebea."

"Everything has happened, and the two of them are already inside the forbidden scroll," Nagi clone said with a stern and serious look on his face. "I know you're worried about both of them, but we can do nothing but wait for the two of them to finish their training inside the forbidden scroll."

"Okay, but if in three days they don't come out either. I'll force them both out using the Rule Breaker Shirou left for me," Evangeline said. "I couldn't possibly let the two students I've taught for the past few months die in vain, while they were both trying to learn a forbidden technique that I rarely even use because it's too dangerous. That would make me feel so guilty!"
