Roselle clutched her repaired cannon. A rush of memories flooded her mind. She vividly remembered the day it had been destroyed by Rawna's devastating power. The sense of loss was a wound that had taken time to heal. Now, here in the arena, with her trusty companion restored to its former glory, she felt a surge of confidence.

  She whispered to herself, "You've always been by my side, my faithful companion. More than just a weapon, you're a part of me." With resolve, Roselle charged her cannon with lightning and said, "Let's do this, Cannon."

  Roselle unleashed a barrage of powerful lightning shots. They were launched out slowly, but packed with immense power.

  Risebelle, on the other side of the arena, focused her water energy into her cannon, gathering the blue essence of her magic. With a rapid and fluid motion, she fired off her own shots, quick and precise. The crowd watched in astonishment as the sisters defied the conventional laws for robots.

  The announcer's eyes widened with astonishment when she spoke into the microphone. "Well, howdy! They're firing off elements like it's a full-on magical showdown! This is a sight to behold, folks!"

  Roselle’s lightning shots came at Risebelle, but she deftly avoided each one. Her own rounds streaked toward Roselle, forcing her to weave around them.

  Risebelle observed Roselle's movements. A plan formed in her mind, and she switched tactics, loading explosive rounds into her cannon. With careful aim, she fired at Roselle's feet, sending bursts of water and energy erupting around her sister.

  Roselle jumped back to avoid the explosions. In the chaos. Risebelle took the opportunity to slip out of view. Roselle momentarily lost sight of her sister, scanning the arena for any sign of her.

  Risebelle found her position by using the terrain to her advantage. Her cannon locked onto Roselle and she whispered to herself, "I've got you now, Roselle." With a steady hand, she fired, and the shot whizzed through the air, striking Roselle's arm from behind with pinpoint accuracy.

  Roselle stumbled forward with the impact jarring her. She grimaced in pain

  Lifeforce: 132%

  She turned toward the direction of the shot, but Risebelle was already on the move. She darted around the arena, attacking and retreating.

  Roselle thought, ‘I can't let her keep control of the battle. Think, Roselle. What would a sniper do?’

  She analyzed Risebelle's patterns and tactics. Risebelle had adopted a hit-and-run strategy, striking quickly before vanishing into cover. In order to accomplish this, Risebelle was staying at a distance, always just out of reach.

  "I just need to see her for an instant," Roselle muttered under her breath. She began charging up lightning around her, creating a glowing sphere of crackling energy ‘I might have to take a hit for this,’she said to herself/

  Roselle closed her eyes, focusing intently on the sound of Risebelle's cannon. The arena was alive with the roar of the crowd, but Roselle blocked it out, listening for that one crucial sound.

  The shot rang out. She felt the impact strike her again, but this time, she was ready for it. She turned quickly, eyes snapping open as she caught a fleeting glimpse of Risebelle, who was already preparing to disappear again. "There!" she shouted.

  Roselle unleashed the full power of her charged sphere. The yellow lightning coursed around her. Her speed increased tenfold and she became a blur of movement on the way to her sister. In her rush, she dropped her cannon, focusing entirely on her pursuit. Risebelle was fast, but Roselle was faster now. She closed the gap rapidly, aiming to tackle Risebelle to the ground before her sister could escape again. Risebelle was quick, twisting just enough to avoid being taken down completely. Instead, Roselle managed to catch her in a grapple, her arms wrapping around her sister in a tight hold.

  Risebelle struggled against Roselle’s grip and growled, "I knew I should have used the silencer."

  Roselle smirked, tightening her hold. "If you had used that, your shots would have been more unpredictable," she said despite the exertion. "But it’s too late for that now."

  Risebelle gritted her teeth, managing to free one arm from Roselle’s grip. She raised it, channeling her water energy into a swirling vortex around her. The water lashed at Roselle, droplets stinging her skin, but she held on tight, refusing to let go.

  “Damn it!” Risebelle shouted. With a powerful combination of water magic and sheer physical force, she managed to toss Roselle off, sending her flying through the air.

  Roselle twisted mid-air, quickly assessing her trajectory. She realized she was heading right for her massive cannon, and a plan formed in her mind. She tapped into her lightning magic, pushing her power to 175% for just an instant. Her lightning turned a fiery red, the surge of energy allowing her to adjust her path to hit it square on.

  She collided with her cannon. The impact knocked the breath from her lungs. Pain shot through her, and she spat out in reflex, but she didn’t let that stop her from doing a deft flip to land on her feet and fire a shot at Risebelle.

  Risebelle reacted quickly, trying to move, but then she noticed crackling yellow lightning encircling her feet, rooting her to the spot. Her eyes widened.

  “Looks like you’re stuck, sis,” Roselle said with a grin.

  This tale has been unlawfully obtained from Royal Road. If you discover it on Amazon, kindly report it.

  Roselle steadied herself, aiming her massive cannon squarely at Risebelle. She pulled the trigger, and the arena erupted with the thunderous crackle of lightning. The shot hit Risebelle dead center, and a brilliant explosion of electric energy engulfed the arena.

  When the smoke began to clear, the crowd leaned in, eager to see the outcome. Risebelle was down on one knee. Her blue battle dress was marked with scorch marks and her hair was slightly singed. She shook her head. A wry smile appeared on her lips.

  "Damn, that was a nice move," she muttered. Her sister had come a long way from the days when she barely knew how to use her weapon, let alone wield one with such skill and precision.

  With a newfound respect in her eyes, Risebelle rose to her feet, brushing off the dust. "Alright, Roselle…it looks like I need to start taking you seriously now….Aqua Whirlwind!”

  The moment she called out the move, the arena was filled with a burst of energy. Risebelle summoned a powerful whirlwind of water and magic that swirled around her, creating a maelstrom of chaos.

  Roselle found herself trapped within the vortex. She drew upon her yellow lightning and channeled its energy to create a protective barrier around herself. Roselle also attempted to conduct her yellow lightning within the water and turn Risebelle's attack into a potential counter-attack at the same time. The combination of water and electricity created a dynamic interaction as the whirlwind surged around her.

  Risebelle saw the flickering arcs of lightning snaking through her Aqua Whirlwind. She quickly realized what Roselle was trying to do and said, "Not this time!"

  Drawing upon her mastery of water magic, Risebelle summoned more strength, intensifying the whirlwind. The water spun faster and faster like a tempest threatening to break through Roselle’s defenses.

  The relentless force of the tempest surged around her, overwhelming the barrier's capacity to conduct the lightning effectively. The barrier flickered and weakened under the onslaught, unable to hold up against the sheer volume of water.

  A wave of moisture and force battered Roselle. The lightning within the water dissipated, and Roselle staggered slightly.

  Risebelle quickly raised one arm and said, "Acid Rain!" She summoned a malevolent rain cloud in the sky. It began to release a corrosive rain that cascaded down upon the arena. The audience gasped at the sight of the deadly shower.

  However, it seemed to intentionally avoid Roselle and Risebelle, leaving them untouched. Juliana, sitting in the audience, commented, "It looks like a very potent rain shower."

  Kintovar raised one hand to under her chin. "Actually, this rain is designed not to affect Roselle, Risebelle, or Runebelle. It's a rather puzzling choice for Risebelle to use it."

  In the stands, Runebelle watched the unfolding battle with sadness. Her hands were held together.

  Roselle charged up her cannon with crackling yellow lightning and said, "Risebelle, you know that isn't going to affect me."

  Risebelle remained silent. She swiftly put one hand to the ground and bent down, locking her gaze onto Roselle. With a burst of enhanced strength, she thrust her hand forward, revealing the acid rain-coated water that coated her entire arm. In a single motion, she knocked the massive cannon right out of Roselle's grasp.

  In the stands, Kintovar watched the turn of events with surprise. ‘Aha! So that's it,’ she thought to herself. ‘Risebelle used the acid rain to augment her strength and disarm Roselle. It's a clever move.’

  Haras look on with surprise from next to Kintovar. “Risebelle is using the acid rain not as an offensive ability but to empower her physical strength.”

  Risebelle closed in with incredible speed, dropping her Cannon. Roselle was already caught off guard, but she quickly brought up her arms to defend herself.

  Risebelle aimed at Roselle's abdomen. Roselle managed to block it with her forearms, but the force behind the blow sent her stumbling backward. Roselle retaliated with a counterstrike, attempting a roundhouse kick. However, Risebelle, who had already shifted her position, expertly dodged the attack and followed up with a swift, spinning heel kick. Her foot connected with Roselle's side, causing her to wince in pain.

  Roselle regrouped and attempted a quick jab, but Risebelle gracefully ducked under it and responded with a series of rapid-fire punches and kicks. Despite Roselle's efforts to block and counter, Risebelle's relentless assault kept her on the defensive.

  Roselle timed her blocks to see an opening within her pattern of attacks and quickly countered her strike one strike with a powerful knee strike to Risebelle's abdomen. The impact made Risebelle stagger back. Roselle then unleashed a series of well-aimed punches and kicks, connecting with Risebelle's defenses. Risebelle struggled to maintain her composure.

  Roselle landed another solid punch to Risebelle's midsection, and this time, Risebelle couldn't avoid the blow. She winced in pain and took a step back.

  The crowd, initially rooting for Risebelle, started to shift their support toward Roselle.

  Risebelle decided to step back, creating some distance between herself and Roselle. Roselle pursued Risebelle; however, Risebelle managed to narrowly evade Roselle's advances.

  Risebelle, while evading Roselle’s incoming strikes said, "I taught you well, didn't I, sis? You're not just a one-trick pony with that cannon of yours anymore."

  Roselle responded with a smirk. "You did, Rise. But I learned a few of these tricks on my own."

  Roselle prepared to charge forward once more but when she did, she stepped onto a seemingly harmless puddle on the ground. It was a Water Puddle imbued with water magic.

  The moment Roselle's foot touched the puddle, it transformed into a slippery and adhesive substance, causing her to lose her balance. Roselle slipped down. The crowd erupted in laughter right after.

  Roselle tried to regain her footing. She chuckled. "Nice one, Risebelle. You got me really good."

  Risebelle took advantage of the opportunity to reposition herself. “Always keep your guard up, sis," she advised with a smirk.

  Risebelle, standing a few meters away from Roselle, took a deep breath and announced, "Okay, Roselle. You’ve done well, but I doubt you’ll be able to keep up with this power."

  Risebelle began to emanate a radiant bluish energy. Her entire body glowed with an aura and caused a vibrational energy to radiate through the areana. Roselle’s eyes wide. She said to herself, ‘She’s transforming…’

  The Grand Arena responded to this surge of power, and a low, vibrating sound filled the air. The very ground beneath them seemed to shake, and even Stronberg, who was maintaining the magical barrier, cast a slight glance of concern at the unusual occurrence.

  Roselle, initially stunned by Risebelle's transformation, soon collected herself. She took a deep breath and closed her eyes for a moment. When she exhaled, her own body began to radiate with energy. It started as a bright yellow glow, then shifted to reddish lightning, and finally settled into a deep shade of purple. Risebelle could hardly believe her eyes.

  She muttered to herself in disbelief, "Impossible... This means we can both...?"

  The crowd was abuzz with confusion. The announcer turned to the audience and asked, “Ladies and gentlemen, what in tarnation is going on here? It looks like we're witnessing something downright extraordinary! What could this mean for the showdown between Roselle and Risebelle? Hold onto your seats, 'cause this battle just took a turn for the wild!"

  Juliana leaned over to Kintovar in the stands. "What's happening, Kintovar? Could this be…”

  Kintovar's eyes sparkled with excitement. She replied, "I didn't expect them to use their transformations without my help so soon. This is a pleasant surprise. My how they have grown in such a short time…"

  Haras said enthusiatically, “This is fantastic!"

  The audience continued to murmur and wonder at the abilities displayed by the sisters.
