Atlas: Lightning From The Wild West
29: TWO TWIN SISTERS OF INDRA

TWO INDRA TWINS

The Northern Region's military was extremely weak, even its strongest warrior could be knocked down with a single strike from Indra, without magic and using only weapons that he had never used before.

"You also look good with a sword" Cheryl said.

"Oh yeah? Why that?" Ask Indra.

"Let's know, you just look cool when you use it" Cheryl replied.

"It's free, if I can't even use it. Fortunately now I have a little understanding of the basics" said Indra.

"Fight! You tau? Warriors who are already great even able to combine magic and swords, keep practicing until you can like that" Cheryl replied.

"Your mascudine?" Ask Indra.

"That means your sword could have been combined with your magic, plus your lightning magic would have been terrible if you had been able to do that. Yeah, it might be hard. However, spirit! I slept first huh, good night" Cheryl replied as she yawned and walked away to her room.

The next day, the sun rose in the snowy region. Indra also woke up and immediately prepared to carry out his duties. No one knows when the Wyverns will invade. 

Indra went to the tower in Avalance castle, unlike before this time the ceiling was brighter, before the curse of Avalance made the sky never this bright before.

However, with his magic Indra made the ceiling back dark. However, not because of the Avalance curse, but black clouds that were ready to drop the lightning.

Indra then pointed his sword up and struck it with lightning. Lightning can indeed be channeled from iron, it makes the lightning as if stored in Indra's sword. However, it was only temporary and even that made his sword feel strong and difficult to swing.

"Damn, once again" said Indra.

He did the same thing over and over again. However, he realized it could not help much. It then thought to hold the lightning by force even though the vibration would get stronger again.

Indra tried it and as a result the sword lit up purple, the blue Indra lightning and the red of the sword merged into purple.

However, Indra was unable to withstand his vibration, let alone swing it.

"Damn it, it's not as easy as I imagined" Indra said.

"Yes, Cheryl also did not say those who mastered it were able to do it easily" continued Indra.

Indra then tried various ways to do it. Like holding the sword with two hands, even trying various other positions while holding the sword.

He then thought of an idea that he should have been able to think of from the start, he only needed to weaken his lightning to be much weaker than usual. Although it would reduce its attack power, it was still better than not being able to use it at all.

Then, he went out of the castle to look for objects to try his new technique. He found a large stone about the size of a large building. Indra was unsure. However, it never hurts to try.

Indra then struck his sword with lightning from the sky, then he slashed the stone horizontally . To his surprise, the stone split in two. The attack was stronger than he thought, if only he could use it with his strongest lightning might he already be able to split a city, if only he could use it, let alone the strongest of normal lightning might be enough to slash through the forest.

It was as if lightning had shot out from Indra's sword as he tried to slash the stone.

Indra finally planned to return to physical training in the future, so that he could withstand the vibrations of the sword as it struck him with stronger lightning.

Indra spent his time adapting to his new technique until the afternoon. At that time, he was already feeling tired and he intended to return to Avalance castle.

Arriving at Indra's castle gate, he saw an explosion from the castle grounds. He tried to come to him and it turned out that in the castle yard there was already Cheryl who was exhausted from fighting. Billions of conditions, the people Cheryl faced numbered more than one. Indra then approached Cheryl who was exhausted.

"What's up, Cheryl?" Ask Indra.

"DANGERS!! I didn't expect them to be that strong" Cheryl ignored Indra's question.

Indra could already guess who these two people were.

"Surge!! We only have business with the woman" Ignael said.

Iglea looked at Indra carefully, inexplicably reminding her of their father Ignis.

"You're wrong people. The person Ken meant was me" Indra replied.

"How do you know Ken?" Ask Ignael.

"Of course it's because I'm the one who caught him" Indra replied.

"It seems. Ken didn't tell me much about me" Indra continued.

"Who are you really?" Ask Ignael again.

"I? Oh yea! I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Indra. However, if you want a name you might know. You can call me Lightning From The Wild West. Well..it is too long, Indra is enough" replied Indra.

"That's not what I'm talking about, what I mean is why Ken has the right to tell you anything about you?" Ignael confirmed his question in annoyance.

"Oh. I am the eldest son of Ignis, right. I know, I know it's hard to believe" Indra replied.

"AH!! JUST DESERVE!!" Iglea.

"Ignael, don't you see this guy look like you do?" Ask Iglea.

"If you look at it again, it might be true. But maybe it is just similar. There is still a possibility that he is a fraud" replied Ignael.

Indra then grabbed something from his pants pocket, he took the medal he got from the rubble of his village yesterday when he visited the Western Region.

"Don't this explain enough?" Indra asked while showing the medal.

Ignael approached to observe the medal more closely.

"IT'S.. IT'S REAL!!" Ignael said in surprise.

"I didn't think I had another sister" Iglea replied.

"Wait, Iglea. He's the same guy who caught Ken. Even though he's our family. However, he was on the enemy's side" Ignael said.

"I get. However, you are the one who chose the wrong stronghold" Indra replied.

"Impossible! Avalance is the father's eternal enemy. Dad says Avalance is an enemy of his ideology, and you're on his side" Ignael said.

"I know and I think Ignis' ideology is absurd and will only trouble his own people" Indra replied.

"YOU KNOW WHAT?!" Ignael looks upset and goes forward to deliver a blow to Indra.

Indra parried it with her palm. However, Ignael's fist suddenly became burnt. Indra backed off and stood by. However, it had not intended to use its magic.

"Alright, I'll serve you. However, take it easy. I will soften myself with you, I must not be rude with my own sister" said Indra mocking. 

Indra was quite confident, he also understood that his two twin sisters might be as strong as he was, and based on the words of Ken Ignael and Iglea was much stronger than Ken himself. However, Indra did not take it seriously because the thing that made Ken superior to Indra was just speed and agility.
