âOwooaaw!!!â
Against the round arc of Chaotic Return to Horizon Waltz, the great wolf could do nothing but howl in pain, as its blood flew, the round arc pa.s.sed through it, carrying one of its arm along with it.
âAâŚâ
Faced with such a gory scene the two girls yelped.
Hinagiku is just a normal student before meeting Wu Yan. She killed chickens and fishes before and has seen blood from sport injuries and the like but this scene is still too much for her, it canât be helped that sheâs a bit afraid of this.
Mikoto on the other hand lives in Magical Index and has the power that ranks just below top tier supers, even then however she lives a sheltered live like a flower in a greenhouse. Living on the bright side of Academy City and as a young lady studying in Tokiwadai high, she never killed a chicken before what can one expect when is confronted with something like this.
He didnât show any reaction in response to those 2, he lashed out his sword arm one more time and slashed at the half disarmed wolf.
He understands fully the two behind him might be sh.e.l.lshocked but his worry will have to wait until the battle is over. Otherwise just a minor careless mistake would lead to him being worrying to the other 2.
Landing cleanly on the wolfâs body, he gouged a big gap on its body and made blood splatters along with another howl of pain.
The blood vessels in its eye began to expand as it glared at him, with a furious roar it opened its mouth wide and jumped at his head.
The distance between the two is less than 2 meters so its mouth was able to reach him in an instant. He ducked his head and dodged its sharp teeths with a hairâs breadth.
This kind of close quarter combat is nothing to him who had a lot of close brushes with âwolvesâ like this. Their special characteristic being the more mortally wounded they are, the more violent they are!
He canât predict its attacks but he has some basic countermeasure against it so the situation is still manageable.
Dodging its headchomp once more, he squatted down. With a twist of his body, he spun in the air and stabbed his sword at the wolfâs throat.
The edge went through its skin and pierced its neck, making an exit gash at the back of its neck.
Time stood stillâŚ
âHe won!â
Hinagiku celebrated as if she beat the foe herself, forgetting about her fear of youkais and blood, jumping in joy at her current position and happily laughing.
âNot badâŚâ
At a loss of speech at his performance, itâs not on a level someone like her would be in awe but itâs pretty interesting thatâs for sure. Mikoto had only used lightning attacks, lightning attacks, lightning attacks or just a straight out , settling the enemy once and for all with her super railgun.
In this battle, itâs not on her level yet but it showed that thereâs alternative styles, in terms of techniques that Mikoto could incorporate into her iron sand attacks. Hence this battle has to her that battle can take many forms and one of them is thisâŚ
The still raw her right now might be high in terms of levels but she may not even be able to beat Fei Fei whoâs lower than her by 8 levels. Thatâs because Fei Feiâs skills are honed and forged through battles in the world of Silvaria where as her strengths come from the result of multiple scientific developments. Fei Feiâs combat prowess is not in the same cla.s.s as herâs.
From this one could see Mikoto still has lots of room for improvement. Perhaps her level wonât rise much after this affair but her overall abilities will transform!
He placed his foot against the body of the great wolf and pulled out his blade. He was under the great wolf when it died so the wolf is laid upon him. Needless to say he squirmed to his hardest not to let its blood get on him.
Offering its body up to system after he pulled out the sword, due to it not having a magic crystal there were no Ability points, he only got some Item points out of this but itâs still better than nothing.
Surprised at the disappearance of the wolfâs body, the two girls quickly dismissed their notions. With the system, a lot of weird thing happens, itâs just a body disappearing and furthermore itâs not Wu Yan who disappearedâŚ
âAre you alright?â
She nonchalantly looked at his body, the brutal scene from before she has thrown to the furthest recesses of her mind.
Mikotoâs more or less in the same state, if itâs a person she might have felt sick. To this girl, even if the opponent is unforgivable she still has the capacity for forgiveness. If not for this, why would she subconciously aim her railgun away from Acceleratorâs vital points even when the b.a.s.t.a.r.d slaughtered her sisters, is this not a show of her kindness?
However, the enemy this time is not a person (Tl: thatâs ) but a bunch of monsters, stunned at the sight of blood for the first time sure but compared to a person, the impact is not that great.
He felt that this kind of personality against a true foe would be her downfall but this is the real railgun, he wonât be unsatisfied with her like this, if itâs railgunâs foe then itâs his foe as well, if she canât handle it then I will just have to do the dirty job for her wonât I!
EâŚ. that has to wait until he gets stronger thoughâŚ
âIâm alrightâŚâ
Flourishing his Kusanagi Sword he got rid of the blood on his blade. Seeing as the two didnât have worrying expression any longer he phewed.
If he canât handle something like this then what would he do further down the road neâŚ
Just as Mikoto was about to say something, Wu Yan and her were briefly stunned before quickly blocking Hinagiku with a seirous face.
âWhatâs wrong?â
Not sure why the two suddenly took defensive formation, Hinagiku pulled at Mikotoâs shirt while anxiously asking.
Mikoto and Wu Yan gave each other a glance before bitterly laughing.
âs.h.i.t is about to hit the fanâŚâ
In just awhile, shadows of great height appeared, some flew through the air flying around overhead. In a distance, thereâs countless figures stirring in the darkness, whatâs obvious is that theyâre heading here while creating a dust storm. It seems, the enemies are many in number!
âWhatâs going on?â
Looking at the afterimages crisscrossing and weaving overhead, Hinagiku is about to go blank again. These figures look just like the great wolf from before.
Holding Kusanagi Sword he tensed up and forced a smile on his face.
âIt looks like we have gone inside a nest of monsterâŚâ
Rolling her eyes at him, she retorted at him.
âWrong, from the start weâve been trying to enter the nest.â
âCanât argue with thatâŚâ
In a daze from a her retort, he helplessly smiled.
The shades approached bringing with it a tempest, the dust storm encroaches and the land trembles, the trio had different expression observing this scene unfoldâŚ
Finally, it is hereâŚ
The dust settled and the afterimages stopped, with the enemies announcing their presence with their roars!
Hinagiku did not show any fear or despair at this. Rather, she has a grin on her face and reflected in her eyes was Wu Yanâs back.
Mikoto had lightning circling around her, with current bigger than she has exhibited before the âbiribiriâ crackled on and on, her hairs fluttered around with the electric flow, her tea colored eyes dauntlessly looked forward!
Grasping Kusanagi Sword and with a faint glow, it drew an arc in the air. Holding the sword with a single hand his expression disappeared leaving behind a composed countenance, unruffled in mind or body like water in an ancient well, still and calm!
In front of them, monsters of different shape, sizes, strength, sound are all standing there. Their eyes carried within them bloodthirst and their jaws kept opening and closing. Their disorderly roar didnât show any sign of harmony or order as it echoed in the air.
This amount, hundreds? Thousands? Tens of thousands?
They didnât have a clue because the condition at the back was blocked by the figures standing before them. This terrifying formation could reasonably have scared holes in the gut of any timid person.
âHinagiku, Mikoto, you scared?â
He asked the both of them just to confirm one last time.
Surprised by this they then laughed in sync.
Sakura petals appeared in her surrounding and condensed in her hand, slowly transforming into a crystal katana, wielding Shirosakura she gave him a bright smile, and G.o.d was that smile ever so beautiful.
âHow odd, I should be afraid but I wonder why Iâm not?â
The ground turned and tossed and black grains flew out of the rock strata, dancing in the air they flew to Mikotoâs side forming waves of black sand. Standing in the center of that waving and rippling iron sand, she smiled gallantly.
âWho do you think I am? Iâm No.3, the super railgun!â
Listening to them he just shook his head and had a helpless face, inside however, something hot surged and undulated.
Stepping back, he clicked around in the air under their curious gazes, two bottles and a few beans appeared in his palms.
Pa.s.sing the items over to the two he urged them to take it.
âTake a bottle per person and drink it!â
They looked at the bottles in a daze, it looks like some golden liquid is flowing within the potion bottles.
âWhatâs this thing?â
âThis item is called âResplendent breathâ (Tl:çç¨çĺźĺ¸, sounds like tic tacs to me), a protective item, just a bottle and one would be rendered an âinvulnerableâ (Tl: 'ć 䟤') status, so you all should drink it now!â
â3 hours of invulnerable!â
They looked at the potions in utter astonishment. Isnât this tantamount to invincibility? Hinagiku noticed something off.
âWe willd rink but what about you Yan? You not drinking?â
She canât find a bottle on him no matter how hard she scrutinized him, she panicked at this.
He canât help showing a bitter laugh.
âResplendent Breath costs 100â000 Item points per potion, I only have 260â000 Item points on me soâŚâ
âHow can that be, then what will you doâŚâ
After hearing that she got even more fl.u.s.tered, before she could protest he quickly put a stop to her.
âLetâs finish this conversation here, drink the thing, the legion is about to attack!â
Looking at the youkai army stirring, he shouted so and moved himself before the girls while holding his sword in front of him.
âYan, I think this potion should be used by you, as long as you donât die then even if I did I can still be revived!â
Even Mikoto started panicking, Wu Yanâs basically without any protection, how can she be at ease like this.
He guffawed without turning his head back, he resolutely declared.
âMikoto, logically speaking that would be the most reasonable solution, but let this be known, besides your summoner, Iâm a man as well! As a man, how can one shirk the duty to shield women from storms and torrents!â
