Demon Sword

Opening Attack pt.2

Back in Shibuya II district, Farel and Garou were showing Arka raining down on the opponent's curtain with a punch that had been strengthened with soul energy.

"can't. There is absolutely no damage." Arka said as she took a few steps back to get closer to Farel and Garou.

"His physical strength is the same as mine, but if soul energy is put on top of the pot, its destructive power is equivalent to Ino." Research Garou inwardly.

"This curtain is very sturdy, we have to find its weak point and try to make a hole there." Farel.

"Free, we still won't be able to get in." Denying Garou.

"Why?" Ask Arka.

"Because, this curtain was made to prohibit witches from entering. In other words, a barrier. The barrier is for protection and provides protection, right?" Obviously Garou. "Theoretically, the ship's supposed to be inside."

"But, said Kura..."

"Totally so." Garou seemed to think harder than before. "By staying out of the curtain, the racer increases the risk of being seen, found, and attacked. However, in return, the curtain would become stronger. Kind of like a columbus egg... Wait, but just like that, they completely ignored the foundation of a barrier technique! We're dealing with crazy people!"

Garou snapped her fingers. "Now I understand why Arka's attack had no effect at all."

"If that's true, then the source of this curtain should be somewhere completely open and clear." Farel Sahut.

"Bingo. The pay for a stronger barrier is to be seen very clearly in the open." Garou. "And my prediction, is..."

The tallest and most striking building in the Shibuya II district: "Apartement lighthouse." Say them in unison.

"If it's this high, will they really be able to find us?" Confused Ijichi who was looking at the beautiful scenery at night from Lestallum. "This is the most conspicuous place that the curtains have, right?"

"Maybe." Answer Ah Sui. "But, even if they did manage to find our location, this building is already filled with transfigured humans. I doubt they can get to this place as soon as it-"

Garou punched Ah Sui in the face very hard. "How can you?!" His inner.

Garou's innate technique allowed him to change the position of any creature that possessed soul energy if it was within his reach with a single clap of hand. He can change the location of himself by the location of others, or switch two different parties other than himself.

Garou uses her technique to swap places with Ijichi.

Curtains can be created and imbued within the object, which then maintains the barrier until the object itself is destroyed.

The object used in this case is a nail, and Garou manages to destroy it.

The curtain of goddess cloth that ward off witches was now falling, provoking the attention of all the witches in the arena.

"My grandchild." Said a grandmother who had just sat quietly in the middle of Garou and Ah Sui. His existence was so quiet that Garou herself let her guard down.

"Since when?" His inner.

Ah Sui obeyed the old woman's orders, then walked towards Garou with a fierce look. "I understand, Grandma." Her speech.

Ah Sui uses a long knife as her weapon, she fights without technique and only acts as a shield for the grandmother.

"There's something weird. I have to end this quickly." Garou swapped places with Ah Sui, then moved towards the grandmother to give her a single blow. However, the grandmother managed to avoid it with the most nimble gesture that Garou had never anticipated from a woman with such a stature.

Ah Sui went back to Garou and stabbed her arm. "Well, I'll finish you first!" Garou exclaimed before pulling Ah Sui's arm that was piercing her to pierce their heads very tightly.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

After swapping places with Garou, Ijichi instantly received Arka's strongest attack that was none other than a black flash. The man bounced far away to hit an overpass but could get back up instantly.

"Whoah!" Arka was shocked, while Farel frowned and analyzed.

"Strong together." Take Farel.

Without saying much, they immediately ran towards Ijichi and beat him mercilessly.

"Eternality? Not likely. He's obviously hurt and I'm sure the wound didn't come from Arka's attack." Weigh Farel. "Cancellation damage? Impossible, he's not Hiro."

"All I know for sure is that the technique is still playing in the immune realm, but I don't know the fitting-"

"Master attack? Though the destroyed power of Jang Uk's attack is the lowest academy (according to the calculation of Agung)." Inner Farel. "Could possibly..."

Inverse: When the Ijichi technique is activated, the attack will become progressively weaker if it gets stronger. In turn, the attack gets stronger as it gets weaker. There are maximum and minimum limits to how much impact this technique can have. Ijichi protects himself with soul energy on top of his opposite to effectively negate all of his opponent's attacks.

"Arka." Call Farel. "Sentill him."

"Huh?"

"Trust me!" Farel turned back to face Ijichi to deduce his mindset.

"Now, Ijichi will be more careful with the existence of Jang Uk and completely ignore the existence of Arka which he thinks has greater destructive power." Thought Farel. "My role right now is to become a backup plan if my guess is wrong."

"Forward!" Farel and Arka again run towards Ijichi while Jang Uk shoots him from a distance.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

Oku is an evil old woman who always serves herself. Only ever use his talents for himself at the expense of the lives of others. He cursed others to get paid and live freely, nothing more. As far as his general behavior goes, Oku barely speaks or opens her eyes most of the time.

Like Ijichi, he is upset that his freedom to commit crimes is hindered by the presence of a witch named Kenny. Even in his old age, Oku decides to team up with other curse users to get rid of him and reclaim his prime.

Oku has no sympathy for anyone even her own family.

Necro Technique: Oku can summon body or soul information from a deceased person to use their corpse in a fight. This allows him to change himself or the participant who is willing to become the person who died. Oku carefully summoned only body information and not soul. This allows the shape changer to use the physical abilities of the seance target without reviving their personality.

As Ah Sui continued to approach Garou, Garou devious-mindedly swapped Oku's position with Ah Sui, drastically reducing the distance between them and giving Garou the chance to end the fight in one hit.

However, the woman again managed to dodge it. 0.01 seconds before the attack landed. "All is ready." Oku.

"All right, grandma." Ah Siu seemed to be devouring something. Something obviously happened.

"Shin Faiz Enka's." Call it Oku, making Garou stunned where he stood.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

After smashing Ijichi's head in one fell swoop, they gathered to discuss the next plan.

"Where's Garou?"

Farel flinched, then looked up at the building. It looks like Garou is falling unconscious. "Garou!!" Shouted the Farel.

Arka jumps far away to catch Garou. He landed on the wall, then jumped back to where he came from with a very agile movement.

"Has he been seriously injured?" Farel worried before focusing on the roof of the apartment building. "What's up there?!"

"I'll go after him!" Arka's initiative after putting Garou's body on the ground.

"Don't!" Ban Jang Uk. "Put our priorities first. The curtain is open and whoever hurt Garou must have run away."

Arka took a rough breath, then exhaled her full of anger. "I'm going to the palace." Arka. "Farel, please go after them."

"Well?!" Jang Uk was shocked by the decision that impressed him.

"Give it to me." Farel Sahut. It made Jang Uk surprised. "If they are removed, they will only complicate things. Better taken care of from now."

Jang Uk. He has to give up. "All right, I'll trust your decision. So please, don't break my trust."

Without paying attention to Jang Uk's words, Farel approached Arka to do a boxing tos. "Get me again."

Arka nodded. Seconds later, they split up.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

After Garou falls, Faiz kills Oku for regaining consciousness. There's never been a case like this before. Maybe because of a mistake in technique, or maybe because he was Shin Faiz Enka.

"It's time to go back to hunting." Monologue Faiz with a horrible smile.
