The Crisis World XX

Chap. 11: Re-Battles

A terrifying aura appeared behind me. It made me quickly look back and dodge, but it was my lack of movement that left me exposed to his attack on my arm.

This aura …. I am no stranger to this terrifying aura. The savage aura I had previously felt in the alley back then. He was a big dog that was killing three debt collectors.

"Grn ...."

"Hehe .. long time no see, sweet dog."

I looked towards the wound on my arm. Fresh blood flowed and dripped from there. This is quite bad because my right hand that I used to fight with is now already injured first.

Besides I can't sense his existence except when he wanted to attack just now, he can completely cover up his monstrous existence very well, just like a predator.

Moreover, as I looked more closely, the body of this dog was bigger than before. It was only fitting that the range of his attack would be even further. I could also see a lot of fresh and dried blood in his mouth, indicating that he had already attacked more people.

A terrifying aura, a larger body, and a stronger power. This one monster had indeed grown far from the previous one.

"Dam."

That's all I can say now. Misfortune is hitting me right now and my opponent is also getting stronger. But when I was in trouble like this, suddenly Cecilia spoke to me.

"Iraya, do you remember what I said in the rooftop against that black fog?"

"What did you say? You mean focusing your aura? I don't know if I can bear the pain now, I've been hit by the attack first."

"I didn't tell you to attack him, now try to do the opposite."

"Whereever?"

"True, imagine that my aura is not something hot and painful, but warm and comfortable."

"Warm ... and comfortable?"

I followed Cecilia's directions, trying to imagine the aura I had yesterday turned hot and piercing, this time turning warm and comfortable. Focusing while closing my eyes was finally paying off.

Zii...

My eyes opened and were shocked as I saw a green aura surrounding my wound and slowly healing it, completely feeling warm and comfortable. There were no more wounds left at this time after a while I waited, only blood that if cleaned up would all return to its original state.

"He-great …."

I can't hide my admiration for the power I have today. I'm really no longer an ordinary person. Maybe if I was old, I'd be a great doctor.

"Oi! Focus on the enemy that is in front of you now!" said Cecilia awakened me.

"I know .. Can you just let me be amazed for a minute."

"Iraya, listen to me. When fighting enemies, you can change my aura into a healing type or attack type, the defending type can also. You can change it according to what you need" he explained.

"You didn't listen to me. But all right, that information is very useful anyway."

Sryii…

I focused the green aura present in my hand into an attacking type. When it turned into an attacking type, the aura that had been comfortable and warm, turned into heat and felt piercing.

The shape also changed to be more abstract and the bright light almost covered the entire palm of my hand.

"Come on!"

Swuush…

The wolf also did not stay still, with the same speed he ran towards me quickly. When the distance between the two of us was narrowed, at the same time I aimed my fist at the jaws of the wolf. While the big dog pointed its claw towards my chest.

Sryig... Craash...

"Tch!"

"Grrkh …!"

Both attacks hit their respective targets. After the strike was hit to its target, the two of us decided to retreat and be on alert for a moment.

I focused my aura onto my chest, so slowly the wound on my chest disappeared. While the big dog seemed to not feel the effects of my punch, but I was sure that I had hit it quite hard.

"Not enough, is it?" muttered.

"You're too rash, calm yourself down" said Cecilia.

"I know! Don't tell me!"

I don't need that right now. Because all I need is to finish him off as quickly as possible. I will defeat him in one attack after this, this loud noise might be able to disturb both the neighbors and the mother inside.

Swuush…

"So here!"

This time he attacked first, his attack was simple enough that I could guess that he was going to attack me from the front. When our distance was narrow, I did a round kick using the heel. This attack is almost the same as the attack that made him escape first, you could say this is my mainstay attack.

Zwuuush…

"A-What …?!"

The attacks I relied on and believed would be subject to change instead. He was able to avoid it well and instead strike me back after.

The dog tried to bite me in the stomach and wanted to end this fight as soon as possible, but luckily my left hand was able to quickly protect it, although I could hear the sound of a bone crack there.

The dog again stopped attacking and was wary of what I was going to do next, he was like learning from my previous fight with him. He really can't be underestimated and likened to an animal like always.

I looked towards my left arm. My arm trembled and the blood did not stop from within his wound. It's pretty bad, I need a lot of time to heal this one.

Chequek…

"??!!"

But again .. as if misfortune were always by my side. Again the thing I didn't want came to the fight.

"Iraya?"

Someone opened my door from the inside. And my guess was absolutely right, my mother heard the sound of our fight and finally checked things out.

"Mother! Get inside!"

Zwuush…

"Iraya! That thing!"

And when I let my guard down, the big dog took advantage of the situation and attacked me. I realized it through the cry of Cecilia immediately looked towards him, but the movement he had was too fast and he was ready to attack me again.

"Too fast!"

I tried to resist his attack and formed the letter 'X' with both hands so as not to receive the wound on my plate. I also closed my eyes as I was sure the wound I received this time would hurt even more than it did.

Craaassh…

I opened my eyes when the dog attack did not feel too much to me, even felt nothing. I saw the existence of the dog and my eyes widened in surprise and my body that had been limp as if it immediately returned to power when I saw it.

Bugh…

Quickly, I approached my mother and hit the dog away from her. Although in the end, he did not retreat far enough and was already preparing to attack again. But I don't care, right now all I care about is my mom.

"Mother! Mama! Hang in!"

I approached her and tried to call her name so she would come to her senses. I held his wound and in my palm was a lot of my mother's blood. Tears started to come out of my eyes, but my mother then opened her eyes and spoke to me.

"I-mom .. It's okay."

Even though my mother said so, but she came back unconscious. I tried to call him many times and shake his body, but he still did not wake up either.

When I had lost my hope, suddenly the usually annoying voice now seemed to be a breath of fresh air to me.

"Calm down, Iraya! He just fainted! You have to defeat him first so you can be free to help your mother."

"…."

He's correct. As long as there's a big dog, I won't be able to help my mother. I laid my mother down slowly and then went back to face the dog.

Cecilia's voice really made my chest become even more relieved. But now that my anger at the enemy in front of me is no longer contained, he has attacked the innocent who made me angry.

"You're gonna die."

"Grn …."

It seemed like he also knew that I was really angry with him this time. The beast-killing aura was also getting stronger, but I didn't care at all. I will take his life with my own hands.

Blaaarr…

The aura that was only in my arm area, is now spreading and gathering more there and seems to be about to explode. The aura is very hot and makes the temperature around me increase.

Slowly the messy and disordered aura throughout my body was flowing into my right hand, not only did it gather around the arm until the palm of the hand, but this time it extended past it.

Zii…

With that elongated green aura, faintly which in the end became clearer came a solid form that I managed to produce from the aura of Cecilia. Shaped a sword with a glittering greenish blade. The surrounding green auras can also still be seen with the naked eye.

While Cecilia inside my body who saw that muttered to herself, speaking was small enough that I could not hear her at all.

"He ... managed to form an object with my aura?"

Cecilia then remembered that she had shown how to form objects with her aura in place. Although it required a lot of effort and energy, until Cecilia finally realized something.

"So so ... he took my aura forcibly from here, huh?"

Cecilia sensed that in this room full of aura it seemed to be sucked by something and it was the act of Iraya, who managed to forcefully remove it and form a sword from it.

"Hehe .. The thief. But the person who was angry because his favorite person was hurt ... it was terrible, huh?"

Cecilia smiled faintly. He considers Iraya a thief for taking his aura without his permission, but for now he understands her. His deep anger and hatred really made him a different person today.

Then in Cecilia's heart right now, she was hoping for something from Iraya with this ability. The hope of defeating someone Cecilia hated so much. Hope to defeat its creator.

And now I am in a state of confusion, because there is a sword created in my hand suddenly. I can feel Cecilia's aura coming out of this sword, so it's most likely her.

Though the aura that I was giving out was very much and hot, but everything instantly disappeared and turned into this sword. Although I was confused as well as amazed, but right now I do not have time for it. There are still enemies I have to face in front of me right now.

"Prepare."

"Grn …."

Swuush…

I put up the horses then darted towards him quickly—he did the same. When it was close, I who had a longer range than before managed to attack it first before its claws hit my body.

Slaaash…

"GraAakkHh !!"

The dog was still able to avoid the vital parts of his body being hit by my attack, but in the end even each of his front legs and right hind legs were lost because they were cut off by me.

I darted through the place where the wolf was at this time, so I was now behind him while looking back at him. The dog then collapsed, but he was still trying to get up.

The hope for him to live this time was already nonexistent. I won't let him live either. Even before I could end his life, he looked at me with a resigned look, but it would not change anything.

Craaassh…

I stabbed him right in the skull of the dog and in the end he died. It's finally over. The sword created from Cecilia's aura also instantly disappeared along with my body squeezing out losing power.

I then picked up my phone and called an ambulance to take my mother to the hospital. I will also go with him to take care of him.

Then at the hospital, I looked outside my mother's treatment room, which was being examined by a doctor. The doctor said that even though my mother's injuries were deep, they didn't threaten her life. Fortunately, the dog attack did not hit his vital organs.

On the one hand, I feel very relieved with the results. But on the other hand, I realized that I had to grow stronger in order to protect the people I love.

*In A Nursing Room in a Hospital*

I was sitting next to my mother who was sleeping in the treatment room to take care of her. Being too bored and having nothing to comfort me, I ended up falling asleep.

"Eh?"

And by the time I realized, I was already in a room where I could see Cecilia. And then his own people came up to me from the dark side of the room to greet me.

"Welcome back, Iraya."

"I fell asleep because there was nothing exciting there" I said.

He smiled at my answer. This awkward silence made me want to break it. This has indeed been in my mind for a long time, I who initially still hesitated to ask this, after the attack of a large dog a while ago became more determined to ask him.

"Cecilia …."

"What's wrong?"

"This question has been long since I have been silent and I would like to hear it from you myself …."

"Hn? What'sthat?"

"… So there's something I want to ask you. What are you really? Then the creatures that chased you earlier as well, why did they do that?"

Cecilia was silent for a moment and did not immediately answer my question. He saw my face and could see it for himself if my face was also serious about knowing that. He breathed because he had no other choice.

"Huh …. You finally asked me about it, huh?"

"Yes, I beg you. Tell me everything, for the good of everyone."

"I think you're right, maybe it's time to tell you the truth."

My serious conversation with Cecilia will finally begin. I will soon know exactly where this creature came from .. and how dangerous it is to me.
