The Crisis World XX

Chap. 123: The Fight Inside the Circus Tent

Strange events occur around the Black Rain trio and they get trapped inside. Initially they were outdoors now they are in a kind of circus tent with a diameter of almost 30 meters.

They were the so-called marching band. Without guns, spears, or swords. All they have now is a musical instrument. It resembles a human wooden puppet with a human face and a mouth that has bolts so they can play the trumpet.

Various types of drums, trumpets, and other musical instruments began to sound and chant songs that are familiar if in a place like this.

Entry of the Gladiators by Julius Fucik.

Or commonly known as the main theme music for the circus to reverberate very loudly and start the army of playing cards the size of an adult human to walk compactly towards the three of them.

It should be fun music that is usually listened to on television, but not for the current Black Rain trio. It was as if this music was accompanying them towards their own grave, which was this place.

"Welcome to my Circus Tent!"

Lennova opened her arms wide as if she had won this fight. But it is undeniable that Lennova has an advantage here. Anxious and confused faces could be clearly seen from the three of them at this moment.

"Now ... what will you do? Nimis and Ardenter." A satisfied grin and a small greeting from Lennova ended her welcome words to begin this Circus Tent.

"What's really going on here?!" Mei raised her voice. So that the sound is not inferior to the music that is playing at this time.

"We are in his area. This is a representation of Lennova's strength and all the traps and this army is also hers" said Nigiyaka

"What's? How could he do that? Doesn't this require a lot of energy?"

"Did you see what the old man did?"

Akihito suddenly enters into the conversation of the two of them, making Mei think and remember the previous events. And after pondering about it, he was surprised by the fact he discovered.

"Don't-don't?!"

"Just like you think. There was no way a child like him could perform a technique as great and as big as this. Of course the old geezer had helped him, after all it was also one of his abilities."

Mei's thoughts were successfully guessed by Akihito. But because of that, Mei became curious about the strength of the old grandfather— Ivis, and asked Akihito or Nigiyaka who could help explain.

"To put it simply, he was streaming out most of his aura to activate the best abilities for the person he channeled. That way, he could perform this extremely exhausting technique. And what's more, it's troublesome for us."

"That's .. so cheating."

Nigiyaka put out a grin. "Hehe .. no cheating words in the fight, May. It's a matter of being killed or killing, it's a principle that all Assassins must know."

"really. And the first step you have to take is to duck."

"Eh? Down down?"

"Hurry up!"

Mei who was still confused by the sudden order from Akihito quickly lowered her head. His mind that was still confused was opposite to his body that obeyed Akihito's orders.

But thanks to that as well, Mei managed to dodge the card man's spear attack. And in return, Akihito immediately launched his raw fist into the human body or head of the card.

No one can tell the head or body apart when viewed at a glance because the human face is above the center of the card without having a neck, so clearly Akihito hit the human face of the card until it bounced far enough.

But hitting one human card was not enough to stop the other, they were like emotionlessly walking past his fellow species who had just been knocked down by Akihito. And the one who was hit by Akihito stood back up.

"It's like they're not human" Mei said.

"From the looks of it you know, right? Let's go to a safer place."

The three of us then jumped up high, trying to climb one of the empty stands. But Lennova didn't let us off easily, she certainly had other ways to get in her way.

"Where do you think you're going?"

"Revelation!"

Akihito pushes Mei's head down while Nigiyaka has quick enough reflexes to duck on her own accord. Several knives were thrown simultaneously towards them from a direction they had not expected.

This time it was from the monkeys before, they pelted the three of them with knives nonstop. These monkeys are not like most monkeys. Although the hair and fur that covered his entire body was normal, but his eyes were all red which made him different from the others.

"They're attacking us too?!"

"Don't let your guard down!"

Nigiyaka pushed Akihito and Mei down into the stands and left herself in the air at this moment. It was not without reason, as he was currently being pounded with many knives and a large wooden rod.

The large log exceeded the bodies of the small monkeys. So it is impossible that those who threw it, Nigiyaka looked around and realized that the ones who threw it were the elephants. Just like the monkeys, the eyes of the elephants are also red.

Nimis flipped his katana and attacked with his blunt side. He then threw the log back in full force at the elephants who threw it.

There were five large logs that led to him and that much he threw. The previous blades also pierced into the wooden rod that Nigiyaka threw down and made it temporarily safe.

Good accuracy and enough strength to make the wooden rod turned to hit the elephants. Some of them fell in pain and some were angry. The monkeys also jumped up and down in wrath and shouted furiously when they found out the attack had failed.

Nigiyaka now lands in the stands next to Akihito and Mei.

"Did that work?"

"Eitherway. I'm not sure they're real animals myself." Nigiyaka looked down at the crowd of card men and the animals. "We put that aside first. Akihito, I need you to try something."

"What's that?"

"I want you to try to destroy the walls of this tent."

"We're gonna get out of here."

"out? Is that possible to do?"

"That's what I want to try. Maybe the wall of this tent looks made of ordinary cloth, but if you look better, it's even harder than steel."

Nigiyaka tried to knock several times on the wall of the tent and a sound appeared like he was knocking on iron. "Moreover, I have a bad feeling that we've been in here for a long time."

"I'll try."

Akihito then faced the wall of the tent, focusing his aura on his fist. A large grayish-colored aura now surrounded Akihito's fist.

"HAAAHHH !!!"

A loud sound resounded due to the loud vibration between the punch and the tent wall. The aura in Akihito's hand disappeared as he wished and smoke appeared on the wall of the tent. But unfortunately it wasn't even scratched, everything looked like new and like nothing happened.

"As I expected. It won't be that easy."

"What are you guys thinking?" Lennova only stood in the other part of the stands. "If you think this circus tent can be destroyed, it's better to just give up. I've made it indestructible except of my own accord."

Lennova said that proudly and without a cover-up. He also emitted a grin when the Black Rain trio conducted such a desperate experiment earlier. He was very confident of his current victory, as this was an invincible secret technique.

Ivis then walked to Lennova's side. He was only seen after a while ago lost somewhere. "Lennova, you can't move first" she said.

"I knew. I took only a few steps, nothing more. The rest I'll leave to my dolls."

Ivis glanced at Lennova's hands and feet in silence. Both of his movements shook violently as if he was not strong to move. But the expression Lennova gave off seemed to cover the intense tremors on her hands and feet.

He had expended an enormous amount of energy, even borrowing the aura belonging to Ivis which was not necessarily suitable for him to make a tent of this size. Not to mention the various kinds of puppet troops that were inside. It was natural that his body was tired of being moved.

But Ivis kept those thoughts to himself, after all the Black Rain trio did not know with that little secret.

"Now I will make you more desperate! Everybody, finish them!"

The cry of the command made all the dolls of Lennova seem to be whipped to obey her orders. They became even more aggressive in order to attack the Black Rain trio.

The marching band team game became faster. It was as if provoking the others to move faster and more vigorously than the previous one.

The card men who originally lined up neatly and walked regularly approached the Black Rain trio, now they are racing to climb up the stands and want to attack them immediately.

There are no stairs from below to climb the stands above, so they line up and stack up against each other so that their other species can climb up by climbing over their bodies.

The animals are also no less aggressive with human cards. The monkeys were hanging from one rope to another to get closer to them, and there was an elephant preparing to throw another log. But out of all of them, there was one animal whose speed exceeded the others.

While the card men were piling up to climb up, a lion jumped up with a high jump and was now on top of the stands, facing off against the Black Rain trio.

"We're surrounded." Mei looked desperate with this sight before her. But just as he was about to lose hope, Akihito lunged forward at the card-men who were piling up into a ladder.

"Eh?"

He gathered the aura in his right hand, then struck the section of the stands close to the lower end. The punch produced a loud cracking sound and a strong shock on their footing.

But it's pretty effective. The end of the tribune that had made them hold on now collapsed and the meat stairs they had built were also instantly destroyed, making them have to repeat from the beginning again.

Although there were some of them who were already on top of the stands, but the number was no problem than those who were falling down.

"It's too soon to give up. I'll take care of these fuckers. You guys take care of the other part." After such a talk, Akihito dove down and the ascending card men also came down.

"For all of you, motherfucker!"

"Akihito's right. I don't plan to lose here either. I'll take care of this lion, you take care of the one in the air, do you understand?"

"A-i? But didn't you say I was just watching this time?"

"The situation has changed. Now we really need your help, so you take care of those monkeys and elephants, do you understand?"

Nigiyaka repeated the question. Mei was actually doubtful of her own abilities, but that doubt she swallowed deeply and only a serious look was now on her face.

"I understand."

Without further ado, Mei immediately ran to the end of the stands and jumped up high. While in the air, he focused his aura and made two wind shields that revolved under his two feet that made him not fall but float in the air.

"I'm your opponent!"

While Lennova who noticed it was neither surprised nor interested at all. "Heh .. so he can fly. But I guess the word 'flying' doesn't suit him, he just makes his wind element a foothold for his feet. Yeah, whatever. I don't think he's a big deal" he murmured.

The fight between the three of them began. Akihito at the bottom ruffled the card man who tried to surround him, his speed and rampage were too great for the card man.

While in the stands, Nigiyaka also did not experience excessive difficulty against lions that have higher agility and attack power. Although they also besieged and continued to attack Nigiyaka simultaneously.

Then lastly in the air, the hanging monkeys and the throwing of logs and stones from the elephants can be avoided deftly by Mei. His speed as well as his coordination in setting directions as he flew looked very good as if he had wings on his back.

The sight that was clearly siding with Black Rain should have enraged Lennova. Ivis also realized that, but when he saw Lennova's face, there was no excessive annoyance or frustration— Although her serious face had not completely disappeared.

He held his chin as if he was thinking about something. "Lennova, it looks like this—" Ivis tried to get her to speak, but was quickly cut off by Lennova. "I know what you're thinking, but they still haven't noticed. Just relax."

Unknowingly Lennova's mouth grinned. "Although the view seems like we will lose, but it's only a matter of time. It's really just a matter of time. After that they will run out. The traitor and Black Rian's members will be finished."
