The Crisis World XX

Chap. 56: Meet With Each Opponent

Me, Herlin, and Kurobane-senpai tonight are heading to where we are on a mission. Otherwise the name of the place is Heiwa Pharmacy. Right, something like that.

But there was something stuck in my mind. We had a chance to talk to Oita-san in front of the cafe before we left. There are words that still make me think.

"Then we go first" said Herlin.

"Mrs." Oita-san nodded in understanding.

"Aren't you coming, Murasaki-san?"

"I don't need to go on a mission this time. Because everything's gonna be okay."

"Then what if we meet an enemy stronger than us?"

"Just calm. Everything's gonna be okay."

At that time he said that everything would be fine. But attacked a big factory with three men. Plus the one who attacked him was the High School kids. For the size of a joke, this is not at all funny.

"Huh …."

I let out a heavy breath because of the many unfavorable things we had.

"You have to get rid of your pessimistic nature as soon as possible, Iraya" said Cecilia.

"I'm not a pessimist, I'm a realist."

"Is it different?" ask Cecilia flat.

"Finally~! I can drink blood again~! Blood~ Blood~ Blood~!" Tetsu hummed happily.

On this mission I brought this Tetsu sword with me—I named my sword that way. Tetsu sounded very happy when he could absorb blood again after a long time. Because lately I always give him a pencil as his wages for cleaning the house, no wonder if he is very excited in this mission.

"We arrived" said Herlin.

After a long while of walking, we finally arrived at a large medicinal plant. We also hid behind a house not far from the factory.

Before entering, we set up a strategy to ambush and can carry out this mission as effectively as possible and if possible, as much as possible not cause many casualties.

"Alright, from here on out the two of you will advance" said Herlin.

"Huh?! How's you?"

"I'm the one who stays here and helps you from this distance. I will as much as possible restrain their movement with my gravitational force. So that way, you'll be free to enter and destroy their experiment."

Herlin explained at length about the strategy he used this time. I peeked a little at the factory and saw many guards with full combat uniforms and weaponry that could not be underestimated.

Then I thought back and finally agreed to Herlin's plan. Because this is the most effective plan than having to waste energy against them. Senpai also nodded in agreement with the plan.

"I think it's the best" Senpai said.

"Then …."

Herlin then looked to his right and left like he was looking for something. He found a large tree and walked towards it.

"I'll do it from here. This takes a little time, so I'll let you know if the process is over."

We both nodded. After that, Herlin put one knee on the ground and stayed in the knee position. He closed his eyes and prepared to begin the process.

After a few minutes had passed, Kurobane-senpai and I began to feel an enormous aura was darting under our footing. In addition, I also did not feel the presence of Herlin anymore and focused on the aura that massively shot down from the factory.

"This woman is so great! I want to drink his blood~!" tetsu.

"He completely removed his presence and simultaneously poured a super-large aura down the building. He's really great" praised Cecilia.

These two Spirits—Cecilia and Tetsu who were usually arrogant and exalted himself suddenly praised Herlin. Means what Herlin is doing right now is really great.

Herlin scrunched his forehead and checked the large number of people in the factory. He can ascertain the number of people in the factory area by checking the vibration made by the human. Especially with the aura that Herlin flowed under this factory, making it easier for him to know the number of people there.

"Eight pulu—no, there are about a hundred people who are in the factory. Most of them are ordinary people. But …." Words depend.

He detected that there was one person who had a very strong aura. Not wrong again, he is an Exception according to him. After a while, Herlin opened his eyes slowly.

"You can leave now. I'll help you from here."

We both nodded and looked at each other and then smiled.

"My first mission …."

"My third mission …."

Prok…

"… begins!"

We said it simultaneously and ended it with a tos before finally leaving. Herlin who saw that could only look at the behavior of the two of them. He then breathed a heavy breath.

"Once in a while it might be okay" he murmured.

**

The factory guards are currently very focused. They don't want any intruders to make it inside this factory without their knowledge like a few days ago. By holding a firearm and complete equipment, it could at least scare the person who saw it. At least that's what they expected.

But the guards were shocked when a silhouette of someone appeared from within the darkness of the night. The gatekeepers consisting of three people began to prepare with their weapons.

The silhouette was moving closer and closer, and when the light was pointed at him, his figure was visible. A teenage boy with a sword on his back—Iraya.

"What are you doing here, son? Hurry home!" said one of the guards while aiming his firearm.

"Well, I really wanted to go home and sleep, but there was something troublesome that I had to finish. So I beg you to cooperate, yeah."

"Basic boy! We're not kidding!"

The guards' index fingers had approached the trigger of their respective weapons and could have shot me at any time.

But I was still relaxed and calmly pulled my sword from its sheath. Tetsu was already excited and was looking forward to this. He could not hide his joy and then shouted.

"Good meal!"

Sryii…

I rushed very fast towards them. The guards did not stay silent and wanted to shoot me immediately. But his finger could not pull the trigger of his weapon and was like being held back by something.

"Ap— What happened?!"

"Tu-My body .. can't move!"

From a safe place, Herlin who was in focus felt the aura of Iraya darting rapidly towards the three people. He immediately restrained the movement of the three people and made Iraya free to attack him.

Craassh…

While Iraya, easily slashed their firearms into small pieces and pierced and slashed body parts such as hands and feet so that they could not move, but greatly avoided the vital parts.

"AarrgGhh…!"

"I'm sorry! I tried as gently as I could!"

The screams of the guards became a domineering voice that night. The guards who were approaching Iraya were all instantly unable to move as they were being held back by Herlin from a distance they could not attack.

Tiit…

The warning siren went off again that night and left the researchers inside the building panicking and in chaos.

"What's going on?!"

"We're under attack!"

"About? How many people attacked us this time?"

"One!"

"One?! Are you kidding me?! What are the guards doing outside?"

"Nearly the whole of our guards has been defeated by that man."

"Damn! Those people are useless! Delta Oi! What the hell are you doing?! Quickly go there and beat that guy!"

The cloaked man—Delta who had just been silent noticed the researchers were panicking, after being told to lower his head a little as a sign of excuse and then quickly leave the place.

While the researchers were unaware, Kurobane-senpai was hiding in the air vents and was watching them from earlier. He checked around the room and saw that there were many glass tubes containing humans.

"So this is the experiment they're referring to?" muttered.

Klao…

After confirming that the cloaked person had left the room, Kurobane-senpai immediately kicked the hollow ventilation cover and was directly in front of the researchers.

"Hup!"

"You-You... Who are you?!"

The researcher looks frightened when he sees the sudden arrival of Kurobane-senpai. But Kurobane-senpai returned their terrified expression with a sweet smile.

"I'm sorry, but it looks like you should go to bed sooner."

Buukk…

The two researchers fell unconscious while getting two straight blows to his stomach. After stretching a bit and rubbing his hand to hit earlier, Kurobane-senpai walked towards the glass tubes to check them out.

He saw the humans in it. Closing his eyes like he was sleeping soundly without wearing a single dress. He clicked his tongue and cursed the man who did this.

"Gruesome."

He said that but on the other hand also felt sorry for them. Without knowing anything, they were dragged to this side of the world.

Kurobane-senpai checked if there was anything she could use to free them. He then saw a board with many buttons there. He then approached her.

He looked at the buttons and began to think about which one to press. But he can't do it carelessly. Because if he presses the wrong button, then it could happen something that he does not want.

Kurobane-senpai then presses a button below which is written 'Release'. But the tubes did not react to anything and instead aimed them at other buttons with the numbers underneath.

"I-It …."

Kurobane-senpai is currently very hesitant about what she is doing. But even so with a strong determination, he increased his courage and continued to carry on.

"Taught me that I'm afraid of being wrong? Eheheh .. But, How about we try one first .. can we?"

He then pressed the button with the number one below him. And then a glass tube reacts.

Jess. Bluub…

The glass tube bit by bit the water in it began to decrease and after all was lost, the glass tube opened and made the humans inside it fall down.

"Successful!" Kurobane-senpai.

"If this is the case, we just press the number button according to the number of tabs and—"

Blaaarrr…

A burst of fire shot towards Kurobane-senpai who was busy pressing the buttons. But with his quick reflexes, he managed to dodge the fire attack perfectly.

"Who's there?!"

Tap…

Kurobane-senpai shouted to ascertain who the person who attacked her was. A silhouette then walked closer towards him slowly. And after being exposed to enough light, then he could see it clearly. If the one who attacked him was a cloaked person who should have gone to where Iraya was at this time.

"So you didn't go to Satou-kun's, did you?"

"U-Urgh …."

One of the researchers had noticed his stings and then he saw Delta there.

"ah! The delta! There's another intruder here! Features of adalaAKHh—!"

Before the researcher finished his words, Kurobane-senpai directed a fairly strong wind towards her head which made her head hit the floor and then fainted again.

"You go to sleep again."

Delta who saw what Kurobane-senpai was doing only glanced a little and then refocused on Kurobane-senpai. He seemed to not care about what happened to the researcher.

Kurobane-senpai then already did the horses and prepared to face Delta. While Delta just stood up, but he seemed to have been very focused from earlier. Their fight will begin soon.

At the same time without the two of them noticing, the person who had been Kurobane-senpai out of the tube suddenly regained his senses and opened his eyes slightly.

"In-Where ... is this …?"

**

Meanwhile in the outer area of the factory, Iraya was facing dozens of armed guards alone—not alone either, anyway. First, he was assisted by Cecilia and Tetsu, and then there was Herlin who helped stop the other movement. So he's not alone at all.

Craassh…

"DWTK…!"

One last guard was defeated by me just now. So in total I have paralyzed about 76 guards. If from Herlin's observation there were about 100 people, it means there are still 24 people. What's the rest are all researchers huh? Yes it could be.

"Iraya!"

"A-What the hell, Tetsu?! Don't yell all of a sudden that's dong."

"less blood! I'm not full yet! I still want to eat!" tetsu Whine.

I understand why he whines that way. Because I just slashed the weapons and a little bit of their limbs. So of course the blood Tetsu got was very lacking.

"You again! I want some more! Want again! Want again!"

"All right! All righty! I'm gonna find someone else, so don't yell anymore, okay?"

"Huu.. Okay …."

From her tone of voice, it seemed like she was crying again. But he answered "OK" earlier. So for a while I'll be safe from her screams.

"The basis of the maker of the cry of the child of people," said Cecilia suddenly.

"Do you want to fight now?" balaku.

As the three of us were in an internal debate, suddenly a strange person approached us. People with long robes and strange masks. He stopped a few meters in front of me.

I who was confused by this strangely dressed person could only greet him awkwardly.

"Etto .. H-Hallo, maybe?"

"You're saying 'hallo' is not right, how do you want to make new friends later?"

"Whisper," I said quickly.

He was silent and did not return my greeting. Is he not the enemy? I immediately put on a alert position and prepared when he made a sudden attack.

The cloaked person suddenly raised his hands on a chest. Does he want to take something out of his palm?

"Cautiously, the aura he has is quite strong" said Cecilia.

So he's the enemy? I then took out my aura and prepared if he would attack me. But suddenly, he waved his hand and seemed to reply to my 'hallo' earlier.

"Eh?" Me and Cecilia were shocked at the same time.

The cloaked man did something unexpected. Is he not the enemy? Was he a victim of experimentation? I don't understand the meaning of his behavior at all.

Klink…

But after that, he raised his hand high and on it created hundreds of ice needles that were ready to rain on me. I was caught off guard quickly and then returned to standby.

"D-He's the enemy?!"

"Jump to the left now! Or you'll die! Hurry on!"

Daarr…

Tetsu's shout that warned me was in rhythm with my jump that was far enough to the left and managed to avoid it. The former from his attack completely destroyed my previous foothold.

"He's strong too. But …."

I then stood up and took back the attacking horses.

"… This time I will attack. Are you two ready?!"

"Yes!" cecilia and Tetsu said at the same time.

**

Meanwhile at Herlin's place, he was still focused on observing Iraya and Kurobane-senpai from a safe place.this time it was he who would take the role of support and entrust it completely to the two of them.

"In the factory, Senpai was fighting the only strong man I detected earlier. And Iraya …."

He scrunched his forehead and found a fact that made him quite surprised.

"The aura is the same as that of Senpai, but he is stronger. Are they the same person—no, it's his clone?" herlin Mumbles.

"It's true."

"…?!!"

Herlin was shocked because someone returned his mutter. He slightly lost focus for a while but a moment later, he was able to regain control of his focus and strength. After he calmed down, he looked at the source of the sound.

Tap…

"Good night. What are you doing out here all night?" he said politely.

Herlin did not sense his existence as he approached here. And he managed to find out his whereabouts even though he had covered up his presence.

Who the hell is he?
