A grin emanated wide from the faces of the two of us when I had already descended from the sky. My ten imitations have also returned into my body and made my strength seem to be replenished.
"Is this what you want?" my many.
"Truely, this power that is almost on par with me .. I really want to fight it!"
"Are you a maniac or something? Yes whatever, this time I will fight you seriously."
"Strike me!"
Ctiicks…
I flicked my finger and after that some Invisible Hands of mine started flying towards Astaroth and intended to attack him. They move so fast within my control, ordinary people will not be able to keep up with their speed. But this one person instead smiled with excitement because of it.
Astaroth split all of my Invisible Hands with his bare hands which he covered with aura. But unfortunately my strength did not stop there.
"What?"
The Invisible Hands that Astaroth had split again regenerated and prepared to attack him again. He didn't think that my strength was just that, did he? Yeah, hopefully not. Because I will give him the real hell.
"Good, good, good. You're a worthy opponent for me to beat, Murasaki Oita!"
"Yes, yes, it's enough to yell at him and focus on my attack."
Shiii…
Astaroth made a small fireball with both hands. But over time the size of the fireball got bigger and bigger. Laughing in excitement, he then let go of it just like that and let it explode nearby.
"Receive this!"
Duuuaarrr…
The explosion of the fireball was enormous and destroyed anything nearby within a 50-meter radius, including me. But I could still take cover with my Invisible Hands which I enlarged and surrounded around me, so not a single bit of his attacks hit me.
The ground I was on was also destroyed by the explosion, but I did not move at all because of my Invisible Hands I made as a foothold and made me no longer need to go down.
You could say this is my absolute defense where no one can penetrate it—ya at least until now has not existed.
Returning to my fight, after letting out the explosion earlier and successfully destroying the nearby Invisible Hands, I did not see Astaroth's current whereabouts. His existence also disappeared and he hid it very well.
But he's mistaken for one thing.
My lips lifted because I realized that. Unfortunately I am the owner of Unique Skill, Knowing. I can sense the existence of a person, even at the slightest level. That's why I call this my absolute defense.
Taps…
I could realize that Astaroth was currently behind me and was ready to smash my head. I then looked back at the exact moment, Astaroth was a little surprised as I managed to realize his whereabouts at the moment he wanted to attack. But he still attacked me.
His hand was already coated by the hot aura with a burning air and he pointed it straight towards my head. But Invisible Hands worked really well, before his attack got to my head, he had already blocked it.
Duaarrr…
The explosion again occurred as a result of the clash of auras that occurred between the two of us. Although the explosion was smaller than the one before, it still included a large explosion.
After the explosion disappeared and only the smoke left was also gradually disappearing, Astaroth still remained in the same place. Not because of his own will, but because the hand he used to attack was held back by my Invisible Hands.
"My hands?!"
"Time for a counterattack!"
I regenerated the Invisible Hands that had been hit by the previous explosion and immediately shot towards Astaroth's body from various directions, penetrating through it and making his body hollow like a honeycomb.
Craaassh…
"Ahaaghh …."
My chest, arms, thighs, calves, and other parts had already been hollowed out due to my attack. His mouth also spewed blood that poured down towards his chin. But he still hasn't given up. With his left hand still free, he tried to let out his aura again and attacked me again.
But it's free. I easily caught his arm and re-locked his movements, the attack that Astaroth was trying to do also failed and disappeared.
"Just be free!"
Craaassh…
I severed Astaroth's hand from his arm and the blood immediately poured out from the direction of his open wound making him shout loudly.
Although he was shouting loudly, but his right hand was still stuck on my Invisible Hands. I thought that he would give up or go back to talking nonsense like he used to do, but this time the next thing he did was beyond my shadow.
Craaassh…
He pulled out his right hand which was still firmly restrained. It was so strong that it made a loud noise and part of the arm until his elbow was left there, even though he finally broke free and fell to the ground.
"What are you really doing?" my many.
But my voice was too small and the distance between me and Astaroth was also too far so he did not answer. He looked very messy down there with blood covering almost his entire body and his two arms were gone.
"It's over, is it?"
"Hehehe …."
"Hn?"
When I thought that our current fight was over, it turned out that my guess was wrong. Astaroth laughed even when his body was in a terrible state.
"Why ... are you laughing?"
"You really put me in a mess, huh, Murasaki Oita? But don't think it's over."
Astaroth stood with great difficulty without the help of his hands. But he still let out a grin then after a while there was a shock on Astaroth's body.
The wound holes that were all over his body suddenly regenerated and were as healthy as new again. Both of his arms were broken also slowly but surely recovered as before. It was only fitting that he could easily cut off his own arm like that.
"The regeneration ability ... was beyond my expectations," I murmured.
"All right, let's start again." Astaroth had recovered as before and was ready to fight again.
"Curtain."
Astaroth darted towards me quickly and I did the same, followed by my Invisible Hands. When the distance was close, he prepared to punch me, but with my absolute defense I was able to precisely withstand the blow.
Daaakkh…
When the punch had been broken, I returned the blow that had slipped into his cheek. But that didn't stop him and he was still in the same place.
Even so, he did not counterattack again and just smiled while looking at me.
"?!!"
Sruukk…
Right from the ground where I am currently. There was a large land with many sharp edges and quickly headed straight towards me. My distance from the ground right now is about 10 meters more, but the movement of the ground can reach me in less than half a second.
But again I can still block it and destroy it with Invisible Hands which I enlarged in size. Lucky I have this Knowing ability, I am sure that if the ones against Astaroth are the other Black Rain members, I am sure they will not survive.
Returning to my fight, after launching that super-fast attack earlier, Astaroth was still not finished with it.
"What else is this time?!"
The roots of the tree this time came from behind my body. They were numerous and seemed to have a mind of their own. I looked at Astaroth whose cheek was still attached to my fist, he was smiling and as if indicating that he was the mastermind of all these attacks.
I can't keep quiet here. Even though my ability managed to destroy that root, but there were too many tree roots pointing towards me. So I pushed Astaroth down to the ground and immediately darted away from the roots of that tree.
Braaakh…
The roots of the tree were moving faster than I expected and the movements were also well organized. The roots seemed to surround this hill so that he could move freely without being hampered at all.
"Don't forget me!"
As I was being focused with roots chasing from behind me, Astaroth suddenly appeared from the front and tried to attack me from both directions. He made two balls of energy that he threw in both hands and threw them at me.
But I managed to pull him to the right and to the left so as to make two explosions on the ground. I darted towards Astaroth and caught his hand, after which I threw him towards the roots of the tree that was chasing me hoping that he would be hit by his own attack.
But my hope was in vain, the roots of the tree seemed to recognize who the owner was. The roots split and removed the sharp side and let Astaroth fall on the flat.
"Hehehe .. will kill me with my own attack?"
"Curtain!"
He shot back towards me followed by many tree roots behind him. In response to his movements, I enlarged one of my Invisible Hands to twice the size and width of my body, leaving a large hole in the front.
Brains…
I managed to destroy all of the tree roots that were chasing me in one strike, Invisible Hands worked extremely well. But there was still one big problem that I could not ignore, which was that I could not find Astaroth at the moment.
Again he lost his presence. But it doesn't seem like he's learning from experience, I just need to activate my Unique Skill to find out the exact location.
I closed my eyes to look for his whereabouts, but I was surprised because when I realized Astaroth's whereabouts, he was already very close behind me. I looked back but it was useless because his fists had already hit my chin first.
Buuaakhs…
I was thrown up quite a distance due to Astaroth's punch. My Invisible Hands weakened when I was hit by an attack from Astaroth.
Swuush…
Astaroth quickly moved as if climbing the stairs with air as his footing. It can move freely as if walking on the ground with its good power control ability.
Even so, I didn't just sit back and improve my position so as not to become a samsak for Astaroth. Although I can't fly and move freely in the air like Mei-chan, but with my strength at least I won't lose to Astaroth in an aerial fight right now.
I pointed the Invisible Hands towards Astaroth in a row, but he was still able to easily avoid it and when the distance was close to me, he again tried to hit me. But I pitted him against Invisible Hands.
"I suspected! Your power is over your consciousness. But because of the crazy instincts you have, as if to make it look like he has his own mind, am I right?!"
I gave a sneer over the explanation given by Astaroth about my abilities. The trap was almost right even though this was the first time we fought after such a long time.
"That's right! You almost guessed it right! But it's no use even if you find out, because I'm going to kill you here!"
"Amaha …! You finally said it!"
Swuushh…
Now the sky of Kyoto is the place of our fight. On a clear night and a bit of cloud at the moment, with a fire burning some of the housing below us and many houses that have been destroyed by other fights.
And now in the sky there is also a great fight. Like flashes of lightning striking and sparkling at night, and when viewed from under the fight we are like a show of fireworks burning endlessly.
The speed of both of us was no longer able to be followed and we seemed to move places and only seen when we complained of a blow or attack. With the screams we let out that were barely audible due to the tightness of the winds over the stratosphere.
We fought for about 20 minutes where almost thousands or even tens of thousands of blows occurred between us. Making of course both of us exhausted and finally stopping for a moment with a distance far enough to take a breath.
"Hah ... pretty well you can keep up with my speed, too," said Astaroth.
"Hehe .. My seven-year development has not been in vain."
"But now it's this hour …."
"What do you mean?"
Astaroth then took the HP that was in his pants pocket, quite miraculous as well because it was not destroyed during the fight with me earlier. He called someone and then talked to them.
"Lennova, is everything ready? … Good then, now you can call Baram and Ivis to do it simultaneously .. fine."
He hung up and refocused on me. I who was still confused by the direction of the conversation could only be vigilant, but earlier he mentioned the names of Lennova, Ivis, and Baram who were all other Assassin members.
"What are you planning?"
"Help the surprise I gave you!"
I still did not understand what he was doing until suddenly my HP rang. I picked it up and then picked it up, apparently the one who called was Ryuzaki.
"What's up Ryuzaki? I'm busy right now."
"Maybe you don't believe what I'm saying right now, but …."
Ryuzaki's words hang up and make me wonder what made him call all of a sudden.
Meanwhile in Tokyo, Ryuzaki was gazing outwards from within the Red Flame study. While calling Oita-san, he then exited his study and jumped up to the roof of the dojo for a wider and clearer vision.
And he saw it too.
A giant human skeleton that usually exists only in Japanese myths. But at this moment Ryuzaki saw with his own eyes that it was the real one. At about 90 feet or nearly 28 meters, he walked freely among the tall buildings in Tokyo. He began to destroy the buildings and attack those who were passing by.
"The creature .. Gashadokuro," Ryuzaki murmured.
Gashadokuro—The Unseen is a figure commonly found in Japanese mythology. Shaped like a human skeleton with a height of almost 30 meters.
As Ryuzaki was confused and astonished by the large creature he saw at this time, Hayashi Satou suddenly came to report the current state of emergency of Tokyo.
"Report, Ryuzaki-san," Hayashi-san said.
"What's wrong?"
"The monsters roamed around and started attacking the people on the street."
"The monster?"
Ryuzaki thought for a while and thought that this had something to do with the experiments conducted by Ayakashi Corp. but he put those thoughts aside first and placed more importance on the current conditions.
"Focus to save the citizens first, call all Exception in Tokyo to help in the mission this time. Tell them it's an emergency mission."
"Good!"
Hayashi Satou left there. While Ryuzaki who from earlier was receiving Oita-san's phone. He said nothing more and hung up his phone and immediately rushed off the roof to prepare for the fight.
Not only in the Tokyo area, other areas of Kuni no Hashira, Osaka and Nagoya also experienced the same attack. Many monsters measuring three meters were roaming around and attacking the innocent citizens.
The organization in Osaka, namely Yellow Thunder is currently also busy to save the citizens and face the monsters. But he also faces a bigger problem that is also experienced by Tokyo, namely the emergence of large creatures that ravage the city of Osaka.
His nimble and agile movements coupled with his large body made it easy to destroy anything he passed. Dark green scales seemed to be a nightmare for the city of Osaka that night. The 25-meter-long creature was laid out with a hiss that could be clearly heard.
"Giant switch?" yukimura Ren, leader of the Yellow Thunder.
Just like the Osaka and Tokyo areas, the Nagoya area also did not escape the attack of large creatures and monsters. The huge creature seemed to be the ruler of the sky and at the same time a nightmare for the citizens in Nagoya.
The lizard has wide wings and if stretched can block the moon visible from the earth. With his breath that can emit fire, he burns whatever he sees and causes a hellish terror for Osaka. The creature in question is a dragon, a mythological creature that he thought only existed in fairy tales.
"Dragon, huh? I thought it was only in the storybook" said Mushino Aoda, leader of White Cloud.
Back to the fight between Murasaki Oita and Astaroth. Yep, back to my fight. It seems that a serious situation is also happening in the other three areas of Kuni no Hashira. Ryuzaki hung up without saying anything else and I put my phone in my pants pocket.
"What have you done?" my many.
"Subject A, Gashadokuro attacks Tokyo. Then there is Subject B1, the World Serpent that attacked Osaka and Subject B2, Wyvern that attacked Nagoya area. And there's also Subject D, Delta, attacking Kyoto."
"What?"
"Actually I wanted to use Subject C to attack Kyoto, but since he had already escaped I looked for a replacement for him and I finally found Delta. I will also reclaim Subject C from the boy" Astaroth said.
This battle became bigger than imagined. This time not only attacked one city, but four cities at once were attacked simultaneously.
