The Crisis World XX

Chap. 87: Attack in Osaka

Although the attack in Tokyo has been stopped by Ryuzaki and the other Exception there, but the problem has not been solved because the attacks in Osaka and Nagoya have not been stopped.

The area of Kyoto controlled by Black Rain also still shows no signs of winning the fight because both sides are still equally balanced with the Assassins. Even Oita-san and Astaroth could still chat in between their battles.

"Hah ... hah .. hah .. you know? Are you getting tired already? It seems that the winner of this fight has become increasingly clear" said Astaroth.

"Hah .. hah .. hehe .. just keep talking. Your words will mean nothing more when you die."

Although both of them were already exhausted, but their fight was still far from over. And during that pause, Oita-san had a chance to say something.

"Oi Astaroth, do you think your attacks on other cities will work? Hehe .. I doubt that."

"Why are you suddenly talking like that?"

"Because I'm sure they'll do anything to protect something they love, whether it's the city or the people close to them."

Oita-san said that based on the experience she felt when Hayashi fought with Iraya. Suddenly Iraya becomes very strong and manages to defeat Hayashi in that unbalanced fight.

So Oita-san was sure, as long as there was something they wanted to protect, they would become stronger than usual.

**

Meanwhile in Osaka, a major attack is also underway. And the giant that attacked him was a giant snake named by Astaroth as the World Serpent.

Yukimura Ren as the leader of the Yellow Thunder, which is one of the members of Kuni no Hashira located in Osaka, of course, will not stay silent. He told his other members to rescue the citizens first and try to minimize the falling victims.

And after that, Yukimura himself will fight the World Serpent who is pacing to destroy the city without anyone bothering him. The serpent attacked all those below him indiscriminately.

Although his body was large, but his movements were agile and fast like a normal snake. It's like gravity doesn't work on this one thing. But even so, Yukimura was not daunted at all and stood in front of the World Serpent that was darting towards him.

"I won't let you destroy my city any more than this!"

"SiiiSssHhHH …!!!"

The snake hiss came out of the World Serpent along with him which accelerated his movements straight towards Yukimura.

But suddenly Yukimura gave off an enormous aura and his body also grew to a height of about 15 meters. The snake opened its mouth wide and prepared to swallow Yukimura who had grown round and round. But Yukimura didn't let it be that easy because, he held back from being eaten alive.

Duaummm…

"Would you eat me? I suggest you find another prey like a rabbit or a squirrel!"

Because Yukimura was holding back the World Serpent movement by forcibly causing a loud bang due to the impact of the two of them. But it did not stop there, the Snake was still trying to attack even though his movements had been held back.

Cyuush…

"What?!"

Yukimura who was holding the mouth of the World Serpent open was suddenly shocked because there was a deep purple poison liquid sprayed from the poison channel from his mouth. Luckily Yukimura was still able to dodge the poison spray and spray it behind him.

Ccsshhh…

When he looked back at the poison that had hit the road asphalt, the poison turned out to contain a kind of acid that could melt something. Evidently from the asphalt behind him that began to melt.

Yukimura refocused on the enemy who was in front of him at this moment. He realized that the enemy in front of him was more dangerous than just destroying buildings with his body.

So he tried to think of a way that this snake would not cause more damage than he did now.

The loss to Osaka city must have been huge given the many office buildings, housing, as well as public places that were destroyed. Yukimura tried to glance to his right and left while looking for a place that he could use as a battleground.

And he found it.

Yodo River, a long river that crosses the city of Osaka. Its width is quite large and fit for the large body of the snake as well as the body of Yukimura himself. So the Yodo River was the right place and also the closest to their current battle spot.

"All right!"

Yukimura changed his position that was holding the snake's mouth shut and locked the snake's neck with both hands.

"Damn! You're so heavy!"

Brruukkk…

And with all his might, Yukimura lifted the 25-meter-long snake up and slammed it back hard. He managed to do so and put the snake in an inverted position, while Yukimura immediately stood up and removed the lock from the World Serpent's neck.

"Haha …. It turns out that dings aren't just for humans!"

Yukimura laughed out loud and made the snake provoked. It wasn't long for him to turn his body back and prepare to attack Yukimura again. A sigh of anger rang out again from the snake, this time he stopped his intention to destroy the city and focused on Yukimura alone.

"Ohoho .. are you angry? It should be so! Now follow me!"

Yukimura ran towards the Yodo River which from the beginning he planned to go and fight there. And because the World Serpent had been provoked by emotion and focused on Yukimura, he was finally lured by it and followed Yukimura to the Yodo River.

After running up to the Yodo River, Yukimura then jumped into the water and it turned out that the water did not reach his knee height. Though the river is quite deep and looks like a children's pool to Yukimura who is now.

Behind him, there was a World Serpent wriggling and darting very quickly after Yukimura. He also reached the Yodo River and went into the water. Just like Yukimura, the Yodo River is also like a children's pool for the World Serpent.

"Now I can be more free" murmured Yukimura.

"ShiiisSshhH …!!"

Their fight will again begin, but in a different place and Yukimura can bring out all his abilities.

Elsewhere, in a place quite far away from the Yukimura fighting area against the World Serpent. There was an old man who was standing in the middle of a road that was destroyed by the World Serpent attack without fear.

He was Ivis, one of the Assassin members who unleashed monsters into the streets as well as the World Serpent. With butler clothes that he always wears makes it seem like someone important and authoritative.

"The battle is about to begin. I will report the results to Astaroth-sama."

"Yeah!!"

Suddenly someone fell in front of him, a mature woman wearing an office shirt. His appearance looked very dirty and his face showed a look of fear.

Ivis then walked up to the woman and stretched out his hand intending to help her up and the woman happily accepted.

"Are you okay?" ask Ivis.

"Te-thank you— Hiiih!"

Behind the woman, there was one of the monsters that chased after her and saw the existence of the woman. The woman was terrified and took refuge behind Ivis.

"Help me!"

"I'm sorry, but what can an old man like me do?"

"Yeah!"

Hearing that Ivis couldn't help her made the woman despair and ran away leaving Ivis with the monster. He ran with his remaining strength, but unfortunately the monster ran faster than him.

"GroaAakHh …!!!"

"No!!"

Craassh…

The woman's screams stopped as her head entered the monster's mouth and her sharp fingernails had also pierced through her chest to her back. The monster then directly ate the dead woman in that place as well.

While Ivis did not react to what was already happening in front of him, it was as if it was a normal thing for him. He then walked away leaving the monster who was busy eating it alone.

"There's still a lot to take care of" he said as he walked away.

**

The situation in residential areas and shopping centers is very chaotic. The Osaka area did not have as much Exception as Tokyo, so they found it difficult to deal with the onslaught of hundreds of these monsters.

The monsters not only attacked humans but also ate them as if they were starving carnivores. No matter who the humans in front of him were, the monster would definitely attack him.

In one of the houses where all the lights have been turned off, the person inside is seen standing guard inside the living room just in case a monster enters the house. And that house is Hayate Kendou's.

"What's really going on right now?"

Previously he had seen out of the house through the window and saw Yukimura who was fighting against a giant snake. Then there was also the warning about gathering at the Yellow Thunder office for a safe place from the monsters.

He didn't know anything because he was sleeping before and when he woke up, his condition instantly became this chaotic. Actually he had gotten a call because he was an Exception and was told to help defeat the wandering monsters.

But he put that aside first, because he still has more important things at the moment.

"Hoaamm .. Kendou-nii, why so much noise?"

"Psst .. shut up for a second, Hana-chan."

A woman who was as beautiful as a Junior High came out of the room still sleepy and rubbed her eyes. But he immediately realized when his brother told him to shut up by covering his mouth with his brother's hands.

"A-What's wrong?!" ask Hana-chan.

"Here."

Braaakh…

As her voice drew closer, Hayate pulled Hana-chan back into her room and the two of them hid inside. The three-meter-tall monster entered Hayate's house by breaking down the front door.

It seemed that he was interested in entering Hayate's house because he heard the conversation between the two of them. The monster walked slowly while looking for the whereabouts of Hayate and his sister who were hiding in the room. He looked to the right and left and was interested in one of the doors, the door of the room.

The monster approached the door of the room and opened it.

Shiii. Swuuushh…

Upon opening the room door, the monster instantly collapsed and died with a kitchen knife stuck behind its head. Hayate wasn't without his preparations. He had taken the kitchen knife as an impromptu weapon to protect himself and his conjecture was correct.

And about his attack just now, he stuck a little aura on the knife and threw it over the side of the monster's head. When it had shot past the back of his head, Hayate immediately teleported there and stabbed the head behind the monster.

Everything happens very quickly and is finished in just one blink of Hana-chan's eye. After the monster died, Hayate immediately approached his sister again. He was still sitting on the wall with a frightened face and his hands were still in his mouth. Hayate approached and tried to calm him down.

"Our house is not safe. We should go to a safer place in Yellow Thunder's office, do you understand?"

Hana-chan just nodded slowly following what her sister said. Although he was still wearing his sleeping pajamas, they did not have time to change.

After preparing for a while, the two of them finally walked out slowly from the house. Outside the atmosphere was more chaotic than they had expected with Yukimura and a giant snake fighting in the distance, making everything seem to be a complete package.

"That's you," Hayate murmured.

"How about this, Kendou-nii?"

"Just calm down, I'll think of something."

There were many monsters roaming the streets in front of Hayate's house. It was actually easy for him to get through those monsters if he was alone, but he was currently together with his sister who could not possibly live alone. So he had to think of another plan.

"For now, we're walking slowly as far as we can" Hayate said.

His sister simply nodded in agreement and then followed Hayate from behind slowly. They tried to be as calm as possible and did not want to be seen by the monster.

So far they still managed to walk around, but it did not last long because of one incident that made them discovered.

"Dam!"

Hana-chan unintentionally yelled at the sight of the fallen corpse right in front of her. It made the monsters know the whereabouts of the two of them.

"GrrRouggHh …!!!"

"Damn! Go, Hana-chan!"

Hayate ran over and pulled Hana-chan's hand that was behind him because hiding was no longer any use. The monsters ran very fast even though Hayate was still faster than them.

But Hana-chan couldn't keep up with Hayate's current speed and fell down.

"Uwaa—! Uh?"

Before Hana-chan fell, Hayate could still catch her well and carry her like a Princess. He did not slow down his pace at all and still continued to run.

"Get a tight hold!"

"Good-Good."

There were two monsters blocking their way and Hayate was already preparing to throw the arrow that he had deliberately brought. Without using his bow, Hayate threw the arrow in the middle of the two monsters until it passed them.

Shiii…

Hayate managed to teleport past the two monsters without any significant difficulty and he also did not stop running. But in contrast to Hana-chan who suddenly felt dizzy and nauseous as if she wanted to vomit.

"Ke-Kendou-nii …."

"If you want to puke hold for a little while longer, we'll be at our destination soon."

There were only a few more blocks left before they reached the Yellow Thunder office. But their obstacles were also no less heavy, besides the monsters, the damaged streets were also a troublesome obstacle for Hayate.

After running for a few minutes, the two of them could finally see the front gate of Yellow Thunder's office.

"That's it! We'll be there soon! What—?"

But suddenly there were a lot of monsters coming around Hayate. They did not allow Hayate to go and prepare to make it their food.

"GrrRouggHh …!!!"

"Curf! Goddamn creatures, I'll take care of you guys later!"

There were about ten monsters surrounding Hayate and his sister at the moment. This situation was quite dire for Hayate right now. Hana-chan also looks very frightened and holds Hayate's clothes very tightly.

"Think!"

Hayate thought very hard and after a while he finally came up with an idea that would certainly not harm his sister. Hayate then lowered his sister who from earlier he was carrying.

Hayate then took out all the arrows that were inside the sheath and pointed them up and in front of the Yellow Thunder office gate.

Now that the preparations are done, Hayate speaks to Hana-chan.

"Hold the dizziness a little more, huh?"

"Hn?"

Although Hana-chan still did not understand what Hayate meant, she entrusted everything to her brother because she knew that Hayate never harmed her sister.

"I understand."

"GrrRouggHh …!!!"

The monster started attacking and ran towards Hayate who was in the middle of their circle. While Hayate just hugged his sister tightly so did Hana-chan who hugged him while closing her eyes.

Shiii…

The moment Hana-chan opened her eyes, the two of them were already in front of the Yellow Thunder office gate and Hayate released his embrace from Hana-chan.

"Do you feel dizzy?"

"Nn, little."

"But now that you're safe, if you go inside then there's nothing else you need to worry about."

Craassh…

Suddenly the ten monsters that had attacked Hayate were all killed by some Exception from the Yellow Thunder that was guarding around his office. After killing all of them one of them approached Hayate.

"Hayate, you're finally here."

"I'm sorry I'm late, there's something I have to take care of."

"If you're done quickly join us because we're short on people right now."

"I understand."

The exception then left and went back to patrol around the Yellow Thunder office. While Hayate also wants to go with them, but Hana-chan suddenly yells to stop him.

"Sister wants to go there too?! It's dangerous in there!"

"Hmm? Did you underestimate your brother's strength? I am strong, you know."

"I know, anyway. But they kill a lot of people."

Hayate just smiled seeing his sister worry about him. Even so he was happy because it meant his sister loved him. Hayate then approached Hana-chan.

"I must have returned safely. Oh yeah, later after this I'll make you your favorite curry since childhood, how about?"

"I-I'm not a kid anymore!" yell Hana-chan.

"Ehehe .. sorry, sorry."

"Hah .. this brother. All right, be careful on the road."

Hayate nodded slowly then turned his body around and immediately went after the other Exception that had gone first. But before that he could talk something.

"I'll go first." And then he left.

Yukimura, Hayate, and the others were fighting to save the city and the loved ones inside from this monster attack. To be able to continue the normal life they used to live.
