Chapter 53
Suddenly Kuusetsu tried to phase into the wall in order to escape. However, before she even had the chance, both Nagisa and Mira kicked her in the gut as they destroyed the wall she tried to escape through. Kuusetsu grabbed both of them by their ankles and threw them to the ground. Just as they were falling, both Mira and Nagisa didn't say a word as they nodded towards each other.
The two of them spun their bodies and landed so hard on their feet that the ground beneath them broke apart. Suddenly Nagisa pulled his left fist backwards as Kuusetsu was suddenly being pulled towards him. Just as Kuusetsu got close, she noticed that a wire was wrapped around her left wrist. However, by the time she noticed, both Mira and Nagisa slammed their fists into her gut as she was sent flying back while the wire snapped from the force.
Kuusetsu smirked as she suddenly flew high up into the air. Though she was stunned to see various clones of Mira on the ground. However, her gaze wasn't fixed on Mira for long. Kuusetsu tried her best to find Nagisa amongst the crowd of Mira's. That hit to her gut earlier told her everything she needed. The one who could cause the most damage to her wasn't Mira.
Suddenly Mira jumped high into the air as she was ready to punch Kuusetsu. Seeing this, Kuusetsu held her arms in a x-like position before swinging them down with great force and cutting Mira into pieces. However, her eyes widen in shock when the Mira she cut merely turned to smoke as the real one was already in front of her.
The moment Mira slammed her fist at Kuusetsu, she noticed how Kuusetsu's face secreted some fluid as her fist harmlessly slipped off of the shuuki's face as she was kicked into the ground. Before Mira could hit the ground, she found herself in the arms of Nagisa as he had caught her before she could hit the ground. When the two of them looked up in the air, they saw Kuusetsu holding a bunch of cards.
"Against opponents like you, this is no longer an execution but a battle. I've been forbidden from fighting, so I was told that if I found myself in a battle I should flee and let these loose throughout the city. All out, release!!!!"
"You bitch!!!"
"Let's see how many you can save! Good lu-"
Before Kuusetsu could say anything, she felt a sharp pain in her right shoulder as she fell to the ground. When she placed her hand on her wound, she saw her own blood as Nagisa was seen holding a gun in his right hand. Seeing that he hit his mark, the boy let out a sigh of relief.
"Why do people never attack when the villain gives a dumb monologue? Good thing I asked Yachiho to lend me one of her guns before the mission. Mira, I need you to make as many clones as you can to save any civilians."
"What are you going to do?"
"I'm the [War Genius], what else do you think I'm gonna do. While you save civilians and take care of this bitch......"
".......i'll kill every shuuki here."
"Hehe. Hahahahahah. I wonder, is this how Kyouka feels with Buddy. Being able to trust someone to this degree."
"Thanks, Mira. Now then.....try to keep up."
As Nagisa said this, he put all of his strength into his legs. Before Kuusetsu could attack, a large boom was heard as Nagisa was already dashing to the city. While Nagisa looked straight ahead, he noticed his Mira's clones were evacuating the people as several shuuki were seen swarming the streets.
"Water Breathing, Ninth Form:Splashing Water Flow!!!!"
Nagisa rushed around the shuuki and discombobulates them in multiple circles reminiscent of vortex-like water. Subsequently he leapt over the shuuki and delivered an overhead slash upon the creatures in a manner that was similar to being crushed by waves as he cut off their heads.
"Nagi!!!!"
When Nagisa heard someone calling him, he saw a few of Mira's clones running away with a few children. Right behind them was a giant shuuki that was the size of two busses put together. Just as the shuuki lifts both of its arms, it was shocked to see its arms were already cut off.
"Water Breathing, Fourth Form:Striking Tide!!!!"
The moment Nagisa leapt at the giant shuuki, the boy performed a multitude of slashes in a flowing fashion to release multiple consecutive slashes. Just as Nagisa landed on the ground, the shuuki's body was no more than diced pieces of flesh upon the ground. However as he looked upwards, he saw an even larger shuuki in front of a building.
Just before the shuuki could fire its attack, one of Mira's clones hit the side of its face with her knee. Seconds after that, both Nagisa and Kyouka were seen leaping into the air as the both of them managed to cut off the head of the giant shuuki. Currently, Kyouka and Nagisa were standing side by side on the roof of a building as Nagisa tried to explain the situation.
"I guess you saw the commotion after your check up was done. I've cleared out most of the shuuki, so you head to Yuuki and join the battle too. The God of Thunder is at Rinko Park with the real Mira."
"I got it, be careful, Nagisa."
~Meanwhile~
"Woah....you're really saving them all. Not to mention that boy killed over half the shuuki I brought and it's only been a few minutes."
To say Kuusetsu was impressed was an understatement. She never expected the shuuki she brought to be killed off that fast. They were even stronger than the normal shuuki you would see appear in Mato. Yet Nagisa was killing them left and right as if it was child's play. As for Mira, she couldn't help but smile even though she was extremely exhausted from pushing her ability to this extent.
"Thanks, Nagisa. You really are a monster, you know that. I'm glad you're on our side."
"See you! Next time we meet, it'll be divine punishment time."
"Pffft. A god turning tail and leaving? What an ugly bitch you are! Ahahahah."
Just as Kuusetsu prepared to let the punch slide off of her face, she realized the attack was just a feint the moment Mira had actually kicked her in the gut. Suddenly two projectiles were seen flying towards Mira. The moment she caught them, the chief noticed that they were some of Kuusetsu's feathers. Shortly afterwards, Kuusetsu kicked the chief away from her as she launched several feathers at Mira in order to shoot her down as she fell.
"Come on, Mira! If a guy with no powers can pull his weight then so can you! Squeeze out all your strength!!!!"
"Humans can bring out strength we could never expect depending on how their emotions fluctuate."
Kuusetsu began to recall the words Shikoku spoke to her. Just as Mira landed her attack, she grabbed a hold of Kuusetsu's face as the two of them were falling down. Just seconds before her body could hit the ground, Kuusetsu spun her body as she landed on her feet. Now wasn't the time for her to play games.
Suddenly Mira jumped away from Kuusetsu as she sensed a huge surge of power escaping from the god of thunder. When she looked at Kuusetsu, she noticed how her body had changed. Her hair became longer and unkempt, her eyes turn black and her crown of horns recedes, being replaced by two large horns on her forehead.
"Some of her clones that helped evacuate humans came back. But it doesn't matter, my strength is on another level!!"
The moment they got close, two of Mira's clones disappeared the moment Kuusetsu managed to strike them in the gut. Seconds after, Mira was right in front of her ready to throw her punch. Just as Kuusetsu was about to make her body slippery again, she was quickly trapped in a flurry of punches by the chief.
"She's punching so fast, I don't have time to make myself slippery. But this isn't enough to stop a god!"
As Mira landed a punch on her face, Kuusetsu swiftly punched the chief away from her. Just as she did this, she saw another clone heading for her. However, she showed no interest in the clone as she flew towards the Mira she just punched away. The moment she reached her, she slammed her foot through Mira's torso as an enormous crater formed underneath her.
The moment she realized this, it was too late. Both the real Mira and her clone gathered all the strength that they could as they each slammed their fists into Kuusetsu's chest and back respectively. The attacks were so hard it felt as if they managed to damage Kuusetsu's core. For a brief moment, the god of thunder didn't move as Mira's clones disappeared. Suddenly the life in Kuusetsu's eyes returned as she kicked Mira through a wall.
"If you had way more clones, you probably would've taken the life of a god. But you used too much strength to save people alongside Nagisa. I guess this is the price you have to pay. You were ready for this to happen, right?"
"No way, god. To save everyone and defeat you....THAT'S WHAT I WAS READY FOR!"
"................. Kuusetsu."
~A few minutes later~
Nagisa was seen dashing to Rinko Park as fast as he could. Various limbs of shuuki and blood scattering everywhere as he was cutting apart any shuuki that got in his way. After making sure the civilians were safe and killing all the shuuki that were in the city, he rushed to make sure he could regroup with Mira.
The moment he reached the park, he noticed how Yuuki and Kyouka made it to the area too. Right now, they were staring in horror. As Nagisa's eyes followed their gaze, he couldn't believe what he was witnessing as the grip on his sword grew even tighter. Right before his eyes, the worse possible situation was happening.
"M.......Mira?"
