Chapter 39: Seperated from The Gun
[AN- You can Imagine the Curse as Undine from Dungeon Meshi, Image here]

*PSSHT* *PSSHT* *PSSHT* *PSSHT* *PSSHT* *PSSHT*
Several water jets were shot out from its rings chasing after Gensui who was distracting it for Mei Mei to *BAAM* Slam her Axe on the Water Ball Curse only for it to be easily split and lose the two rings surrounding its body in an X formation by getting absorbed into its body and run away from Mei Mei at a very high speed.
"So it looks like the rings have two purposes" Mei Mei muttered.
"One for healing and another for attacking, Whenever it attacks, it slowly loses water in its rings, and when both rings are gone, it stops for a few seconds", Gensui said.
"But it regenerates too fast," Mei Mei said, looking at the two rings come back yet again, almost as if they had never vanished.
"You can't get too close to it without getting holes in yourself and when you do deal damage it runs away far from you" Mei Mei continued.
"If only Uiui were here everything would have been so easy..... honestly Gensui-Kun you truly are bad luck, You've been on two official missions including this one, and each one has been more annoying than the last" Mei Mei said.
"How about instead of taking jabs at me you find a way to defeat it huh?" Gensui asked making Meimei chuckle, "You say that but you already found a way to beat this guy haven't you?"
Gensui upon hearing this lost the smile on his face and looked blank, "It scary that you know that"
"Anyway," Mei Mei said blocking a water jet come her way. Deflecting it with her axe and hopping away from it.
"Right, as far as we have seen, this curse is made up of water and so the easiest way to beat it is to take it down in one go, but neither of us has big moves that can defeat it and Bird strike isn't all that viable right now and so," Gensui said his smile reignited on his face as he continued.
"I'll explode so many grenades on this motherfuckers face that it'll have no choice but to die"
"You.... Ah, I should have recorded this fight shouldn't I?" Mei Mei spoke with regret.
"But oh well, that's a solid plan," Mei Mei said, quickly running in a single direction. She sent her crows in flocks towards the Curse, who were easily obliterated by sweeping jets of water, tearing each bird into multiple pieces.
Meanwhile, Gensui stayed in the back providing cover fire for Mei Mei as he started creating Grenades as well as a certain lance he used in his last Mission.

"Wait... A Domain! Seriously? Won't that mean that we are already dead? We can't tank Guarantee hitting strikes from a probably Grade One or special grade curse" Maki yelled out as sweat broke out of every single pore of her, of course, the others weren't all that good as well.
Toge was also panicked looking around with caution, sweat also dripping from his forehead and Panda had already switched to his brother.
"HieehiehiHEHIihehiHEIheiheiiEHIhiehihiehiHEIEhi" Creepy laughter continued to boom out from all sides of the trio as they couldn't point where the laughter was coming from but something was for certain.
*Thud*
They could hear footsteps.
*Thud* *Thud* *Thud*
Approaching.
*Thud* *Thud* *Thud* *Thud* *Thud* *Thud* *Thud* *Thud*
FAST!
With the Giant axe swinging from side to side every couple of seconds the hair of the Three were thrown into disarray, becoming haggard and haggard with every passing swing as even the sweat on their forehead was being blown away but they couldn't care less about their appearance as all three were focused on the approaching figure from beyond the trench.
'Ah... I feel it again' Maki suddenly thought.
'The air pressure, temperature, sounds, smell, taste, the view..... it's an annoying sensation..... it feels as if I have the world's tastiest cake to eat but the only thing I can do is lick it once by the tip of my tongue, something keeping that cake locked away from me, an impossibly big lock, but I don't care..... even the single lick is enough for me' Maki thought as she changed the grip of her Nagitana with it now settling easier in her hand.
'If I just go further.....'
However, she wasn't able to continue this thought as in just a second--
*BAAAM*
She was kicked in the back and sent flying towards the swinging axe.
Toge and Panda who saw Maki who was standing right between them get kicked away, replaced by the figure of the curse kicking her away from them didn't hesitate for a second as Toge immediately jumped into action yelling out, [BOW DOWN].
This caused both Panda and the Curse to fall to the floor, however, this was something that both had practiced while falling,
Panda instead of merely bowing down brought out his arm and struck the bowing Curse which was also bowing down causing it to do a faceplant onto the ground.
And not even giving the curse a second to recover Toge once again yelled, [FALL]
The now Falling Panda used both of his arms to hit the Curse on the back burying its body into the ground.
"ITS NOT OVER YET YOU KNOW!" PANDA YELLED OUT.
*BAAAM*
[UNBLOCKABLE DRUMMING BEAT]
Continuing to pummel the Curse further into the ground.
*BAAAM* *BAAAM* *BAAAM* *BAAAM* *BAAAM* *BAAAM* *BAAAM* *BAAAM* *BAAAM* *BAAAM* *BAAAM* *BAAAM* *BAAAM*
*Huff* *Huff*
Panda paused and reverted to his Panda form as he Panted slightly, It had already taken plenty of his energy to move his body under Toge's voice commands and now using [UNBLOCKABLE DRUMMING BEAT] for nearly a dozen hits had gotten him somewhat tired.
"Takana?" Toge asked.
"Yeah... huff.... I think I got him" Panda said with a smile as he felt a person standing behind him.
"Oh, Maki you're back-?!" However what he saw was making the very curse that he had been smashing into the ground, completely unscathed, it had a long and large set of teeth, completely white looking like a shark's teeth rather than a humans rather than a curse's for that matter, and its face and body were completely white and had a red nose much like one of the clowns and was wearing rags in the name of clothes.
The two couldn't say even a word as both were kicked towards the Axe...
