Chapter 21: Massacre III
Ryuusei's body burned with pain. His abilities, when used all at once, had left him vulnerable. His vision blurred for an instant. His breathing was erratic. Entropy consumed his body, his regeneration could not keep pace with the wounds that accumulated.
And they noticed it.
Kenta was the first to react. With a roar of fury, he crossed the battlefield with his Eclipse Twin Scythes, slicing through the air with a deadly hiss. Ryuusei barely managed to lift one of his daggers to block, but his arm was not strong enough. The scythe pierced his fender and sank into his thigh.
"AHHH! Ryuusei screamed in pain as his blood gushed out.
But there was no time to recover.
Daichi lunged with his Spear of Judgment, aiming directly at his chest. Ryuusei barely leaned to one side, but the spear ripped through his side, opening a deep slash. The pain made him stagger, and at that instant, Haru shot an arrow with surgical precision.
"Die at once!" Haru shouted.
The arrow stabbed Ryuusei's shoulder, piercing muscle and bone. His right arm fell inert. I couldn't move it.
But it would not end there.
Kenta turned around and with a brutal slash severed Ryuusei's left forearm.
Ryususei's cry of agony echoed throughout the street as his arm fell to the ground with a thud, surrounded by a pool of blood.
Haru fired another arrow, this time at his knee. The impact caused Ryuusei to fall to the ground violently, spitting blood.
"It's over, Ryuusei!" Daichi growled, raising his spear to deliver the final blow.
But then, a black flash.
Aiko appeared among them in the blink of an eye. His Black Herald sword intercepted Daichi's spear, deflecting it with a metallic boom.
"Don't touch him anymore!" he roared, with a fury that made the ground tremble.
He crouched down beside Ryuusei, his eyes alight with anger and despair. Her partner was on the verge of death, and she wouldn't allow it.
"They don't understand," he whispered with a crooked smile. They haven't seen anything yet.
With a fierce scream, Aiko unleashed her true power.
The battle was not over yet.
