Return of the Fallen Volume 10 Chapter 69
The happy atmosphere was broken on the spot as Alutra alerted everyone.
“Nephew.”
Kazuki was already aware.
“I know, I sense them too.”
Kazuki looked over at Lamia as she was nervous.
“Come or don’t but what you mustn’t do is hesitate.”
Kazuki said nothing more before a rift opened in front of him. He Alutra and Detra stepped through immediately followed by everyone else.
—————————————————————————-
Deep within the fabric of space, a tear in the Realm formed and 5 figures appeared before the tear slowly began to close. One of these creatures sniffed the cosmos and spoke excitedly.
(Master, it’s here, it’s definitely here! This energy is Divine and holds the key for you.)
These thoughts had just fallen when a rift appeared before these five and outstepped Kazuki, Alutra, Detra, and the rest.
The five figures did not care about Kazuki or anyone else for that matter. The only person to catch their eyes was Alutra.
(Master, she’s!
A large shadowy figure swooped forward. Its body seemed to be made of green smoke with a pair of purple eyes and nothing more. This smoke-like creature floated almost lazily to the front. It pointed at Alutra and its thoughts entered everyone’s mind all at once.
(I wondered how a Demigod had been slain and now it makes sense. Woman, it had to have been you who dropped the blade and killed the Demigod. Since I am here you must know why we have come. Give me that treasured corpse and…
The smoke-like creature’s words paused for a moment before its eyes landed on something resting on Alutra’s shoulder.
(No, not just the corpse, I also want that creature. Give them to me and we will leave. Don’t and you will all die.)
Everyone’s eyes fell on Alutra’s shoulder and even Alutra’s was taken aback as they saw the little red and black furball resting there. Both Alutra and Kazuki exchanged a look of confusion. The two of them had the best senses out of everyone in this Lower Realm yet neither knew when or how the little creature had appeared there.
Now though was not the time for that. These invaders had assumed it was Alutra who had killed Fera but this in itself gave Kazuki caution.
He spoke directly to Alutra and the rest of his friends only.
(Be careful. Something isn’t right. They know Alutra is a Demigod but they show no fear or weakness. They must have a reason for such confidence, be on your guard.)
Alutra grabbed the tiny furball and held it close to her to protect it. At the same time, her normally playful attitude flipped the moment the smokey creature threatened to take her little ball of fur. Even though she was communicating through the mind, her cold murderous tone was easily detected.
(You, a third-rate little bitch who’s not yet taken a step into Godhood. You dare act so cocky in front of me. I’ll tell you this here and now. Get the fuck out of this Realm before I rip you apart and scatter your smoke ruined remains across the ever-expanding void.)
The smoke creature didn’t bat an eye to these threats.
Instead, a humanoid-looking rat sniffed at its surrounding space once more and spoke, while pointing at Kazuki’s storage ring.
(Master, that one doesn’t even have the corpse. The divine energy I smell is coming from that brat’s ring over there. Not only that besides the woman and the little monkey, nothing else has Divine energy.)
The smoke figure leading them all took one look at Kazuki and its confidence rose.
A small flash of light sparked into existence and a weapon appeared around the smoke creature. The weapon was bright red. It was a large metallic-looking ring the size of a man. Around the ring were several blades jutting out of the ring. The moment it appeared Alutra became serious and she immediately drew her own weapon. Before she warned.
(Shit he has a Divine Soul weapon. Do not get cut by that blade no matter what otherwise your soul will perish on the spot!)
Everyone became alarmed hearing this and they all prepared to fight for their life. Lamia was still afraid but Nunully, Asuna, Tsura, and Mei all surrounded her. Red and blue scales grew out and covered Asuna and Nunully instantly and everyone prepared to fight.
The smoke creature looked over everyone and only felt as if Alutra was the threat.
(You may be a Demigod but in a Lower Realm, your abilities and strength are limited. If I were to use magic this Realm would be torn apart so your advantage there serves you no purpose. In the end, it will come down to who is more skilled with their Divine Soul weapons.)
After the smoke creature said this, a strange silence came over them all. Space was already quiet but with no one communicating, it filled the void of space with even more silence. Even though the smoke creature and his allies were outnumbered, not a single one of them showed an ounce of fear.
The ring of blades began to spin. At first slowly but after every rotation, every spin, the ring got faster, and with it, so to did the blades attached to it. The tension was palpable and one could almost feel their skin crawl.
The ring finally reached such a speed that it began to turn invisible. It was at this moment that everyone understood they made a mistake.
(SHIT!)
Alutra appeared in front of Kazuki almost instantaneously and her blade swung directly above his head with an upward slash.
*BANG!*
Even in the recesses of space, a loud sound echoed out as Alutra’s blade connected with the spinning ring of death.
The smoke creature’s plan was simple enough. Kill Kazuki on the opening move and stela his storage ring.
Alutra was planning on screaming at Kazuki about his incompetence but Kazuki was no longer there. As a matter of act, he had moved the moment the ring of death was above him and there was actually no need to protect him.
Kazuki activated the ki inside his body, along with the power of space using his aura, along with aura strengthening, fire, ice, gravity, and aura. A rift appeared directly behind the smoke creature and Kazuki had already stepped out of it and attacked him with these combined forces.
The smoke creature was surprised but he held no worries when it came to magic. His only thoughts were on the aura along with a counter. At the same time, the smoke creature’s allies had already rushed forward to face everyone else.
Kazuki surrounded the smoke creature with gravity and tried to slow it down with his magic but his magic had no effect and simply passed through the creature. The smoke sent his ring of death flying at Kazuki through its own body.
Kazuki had already been warned about the blade’s lethality and defended himself with his magic and aura but to no one’s surprise, the creature’s weapon cut through all of his magic and even started to cut through his barrier of aura, sending a sharp pain into the depth of his soul world.
(Nephew, you can’t defend against a Divine Soul weapon with anything other than another Divine soul weapon.)
Alutra raced ahead and her blade slammed into the ring of death, knocking it backward.
Kazuki nodded and vanished from the spot and Alutra took his place. He immediately appeared behind the rat-like creature and tried to send out a piercing blade of aura to destroy his soul immediately but the rat could smell this attack coming and disappeared. It had a great ability to camouflage itself. A blade came stabbing from behind Kazuki and struck him. However, the moment it did, the blade exploded into tiny pieces as it broke upon contact with Kauzki’s tough body.
Kazuki immediately turned around and grabbed something from the void.
(Caught you!)
He put some strength into his hand and squeezed and the sound of something breaking was felt. The rat-like creature reappeared and screamed silently into space before Kazuki sent his aura directly into the little imp, destroying its soul right then and there. The sneaky rat was no more.
Things continued from there. The enemies tried to aim for the women first, thinking they would be the weakest and easiest targets but that line of thinking only led to their destruction far swifter. They tried to cut apart Asuna and Nunuly but their scales were nearly as strong as Kazuki’s body. The two grabbed one of these enemies before opening their mouths and breathing out fire and ice upon this fool.
The opponent was turned into a half-burnt half-frozen popsicle. Asuna and Nunully gripped this frozen burnt enemy together in a bear hug and broke him into two different pieces.
Another enemy that aimed for Mei because of her size instantly regretted it as Mei’s head warped into her Mangshi form and she opened her mouth wide before slamming her jaws shut, severing this opponent into a few different parts.
She immediately spit this creature out and felt the taste was beyond nasty before Tsura’s arm turned into a large wing and she sent out hundreds of sharp metallic feathers that pierced into the remains of this enemy turning them into a porcupine.
While this was happening, the smoke creature was fighting Alutra without a care in the world for its comrade’s deaths. A strange smile lingered on its face.
