Chapter 1755 Three Winged Angel Dungeon -Part 23
"Moment of truth!" Jin shouted as he slammed his swords into Number Four's and the backlash from the impact was incredible.
"Hmmph. You and your weapon can withstand me, but for how long?" The swords continued their dance and if not for Yamata no Orochi's speed and its snake style, Jin would not be able to fight on par with Number Four. Even with the use of Maqi, the difference it made was minimal.
Not to mention, with each hit, the System's rider armour was getting chipped off and there was nothing that could be done to repair it since it was not the original Living Metal that Jin used in his own world. In addition to that, the internal damage that Jin received started to take its toll when his adrenaline was over.
The pain worms had begun to heal its way through it and Jin had to ignore the pain to continue swinging his arms and deflecting every hit that came his way. Do not even think about offence since all Jin could think was his ability to defend and there was no time to even care for Old Flammet.
Speaking of Old Flammet, he was also having an even match with Gerrad. As much as he felt awful for betraying his friend's wishes and allowing him to live, he finally decided to correct that mistake and with his life if there was a need to.
The Enhanced Mechanoid Armour that he wore had increased his size and fighting power but even bullet he shot out, Gerrad was able to deflect or cut them down. Even the laser sword that he had prepared was not able to cut through the sword that Gerrad was using. Yet for some reason, his power output had been consistently full for the past few minutes, making Flammet think that his power meter was spoil or something but it was precisely because of this, Flammet was holding it on longer than expected in this first Enhanced Mechanoid Armour which he thought would have exploded by now.
"Must be Jin's doing…" Old Flammet thought as he heard the loud clashes behind him knowing that Jin was performing his best to avoid being killed.
"I had enough of playing. Let's end this right now." Number Four said as she kicked him away when he got the chance and suddenly her blades shone red in a matter of seconds.
"You think I am going to go down just like that?! ZERU!" Jin shouted, hoping that at the very least his master would answer and not be like Milk who had been busy occupying herself in the celestial plane to find his 'corpse'.
"A form change would not do you any different" Number Four said as she took a deep breath in and charged through at the speed of sound.
"The fact that you did not move at the speed of light made you an inferior swordslady," The demigorgon blade changed and formed into a katana and it was holding onto the red lit blades that Number Four held. That was when the enemy felt that Jin had suddenly changed into another person and she moved backward to analyse.
"You are just in time, Master!" Jin said as he laid back in his sub sub consciousness.
"This sword that you have… it's awfully light. Even lighter than Bam and Boo. Could be comparable with my old blade too." Zeru said as he saw the demigorgon eye moving up and down the Katana blade as if it was happy to be of use. "In any case, the System was preparing me to come in a few minutes ago plus I got the data on her. She is no doubt a formidable foe but I believe even with my reduced state, I should be able to handle her."
The System Rider turned a little more ronin style with a black hakama (shirt) with the living metal armour within the hakama and even had a cloth mantle covering it. Number Four hissed at Zeru but the latter ignored her as he went into his iai stance waiting for her to come near him… she took the bait, thinking that she was still the superior one.
But the more she charged into him, the more she felt that she might be wrong. It was as if the predator had turned into the prey once more. However, Number Four was still confident enough to move in to show her strength.
"White Lotus Blossom," Zeru said as his speed exceeded hers in a split second that she never knew what came through, causing her to lose her sword arm in less than a blink of an eye. As the blood spewed around the wasteland and her blade was on the floor along with her arm, she looked at him with vengeance.
As soon as she screamed, the arm grew back again, and below her dress came out another blade for her to hold which Zeru contemplated for a moment. "Looks like she needs to lose more than a pair of arms." He held the demigorgon straight to her face and walked towards her.
Number Four was shocked and felt that this was still not the end. If she could see that technique one more time, she might be able to escape …it.
Blood subsequently spews from her neck as Zeru puts his blade back into the scabbard and Number Four quickly tries to stop herself from choking on her own blood.
"You are not going to get away from this." Number Four mumbled as she tried to breathe normally but the more she moved, the more cuts she had and soon the whole floor had been painted red. It was then, she did not understand what was happening exactly.
Why was she not regenerating and she kept getting more cuts around her when the person in front of her had already placed his blade within the scabbard? "Transdimension Slashes.." Zeru whispered as he walked away to aid Old Flammet and Number Four still continued to comprehend what had happened.
The more she struggled, the cuts became deeper and soon she decided not to move and die due to the ever going blood loss. Regardless of her regeneration, she eventually died out causing Gerrad to be the only one left.
"If you finished your sentence, she might have gotten out of it," Jin said and Zeru laughed.
"That's why I did not. If she understood my technique, I would be in deep trouble since your current cultivation strength and power do not withstand my other techniques. And this is already the water downed version. In any case, I have to leave. It looks like your body cannot take it anymore. But as a reunion gift, I will just do this one slash again."
Zeru said as he returned to his iai stance and this time he focused on Gerrad. "White Lotus Blossom- Extended." A technique that should have just been Point A to Point B, it became Point A to Point Z. Gerrad did not see it coming and his sword arm broke just as how Number Four lost hers.
It was then Zeru left, allowing Jin and Old Flammet to finish the job.
