Chapter 124 - 124: The Other World [Part 2]. (2/2)

They had barely gotten away.

But that fact didn't so much as pass Gray's mind. His pupils were dilated as he was invested in the surroundings.

It was dark, there were two moons out. Beneath him was a large jungle which stretched as far as the eye could see behind him.

Ahead of him however, the jungle was cut off by a vast wide ocean in the far distance.

To the far left, Gray could see large walls which separated the jungle from whatever was on the other side. It was too far for Gray to tell what exactly was inside, but he could see lights.

It seemed to be a port of sorts as there were countless fleets just ahead of it.

The fleets were levitating countless meters above the water.

Even more fleets could be seen levitating in the air above the city.

”We made it...” He said.

The girl's eyes had also widened as she inspected the surroundings.

”...But where... Exactly are we...?” She asked.

Gray looked around once more.

”Not just us... Where is everyone... Wait- Before that... Who are you?” Gray asked as he turned to her.

Smooth pale skin, long silver hair, golden irises with a slender jawline.

She wore the black uniform which belonged to the fallen angel opposition corps and carried two katanas on her waist along with an extra one on her back.

Gray could feel it, she was strong.

”I'm-”

Without bothering to finish her sentence, she glanced down with an annoyed look before instantly drawing her katanas.

Beneath them, once again they could see the wide-opened fang-filled mouth of the giant Cobra as it had lunged at them.

The snake was insanely fast. Even though she believed in her reaction speed, she still wasn't sure whether or not she would make it.

To her surprise however, the snake suddenly froze in place as it came into contact with a spherical field which had been deployed around them out of nowhere.

As if it was her one and only chance, she was about to swing her flaming swords at it.

Contrary to her expectations, before she could complete the swing, her sword froze in the spot.

”Careful, you could start a forest fire.” Said Gray as he pulled out the katana from her back.

'When did he!?'

”How did you-”

Before she could ask, Gray leapt off the platform straight at the giant cobra.

*Slash*

Passing by it's eyes, he swung the katana, slicing right across it.

He paused another platform ahead of himself before landing directly onto it.

The muscles on Gray's legs and arms bulged out as he tried thrusting the sword into it's scaley neck. However, it just wouldn't penetrate.

Seeing this, he leapt across the top of it's head over to the other side.

As he was just ahead of it's other eyes, he thrust the Katana into the middle of its slit pupiled eyes and caught himself with another platform which he created ahead of himself.

*Stab*

The girl watched as Gray made his way over to the front, attacking the defenceless snake inside of it's mouth as he thrust and slashed the sword all around.

[Timer on pause ending in 3]

Gray leapt out of it's mouth before heading back onto the platform where she had been standing.

[Unpause.]
