Chapter 112 - #111 Death Tagool (1/2)

----The Capital, Phoenix's Mansion----

'Was this decision of mine really alright? What if something happens to her?' Ichika's gentle smile disappeared and was replaced by a worried expression when Kurome stormed out of the office.

'...I will just have to bear consequences once the young lord comes back. Anyway, judging from her earlier expression, it was apparent that she would go even if I didn't bring it up or even if I have forbidden it. Not like I could have forbidden it since Akashi gave his approval of her acting independently.' Ichika released a helpless smile when she thought that she didn't have much of a choice. She could also offer her help and she wanted to but she was aware that there was simply too much paperwork and even if she could leave it to Akashi's father, she was aware that her existence was still mysterious or unknown. It would be better if she stayed in the shadows so she could be of a better use for Akashi.

----(Akashi's POV)----

*ROOOAR!!!*

While on my way back to the capital, I decided to take a little detour because I was informed by Mera just before I left their hideout that there are extremely strong Danger Beasts in this area however I didn't expect to find such a masterpiece here.

”This one must be at least around Super Class...this is simply awesome” I muttered while jumping a few meters away to dodge one of its punches.

*BANG!!!* The punch didn't found its target however upon the impact with the ground, the entire ground shook and numerous debris flew around.

I am definitely not stronger than that beast when it comes to raw strength power, at least I am much quicker but there is something unsettling...I have absolutely no problem dodging its relatively fast attacks, however even Kurome would have no problem dodging them...Could it be?!

I thought before an idea struck me and I widened my eyes.

*ROAR!!!* The beast opened its mouth and started gathering some kind of black energy in its mouth and next second, the beam of black energy attacked me but thanks to me figuring it out before actually seeing the attack, I was able to dodge within time.

*BOOOM!*

The terrain where I stood and behind was completely destroyed and any trees or boulders were completely destroyed, there was even numerous big holes in the ground.

Such destructive power...Even I wouldn't be able to do it unless I would spend all of my energy.

I thought and became warier of this Danger Beast.

”Wait, aren't you Death Tagool? I thought that you are a bit too similar to that species” I muttered with a slightly surprised expression before I smiled.

It looks exactly like Death Tagool, a giant dinosaur-like Danger Beast. Even its ability to use energy as a form of attack is the same.

*ROOAR!* It evidently became enraged when it was me successfully dodging its attack and then just standing in front of it without fleeing or fearing for my life. It threw another punch at me, trying to make mincemeat out of me so I quickly jumped to the side, narrowly dodging its attack and then drew my sword without wasting any time while still in the air after dodging it.

I let my sword drink my blood and instantly sent a slash of crimson energy at its hand while also summoning 4 broadswords to attack its head.

My attack successfully landed and blood spurted out of its hand but the wound itself was pretty shallow at least when I take into consideration its size and how much blood it has in its entire body. As for my 4 summoned broadswords that attacked its head...the moment they got into contact with its head, they were instantly repelled away.

Just a superficial wound, huh? It is even intelligent to a certain level...It actually closed its eyes just to prevent those broadswords from hurting its eyesight and when they failed in their attack, it used its other hand to repel them.

I thought while I was still falling down from my previous dodging of its attack. I had to jump to the side and up to summon those broadswords much closer to its head but despite this, I still failed to injure its head.

It's quick to counter-attack...

I thought while narrowing my eyes and using my energy to form wings of flames on my back to maneuver in the air and dodging its fist by a hair's breadth.

[Energy: 1370/1515]

I am still not used to summoning them in such crucial situations so the consumption of energy is very high and maintenance will be costly too. I didn't want to damage materials too much but let's try it out.

I thought with furrowed brows and I flew high in the sky even above its head.

The beast raised its head while angrily roaring at me as if telling me 'come down ant!'. I just looked down at it with a cold smile and raised my hand, pointing at the sky above me.
