74 Pride and Resentmen (2/2)
”No... Your attacks are just plain weak. That's all.
”GAH GAH GAH! NOW WE'RE TALKING!!...”
The hundred-hand statues continued the barrage of melee attacks directly at the girl while the Gorgon, standing half a kilometer away started to charge itself howling towards nature with an eerie cry to give her power, and then as if it heard its call, giant trees, thrice the size of the previous ones began to spurt quickly from the ground, and in the trees were these green luminous specks of lights of which the Gorgon started to compress in her mouth. The compressed green lights then began to take shape as a spheroid of emerald-green.
The spheroid in the Gorgon's mouth then compressed to form a much larger state as it finished charging up energy from the surrounding newly-disgorged tree giants.
But the charge was far from its fruition while Kurenai and Shiro continuously take superfluous zero damage from the wooden statues in pursuits. Five layers of magic circles then appeared in front of it and it was so, that the spheroid then slowly began to pass by the five magical circles. First layer, it became dark green... Second layer, it became twice the size... Third layer, thrice the size and so on until it reached the fifth and final layer and it became five times its original size...
”YOU BETTER BE READY! IF I CAN'T EVEN INFLICT WOUNDS THEN WHY NOT BLOW YOU UP WHOLE? EURYALE! FIVE-LAYER NATURAL FULMINATION! ”
”Hmm...Insolent.”
The spheroid launched from the Gorgon's grotesque-looking mouth towards the same spot where the little girl is still standing. who, as of now, have no intentions of dodging or whatsoever.
It then detonated right in the face of the bloody butterfly in a way that incinerated half of the statues, ... A seemingly familiar scene back on Earth in its territorial wars.
The explosion then subsided wiping almost half of the wooden armies in pursuits, leaving this incinerated view of the point of impact, and set adrift in the air was the blood-winged girl whose lower half has been entirely blown off, but without even a single drop of blood spilling to the ground. It's as if they both were two souls conjoined in an empty doll whose blood will stay clandestine as willed...
The hero, seeing the aftermath and the drifting body-half while the other half was blown to dust, a halcyon sign of him inflicting damage to such a creature, reveled in magnificence and his fathomless conceit, but literally as if its ashes were too corrected to be one with the ground once again, it began to rise up in the air in a split minute forming the little girl's anatomy. It's healing in its best resentment to never submit to pride.
”TSK! IT DID NOT EVEN WORK!”
”Are you done?” she asked, and the hero, seeing the ineffectiveness of his incursion ceased, gritting his teeth as the look of arrogance begins to depart from him.
”Then it's my turn now.”
The bloody butterfly then took a tight hold of her lengthy cardinal scythe and got into the stance of someone who is about to display a unique prowess.
With one slash of the girl's scythe, gushed forth a red-colored wave and with it, all of the remaining tree statues in 360-degree radius were slashed down without falters and not only them but as well as the Gorgon and every tree in the surrounding landscape. Some of the mountains standing afar were even hacked down like its nothing, re-altering the ever-changing landscape. From the deep sinister forest to a little arena, and to now, a perfect environment for major conflicts to rise.
But the Gorgon, given its immortality from the Synthesized Angel herself does not intend to die an insignificant death from that single slash.
”EURYALE!” the hero shouted, and the Gorgon healed, but the difference in regeneration is very apparent.
”Oh right... You're immortal.” Kurenai exclaimed.
”GAH GAH GAH! DON'T ACT LIKE YOU DON'T KNOW A THING! WE KNOW THAT IT WAS YOU WHO BLESSED IT FOR YOU TO ESCAPE... FUNNY TO THINK NOW ISN'T IT? THAT THE MONSTER YOU EXPLOITED FOR YOU TO RUNOFF IS THE VERY SAME TOOL THAT I'LL USE TO RECAPTURE YOU..”
”I will not deny the allegation that it was I who made her seem immortal, and yes... I am the one.”
”GAH GAH GAH! SUCH HONESTY! THAT'S WHY ALL OF YOU AND YOUR SYNTHESIZED ANGEL FRIENDS ARE UTILIZED LIKE LIVESTOCK!”
”Hmmm... I see. Then should I reclaim its immortality then?
”WHAT?”
”Time for you to say goodbye to your pride, hero... Shiro-san. Let's do this okay? After that, we will go get oni-Chama.”
”Wakatta! Kurenai Onee-chan.” (English: Got it! Big sister Kurenai!) Shiro responded.
