556 Two strange and powerful individuals… (2/2)
”Why?”
”Because there might be a fight.”
”I can fight as well,” Mika said seriously.
”I know, but you still don't have any experience fighting against other people.”
”Not long ago, I also didn't have any experience fighting against giant monsters…”
”This is different.”
”Why is it different?”
”Monsters are monsters, while humans are humans,” Seiji told her. ”Can you treat humans the same as you do monsters?”
Mika fell silent.
”…Another thing is, I'd like to keep an ace card up my sleeve.” Seiji looked at her. ”If there really is a conflict between me and these other people, and I need assistance, I'll shout for you to come. I'll be relying on you.”
Something flashed in Mika's eyes upon hearing this.
The two of them headed in the direction of the sounds.
When they got closer, Seiji indicated for Mika to stop and wait while he cautiously edged closer.
Then, he witnessed a dog-head person and a cow-head person fighting together against a giant turtle monster!
More accurately speaking, these two individuals were a female Spiritual Ability user who wore a dog-head mask and pitch-black Sakura Island style combat clothing, and a male Spiritual Ability user who wore a cow head mask and gray combat clothing in an identical style. The girl wielded a blue spiritual sword, while the boy wielded a red spiritual sword. They were currently fighting against a large sea turtle-like monster with strange plants growing out of its back.
A dog, cow, and turtle… this scene was rather abnormal.
Seiji silently observed from a distance.
Although he really wanted to comment on the masks that these two were wearing, they showed off incredible power. They were able to completely dodge the large turtle's attacks, and any attacks that they didn't dodge were easily parried by their swords. As they whirled around, they took advantage of every opening to slice the turtle monster. Not only that, the girl took one side while the boy took the other side, and they attacked simultaneously from both sides of the giant monster.
Seiji watched for a while and felt that rather than a battle, this seemed more like a dance, or even a game.
Two strange and powerful individuals… That was the conclusion he came to from his observation. He silently backed away.
Seiji returned to Mika and told her what he just witnessed.
”I think it's best not to come into contact with them. Let's take another path.”
”Okay.”
Seiji and Mika returned to a previous area and took a different fork in the path.
Not long after, they heard a low roar. The sounds of fighting then stopped.
”They killed off that powerful monster… let's hurry.”
The two of them increased their speed.
Yet, just a minute later, they heard sounds speedily approaching!
Seiji and Mika turned around and saw the dog-head girl and cow-head boy approach with an astonishing speed!!
This scene seemed mysteriously pressuring.
”Seiji…” Mika was quite nervous.
So fast!
Seiji was just considering whether to run away at full speed when he saw the two individuals suddenly speed up and instantly caught up to them!
”Mi… Sixth Knight, behind me!”
He almost reflexively said Mika's real name out loud and hurriedly changed to use her code name instead.
He stood still and brought out his sword and shield to carefully protect her as he faced off against these strange individuals.
The dog-head mask girl stood on the left while the cow-head mask boy stood on the right. They looked at the handsome boy and silver-haired beautiful girl.
