Chapter 29: The three wives meet. (1/2)

”Thank you, master,” Mizuki said gratefully.

”Foolish disciple, you come to these foreign lands, and the first thing you do is fight without knowing the enemy? I'm disappointed! Did you forget what I taught you!?” The old man ignored Mizuki's thanks and began to lecture her.

”Ugh,” Mizuki put a hand to her ear and tried to ignore her master's words, but unfortunately, she could hear the master's sermon in her mind.

Kaguya looked at the old man trying to find some characteristic that would let her recognize him as a historical figure. She knows that spirits are heroes who have fought and fallen in the past, and through magic, they can be summoned. She also knows that this is a technique of invocation that was lost a long time ago.

Seeing the pentagram symbol on the fan in the old man's hand, she understood and discovered who it was: ”Abe-No-Seimei”

The old man hears Kaguya's words, stops lecturing his disciple, and looks at Kaguya, then he opens his eyes a little. When Kaguya saw the magic pentagram that was similar to the magic circle Mizuki had in her eyes, she understood that she had guessed right.

”Oh? Do you know me, Oni? And to think that my legends have spread to this foreign continent-”

When the old man was going to continue to say something, he heard the voices of two women.

”DARLING!?”

Violet, Sasha, and Maria arrived and looked at Ruby holding Victor who had an unfocused look on his face as if he was lifeless.

When Victor heard Violet and Sasha's voice, his blue eyes sparkled a little and he tried to move his hand, but he couldn't. He felt like his body was paralyzed and he couldn't move anything, he could understand and hear everything around but could not move.

Violet jumps towards Victor and starts checking him out, seeing that he was in a very bad state, her eyes started to darken in madness. She looks at Mizuki and says:

”You did it!?”

”I-” Mizuki was going to try to say something, but she was interrupted by Violet's angry outburst.

”YOU DID IT!!” Fire started to come out of Violet's body, the atmosphere around her started to get suffocating, Violet was slowly losing herself in anger.

”Calm down Violet, we need to get away, and heal our husband” Ruby spoke in a cold tone.

As if by magic the fire around Violet disappeared, and her eyes sparkled with clarity, she looked at Victor and bit her lip in frustration; 'I should be by his side! I'm going to kill that bitch!'

Suddenly everyone heard an explosion as if lightning had hit the ground.

”Oni, what are you doing?” The old man asked neutrally as he looked at Sasha who attacked Mizuki who defended herself with her Odachi.

Sasha didn't respond, she just looked at Mizuki with hate in her eyes. Lightning started to crackle around Sasha, and soon she disappeared in a flash and attacked Mizuki again.

”Ugh,” Mizuki wasn't able to attack, Sasha was too fast, so she just assumed a defensive position with her Odachi and protected the vital parts of her body.

The spirit looked at everything with interest, he didn't seem to be interested in interfering in the fight and continued watching everything with curiosity shining in his eyes.

Sasha took the dagger from her legs and started making small cuts on Mizuki's body, the dagger couldn't pierce Mizuki's body.

”Give up, Oni. You can't penetrate my disciple's defenses, you're quick, but you're not strong enough.” The old man spoke in a neutral tone.

Sasha's eyes flashed with more hate when she heard the old man's words, she hates the woman for leaving Victor in that state, and she hates the old man for underestimating her.

Sasha's body began to glow yellow:

”Sasha, don't lose your cool! If you use this power for too long, you will be incapacitated!” Ruby exclaimed.

Sasha yelled angrily, ”I don't care! I'm going to kill this bitch!”

Booooom!

Lightning struck Sasha's body, and slowly her body began to change:

Her ears begin to grow and become elongated like an elf, her teeth began to grow and become sharper, she grew a little higher, and soon she turned into a female version of the transformation of Victor.

The only differences were that her body was covered in yellow lightning and that her powers seemed to be concentrated in her legs.

”Another count class vampire...” Mizuki said as she walked away from Sasha, for a moment she looked at the spirit with a hateful look, she knows that sadistic old man will only help with something if she is about to die.

”General, I e-...MARY!”

Carlos, who had burns all over his body, screamed when he saw Maria from afar.

Maria looked at Carlos for a moment, her eyes gleamed with the desire to go back to him, but the master's order was absolute, she couldn't do anything.

Ruby looked around and noticed that the hunters Victor had fought and not killed were returning to recovered states, she looked at Mizuki and saw that the woman was being healed by some strange technique she was using, the hunters had the upper hand;

'Mizuki is a general with a focus on support, and melee combat, as long as she's alive, we won't be able to eliminate them all, not to mention that old spirit is still around... We have to retreat.'

Ruby analyzed the situation calmly.

Sasha, hearing Carlos' voice, loses interest in Mizuki and looks at Carlos with eyes longing for revenge.

Ruby for the first time got angry, and yelled, ”SASHA! Get a grip, decide what's most important to you now! Your revenge or our husband!?”

Sasha turns to face Ruby, she looks at Victor lying on the floor like he's dead and bites her lip in frustration, but soon she makes a decision, she disappears from where she was and appears next to Victor, the only thing the hunters could see was a trail of lightning.

”Wha-”

”I-”

Mizuki looked around and saw that the normal hunters had started to fall to the ground with their necks cut. All of them, who couldn't react to Sasha, were killed by her daggers, the only ones who survived were those hunters who had high-level defensive enchantments, like Carlos.

”We must back off,” Sasha spoke as her transformation was undone.

Seeing that Sasha was breathing a bit heavily, Ruby thought; 'She still doesn't control this transformation completely, she was too reckless.'

”Oni... Do you think you're allowed to leave this place?” The old spirit asked as he placed the fan in front of his mouth.

Mizuki picks up and places the Odachi on her shoulder, and speaks while holding a talisman with her other hand, ”Kirin, the messenger of the gods, the Oni's are in my sight, and I need your help!”

She positioned herself to run and attack the vampires but stopped when she saw her master motioning her to do nothing.

Ruby looked at the old spirit with a smile on her face, ”We don't need your permission to leave this place, get your dick out of your ass, you're just a dead man.”

Then she looks at Sasha and Violet, as if indicating for them to do something, the two women smile as if they understand something.
