9 The Scarlet Mist EX part 2 (2/2)
She slashes diagonally but I dodge roll to the side. After I got up, I immediately dash-slashed at her, but she blocked it with her sword.
*BZZZT* My lightsaber rebounded from it and send me flying.
'Fuck, I knew it, my sword is too weak withstand hers.'
”Now you can't dodge this!” She slashed horizontally at me.
But unfortunately, I dodged it with Vector Change, forcefully pushing my body to the side, and landing perfectly on my feet.
*BOOM* her sword hit the floor again.
”Sorry, try again next time.”
I looked at Flandre face. She's smiling while her eyes emit a red glow. Apparently she's having fun.
”Don't worry Onii-san,” she still easily pulled her sword out of the ground, ”I won't stop trying.” She got ready for another swing.
'…System, times remaining?'
[Survive until: 13:45 minute remaining]
'…This is the longest 30 minutes of my life.'
We spent some time on our sword fight ”games”, me dodging her attack, my attack get rebounded, etc. I successfully found an opening to slash at her but she once again avoided it with her bat form. Back and forth, we keep attacking and defending and dodging while the spotlight following us throughout the fight, until I had an idea…
*BZZUAAAH* I locked my sword with her sword. I used a lot of concentration to keep myself on the ground when locking our swords together. 70% of Vector Change power.
”Hey, Flandre did you know why I, a human, got invited by Remilia into her mansion?” I asked her.
”Not really, no. Onii-san are you someone special?”
…Dammit, I'm getting pushed back, Vampire too OP, game too imbalance.
”Special? Yes, I'm special; the reason why Remilia let me in is because she's my girlfriend.”
”…who?”
”Remilia Scarlet, she is my girlfriend.” I said with a smile.
”…”
I heard it, the gears inside Flandre's mind start reving trying to process that piece of information.
”EEEEHHHH?!” her shocked voice of revelation.
'Now!' I use full power Vector Change to direct our swords upward.
*BUZZOOWW* both of our swords shot upward.
”What?!” Flandre surprised by this.
As I'm the one who planned this, I immediately regained control of my sword and redirected it smoothly into a round slash to Flandre, and it connected.
”Uwaaah!” Flandre got slashed but immediately jumped away from me. ”That's a really unexpected time to reveal something, Onii-san.”
Her Lævateinn hadn't dissipated yet, not enough damage…
”I'm sorry, but it's actually a lie.”
”A lie? Lying is bad, Onii-san.” She scolded me.
”Yeah, that's why I will tell you the truth.” I touched the black line in my neck. ”Actually, Sakuya-san is my girlfriend.”
”Is that another lie?” she accused me.
I prepare to dash to her while replying her.
”I'm sorry young mistress, but that's the truth.” Sakuya's voice came out from behind Flandre.
Flandre whipped her head around, ”Sakuya?” she searched for Sakuya behind her.
'But no matter how many times you search, she's not there Flandre because Sakuya wasn't there from the start.'
I dashed at the still confused Flandre; too late did she notice my advance and paid for it.
”Uwaaaah!”
*crack*
Her spell card broke, her sword finally vanishing.
I also ended my spell card, making my lightsaber disappear.
”I'm sorry Young Mistress, but that's also a lie.” I smile while using Sakuya's voice.
”Y-you cheater!” she's pointing her wand at me.
”But aren't you also using your bat form, Young Mistress?” I asked Flandre.
”But you tricked me using Sakuya's voice!”
I touched my choker again.
”What are you talking about?” I said back at her in my voice.
”…I'll show you a real trick then.” she glared at me.
”Taboo ”Four of a kind””
She used her third spell card.
Immediately after that, 3 more Flandres appeared in a flash of a red light.
”You can't escape from me now! Get him!” one Flandre ordered the rest of them.
'So that's the original, I better clean up the rest first.'
All of them started to shower me with their firework-pattern Danmaku.
I started flying and trying to shoot one of the clones down.
We once again are flying around the room, but with much more Danmaku in the air. All of the clones occasionally shot their unique Danmaku at me. Shotgun pattern, bigger firework pattern, six side pattern, they fire at me one after another or just fired at the same time. Magical Sense and Parallel Thinking works at maximum output to dodge all incoming bullet and shooting at the clones.
I can dodge all of bullets but the problem is none of the clones got hit by my bullets. I need to improve…
I used another one of my new spell cards.
”Theater sign ”Character Spotlight””
The surroundings turn dark once more, the spotlights reappeared in the air, but the difference now is that the only people inside the spotlights are the Flandres.
”Where is he?!” all of them searching for me.
”He's not on the floor.” One of them said.
…Vampire Night Vision…
”That mean,” all of them look up at their respective spotlights. ”There! Shoot the lights!” All of them resuming their assault at the spotlight.
'She's right; I'm on one of the spotlights, but you have one mistake when you do it.'
All of the clones shot that one spotlight but it dodged the incoming bullets.
'I can just dodge the bullets and make the entire spotlight to dodge it too. And your spread pattern Danmaku shoot doesn't help you at all in this situation.'
”Stop dodging!” one of the clone shout.
*Pishun* a laser shot towards her from the spotlight, hitting the clone. It disappeared.
”That light, shoot it!” Original Flandre command her clones. I have Photographic Memory if you guys ask how I know.
'Time to shuffle the lights.' I moved all spotlight to the middle for shuffling and renewed my position. This move confused the Flandres.
I repeated this process until only the Original was left, putting her in the center of the four spotlights.
'Let's end this with a bang!'
I used another spell card.
”Accelerator ”One Way Road””
All the other spotlight disappeared as I charged my finale.
Flandre noticed that only one spotlight left and start shooting at it.
As the spotlight got smaller and smaller, Flandre started looking worried.
”Good job, prepare to be surprised.” I said through the light.
”…New Spell Card?” she asked.
”Yeah, and it will be painful if you didn't dodge it.” I replied as I fired the light.
*FWOOOOOMM*
BIG LASER SHINING THROUGH YA!
I sensed Flandre still within the laser's path, which meant she's too late to dodge my attack.
I kept releasing the laser until it the charge was empty.
”*gasp**gasp*” I gasped for breath.
I really should keep that card to as my finale; it kept draining me until the end.
I looked at Flandre's location.
She's smoking from her body while she crossed her arm in front of her face; she tried to defend her head from the laser using her arm.
”Fuha-” she's trembling, ”Hahahahahahahaha.” And now she's full blown laughing in that position.
She put her arm down.
”Arahnii-san is fun! Let's keep playing!” she said smiling with her red glowing eye.
'…Even that's not enough to put her down, as expected from an EX boss.'
”I'm sorry Flandre, but that's the end.”
”…The end? The end of what?”
”The end of our game.”
”Eeeeeeh?! But I want to keep playing!” she protested.
”Yeah, I already out of power. That's why-” I looked at the door.
The door opened, revealing a girl with blond hair riding a broom. It's Marisa.
”We will gonna change the player.” I finished explaining.
*Ding*
[Survive until: 00.00 minute remaining]
[Objective Cleared]
[New Objective]
[Switch with Kirisame Marisa]
I already sensed her when I was in the middle of releasing my laser, so I figured the countdown was actually the time for the incident resolver arrived.
”Owh, Arah, what happened here-ze?” Marisa asks.
I just smiled and flew toward Marisa.
”Hey Marisa! High Five!” I raised my right hand to her.
”H-high five-ze?” She tilted her head but raised her hand anyway.
*Clap*
”Well, here's the short explanation, she and I did a Danmaku Battle but apparently I'm too weak for her to fight so I'm counting on you to fight her in my stead. I promise I'll buy you a sweet when you beat her, bye.” I hurriedly explained the situation to her and booked for the door when I finished.
”I believe in you, Ordinary Magician.” I saluted her.
I close the door, leaving Marisa to deal with Flandre.
*sigh*
”Finally, it's over.”
*Ding*
[5* The Rainbow Vampire - Complete]
[Reward: 20.000 AP & IP, random ability, random item]
[Do you want to roll the reward now? ]
'No, save it for later.'
*sigh*
'I'm really tired from all that fighting. I think that's enough touring for today; let's just fly toward the exit.'
I lethargically flew toward and out of the mansion's exit.
-Unknown, the Gap-
-Yakumo Yukari POV-
That boy finally made it out of the mansion.
I watched the fight between him and Flandre Scarlet.
Using some kind of device, he tricked Flandre to lower her guard and then strike her. His Danmaku are not that lethal compared to Flandre's Danmaku which could end up killing someone when combined with her ability.
He's not that bad at dodging either.
”Seems like he really wants to start a new life in here.” I said, satisfied with what I saw.
”Is that why Yukari-sama said to all the human eating Youkai that he's available to be hunted?” asked a voice beside me.
I look the source of the voice, Ran.
”Yes, I had to see if he's really non-hostile like his looks, so I sent many Youkai to see if he's killing them or not.” I explained.
”So, he's really not-hostile to the Youkai?”
”Yep, he even handles Reimu really well.”
”…Are you sure it's okay for the Hakurei to near that boy? He has the signs of a philanderer and we don't know what will he do in the future.”
”We will worry if the time comes, right now he's still a boy, he's harmless.”
”…Aren't you just letting him go because he's calling you young in the past?”
I put my hand fan in front of my mouth.
”…Ran, no fried tofu for you for a week.”
”Yukari-sama, I'm sorry, please forgive me!” she went into dogeza before me.
Author note:
Heyo, Author here. This chapter counted as the second chapter from the previous week, so you guys still gonna have 2 chapter for this week. Oh wow, this is the first chapter that's dedicated for battle. Flandre doesn't have child personality or crazy murderer personality like other fanfic depicted her to be. She's a nice girl inside, she just can't control her strength, and the reason why she can't control it because she never have to control it. She stayed inside the mansion voluntarily, and live in the basement because she respect Remilia, but because Remilia forgot about her for [insert hundreds of years here], she start getting out from her room on her own. This is also my theory, there's probably a canon reason why she get out in the wiki, but fuck it, its my fanfic.
And also as you guys probably know, this fight is inspired from minusT video ”Marisa vs Flandre”, he's a god.
