Chap 30: stranger danger 3
Frozen in place, no matter how much she tries to move her body won't listen. An invisible force keeping her body still against the will of it's very owner.
The word rang over and over in her heads, making her body unable to do anything but only hopelesly watch as the 'weak' man in front of her pulls out a yellow arm brace from the air.
It then shifted with a clanking sound of a gun being reloaded as he pointed it's two barrel at her lower abdomen.
*BANG*
Her guts got blown out as bullet fragments flew pass through her gut with blood and body parts.
Takichi was about to deal another blow when his arm got tanggle in something. Looking down, his arm has disappear.
'?' A confused look on his face
He can still feel his arm, like being wrap in a blanket. Then, a phantom force move to thrown him away. Unprepared for this, he got flung almost out of the building.
"Damn, hey where are you Kita. Help me!" The naked woman yelled out.
"I'm afraid you friend won't be coming."
"Huh, what are you talking about ?"
--------
*clang*
Down below on the ground floor, two person was engage in a fight. The first was the broadsword wielding woman, bleeding from her forehead.
Standing across from her, is a boy. Takune with his guts greatsword by his side, breathing heavily. His condition is much better than her with only slight scratches and tear all around his body.
"So, you came for us ?" Takune started.
"Yes."
"I take it your plan was to capture us one by one then send us to Senjaku ?"
"....."
"Can i at least know what is the reason she doing this for ?"
"I do not know."
"Ha, fair enough." Takune breath out a sigh before picking up his blade and move into his stance. "I'm going to kill you now."
"You may try." The woman pick her blade up as well.
The two with their blade charge at the same time.
--------------
Using curse speech is more troublesome than what Takichi had initial anticipated. His first use didn't cause him much backlash, beside his tounge going numb.
But continuous uses will render him mute or worse, kill this body. So he has to use them with caution. At most he have around 2 or 3 more time, 1 if he speak a complicated word.
*crash*
His body got hit by that send him crashing through the wall again. But Takichi was able to regain footing quickly and standing back up again.
His battered body got hit in the blindspot several time, but no matter how much he turn to fight back he'll miss.
"That's it you low-life brat. Prepare to die, screw the order!" The woman spat, anger seeping through her words.
By now, Takichi was able to find out what the woman been using to become invisible.
Shikigami
Cursed spirits that used as familiars to support sorceress.
And she must have one with an ability to make her invisible, or maybe that's a part of her curse technique. Like Yuki and her shikigami, Garuda.
He didn't get a good glimse of it but he was sure she using one with her. It must be large enough to cover all of her body.
But it can't cover things left behind, he noticed as every time he got hit. Her foot print was left, and there was a certain sound that was made when she approach him, he can use that.
"How you think about that huh?" She woman speak loudly. "I'm going to rip both of your arm off. Let's see how you use that arm of yours when i fucking rape your cock."
With his back pressed against the wall, Takichi ensure he won't get hit from behind. His eyes watching keen for a slight change in the environment.
*whoosh*
*BANG*
His arm launch a jab at the direction of the sound. The air in front of him moved and Takichi follow it with his arm gun, shooting at it.
bullet flies everywhere breaking everything in his path, at the end of his attacks. Takichi only make the place look like a mess.
He frowned, his ammo is limited and reloading would make a window for him to be attacked. So he lowered his hand to the ground, then.
*BANG* *BANG* *BANG* *BANG*
He began shooting the ground in a circle around him, dust flew everywhere as the floor below him gave up. Takichi began to fall to the floor under.
He landed feet first, quickly leaning back up with both fist.
*BANG* *BANG*
Shooting through the hole he just fallen through. Seeing as nothing, he guessed that the woman must've hurt from that attack. Or at least she didn't go through yet.
Takichi turn and ran toward somewhere else in the room.
"Damn, my chest!"
The invisible woman shouted in pain, indeed Takichi suprise move did hurt her as she tries to follow him down but got caught by his gun shot.
Now outside of his vision he was not aware that all the attack he inflicted was slowly being healed. The many holes in her lower abdomen now closing. All this was due to her shikigami, a see-through stingray spirit that make her become a ghost to everyone while letting her able to see everything just fine. And also secrete a fluid that heal her.
'That brat.' She throught angerly.
This was supose to be an easy job, no body tell her that this kid has a clan curse technique. Her mind now instead of thinking on the question of how or why did he have such technique, she only focus on the goal of beating him to death, but only after she have her way with him first.
Once finish healing, she dive down through the hole carefully to not make a sound. As expected, Takichi was nowhere near here.
Still, there was trace left behind. And that is exactly what she found, blood on the ground. Left by him from his shoulder wound.
'Hehe, this brat.' Thinking she have the upper hand. The woman follow his blood on the floor to a conner where there were many leftover construction equipment and materials lay strewned across everywhere.
And in the very conner sat a boy. 'Gotcha.'
"Aw, is the boy lost." Her voice of mockery returned, as well as her own arrogance. "Finally, i'm going to enjoy this." Shecontinue to insult him while getting closer.
Now that she known that this boy ran out of shot and can only use this as shabby hidding place until someone came to save him.
"Ș̷̍ẗ̴͍́ȏ̸̼p̴̯̈́ ̴̰́m̴̟̀o̴̩͌v̶͖̈́ḯ̵̼n̸̝̎g̴̖̓" he shouted.
The invisible woman was freezed again, but as arrogant as she was. She failed to noticed that the sand bags and nails got thrown around like a child play room mess. Was put in a strategy position, such so when she walk in. Takichi can shoot her confidently without the worry that he missed.
*BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG*
he unload everything to the bags causing the sand, nails and dust was all over the place.
Takichi can see the clear round surface that it settle around, switching his gauntlet for his katana. Diving at full force, his blade coated in curse energy pierce through the layer covering her. He can feel his blade cutting through the firm layers of flesh, blood to bone.
The curse getting hit by a fatal blow, exploded in a mesh of purple blood. Revealing the woman behind it, with Takichi's blade pierce right through her arm.
