Chapter 46. Elders
Chapter 46. Elders
It didn't take long for the 5 elders to show up. Each one held a sword in their hand as they used sky walk to step in the air.
"Hey Rei, can I take care of them? You can save your strength for IM when he comes out." Eve said as she looked at Rei.
"Hm sure, I'll intervene when it gets dangerous for you." Rei said towards Eve as he traced a bow ready to attack when Eve is in danger.
"Hahaha thanks Rei!" Eve said happily as she summoned Senbonzakura.
(Listen to any battle theme)
"Hahahaha now then you old geezers, feel free to drop dead any moment now kay?" Eve asked with a smile which brought chills to the Elders.
"Scatter Senbonzakura..." Eve said as she dispersed Senbonzakura into tiny pieces.
"Next, come Sword of Time - Mirai!" Eve said as her own Zanpakuto appeared in her hands.
Separating the petals into 5 sections each one glowed with a different colour. One lit up in flames, one had wind sharpen the edges, one had high pressure water also increasing it's sharpness, one had electricity bounce off each of the blades forming a net of electricity and the last section had a brown sheen to it with no visible changes.
Without warning, Eve launched herself towards the 5 elders as she brought her sword down. Surprised at her speed, one elder quickly jumped forward to intercept while the other 4 attacked her from the sides.
Sparks flashed as Eve and the elder crossed swords, while the sections of cherry blossoms intercepted the four elders. Each elder had to deal with either fire, wind, water or lightning while the earth element served increase the gravity each time the elders were hit. While one might not increase by much, having hundreds will defiantly do something.
Eve continued to clash blades with the first elder, each hit with Mirai allowed her to slow down how fast the elder moved by 0.2%.
"KUHAHAHAHAHA!!! Come on geezer!!" Eve shouted as she too felt the joy of battle like Rei. Bringing her sword to parry a cut from the elder, Eve slid the sword to the hilt guard of Mirai. Using that as the focal point, Eve twisted her sword cutting the elder horizontally. Blood splattered everywhere as Mirai easily cut through any defence the elder had on.
Bringing her thumb to her face, Eve wiped of a bit of blood which belonged to the elder before she licked it. Her smile grew wider as her eyes started to glow a ominous red. Eve narrowed her eyes at the elder who is clutching his stomach in pain trying to stop the blood. Mirai started to glow with a black flame as Eve used fire god slayer magic with it.
"Hahahaha old geezer, do you know that the flames of a god doesn't burn. No they disintegrate everything before it can burn." Eve chuckled darkly. She suddenly flashed forward as Mirai cut towards the neck of the elder. The elder tried to dodge but the wound on his stomach prevented this. With no choice he had to try parry the sword. Without resistance, Mirai cut through the sword and the elder's neck easily.
Twirling her fingers around, the blood started to dry out from the elder as it gathered into a pill. Eve tilted her head back and stuck out her tongue welcoming the blood pill into her mouth.
*Gulp
She swallowed the pill in one go as she looked over to the rest of the four elders who are struggling to fight off the horde of blades.
Wearing a wide blood thirsty grin, Eve walked over to one of the elders. Swinging down Mirai, Eve tried to bisect the elder in one go. Quickly dodging to the left, the elder dodged Mirai but failed to evade Senbonzakura from this split in concentration causing him to be turned into a ribbon of blood and flesh.
The blood rained down around where the elder had stood causing Eve to be drenched by blood. Eve stood under the blood rain smiling widely as he scarlet eyes glowed slightly.
The scene had painted the feeling of fear inside the 3 elders, while Rei felt Eve was the most beautiful woman right now. Even drenched in blood and surrounded by death, Rei felt like he loved Eve more and more. Every side that she has shown so far he loved. The blood thirsty, the battle loving and the mischievous side of her. Every thing she does just makes him more infatuated with her.
Feeling the danger, the three elders nodded towards each other before quickly eating a pill. Which both Rei and Eve recognised as a World combat ranked core. Quickly tracing Caladborg 2, Rei drew back and shot the sword/arrow towards the elders. One of the elders where hit and exploded into a firework of flying limbs. However, the other two elders was able to avoid it quickly and attacked Eve which caused her left arm to be ripped from her body.
Rei saw red, even though he knew that he and Eve was immortal and can regenerate easily he didn't want to see her hurt like this no matter what.
"Eve, come back for a second ok?" Rei said with eerie calmness. While his eyes held cold fury.
Eve nodded silently as she regenerated her arm easily. She retracted Mirai and Senbonzakura before she flew towards Rei and stood next to him. Melting ice into water, Rei quickly washed the blood off Eve before using fire to dry her up. This didn't take more that a few seconds as Rei then looked back at the two remaining elders.
"AARRRGGG!!" They suddenly screamed in pain as they didn't even see Rei go pass them and rip out both of their left arms. Snapping his fingers, Rei controlled the blood in their bodies to stab, rip and tear through their body from the inside out slowly causing them to cry out but no sound came. They just fell writhing in pain. Rei watched them try beg for quick relief as they couldn't take the slow death that Rei had planned out.
"Boy, why extend their misery?" A voice rang out next to Rei which caught him by surprise. Jumping back and landing next to Eve, they looked at the tall figure wearing a tall crown.
"I'll end this quickly." The figure said as a arm extended out and killed the two elders easily.
"Now then Immortal Killer Rei, how shall I deal with you and the lass?" The figure spoke as it turned back to the duo.
"Nothing, since the dead can't effect the living can they? IM." Rei said as he brought Taema in front of him.
"Hn, I see..." IM spoke as suddenly an array of shadowed out arms appeared out of him ripping his outfit apart. Both Rei and Eve cringed slightly as they saw what happened to IM's body. His body couldn't even be called his own, multiple limbs, faces and torso's could be seen slowly breaking out of a small husk of his old body.
"His most Divine has given me unrivalled power at the cost of my mortal shell. You peasants cannot comprehend the power of his most Divine." IM said seeing the disgust present in Rei and Eve's eyes. His body finished mutating as over 20 pairs of black crow like wings exploded out of his newly formed centipede like body. His body measured up to a length of over 1000ft in length. Harbouring hundreds of segments on its body, countless limbs could be seen writhing in the gaps. Suddenly, from this colossal body a screeching like voice could be heard.
"Kekekekekekeke, I have no idea what kind of vendetta you have with his most divine, but he wanted me to kill you with all of my power. Kekekekeke, now for the will of his most divine....die for me."
