Chapter 19

With an expressionless look on her face, Haruhime dodged the mountain like fist of monster Rex Balor.

Jumping on top of its hand she plunged her rapier in it and ran forwards while tightly holding her weapon making a deep line of wound apper on it.

Using her tail to maintain balance, she moved nimbly like a squirrel while her sword swayed with precision and a strong intent to kill.

'Not enough...'

She moved her legs faster, tightly holding the rapier attacked with even more power.

'Still not enough....'

*Clank*

The hard shell of Balor deflected her sword, pushing her back.

'More powerful...'

Bulging veins appeared on the sides of her forehead as she propelled herself forward once again.

'I need to be one even more powerful.'

*Crack*

*Roar*

The humongous left arm of the monster Rex was finally sliced, under the shocked expression of everyone the arm with steel like muscle was sliced apart from it's body.

*Roar*

The monster Rex roared in indignation as it raised its huge leg and instantly smashed it down against the earth.

The moment Balor's leg touched the ground, several large cracks formed, making huge rockes fly everywhere.

"Watch out!"

"Take cover!"

*Roar*

In between the flying rocks, Haruhine's golden figure moved forward, jumping from one rock to another as if dancing, barely dodging each life threatening attack with a hair's breath, she made her way forward, her eyes once focused on her target.

'Just like that time....'

A past memory of her struggle appeared in her mind.

'Break through your limits....'

A shark rock slid by her thigh, making a deep wound appear on it.

'....and become you're own hero.'

The golden light of her blessing enveloping her body became brighter and stronger.

-

Uchide no Kozuchi (S):-

-When breaking past your limits you can exceed 2 levels.

-

As the powerful might coursed through her body, Haruhine's arms and legs bulged making them appear more muscular and powerful.

A single step from her cracked the ground, tightly grinding her teeth she opened her mouth and let out a powerful roar shaking the floor.

With a rocket like speed she appeared before the angry monster Balor's chest and stabbed several times in a fraction of a second.

*Crack*

Under the barrage of her crazy attacks the monster crystal hiding inside Balor's chest cracked.

*Boom*

With an earth shattering explosion, the monster Rex Balor's body exploded making dust fly everywhere.

"Damn! She actually killed the boss!"

"Crazy!crazy!"

"Hey she's okay right? wasn't she right next to the explosion?"

"Let's go and check! hurry!"

Middle Lackey was the first to jump in the huge creator formed after the death of monster Rex Balor.

There was a grave expression on his face, others might have missed but middle Lackey clearly saw Haruhine crazily attacking the core of the monster Rex and then being enveloped by the huge explosion.

The injury from such an impact will be anything but light...

With quick footsteps he arrived before the location of the explosion.

As the dust cleared up, Middle Lackey saw the rough figure of a person slowly walking out of the fog.

Heaving a sight of relief, middle Lackey said in a stern voice as he approached the figure.

"That was just suicidal Haruhime, be prepared to face God Soma's anger after reaching the surface...."

Little by little middle Lackey's voice grew smaller and smaller before coming to a halt

A silence enveloped the place as middle Lackey stared at the person who walked out of the fog with a stunned look on his face.

Jet black hair, dark long coat, a familiar face mask....

And those crystal clear eyes which seem to stare right inside his soul.

Carrying Haruhime in his arms, the figure was not something he could every forget in his life.

Middle Lackey's body started trembling as a memory of past flash pass his mind.

'I don't belive it! Haruhine! tell me you're lying! how can the boss die?!?!'

'Hey you're lying right?it's a stupid joke or something right? a prank?Haruhime!'

Middle Lackey felt his eyes become blurry, he tried to open his mouth and say something but fir some reason no words seem to come out.

Standing opposite to him William stared straight at Middle Lackey for some time before giving him a light nod.

Turning his head down he looked at Haruhime whome he saved from the explosion.

Tightly biting down on her lower lip, he could see her staring straight at him with bloodshot eyes and an indignant face, trying her best to hold herself together.

Looking at their reactions, William only said a simple sentence.

"I'm back."
