Exercising with Exorcists 2
Ruruko: Hey ya, What's your name?!
"Sesa."
Woah! I replied without thinking. It wasn't within my expectation that this girl with be so straight forward.
More so, she had just been shot. Yet, Ruruko doesn't happen to show any fear and the sort. I can feel the positivity exuding from her, that nature of hers might very well be a good tipping point for the Sitri team.
"I could..." I say, I could take this girl as my servant... but I don't want to. She's part of Sona's peerage, well, she will be soon.
????: Sesa!?
I hear a voice from behind so I turn to look. Picking herself of the ground after I caused her to fall over, this girl is none other than Sona's rook. Tsubasa Yura.
She was astonished at the revelation that it was me. Unfortunately for the girls, I had my hood on. My face was obscured from their sight. Not only that, my Mask of Deception was covering my face. No one would really know who I am if I didn't want them to know.
Tsubasa went on to dust and straighten her clothing. She seemed to look at me with curiosity.
To satisfy the girl I pull back the hood, I was going to lift the mask of my face even, suddenly, a few shots got fired.
BANG BANG BANG BANG...
I had long since detected these enemies. I was able to sense their presence approaching along with Tsubasa. My only guess is that Freed's flash grenade attracted the attention of these new comers.
These stray exorcists! I was too naive to think that they would relax stay back and look at the situation with broader vision. They are certainly madmen to attack like wild beasts.
"Do you have no self conscious or is it that you're that confident?" I mutter. Since I had already known of their existence, I was prepared to take action.
The bullets were aimed at Tsubasa's back, several on the way to take her life. Well, she may survive, she's a rook after all.
I threw a hand up in the rook's direction. I force a barrier shield to appear at her back at the last second. Next, the barrier vibrated, receiving all the on coming metal without fail.
Tsubasa: T-that was close!
Sona's piece was jerked forward. She took a stance to defend herself and perhaps to defend us who were also in the line of fire. Even the girl, Ruruko was quick to run behind me.
"Don't run behind me!" I scolded.
Ruruko: Whaaat?! You're the boss, you supposed to protect your subordinates. I don't have magic like you.
"What subordinates?"
That's my last words to the girl for the time being. I abandon her and dash forward to Tsubasa. I spread my bat-like wings and leap up above the barrier I made. I push forth a palm when my flight reached over.
WATER SERPENT!!!
A gush of water in form of a snake leaves my palm with a force like that of a broken fire hydrant.
I was aiming for the closest exorcist. I bet none of them were expecting a shield to appear out of nowhere, what to speak of a retaliation.
It was too late for the exorcist, though, the speed at which the 'Water serpent' hit was beyond unfathomable to the target.
SMASH!!!
The water snake crashed straight into the chest of the victim, literally, lifting the man off the ground and forcing him back. Without a second more, the serpent of water hit right through the man and came out his back.
The water snake had changed color at that point. Deep red, the color of blood then the structure of the snake splashed all over leaving the dead exorcist in the center of a red pool.
I can already see the other two accompanying the dead man lose their motivation in their all out attack. They probably thought we'd be easy pickings before.
The exorcists were turning around, ready to run away with their tails between their legs so to speak. I have no intention to let them getaway.
I concentrate on my mana flow, condensing it. I hold both my palms adjacent to each other. Wishing for more time, I abruptly release my newly mimicked spell then a darkened sphere appeared before turning flat like that of a disc.
DEPORTATION!!!
The flat disc was like a black whole manifesting from nothing. It wasn't very big, actually, it was way smaller than the target. Although it was about the size of a human head, it's suction force was incredible.
The exorcist that was furthest away managed to escape but the the other was unfortunate. The second exorcist became a victim, having been yanked back by the black disc the man no longer had control of himself.
Before the man could come into contact with the dark hole, it closed. The only evidence that showed the spell was cast was the exorcist, who was pulled across the air.
I may not have fully understood it prior but I do now. This 'Deportation' requires a large amount of mana to be condensed, it also requires a large amount of mana to make the spell big enough to suck in huge bodies. What happened now was the result of me having power on par with a high class devil.
"Not bad, not bad at all."
Without the suction force, the stray exorcist fell back to the ground. His upper back thumping the floor first. Perhaps he injured the back of his head too but I didn't wait to find out.
I land back on the ground. My devil wings remain, I don't want the others to see my next move so I use my wings to obscure Tsubasa and Ruruko's vision.
Casually, I hold up my right hand and point out my index finger. A magical circle in front of my index appears. Although small, I could clearly make out the intricate design within.
"So this is Kankara formula!"
With this Satanic spell, I connected it's usage with my barrier shield. Quickly, I will it to do what I desire. Strengthening the shield, compressing it's width further. Simultaneously, like willing the movements of the coffin box, I will the barrier to move.
Raising it to the air and bringing it forward, the barrier comes high above the fallen exorcist. I point my index finger down, the spell circle also begins to make funny changes to itself then...
SPLIT!
The barrier shield dropped like a guillotine.
S.Sesa: Another exorcist down and more calories burned.
