12 [11]Sadistic Blue
As we ran through the forest a dim light yellow ember could be seen through the tree's leaves.
The goblins probably started burning down the nomad camp somehow. I highly doubt the goblin leader is also a Xenos, somebody must have dropped a torch or something during the chaos.
"Rethusa take half with you, the other half with me!" Ordered Artemis, he blue hair danced in the air as she ran towards the fire.
Looking towards us she was about to speak but I cut her off "Alex and Angel to the right, Uriel with me" They all nodded as we went our way.
I could hear Artemi's exasperated sigh from behind me.
I guess this was the reason she didn't like me much when we first met. I have a tendency to not follow orders unless needed to, I can but I won't if I don't need to.
After all were friends, not her subordinates.
Getting closer, my brothers and I split.
"Shit" Everything was on fire, Green cut-up corpses laid on the ground and dismembered human ones to were... Spread.
I could see Uriel having a hard time keeping her breakfast inside.
"Are you okay, you don't need to come" I reassured her, she lost her parents not so long ago so I didn't want to throw her into another trauma.
"No I'm fine I just need to take it in," Uriel said as she took deep breaths.
I brushed my hand through her hair to calm her down. Something that I've figured out about her is that she enjoys it when I give her pats on the head or I brush my fingers through her hair.
I do it a lot to my family, Angel, Alex, and even my mom so I've gotten used to doing it to people I'm really comfortable with.
I accidentally did it to Sean once when he took me hunting with his family. Had to say no homo five times after that one.
I could have done with one but the extra four were for his reassurance.
"I'm alright now" Drawing her sword she stepped into the hellhole with determination.
She really changes at times like this. From the lovable and sweet Uriel to the serious and determined Uriel.
*Sniff* they grow up so fast!
As we walked through the camp we encountered a few small groups of Goblins but Uriel took care of them fairly quickly.
She had a few oopsies (Almost Lethal) here and there but I had her back.
I shot each of the goblins that came close to hurting her with [Ace of Spades].
{Francis, be carefully. There are multiple signatures hidden In the rubble} warned Alice
'Shit!' I quickly pushed Uriel to the side allowing the arrow aimed at her head to pass by.
Out of nowhere, 12 Goblins rose from the ruble.
Looks like an ambush, good thing Alice warned me.
I drew [Fragrant Olive Sword] from my waist and applied gravity aspect [Void] to my sword to make it lighter. Despite becoming level four the sword is still super heavy, I'm guessing that I'll be able to use it properly once I become level 10 or 11.
As the goblins drew close, four of them thrust their makeshift and stolen swords at me.
[Horizontal Square]
My sword glowed blue as I swung my sword, deflecting all their attacks smoothly.
The Goblins looked back that I deflected their bush attack. I took the chance and thrust forward to one of the Goblins making blood gush out of it's neck.
*Woosh* while my sword was in its neck I activated [Horizontal] bursting my sword out of its neck and cutting the two Goins that were coming at me into Gojo halves.
The last one cowered in fear as it tried to run away but I shot it in the head with my gun.
Can't have it escaping after all.
"Shit, Uriel"Worried about her, I looked towards her previous location to see her standing atop the corpses of 8 goblins.
"Damn!" I couldn't help but murmur under my breath. The progress that she's managed to do in this week alone was impressive but dealing with 8 goblins by herself is even more impressive. Sometimes I can't believe that she's the frail girl I saved a week ago in the woods.
She managed to do all that yesterday but she did have some things that she did wrong.
For example, I can see that she's tired already.
She was probably reinforcing her whole body with mana each time she went into a fight to make up for her lack of strength. But due to that she ran out of mana quickly and became tired.
She could have only sent mana to specific body parts instead of her whole body so that she would minimize her mana usage or as they call it here, mind usage.
I'm surprised that she hasn't suffered from mind down yet.
(A/N: Mind down is basically when you exhausted your mana/mind reserves to the point that you pass out)
But considering the fact that she's been doing this for only a week speaks of her talent.
"Are you okay, any injuries?" I asked as I helped her barely standing figure to sit on the floor.
She continued to take deep breaths to calm down. And I just brushed my hand through her hair seemingly calming her nerves.
"Good job Uriel, though you should minimize your Mind usage. Just use it in the limbs and muscles you use to attack and defend" I recommended.
She opened up her eyes and looked at me "*pant* thank you, Francis, il make sure to remember that" she said between hufs.
As I helped her recover I started hearing screams near us, not screams begging for help but more of... Angry?.
Uriel looked at nodding her head showing that she heard it too.
Good thing that Uriel managed to recover her stamina a bit allowing her to walk by herself.
We quickly ran towards the voice's direction.
23 fucking goblins circled and continuously attacked or at least attempted to do so toward a blue-haired girl.
She frantically swung the knife in her hands towards any Goblin that approached her, swiftly and brutally ending its life.
'Dam, she's good with a knife' The way she swung her knife wasn't all random. It was more like she was doing it out of instinct. Whether a monster sneaked up on her or attacked upfront, she would attempt to efficiently kill it by stabbing her knife in its neck, head, or chest.
"Sorry Francis, I don't think I can help you fight them all off," said Uriel in a sad tone, despite being able to walk, she could. she couldn't do any excessive movement or she would tire herself out to the point of exhaustion.
"It's fine, in fact, this is good" I comforted Uriel.
I've been meaning to try this out.
"[Enhnce Armament]" I said as my sword splits into thin and deadly flowers.
They flowed around in the sky, like as if they were doing a very dangerous dance and deadly.
Uriel looked at the spectacle with an amazed look.
It's a pity I didn't have my phone with me, at times like these I wish that I could take a picture.
Without wasting any more time, I moved the hilt of the sword that was in my hand leading the flowers down towards the mob of monsters.
Each of the hundred small blade-like flowers sliced down the goblins surrounding her.
I quickly retracted the blades back to the sword hilt completing the sword back to its original form.
I ran towards the blue-haired girl to check if she was alright but she swung her knife at me.
*Woosh*
"The hell, oi stop swinging I'm here to help" I kept dodging her swings as she ignored my words.
"Hm?" The ways she moves are weird, it's like she's tired completely but her body won't back down.
It's as if...That it!
Looking closer to her face I could see her dull eyes without a single light in them. She's asleep, and she's been fighting this whole time out of instinct.
I don't know when she started fighting In this state but I think that she turned like this after came in to help.
I swiftly whacked her on the neck, knocking her out even colder than she was already. I caught her falling body and picked her up.
"Let's go back to Artemis, they should have a healer or something" Uriel nodded and got up as she started waking by my side.
That's weird, she's eyeing the girl in my arms.
Wonder why?
----------
After a few minutes of walking, we arrived at the outskirts of the burned down camp were the Artemis familia grouped up.
"Yo, Artiemis this girl need some care" I shouted to Artemis whome was giving out orders.
Seems like they didn't find any survivors considering the corpse's they have lined up. They will probably give them a burial later after they put out the fire.
"A survivor?, Marie come over here heal the girl!!" She shouted soon a girl with brown hair came rushing towards us.
"Put her on the floor laying straight" she told me.
I nodded and put her down on the grass, raising her hands, she started chanting some long ass lines until her hand started glowing green.
The cuts and bruises on her started to slowly fade away.
"So you found someone?" Spoke a voice suddenly behind me.
"Holy shit!" I jumped in surprise only to be met with the laughter of my two brothers. Even Uriel and Artemis were trying to hold in their laughter.
"Don't scare me like that!, Alice why didn't you tell me they were close" Alice should have warned me that they were close.
{I didn't see any need since they don't pose any threath}
"*Sigh* please tell me next time no matter their intentions please" Who knows if someone got close to me and whanted to hurt me. Their emotion control could be so good that even Alice's radar wouldn't pick it up as a threat.
{Understood}
"Ey, no se Mira como la Esmuerte"(hey doesn't she look like Esmuerte) spoke Alex suddenly in Spanish. We came to an agreement to speak in Spanish when we talked about our original world.
"Esmuerte?, quien chingado es eso?"(Esemata? Who the fuck is that?) I asked.
He sighed and came close to my ear and whispered "Esmuerte, Esdeath. You get it now"
... Ohhhh
Es/Muerte
Es/Death
I get it now.
Wait, she really likes like her?
Taking a close look on her face I could see her long blue hair being blushed back by a tribal headband.
Wasn't the Akame Ga Kill Esdeath part of a tribe before they all got... Wiped out.
Just like this moment.
"Hijo de su Pura madre, si es"(Sonava bitch, she is) I said in realization.
And I don't doubt that she is Esdeath after all, The confused Uriel on my side is proof that other anime characters will be here in danmachi.
"Um, what are you guys talking about, I've never heard that language before?" Asked the confused Uriel
"It's nothing, just a language me and my brothers speak often" I answered. Uriel probably had other questions but she respected our privacy.
"No sé quién es Esdeath, pero supongo que es otro personaje de tus dibujos animados japoneses."(i dont know who Esdeath is but im guessing she another character from your japanese cartoons.) Asked Angel.
"Llama a Anime, dibujos animados japoneses otra vez y te romperé el cuello como una ramita."(Call Anime, Japanese Cartoons again and i will snap your neck like a twig) I threatened Angel, he rolled his eyes at me and raised his hands in surrender.
Sigh
I saved another girl and she seems to be an even more troublesome character than Uriel.
