59 A true Monster

Akua: ...Hit me? That's a pretty arrogant thing to say when everything just pass through me.

Akua unleashed her killing intent at Meruem, and said with a creepy face.

Akua: I suggest you to leave before you will lose my life.

Meruem lowered his arm and slowly crouched down, then in a sonic speed, he kicked the ground and was right in front of Akua, her eyes widened in surprise before she turned intangible, while Meruem's knife hand lowered, and surprisingly, it cutted her chest.

Akua: Ugah!!

She spit blood while even more of that trailed down from her injury at her chest, she immediately backed away and held her chest in pain while looking at Meruem in shock, not only her, but Lingling at the side was shocked from what happened.

Akua: That… You used the Dimensional sword…!?

Meruem just looked at his hand with a blank gaze and commented.

Meruem: A technique that could cut anything… This is interesting…

His Dimensional sword was still quite crude, but the ability to use it still shocked both Akua and Lingling, then Meruem swung his arm while using the Dimensional Sword around, and in just 4 more tries, he was able to adapt to the technique and use it at the full power.

He raised his arm at his side and swung horizontally, the house where they currently were was cut in half while Akua narrowly dodged that and Lingling tackled Fangfang down.

Akua: 'He… He mastered the Dimensional Sword in just 5 tries?! His growth-rate is extremely dangerous!!'

Akua panic increased the more she thought about the possibility of letting Meruem free, if she would know that eating strong monsters will let him get their abilities, she would immediately run away, since that meant that Meruem was more dangerous than Alucard.

She used more than 4 years to master the Dimensional Sword and more years to make a variant of it for the entire body, Meruem just needed to see it once and in 5 tries he perfectioned it…

Before she could think about other things, she heard a footstep in front of her before Meruem looked down on her, Akua slightly raised her head because their height difference wasn't that high, and her body trembled when she gazed at those deep and purple eyes.

Then Meruem raised his hand and gently laid it on Akua's cheek, surprising her.

Akua: Eh?

Meruem lightly slapped her cheek, doing absolutely nothing, before he moved a bit his arm and threw, this time, a strong slap, sending her fly against the destroyed wall and out from the room.

Then, while Akua was getting wrecked around like a doll, Lingling stood at the side watching everything happening… Is this a joke? I used whatever I could, but I was unable to scratch her, probably even Touhou Fuhai would need to be a bit serious.

But Meruem? He bitch slapped Akua as if she was just a weak monster with his tail, he mastered the Dimensional sword in less than 1 minute, his "Youki" was even scarier than that of Touhou Fuhai when he's angry…

Akua was slowly getting up while gritting her teeth… Escaping will be almost impossible with that kind of speed he possess…

And at this moment…

Meruem froze on his place, and his pupils shrank to needles, before he fell down like a puppet that lost his strings…

Akua used this opportunity to reach immediately Moka and taking her away before someone would intercept her, nearby, there was a zeppelin waiting for her, she jumped in it and the zeppelin immediately left, leaving a stunned Lingling and Fangfang, while Meruem was unconscious.

At the other side of the room, Touhou woke up, and massaged his head in pain.

Touhou: Guys, I'm ba...ck…

He looked around and saw only destruction, Moka was missing while Gabriel was in his true form, unconscious.

Touhou: ...Lingling, explain to me…

Lingling: Yes, Lord Touhou Fuhai.

[Meanwhile]

Gabriel and Meruem were facing each other in the former's mindscape.

Gabriel: ...Meruem, what did you do?

Meruem: I said I would do nothing that could be irreparable, I injured a vampire girl, but before I could properly restrain her, you arrived.

Gabriel held his chin and thought.

Gabriel: Vampire girl… Describe her.

Meruem: Black hair and black eyes, good enough in Martial Arts.

Gabriel: Pretty vague… Nah, it doesn't match anyone I met before…

Meruem: Gabriel, I want to warn you that this will be a really dangerous moment.

Gabriel: Yeah, I know there isn't much time for the last fight…

Meruem: No, I meant that when you left, my soul left some traces around your body, and now they are on your soul, I would give you 3 days before everything is ended…

Gabriel: ...WHAT!?

He hurriedly came out from his mindscape and woke up in his real body with a panicked face.

He noticed that he was using his true form, and Touhou, Fangfang and Lingling were looking at him strangely.

Gabriel: Old man, I need your help right now!

Touhou: Finally you are back, Gabriel.

Gabriel: Fuck the greetings, come here!

Gabriel grabbed Touhou and pulled him up since he was short.

Gabriel: Hey, do you know any place where it doesn't matter how much damage will happen?!

Touhou: Y-Yeah, can you release me? You are ripping off my arm…

Gabriel sighed and calmed down, nothing would happen if he goes insane now, then he lowered Touhou in the ground.

Touhou: *Sigh* Follow me, Lingling, Fangfang, you two fix the things…

Lingling/Fangfang: Yes!

Then Gabriel followed Touhou, while not bothering with turning back to his human form.

[Later]

They were in another reality made from Touhou, which was just like Hong Kong.

Gabriel: Alright, put your strongest barriers around me, the number doesn't matter, the more the merrier, it will get a mess when I will start.

Touhou: Are you confident to win?

Gabriel: They fucking kidnapped "MY" Moka! I'll tear off their heads, I need to win!

Touhou: *Sigh* Alright…Be careful, this will be painful.

Then he took out talismans and charged them with his Youki, before they flew around Gabriel, the first thing that happened were thin and long swords that pierced Gabriel's back and skewered him in the ground, they didn't hit any vital point, but they immobilized him a bit.

The next thing that happened were glowing chains twisting around the swords and his arms, while their ends were nailed in the ground at his sides.

After that, a cage of steel appeared and contained Gabriel, followed from more talismans and a thick rope around the cage, strengthening it. Then a 3-layered barrier was around Gabriel, and the last barrier…

Touhou: Art n.9, Devil God Seal!

A magic circle appeared under Gabriel, which was big enough to contain all the barriers put together, before a row of spikes appeared in the perimeter. Those spikes were revealed to be teeth, and after those appeared, a giant monster's head came out and swallowed Gabriel.

Gabriel: ...It's time.

Meruem: Yes.

In a blink, Gabriel was already facing Meruem, both of them were looking seriously at each other before they took a stance and the hardest fight that Gabriel ever fought started.
