31 Shiro

As he finished casting enough firepower. The time resumed.

I don't intend to kill you. I will just neutralize you though.

All spells set off and flew towards Kuro who is grabbed by the hands. But then he vanished leaving only a golden flash. The plan didn't work. But he detonates all the [Explode Mine] in the whole area. That even the are is filled with it.

This is a mirror world. He shouldn't have any more control over the nature. We're really screwed if he still managed to get away unharmed. He casted barriers to shield themselves. Leaving them both unharmed.

"I'm not that weak. Do you think I'm stupid? You did forget about my webs. Oh yeah, you didn't know much about the webs, since I didn't use it that much. My threads are strong enough to withstand those explosions."

Kuro said all that. But Satoshi didn't know where he is.

Shit. If I had known that he has that kind of web. I shouldn't have underestimated him. But it's fine. I still got him.

Kuro appeared in front of him now. While the whole scenery is burning.

"It's no use. Me as a Deus ex Machina Owner. You can't catch me like th–"

He started to act strangely. As if suffering very suddenly. He then collapses on the ground unable to move.

"No. I could catch you with enough intellect."

"What'd you do?"

"A bit of drug. I used [Transfusion] to put this liquified drug into your bloodstream. I used a magic item for that, of course. While the time is stopped. Not everything could be resolved using raw power. You must use the brain to overpower opponents you can't go against."

"Haha. We're really doomed with that time-stopping ability. In my vision. I saw you used that. And so I lost. Entirely because of how simple yet effective spell it is. You could set up everything you want during that."

"We?"

"Don't mind me saying that."

"Fine. Now, Release my teammates or I'll kill you."

The fiery scenery is then gone. This means they are back in the original world.

"That scenery."

"It's the mirror of this area."

"So. That's why my teleportation is limited huh?"

"Enough talking. Go ahead and release them."

Genji grabbed Satoshi by his shoulder. He is back to his human form.

"No need Satoshi. I'll rather kill this bastard."

"No. Step out Genji. What's your problem."

"I just wanted to kill this bastard."

"Enough. We won't kill him."

"Besides. He has a Deus ex Machina. It could be ours once he died."

"No. There's no need. Until he releases them."

"Then you will kill me once I released them?"

"No. There's no need to kill you. We would just leave you here. The drug will wear off after 3 hours. Just wait for it."

"Fine. I will release them now."

They saw everyone flying towards them.

"Guys... Thank goodness you defeated him." It's Oriana that spoke.

"Wait guys... It's only 15 of you now?"

"About 2 of us... We don't know what happens. But they got consumed..."

"Consumed? How?"

"Once we're all entangled by the plants. 2 of them just became unconscious. Once we got off because the plants let us go. They were already dead."

"You!!!" Genji is more bloodthirsty now than before.

He lunges to Kuro —who couldn't move now due to the drug Satoshi put in his bloodstream— with the intention to kill him.

As he's about to stab Kuro with his Katana. A golden dagger intercepted his attack.

What?

Everybody watched in confusion.

"Who are you?"

There stood a busty woman. She had long white hair. She looks healthy unlike Kuro. She had the same clothes as Kuro. But colored white. She then proceeds to carry Kuro with her 4 arms on her back. Same as black like Kuro's

"I'm Shiro. And I'm taking my Onii-chan back."

"There's another dagger?"

Kuro then spoke arrogantly.

"I'm sorry, outsider. There's actually two of these. The Twilight Twin Daggers. Farewell. Also. About your teammates that died. It's not my fault. Maybe the nature consumed them in exchange for the life force destroyed in our fight. So it's clearly not my fault. But still. I'm sorry. Fighting you is actually fun. 3 hours you said. Guess I had to let you go to the cave. But beware. Be fast. If nature captured you. You might get consumed. That is to restore the balance. Once again. Farewell." As they disappeared. Leaving golden flash behind.

"That bastard!"

"2 more of us died. It's truly unfortunate."

"Yes. But let's not let their death be in vain." As the captain spoke.

"Yes. Let's proceed. After this. Let's give them a proper burial." (Satoshi)

After the two got away.

Shiro made Kuro lay down and let him use her lap as a pillow.

"Why'd you let them go onii-chan?"

"As if we still could stop them."

"But I could fight."

"No need. Well, why'd you saved me there?"

"Of course. You will die. Why didn't you use the precognition ability during the fight?"

"I had honor and pride. I told them I won't use it during the fight. So didn't"

"You know. If I didn't step in on that. You should have died there."

"Hah. You really such a good wife and sister."

"Hehe. Of course. I don't want to have my husband died after all. I love you onii-chan. I don't want you to die until we had babies."

"Yeah, I love you too. Very well. Let's just watch them from afar. And let nature deal with them if they destroyed more than what they came for."

"Okay!"

Satoshi and the others manage to get on the cave and secured it. They successfully deployed a barrier and magic items to further enhance the defense. They tried to do more countermeasures for the siblings' teleportation capabilities. And hoped that it would work and the miners would not die after they got back on their world.
