Chapter 22 - The Battle for the Reason

[MC's POV]

I didn't expect Androssi to be ten times faster than what I expected her to be, I was caught off guard by her speed, thus I was barely able to dodge her kick towards after her charge.

"Woah there, You could've gotten my bones broken if I got hit by that High kick, Miss." I said while dodging her attacks.

Androssi kept throwing out attacks after attacks in an extremely fast rate that I was not even able to dodge completely unscathed. Seems like I'm going to be filled with injuries after this.

"Listen here Miss, can't we talk this out like ordinary civilized humans?" I said. If this keeps up, I'll definitely lose. Not that I expected to win in the first place.

"Humans? That's a nice joke, I've long given up my humanity, not that I was a human in the first place." Androssi said with a smirk in her face as she moved the hair that was covering her small horn away from it, effectively revealing that she is not human.

"Heh, Lucky you. I wish that I wasn't one too." I said with a grin in my face before I added, "Let me borrow your strength for a bit, will you?"

Androssi got confused as to what I meant, but she ceased her movement for a moment before looking at me and said, "What did you do?!" Androssi yelled out in frustration.

I used ||Physical Hunt|| on Androssi which increased my physical capabilities by Two times, That's all I could temporarily steal from her as the amount of Stats I could steal from my enemies depends on how strong they are. The stronger the opponent, the lower the stats stolen. Although I can improve the amount of Stats I can steal from stronger opponents by training my Body to its utmost potential, I will never be able to steal all of the opponents strength as they are stronger than me.

"Heh, I told you that I'll borrow your strength for a bit didn't I?" I said as my mouth formed a grin, before adding, "Now, Let's dance shall we?"

I immediately charged towards Androssi, as I took out Murasame from my Inventory and clashed with Androssi's Compressed Needle Sword.

"I must say... That is one convenient weapon, isn't it?" I said with a slight smile on my face.

Androssi smirked and said, "That isn't any of your business," before sending 20... 30... 40... 50

... 60... 70... 80... 90... Over 100 Red darts.

I'm really annoyed by those red darts, but as much as I want to use all fiction to just remove all of it from existence, It won't be of any use if I don't cut it off by the roots, which means that i'll have to make Androssi's ability to manipulate shunso, disappear altogether.

I don't really want to do that for several reason, Number one would be because I don't want to decrease her power permanently, One of the reasons I summoned her here was because she was strong after all, she wouldn't be that strong after losing her ability to manipulate Shunso right? Second would be because I don't know whether it's an action way past an advanced action so it's better to be safe than sorry, I wouldn't want experiencing a drawback in the middle of a fight, will I?

With that being said, I could only unfortunately dodge all of the incoming projectiles. The Red Darts were relatively big, although it works in my favor as the Bigger the projectile is, the easier it is to dodge.

However, not everything goes in exactly my way everytime, sometimes... Misfortune comes in, at the worst times.

While I was focusing on evading the incoming Red Darts, I didn't notice two circular disk coming towards me at an extremely fast rate.

I used my Aerial Maneuvering skill to dodge the two additional incoming disks, the disk could go at the same speed as me when I'm at my full speed, which caused me to frown as I am struggling with shifting my focus to dodging both the incoming red darts and the two incoming disks.

I managed to make the two circular disks crash at each other, along with successfully evading all of the Red Darts. Before I could release a sigh of relief, I was hit Androssi's kick which hit my stomach, thus sending me flying towards the ground.

I coughed out blood from the impact of Androssi's kick, I could barely stand up because of the pain I felt from the impact.

Before I could manage to stand back up, I dropped back to the floor again as Androssi pinned me to the ground. No, not with her needle sword, she was using her hands.

Yes, I'm laying down in the ground on my back with Androssi pinning me to the ground using her hands. Now, we all know it isn't possible to pin down a person lying down on the ground using your hands while standing up right? I think all of us can imagine the position both of us are in right now.

'Oh boy... You are pinning me down the wrong way but in a good way at the same time. If someone sees us like this then it would create a huge misunderstanding, not that I care, heh...' I thought to myself.

"Now speak! What are your intentions by bringing me back to your base?! Where's Snake Charmer?!" Androssi ordered in a loud voice.

"Okay, Let's settle down for a bit here miss. First off, You may appropriately consider this compound as a base but I recognize this entire place as my home. Second, Like I have said before, There isn't any Snake Charmer here nor am I affiliated with anyone called a Snake Charmer. Now will you please get your hands off of me? I'm afraid that if anyone sees us here, this entire ordeal would be even more troublesome as it is." I answered Androssi in a calm manner. I have no reason to lie after all.

"Lies! Last time I remember, I was already at the verge of dying! What are you and Snake Charmer trying to achieve by keeping me alive?!" Androssi yelled, there was a hint of sadness on the tone of her voice when she said that.

I'm really starting to get annoyed by her stubbornness, She's refusing to believe anything that I answer... So I did what every gentleman would do at this situation... I yelled back at her.

"Stop being so stubborn! I already told you over and over again, I am not affiliated with anyone called Snake Charmer nor do I know anyone named Snake Charmer! I am also not trying to achieve anything by keeping you alive! Is being alive really that bad of a news for you?!" I yelled back at Androssi in response to what she said.

I could tell that Androssi was finally starting to calm down and was finally able to think logically.

"What do you me-" However, before Androssi could finish what she wanted to say, a Knife passed through between our faces.

I looked at the direction where the knife came flying from, I found Chara with an eerily creepy ear to ear grin.

"See? I told you that it would be even more troublesome if someone saw us," I told Androssi while giving her a smile.

But before things could escalate even further, the chosen one came and saved the day, It was Sans...

Blue strings then restrained both Chara and Androssi from moving, Both Chara and Androssi tried to break out from the Blue String but to no avail.
