Chapter 187 Kisuke’s Transformation

“!?” Kisuke was startled, but in an instant, he decided to just let it be and enjoy the moment, ‘Yoruichi already gave me the permission anyway~.’

It is not a hot kiss since Medusa only touched Kisuke lips with hers and after a few seconds, she completely lost her consciousness.

Kisuke caught her and gently laid her down on the ground. He used some healing Kidou to ease her wounds, although she isn’t in the danger of dying anymore, her wounds still looks nasty.

While Kisuke is healing Medusa, a spear of golden light a lot larger than the first one shoots towards him, threatening to impale his head.

However, Kisuke continuously ignored the attacker as he focused on healing Medusa. A small pulsing, green hexagonal shield appeared behind his head. And when the spear was about to hit him, it expanded and absorbed the spear and simultaneously dispersing it to the surrounding area creating small destructions all over the place.

“!?”

“How rude.” Kisuke first pulled out a blanket from his inventory and putting it on top of the sleeping Medusa before facing the goddess, “Shouldn’t you at least wait for me to get ready? You’re wearing a knight’s attire after all.”

“In a fight to death, you’d only die a lot easier following such manners and tradition…” Athena replied.

“Heh~. So this is a fight to death.”

“Although if possible, I want to capture you alive and ask you how you did that… Even us gods can’t do that easily.”

“How scary~. Sorry, but I’m going to decline your invitation. Although if possible, I want to capture you alive and ask you a few things~.” Kisuke snickered, ‘Sorry, Benihime, but this won’t be your time to shine.’ Muttering inside his head, he materialized his hollow mask again and it instantly changes his aura.

Athena furrowed her brows, “Impudent!” She flew towards Kisuke and slashed down her sword.

Kisuke used Flash Step and Athena missed. He reappeared behind her and did an ax kick, “!?” Athena hurriedly used her shield to block the incoming attack, but to her surprise, he disappeared again and she suddenly felt a blunt object hit her side. She flew across the colosseum and hit its wall, destroying it.

Athena stood up without much damage and glared at Kisuke, ‘This bastard is using some unknown technique to accelerate. I couldn’t catch his movements. Is this guy really a human? And what’s up with that mask? It’s giving me, a goddess, a bad feeling…’

Kisuke knew that things would only get messier so he opened a portal to the Dimensional Gap and tossed Medusa their for Yoruichi to take care of her.

Seeing this, Athena didn’t think that Kisuke tossed Medusa to the Dimensional Gap to die, ‘So he has an accomplice, huh? Great… Now I lost my target, and the chains on her were removed. She won’t be tied to this land anymore… I really have to capture this guy alive. Letting Medusa out there is too dangerous.’

Athena stood straight up and took a stance. Her body started to glow in golden light and the aura she is emitting became sharper.

“Getting serious now, huh? Good~. Let me take a look at a god’s capabilities.” Kisuke is no way insulting Athena as this is just his honest thoughts. Athena can tell that much and smiled for the first time, “Get ready then.”

After she spoke, she kicked the ground and instantly appeared in front of Kisuke from 50 meters away. Kisuke’s eyes shoot wide open due to her sheer speed. There is no time to use Flash Step due to Athena’s glowing sword already bearing down on him. He can only use his skin that is strengthened by Hierro to deflect her attack.

For both of them, the world’s time instantly halted to almost stop as Kisuke hurriedly positioned his arm to catch her sword. Seeing this, Athena put more strength to her swing, intending to cut off his arm.

Kisuke’s arm met Athena’s sword and sparks flew, but the next instant, Athena’s sword dug through Kisuke’s skin so he hurriedly flicked his arm to change the sword’s trajectory.

The sword hit the ground and 50 meters deep valley was created along with the sword’s path. Kisuke didn’t mind this and immediately retaliated by sending a punch towards her, ‘Ikkotsu (Singe Bone)!’

Athena reacted and put forward her shield to block his punch. But to her surprise, the strength behind his punch is way beyond what she expected. For her, it feels like she was slapped away by one of the two Heavenly Dragons.

Even with her strengthened body using her Divinity, she was sent flying again hitting the boundary of the isolated space making it ripple multiple times.

‘Oops… Destroying this space is bad. I don’t want to make my preparations useless… I guess this isn’t the time to be testing the limits of my abilities.’ Sighing in disappointment, Kisuke thought back to when then clashed, ‘Her sword is too sharp. It instantly broke through my Hierro and I can tell that it isn’t the sword which is sharp, but her ability… Should I say as expected of the Goddess of War?’

Athena stood back up again, but this time, she’s a bit disheveled, ‘What was that!? His skin is too tough! Even if it’s a well known strong armor, they would be cut before my sword could even touch it! And that strength… It’s impossible for a human body to contain that much even if you use Ki! Is this guy really a human? He’s so much stronger than the heroes of the past.’

“Athena… was it? Mind telling me why you cursed Medusa and planted something nasty in her?” Kisuke suddenly asked.

“Hmmph! Isn’t it because I’m jealous of her hair?” Athena answered while she tries to recover from the damage she took.

“No way~. Now that I got to meet you personally and fight you on top of that, you don’t strike as that type of person. There must be another reason, more specifically, regarding Medusa’s Divinity.”

“…” Athena stayed silent and thought for a bit, “It’s amazing for you to know that much… But why did you think I’ll tell you that? Why don’t you come with me peacefully, maybe I’ll tell you the whole story.”

“No thanks~. I don’t want a leash on my neck. And if you don’t want to tell me, then I can only force you to do it.”

Athena stopped for a moment before laughing out loud, “Hahaha! Are you kidding? I’ll be honest. You’re very strong, but you’re still nowhere close to me. If I want, I can kill you within a few minutes. Don’t underestimate a Main God, human.” Her final sentence was accompanied by her glare.

‘Good… Looks like she’s still underestimating me~. I should finish this before she can pull out her full strength and destroy this space.’ Kisuke decided and propelled his Reiatsu-Ki startling Athena.

‘What is he trying to do now? Powering up? Just how?’ Athena increased the output of her Divinity to match Kisuke. Her pride won’t allow her to use a much stronger force than a human.

A whirlwind was created around Kisuke and the dust-covered him. Athena wasn’t able to see what’s going on inside the whirlwind but braced herself for the third round.

The whirlwind slowed down and the dust started to settle. Athena was finally able to land her gaze at him again, but looking at him, Athena was shaken. At the same time, a huge pressure came crashing down on Athena. His white mask became a bone helmet with two angular horns pointing upwards. His nails grew to become sharp claws, hid pale blonde hair grew long until his waist and his skin became pale white. Most importantly was the top of his suit was completely destroyed revealing his white body with green marking along with a giant hole on his chest.

“…W-what are you!?” Athena asked nervously as she never saw a being like this that gives so much pressure, ‘What is he!? I’ve already seen so many beings in this world but this is my first time seeing a human transform like this!’

Kisuke didn’t answer… More like he couldn’t as he is taking care not to lose control. This is only the second time he released this form and the first time, Benihime immediately tried to take control of his body. But this time, after the talk and deal with her, she didn’t try anything else. But even then, he won’t be able to last long in this form as violent thoughts kept popping in his mind. He predicted that he can only keep in control 10 minutes at most, ‘I should really try this more often… It seems that suppressing these violent thoughts can improve with practice.’ Since Kisuke entered the Vasto Lorde mode, using Sonido would be more effective in this form than Flash Step. Using Sonido, he instantly appeared in front of Athena.

Athena is still shaken with his transformation, so when he suddenly appeared face to face with her, she panicked and used the strongest attack she could manage now. The sword she’s holding was suddenly covered by golden energy which increased its destructive and cutting power multiple times. Athena then swung it with all her strength while backing away, ‘I can’t hold back anymore! I have to kill him before he could actually kill me!’

She that her attack was enough as her attack could even cut the space itself even if it is protected by a very strong ceremonial barrier magic. But she was in for another shock when Kisuke extended his hand towards the sword and caught it mid-swing, “What!!!?”
