Playing with other Supernaturals

Chapter 895 Aktzin vs Koneko & Kuroka part 1

A few minutes ago, Aktzin was still relishing in the fact that he and the other two Gods were able to bring forth their original avatars from Heaven by using mortal souls to act as an anchor and cover the scent of his Divine Will. Through connecting the souls of the children connected to him through Falna, the God of rain, thunder, and lightning was able to descend without many reactions from the Dungeon.

‘The work that Osiris and Aruna put into this is just wonderful. It’s a good thing that I’m the first one to volunteer to join this experiment as I can imagine the jealous faces of those who chose to sit back in fear of the consequences.’ Aktzin thought while chuckling to himself.

Aktzin appeared to be a light-blue-haired middle-aged man wearing a white suit. He had matching blue eyes and a thin blue mustache. Thanks to the Divine Power he was emitting, a regal aura was also surrounding him, giving him the look of authority.

However, he couldn’t enjoy the situation and thought about being a ‘Hero’ anymore, due to finding himself on top of a vast forest and below a purple sky with a pair of black and white Cat-people standing and talking in front of him.

“Nee-sama… Do you mind explaining the situation now? You and Medusa-neesan suddenly pulled all of us out of the Dungeon and teleported us to this… Rating Game space?” the white one asked.

“There’s really no other explanation other than that, nyaa.”, the black one rudely pointed her finger towards Aktzin without looking at him, “He wants to cheat his way through, but he’s also a very convenient adversary for us, nyaa. Don’t you want to test your limits?”

The white one looked at Aktzin for a very brief moment out of curiosity, but immediately returned her sights to the black one, “Where are the others?”

A bit of annoyance rose through Aktzin’s mind, but he immediately calmed himself down, because he’s the big guy and today’s a monumental day, “Children, tell me where we are.”

But as if they didn’t hear him speak, the two Cat-people continued to ignore him, “They are also taking care of the other cheaters, nyaa… Though I’m a bit worried about Sona-chan since she’s all alone and the match-up could be bad.”

“Bad? How bad?”

“She’s against a God of Sea and Medusa-chan actually put her and him in a Sea Stage, nyaa.”

The white thought about it for a moment before nodding, “There shouldn’t be any problem.”

“Eh? How can you be so sure?”

“Actually, all this while, Sona-neesan has been holding herself back. I don’t know what she’s trying to keep hidden, but I think this will be her chance to let loose.”

At this point, Aktzin finally lost his patience and raised his arm toward them. Within a few seconds, a large Magic Circle appeared in the sky above the Cat-people before a pillar of blue lightning struck down.

Kuroka and Koneko instantly looked up when they felt power converge above them and hurriedly jumped back to avoid the lightning that created a crater on the ground, “Ho? Looks like the two of you have some abilities. Good job avoiding death, but there won’t be next time. Answer me, children. Where are we?”

Contrary to his expectations, Kuroka and Koneko only looked at him briefly once again before returning to what they were discussing, “…Holding back, nyaa…? I can only think of one thing, but I heard it’s very dangerous. Well, Sera-chan should be watching her closely… Anyways, do you want to go first, or should we do it together?”

“You’ll let me do it first?”

“Don’t look down on yourself. Aside from experience, you can already match my battle prowess, nyaa. And if we go even more technical, you’re much more capable of destruction than me, since I’m more of a controller.”

Aktzin snapped and his pride hurt, “I don’t care anymore. I’ll figure it out myself.” Raising his arm once again, Magic Circles formed in the sky once again, but this time there were five of them, covering a much larger area.

However, as the lightning struck down, he didn’t see any ‘panicked’ movements that he’d seen earlier. Instead, both of them disappeared and it was already too late for him to realize that there was a fist coming straight towards his face, “Wha-?!”

With a enough force to blow off the head of a high-level Adventurer, Koneko successfully landed a punch on the arrogant God’s face, but she felt like she was punching an insanely hard brick wall even though she sent him flying, ‘Is this a God’s basic defense or is he just sturdier than normal?’ she asked herself, but she’s leaning towards the former.

Aktzin stopped himself in midair while holding his bleeding red nose with a face full of hate, “You imbecile. Unforgivable.”

This time, without any gesture, Aktzin’s blue eyes lit up and several smaller Magic Circles appeared and surrounded Koneko instantly and each of them sent out a bolt of lightning. But the same as before, Koneko disappeared from her spot and reappeared behind Aktzin.

Even then, a God was still a God and he immediately figured out the weakness of the strange instant acceleration and was able to turn around to block a leg sweep from the white cat with his left arm.

Koneko had sent a considerable force behind her kick and was surprised that she wasn’t even able to move the blue-haired God. Aktzin used this slight lapse in concentration and counterattacked with his right fist aiming for Koneko’s stretched-out leg.

Koneko realized the threat behind the punch that could cave her knee in and hurriedly rotated her body to dodge it and used the air as a foothold to initiate a Flash Step to retreat and gain some distance.

Nevertheless, Koneko’s Flash Step wasn’t as refined as Kisuke’s nor Yoruichi’s so she made so much ‘noise’ that it was easy for her opponent to predict where she’d be stepping out. And as Koneko did, she noticed that several Magic Circles were already pointed in her direction, ready to fry her.

Koneko gritted her teeth and balled herself up while summoning her Soul Gear.

Tens of lightning bolts struck Koneko and momentarily covered her with blinding light.

Aktzin knew that he’d hit her this time but something felt weird, so he kept his senses heightened in case another surprise attack appeared and he was especially wary of the black cat, ‘Still nothing from her? Who are these people anyway? They aren’t Deities yet she was able to exchange fists with me.’

Aktzin’s bolts of lightning finally let up, but he could only narrow his brows as he saw the little girl of before had transformed into a mature form with four metallic white wings sprouting white flames behind her, white gauntlets, boots, and a chest plate.

Aktzin also noticed the four white tails swaying behind her and asked, “Just what are you people?”

Now that the euphoria of descending had faded, he could now think calmly and it was only now that he found the entire situation extremely weird.
