Chapter 897 Aktzin vs Koneko & Kuroka part 3
The lightning beams that Koneko was not capable of ‘eating’ were deflected to the sides and resulted in the ground around her melting.
While Aktzin was investing more and more of his Divine Power, Koneko’s temporary capacity was already beyond her limits and because of this, veins and muscles began to pop and rupture all over her body. While she was frantically moving her Healing Ki around her body, it wasn’t enough to offset the damages she was receiving.
Even then, Koneko persevered. Because the moment Aktzin’s pressure on her weakened, it’d be the moment of her counterattack, ‘I just have to hold on…’ she thought while blood was already trying to seep through her orifices.
And after a few very long seconds, Koneko’s gamble emerged victorious with Aktzin’s attack finally ceasing due to him fearing an overheat would only bite him back if he’s not sure he could finish her off. Not to mention, the black cat was still watching from afar, which he already assumed had a similar strength as the white one in front of him.
Koneko, on the other hand, was not as calm as him with a big grin that was a little crazed forming on her face, ‘Chance!’
As the last bit of the lightning beam began to dissipate, the blue translucent barrier reemerged, but instead of protecting her, it exploded towards the direction of attack, dispersing it completely, “Culverin!”
Instead of returning to her sides like before, the gigantic kite shield broke up into pieces and started to fuse with the mechanical arms as Koneko raised them in front of her. Within just a second, the mechanical arms fused together and formed a large rectangular gun barrel and pointed it towards Aktzin.
Koneko’s seventh white flame tail then rapidly receded as Ki filled up the inside of the barrel and overloaded it, “Fire!”
Return fire in the form of a bluish white beam of pure destructive Ki pierced through the air and approached Aktzin and he estimated this to be as strong as his previous attack, if not stronger, “Kuh!!!”
But as he was not fettered like Koneko was earlier, Aktzin was able to dodge the beam of destruction despite being surprised. However, Koneko wouldn’t waste this chance and she still wasn’t done yet, “Bloom!”
Thirty meters after passing by Aktzin, Koneko’s attack exploded into hundreds of smaller pieces and each of them started to homing in towards Aktzin.
The Deity looked behind him and clicked his tongue in annoyance. Electric arcs began to cover his whole body resulting in an overall improvement in his physical parameters, especially his speed, and he started dodging these bluish-white bullets that weren’t very strong by themselves, but could be dangerous if he were to be stunned by being hit by a few of them and the rest decimated him.
Akztin kept twisting his body to dodge and zapping the bullets to destroy them, but after almost a minute of doing so, he figured that this wasn’t the way so he flew close to the ground in an attempt to make them crash into themselves. Although he was fast after strengthening himself, he couldn’t outfly the bullets as they were pure energy so he still had to zap them and dodge.
Inevitably, however, a few of these bullets still hit him. They were not strong individually as expected, but a wrong hit could still be dangerous.
‘It’ll be too tiring if I keep dodging all of them. I should let the non-dangerous one through since they aren’t going to hurt me anyway.’
But that line of thinking was what Koneko was waiting for. As soon as she saw him change his approach, Koneko muttered, “Blitz.”
Aktzin heard her soft voice but decided not to act on it because he’d already flown quite far away from her. And if she were to catch up using her Flash Step, he’d be able to immediately respond, ‘I first have to deal with these annoying things.’
More than a twelfth of the bullets had already been dealt with and it also seemed like he had already reached the edge of this artificial space so he had to turn around, ‘Just a few more seconds…’ He thought to himself while letting one bullet approaching from behind hit him. But before it could make contact, a sudden premonition of death sprouted in his consciousness and he immediately abandoned what he was doing to hurriedly change the trajectory of his flight.
An instant later, that ‘bullet’ that he let come near him cut from his left shoulder until his right flank where his neck had just been if he didn’t move away, “Gah!!!”
He immediately turned around and saw the ‘bullet’ was actually his opponent who unknowingly already caught up to him, ‘How!?’
The flaming cat’s strange armor had changed once again, and this time it was focused on her lower body with chakram blades made out of white flames rotating fiercely on the side of her ankles.
For Aktzin, this type of armament was a pretty common one among the Deities and most of them are called, ‘Chariot!?’
At that point, he finally understood how her armor works.
Aktzin thought that Koneko would continue the attack but he was shocked to see her retreat with an excessive speed before disappearing among the bullets that were still chasing after him.
Of course, he tried to search for her but her aura seemed to have completely disappeared among the surroundings and the only thing he could do now is to do what he had already been doing, taking care of all of the homing bullets. But before he could readjust his senses, another threat of death emerged from behind him. In response, he deployed a Magic Circle behind him and a layer of water covered his back.
The attack he had been waiting for, however, was not what he was expecting as he felt a normal bullet hit him from that direction. With this very short lapse of concentration, however, it was already too late for him to realize that the blades of white flame were about to cut his head in half.
Without much choice, Aktzin used his right hand to catch the blade. As a result, four of his fingers were instantly detached from his hand, but in exchange, he was able to push himself away from the drop kick of death.
Seeing his blood splattered, Aktzin finally lost it, “UNFORGIVABLE!”
With an explosion of Divine Power, another golden pillar covered his body, this time, however, blasting through the artificial space and reaching the outside world.
This explosion forced Koneko to retreat back and reconsider her options as she saw a Warhammer and an ax forming in both of his hands.
