Beyond The World Plan

Chapter 40 - Ch.40: Hit and Run

In front of me, there is a red haired girl called Maria. She suddenly attacked me and cut the whole tree nearby just to take off my head from my body. I manage to dodge it and the battle goes on.

I use [Life Drain] to search through her memory information about someone who sent her here and turned out to be the hero itself, Asahi. This girl surely affected by his [Charm] long enough until she messed her life by herself. He really didn't care about the life of girls he takes on. She become crazy of him until the point she will die for him if he asked to. What a terrible guy.

I pity of her but I can't do nothing about it. She has fallen too far so it will be difficult to change her mind. Also, because of my provocation, the aura arround her suddenly change. It become tense enough to make people can passed out. She become more serious to kill me and this pick my interest.

My face is smiling, thinking about how long I will enjoying this. I hope it long enough to make me more serious than now. It's not like I am not serious from start but, I want to see how strong she is so I provoke her from the start. This will be a turning point of the battle when she will let out all of her strength and I will fight her seriously start from now. I will not use <Spirit's Eye> to measure her strength since it will become more interisting if I do not know how tough she is. Let it be a mistery and have a fun battle.

Oh right, I almost forgot about her.

"Hey Beelz, do you want to take the audience seat or join me?"

She come out from my shadow where she hid since I fought her.

"You asking me? The answer is obvious, right? Moreover that girl made me do something stupid that I never thought ever." (Beelzebub)

She thinking about revenge instead of really helping me as her contractor, huh. Well, that's how 'Spirit of Evil' mindset though. With a wicked smile from her, a fearful dark aura coming from her. It make me shiver even though she is on my side.

"You dare to mock me with talking alone again me. You sure will be a dead man now!" (Maria)

Her body covered with red blood aura and with a step she dash with high speed thrusting her sword. I am not ready with her move so I only can make a defense move and as a result I thrown back dozen swords away from where I stood before (1 sword = 92 cm)

"Hey are you serious want to fight her?" (Beelzebub)

"Well, that's unexpected but it's only make me pumped up."

I standing up with a smirk on my face. Picking up my swords on the ground, I dash to her quicker from her speed before. Of course she surprises seeing me approaching her so fast but she quickly react with swinging her sword around. Her reaction become faster thanks to her red aura flowing out from her body. Theoritically, it's impossible for me to change my trajectory with this speed but I am used with high speed movement. I can see what she did clearly and can react quickly too.

When my distance around 3 swords away from her, I step aside to her left and use [Mana Blade] to attack her. It easily break when touch her sword and thanks to that she stopped swinging her sword. After screeching the ground, I running to her while casting [Ice Spike] and [Flame Shot].

She surprises knowing me can use two elements magic and casts both of them at the same time without chanting. She hide behind her sword to avoid herself getting injured, but it makes her can't move from her place.

I jumped over her and when on the air, Beelz release [Dark Ball] aiming for her head. Even though she try to hit her head but somehow it feels like she pushing herself to not using too much power. When I reach the ground, dust surrounding her.

"That's will be a lot of damage to her." (Beelzebub)

She smug proudly looking at the result of her attack.

"Are you sure that's not too weak? You do not have to hold yourself, you know?"

She pouting her mouth like a child now.

"You should be thanking me to not kill her or else you can't add more nunber in your harem." (Beelzebub)

"I'm not creating a harem."

From the dust, an attack approaching me. I use my swords to stop the attack. The dust start to fade and Maria still standing on her place unharmed with her sword pointing at me. Around her, the aura protecting her from Beelz's attack. Beelz surprises that her attack failed to dealt a damage to her.

"What?" (Beelzebub)

"See, I told you to not holding yourself."

Looking at Maria, her faces become more annoyed than before.

"Those one was a good trick to try to kill me but unfortunately for you, I have this [Scale Barrier] with me. You will never going to hurt me with such a cheap trick like that." (Maria)

She swings her sword and I also swing my left sword to parry her. Unfortunately for me that her power is greater than me. My sword sent flying with her sword and make me to choose retreat from her. She not letting me go with aiming for my leg but it's still too easy to read. I step on her sword and try my best to keep it on the ground but I can't.

I pretend to reach my back with my left hand and take three daggers out from my [Dimension Storage]. Jump on her sword like the first time, but now I leap behind and throw away the daggers to her. She let the daggers reach her body and they are thrown away when touch her. The aura make her unscratched with just a simple hit. I smirk because this will make me pumped up with seriousness.

"Beelz, prepare your [Dark Veil]."

"What!? Are you trying to run a way from her. I will not allow that!" (Beelzebub)

"Don't get it wrong. I won't run so just do as I say"

"Alright, but let me remind you. If you get injured, you will be seen again." (Beelzebub)

"I know."

I put back the sword I held and take out more daggers from the storage. She slam down the ground with sword and I move aside and throwing her the daggers I held continously. She trying to hit me and I dodge it. When the daggers thrown out, I take more from the storage and it become an endless loop. Of course it will not affect her since she covered by her [Scale Barrier] but that's not a problem. Also, I have a ton of daggers in the storage and what I throw just some garbages dagger that I won't use. All I need is to make her focus to the daggers throw.

"Heh, where is your pride as a warrior to have a battle with a pathetic way like this!?" (Maria)

Still throwing daggers, I response her.

"In the first place I am not a swordsman so I don't care with your so called pride. Just do all you want to hit me but I am sure that you can't."

More words come out of my mouth, more annoyed she become. Moreover, with my 'pathetic' way of fighting, she couldn't contain her rage anymore.

"I'm getting tired of this so don't blame me if your body will be not recognized by anyone!" (Maria)

"Yeah, time to end this."

She makes a stance and prepare to go all out with her best move. The aura that protecting her all this time move to her sword. A terrifying power store in one sword. Just one slash enough to let me be a dead man.

I draw my sword and I pick up my sword that was sent flying before. With a grin, dark mist surrounding the area and make field of view limited.

"You think you can run? Take THIS! [Banishing Slash]!" (Maria)

One swing enough to blow up all of the [Void Mist]. She targeting where I stand but no one is there.

"Tsk, he escaped." (Maria)

A second after she saying that, she can feel a scratch and her cheek is bleeding. After that, many sword slashes landed on her body. Her body full of wound. She searched where the attack come from but she can't. She try to move her sword but there is no strength left in her body. Her [Banishing Slash] took out every bit of her strength out.

After around 50 slashes landed on her body, I stop attacking and tell Beelz to cancel the veil. She stare full of hatred to me since my body could be seen again. My swords covered with her blood and some of them are on my clothes. She start to lose her conciousness and lose her balance.

Looking at her, I feel pity for her. She fell to the ground and didn't move a single tip afterward. Blood come out from her body endlessly. I approaching her body and check her pulse.

"She is dead."

I stand up after checking her condition and put my swords back to its places.

"She ignore her defense for that last move. How unfortunate for her, we maybe can save her." (Beelzebub)

"Oh, that's unusual for you to say that. But as you know that she has fell too far and nothing we can do about that. Moreover, I have no intention to save her."

"Really, doesn't you want to add more girl to your harem?" (Beelzebub)

"Not gonna do. I am not like the perverted hero who can't hold his hand when there is a woman near him."

I walk away and go to check Cecil's progress on the Frenzy bear.

"That's interisting you can say that after what you do to your slave girl." (Beelzebub)

Hearing that, my feet stopped and turn my body to her places.

"What do you mean?"

"So you not realize what you do, huh?" (Beelzebub)

"Just get to the point."

"Your [Soul Link] change her personality." (Beelzebub)
