Chapter 29:
Livestream Hero
• Chapter #29: [OBSERVATION]
I still cannot decide if I’ll intervene this time. I want to, since I have my LightSeeker disguise, but then, I could also just order Miyanase to kick them out of her world. The LightWays Media’s situation back on Earth is also getting more problematic.
“Hey, Miyanase.”, I called her. She turned to me, still drinking the float.
“How did you find me?”, I asked her. She stopped drinking, and looked on her lap, as if contemplating.
“… It’s the Lady of Slumber.”, She softly muttered.
Hmm… Looks like PeaceLife did something behind me…
“… And the Devil’s Wisdom had told me about you…”, She finished, returning back to her drink.
“I see…”, I replied simply. Tch, that manipulator. I know that he’s doing something, no, all of them were doing something involving me.
Leaving that at the back of my mind, my gaze pans to the scene below us.
As expected of AstroSuit, he still kept Hiro pinned down, unable to do anything but watch as he slowly wore down the Union and Hiro’s group members. His complete Skill over Gravity is really great, as when he touched his opponent, they're basically just objects for him to control.
Meanwhile, most of the females of Hiro’s group were fighting against Tatsumi and AstroSuit’s partner, Ace. Lisa, was locked on a one on one battle against Tatsumi’s partner. It seems that the woman is also a Supreme Rank.
“Hmmm?”, I raised an eyebrow, as I gazed at Shido. It looks like he’s trying to channel his Holy Attribute to the Dark Seal that’s binding him. Pretty good.
…
‘Dammit…! Faster…!’, Shido desperately thought, as he channeled his Holy Attribute to the Dark Seal, in order to weaken it.
His clothes, were also assisting him in breaking the seal. It wasn’t just normal clothes after all, it had an Enchantment that allowed it to purify it’s wearer’s body from impurities and other abnormalities.
“Don’t do anything naughty.”, One of the Black Zodiac members, mockingly warned him. Though from the looks of it, they still haven’t realized what Shido was doing.
Shido’s response was a scowl and a glare that contrasted his light.
…
“Hohohoho! I never did thought that I’d be surrounded by many girls, fighting over me.”, Tatsumi teased, grinning at the infuriated looks that Misa, Emiya, Kurumi, & Yuki sent him.
“Now, now, please don’t look at me like that, it ruins your beautiful faces.”, Tatsumi further added, looking at them ‘worriedly’.
The girls' response was to grit their teeth and glare at him in contempt. If looks could kill, Tatsumi’s flames would be overpowered by their searing gazes, and he would be nothing but a smoking crater.
As they thought on how to end the chunni, said guy made a pose, covering his right eye and grinning.
“Come, I’ll let you taste true darkness before you’re consumed by my flames.”, He whispered, enough for them to hear. His voice was rustic, while his left eye shone in red light.
…
*Bam!*
Another wave of gravity lashed out, sending some Union members knocked off and flying.
“Guha!”
“Ackkk!”
“Just stay strong! We need to keep pushing on!”, Hiro attempted to raise his comrades spirits back up, which is proving to be ineffective now.
“Hoh? Didn’t had enough, aren’t ya?”, AstroSuit said to Hiro. With that, he raised the area of effect. Now, it wasn’t just Hiro’s arms, but his whole body.
*Crack…*
*Rumble!*
Hiro’s body sank on the ground, as the gravity well became stronger. Blood was now flowing from his body, as he could just close his eyes and grit his teeth in both anger and pain.
AstroSuit continued to toy Hiro and other Union members. In doing so, he didn’t sense a man sneaking up to him until it was late.
AstroSuit tilted his head, as an axe passed by a hair’s breath away. Instead of hitting his head, it instead impacted on his shoulder, causing him to sag quite a bit and his suit to be heavily dented.
He attempted to grab the assaulter, only for him to jump away. The axe that rested on AstroSuit’s shoulder was removed, revealing a small wound.
“Good thing I have my suit on, or else it would’ve been worse. Don’t you agree, Mayers?”, AstroSuit asked his opponent. Inwardly, he was smirking at the prospect of finally fighting seriously.
“Hmph. Let us play.”, Mayers said, raising his axe towards AstroSuit.
“Very well.”
[Meteor]
AstroSuit manipulated his own body’s gravity, allowing him to move faster and hit harder.
[Gaia Rakshasa]
Tony’s axe glinted in silver, vibrating as it emitted a rather loud sound. Anticipating AstroSuit’s trajectory, he swung, sending a large, silver wave towards him.
It was dodged by AstroSuit, who continued to gaze on where it hit.
*Boom!*
An explosion was created as the attack hit the ground, leaving an extraordinary crater that looked like it was slashed by a giant, bladed weapon.
“Heh…”, AstroSuit said in amusement, charging at Mayers once more. As the two continued to duke it out, Lisa and the woman had been locked in a stalemate. Upon Mayers’ appearance, Lisa nodded in satisfaction.
“Don’t get distracted in a battle.”, The woman said, as she prepared her magic.
[Crimson Rain]
Large amounts of crimson droplets were sent to Lisa. Some had hit on the ground and on Lisa’s ice, immediately dissolving it. Narrowing her eyes, Lisa understood what it did and prepared her counter.
[Crystal Mist]
Cold wind blew, freezing the droplets into crimson ice. If it dissolved anything that it touched, then just use energy to freeze it.
Following up her attack, Lisa didn’t give the enemy a chance.
[Rime World]
Everything halted, as the world froze around them. The lady stopped in her tracks as she witnessed what was happening. The other three had noticed too and had stopped their bout momentarily.
Suddenly, something in the woman’s clothes flashed. Picking it up, it revealed to be a Communication Crystal. She received the message.
“Dammit…! Someone was already here! The bastard crushed us immediately, we couldn’t even touch the Deity!”, The old man screamed in frustration and anger.
Frowns immediately went to the lady, Tatsumi, and the other 2 Supreme Ranks. Initially, she had wondered on why the old man chose to call now. However, upon hearing that someone had crushed 4 Supreme Ranks, 3 who possesses incredible teamwork, she put her thought of his strange call timing at the back of her mind.
Someone far powerful than them was here, and he/ she’s ruining everything.
However, Lisa was very calm. In fact, she even smiled upon hearing what the old man said. It was a look that made the cloaked lady uncomfortable.
“Welcome to my world.”, Lisa calmly said. The reason why the enemy signal had just surfaced now is because every signal was sealed when she activated her snowstorm barrier. However, when she activated her ice world, the signals had returned, but the area became under her control, making her enemy at disadvantage, being caught on her ice world.
The lady frowned.
“We wasted our time then…”, She muttered, before contemplating for a bit.
“Quick, let us regroup. Be careful.”, She regarded the other two Supreme Ranks.
[Blood Vengeance]
Mayers raised his axe, a blood colored aura surrounding his body. Immediately, all monsters on the area started bleeding, staining the ground till they fell down dead and suddenly they raised again into bloodthirsty monsters dyed in crimson.
He then charged towards the retreating Black Zodiacs.
At this time, Shido also broke free of the seal. He released immense amounts of light, burning and blinding everyone around him, before he quickly retrieved his sword and assisted Hiro.
…
I watched as the tide of the battle was slowly coming into the Union’s favor.
“Hmm… I guess that was a good decision.”, I nodded in satisfaction, as what I had done helped them. [Plotter’s Discernment] is very useful indeed.
“… A-Are we going to get them out?”, Miyanase asked, looking down on the people below.
“I guess so? They’ve did a good job in trapping the enemy.”, I said to her.
“O-Okay…”, Miyanase softly said, before she stood up. My gaze following her, she raised her hands. She then muttered some unknown language, and her dull eyes glinted in power. Runes were now circling on her pupils.
*Rumble*
The monument rumbled, as the black gate slowly cracked. Red energy was seeping from the cracks.
*Creak!*
*Krk!*
*Crack!*
*BOOM!*
The giant door imploded, it’s pieces being sucked in towards the fizzling red energy of the portal.
“I guess it’s time for me to join later too…”, I muttered, letting out a silent sigh.
