Chapter 86: Udana’s Pursuers

Chapter 86: Udana’s Pursuers

Udana continues walking through the mansion.

She senses movement behind her. She stops and turns around, facing the darkness behind her.

“I know you are there. You might as well show yourselves.”

Three figures step out of the shadows.

The first is a tall, fat man with spiky blue hair.

Daykona’s Henchman – Grape

Beside him stands a woman with short, neck-length black hair.

Daykona’s Henchwoman – Fisha

The third is a skinny bald man with very long arms and legs.

Daykona’s Henchman – Bano

Udana narrows her eyes, staring at them with a serious expression. “I see that Daykona has finally discovered my infiltration, if she is sending you three after me.”

“That’s right,” Fisha says, smirking. “We’ve trained. We’re E-rank in magic now. You’re just a dead woman walking… old friend.”

“It’s a shame,” Udana replies calmly, “but I can’t call anyone who goes against Kogen a friend.”

She draws her sword. “Sword, brown.”

The blade’s color changes, turning to dirt brown.

“Let’s go!” Fisha shouts.

All three rush her at once. Grape lunges forward, trying to grab Udana, but she easily sidesteps to dodge and kicks him away.

“Try dodging this!” Bano shouts as his arms stretch unnaturally toward her.

“Extension Magic, huh?” Udana says. “Beam Tether.”

A glowing tether of energy shoots from her free hand, wrapping around Bano’s arm and stopping it mid-reach.

“These are for you!” Fisha yells, throwing a wave of magic ninja darts.

With smooth movements, Udana maneuvers through them effortlessly.

“What!?” Fisha shouts in shock.

“Do you take me for an amateur?” Udana replies.

She dashes toward Bano and kicks him straight into Grape’s grasp. The moment Grape unintentionally catches him, electricity surges through Bano’s body, electrocuting him.

“I see,” Udana says coolly. “Conduction Magic. You transfer effects into anyone you grab. How amusing.”

Grape drops Bano, who tears free from the tether as Fisha charges forward in fury.

“Why don’t you use your sword, you wretch!?”

Udana blocks and dodges Fisha’s flurry of punches and chops, then lands two quick gut strikes followed by a sweeping kick that sends her flying back.

“You want me to use my sword?” Udana says. “Fine.”

“You will die, woman!” Grape roars.

Udana fires her Beam Tether again, wrapping it around Grape’s arm. She pulls herself onto it, and slashes down with her brown blade, severing his arm.

Fisha and Bano stare in shock, seeing the detached arm remain connected to Grape’s body by a glowing brown magical line extending from Udana’s sword.

“What kind of magic is that!?” Fisha screams.

“I can do this when my sword is brown,” Udana answers. “You need not worry.”

Fisha and Bano charge again.

“Once the shock wore off, I realized it doesn’t help you!” Bano yells. “We’re going to destroy you!”

Udana smirks. “Is that what you think?”

She thrusts the severed arm forward under her control. Fisha dodges, but Bano is grabbed. Ice spreads instantly, freezing him solid.

“I can use my victim’s magic against you,” Udana says.

“You’re a dead woman!” Fisha yells. “Take this!”

She unleashes a barrage of spherical energy attacks.

Udana takes several hits while controlling the arm. Her clothes tear, but she remains standing.

“That’s all the damage she took!?” Fisha gasps.

“How did she get so powerful!?” Grape shouts.

Udana chuckles. “You are about to see just how inferior all three of you are.”

Bano breaks free of the ice and screams, “Ugh!!! Just kill her!!!”

Enraged, he charges forward, extending both arms and a leg straight for Udana.

“Sword, blue.” Udana says calmly.

Her blade changes color. The severed arm drops to the floor, no longer attached to anything.

Before Bano’s attack reaches, Udana slashes the air, unleashing a blue wave of magic energy that repels Bano’s attack and smashes him into a wall. A second later, she throws her sword, which pierces through his neck. He dies almost instantly.

“You stupid piece of trash!!” Fisha screams. “I will kill you!!”

“Why so angry?” Udana asks calmly. “It’s not like he was your family.”

“Don’t mock me!”

Udana dodges Fisha’s punches, kicks her in the jaw, then retrieves her sword from Bano’s body.

“Sword, red.”

The blade glows deep red.

With only one arm left, Grape lunges desperately, trying to grab her.

Udana leaps, escaping his vision entirely.

“Huh?” Grape mutters. “Where did she go?”

“You idiot!” Fisha shouts. “She’s above you!”

Udana comes down and decapitates him with one clean slash.

“My red sword is the most lethal.” she says as she lands on the floor, looking at Fisha.

Fisha’s fury turns to terror. She trembles in fear, speechless.

“What’s wrong?” Udana asks. “I thought you wanted me to use my sword.”

“You’re a demon!” Fisha shouts, her fear rising. “Humans can’t be this efficient! Not three against one!”

“You clearly don’t understand anything,” Udana replies. “Let me end your stupidity.”

She charges straight for Fisha, who throws magic darts and a barrage of magic energy attacks, but she blocks and dodges with ease.

“Nooooo!!!!” Fisha screams, knowing there is nothing else she can do.

Death flashes before Fisha’s eyes as Udana stabs her in the abdomen with her sword. Fisha coughs up blood as she collapses while Udana pulls her sword out.

Images flash through her mind of the ninja Sasha annihilated, assuming that Udana was the one who defeated him.

“I’m sorry… brother,” Fisha whispers. “I failed to avenge you…”

Udana starts walking away as Fisha just lies there on the ground, dying.

“Yes… I see it now…” Fisha mutters weakly. “I’ll see you in Hell, Udana. I just know it… I will get my revenge there…”

Udana glances back.

“Maybe one day you will get that chance,” she says. “But it won’t be any time soon.”

She continues walking away while Fisha laughs quietly, and then dies.

Udana activates her communication device. “Bethro, we’re almost done here. Gather any remaining test subjects. I have one last thing to do, and then we’re leaving.”

In a three-against-one fight, Udana utterly dominated opponents whose powers were on the same level as the heroes! Just how powerful are Kogen and his followers?!
