Chapter 25:

Triple Threat! (Part 2)

My Near-Death Is A Blessing!


(Before the attacking Ghoul Gonu would fight Kokei, Yozuri unsheathes her sword and releases another purple domain before decapitating the head of the Ghoul immediately and begins to fight Kokei as the two clashed swords before fighting one on one now. As the two then strengthened their sword with their powers, Gonu's head then opens its eyes and rolls back onto its headless body before snapping its neck and activating the Venom Blessing by soaking his hands in venom. Kokei understanding the situation would back away quickly to avoid being touched by the attack while striking Gonu's exposed openings and attacking swiftly.)

"Kokei (Thinking): The Ghoul is very reliant on attacking me and not Yozuri.. If cutting it's head won't do the trick, maybe cutting it into pieces will!"

(Kokei immediately wraps his blade in light and heat of the sun and breathes calmly and rushes through the ghoul Gonu at the speed of light with strikes of the sun on every last bit of its body.)

"Kokei (Aloud): Uesaka Sword 19: Sun Beamed Slash!"

(As the strikes glow a bright yellow light, Gonu then screeches loudly as it was then burned into a crisp instead of slashed into pieces as Yozuri then joins back in the fight to attack Kokei as Yozuri's purple eyes glows to control the area around her domain for all nearby objects to be thrown towards Kokei who's sword was continuing to shine with power from the Sun. Kokei slides his left foot back and dashes through the incoming objects, slashing through buildings and cars to get to Yozuri and in a split of a second, Kokei dashes through the speed of light once again and lands a direct it on Yozuri before she suffers a powerful slash of sun as the strike glows and pulses on her as she began expanding her domain further and compresses an entire three story home into a count of 200,000 swords as Yozuri grabbed one of the swords and rockets to Kokei using the levitating street lamps and continues attacking Kokei as the two battled on for minutes on.)

"Yozuri: It seems you've gotten stronger..! But don't forget, my family's not one of the very top of the temple for no reason!"
"Kokei: You brag too much on your egotistical clan of a family, the Uesaka Clan has no reason to involve themselves in petty warfare against other families!"
"Yozuri: That's what makes your family the bottom of the barrel! Ascending into the highest peak of the temple is what all families dream, unlike YOU and your ridiculous clan!"

(Yozuri then continues her sword clash with Kokei while commanding all 199,999 swords to slash Kokei from all sides. Suddenly, the reawakened Gonu jumps high into the air as Kokei was caught off guard for one moment before being punched in the stomach with a venom coated fist and launched out of Yozuri's domain but sent crashing into a billboard as Kokei was now poisoned with a venomous neurotoxin within his body. As Kokei opened one eye, he'd quickly use the sun's ray to teleport out of the attack range and avoided a discus made of venom, slashing through the billboard then crashing onto the ground. Suddenly, the ruckus has finally alerted the Mercenary Association Kokei and Negan has left as an announcement was sent:)

"P.A Systems: WARNING! A Ghoul has been detected in the east vicinity of the city, Category: SS."

(As nearby civilians began panicking and evacuating, Yozuri overheard the announcement and finally understood why the ghoul was targeting Kokei but how its also still alive.)

"Yozuri: No wonder... This Ghoul is a serious threat and if Uesaka couldn't scratch him..."

(As Gonu then stomps on the ground at the poisoned Kokei, the ghoul then activates the Echo blessing and roars loudly to summon rouge ghouls from a 30 mile radius as Kokei was severely in trouble. As a count of 75 Ghouls has arrived, Yozuri rushes to the fight with a stronger domain and stands behind Kokei.)

"Kokei: This is my fight, Yozuri..!!"
"Yozuri: Oh shut up! You're poisoned now because of me, we'll get rid of these Ghouls then go wash you up!"

(As a powerful gust of wind was storming through the fight, a streak of blue rushes through the fight and with a cartwheel into feet skiting across the ground, the first responder was Zatome Yakanei of Kamani Valley Campus with long hair shining in all blue and without asking questions, began fighting as many Ghouls as she did as more of Kamani Valley Campus's legal Mercenaries were responding, along with several official Mercenary Association workers, closing off areas to get in or out of the fight.)

"Zatome: Sir Uesaka! Are you alright?!"

(As the poison began to affect Kokei's sight, he could no longer see but could still stand and hear.)

"Yozuri: He's been poisoned!"
"???: Leave transporting to me!"

(As a powerful spawn of a tornado rises in the air and strikes down in the middle, it was revealed to be Jia carrying Kokei out of harm's way then rushes to the Mercenary Association as Gonu roars and began to follow Jia to continue attacking Kokei but was pinned down by manipulated fabric as Oshibo of Kamani Valley arrived as well to assist.)

"Oshibo: I can keep the Ghoul mastermind detained! Deal with the minions!"
"Zatome: With pleasure, let's roll!"

(Zatome's hair began shining blue before sparking electricity as she jumps into a ball to generate power for every spin. After finishing charging, she'd rush into battle and began knocking around multiple ghouls with excessive force with electricity shocking through their body. While multiple other Mercenaries arrived at the scene, Reize back at the campus looked out the rooftop balcony of Kamani Valley Campus and stared at the explosions in the distance of the main city.)

"Reize: ..."
"???: Are you not going into battle?"

(As Reize realized the feminine and stern voice behind her, she gave a little chuckle but returned to a serious look on the distance.)

"Reize: ...Headmaster Shibuya, I expect your vacation was cut early?"
"Moteki Shibuya (Headmaster | Power: Portal Blessing, Vortex Spirit): The rise of Ghouls were more constant ever since three years ago. So I figured I'd come back."
"Reize: So, did you hear?"
"Moteki: Hear what?"
"Reize: The fight between Zhen and Norikata. Their fight were all caught on association's cameras and it's been deemed classified information to Mercenaries from Category S to X."
"Moteki: Ah, yes. I must admit, the fact the old fossil is still moving around is quite impressive to me."
"Reize: Indeed. And back to your question, the reason I'm not going to battle.. Is because of my abilities. I'm quite a destructive force with my powers.. I've learned that ever since I was a child."
"Moteki: Remember what I've taught you back in finishing school, Hayamitsura. "Powers could be either a gift, a trade, a vow or even a threat. But no matter what path you choose, understand the many consequences that comes when you abuse your power."
"Reize: Hehe... I still have it locked in my head."
"Moteki: ...More ghouls are approaching the fight."
"Reize: Are you positive I can handle this?"
"Moteki: Remember your training, you are the Student Counsel President. I'll watch the students."

(As Reize then looked back in the distance, delivered a small smirk and was then surrounded by a swarm of bats out of the shadows hidden within a massive radius. Meanwhile, Gonu then halts Jia's escape before she could reach the association before Gonu halted with a new order.)

"Saul (Gonu's Mind): Gonu! This is Saul, new order from the Triple Ghoul! Attack all Mercenaries, leave none of them standing!"

(As Gonu's eyes snapped themselves open, he'd roar as Jia summoned a hurricane barrier to protect herself from a venom coated punch. As the punch connected, Jia was saved from being affected by poison but was weak from the legs after the amount of force given as she then summoned another stronger barrier to protect herself and Kokei. After continuous strikes, Gonu then releases a howling echo with the echo blessing while Jia was panicking on her barrier beginning to shatter in mere moments.)
