Berserk Fox I
'All I do is get in trouble one after the other... tonight is not my night'.
The woman thought, spitting blood with her body covered in torn rags, regarding the boy floating up in the black and white limbo skies, wielding a white armour.
"You're an even stronger opponent than I anticipated, what did you say her name was again, Le Fay?" He asked one of the girls from the group of people that was surrounding her.
It didn't look like a situation where she was going to live to tell the tale.
"Hasshaku-sama, she's an ancient Japanese Youkai, Vali. She used to be the leader of the Youkai faction until it was disbanded in two regions; East and West. Her myth is very infamous and she went missing around two centuries ago. Be careful, this is not her Youkai form which means she isn't fighting seriously" The girl stated, floating in what looked to be a broom, reading a book.
Her words irritated the boy inside the white draconic armour, "Even when you're this fucked up, you still won't fight me seriously? Hasshaku-sama or whatever, aren't you underestimating me a bit too much?"
"Maybe you're too young to be taken seriously, Vali".
"Shut up, Cao Cao".
Hasshaku-sama, the ancient Youkai, surveyed her situation. It had all been too sudden. All she wanted was peace and yet war was brought to her doorsteps.
'There are ten of them and three of us, it is not looking good. I also can't retreat... they have someone skilled in manipulating dimensions. On top of that, this is the Vanishing Dragon, the Hakuryuukou... to think it was reincarnated in a devil brat, how is that possible? is he a hybrid?'.
She mumbled, trying to reach a solution that wouldn't present itself. There was no point in showing all of her cards when there wasn't even a plan of survival. Behind her were Yuki and Anna who were on their guard against a pair of ladies.
A blonde one in armour and another Youkai that she recognised, a nekoshou.
Vali, Kuroka, Bikou, Le Fay, Arthur. Cao Cao, Georg, Jeanne, Heracles, Perseus.
"You may be covered in a white armour but all I see is a spineless brat, wouldn't it be an insult to myself if I took you seriously?~"
"You're too prideful for a woman that's about to die. A decent prey but if you won't show me the best of you, I'll just kill you and take the girl, that's all".
<DIVIDE!>
<DIVIDE!>
A draconian voice stated and Kuu felt how her legs started giving away, cursing inwardly that annoying power of his.
"Kuu-chan!" Anna screamed and flickered from her position to try and hold her before her knees hit the floor.
"Anna, wait!" Sanae and Yuki warned but it was all for nought.
"Where do you think you're going nya~?" the phantom of a black cat manifested next to Anna, bearing claws of her own.
"Leave me alone!"
*CLAANGG!!*
*CLAANGG!!*
*CLAANGG!!*
"You're not half bad, girl. Are you sure you don't want to join us nya~? we will have a lot of fun!"
Anna engaged against the black cat, Kuroka but her attention was all placed on Hasshaku-sama, although they had fought each other, although they had started as enemies. This woman had been protecting them.
"I still remember you from three years ago. What a surprise to find you here, Girl. Where is the boy? Osiris? isn't he with you?" A man Ray would recognise was standing among the crowd, he was Heracles.
Anna was too busy fighting Kuroka to pay attention, the black cat giggled, she began reciting some sort of chant and drawing purple writings before a cluster of purple chains manifested and started entangling her.
"Ah!?"
"You're powerful but inexperienced".
"Leave my daughter alone!" Sanae screamed only to be put a sword against her throat by Jeanne D' Arc. Yuki looked at the situation totally helpless and wishing to come up with a solution, but how? They were completely surrounded and each and every single one of them was a powerful bastard.
"Shut up, weaklings... this doesn't even have anything to do with you. Do you think I have forgotten about you, Yuki?" Cao Cao hummed, walking up to him and even going as far as to pat Yuki's shoulder.
"Have you realised how fucked up you are?"
"..."
"Back then all you had to do was come with us to Yasaka's wedding, it would have been a success, Yuki... but you had to mess it all up. Now we will mess you up".
The Shinchu bit his lips and decided to go all or nothing, he couldn't just leave his wife and daughter to be captured by these people.
'I'll just transform and gamble it all' He gave a look to Hasshaku-sama who was regarding him with the same gaze.
Sacrifice all.
With a swift motion Cao Cao's spear waved, he realised their intentions and went straight for the kill.
Or at least that's what he tried.
WHOOOOSHH!!*
As swift as lightning, five claws travelled faster than sun light and shining just as much, coming from the skies to slice everything in their path!
"Careful!"
A member of the Hero Faction, Georg, was the first to realise the overwhelmingly pungent killing intent coming from the skies.
*BOOOOOOMMMMM!!!
They tore and melted everything in their path, the power so strong that the whole subdimension quivered.
*CLAANGG!!*
"HAAAA!!"
Cao Cao didn't back off, his Longinus spear met one of the claws head-on and split it in half.
<Divide!>
The vanishing dragon took on a claw of his own first dividing it in size before smashing his fist forward against it.
*BOOOOOMMMMM!!!*
That attack knew no mercy. Hasshaku-sama immediately went to the action realising the distraction and flickered across, picking up Anna, Yuki and Sanae and taking them away from the way of those claws.
"It's Yasaka-sama!" Sanae remaked, looking at the skies where a humongous shadow descended like a punishment from the heavens.
'Yasaka? Has she gone insane!?' Kuu grit her teeth at the devastation caused by such a casual attack, five gnashing burning scars in this sacred mountain, going past the snow and slicing deep into the rock, they'd never disappear.
*BOOOOOOOOMMMM!!!*
The gargantuan fox and her ten tails fell heavily on the battlefield, seemingly stopping the blizzard with just her cheers splendour. It was as if the sun had descended.
"Was Yasaka Okami... this big back then?" Georg stuttered.
"No, she's bigger..." Jeanne D' Arc gawked.
Not only was she at least three times bigger. She had an extra tail and a body blazing with golden flames. She was like the avatar of the sun, but this avatar right now didn't represent the hopes and prosperity that the noble worshippers expected from the sun.
Instead, there was a bloodthirst that could hardly be quenched unless every single one of those assailants was massacred.
"CAO CAO!"
Billowed the kitsune with a voice that could only come from the abyss, upon regarding the man she had been desperately trying to pull out of the shadows for the last three years, the man who slaughtered her previous mate and almost killed her and her daughter. When she came here today, she wasn't expecting to meet not only him but his whole bunch, at all.
"It is safe to assume neither of us expected to meet here, Yasaka" Cao Cao merely smirked while regarding her gigantic silhouette, she looked like a total monster worth hunting.
"So that's Yasaka Okami, the ten-tailed fox, sounds interesting!" Vali didn't hold back at all, with a flash he flickered across the skies and appeared right next to Yasaka.
*BOOOOOOMMMMMMMM!!!*
"UGH!"
[Vali!]
What received him was the merciless strike of one of her humongous tails, each of them as big as a ten-story building and surely weighing just as much, that tail moved at a ridiculous speed that even he couldn't perceive; striking him down, shattering the armour and sending the vanishing dragon flying like a miserable rag doll.
Even then, Yasaka didn't put that boy in her eyes from the start, in her eyes there was only Cao Cao.
"I WILL SLAUGHTER ALL OF YOU RIGHT HERE!"
*RUMBLE!!*
Her tails all pointed towards her mouth and a big ball began forming in it, causing immediate shuddering among Khaos Brigade's members.
'Is she planning to release that attack right here!?'
