Chapter 19 - Clash between 2 King Class Monsters

[Later]

Gabriel was over the bus with his legs crossed, while everyone else were inside the bus, and it just jumped over a hill, passing a person who was using vines to bind Ruby.

?: What is this? A bus?

Gabriel got down from the bus while the others came out from the door.

Bus Driver: Hehe… We're here, quite fast eh? Young ones?

Tsukune: You call yourself a bus driver? That was insane! 'I thought we were going to die…'

Bus Driver: Hehe

Ruby started to cry a bit for seeing them coming for her.

?: So… It was your bunch? Seems like you've taken care of my Ruby?

Then she released her own Youki, making the people in front of her but an hand over their faces from the aura that she released, except for Gabriel, who didn't even flinched.

Moka: 'What a strong aura… This must be the 'Master' that Ruby was talking about, she must be a King Class Witch…'

?: Hey… The young witch, we are the same race. I'll give you another chance. Come, I will let you be part of our group. We are far greater than the human race… We will exterminate them all and let them understand who's superior.

But Yukari just hugged Tsukune, meaning that she didn't wanted to.

?: I see… Shame… Then you all will have to die here!!

Then she summoned many monsters with the sunflowers that were in the garden.

Kurumu: Kyaa, what is this…?

Tsukune: Lo...Look! There's something coming out of the sunflower patch…

?: Sunflower patch? Kuku… Look more closely. This is not a sunflower patch at all. You see, plant manipulating magic is my specialty. This is a monster that I've grown with all my care. It's a man eating plant! It's a good chance for me to analyze its combat skills, exterminate them all!!

Gabriel: *Sigh* Then you will not leave me any other choice…

Gabriel walked forward and turned in his true form, making both Ruby and her master flinch.

Gabriel: I will just kill you…

Tsukune: Wait! Gabriel, we can just talk!

Then tsukune turned towards the old lady while Gabriel was killing all the monsters that were attacking them.

Tsukune: We understand your sufferings, for the humans that are trying to destroy the Witch's Knoll… But I will try my best at help each other. A fight would only deepen the wound… Instead of fighting, you should try to understand each other better, and eventually become friends?

Master: Don't make me laugh! What kind of babble is this monster talking about! Trashes like humans will never get along with witches, that day is never going to happen, dieee!!!

Before Gabriel could think to kill another plant that was attacking the rest, suddenly a blade came through it, surprising Ruby's master.

Ruby: Stop… Please stop hurting those people.

Master: Ru… Ruby… You…

Ruby: Master, is it really out of control? Is it true that a battle is the only way to settle this? I… Want to try and believe them…

Then Ruby flew near Tsukune and the others.

Everyone: Ruby!?

Master: ...Ruby…

Gabriel was watching with a smile, but that smile soon left his face.

Gabriel: 'Tsukune… I appreciate your methods… Peace instead of war, even when everyone is against you… But…'

Suddenly, a spear made of branches pierced Ruby's shoulder, making everyone panic and Ruby spit blood.

Master: Every… single… one of you… is a fool. Foolish pests, that's it, I will destroy everything myself.

Then something was glowing from Ruby's master, revealing to be a book which was overcharged with Youki, then all the plants around everyone started to become monsters.

Master: Awaken!!! My army of Man Eating Plants.

There were countless Man Eating Plants, an army which extended over Gabriel's En,that always spawns from somewhere.

Master: Devour those creatures so not even their bones are left

Then the monsters surrounded everyone, Gabriel couldn't do all alone without someone getting injured so he immediately rushed towards Moka and took out her rosary, pulling out Inner Moka from her.

Master: A vampire… No matter what, my children, devour them!

The incoming man eating plants were kicked away from Moka, who smiled arrogantly and turned towards Gabriel.

Moka: So, you need help from me?

Gabriel: I can't concentrate on these monsters if someone doesn't protect the others, I hope you can help me on that while I take care of the witch.

Moka: What do I get?

Gabriel: *Sigh* We will fight later…

Moka smiled and started to kick away the monsters from Tsukune and the others while they helped fighting them. Meanwhile, Gabriel turned towards Ruby's master, who was concentrated on him.

Master: I recognize you… You are that… Devil… Who made a massacre one year and half ago! You killed all those monsters just for your hunger!

Gabriel: ...I have priorities…

Master: I don't care about them… I will need to go all out against you! I'll show you. The real power of a witch of the King class, a Sorceress!!

Gabriel: '...Sorceress?'

Ruby: NO! MASTER!! DON'T USE THAT MAGIC!!

Gabriel: 'She must be talking about 'That'…'

Then all the plant monsters stopped attacking Tsukune, Moka and everyone else and runned towards Ruby's master, slowly forming a giant beast, and she stood inside its head.

The beast was made only from plants, connected to each other, it had countless tentacles with thorns and Ruby's master looked down at everyone, especially at Gabriel.

Master: Heh heh, impressive, isn't it? You don't look so good anymore… Against my century's worth of experience and power! Ha ha ha ha ha!! Bring it on!! Let's cleanse this world of the human plague!!

The beast roared menacingly, and slammed its arms downward, when it did it, there was a big earthquake before many pillars made of branches came from the ground, everyone panicked, Moka just clicked her tongue, but Gabriel smirked at the familiar scene.

It was just like in his dream against Netero, the only difference was that Gabriel could just finish it really fast unlike Meruem against Netero.

Gabriel: 'I will just test my physical limit…'

Then Gabriel slowly crouched, and jumped against Ruby's master without using nen, she was surprised from his speed but was able to counter him with a tentacle of hers, which slammed at Gabriel with much force, but not enough to really injure him.

Gabriel flew against another pillar made of branches and jumped with an unnatural agility towards another pillar and then jumped at his opponent, she used another tentacle to make him fly away, this continued for some time, everyone else just watched the fight with amazement.

Gabriel was attacking around 3 or 4 times every second, and Ruby's Master countered all of his attacks with her tentacles, but he just immediately recovered from the impact and continued.

Kurumu, Yukari and Ruby were amazed from Gabriel's capabilities, while Tsukune was worried.

Tsukune: If this continues like this, Gabriel will never do it…

Moka: Heh, don't joke around… He isn't even trying…

Tsukune: What do you mean?

Moka: He isn't even using a bit of Youki… Just physical prowess…

The three girls were shocked from Moka's words, and continued to watch the fight.

Gabriel and Ruby's master exchanged more than 200 clashes under 1 minute, this continued until Ruby's master could find a rhythm and disrupt it by grabbing Gabriel's tail.

Gabriel and the others were a bit surprised, and Ruby's master smirked before throwing him in the air, then she fused many tentacles in one, and when Gabriel fell, she hit him with it, raising dust where he crashed.

Tsukune: Gabriel!

Moka was a bit worried too now, but she didn't show it.

Master: Hah! Even he fell, now I will abso-

*Step* *Step* *Step* *Step* *Step* *Step* *Step* *Step*

Everyone turned towards where Gabriel crashed, and found him that he was still walking, with a look that seemed to say that nothing happened, in his body there was not even a scratch. Then he looked at Ruby's master and said.

Gabriel: This is your limit… Pathetic.

When he finished talking, his body exploded with all of his nen thanks to Ren, shocking everyone from the quantity he was emitting.

Master: W-What is this… You… You are a King class too?!

Gabriel just crouched once again, making Ruby's master prepare for another clash, but unlike before, Gabriel just jumped over some pillars of branches at a supersonic speed and attacked the beast's body at a shocking speed.

Everyone couldn't even see where Gabriel was, and he already made 17 attacks in 1 second, 17 holes in 1 second, and in that 1 second, no one was able to detect him.

Moka: 'His speed surpasses that of the fastest monster… His strength surpasses that of the strongest monster… His durability surpasses that of the most hard monster... He will easily beat me… I can't do this fight... He is really at the apex of the evolution.'

Normally Moka would not care about his future opponent's power, because as a shinso vampire, she would obviously beat him or her, but after seeing what Gabriel is capable, even her pride had a limit, and he clearly surpassed it, she is arrogant but surely not an idiot.

Another second passed, and Gabriel made 17 more holes in the beast, it didn't have enough time to regenerate that another second passed, and 17 more holes appeared.

Gabriel: C'mon, is it everything you can do?! I just used Youki and you start to act like an innocent puppy! And I can even go beyond!

Another second passed, and 17 more holes appeared over the beast, it was slowly falling in pieces that were moving back towards the beast to try to regenerate, but even more holes appeared.

Yukari: Gabriel! If you destroy the medium you will win!

Gabriel: Alright! 'Oh right… The medium…'

When he finished to talk, everyone heard something shattering, and Gabriel appeared back near the group, without a single injury, while the beast was falling apart like a pile of leaves.

Gabriel: Ended… Well, Moka, I think we still have time for a fight at night.

Moka just stood in silence before going towards Gabriel and picked up the rosary that he had the entire time in his hand, and wore it without even talking.

Moka: 'Yeah, no…'

Then the pink haired Moka turned back, and fell unconscious in Gabriel's arms while he turned back at his human form, then he looked around and seen Tsukune, Yukari, Kurumu and Ruby, no one was hurt, except for the bleeding hole in Ruby's shoulder.

--[OMAKE]--

Master: Every… single… one of you… is a fool. Foolish pests, that's it, I will destroy everything myself.

Then something was glowing from Ruby's master, revealing to be a book which was overcharged with Youki, then a stone wall with familiar statues stucked in appeared, which made Gabriel raise an eyebrow

Master: Awaken, my Masters!

From the stone wall, two statues moved as if they were living beings, they were revealed to be two tan skinned muscular men which were revealing much skin, then they started to pose with Ruby's master.

Gabriel: Is that... A motherfucking Jojo reference?!

Master: YES!!
