[Outside the Territory of the Hidden city]
Due to the appearance of anomaly who illegal entered the world through a space fissure, aside from ordinary and low leveled people, all the powerhouse and those who have significant amount of power sensed the approach of a foreign entity
Due to that all the people who sensed the anomaly's arrival immediately headed towards the direction of the anomaly
Apart from that for safety measures Rebecca isolated the area around that part from the citizens of the city as she headed straight towards the part of the forest that points towards the huge plain
When she arrived she had already saw many identical faces on such place such as Argos, Aileene, Fengris, Ingrid, Sui, and Melfina
Following towards the place where they were all looking, she could see the silhoute of a person in its white shirt all over as he strodded towards their direction in a casual walk
At this moment Kaido approached from behind her with little bit of presence as he suddenly spoke up towards everyone near him
"I can't believe someone would actually strode towards us so casually"
After him Ingrid immediately pointed out
"Kaido! I sense no mana from him! Its like you when I met you on the earlier days in my castle"
"No mana! Hahaha! Then that means that this dude came from Kaido's world! After all despite their world's abundant mana, none of them were actually using it" said Fengris
"Other words this guybis an esper who used his ability to follow you here" added Argos
Of course aside from Rebecca who had no knowledge of Kaido's world and stayed confuse in all of this, the others on the other hand were quite amazed that someone infiltrated this world under the guard of the four gods
Whats more they were even surprised to see a person who had such power to do so
At that moment Kaido answered
"This guy! Based on my knowledge... he might have a power to bend reality giving him possibility to enter this world unhindered and the only esper I know who can bend reality is Subject no. 001 or Subject no. 000... which means he is either the two of them"
"Doesnt that means that he's after you?" Asks Aileene as she crossed her arms over her chest
"Pretty much likely! But who cares! As long as we kill him then its worthwhile for their loss"
At that notion Kaido glanced at both Melfina and Rebecca to test the waters for them, causing both of them to tense up from that order
But without hesitation Melfina charged in towards her target while having Rebecca follow behind
In fact since Rebecca wanted to know just how strong are the opponent in another world, she was very much excited to see its potential
Weilding her ancestral family's sword Frost Sakura, she then charged out just right behind Melfina without even losing its momentum or reducing its speed
For a moment it feels like Rebecca is actually trying to synthesize her movement together with Melfina, thus following her rhythm and momentum in terms of movement and agility
Upon seeing them charging towards him, Axel then immediately concluded that such people were hostile, causing him to smile inwardly for foolishly charging towards him
"This lot has no idea how terrifying the people who can bend reality... fine then let me demonstrate it"
It that moment Axel raises his hand as his five fingers suddenly bolted out purple lasers from their tips and shooting towards them
Seeing that Melfina fluently dodges all the shots as she quickly encloses her oath towards him, on the other hand Rebecca was deflecting alm the incoming shots with her sword as if such a thing was like nothing towards her
In fact even with those bombardment, she haven't even loss any of its momentum when following Melfina's speed
But at that next second with a snap from axel, all those lasers flying through the air suddenly turned into sharp needles as they all turned towards them and charged in all direction
Seeing that Melfina immediately plunged in her shadows, thus leaving Rebecca to fend off all the needles by herself
But with her experience she then swung her sword horizontally as she charged forwards in successive slashes
"Crisscross!"
"Blade storm!!!"
"Sword orbit!!!"
As she uses all her 360° sword skills she then fended all of the upcoming needles with the speed of her slashes as she came in towards Axel
But as if her efforts were useless Axel once more snap his fingers as all those needles converge with each other and turned into one realistic snake
But when Rebecca tried to move towards it to serve an attack, she suddenly felt her very limbs stuck to the ground
And when she took a look unto it, she found out that her very feet were plunged into a deep quicksand beneath her
Due to that she was left to defend for herself as the snake plunged itself towards her
As that happened Melfina came in from behind as she held her dagger upwards and intended to stab Axel's shoulder
But the moment that she did so a crystalline barrier suddenly erected between them causing her to fall back by a few steps
"An elf? And a assassin at that! First a swordwoman then now an assassin... this is really a fantasy world isn't it?"
When Axel said that he once more held out his hand as he suddenly changed the scenery into the pit of lava pool with very few sturdy foundation to stand on
In fact even Kaido and the rest were plunged into this different scenery as they found themselves inside a volcanic caves in an instant without any sign of teleportation
"Is this instant teleportation? And at a wide scale at that!" Said Fengris as he was surprised by the sudden change in scenery as he couldn't even see the forest behind them
"Its not possible! Instant teleportation isn't omnipotent! Even though it is instant it can't actually cover such a huge scale and scope! Much less teleport us to a far away place... its just not possible!" Saod Aileene as shetok was confused by this situation
Buy one thing is for sure usthat they could feel the heat of the lava all around them
As they grow co fused of the situation, both Melfina and Rebecca who suddenly realized the snake was gone then slowly got surprised by the sudden change in scenery
But as for Axel he slot pointed out his finger forwards them as made the lava pool to spit mouth multiple lava gayser towards them causing both Rebecca and Melfina to back away and dodge such realistic lava
At one point when one lava gayser strikes out, part of its lava suddenly struck Melfina by her arm causi g her to ache in pain as she felt the burning pain of having her skin hit by its small fraction
It almost felt like her arm was melting due to that experience
Seeing that Rebecca's expression turned grim as she swept out her sword and stabbed the ground while ha ing her spell being simplified by a few words
"Frozen world!!!"
By simplifying her use of incantations to activate the spells on her sword all this time, she was then able to make it easier for her to fight in a fast pace battle without wasting some of its intervals just to chant the long casting of her sword spells
In just one casual cast the whole lava pool begun to sizzle in hot and cold smoke as ice erupted beneath the sword tip and spread all over the place and completely turning the whole volcanic cave into its personal ice world
Aside from that such ice begun assaulting Axel from all direction without giving him any chance to dodge at all
"Turning my lava ground into your personal environment! That's quite smart of you, but such tactic is useless against me!"
As he said that he once again swept up his hand as he turned all the incoming ice towards him into a flock of butterfly fleeing from him
Seeing that not only were Kaido surprised, but even the others were utterly shocked by that sudden development as they were dumbstruck by that feat of turning ice into a flock of butterflies
"What kind of sorcery is this!?!?!?!" Exclaimed Fengris
"Kaido! Do you have any means on countering this?" Asks Ingrid
Hearing that Kaido replied
"Hahahaha! Even science couldn't explain this kind of shit!"
Meanwhile as they were talking about that, Axel on the other hand raises his hand once more as stretched it out and suddenly causes the very ground beneath Rebecca to move towards him causing the distance between them to shorten
As if the whole world has compressed Axel tool ahold of Rebecca's neck as he slammed her unto the ground
"Gah!"
But as if that wasn't enough the ground slowly coiled around her in restraints to her body causing her to unable to move even a slightest bit of her muscle
With that Melfina took this chance to close her distance between them and attacked him from all direction with her clones
"Instant strike!!!"
"Critical strike!!!"
"Shadow slash!!!"
"Frenzy!!!"
.....
.......
As various spells plunged towards Axel, Melfina successfully landed all of her attacks on Axel's body, causing the latter to cough up blood and bend on one knee
But as if a merciless beast Melfina beheaded Axel right on the spot without hesitation in her eyes at all
Upon seeing this Fengris then beamed up
"Did she kill him?"
But when he asks this the others sudde lu turned towards Kaido, who seemed to be smiling evilly toward a certain direction where an empty space was located
"Reality benders are really troublesome opponents"
Upon saying that a sudden change in the ice field happened as they saw that the person that Melfina beheaded was none other but an illusion and the real Axel was actually about few meters on her right
"Reality is often disappointing isn't it?"
When Axel said that even Melfina was stupefied as she couldn't believe that she had been fooled by an illusion
"Faking ny death! Changing the scenery! Metamorphing things into something impossible isn't all my skills! I can do even more! Thats just jow powerful is a person who can bend reality.... in face with me even subject no. 099 is nothing but an ant before me"
As he said that he then snapped his fingers as the scenery changed into that on top of the eiffel tower in Paris
As for Kaido and the rest since the scenery changed he naturally made everyone stand on air as he solidified the air beneath them to serve as a foothold for everyone
But as for Melfina and Rebecca, not only were they in the top of the tower where the wind blow so hard, they could even feel the realistic nausea one would fell when they at a certain height
As they felt the wind too strong causing them to almost slip their footings and blown off the tower, Axel on the other hand was casually walking towards them
"You can think of this as real or not! It's up to you to decide! After all I can make whats fake a reality and whats real a fake"
As he said that the wind suddenly grew stronger causing both Melfina and Rebecca to forcefully take their ground just to keep on board to fight agaisny Axel, but jo matter how much they struggle it will be all pointless
With one blow from him, both Melfina and Rebecca was blown away by the wind as they fall on top of the tower in Paris, causing both of them to struggle nonetheless, but as if that wasn't enough Axel then played them more as he snapped his fingers once again
Causing them to land and crash towards the green plain where they were originally situated
With that sudden change of scenery once more and demonstration of power, Axel has clearly showed them just how troublesome is a Reality Bender can be
