"This is getting a little boring…"
"Should we end it?" Said Leo while aiming his shotgun toward Rikka
Rikka as she's vulnerable right now is already accepting her fate though she tried to grab her bow for a few times or activated her skills, all of that were futile
(Sorry…Arashi…)
(I couldn't save you…)
Even in her last moment all she's thinking about is Arashi safety
"Well then…See you in hell…" Said Leo grinning
"Bang!!!"
The sounds of the shotgun being shots off echoed through the building. It also made a big pile of smokes that cover the place up
A bit of dissatisfaction can be seen on Leo face as he found this fight to be too boring for him
Just when he's about to leaves the place, He suddenly felt an unpleasant presence of someone
He then quickly turned around as the smokes that were covering the building disappear slowly unveiling a figure of someone standing in front of Rikka blocking the shotgun bullet
"Sorry…"
"Did I come too late?" Said Arashi as he turned his face toward Rikka
Arashi appearance at the place shocks both Rikka and Leo
"A…Rashi?"
Arashi just could smile toward injured Rikka but it just to hide the rage inside him as he seen Rikka condition and not to make her worried
"You..."
"How did you get here? Isn't Emma supposed to be dealing with you right now?" Said Leo confused
Arashi then turned toward Leo with a fierce eye glaring up and down at Leo
"Are you talking about the girl with a dark robe?" Said Arashi as he rubs off the dust from his uniform
"I just dealt with her…"
Hearing that surprised Leo making the smile on his face to disappear
"I didn't kill her though…"
"I just left her unconscious…"
After hearing that Leo got a bit discomfort as he just can't believe it when Arashi told him that he defeated his comrades
(That's impossible…)
(Even if Emma was one of our weakest members. It still impossible to just defeats her without having a big injuries)
(But this guy!!!)
Leo looks up and down Arashi where not even a single blood or scratch is seen on his body
(Isn't this guy supposed to be the new recruit?)
(How in the hell he looks so strong?)
For some reason just by looking at Arashi, Leo could feel a tremendous amount of power that he calculated might eradicate half of this city
And that gives a feeling of thrill toward Leo
"You…"
Out of sudden Arashi spoken out to Leo
"Did you do this to her?" Ask Arashi while pointing his sword toward Leo
Leo just grips his fist when being asked the question but then he brings himself to smiles back
"Heh…That's right…"
"I'm the one who did that. Next it will be you." Said Leo grinning toward Arashi
(That's right…Why should I feel nervous because of this person…)
(Just because he defeated Emma doesn't mean he can do the same to me…)
(I'm Leo Smith you know… The sixth of the twelfth Ancients Demon.)
Just as Leo starts rumbling inside his head, out of nowhere Arashi swings his sword across his face
"I see…"
"Die…" Said Arashi as he swings the sword toward Leo
Leo managed to teleport himself to another place before Arashi sword could reach him but to his shocked a bit scratch hit on his face
(What the????)
(How in the hell he managed to land a hit on me?)
Leo then turned his view toward the fierce Arashi as he looks back at Leo with a determined eye
(This guy is a monster!!!) Thought Leo grinning
"I see…"
"So your power is teleportation then…"
"That seems like a drag…" Said Arashi
Just as Arashi finished talking he then dash toward Leo once again trying to land another blow on him
But Leo had already predicted that, He managed to teleport before Arashi could reach him
Leo then aimed his shotgun toward Arashi who are vulnerable from behind
"Eat shit!" Shout Leo
The bullets coming out from Leo shotgun hits Arashi back making him to falls on the ground
But just as Leo thought he already won, Suddenly the bullet that get through Arashi back slowly came out one by one
That gave a surprise toward Leo as his bullet are different from a normal bullet to which if it managed to hit their target it would stay inside the target and leaves a big injury that slowly kill the target
Just by looking at how Arashi managed to recover from Leo attack let Leo in euphoric feelings that give him the thrills he's been wishing all this time
Just not a moment Leo suddenly let out a hysterically laugh that echoed inside the building
"This…felts so good!!!"
Shouts Leo
"You are really amazing, you know that!!!"
Arashi looks confused as hell when Leo starts to laugh and praising him out of nowhere but he didn't care about all that
Because all he wanted right now is just finishing off Leo and brings Rikka home as soon as possible
"Heyyyy!!"
"What's your name if I may ask?" Said Leo out of nowhere
Arashi though he felt uncomfortable telling his name toward the person who have injured his friend turn toward Leo
"Arashi…"
"Hirota Arashi…" Said Arashi stating his name
Leo are gasping after Arashi stated his name as he just heard a good new beings delivered to him
"I see…"
"That is your name…" Said Leo smiling awkwardly
Out of nowhere he starts laughing again that this time it makes Arashi to think that he's a weirdo and not right in the mind
"I'm Leo Smith!"
"You are one of the toughest guys I have fought over the centuries!!!"
"That's why right now, I'm going to steps up my game a little bit." Said Leo grinning
Arashi as he heard that readied his sword beside him in case Leo tried to attack first
Leo then starts to drop his fedora off his head and shoves both his hand inside the teleport
He then took out two new pair of shotguns that is cover with silver case
"Are you ready, Arashi?" Said Leo as he stared at Arashi
"Well then… here I come!!!"
Out of sudden Leo presence disappear from Arashi sights
This is giving Arashi a bit trouble as he couldn't predict where and when Leo gonna appear
Just as Arashi putting his guard up, A big presence of aura came above him. Arashi quickly swings his sword to cover himself but he was too slow that half of the bullet managed to hit him
Luckily this time a magical shield from the sword managed to cover Arashi
"I see that you could even create a magical shield…"
"But let see for how long that shield is going to holds!" Said Leo
Leo then kept appearing and disappearing into the thin air while shooting at Arashi shield
Even though the shield is protecting Arashi but the amount of hit it takes is giving a pressure toward Arashi
He didn't know for how long he could hold this
"What's wrong Arashi?"
"Didn't you said you are going to kill me?" Said Leo laughing hysterically
Arashi could just grit his teeth when he heard Leo said all those stuffs, but he tried not to give up just yet
(This is bad…)
(If this goes on my shield might not hold)
(But right now, a close-range fight isn't the option…)
(I need to think of another way)
Just as he's thinking of an idea, he spots Rikka bow on top of the ground near him
That's when an idea came onto him
Arsahi then immediately grabs his sword and stabs it on the ground making the places to shakes
And by that Leo suddenly lose his focus because of the shaking he felt. From that slight moment Arashi grabs Rikka bow of the ground
He then aims toward Leo who has lose his focus over the shaking made by Arashi
With a single pull he lets off an arrow flying toward Leo. But Leo wasn't a fool as he managed to dodge it just before it could hit him
"Hah! Don't you know that was futile?" Said Leo making fun of Arashi
"Was it?" Said Arashi while giving of a smirk
Leo find Arashi replied to be off that he turned back toward the shot that Arashi made and found that it is hitting on the target that Arashi wish for which is the ceiling of the ground floor which then were destroyed into pieces by the shot
And in that moment Arashi took Rikka out of the building just before Leo could realize their presence has disappear
"Its going to be fine…"
"I'm going to take you somewhere safe…" Said Arashi carrying the injured Rikka
Rikka even though injured and at her weak point tried to stops Arashi as it was futile to fix her as it was almost too late
The bullet that hit her has already deep inside her, there's probably nothing that can be done anymore…
