I just discovered something spectacular, since this is my own personal sector, I should have full control over it...might as well try it.
"Kasu! We'll be going outside, grab on to me!"
"Wha-?!"
I grabbed her arm and I looked back at Zeichi who waved at us in silence, I waved back. Creating an opening in the wall with my raised arm, I suddenly gained control of my own body but immediately Zersha was landing hits on me with his whip so in response to the attacks I summoned the shield of prejudice and into its second form so that I could catch him, he was too quick for the shield as he dodged it easily.
"Tarus?!"
Someone called my name with a deep womanly voice, I turned to my left to see an adult woman with grey long hair and brownish skin, she wore a black eyepatch over her left eye. She wore some rather skin-revealing clothes and she brandished a long dark scythe. Her red crimson eyes told me that she was experienced in fighting as scars covered her body from head to toe.
"Hel?"
"Interesting...you've brought out my body...well at least it feels comfortable now! Thanks anyway!" Hel leaped into battle with Zersha once more
"Tarus!"
"Kasu, your finally outside once more...welcome to Azuma, your hometown. We're currently inside kyotomi palace where your aunt, the shogun resides...but they've gone missing right now...."
"What a grandiose place...though I prefer the underground kingdom of Catalina..."
"This country really is impressive...even these thin clothing they called yukata"
"What an interesting pattern!"
"Well let's not admire it any further and focus on the matter at hand...remember those demons littering the other side?"
"What about them?"
"This demon is a sentient being that has knowledge...he's also powerful...and we can't leave all the hard work to Hel!"
"You sure keep on surprising me..."
"Sorry about that..."
"No worries! So how do we beat that thing?"
"What crown fragments do you have?"
"I have the four elements and most of them are for regenerative purposes, basically healing."
"You take the back then, I'll be the vanguard and support me from behind and can you also do defensive spells?"
"Yes!"
"Alright then! "
"Blessing of the water god: grant this mortal one with protection!"
I don't see any effects physically but when I tried to move around I felt light like a feather...so she increased my agility...interesting...
"Thanks! I'll expect more in case I get hurt!"
"Anytime!"
"Also, don't forget to cast a defensive spell on yourself just in case!"
"Will do!"
I summoned the Epoch, the silver sword clunked into my hand...it's time to try something mindblowing that could flip the tables. With my agility up, I easily leaped high enough to reach the clashing Hel and Zersha. I need the Nemax which was still in Zersha's hands, and I need it in order to defeat Zersha.
"Epoch plus corrosion: corrode time!"
Hel smiled as she probably knew what I was planning, she dodged only leaving me and Zersha to collide head-on. I corroded time which made me move fast and in just under a second right in front of me was the surprised face of Zersha.
"I'll be taking what's mine!"
I sliced off his left wrist which held the blade, he cried in pain as his arm fell to the ground while I claimed the Nemax. Coating the blade in corrosion and corruption, this much should be able to kill him since he's exhausted thanks to the fight between him and Hel. Six black jagged horns erupted from my head, this still puts a toll on my body as it's too powerful for me to master.
"What are you-?!"
With all the strength I have left, I lodged the Nemax deep into his chest which immediately started igniting the surrounding area with black flames. Thrusting it further, I pushed our momentum upwards.
"THIS IS IT FOR YOU!"
"CRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAP!"
Boosting myself upward with the white flames, we were high enough so that I could explode him from the inside. Going upward at insane speeds, a few seconds have passed and I deemed it safe to explode him.
"You've been nothing but trouble! Any last words?!"
"If you kill me...then who'll tell you the location of your companions?"
"I'll know it one way or another!"
He suddenly used his threads to cut himself from above the chest so that he could be free. I immediately removed the sword from his lower half and took chase.
"You're not getting away!"
"Too late! Threads of fate: make an opening for my escape!"
"Crap!"
Lines appeared below where he was going to fall in the middle of the sky and he plummeted at speeds I couldn't catch up to.
"We'll meet again sometime somewhere!"
Those were his last words as he entered the lines that formed an opening. Disappointed, I headed back to kyotomi palace, and to my surprise, some sort of forcefield was being undone. Arriving at the palace, down at the ground floor, cries of confusion can be heard.
"You look suspicious enough to be regarded as the ones who started the attack!"
"P-please calm down! We don't mean any harm!"
"What's going on here?"
"Tarus!"
"You know of them?"
"Shogun, please calm down, they're my companions from the other side."
"If you say so..."
"Allow me to introduce you, these two are Hel and Kasu, as I said, they're my companions from the other side."
"Well? Anything else to say?"
"The one who attacked was the second apprentice, Zersha and they were the ones who helped me in subduing him...but he fled...he was too quick."
"It's our fault for getting trapped by him...I'm deeply sorry to not be of assistance to you."
"We couldn't do anything anyway...Nanako, meet your older sister!"
"Older sister?"
"Over here!"
I called for Nanako and as she saw Kasu she immediately ran over and hugged her. Those two sure look alike...
