Chapter 12 - Pyro Fusion

"Aaaaah!!!"

"What is this?!!"

"Don't touch me. Aaarggghhhh!!!"

"Anyone save meee!!!!"

The crazy fishes kept showering without any break, over the complete town.

People who were outside of their house were all frightened as they saw the complete scene unfold in front of them. In an attempt to avoid being hurt, they ran into the nearest houses or shops in order to protect themselves.

The town was in complete chaos as people were running here and there for their safety.

"Hey!!! Come on follow me!!! Just stay close to me!!" One of the running people said while holding the hand of a lady, probably someone special.

"Y-Yeah, I got it!!!" She said.

Suddenly, some of the piranhas started biting on her clothes and many stuck on her hair. They were trying to get through the skin.

"S-S-Save meeeeee!!!! Please I am really scared. You will save me, right?!!! Please help me!" She started screaming out loud, an obvious reaction.

The young man pressed her hand tightly and started to remove the fish from her body.

The fishes were stuck like glue to her and he was unable to take them out.

The girl was getting more and more restless and held the youth tightly hoping for the best.

"Why doesn't it come out?! Get your damn teeth off her, you monsters!!!" He said and drilled his fingers inside the body of one of the piranhas with utmost force and tore apart its body.

"Shwraaaaaaaaaaa!!!" The fish screamed out loud and fell down from her clothes.

The other fishes started barking at the youth and many more fishes from above stuck on both of them.

As time passed, it was getting harder for them to get away from them. The people around were also running in hope of surviving and pushing each other to the ground.

"Aaaarrrrrrghhhh!!!!" The youth shouted as one of the women pushed him aside and he fell over the girl.

"Keugh…Aaaarrrrrrghhhh…Darn it!!!" The fish started biting off his skin.

"Are you okay?! These things are surrounding us!!!!" The girl said and pushed the boy aside.

The boy fell on the other side of the ground, confused and puzzled.

"Eh? What happened?!!" The boy asked while getting covered by the fishes.

The girl looked down at him and he understood at that moment that he had been used as bait.

The real nature of a person shows up when their life is in danger.

The girl didn't want to leave him but she felt like it was the only choice if she wanted to save herself.

"I-I-I am sorry!!! I am really sorry!!!" She cried out loud while running away from the place.

The boy looked above with wide open and dry eyes with no tears. Just a dead smile on seeing himself in such a pathetic state as more of them started falling on his face and started chewing him off.

"Aa..aaaaaa…owww!!!" The girl hit her leg on a brick on the street and fell to the ground.

"Move…Move my legs…Pweaseee!!!" She couldn't get up or even move around because of the crowd surrounding her.

Soon, people started stepping on her without giving a look around and she fell backward.

"Huh? What is going on?! Can't you see me?!! Can't you fucking see me, you assholes?!!!" She screamed out loud while crying.

Although she was saved from the attack of the fishes, the crowd around her crushed her together with the piranhas stuck to her body.

Her cheeks were pressed against the ground and the blood was oozing out of her mouth.

She finally realized that the mouth was not the only thing bleeding. Almost all the bones of her body were broken rendering her immobile.

The body composition of other humanoid organisms is almost similar to the human body.

When the body loses one-third of the total blood, it becomes life-threatening for the person. And from the looks of it, this girl had already lost more than half of it, looking at her current condition.

She was also aware of it but it was useless since her mind was completely blank. She couldn't think of anything. No thought of living or dying, just extreme heat arising from her body which soon took her life.

"Hey, this was quite unexpected!!" Akito said.

"Yeah, but what are we supposed to do now?!! I am hundred percent sure that the town is already done from inside!!" Riho said.

"I already told you all to be careful. See what happened now!!!" Takashi said.

"And we were careful. Did you expect something like this?!!" Daiki shouted while fending off the attacks with the spear.

"It's not time to be arguing like this! We need to think of something or else everything will be finished." Eiji said.

"Our best bet here is Takashi himself. You can do it, right?!" Akito asked.

"I can do it. I mean I will do it but what about the people who are still outside? They will also be harmed by it." He answered.

"Just go and check out the town from above first. You can think accordingly about it when you look at the scene with your eyes, right?" Eiji said and tore apart the coming fishes with his claws.

"You feel quite brute after what you said, you know!!" Takashi said.

"Do I? Go now because someone is dying somewhere while you are wasting your time here!"

"I see, then let's start from here first!" Takashi said and closed his eyes. The fishes that he was blocking until now continued to fall on him.

The sharp teeth of the piranhas started to attack his skinny areas since the rest of his body was protected by the strong armor.

Takashi stood at the same place immobile focusing his mind on something.

Soon after, the fishes that were all over him started to fall to the ground. His body started to become hot and started giving off steam.

"Hey, isn't that...?"

"Yeah, one of the five fingers is finally getting serious."

"He is the strongest of all, right?"

"No, idiot! They all are the same in strength and power."

The soldiers around who were facing difficulty in dealing with the fishes looked at Takashi in delight.

He opened his eyes and moved his body. He checked his body movements and looked at the others eventually.

He then looked upwards and inhaled the air around him in abundance.

'Pyro Fusion!!' He enchanted in his mind and exhaled all the absorbed air at the showering piranhas with an accelerated velocity.

The yellow and orange flames engulfed the sky and the region around them, completely incinerating the fishes and negating the incoming attacks. All that firepower was exhaled by Takashi alone, which completely changed the temperature around.

All the fish that were attacking the soldiers fell to the ground because of the difference in temperature. The people around were also uncomfortable with it but it didn't matter to them since they were saved.

'That's why I don't like to use it. It's affecting everyone after all.' He thought.

"Haha! Even though it's just for a moment, I am currently invincible from these attacks. See you all later then." Takashi said and ran away towards the main area of the town.

"(sigh)We don't have anything to do now. Everyone protects the town from the inside. We have already messed up quite a bit so move fast!!" Akito shouted and all the soldiers started moving towards the town.
