"Hyah!"
Asia shouts as she throws a jump punch toward Yasaka. I can feel the shockwave from each punch Asia throws toward Yasaka. This fighting style is known as Jacob's Limb, a fighting style Jacob uses to wrestle an Archangel.
And boy, it is powerful.
Each of her punches can kill a mid-rank being if they get hit by it more than once. Each of the punches is designated as something that can kill a phantasmal creature. This is my first time seeing Yasaka look in pain after only fighting for five minutes.
*BOOM*
I cover my face with my hands when I see golden energy and blue fire clash, resulting in an explosion.
After the dust disappears, Yaska raises her hand and says.
"Let's end it here. I don't think the training ground can handle it."
Asia nods her head and uninstalls the card. Her clothes return to normal, and she looks at Yasaka with worry.
"Are you okay, sister? I don't hit you too hard, right?"
Yasaka waves her hand and says,
"You do not hit too hard, but for some reason, your punch hurts me for some reason."
Yasaka looks at me and says.
"Do you know anything about this?"
I nod and say.
"That is because of the fighting style she uses. It is called Jacob's Limbs, a martial art that Jacob uses when he wrestles the archangel."
I chuckle a little when Asia looks at me in shock. I give her a smile and say.
"Yeah. What you are using is a martial art that Jacob, Father of Israelites, uses to wrestle against an Archangel in the other worlds."
Asia looks at her hands in shock and nods her head.
"Anyway, be careful with that martial art, okay? It is a dangerous martial art that can cause great harm if you punch too hard against someone too weak. If you want to spar with Kunou, don't use install. Instead, use include."
"Will it be okay, Ryan?"
"Yeah. Include mode will only give you a small portion of Martha's power and fighting style. That means you can use Jacob's limbs but not at full power. It is great to train your body and get used to the fighting style, so you do not need the card to use the fighting style."
"I see. I will work hard and be extra careful when using the card."
"Good girl."
I pat her head and look at Yasaka, who has an amused expression.
"Where is my head pat?"
I laugh a little and give her a head pat. Yasaka smiles and says.
"Anyway, the team has a great idea for Issei Hyoudou."
Yasaka looks at Asia, who nods her head in understanding and leaves the training ground. Even though Asia agrees to end Issei's life, she does not want to hear the details. She is still too kind a person to kill a human being.
"What is it?"
"One of the hunting team will call him through a summoning and kill him there."
"Just make sure they are strong enough to kill him before he can do anything. Issei is already able to enter a Balance Breaker state even for a minute."
She looks at me and nods her head.
"I already told them about it. Don't worry. They will do their duty flawlessly."
"Good. If they are in trouble, tell me. I will go and help them."
"I will. Anyway, do you think–"
Before she can finish her sentences, a Karasu Tengu runs toward us and says,
"My lady! News from China and India! Something is happening in China and India."
"What happened?"
"Lord Indra is currently moving his entire army against a group of people."
"What? Tell me from the beginning."
Karasu Tengu nods his head and says.
"The news is coming from Lady Inari, who is on her yearly visit to China. She says that Indra is moving his army to meet a group of people who challenge his army. They will soon meet in Kurukshetra."
"The location where the Mahabharata was happening, huh?"
"Yes, my lady."
Yasaka frowns at that confirmation and says,
"What about the mortals in that area?"
"They already evacuated, my lady."
"I see. However, why does the Chinese Pantheon get involved in this mess?"
"Because the people that challenge Lord Indra bear the name of the people from China."
"What?"
"Yes. The leader called himself Qin Shi Huang, the First Emperor of China."
"What? Is he stupid? Qin Shi Huang is someone whom even the Jade Emperor hates for attempting to make immortality. His soul is gone. He never entered the river of reincarnation."
"And that is why Lady Inari is confused."
"Tell me what kind of person he is?"
"Lady Inari says that he is more of a peacock than a human."
Uh ho. Please…. Please… Please don't tell me it is him. Please, for all that is holy, please don't let him be the culprit for this mess.
"Peacock? What?"
"Yes, my lady. Instead of black hair, the imposter has black hair with a light green streak. His hair also looks like a wing, hence why Lady Inari calls him a peacock instead of a human."
Damn it! Zelretch!
"Is there anyone else who takes the famous name of the Chinese people?"
"Yes. Lady Inari says Cao Cao, Xiahou Dun, Dian Wei, Lu Bu, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhuge Liang, Sun Jian, Sun Ce, and Sun Quan are the people standing behind Qin Shin Huang."
Yasaka looks at her in shock before saying.
"All of them are from the Three Kingdoms Era."
"That is right, my lady."
"Are they stupid or too arrogant to believe they can get away with this? Lord Guan Yu is a God of War, for goodness sake. He dared to take the name of a living god. That person is asking for a beating."
Yasaka shakes her head and says.
"Will the Gods join the war?"
"No. Lord Indra stays away from the fight for some reason and only watches. He will be a spectator in this battle and let his army be the one fighting for me. This action confuses the other Gods, but because of this reason, the Gods in the Heavenly Court decide to let the Mortal Faction fight Indra's Army."
"I see. That's good. That means the mess will not reach us for now. Can you ask Lady Inari to let one of you come with her? I want someone to watch over the situation there."
"Of course, my lady."
After the Karasu Tengu leaves the training ground, Yasaka looks at me and says.
"Sorry about that, Ryan. It looks like we will be busy from now on."
"Errrr, Yasaka?"
"Yeah?"
"I think I know who the culprit behind this mess is."
