Chapter 58: Meruem
After putting Gabriel, Touhou and Moka's bodies in a safe place, Fangfang and Lingling tried to kick away the Miu family, however, right now they were in a pinch.
Fangfang: Tsk… We're completely surrounded. What happened to Mom and Dad…?
?: The duo called the Huang family's "Ultimate Power" has already fallen. After they lost their heads, the rest were just like an angry mob.
Fangfang: ...Wh...at…?
The siblings looked over their head, and saw Akua passing through the ceiling in a creepy manner.
Akua: The only ones left are you…
Fangfang: What the!? She came through the roof…
Lingling: 'No way… Don't tell me that technique is…'
Akua turned around and saw an unsealed Moka sleeping in the ground.
Akua: ...I'm so happy. So happy, so happy, so happy, so happy. You broke your seal, didn't you? We finally meet… My beautiful Moka…
Fangfang: ...What did you say just now? After they lost their heads, the rest were just an angry mob…? What… Did you do to my parents… And comrades?
However, Akua just shrugged him off.
Akua: ...Right now I'm absorbed in my seven year reunion with my little sister, don't bother me.
Lingling: '....! It really is that… This is bad!'
Fangfang, enraged, created his coin sword and swung it at Akua.
Fangfang: YOU!!
But Akua, annoyed, swung her hand and used Dimensional sword, but it was caught from another Dimensional sword from Lingling.
Akua: You… How can you stop my Dimension sword which can cut through everything…?
Lingling: ...The Dimensional sword was a technique developed by Lord Touhou Fuhai. You aren't the only one who inherited that inherited that technique, I am Huang Lingling, a zombie created by Lord Touhou Fuhai. I shall be your opponent.
Just some seconds passed from that declaration, and the entire room was a mess already from Lingling and Akua's fight with the Dimensional sword and shockwaves everywhere.
Fangfang: What the!? When their hands hit each other, there was a giant shockwave, as if they were cutting the air itself…!
Akua: I'm surprised… To think that someone else other than me could use the Dimensional sword. As expected of Touhou Fuhai's direct disciple. Huang Lingling.
Lingling: Hmm… You've heard about me? I'm honored. But I've also remembered something. Your appearance, and your fighting style to slice everything in half… You are a vampire who, at the young age of 13, became the Miu family's greatest assassin, and was also known and feared as the "Jet Black Devil".
Rumour has it that your methods were far too inhumane and that you made an enemy out of everyone in the underground world. And eventually you fled to China. If I'm right, you are… Shuzen Akua.
Akua: ...I'm sorry... But I didn't come here to chat. My target is to take my sister Moka, who is sleeping over there, and leave with her…
Akua looked at Moka, before she started to blush and held her cheeks.
Akua: ...Moka.
Lingling: What the? Why are you going all red?
While they were chatting, something unexpected happened…
?: ...Where's Gabriel?
A heart-piercing feeling came through everyone that was around 50 meters from the room, it was even worse for those who were inside.
Fangfang: Guh…!
Lingling and Akua stopped moving while Fangfang was kneeling from the terrifying feeling he had.
Everyone were able to see a dark and perverse aura that was covering the entire room like a mist, everyone who felt it had the feeling imprinted in their memory.
?: ...I shall not repeat myself a third time, where's Gabriel?
Everyone slowly turned towards the source of the chilling voice, and saw the source of the dark aura that would put a Shinso in shame.
This was not the "The huge power is even deeper and more beautiful than black darkness." bullshit. This was downright tyrannical and death-dealing feeling that could easily kill people from heart attack.
The owner of the aura was a monster with green skin and a sleeveless black short coat with a shell-like helmet on its head and a striped tail that ended with a stinger.
It had 4 fingers on both his hands and his feet, and had antenna-like protrusions coming from his ears that were hanging around, and finally, his piercing cold purple eyes that could make holes through a soul, Gabriel… Maybe…
Ǵ͠a̷͝҉̨b͝r̵̴í́͝é̸̶̷ļ̸͟:̶̡̡͜͢ Answer the question.
Lingling: 'An humanoid green insect with a stinger on a tail and a shell-like helmet…' ...Gabriel?
G̶̕͝͡҉a̢҉̶͜b҉̛͟͠͝r̴̕̕͟i̧͘̕ę͟͞l̴͝:͢͏̴ He isn't here… My name is Meruem, the King of the Chimera Ants.
...The sleeping death god finally woke up… What will happen now? Find out about it in the next lines!
…
Lingling: What? Then he didn't came out yet…
The next instant, she felt a stinging sensation on her throat and looked down, there was Meruem's stinger right there, it was so fast that she didn't even noticed it.
Meruem: I shall not repeat myself.
Lingling: G-Gabriel… He is in Moka's seal for now…
The stinger retracted from her throat and Lingling saw Meruem turning around and slowly walking towards Moka, before crouching down and holding on her Rosary without ripping it off.
Akua was immediately turned angry from the physical contact Meruem had with Moka, and she used the Dimensional sword at Meruem.
Akua: Don't touch her!!
Meruem turned around and saw Akua coming towards him, in his eyes, she was pretty fast, but it was not enough…
Akua: Oof!
With a speed never seen before, Meruem was already in front of her and a fist on her chest, which bent her back like never before.
Akua spit blood from the strength that Meruem esibited, and took some seconds to take back the air that came out from her lungs.
Akua slowly backed away and kneeled in the ground, before she took deep breaths as if she just came out from water before she drowned.
Meruem: ...Consider yourself lucky that I promised Gabriel that I won't do anything that could be considered irreparable until I get the full control of this body. I will never go back on anything I sai-
A flash interrupted him while he was speaking and had his guard lowered.
*Thump*
Something fell… It was his right arm, much to his shock, in front of him, there was Akua who was still breathing heavily and was holding her chest while the other hand was up. She clearly used the Dimensional Sword, which was the only method she could use to really injure him.
But Meruem was shocked from the attack, not from what happened to his arm. He immediately recovered and looked down, where his right arm laid down, he crouched down and picked it up, before placing it on his right shoulder, and used the shapeshifting ability and regeneration to reattach it back.
Akua: Wh… What…?
Meruem tested his right arm, and it moved normally, without any difficulty. Meanwhile, Akua was on full alert and used a technique which made her intangible for a short time, suddenly dodging Meruem's tail that almost touched her head, then she backed away from him and said.
Akua: You will never injure me without the Dimensional sword, I admit, you are really strong, but your regeneration will take a toll on your body and I will win, give up.
Meruem: ...Give up? You miss the ability to make me...
Then he used his right arm to point at Akua, and said with a cold and confident tone.
Meruem: My next attack will hit you.
