Kesshō stood in the village, waiting for all her enemies to arrive. She deactivated both the Angelic and Demonic eyes so they have more of a chance against her, out of consideration.
Five chimera landed around her at the same time, many others following after. They surrounded completely, but it still did not trouble her. Two of the chimera opened their mouths and shot their fire breath at her, but it didn't have any effect on her like the previous ones.
The closest five chimera rushed towards her at the same time, their claws primed to rip her apart. Kesshō slightly lowered her body and stabilized her footing. Gripping the hilt of her blade she scanned her surrounding for a moment.
"Tsuki Kenjutsu, ni no kata: Kodokuna Tsuki." Kesshō mumbled as she swung her blade in multiple arcs all around herself, forming a protective dome with crescent moon blades.
The five chimera stopped in their tracks and backed away as they were slashed all over their body with the moon blades. Another one lunged at her from a gap between two of the five. Kesshō jumped into the air, over the chimera, and slashed its neck with her katana. The chimera crashed on the ground, its head loosely hanging from its body.
The five that stopped by her earlier attack, now attacked her while she remained in the air. She deflected a claw stab with a horizontal slash, also making herself upright with its help. Another chimera swung its claw towards her head as she landed. Lowering her body she dodged the attack and slashed its throat with an upwards slash. She used the momentum of the katana to move away as the chimera's body fell to the ground.
She jumped up into the air as a claw slash was aimed at her from behind, somersaulting in the air she fell towards the chimera that had tried to attack her. She passed slightly over the chimera as it raised its head, just a few Inches away from her. Stabbing her katana into its body close to its neck she used to it to slow herself and slice through its entire spine, landing softly on the ground as the chimera fell forwards, blood spurting out from its back. Four chimera lunged at her at the same time as she landed. At once, eight of her phoenix tails shot up and impaled the four chimera, one through the neck and one through the heart for each. The chimera dropped dead and her tails retreated back instantly as Kesshō gave a scolding growl, not wanting for them to make the fight even more unfair.
Kesshō opened her mouth and blue-pink flames gathered inside as she shot a fire blast at two chimera who were standing close to each other. Both the chimera reeled in pain as the flames spread over their body and burnt them alive, leaving no remains behind. The remaining ten chimera were hesitant to attack her and waited on each other.
"In a fight the one who takes the initiative has the advantage," Kesshō informed, raising her katana to her head, it's tip towards the ground down, her blue eye hidden behind the katana.
She activated the Demonic Eye of Destruction, darkness swirling around her pink eye, covering the entire sclera, her heart-shaped pupil dilating to the shape of an arrow. All the chimera let out a growl of discomfort as she pressurized them. Many seemed to be desperately looking for a moment to attack, but they could sense there was no opening even when Kesshō's stance appeared open.
"I guess monsters are more sensible in some cases," She sighed as her facade failed. "Just try to keep me entertained till master is done with his work."
She dashed to right in front of the closest chimera. Startled by the quickness it bit down at her, but Kesshō jumped into the air. Spinning her body upside-down she stabbed her katana right into its neck, landing on its head. Pulling it out, she applied another slash at the back of its neck before jumping off as the chimera violently shook its head and fell to the side, dead. Another one stood where she was about to land, its jaws wide open, waiting for her to get within striking distance. Spreading her wings, Kesshō shot slightly over its head as it reached for her, spinning her body and performing a slash at the back of its neck, landing back on her feet behind it.
Not being able to slow herself she slid on the ground for some distance. A chimera slashed at her but she ducked below it, stopping herself by turning her body and slightly bending her legs, being pushed to her feet as they hit a rock, almost throwing her off balance. Sidestepping a claw attack she jumped over the chimera's head, slashing its neck too.
As she remained in the air another chimera slashed at her with its right claw, but she dodged it by using her wings to push herself a bit higher. Sensing the change the chimera slashed at her with its left claw, hitting her and tossing her right towards another one. She was slammed by a tail right towards another which smashed her into the ground with both its claws.
It attempted to stomp her again but reeled away in pain as Kesshō pointed her katana upwards and it penetrated the chimera's paw. Instantly jumping back to her feet Kesshō dashed closer and slashed the chimera's leg. Not being able to support itself the chimera slammed into the ground, completely defenseless.
As Kesshō turned to finish it off another chimera jumped at her, its jaws wide open to devour her. Kesshō sidestepped and the chimera slammed into its ally, sinking its large teeth into its ally's torso. Before the chimera was mobile again she slashed its neck, its ally already dead from the bite.
"That leaves five of you," Kesshō sighed. "Is that really the best you can do?"
There were a couple injuries on her, a bleeding claw mark on her cheek and right arm from the chimera's slash, and a split lip from the stomping. She showed the remaining five chimera these injuries, simply displaying to them how little they were capable of.
"What might you do if I was to increase the toughness of my scales, they are at the lowest toughness right now," Kessho mumbled.
She raised her right hand in front of her and an orb of pink and blue flames formed in it. She threw the orb towards the five chimera with a flick of her arm, a disappointed look on her face. The five chimera attempted to run but failed miserably as the orb exploded into a large cloud of pink and blue flames. The flames slowly burning the chimera to nothingness, leaving behind no trace of their existence.
Of the 5, only one remaining afterwards. Kesshō tilted her head at the last one in confusion as its burns and injuries healed near instantly after the flames died. As soon as all its injuries were healed the chimera shot towards Kesshō at blinding speed, catching her completely off guard. Skidding to a stop in front of her it slashed at her with its claws, bright red lines marking its entire arm as it did. Kesshō raised her left arm to block the brunt of the hit but failed and was tossed far to the side. She bounced off the ground three times before rolling to a stop.
Coughing from the sudden impact she pushed herself up, her head bleeding and her sleeve hanging loosely as it was nearly torn off by the slash. A thin stream of blood flowed from her mouth as she coughed a small amount of blood.
"Didn't expect there was a Krystallite here, though not an actual one," Kesshō coughed. An artificial core is implanted in its body, that means it's not necessarily at its heart or anywhere near that.
Kesshō studied it for a moment with her eyes, also known as the Soul Seer's Eyes by some, the chimera appearing near completely black from them, only some traces of white remaining buried under the darkness. A bright red orb was located at its stomach, a fair bit lower than its heart. Kesshō smiled wryly, having located her target.
The chimera charged at her again at a similar speed. Raising both its arms into the air as it stood in front of her, it slammed down with both, planning to crush her body completely. The loose dust and dirt around the spot blew into a small dust cloud, shrouding the area. While the chimera couldn't see it, it felt what happened.
"I guess this is all a fake is capable of," Kesshō mocked.
She blocked the chimera's attack by raising her hand above her head, blue-pink lines glowing in it. Kesshō pushed the chimera away. Without any wait the chimera slashed with its claw at her, the red lines visible again. Kesshō easily deflected the claw slash with a swing of her left hand.
Getting nowhere with melee attacks the chimera leapt back and opened its jaws wide. Red lines travelled to its jaws as bright red flames formed inside it. Kesshō opened her mouth, blue-pink lines travelling to her chest, merging with each other and travelling up her neck. Kesshō's neck glowed brightly as the breath attack travelled up, returning to normal as it reached her mouth.
Kesshō unleashed her breath attack at the same time as the chimera, both the attacks colliding halfway and Kesshō's completely destroying the chimera's and moving towards it without losing any speed or power. The breath attack caused a large explosion, a burst of blue-pink flames reaching high into the air.
The attack killed the chimera, leaving its body behind. The ground around the chimera was slightly damaged from the explosion, but nothing was charred. Kesshō walked to the chimera's body and placed her left hand slightly above it. "Devour," Kesshō mumbled.
The chimera's body quickly disintegrated into a bright red light, being absorbed into Kesshō's hand. Kesshō sheathed her katana and sat down, seemingly falling backwards. Both her legs were spread in front of her as she sat upright. All her injuries healing in an instant, leaving behind no sign of an injury ever having been there.
"I wonder how long master will take," Kesshō sighed.
