章 354: A Fine Weapon
Koneko is clamping down on her stomach while Sona is about to lose her consciousness when they heard Aika's shout. Thanks to her, they were reminded of what they are doing here in the Dungeon. They contemplated if they had really worked hard enough to follow him and they realized that they went down without even putting up much of what they're capable of if they give it all... until they collapse from exhaustion.
And strangely enough, despite being ridiculous and vulgar, those last words of Aika calmed the fears in both Koneko and Sona.
While two Minotaurs stopped in front Koneko, she stood up while gritting her teeth, "...Me too... I can't die yet..." She then looked up at the two Minotaurs who started to run towards her. Her eyes, instead of normal golden color, became wine-red with blue hue appearing around them. "Not yet when he hasn't accepted me!"
Koneko right now is also feeling desperate, similar to that of what happened on the Rating Game of Phenex and Gremory Households, but more intense. Instead of fear of disappointing her master, right now, she fearing the fact that she would be left alone again. And thanks to that, she entered some sort of trance that allows her to take in Ki in the air more efficiently and integrate it with her Falna. Due to that, although she didn't grow up, similar aura to when she's rampaging on the Rating Game emerged as her ears and tail caught on white flames.
When Koneko looked up towards the two Minotaur running towards her, the monsters abruptly stopped their charge. It is as if a predator just put them in her hunt list and the Minotaurs instincts started kicking in and desperately charged towards her.
Inside Koneko, aside from power emerging, a violent feeling is also welling up, so instead of her usual style of hit and run, she returned to her former style, bulldozing her way with brute force. Koneko crouched down and launched herself like a bullet towards the two Minotaurs, cracking the ground she is standing on, which caught them off-guard.
Spinning herself in mid-air, Koneko gained momentum as she punched one of the Minotaurs on the snout, sending it flying backward with broken nose and teeth. However, this attack also destroyed her gloves and her fist started bleeding as it can't take the stress it went through. But still, Koneko ignored this.
Instead of attacking the one beside her, Koneko ignored the other Minotaur and chased after the one she attacked and pulled out the remaining two daggers on her back. Just as the Minotaur landed, Koneko proceeded to pounce on top of its neck and stabbed the two daggers on her hand in its eyes, "▮▮▮▮!!!" The Minotaur could only roar in pain as it loses its sights.
"What was that!?" Tiona exclaimed, "Why does it look like she multiplied her strength!?"
"And what are those flames? Some sort of enchant?" Bete asked curiously.
"Her eyes became red and her demeanor also became more violent... A magic that is probably similar to the Captain's Hell Finegas... That's probably she's pulling that kind of strength... But for a Level 2 Adventurer to have that rare magic... Where did they came from?" Tione voiced out her thoughts.
On the other hand, Riveria and Ais stayed quiet as they continue to observe the battlefield. As a magic-user and enchant-user, both of them knew that it isn't that simple as Tione says it to be. It's as if they're looking at something very foreign.
Now that the Minotaur was disabled, Koneko decided to change her target to the other one. But before that, she positioned herself on top of the Minotaurs head and grabbed both of its horns with her two hands before pulling it apart with considerable force and breaking it off, "▮▮▮▮▮!!!!!"
She could have pulled out the two daggers on the Minotaurs eyes, but its horns are a lot sharper and more durable than all the weapons they brought today, hence, it's the best weapon around.
Hearing the clashes from Koneko's location, Sona slowly stood up as she wipes away the blood on her face, clearing her vision, "Geez... You two are amazing... As your senior at school and also 'experience', I can't fall behind." Despite her calm demeanor, similar to the two, a scalding hot vigor also lighted up in her chest. And even though she just had a dangerous concussion, her mind is strangely clear as she too entered some sort of trance similar to Aika and Koneko.
Using this clearheadedness, she started something that is very dangerous for her current skill, and that is controlling the Mana outside of her body directly to cast magic, "Aika-san... Please help me hold them back a bit."
Aika came running with her dangling arm and answered with a smile, "With pleasure~. But you don't mind me killing them off instead, right?"
Sona closed her eyes and replied, "If you can, then go ahead. But I would have to disappoint you because I'm going to annihilate them before you do."
"We'll see about that." Aika, with her remaining short sword and small dagger, charged towards the three Minotaurs. She first chooses to approach the Minotaur without a weapon and thrust her short sword toward its left eye but the Minotaur was able to evade by bending over. However, using this chance, Aika used Flash Step, but the failed one, and only on her right leg. Using this failed technique, she managed to accelerate her leg faster than she could normally and kicked one the Minotaur's leg.
The first Minotaur tipped over and Aika continued her attack by targetting the monster's eye again. This time, she was able to pierce it, however, she failed to reach its brain as her short sword couldn't take the stress anymore and broke into pieces. In exchange for blinding one of the Minotaur's eyes and disabling it for a few seconds, Aika lost one of her weapons and fractured her leg. However, she thinks that it's a good trade and immediately went to attack the other Minotaur holding a club, ignoring the pain from her leg and arm.
The Minotaur, in response, swung its club on the incoming Aika. Normally, Aika would have already retreated, but she now knew that that is more dangerous and she couldn't create an opening doing that. So instead, she ducked low and pushed forward. The club brushed the top of her head, but Aika was able to approach the Minotaur and touched its chest.
While Koneko is duking it out with the other Minotaur, the Loki Familia's attention was caught by Aika's charge and when she reached the second Minotaur, they couldn't help but disapprove of her decision.
"Tch. What is she doing? She did a good job disabling one of the Minotaurs, but what is she going to do with just one small dagger and one arm? She can't even reach the Minotaur's head from that position!" Bete muttered in frustration. He doesn't really like what's happening right now. He's imagining if he can do the same if he's on their position... And the answer is no.
"Right! She could only aim at the softest part of the Minotaurs if she wanted a chance against those! And she only has a small fragile dagger which can only be used to blind it and maybe disable it for a few seconds!" Tiona added.
While dealing with the first Minotaur, Aika thought of something good and wanted to try it right away. Using the same principle as the 'failed Flash Step', she cast it on her hand and using the Minotaur's chest as 'foothold' Aika was able to launch her fist upwards, dragging including her whole body.
The 'rocket uppercut' successfully hit the Minotaur's chin and its feet were lifted by a few feet off the air. As Aika continued to soar for a bit longer than the Minotaur, the monster first landed on the ground and while coming down, Aika endured the pain of her broken knuckle and pulled out her last dagger and dropped it down on one of the Minotaur's eyes, giving it the same fate as the first one.
"What the hell!? What's up with that strange movement!? These guys are weird!" Tione couldn't believe what she's seeing. Since Aika stood back up, they have been breaking all of their expectations. However, they couldn't stop predicting the battlefield as that is already second nature for them, "I guess she would retreat now since she doesn't have a weapon any... What!? Is she trying to die!? What she is going to do without a weapon!?"
Yet again, contrary to their expectations, Aika continued charging towards the last Minotaur.
"No weapon?" Medusa suddenly giggled, "She still has some though." Because of the turn of events, Medusa could already let go of the nervousness that she's feeling. Even though only one of the Minotaurs is killed, Sona was about to change that.
Everyone from Loki Familia then tried searching for the weapon that Aika could use but couldn't find any from her vicinity so they were confused about the weapon Medusa is talking about.
Due to its companions going down in quick succession, the last Minotaur became scared. But it still swung its club downwards towards Aika. However, Aika stopped in time and was able to step back a little bit before charging forward again, using the Minotaur's club and arm path towards its head.
As the Loki Familia was wondering what will Aika do without a weapon, Aika leaped forward and grabbed her disfigured arm and ripped it off, "AHHHH!!!!!" Due to pain, she couldn't help but scream, but despite that, using the tip of the sharp broken bone of her upper hand, she stabbed one of the Minotaur's eyes.
" " " She's mad!!! " " "
Medusa chuckled and said, "Sharp bones make a fine weapons too~."
