Chương 273: Chapter 264 ( Dragons Rioting - XI )
"Okay, that I didn't expect... but I'm satisfied" - Cloud said as he felt his emotions become a bit more manageable - "At least now I understand how to get and increase the level of [Will]... although in retrospect it makes sense..."
Cloud slowly watched as Ren took the sword firmly as he felt the concentrated gaze of everyone else present in the arena - "Oh~? You guys want to join in too?"
"I don't want to fight you, Cloud-sama..." - Asuna immediately replied - "And I'm sure many here share my same opinion."
The girls around her nodded, though this was because they didn't want to fight a monster like Cloud because they knew things would end very badly for them.
"Say it for yourself, I want to fight him, but I can't because of these damn injuries" - Kyōka snorted while moaning in pain as she felt how the m���dicos were treating her - "Ugh... that's why I hate doctors and nurses..."
"Be quiet and concentrate on your recovery, daughter" - Ryōko said while rolling her eyes at her - "Now, you'd better not do anything stupid because I don't want you to end up much more hurt than you are."
"I know when to stop, Kaasan" - said Kyōka with discomfort because she could tell how everyone was looking at her with a smile - "What?"
"It's interesting to see you with such a submissive attitude, but we'd better leave that for another time" - Cloud said as he rolled his eyes at the girl, to fully focus on Ren who was moving the huge sword in order to adapt to the weight and shape of his new weapon.
"Strange... I don't feel anything out of the ordinary, but something tells me that this sword is not something common..." - Ren said as she looked at the blond, who to her surprise, still didn't throw herself as she had before.
"If you knew the origin of that sword, you wouldn't think the same" - Cloud replied as he closed his eyes in order to resist the murderous impulses that were inhabiting his mind.
The sword Cloud threw at Ren was a common one, it's just that after 'absorbing' the blood of hundreds of zombies and the odd human, as well as traveling from one world to another, it acquired certain qualities that made it evolve, though nothing out of control.
". . ." - Ren shook her head and looked fiercely at the blond as her Ki(?) increased again - "Thanks for giving me a weapon, now I'm going to fight with everything I've got."
". . ." - Cloud just kept silent as he watched Ren throw herself at him, with a now much more vivid aura.

"Strange... Cloud seems to have calmed down a bit..." - Chifuyu said as she frowned as she noticed how the blond seemed to have focused.
"That's good for us..." - Rintarō said as he focused on the two Dragons fighting.
"I think it's a good time for us to join forces and get this over with." replied Rino as she earned a glare from all of Cloud's 'allies' - "What?"
"I know you want to defeat Cloud Strife... but I think you're forgetting one small detail..." - Kako said neutrally - "If we unite together, it's possible that he'll get out of control again, it's even possible that things will get out of hand."
Shizuka cocked her head to the side as she watched Ren fly off with a full bloody face - "Ok, that's not very kind."
"There's no such thing as kindness on the battlefield no matter how many women we are" - Kyōka replied as she looked at the blonde - "You should know that seeing how you hurt so many girls"
"Actually that was Erin-chan... I didn't hurt anyone" - replied Shizuka while shaking her head at high speed.
"That's true..." - Erin replied as she looked around in confusion because they seemed to be looking at her as if she had a second head - "?"
"It's just that I'm surprised that you're talking now" - said Rino while raising an eyebrow.
". . ." - Erin fell silent and moved closer to Shizuka so she could whisper in her ear.
"Oh... I see..." - Shizuka nodded as she looked around - "She said she's still not used to talking out loud... and honestly it doesn't help that everyone's staring at her either..."
Erin averted her gaze, but if one were to notice well, one would notice that her ears were slightly red because to her, there was nothing more embarrassing than talking out loud.
"We'd better get back to the subject before we forget" - Chifuyu said seriously as she watched Ren again fly off - "We'd better make a decision before Ren turns into a soccer.
". . ." - Rino was silent as she watched her sister being treated like a rag doll.
"I say we help her" - Kyōka said as she shrugged - "Or so I would say if it wasn't for these wounds that girl gave me..."
"I don't regret anything..." - Rena snorted as she rolled her eyes at him - "Anything for Cloud-sama."
"Anything for Cloud-sama" - nodded Asuna firmly as everyone looked at her - "What?"
"Are they starting some kind of religion?" - Rino asked with a frown.
"Oh, that wouldn't be a bad idea, but no... it's just that Cloud-sama has given us too much" - Asuna replied as she shrugged - "Mostly me."
"Oh, that I can assure you" - snorted Chifuyu as she rolled her eyes at him.
". . ." - Asuna blushed as she heard Chifuyu's words as the others gave her a blank look at how quickly they changed the subject.
"We'd better get back to the main topic" - Isami said as she looked at her teammates - "Cloud-sama is reacting much earlier than we had been informed, but he still seems to be influenced by his weapon... so I propose that we help Ren before she is defeated."
". . ." - Asuna gave her companion an annoyed look as she released a bit of her threatening aura - "I hope you have more than enough reason to be able to excuse your words of betrayal towards Cloud-sama."
"I'm only saying that because the moment he's done with Ren-san, we'll follow" - Isami replied as she shook her head - "That's why I'm proposing this plan."
". . ." - Asuna was about to say something, but kept silent when she felt two hands on her shoulders, being those of Chifuyu and Shizuka who were shaking their heads - "Girls?"
"What Isami says is true, the moment Cloud defeats Ren, he will come against us" - Chifuyu answered because she had read the mission information. In it she clearly specified that Cloud was not recognizing her subordinates and recruits as allies despite recognizing them and having memories of them.
"But... it's impossible for Cloud-sama to hurt us..." - Asuna said with a frown.
"Believe me, it is possible... at least under these circumstances" - replied Chifuyu while shaking her head - "Normally you would be right, but when he is influenced by [Incursio], things change because that thing makes.... How could I explain it?"
Chifuyu quickly gave a glance to Shizuka, who was a bit confused on how to explain the situation.
"Maybe he thinks he was betrayed or something?" - Rino spoke after analyzing the words of the subordinate of her most powerful enemy.
"I don't think that's the situation, but it's something similar" - replied Chifuyu while nodding - "I don't know how it's affecting his mind, but right now, we're not Cloud's allies... at least not in his mind."
"I see..." - Rino muttered while frowning - "This complicates things a bit..."
"What do you mean, Rino-sama?" - Shū asked as she looked at her leader.
"Because if he is not contained, then the pressure on us will not lessen" - Rino replied seriously as she watched Chifuyu nod.
"That's true" - nodded Chifuyu - "If he were to restrain himself, then things would be much simpler... we would hold him back while you guys tire him out bit by bit..."
"Too bad things didn't turn out the way you thought" - Cloud said as he appeared in front of the group of women who hadn't sensed his presence until he spoke - "Hello..."
"Cloud-sama?" - Asuna asked as she approached the blond carefully.
"Stay away!" - Ren exclaimed as she ran in the direction where the others were - "We're not done yet!"
"Hmm..." - Cloud gave Asuna a discreet glance as he extended his hand in her direction, only to stop midway before focusing completely on Ren - "Ok, you have my attention again... I just hope it doesn't end all so quickly this time..."
[Will +2... Currently 5]
[Time of [Bloodlust], Reduced to 8 minutes and counting...]...]
Cloud watched Asuna carefully for a few seconds before running so he could impact weapons with Ren again, leaving the black-haired girl all sweaty all over her back because she could feel the cold presence of a predator slowly approaching her.
"Ok, I didn't expect that... I guess he still has some self-control..." - Rino said as she started to think - "It's possible we can use this to our advantage..."
"Or it's possible that it's just a one time thing" - Chifuyu answered seriously - "If I'm honest with you, I don't think it's a good idea to accept this as a general thing..."
"She's right... it's better to be safe than sorry" - nodded Isami.
