Chapter 15: Chapter 15: Cursed eyes and watches
"Yeah, now it's the spirits' turn."
Raising my right hand, I quickly summon my Sandalphon from my temporary inventory.
[Sandalphon Sword Summoning successful, you only have 1 Sandalphon stored!]
I quickly start running in the middle of the street, while many of the people who were running towards the underground base... I was going to the opposite side of the underground protection, in search of where the tremor might be strongest.
"Hey, stop running the other way, kid! Get to the underground base!"
I heard the shout of one of the policemen who was ordering me to go to the inner base, but I ignored it and kept running forward without thinking about anything else... many cars and policemen were trying to help everyone go to the underground base and stay there for a while until the tremor calmed down.
People who were at home were also running out into the street, leaving their homes for temporary protection with other survivors.
If this is such a dangerous world, my system will never evolve if I don't seek to fulfill the missions that may follow.
[You are exposed to a small amount of Reiryoku Energy, which is an energy belonging to the spirits... you can acquire this energy source by sealing some of these spirits at will ].
The system emphasizes that I can have this energy flowing through my veins if I create a seal on a spirit, thus... being able to use their abilities at will.
I was already running so fast that I was close to the center where the density of chaos was heaviest, and when I looked up at the sky while holding the sword firmly in my right hand... a silhouette was slowly descending towards the street.
"What a familiar silhouette, I could see her dress highlighted in black, orange with red blends and her big boots that gave her more height over her imposing figure."
The further she descended, the more I could clearly see who was slowly floating down... and realizing this in more detail, I ended up gripping the sword tighter and pointing it forward.
The sensation of watching that girl was the same sensation I felt when I shot her own gun at my head... tension.
"Tsck..."
With her eyes that distinguished yellow and red, and her watch embedded in the iris in the yellow part, I was sure who was coming here.
"Ara ara... let's see, a human with a gun in front of me, how interesting."
She sensed my presence, with her graceful voice emphasizing that laugh, I could hear her from 2km away.
Her body began to move towards me, but the distance between us was seven paces... then we began to stare at each other without stopping, without saying a word.
"Tell me, why did you want to be exposed to me? Knowing your fate for trying to threaten me with this weapon?"
Kurumi asks me in a calm but intimidating tone... I understood the current difference in power between us, a manipulative clock can destroy even the last star in the universe
"Can't I have some fun with you? Aren't you the one who loves playing Russian roulette with that gun of yours, shooting yourself in the head every day?"
I end up teasing her a little with a bad joke that ends up making Kurumi a little serious, but she quickly laughs it off.
"Haha! So you know how my abilities work? I found that interesting... where do you know me from, kid?"
"I don't need to know someone who's already given me access to his deadly weapon to the point where I have to shoot myself in the head for fear of sabotage... I'm only here to seal you in, Kurumi."
Raising my sword towards her face, explicitly threatening the share of her power... she ended up making an evil smile while hiding her eyes in her hair.
"A human lost his existence from the moment you were born, you took his place... and I feel this little Reiryoku Energy surging through your veins, and that's not normal."
Kurumi approaches me, with her right index finger, she tries to push the sword aside as a way of getting close to my ear.
"I'm feeling something I haven't felt in years... this is genuine pleasure, however, I won't let you seal me, you'll fall here... since your sword is just a poorly made replica that only has one ability with almost zero Reiryoku energy."
With a quick reaction, I jump backwards to avoid being close to her and with the raise of the sword, I make a cut in the air and a blast of energy comes out of the blade, heading towards Kurumi.
Kurumi's body was motionless, she was spreading her arms so that she could be hit by the Sandalphon's power cut... and without feeling any pity, I launched the energy blast at her body, leaving everything around her filled with smoke because of the skill I had used, causing the dust from the street to mix with the air.
"Cof cof... how much smoke, she let herself get hit by the skill, why?"
The smoke slowly dissipated, and I could see her standing in the same place where she was hit... and only the part of her dress from her chest to her belly was torn, and I could see her skin exposed and a part of her left breast also exposed.
"That blast was just point-blank range... as if her dress was like the armor of a golden knight from the zodiac era." I reflected as I watched, not saying a word at the sight of such force.
Kurumi raises his weapon and points it at me silently, and with my sword, I place it in front of me as a way of defending myself against the next attack.
"Gimmel."
Hearing that word, she shoots the blade of my sword and it hits hard enough to make me fall to the ground and the Sandalphon flies through the air.
As I look up at the sword in the sky, it begins to rust rapidly, destroying its entire structure until there is crystalline dust hovering in the air.
"What was that skill...?"
Kurumi, who was still silent, looked at me with a serious face, not laughing in the slightest.
"Premature aging."
With two words, she tells me how her power works... However, I get up from the asphalt to stand and open my system to use my last sword, but as I try to summon it, I end up being hit by a beam of blue light from the sky, making me disappear from where Kurumi was standing.
