Danzai started becoming nauseous after a while and puked just as rin climbed down from the window
"Ew.... What's wrong with you?"
"I felt nauseous "
Rin stares at danzai in silence instead of letting him down which annoyed him a little
"Help me will you?"
"What do you embody?"
"Dunno..."
"Don't give me that crap.... "
Rin seemed to be angry that danzai would hide what he embodies not knowing he didn't even know it in the first place. Rin actions triggered sn argument between them but they suddenly hear a thud from outside which notified them or someone's presence
After contemplating,rin decides to release danzai. Their annoyed gaze met each other and turned just as the door was broken down
"You stay back,you don't know how to fight yet" Rin made an effort to play hero but danzai ignored and walked forward to the person standing at the door. As the dust clears, danzai notices the boy and his sister and stopped in his tracks only to be outdone in a flash. Before he could grasp the situation, his head was on the verge of being sliced off but rin rescued him with a crucial block.
Danzai's mind went blank as he tried to process what had just happened to him and how he was snatched from death's door. Rin on the other hand made a move to attack the boy but he widened the distance between them then sighs in annoyance
"What a drag..."
The girl on his back finally spoke up after a while of silence
"Brother.... Boss didn't tell us another embodiment would be here"
"Yeah... that's why you are here"
The boy proceeds to put down the girl which slightly surprised the rin given that he hadn't noticed her on his back all this time.
Rin decided to inquire about them"Who are you guys?"
"Oh shoot.... sorry for the delay in introducing ourselves, my name is Arthur and my sister's name is cloud"
Rin became shocked at their etiquette and lowered his guard. Even upon noticing, Arthur made no move to attack which confuses someone as clueless as danzai when it came to fighting. To add to their surprise, Arthur and cloud bows their heads at them
"What's all this.... First you guys attack us, now you bow?"
Arthur spoke up
"We were sent by Sakamoto and another woman to take you and any embodiment we see to a safe place until the killers are killed.....we simply mistook you for the enemy"
"Oh..."
Rin sat on the ground exhausted after fighting a mental battle. Danzai walks to Arthur and talks with him while cloud sat close to rin with a smile.
"Arthur.... Where's Sakamoto sensei?"
"Dunno...."
"Eh..."
"Yup..."
"What embodiment are you guys"
"Oh... Light and darkness"
Danzai was speechless at first upon hearing those words
"Huh..."
"I'm light.... And she's darkness"
Awesome... two strongest abilities
"Where are we supposed to go to now...."
"The billions arc building is far east of here but we won't make it in time"
"We won't know unless we try"
Arthur stares at rin for a while then walks up to him
"Let's go Rin..."
Arthur carries Rin on his back but cloud becomes annoyed.
"Big bro..... Hmph"
"You're meant to carry danzai right?"
"I'm okay I'm okay "
Arthur comes up with an idea
"Danzai, can you carry her?"
"Yeah sure.... Why though?"
Arthur explains cloud's illness that makes her weak on the leg and he decides to help her given that he still has a lot of strength left.
***
Ai and the others watch in silence as sky engages in a one sided battle with the small girl leaving no opening for him to attack. The thought that they she used her chess board to dominate the place was shocking
Give me an opening dammit
"Hey you.... Did you lose your parents?"
"What is it to you?"
With a swift dash,sky closes the distance between them and tries to grab the chess board but she moves a rook which causes buildings to slam into him. although he tried to evade,they succeeded in giving him some critical injuries. Nevertheless he makes another attempt to grab her this time but she moves a bishop from the chess which shift her further from him.
all Miya and the others could do was what in surprise.no one dared to interfere in their fight that was obviously not going the way it was initially planned.sky tried his luck one more time,but this time he didn't go for her from the ground but from above her planning to destroy the chess board that seemed to be her power source. As he approached her, she moved the bishop but this time,a snake monster came up from the earth and tried to swallow him but he quickly evaded and destroyed the monster with one attack.
Amidst the dust,he swoops in and smashes the chess then follows with a spinkick that sent her smashing through a building.after feeling fulfilled,he healed himself and waited for her response. After a while of silence, he decided to check her himself. He found her sitting on the ground with teary eyes and felt pity towards her then made an effort to carry her. As he tried, she bursts out in tears and began to wail loudly
Sky's inexperience with Children made him confused at what he should do at that point.
Oh shit
As he lowered his guard to assist the girl,a woman appears behind him and sends him crashing through buildings with a single strike
Ai and the others lie cold on the ground as she had already done significant damage to them. She picks up the girl and pierces her nail into her head
"Stupid.... Why didn't you finish them off"
The girl continued to cry as the action performed on her was a sort of torture
"I made mistake picking you.... I should have killed you together with your human parents"
"Oh.... So she's a human after all"
What... I landed a clean hit on him
"You're really awesome you know.... I didn't even detect your presence until the last second"
Sky casually strolled out of the crater he had digged with little to no scratch on him. He smiled, feeling energized by the woman's attack
"If I hadn't maxed out my defense there... It would have been fatal"
The woman throws the girl to one side and readies herself for battle
"Oh well..."
Sky raises the girl up and heals her injury as he tries to make her stop crying. The woman was shocked and speechless at the speed he used to close the distance, evading her presence detection.
"What are you?"
Sky looks at her with a merciless gaze in his eyes
