Chapter 8 - König vs 1st Custody Unit (1).

"Tch, I can't believe that bastard died." Cecily clicked her tongue in annoyance. Three red magic circles appeared behind her and more Soul Hunters breached them.

König narrowed his eyes and waited for them to charge him.

"RAAAAHHHH!!!" They roared and sprinted towards König on all fours. König stabbed his blade into the ground and clasped his hands together.

"Göttliches Skelett!" He yelled as reishi began to condense around him and they formed a rib cage with two large skeletal arms. In a flash, he was between two Soul Hunters and the skeletal arms grabbed their skulls.

"DIE!" He roared as he slammed them against the ground, turning their heads into paste. The final Soul Hunter was punched in the gut, tearing a large hole in its torso.

König then flipped around and caught Cecily's sword with his skeletal hands.

*BOOM*

He threw her into the wall and she landed outside the prison, which was a large mountain range. She rolled along the snow before she hit a boulder that stopped her.

'This is what Captain had to fight?!' Cecily thought with a tinge of fear. She wiped the blood from her lips and stood up. She placed her hands on the ground and spoke, "Transfiguration Magic-"

Before she could finish her spell, König was gripping her skull with his skeletal arms. He squeezed her skull making her scream in agony, "AAAAHHHHH!!!"

She flailed her body around rapidly but managed to regain her wits and touched his skeletal arm with her right hand. Immediately, the arm bubbled up and exploded.

König shielded his face and when the dust cleared Cecily was nowhere to be found. Until he looked up and saw a massive black serpent descending upon him. He jumped into the air and made a large sword to fit into his remaining skeletal hand.

*SHLINK*

He sliced the snake in half and then pushed off the air to face the ground. Cecily was below summoning more creatures.

He reformed his left skeletal arm and then created a gigantic bow, the arrow was just as large and was flaming.

Cecily looked up in horror, "TRANSFIGURATION MAGIC: ULTIMATE DEFENSIVE MONSTROSITY!" All of the creatures she summoned melted together and formed a thick dome of flesh around her.

"Henry's Arrow." König let the arrow fly and it zipped through the air fast enough to create a sonic boom. It pierced through her dome of flesh with ease and stabbed right through Cecily as well.

*BOOM*

It then exploded with enough force to shake the mountain they were fighting on. The shockwave knocked König out of the air but he landed on the ground gracefully.

He thought he was done until a gigantic green magic circle appeared above the prison. Time began to reverse. Bricks of the prison flew back into place, prisoners and guards caught in the crossfire began to wake up and Kan Guy's corpse was also restored.

"What a broken ability…" König sighed and got ready to fight again. Cecily awoke and sweated, "I-I died…he actually managed to kill me!"

Kan Guy on the other hand was seething, "I'M GOING TO RIP THAT MOTHERFUCKER TO SHREDS!" He roared as he tore through the prison walls and ended up outside. His rocky skin now had hot magma between the gaps.

The person responsible for their revival slowly descended from the sky. Kan Guy looked up to greet him, Mori Oh Cho.

He was a young boy dressed in a school uniform. His black hair flowed with the wind and his green eyes scanned the area, "You're lucky I made it in time. One minute later and you would've been out of my five-minute range."

"Yeah, yeah, yeah thanks, kid. Now help us kill this son of a bitch!" Kan Guy roared and Mori shook his head, "There is no need for us to fight him to the death, Captain is on her way here with the 2nd Commander. She told me to stall for time and not to die. But it seems you two have already failed half of that directive."

Cecily broke out of her flesh dome and regrouped with Kan Guy and Mori. Meanwhile, König breached the treeline and stood a distance away from the trio.

"Look who came back from the dead! I guess I didn't kill you hard enough huh? Don't worry, I won't make the same mistake twice." He said with a mocking laugh. Kan Guy gnashed his teeth and sprinted forward, "I'LL FUCKING KILL YOU!"

"I'd like to see you try!" König laughed as he sprinted forward as well. Kan Guy widely swung his halberd, which was pure magma now. König flipped over him and elbowed him in the spine. Kan Guy fell to his knees and König kicked him in the head, sending him flying away.

He then jumped to the left dodging a massive disfigured snake that came from below. He then sidestepped to the left again to dodge a downward strike from Kan Guy.

"Don't you find it odd?" Mori asked Cecily who was creating more monsters, "Find what odd?"

"The way he keeps dodging. He's not dodging out of reflex. He's maneuvering in a way that indicates he sees or feels the attacks before they happen, like some sort of foresight..." Mori held his chin in his hand as he examined König's fighting style.

As a test, he fired a magic bolt at König's head. Before the attack even left his finger, König already had a small shield ready to block the bolt.

"I see. I believe he can see the future in some capacity. That explains how he managed to dodge Captain's slashes." Mori mumbled to himself before facing Cecily.

"Our foe can see into the future. I don't know his range but it seems he can see at least 30 seconds into the future." He said to Cecily who patted his head, "So that noggin of yours can be used for something other than games and math."

She then looked at the fight between König, Guy, and her monsters, "How do we beat a guy who can see the future?"

"With overwhelming force. But that isn't our job, we only have to stall him until the Captain and 2nd Commander get here." Mori said and Cecily nodded.

König ducked under another swing from Kan Guy and uppercutted him before grabbing his leg and slamming him into the ground. He then rolled to the left, dodging a punch from a Soul Hunter.

His eyes were bloodshot now from the continuous strain of The Almighty, 'My visions of the future are getting blurrier and blurrier. I wanted to save my alter for when I fought Lollipop but I need this fight to end!'

He exhaled and closed his eyes, 'I'll end it in a different way. That last alter is crucial to defeating Lollipop.'

Reishi began to condense around him again and formed a rib cage. But he went beyond, the rib cage gained a spine, which grew legs, arms, and eventually a giant humanoid was created.

'I believe the Naruto universe would call this ability, the Susanoo.' He grinned as his pseudo-susanoo stood at its full height. It completely dwarfed the prison and the mountain they were on.

"WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT?!" Kan Guy yelled in shock. Cecily and Mori were in shock as well.

"How much ethernano does this guy have?! If I even tried making something that big I would die!" She exclaimed.

König's Susanoo had the appearance of a medieval knight with the Quincy cross on its breastplate. He placed his giant hand on his equally giant sword and when it came out of its sheath, enough ethernano to flatten a city was released.

*WHOOSH*

The air pressure from such an action flattened every tree in the vicinity and blew the snow off the mountain tops. Cecily, Kan Guy, and Mori were blown away.

A winged creature grabbed Mori and Cecily while Guy made platforms of earth. They regrouped and stared at the Susanoo in horror.

"Can the Captain even deal with that?" Cecily asked and a voice behind her laughed, "Of course I can, don't you know who I am."

They turned around a purple-haired woman dressed in knight's armor laughed. Behind her was a massive man dressed in flowing white robes and a unique mask on his face. It had no mouth or eye holes but had eyes drawn all over it.

In his presence, Mori, Cecily, and Kan Guy felt a heavy pressure on their shoulders.

"I'll deal with him, stay here make sure they don't die please Wakamikihamo." She smiled and the man nodded. He sat down in the lotus position.

König felt a familiar ethernano signature and grinned savagely, 'My enemy is finally here! I'll make sure you die a slow death Lollipop.'

"I don't know if you can hear me from down here, but tell me your name before I kill you! I'm not asking because I care, I'm asking so I can put your name next to that girl…Connie?" Lollipop asked with a mocking laugh. König couldn't contain his anger and swung his massive sword at her.

His sword ripped through the ground, destroying everything in its path. Lollipop giggled as she leaped high into the air, near König's massive head.

"Kai!" She pointed her finger and hundreds of slashes began to tear into König's susanoo. They were continuous and rapid, to the point where König couldn't keep up with the upkeep of regenerating each part. He deconstructed the Susanoo and landed on the ground away from Lollipop.

"Ready for round two? This time I won't have as much mercy, you'll lose more than an arm kid." Lollipop said with a cold expression. König grinned as he drew his blade, "You'd better make sure I die this time."
