Universal Tale -The First Saga [Vol-1]

💧Chapter 23 - Ishiki's Overcoming

( Io started to slowly walk towards Ishiki with a dead-eye look that didn't show any mercy on him )

{Io}: Anyone who overpowers me, Mazakade Io, daughter of Mazakade Clan's leader shall get their opportunity...

..to taste their own blood!

There should be no one in this world that is capable of defeating the Mazakade. If there is one that emerges, I won't even hesitate to break their bones into mushes, shatter their spirit...

..and even taking their lives for the worst case.

( As she approaches, "a powerful gust" came bashing towards her and escapes by jumping over it )

( She looks on her left with an annoying face and sees "Akashi" in the distance with an angry face. His eyes get sharpened after releasing that gust attack on her )

{Io}: Pfft! A wind ritual just like Nerami's...

{Akashi}: Don't even dare to take a single step, Io. Stop this madness once and for all!

{Ishiki}: (opens one of his eyes) Heuhh...

{Akashi}: ( Ishiki still has some consciousness, I have to take him to the hospital as soon as possible... )

{Io}: (smiles) Oh! Is that warning for me I assume?... How cute of you!

( Akashi gets angry hearing that. On the other side, Nerami slowly stood up touching her stomach that she got kneaded )

{Io}: Oh my! I thought I hit you hard enough..(smrik)

{Nerami}: (coughs)

{Io}: ..Guess I have to give that pest a safe place.

( She raises her hand at Nerami's direction, spawning a "mud-dry sand" underneath Nerami which slowly starts spreading on till her neck. She got stuck into that hardened dry sand like a caged animal )

{Akashi}: NERAMI!!

( As Io closes her fist, the hardened sand gets even tighter that made Nerami scream in pain and fades away )

{Nerami}: (screams)

{Akashi}: TSK, HOW DARE YOUUUUUU!!
