Kingdom Hearts: Saving Life in Another World

Chapter 70: The way of the people

Subaru and Sora continued to dodge a couple of the woman's attacks while Todd and the others waited for an opening, all of them aware of how dangerous their shared opponent is.

Larkin would assist the two keyblade wielders as best as he can, firing arrows the moment he saw an opening.

Although Larkin was skilled in the way of archery, all of his arrows would get destroyed by that barrier the woman had placed around her.

"Shit. I can't do anything with that damn wind protectin' her. Can ya two do somethin' about it?"

As Larkin says this, he notices the woman throw a powerful wind attack at his direction.

The archer noticed this and quickly dodged the attack just barely, feeling a piece of his hair cut off.

While Larkin recovered his stance, Sora and Subaru both waited for the right moment before trying to close in on their shared opponent, with their goal being to destroy the wind barrier protecting their opponent.

"You ready?"

"Yeah."

The two keyblade wielders waited for a second before charging in together at the woman in white robes. As the two were closing in, the woman started to send her most dangerous looking attacks towards the duo.

The two stopped on their tracks while creating a combined barrier, enough to counter the woman's strong attack. Both keyblade wielders were giving it their all in pushing back the attack yet they noticed that the barrier was starting to break.

"We need a plan, Sora. I can be a decoy while you take the finishing blow."

"No, I won't allow you to do that, Subaru. We will work together. Our combined strength will help us win."

Subaru paused for a moment, always admiring when his master shows kindness and strength yet he knows that they can't take on a threat like this together since they are constantly being pushed back.

This prompted the boy to quickly turn towards his master while saying to him in a respectful manner,

"I appreciate the respect but we need to be smart about this. We can't keep charging at her together since we keep ending up in this situation."

Sora had a moment to process what his apprentice and friend had said to him.

This lead him to analyze how the fight has been going, seeing that they have been on the defensive for a while now.

Because of this, Sora sigh before reluctantly saying,

"...true. Alright, just be careful."

"I will. Just make sure to be ready because we might only get one shot at this.

"Understood."

The two nodded at each other before looking forward, waiting for the right opportunity before jumping out of the way the exact second the barrier broke.

The woman noticed this and couldn't help but smirk at this, seeing that the two keyblade wielders were extremely skilled compared to their allies.

"You two aren't like the other ants. You both must be super ants."

"Okay, that makes no sense at all! Besides, we are humans! Not animals!" Subaru retorted, annoyed that his opponent was speaking of them as if they were animals. The woman just looked at Subaru for a second before sending a couple of wind based attacks.

The boy waited for a second before managing to dodge the attacks with Larkin preparing to fire a couple of arrows.

While this was going on, Jamal wished to join in despite being injured from one of the woman's attacks.
