Follow the fallen stars

Sloth Chapter 2: Passing storm

Ram dodged all the attacks thrown by three of the four clones of the mysterious boy while Subaru was struggling to even land a hit on the fourth clone. Subaru realized that this was a big problem since he is essentially useless and might even get killed because of it.

'Damn you watcher, you fucking prick. You say this world is peaceful...DOES THIS LOOK FUCKING PEACEFUL?!'

While he was shouting this in his own mind, he continued to try to land a hit on his opponent with his whip.

The mysterious boy that was facing Subaru noticed this yet he didn't move as he figured he could dodge the attacks with ease. As the mysterious boy stands still, Subaru takes this opportunity to surprise him by preparing to use his invisible providence.

"You stand there like this is a cake walk." Subaru said, trying to trip up his opponent only to be meet with:

"Well it is, you are just as pathetic like him...actually, even more so."

'Pathetic like him? Is he referring to my counterpart? He has to be!'

With Subaru concluding to this, he was more determined than ever to try and win the fight, hoping that his win could get him some information on his counterpart of this world.

He continued to throw attacks with his whip, being careful to move his opponent to a specific location before using his trump card, Invisible Providence.

While Subaru was doing this, Ram continued to hold her own against three of the clones. She dodged a few attacks before starting to block off the rest with her superior strength.

As she blocked each attack, she had an odd feeling that this opponent of hers was similar to her in some way. She waited for a moment before managing to grab on one of the clone's fists.

As she does this, she takes this opportunity to use her oni power for the briefest of moments to land a knockout punch. The other two clones took notice of this and quickly reacted by pulling out their kunai, seeing that Ram isn't someone to take lightly.

"You'll regret that."

"Is that so?"

Ram gave the two clones of the mysterious boy a glare, one that caused the two to pause in their tracks for a second. Ram noticed this and quickly took her opportunity to use her wind magic to attack the two clones while they were stunned for that one second.

Just as the wind attack was about to hit the two clones, the clone dodging all of Subaru's attacks quickly leaves his fight with the incompetent boy to save his other two clones. He pushed the two out of the way before pulling out his kunai to block off Ram's attack. Both Subaru and Ram noticed this, seeing that they shouldn't underestimate the mysterious boy and his clones.

'Shit, I need to think of something and quickly or we will both be killed.'

The boy thought quickly on what he could do. He thought about using Invisible Providence like he was planning before his opponent decided to leave their fight yet he knew the risks.

Should he mess up, he would be useless and would leave Ram on a massive disadvantage. This prompted him to look at his whip, seeing how he isn't useful anyway considering just how easy his opponent was dodging all of his attacks.

'Damn. What the hell can we do?'

The boy thought and thought and thought until something came to his mind.

'What if I use Cor Leonis? That could work but that would still make me useless. Last time I used this on Ram, it was very straining on me...'
