Isekai Mizuki S1 - A World With Demons

Chapter 96 - VS Wakuraba: REMATCH

Muichiro, Yuichiro and Yushiro got a text from Isekai. The text was just straight-to-the-point, immediately telling the three where Rokuro's old hideout was. They headed there as fast as they could.

When they arrived, they kept a low profile. "Isekai fought this thing last time, right? What did he say his power was again?" Yushiro asks. Muichiro remembered and told him. "I think he had a magic that could turn his body into a lethal mech robot? I'm aware that his arm could become a gatling gun at will," he explains.

"Well, let's be careful," Yuichiro mutters. "Yes, definitely be careful. You wouldn't want me popping behind you, now would you?" a voice says. Muichiro immediately implodes the area around him in mist.

The voice came from Wakuraba, the demon who once held the spot of Lower Moon Three. Out of his left arm, a machine gun appeared, and he started to shoot at Yuichiro. The older twin brother landed on the ground and started dodging the bullets. Muichiro charged at him from behind, and almost got his neck. "They're not the same ones I fought... but they're annoyingly swift!"

"Wait, wasn't there a third one? Where is he-"  he questions internally as his back is shot by three kunai spears. "What?! Where did it come from- wait, where are the other two?!" Wakuraba then questions. They already have him on the ropes, since Yushiro concealed them using his Blood Magic.

"Blindfold. I can pass these paper-made talismans around to others, and they can do things that can oppose and help one's sights. Conceal those who have a paper, show who is concealed to a person with a paper, make illusory objects, or be able to share the view of someone. This demon seems to not know about it yet, so we already have the upper hand,"  Yushiro thought.

Blindfold (A support-type magic that allows the user to create paper talismans which have the ability to hide or reveal something's presence. By placing these on certain objects of their choosing, the user can get rid of their presence. Otherwise, by placing it on someone's forehead, the user can enhance their vision by revealing the presence of masked objects.)

"WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU LITTLE RATS?!" Wakuraba yells, clearly angry. He keeps taking hits from multiple sides, and soon, he started to fight back. He drew the machine gun back, and two large blades grew out of his arms. "LET'S DANCE!" he yells, swinging at multiple sides.

The two attackers were, of course, Muichiro and Yuichiro, who were concealed by Yushiro's Blindfold magic. "So that magic of his can also transform his body into a mechanic... we should hurry and eliminate him, before anything bad could possibly happen," Yuichiro suggests. Muichiro dashes forward, and gets the first hit in.

"So fast...!" Wakuraba comments, jumping back. Muichiro charges at him again, and they lock into close combat. "He clearly doesn't know Muichiro's exact position. He can't see, so he doesn't know where to aim. But he will adapt soon if we don't hurry up...!" Yuichiro thought, dashing towards Wakuraba. He aims for his neck, but Wakuraba realizes what's happening, and he jumps backward.

"Clearly this isn't the fighters' work. The third one... the third one's doing this. I just need to find him, and kill him. I doubt they'll still be invisible once I find that little mouse..."  Wakuraba thought, searching around the arena. It didn't take him long to find Yushiro. Once he did, he charged at him.

"SHIT, HE'S HEADED FOR YUSHIRO! PROTECT HIM!" Muichiro realizes. He stops him immediately. "Damn it, of course you would stop me!" Wakuraba groans, landing onto the ground and backflipping away.

"You know what? I think I have an insta-fix for this," Wakuraba says, drawing back his blades. Then, his arms open again, and big, spiky flails drop out of them. They were attached to chains, which were also locked into his arms. He began to swing his arms around, and the chains kept extending and retracting. The flails kept smashing into everything, dealing immense damage to the terrain around them.

After a minute of this, Muichiro's talisman is knocked off of his head, so is Yuichiro's. "Ah, there you two are!" Wakuraba exclaims, switching his chained flails for a blade on his right arm, and a gun on his left. He charges at them, and he begins to slash and shoot at his opponents.

"Damn it, he knocked their talismans off! I've tried to give them more already, but holes are being shot into them because of the demon's gun...!"  Yushiro thought, moving to another area in the battlefield.

Yuichiro dealt a heavy impact, which caused Wakuraba to stumble back a little. Muichiro took that moment, and suddenly sliced off Wakuraba's head in an instant, along with a wire attaching it. However, he didn't die. Muichiro hopped out of the battlefield, and while Wakuraba tried to reattach his head, Yuichiro also vanished.

The twins reunited. "Why isn't he dead?" Yuichiro questions. Muichiro scoffs. "You think it would have been that easy to kill it? Something's been off from the beginning. You saw what was attached to his neck, right? A tough as-nails wire. I could cut it off, but my blade slipped through," Muichiro explains.

"So we have to slice the wire, and he'll die?" Yuichiro asks. "Pretty much," his twin brother answers. They see two talismans falling from above, and they both snatch it. "Let's make it fast," Yuichiro says. They put the talismans on their foreheads, and they leapt back up onto the battlefield.
