Will of the Herrscher

Ch-12 The Rescue

No one's POV

Me and Kurumi stood inside the containment room with Nia's unconscious body while dozens of soldiers all gathered with their territories and CR suits activated.

"Surrender! You're surrounded!!"

This made both me and Kurumi laugh at them. Surrender ? That's the most pathetic thing I've heard all day.

"What's so funny?!"

Ignoring them, I put a hand on my face and laughed out loudly like a maniac. I then stopped and gave them a little side gaze, sending waves of Honkai energy just from this action alone.

"Die."

Before they could react, the entire room was run through with Honkai energy and all of the soldiers disintegrated. Watching this scene unfold, Kurumi couldn't help but laugh. "As I said before, I am not needed here."

"Actually you are." I looked at Nia's bleeding and injured form. She had several stab wounds, her body was pulsating and convulsing. I have no idea what kind of substance was injected into her or if the hell she had to go through, but her healing factor was extremely slow. She couldn't recover from such wounds quickly. She needed help.

"Kurumi. She needs help quickly!"

Kurumi nodded her head and pointed her flintlock at Nia. A shadow entered the barrel of the flintlock and she shot a bullet at her.

"Zaphkiel. Bet!" The bullet hit the mark and the external time on Nia's body was slowed down. That's good. That'll buy some more time.

Even though we could both manipulate time, when it comes down to pure unadulterated power, I was much superior to her. I grabbed Nia and made her way through the hallways.

Suddenly, a blast was shot at Kurumi, who gracefully dodged the blast and moved back. Something or someone landed right in front of us. I narrowed my eyes, recognising that blue hair and those brown eyes. It was Adeptus 2. Mana Takamiya. Shido's biological sister.

This made me facepalm. Of course Wescott would send her here. Well, no matter. It's better this way. Now I can take Mana back to Shido and deal with her there. If we manage to get her on our side early, then it would be great.

"Nightmare! You will not leave this place alive!" She declared.

"Kihihihihi! Are you sure about that, Mana Takamiya ? Well then, let's see who dies." She pulled out her musket and a shadow went into it.

She then began shooting at Mana, who took those shots without flinching. "Haven't you learnt from all of our encounters before ? Those bullets won't work on me!"

She brought out a massive claymore and rushed at us, dodging the bullets being shot at her by Kurumi.

"Zaphkiel! Seventh bullet. Zayin." She shot at Mana, who smacked the bullet away. She then tried to attack Kurumi, who stood there with her classic smug look on her face. But she never hit her as the bullets effect sprung into action and she was suddenly frozen in midair.

"Kihihihi! How gullible~" She slid her hand across Mana's cheek and smirked.

"Kurumi! Don't kill her." I told her and she backed away.

My eyes glowed as I stretched an arm out towards her. "Let's take her back to Shido and the others. Return with us, Mana Takamiya."

Instantly, Mana's eyes started to close as her body staggered. She dropped down on her knees with a dead look and stared forwards. She deactivated her CR suit and territory and dropped her weapon. She then looked down without emotion, accepting defeat. This sudden development shocked Kurumi, who didn't understand this change in her behaviour.
