Chapter 48: The White Tiger's Awakening

[Third Person Point of View]

"That should have taken him out," she said as she looked far beneath, she could feel his life force still, but it was escaping him fast.

That human was quite strong for his age. Perhaps she'd revive him as a Reincarnated Devil later, after finishing the mission for which they were here.

"Rarzon," she said and looked at her eldest son, who was still lying on the ground after fighting the human. He was healing fast, and he wasn't knocked out. "What is the situation? Where is this?"

"Grandmother, let me," said Rargrig, her grandson whom she recalled was so young before she fell asleep.

"You are the current Head? You've grown." She said with a smile, "Now explain."

She had regained her consciousness not long after she was brought near the volcano. She just couldn't move. She could hear and sense everything around her though, that's why she hadn't hesitated to attack that human because she knew he was an enemy. Her eldest son had naturally sensed that she was awake, that's why he threw her to the volcano, where she willed for the Fire Stone to come to her. It was all a smooth process.

She still lacked the overall context of the situation, though. But Rargrid needed only half a minute to make her understand what was going on. She frowned after hearing his explanation. Personally, she wouldn't have picked a fight with the Shinto Gods, but oh well, here they were. It was for her own survival too, so she couldn't blame her descendants.

"Alright, I get the gist of it." she waved her hand and the sky split apart with a red hue. "The gateway to the Far Shore. Follow me, I'll deal with that Sakuya girl."

She said and rose towards the crack in the sky. At the last moment, Rarzon coughed and got up. "Mother, we still have someone here. Should we wait for him to return?"

"He is dead," she said. "There are two more rats here, so deal with them later if you want. It's not like they can escape."

"...Understood," Rarzon lowered his head and nodded. He felt bad that his brother was dead, but he had to follow his mother's cold and progressional role.

Then, the one devil ancestor led the three devils into the crack of space of time. They appeared in the heavenly realm of Sakuya, where she was winning the battle until then. Until Ranefer Phenex, the Phoenix Demon appeared.

On the other side of the mountain, opposite where the portal was created, Mem and Mai were together. They huffed, out of breath, as they looked at the messed up body near their feet.

"We just... killed someone," Mem-Cho cursed under her breath.

Near their feet, lay a devil man whose face had caved in his own skull, thanks to the kick he received from Mai.

The devil man was out of their league, he had strength and firepower beyond what they could endure. If they didn't react fast and deal with him, he'd kill them. They had no other choice but to go all out from the start, taking advantage of the fact that the old man didn't take them seriously and was playing with them.

Mem used her Power of Time to capture the man inside her time bubble, pausing him, and then allowing Mai to kick him in the face. Mai kicked him a few times, after which Mem let his personal time flow normally, except she kept his regenerative powers slowed down to a terrible level. That caused the man, whose body suffered from the wound but his healing didn't react, to die from the kick since his brain was mashed with his own bones.
