Fate DxD

Chapter 63

A little earlier, before the storm dissipated.

"Hyahh!!!"

"Gahh!"

Yan Min kicks at Johann at full speed, lightning following his every move, but Johann is able to follow the blows, as if reading them, and blocks them with ease, always concentrating on Yan Min's face.

Beginning to get on her nerves, she jumped up and attempted a violent vertical blow with the back of her foot. He blocks it with both arms, cracking the ground at his feet. Yan Min can see the pain on his face, but she barely has time to react as he grabs her leg and crushes it to the ground, then stretches out his arm and pulls out a cannon.

"What the?!" Yan Min wonders.

"I've got more than one trick up my sleeve, kid!"

Just as he was about to fire, Yan Min hit his arm and fired into a container. Then with her arms she propels herself into the air and using her suppleness, aims for the head with her free foot, but he protects himself, putting his forearm out to stop the attack. She pretended to drop her upper body before striking his belly with the palm of her hand. This surprises him and he drops her, holding his body in pain. Landing in a crouch, she pivots to trip him. He falls, but at the same time, a blade springs from his arm, heading straight for Yan Min, who avoids it by doing a back flip.

"How many do you have like that?" She asks.

"I warned you." Johann stood up and charged toward her.

He attempts a diagonal strike, which she dodges, then surprises her by drawing a blade from his other arm and launching a diagonal attack from bottom to top. Yan Min dodges by twisting her body, then delivers a back kick straight into her torso, sending her into a low wall, sliding all the way. He grabs the top of the low wall, and breaks it, taking a piece and throwing it towards Yan Min. She runs towards him and wraps her arm around the electric element, shattering the concrete. Seeing her coming, Johann throws himself to the side to dodge the blow, destroying the low wall. She turns towards him and stands upright, inviting him to attack with her hand.
Johann clenched his fists at the sight of her, then charged towards her, blade forward. She stops him using her fingers, surprised, he attacks with the other blade, which she stops with the tip of her heel.

"What the?!" He noticed that the element of electricity coursed through her entire body.

"It's up to me to raise the difficulty." She said, pushing him away.

She attacks with a combo of punches, which he parries with his blades, each touch sending sparks and lightning flying in all directions. When he has an opening, he tries to slice her in half, but she dodges gracefully, kicking him in the ribs and sending him tumbling further away.

She moves forward to see if he's out of harm's way, but she hears a shot, much too close for it to be farther away, barely sees the bullet as she intercepts it with both hands, recoiling with sheer inertia.

"You coward, are you taking advantage of the dust?!" Yan Min snarls.

"That's what it was made for!"

Hearing the voice approaching, she prepares herself and, just as she sees his shadow in the storm, she uses the cannonball as a weapon and breaks the blade coming for her throat. Then she grabs the base of the blade and rips it from his arm. Reacting too late, Johann pushes her away, looking at the state of his left arm.

"That's a pretty big deal for a kid..." He said with a grin.

"Huh, please don't compare me to the rest of the Kuoh school members, apart from a few exceptions." She scoffs as she approaches her opponent.
