Aias: from a world of kaijus to a world of fantasy and magic

Chapter 71

What is this sensation I'm feeling? What exactly is it? Why am I sensing it now?

Many questions filled my mind, but I threw them away for another time because right now, it wasn't the time to think about it.

As the feeling of something massing, like invisible mist, was coming from the two people running to me, starting to reach what seemed like a critical point, I had my guard up to the max because I had an uneasy feeling that something big was coming.

I was proven right because the feeling of something massing with the two of them began to form into a shape.

I saw one of them had tendrils made up of water coming out of his back while the other stopped running and placed their hands on the ground.

Realizing they're mages, I sense something moving through the rooftop, coming toward me from the mage who placed his hands on the rooftop we were standing on. My instinct was telling me to trust the thing I was sensing because something was going to attack me where I stood, and I needed to get out of the way.

So, with that in mind, I jumped back, and as I did that, spikes made out of the rooftop tiles shot up to where I was standing.

However, as I jumped back, I was taken by surprise by the other person, who had water tendrils, starting to shoot out needle-like projectiles made out of water at me.

Twisting my body mid-air as time was moving slowly, I tried moving out of the attack, but I wasn't able to fully do that because my right leg got hit by the needle-like projectiles.

Hitting the ground after moving out of the way of most of the needle-like projectiles, I got up as fast as I could, with much difficulty, because my left leg was heavily injured and was beginning to bleed profusely.

I was only hit with around 5 needles, but to think they would do this much damage.

Ignoring the sharp, intense pain with each step I took, I dashed to the mage who used earth magic because he seemed to be the easier of the two to take down.

Getting right in front of him, I try to aim at his kneecaps, aiming to cut them apart to immobilize him. However, sensing something moving on the rooftop between us, a long spike suddenly shot up.

I tilted my head out of the way, managing to not get hit at the very last second, which nearly took off my head; however, he took out two pairs of daggers to begin attacking me.

I block and parry each of his swings, something I was finally able to do with Sarah's support.

Each of his swings and thrusts was slightly better than most of my family's black knights I've fought against. I am more than enough if this were a normal fight, but magic was the problem because, like seeing how Athrun fought back in the dungeon, he was fighting with his magic.

But different from how Athrun fought, it was more towards people than monsters.

I had to be wary of not only the mage that was using his water magic but also each step he took, because there would be a chance he would shoot out large spikes from the roof tiles.

The only thing that saved me from losing this fight was my strange, newly awakened 6th sense, which I was starting to get used to, like an extension of my own body.

After a couple of exchanges, I had an opening where he overextended his arm in a thrust, which I then brought down with the sword Athrun lent me and severed his right arm.

I was sure that would give me some breathing room to knock him out because any person would have been too stunned or lost focus for the slightest of moments, but why isn't he bleeding?
