PHASE 44 - A SWORD THAT IS MEANT TO PROTECT

PHASE 44 - A SWORD THAT IS MEANT TO PROTECT

“Rikkun!” My reflexes sparked in, charging my attack! “<Fafnir Smash>!!!”

Upon impact with Helena’s activated shield, my dark-flamed fist made a strong shockwave! But the power of Vishnu’s <Perfect Protection> on Helena is impenetrable, so my punch won’t go through! Helena is completely invincible!

As Helena withdrew her hand from Rikkun’s chest, she was already holding a golden ball of light made of condensed prana. It is the God Core of Freyr, which she immediately absorbed by her heart.

She made a huge jump backward, gaining distance.

“Rikkun!” I immediately caught my lover’s body before he fell to the ground. He started to cough weakly, and blood spurted out from his mouth.

“<God Core: Freyr Ascension>!!!”

A golden pillar of light ate Helena whole, and the next time we know it, her robotic armor is now surging with golden circuits. Yellowish air surrounded her fist as she clenches it and savors the ultimate power of her sixth God Core.

“Bwahahahahaha!!! So this is the power of the Norse God of Kings. I can’t believe you own such a tremendous force inside you!” Helena laughed like a madwoman.

“...Tia...ra…” Rikkun said as he made a weak grip on my left shoulder. His cross sigil on his emerald eyes is about to lose its glow.

“R-Rikkun…” I cried. My toes are shaking, and my brain failed to issue a command. I’m so scared…

“Stop that drama.” Helena immediately dashed with Mercury’s full speed and kicked Rikkun out of my grasps, making him fall and roll on the slope. I tried to reach out my hand, but Helena immediately caught my neck with her cyber arm!

“Ack!” I tried to beg for oxygen as her hand squeezed my windpipes.

I have to get away from her!

“<Fafnir Smash>!!!, <Shenlong Drive>!!! , <Ananta-Shesha Fury>!!!”

I used all offensive spells I know, but the attack would be dispelled by the <Perfect Protection> on Helena before my fists and spells could reach her face!

“...Uuuurk!!!” I’m already out of the air.

“That <Heart of Light> of yours is quite troublesome. But now that your Rikkun is gone, I have all the time in the world to kill you. But… I’ll have to play with you for a while.”

Helena’s menacing glare at me made me lose strength. The power of the six gods in one person made me tremble in fear. I couldn’t even suppress my gallbladder, which resulted in me peeing myself.

“Ohoho~” Helena smirked. “Aren’t you a little wet?”

Helena’s fingers started to crawl on my thigh. It left me a ticklish sensation as she is about to tuck her hand underneath my skirt.

No…

No…

Noooo!!!

“<Moonlight Slash>!!!”

Just before the unimaginable was about to happen to me, there were darkness and a silver streak! When it all faded away, Helena’s cyber arm was destroyed into pieces, and I finally found myself in the arms of my prince charming!

“R-Rikkun…”

Rikkun’s heavy breathing made it clear that he’s no longer in fighting condition. His prana circuits have been fried, and his energy is almost depleted. He only has his own adrenaline as his power source.
