Deku: The Kaleido Hero

Chapter 3: Assassin's Fangs

Hey! I'm back! Sorry for the really late arrival but with the COVID-19 crisis, changing from working on campus to online, and all my finals, I've just been super freaking busy. So sorry. Anyways, I won't keep you waiting so here's the latest chapter:

Izuku stood petrified as the great black beast jumps at him, moving at the speed of a bullet train. The beast's claws and fangs sharper than any blade, and its blood red eyes screamed death and murder. Izuku tried to move, tried to scream, but his body betrayed him, refusing to move.

I-I can't move! Izuku thought in a panic. I'm going to die!!

"IZUKU!"

Emerald gave off a scream before putting up a barrier, just as the beast collided with it. The beast smashed into the A-rank barrier, before jumping to the ground. With one sweep of its claws, it shattered the barrier, the resulting winds created from the strike sending Izuku backwards. He hit the wall with a smash, creating cracks. And yet, despite this, his body refused to move.

"Some sort of mental interference!" Emerald gasped in realization. "Purging!"

Suddenly, Izuku could move again, and he jumped from his position into the air, as the wolf collided into the space Izuku once was. The wolf kicked off from its position, trying to slash of Izuku but he managed to dodge again.

"What is that thing? Is that a Servant? What happened to me?" Izuku asked in rapid succession, as he bobbed and weaved through the enemy's attacks.

"Long story short is that is some sort of Servant and it's howl is capable of mental interference!" Emerald shouted. "This was a bad match up for a beginner. Sorry!"

"I've got it!" Izuku shouted, creating a spherical barrier to help keep the wolf off.

The wolf growled, jumping on the ground and throwing bookshelves and chairs at Izuku, but the barrier held. However, a flurry of pages blocked Izuku's sight.

"Smash!" Izuku shouted, using a powerful blast of prana to blast away. However, the wolf used the destruction as cover, lunging at Izuku again. However....

"Net!" Izuku shouted, creating a net of pure prana, which covered the wolf, who shouted in shock. The wolf fell, unable to contain its ferocity as it tore at the net.

"Link!" Izuku said, waving Emerald, who let out a long beam of prana at the wolf. However, instead of hitting it, the beam wrapped around the wolf. Izuku soon spun, and spun, making use of the lack of friction to throw the wolf around, causing it to hit the walls, bookshelves, statues, and other objects in the library.

"RAAHH!!" Izuku roared, utilizing all his strength to slam the wolf into the ground. It howled, as a dust cloud overtook the area.

Izuku panted, looking down before paling as he heard ominous crackling. With another wave of prana, Izuku once again cleared the dust to find the wolf in the ground near the wall, claws digging into the floor. Crackling is heard from around the room and Izuku could see what the wolf was trying to do.

"T-that's ridiculous!" he screamed, as the Servant ripped most of the floor off to use as a weapon. It slammed it upwards to where Izuku floated. "Physical Protections, Maximum Output!"

SLAM!

Even with multiple barriers, Izuku was still pushed back into the wall, the barriers barely protecting him. Even now, the barriers begun to develop cracks, one shattering as the wolf pushed down.
