Daiyousei dropped me down on a pathway, leading towards the Scarlet Devil Mansion Gate. And, right as we walked over to it, we heard a shout.
"MY NAAAAAAMMEEEEEE IS HONG MEILIIIIING!!!!!"
The gate bursts into pieces, as a red haired girl charged through it, wielding a spear with a large blade instead of the usual pointy one. She then took a stance, by holding the spear on one hand, and the other hand is on her back. She is the sole Gate guard of the Mansion, Hong Meiling.
"AS I BREATHE, YOU WILL NOT PASS THE MANSION GATE!"
Both of us covered our ears out of annoyance. After she finally finished her bantering, I pulled out Roukanken.
"Dai-Chan, leave this baka to me, won't you?"
She nodded, and I walked over to Meiling, as she then took another stance by holding the spear with both hands this time.
"Move in haste, and die, pest!" Meiling taunted.
And if she said that if I hesitated, then what? Oh well. I won't hesitate to use
"Nature Sign - Change element, Hika Cirno!"
Tapping into my light element, I put back Roukanken into it's scabbard, and bent my back forwards.
"A little trick I usually see from Youmu..."
And with a slow pull of the sword from the scabbard, I dashed forwards and made 3 horizontal slashes, staggering Meiling back as she barely tries to parry them.
"And this..."
I held the sword up on top of my head, and stroke it down vertically, in which the force of the attack pushes Meiling back, breaking her guard a little. Afterwards, I jumped over to her back, and plunged the blade into her left shoulder before pulling it back out. A fountain of blood then stained the walls near the destroyed gate.
"You will not take this dragon's head!"
She said, before making her first attack by slowly starting a slash. I readied myself to block, but then it turns out she was charging her strength into her slash, breaking me off guard.
I was pushed back by the massive strength, and even more further as she did those slashes repetitively. And finally she dug her own grave by trying to thrust the spear onto me.
I hopped upwards, and stepped on the spear's large blade making it hit the ground, before I climbed up onto her back once more to plunge Roukanken into her right shoulder.
I got off her back, and readied my spell card.
"Light Sign - Immortality Severance!"
Once Roukanken is imbued with light, I plunged the blade into Meiling's chest, and pushed forward making her fall into her back, pulling the blade back out, and finally finishing her with one last stab to the heart.
