Fierce Battle 2

Since Susanoo's Yasakani no Magatama was damaged, his speed hadn't changed significantly.

It didn't happen that Lilith's vision blurred and Susanoo appeared before her.

However, Susanoo's current speed was sufficient. He raised his right hand, then clenched it and swung downwards.

A light sword appeared in Susanoo's hand and slashed towards Lilith as he moved.

Lilith didn't test the attack's power firsthand. She leaped to the side, dodging the attack.

But before she could regain her footing, another laser beam sniped from afar.

The laser, capable of piercing a human body, sliced off the cloak Lilith wore on her back.

The red cloak fluttered in the wind and fell into the distance.

"A snipe? Did Big Wolf run into trouble?"

It wasn't that Lilith lacked confidence in Big Wolf.

It was just that Big Wolf had only recently evolved, and its strength was only equivalent to a Special Class Dangerous Species. Yet, it was facing two Imperial Arms users.

If she didn't know that her familiars couldn't die, her concern wouldn't be whether something had happened, but whether Big Wolf had been killed.

Lilith connected her left eye's vision to Big Wolf.

Then, her left eye saw Leona, who was fiercely fighting it.

With her beast transformation, Leona's physical strength was not much inferior to Big Wolf's.

At this moment, Leona had several wounds on her body, which should have been inflicted by Big Wolf.

Blood was still slowly but continuously flowing from these wounds.

If this continued, Leona's defeat was only a matter of time.

After all, she wasn't facing a normal Special Class Dangerous Species!

"Huff~ Huff~ Huff~"

Leona panted heavily, feeling increasingly frustrated.

The Dangerous Species before her was too strange. She had clearly struck its head and abdomen several times.

With her fists, even a Special Class Dangerous Species shouldn't have been able to continue jumping around so lively for this long.

As for herself, after being scratched a few times by this Dangerous Species' claws.

Even though she controlled her muscles to compress the wounds, blood continued to flow out.

It couldn't be stopped!

"Leona, are you alright?"

Mine fired Pumpkin towards Big Wolf, who was fighting Leona, forcing it to retreat.

The Big Wolf, now out of combat, circled Leona and Mine, searching for an opening to attack.

"How was it?"

"I found an opportunity and took a shot, but I still missed. Damn it!"

Mine cursed under her breath. In past battles, no matter which one, her presence had played a decisive role, even bringing significant deterrence to the target.

But this time, she felt like she was just there to make up the numbers.

She hadn't accomplished anything.

"Let's not worry about that for now. I feel like your shot just now seemed to have angered this guy."

Even though Big Wolf's wolf-like face showed no change, Leona still felt the surrounding air become heavier.

However, Leona wasn't too worried for the moment, as with Mine's support, they wouldn't be in immediate danger.

But if this continued for too long, she would likely be in trouble.

With the power of Lion King, as long as she didn't end her beast transformation, her condition would remain at its peak. Even when using secret techniques, she could cling to life even in a near-death state and find a chance to survive.

However, she had already lost too much blood. If this continued, she would truly die.

Leona's eyes scanned her surroundings, trying to find her target.

But because of their fight with Big Wolf, all the living creatures around had fled. She needed animals to replenish her blood.

Actually, it wasn't just animals; using human blood to replenish her own blood would be the same.

But beside her, there was only Mine.

With Mine's small frame, she probably didn't have much blood.

Moreover, if Mine lost too much blood, it would also affect her combat effectiveness.

At that point, it wouldn't just be her in a poor state, but two of them.

"Rumble~~"

Big Wolf's low growl reached Leona's ears, making her eyes light up.

Although the idea was bold, with her life in danger now, she couldn't afford to be too picky.

Leona's tightly clenched fists slowly relaxed, and sharp claws extended.

"I have to take a gamble!"

Mine's sniper shot caused Lilith to momentarily lose focus, and Susanoo did not miss the opportunity.

He once again used Ame-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi to attack Lilith.

Lilith was forced to break her line of sight with Big Wolf and turn her attention to the Susanoo before her.

Susanoo's Ame-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi was incredibly powerful, capable of easily splitting mountains and shattering rocks with its swings.

Lilith, relying on her speed, dodged all of Susanoo's attacks.

However, the surrounding terrain suffered greatly.

Each time Susanoo swung Ame-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi, it left deep gouges in the ground.

Although Susanoo had the upper hand against Lilith, Nacita's face showed no signs of happiness.

Even Tatsumi and Akame could tell that while Susanoo's attacks were fierce, he hadn't landed a single hit.

This gave them a faint sense of unease.

"Susanoo-san, you have to win," Tatsumi prayed silently in his heart.

Nacita was even more worried, as the duration of Calamity Soul Manifestation was about to expire.

"If it really comes down to it, I'll have to use Calamity Soul Manifestation twice in a row."

Nacita made up her mind; no matter the cost, she had to kill Lilith!

Otherwise, wouldn't her life force be wasted for nothing?

Even though the duration of Calamity Soul Manifestation was almost over, Susanoo showed no signs of impatience.

The combat programming written into his brain told him that the more critical the moment, the less he should rush.

Furthermore, as a biological Imperial Arms, even if he possessed emotions, he would control them.

And at that very moment, Lilith's body faltered slightly.

Susanoo's eyes lit up; he did not let go of this opening Lilith presented.

Even if this opening might be a trap set by Lilith!

He wasn't afraid of traps; he was afraid of Lilith giving him no opportunities to strike.

But when Susanoo struck Lilith with Ame-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi, he realized it didn't seem to be a trap.

Even though Lilith blocked the water flow in front of her, it seemed she still couldn't block Susanoo's Ame-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi.

Lilith reacted instantly, freezing all the water in front of her, forming extremely solid ice!
