" you must be Hive mother . " said Masako looking at the part human part insects yet voluptuous creature. The havoring Hive mother, flew down and landed in front of Masako and Hito " yes your highness this lowly one is called Hive Mother. I see you brought snacks for me" said Hive mother with a repulsive smile eyeing Leon, Trisha, Mira and the rest and continued " after seeing so many of my babies slaughtered by your Highness I am feeling a little hungry. "
The Hive Mother was more hideous from up close, Mira almost vomited seeing Hive mothers profane smile. looking at the repulsive vulgar body of the Hive mother Masako said " you hideous creature you will pay with your life for sullying this princesses eyes"s " and attacked her aggressively without giving a second thought.
Hito also double teamed with Masako to solve Hive mother faster and put an end to the Insect tide. As soon as Hive Mother, Masako and Hito went far enough, Mira said " I can"t hold it in anymore" and started to vomit "uuyaa!".
"aren"t you overreacting a bit, I think she looked ok ! " said Luca, everyone turned and looked at him with disgust and distanced themselves from him. Justin who wa.s.s the closest to Luca shaking his head said " comrade you have heavy taste". Just when Luca started to feel like the outcast of the group, Trisha came up to him and said " I also thought they are overreacting, I have seen many insects and believe me Hive mother is no way near to Hideous. "
" don"t you think it is rude to sneak attack your highness " said Hive mother, looking at Hito she added " two people against this weak slave you flatter me your highness. " that she flew into the air trying to evade the pursuit of the duo.
" Kaze no sanpo (Wind Walk) " shouted Masako and Hito as they step on the wind pursuing hive mother. Leon, Justin, Luka looked at Masako and Hito run on air with amazment and admiration as shouted " awesome! ". back on earth using powers and techniques in the city is resistricted no matter the saocial rank and strength. so, they have mostly seen people flying in the air in videos this was their first time seeing people walk on the air for the first time.
Trisha who was next to them said " whats the big deal, I can fly. ", " yeah, whats the big deal. I fly all the time." Mira also chimed in rubbing salt on their wounds. Leon, Luca and Justins looked at the two with envy and resentment but one could see their desire to fly musked by indignation.
James also noticed Hive Mother as soon as she appeared in the dome, it was hard not to notice since Hive Mother"s killing Intention had locked on to him and Janet from the movement she appeared inside the dome making it harder for them to breath, but they did not choose to engage her with machine cannons cause they knew that Machine Cannon would barely scratch the surface of Hive mothers exoskeleton, nither did they stop attacking the Insect tide cause they knew for sure that Hive mother will not act on her killing Intention with Masako and Hito constantly monitering her movements.
On the side of Sukehime, She was still standing in stance with her hands joined to seal the Flame Fiend. from the looks of it she would soon seal the Flame fiend.
The Tornado which was 450 meter tall In the beginning, has now shrunk to 1 meter long and turned in to spherical shape enclosing the flame fiend with in it. the Flame Fiend has long given up on resistance as the sharp blades of the wind with in the spherical tornado were constantly disintergating its bone, its self healing could no longer keep up with the damage dealt by the wind blade and since its bone frame is shattered it no longer could mentain its skeletal shape, it flame had also dimed alot.
Since Hito and Masako could no longer guard Sukehime was left totally defenseless, so Trisha, Ava and the rest took it up on them selves to guard Sukehime. truth be told they were not seriously guarding Sukehime if situation allowed they would like to be far away from Sukehime but before leaving to pursue Hive Mother, Masako respectfully asked them to guard her grandma, " time for you guys to put yourselves to use, guard my grandma I don"t how you do it, use your body as shield for all I care. if any thing happens to her under your watch I will kill you all. " Masako"s Exact words.
[ guys, what do we do... ] asked Justin.
[ I say we let the old hag die, otherwise the scenario will take a huge turn from orignal plotline. I do not think she will seriously slaughter bunch of week bystanders] said Mira.
[ thats our only option we are not strong enough to defend against someone who is able to kill the Nation Hero. ] said Luca
[ okay then lets Just stick to the original plan, for now lets just pretent to guard Sukehime. ] replied Leon, and the rest nod in agreement.
Hive Mother who was constantly evading Hito and Masako"s attacks was covered in many cuts and bruises, but none deep enough to be considered deadly. Thanks to her second pair of compoud eyes she had a 360 degree view making it very easy for her to defend against two opponents.
Hito and Masako knew that she was upto something but they were not sure what was it. they felt as if Hive mother was deliberately trying to get them far away from Sukehime but they could do nothing about it as whenever one of them tried to return to Sukehime"s Defense she would engage them aggressively as if her life depended on it. it was becoming more and more obious that some thing was up.
" Masako I feel something is wrong, I will hold her back you go back to guard Sukehime " said Hito looking at completely defenseless Sukehime guared by a bunch of weak westerners.
After giving it a thought MAsako nodded and said " okay I will leave this vile creature to you. "
seeing Masako retreat so she can return to Sukehime"s side, Hive mother shouted " ho! no you don"t " as she whiped her 2 pair of hands forming 4 energy blade"s 2 aimed at Hito and 2 aimed at Masako, while she followed up to masako for a sneak attack but to her surprise suddenly a huge wind wall blocked her enery blades and her advance, Hito looked at surprised Hive mother and said " I am done playing, time to put an end to your scheme"s. "
Seeing that Masako had already retreated, Hive Mother sighed and " it seems I underestimated you guys, she was right I could not block both of you, anyway I tried. " than she looked at the insect tide and truned to Hito as she said "do you like fire works "
Hito was confused and asked " what? "
BooOOM!...
...
Sky Burial is a Secret Art of Eternal Sealing but many consider it as a ancient Secret Art of Sacrifice to please the sky G.o.d , to be accurated its none of the two. Only SukeHime who has achived perfection in this knows that it is a more advanced form of Wind Arts.
What actually happens is when the tornado is compressed to certain point the wind blades in side the tornado becomes so sharp that they tear the s.p.a.ce opening a void of nothingness, so what ever is in the eye of the ctornado is swallowed by the void to be forever lost in nothingness. which people mistakenly dudded as Eternal sealing art which contradicts itself.
Because if a seal is considered as a lock than we all know that every lock has a key, so there is no such thing as Eternal sealing arts as there is always a way to unseal a seal.
The spherical tornado had shrunk to 3 inches, flame fiend could no longer be seen in the eye of the tornado, the sealing art had reached it final and very important part the wind blades should be able to tear the s.p.a.ce any movement now. this stage was very critical the wind blades have gaind huge momentum and force so much that all of Sukehime"s mental strength is requred to control them leaving her completely defenseless, no matter how dire the situation Sukehime cannot loose her concentration from the small tornado because if it is not monitered properly it will detonate killing every one within 5 miles radius. the wind blades right now have enough force to tear the s.p.a.ce so one can only imagine the amount destruction that comes if the wind blades go berserk.
But then suddendly huge explosions took place one after another, it seems the Insect tide started to explode one after the other causing mayhem. the whole s.p.a.ce inside the dome was in utter chaos. Leon, Ava, Justin and rest were still better off since they were already prepared for the the insects to explode thanks to their preknowledge of original works.
Even under such mayhem Sukehime manage to control the Sky Burial arts which has rreached the final step, as the void was already opened inside the spherical tornado and Flame Fiend was thrown inside the void. one last thing that remaind was to let the void swallow the spherical tornado before it was heal by the world. since Crying Heavens is a stable world all the cracks and tears within worlds s.p.a.ces are automatically healed by world.
But then suddenly Sukehime flet a death threat on the back of her head it made all the hair on body stand, but she could not move until the spherical tornado is swallowed by the void. Sukehime finally decided to not move untill the vid swallows the spherical tornado.
There were two reasons why Sukehime choose to do nothing, firstly she was confident in her defense and knew that even if her defense is broken it will only leave shallow wounds. lastly, if she choose to act and leaves the Spherical tornado unattended then it would detonate killing the everyone one within 5 miles especially her who right next to it.
Not choosing to act obivously was the right choice, but some thing unexpected happened which nor Sukehime or the sniper had antic.i.p.ated.
........
Fact, in a research it was found that a Southern California mite far outpaces the cheetah, the current record-holder for running speed as measured in body lengths per second. By this measure, the mite runs 20 times faster than a cheetah and the equivalent of a person running 1300 miles per hour which is nearly as fast as a speeding bullet.
A research found that the some species of beetles have hard exoskeletal able to withstand pressure up to 1,141 times its own body weight, in humand standards it is equivalent of a 150-pound (70 kilogram) person lifting six full double-decker buses.
Just when the sniper thought his attack was successful, a blurry shadow appeared between him and the target. the sniper had gone through great lengths to get every thing right, thinking 12 steps ahead of Sukehime but he did one arrogant mistake of considering the 9 westerners as negligible variables in his calculation.
Trisha was having a hard time thinking that she would let someone who was protecting her die, she could not stomach it. ever since she entered the Terror World she felt weak, powerless and helpless from the very beginning. she did not like the feeling of her fate being in others hand. Even though she hated this feeling all this she could except as she was weak, but what she could not expect was sacrificing someone that protected her with some lame excuse that she was weak or they are just NPC"s of scenario. finally unable to take the weakness, powerlessness and helplessness she decide to take control of her own fate as she activated her ability and rushed to use her body as shield to protect Sukehime.
