Their ambush had several layers of strategy to prevent it from failing, they set up magic traps in the air waiting for us to pass this route, and they used poison they must have spread around the surroundings a long time ago, plus this poison is strong enough to kill someone of the Grade SSS, also used 10 powerful people as bait to draw our attention in a direction as if to start a head-to-head battle, but that was a distraction to open up an opportunity to attack from behind with those dozen fire ray spells.
I don’t even do anything, I had already noticed these spells being activated by someone else in the back, so I stayed a little further back.
When the fire ray spells hit me it didn’t do anything to me, these spells have a power to kill someone of Grade SSS, maybe even hurt someone of Lower Catastrophe Grade.
But to the misfortune of these people, I have resistance against fire element and resistance to magic, I am also in Lower Catastrophe Grade, these spells had no chance to harm me.
But I avoided a direct blow so as not to tear or soil my clothes, I stretched out a hand where I use one of my fingers to injure my palm, so my blood comes out becoming a shield that defends all attacks perfectly without suffering anything.
“They are stronger than anticipated, attack together, we are outnumbered!”
Soon 20 more people appeared, in addition to the 10 in front of us who appeared first to get our attention, there were 10 more on our left, 5 more on the right and there were also 5 more behind where the fire beams’ the previous attack came from.
“Want me to finish them off?” (Ragnar)
“No, let Ibuki and the others deal with them, it will be good for her to learn to fight while she’s in the air.” (I)
“Want to try it too, Hinata?” (I)
“Yea.” (Hinata)
I just watch as Ibuki goes to face the front ten, to my surprise she looks a little at her wings and then at her opponents, she keeps repeating this a few more times until a smile forms in her eyes, then she closes her wings and disappears.
The next thing that happens is 4 headless bodies lying on the ground, Ibuki used his wings as if he were a shadow to use his shadowwalk ability, this ability allows someone to move from one shadow to another that is in his line of sight.
After that a shower of sharp scales falls on three of the enemies, tearing them to pieces, the other 3 in front were not killed, they were unconscious after being hit by Byakko’s lightning.
The 10 on our left had time to launch their attacks, they all turned into creatures twice their size as their clothes tore, instead of people they looked more like monsters, one of them had tentacles on his back, and the other had four front claws on his body, the other had a second head and the only female among them had her arms torn to shreds when new exoskeleton-like arms with scythes for hands appeared.
I noticed that everyone had twice as strong Auras after this transformation, but I could hear their cry of pain as they transformed.
I noticed something strange but would leave it to confirm after the battle, who attacked those 10 was Kira she had Spirit Runes glowing on the back of each hand as she fell from the sky, she had jumped from Byakko’s back as he attacked with lightning to help Ibuki ahead.
The enemies weren’t idiots who would let Kira get to the ground safely, they launched several attacks at her, the woman who had insect arms with scythes was very fast, and she quickly got to Kira trying to cut her with her insect scythes.
But to their surprise, the attacks did nothing against Kira, she moved in the air dodging several attacks, the ones that hit did no damage other than tearing her clothes a little, the insect woman had her scythes stopped on the skin without being able to cut beyond Kira’s skin.
For those who take a closer look will notice a slight silver tinge to Kira’s normally gray skin, it looks like she used a Metal Element Spirit Rune to strengthen her own defense.
At that moment small electrical discharges were coming out of Kira’s arms as she attacked at great speed, her arms must have looked blurry due to her extreme speed towards enemies.
Soon the insect woman had her entire body being torn to pieces, her body was cut at the joints and her pieces fell to the ground as Kira landed unharmed.
Kira appears to be hit by something invisible in her view was one of the enemies who had several scales growing out of her body and stood behind one of her larger companions while her body appeared to become transparent.
He moved faster than the others passing them and reached where Kira had just landed trying to slash her with a short sword, he thought he did when his blade pierced his body, but unfortunately for him, it was a trap.
That was an illusion created with electricity, the moment it was cut there was an explosion of lightning that killed the invisible man.
Meanwhile, a quick Kira was in the opposite direction from where the enemies were running, her body was no longer covered in a silvery hue, it was now covered in Electric Beams, she ran up to the enemies’ backs and drew a large Spirit Rune without being noticed.
When she activated the Rune dozens of streams of lightning came out of the Rune and trapped the screaming enemies as they were electrocuted and restrained by those streams.
The 5 enemies on the left were screaming in terror as tentacles filled with hundreds of mouths wrapped around their bodies devouring them, moreover, they were submerged in an Aura filled with death, their cruel enemy was just a small girl with a finger pointed at them and expressionless. .
“(I know her intention is not to scare, but I think with those powers and appearance anyone will feel terror…)” (I)
The 5 in the back were about to attack, but one of them stopped the others when noticing my calm, that one was smart, he looked at me and then around noticing his men being defeated easily, but I noticed in his eyes a madness that intrigued me.
“(What are you planning to do?)” (I)
I smile and look at him hoping to see what he’s going to do, of course, I never let my guard down.
