Chapter 5
It screeches, it's voice now filled with immense power. Appearing more fearsome than before.
" Ahh!!! so loud." She yells while covering her ears rightly.
It reveals a set of menacing looking razersharp teeths. As it dashes towards her wildly swinging it's claws it's eye dyed red with bloodlust. She gently dodges but gets shaved she uses her blades as a shield, guarding her side as she gets catapulted backwards.
She twists her body midair her hair flaying erratically in the wind and lands on the ground her feet dragging on the grass leaving a sandy trail locking her knees to reduce impact. She quickly holds both blades in a backward grip and rushes foward leaving after images as she weaves through the monsters frenzied attacks instantly appearing underneath it.
She quickly switches the blade on her right hand into a foward grip and slashes it. The blade bounces cause of the recoil, producing large spark like a blacksmith hammering a molten piece of metal on his anvil.
" So hard." She comments smiling a bit.
It leaps backwards then lands by the side of a mountain that was close , it points it's trunk at her and starts squirting her web as a white gooey blobs. mizuki tactifully dodges them but mistakenly lands on one, she tries to pull her leg out of it but it only stretches and refuses to let go.
It quickly jumps up, it's throat swelling up as it's start spitting green blobs of acid that melts anything it comes in contact with. She imbues her blade with ki and cuts off the web, swiftly summersaulting backward as the acid bombards were she was, she starts dodging it's the rain of acid peddling backward increasing the gap between them.
" This is pretty much a stalemate." The ponytail guy says.
" Don't count your chickens before they hatch." Hina cuts him off smiling while swinging her legs.
It lands on the ground. It's throat swelling up getting bigger and bigger for every minute that passes.
" It looks like you're finally using your last trump card, i guess i should meet you halfway." She comments smiling even more.
Switching her left blade into a foward grip then crossing her left arm across her neck, she switched the right blade into a backward grip. Then takes a stance, standing on only one leg the other suspended beside it her aura completely changing.
" What's this??." The pony tail guy says evidently suprised.
" The air around her has changed." The muscular guy comments also evidently shocked.
" No her whole aura has changed." The other woman says also a bit shocked.
" Cut it down mizuki." Hina yells obviously delighted by their suprised faces.
The monster panic fear creaping within it's heart as her whole being changes before it's eyes, all it's senses screaming in fear. It quickly unleashes the acid it's been gathering, it flies towards her in the form of tiny rain sized droplets.
Everything turns black and white as she immediately dashes foward her feet causing a sonic boom as she instantly appears beneath the monster. It panics and swings is pincer but she appears above. Time seems to slow to a crawl virtually pausing as it slowly raises it's head it's fearsome like now replaced with true fear of it's own, suprise written in everyone's face at the change of events.
Her body lines up perfectly with the moon as it illuminates her entire figure, making her look like the moon goddess.
" Ferry steps." she softly says, as she softly steps on the wind.
Her eyes suddenly releases a brilliant purple hue as she kicks off crashing down cleanly slicing right through the monster cutting it from the centre of it's forehead down to the junk into two huge clean halves as they fall opposite one another.
" I apologize for this, but i seriously need the flower you were guarding." She says as her blade vanishes into her storage ring.
" Yoohoo!!! way to go sis mizuki." Hina quickly reaches her and hugs her tightly.
The others also appear all still visibly suprised. Hina quickly let's go of her and faces the guy with the ponytail.
" Pay up big brother kanaye." she shamelessly declares almost teasingly, arms outstretched and her palm wide open.
This little trouble maker knew she was holding back no wonder she recklessly bet something so precious, she even called me brother to make things more difficult, he thinks to himself while scratching his head with a single finger before awkwardly rubbing his chin.
" It's my loss, let me see what i have that might be of equal value." He says.
Mizuki immediately walks away from them ignoring their exchange.
A little cave entrance is located a few feet from were the creatures carcasses now lays. She makes her way in, It is pitch black. Her eyes starts glowing purple once again giving her night vision. Going deeper she finds several dry empty cocoons made of webs.
A little flower it has little blue glowing petals illuminated by a little moonlight coming from a small opening on the caves walls, it sits ideally on a pile rocks. She picks it up and places it in a crystal bottle.
Before casually walking back the way she came from, she meets them before raising the bottle to the moon and it starts glowing once again. Hina now wearing a red ring, she obviously just attained.
" What's that it looks so onimous." Hina asks whilst pointing at the bottle.
" It's called moonlight iris." She replies.
" It only grows under special conditions moonlight being a major factor, it releases a scent that's attractive to most magical beast. The arachnid we fought earlier was a trap master type, it used the scent the flower gives off to hunt unsuspecting prays." She explains whilst pocketing the bottle in her coats pocket.
" To bad it met an even bigger predator instead of a prey, this time around." The woman with the ponytail comments.
" That's why you wanted to come to this horrid place a place were night time is always constant." The muscular guy comments.
" what is the flower meant for anyways?." Hina asks enthusiastically.
