Chapter 26 - Roping Psykos

--| Deeper Underground |--

"Why the fuck is he here? Did he have some grudge with me?" The wavy blue-haired woman shouted in frustration as she used her Psychokinesis to watch the fight between Orochi and Kenjiki.

It was the same woman that had fled from the cult Kenjiki and the gang destroyed. Psykos had been fleeing from Shigaraki after the cult was destroyed.

But, at the end of the rope of her life. This new continent where they stepped their feet right now, appeared, giving her a chance to flee here and be safe because Shigaraki didn't have any eyes planted here yet.

"But how did he know?" Psykos was racking her brain trying to find the reason as to why he would come here. "And, who is she?"

Kenjiki's appearance had made her life go awry with how much he destroyed her experiment.

Now that Orochi was fighting him, she didn't have any other choice but to support Orochi in the hope of killing Kenjiki.

Psykos then spread her ability and connected herself with a blob of mass that was sleeping in a glass tube. She controlled the body to approach the fight.

"Orochi! I'll be supporting you from the back!" Psykos shouted, alerting everyone in the room.

"Did you finally wake up?" Orochi glanced toward the voice source. "But did you think I would lose against him?"

"Then, are you winning?" Psykos retorted and used her psychic ability to boost Orochi's body while also halting Kenjiki's movement.

Orochi snorted after hearing her, but he knew that her words were true. The whole time they were fighting, they were in a stalemate.

"2 against 1?" Kenjiki snorted when he saw the blob of mass entering their fight.

Although Kenjiki could overwhelm Orochi and gain the upper hand, he decided to not do so just because he wanted to experience a fight against someone who was 'stronger' than him.

But it's looking impossible to continue the fight with the addition of player 3.

"Cyrene, blast her somewhere. I'm going to finish the fight now." Kenjiki dispersed the blood spears and poured every bit of his mana into his katana.

The sheer amount of mana within the katana caused a strange phenomenon. Mana which was usually invisible became visible to everyone there, all it was due to the sheer amount of mana cluttered into one object.

At the same time, Cyrene had disappeared long ago and now was standing before Psykos real body with a wide grin plastered on her face.

"How unlucky of you to meet him twice." Cyrene chuckled as she observed the nervous woman who was warily looking at her. "How about this, I won't kill you. Kenjiki sure would be more than happy to play with you."

"What?! You want me to be his plaything?" Psykos' expression became more nervous than ever because she knew that she couldn't win against her.

Considering that Cyrene could get into her room in less than a second. That's even without causing her psychic radar to be alert, which meant she either didn't use psychic power or she had different powers altogether.

"Yes. You're his type." Cyrene smiled, looking at the fancy-looking bottle Psykos trying to take. "That elixir of yours won't help you much."

Psykos instantly gulped the so-called elixir and felt her psychic power increase exponentially, causing her to think that she could win against Cyrene.

She blasted her psychic power and clenched her arms to focus all of her psychic power on Cyrene's body in the hope of twisting her body.

"As I said, It's useless." Cyrene chuckled and walked forward with ease. "If you don't want to be his plaything for free. Then, how about I strengthen your psychic power in return? You want to change the future don't you?"

Psykos panicked when she realized that her psychic power missed the target and flew past Cyrene's body as if she didn't even exist.

At first, she thought that Cyrene was bluffing, but when she mentioned changing the future. Psykos realized that the woman in front of her was beyond her.

"How can I trust you?" Psykos asked warily, as she was tempted by the offer even though the price was her own body.

"Here." Cyrene threw a weird-looking Lifeblood toward Psykos. "It's called Artificial Lifeblood, and it would strengthen your psychic power once consumed."

Psykos looked at the white cocoon with caution, as she couldn't completely trust the other party. But given no choice, she put the Lifeblood into her body.

For the first few seconds, she didn't feel anything changing in her body, not even her psychic power. But the pain hit so suddenly, that her whole body went sore and unmovable.

"Survive the pain."

Meanwhile, Kenjiki had finished pouring all of his mana causing his body to feel a bit weak. But thanks to the pure physical power that he absorbed from the last monster, he didn't have any problem moving.

Orochi and every other monster that hadn't fled from this place felt dread when they looked at the katana that seemed to be moving to the blue energy rhythm.

"Tsk. DIE YOU ANT!!" Orochi shouted as his already huge body enlarged and stopped looking humanoid. Then, he combined all of his horns into one and slammed the horn down with all the strength he had.

On the other side, Kenjiki looked at the incoming horn and swung the katana vertically.

With a simple swing, all of the mana contained inside the katana flowed out of the katana and formed a crescent moon bigger than Orochi's body.

The horn tried to block the crescent moon but was easily sliced. The attack continued to slice everything it passed by, before exploding once it collided with Orochi's body.
