Playing With Other Supernaturals

Chapter 1272 'Children'

'Yoruichi' turned towards Kisuke and was able to determine that the person standing far from him and just burned the bugs with her lightning was not the Yoruichi he knew.

Aside from the glowing red veins running through her entire body and darker skin than normal, there are no thoughts behind her eyes. The stranger thing, however, is the violent will that flows off of her that makes Kisuke think that she only exists to destroy.

'That is... Uncanny.' Kisuke thought to himself.

At that moment, the bugs started changing. Instead of rushing towards Kisuke, they momentarily retreated back.

'Yoruichi' tried going after them, but Kisuke gave her a command to stop, 'Thank goodness she listened. Or else I'd have to take her back for having that much firepower but no control.'

Kisuke wanted to see what Ichibei was trying to do since he doubted that he'd actually retreat.

And upon further watching, he almost regretted having Tiamat's expanded and much more accurate senses, especially to those that possesses life.

The flies, which were at least 30 feet long each, went forward and the maggots around them started gathering and squeezing themselves into it. So much so that the maggots are being mangled in the process. While they were disgustingly exchanging flesh and fluids, they also slowly formed a humanoid silhouette with the head of a fly, acting as the head of the form.

Kisuke doesn't exactly know how many bugs he's facing right now but there are at least hundreds of thousands that are becoming walking 100-feet tall giants right now, 'That looks disgusting... But why only with that amount?'

Although there's a large amount of these humanoid giants, the very vast majority of the bugs kept retreating towards Ichibei's position, 'It can't be... right?'

[You're allowed to transform, so what's stopping him?] Benihime commented with a small chuckle.

Kisuke sent a signal to 'Yoruichi' to resume her assault and she immediately moved by projecting tens of Magic Circles around her before each one of them sent pillars of lightning towards the giants. Each of the pillars easily pierced and charred one or two giants, killing them for good, however, the moment it reached a third one, it lost enough power that the giants just opened a maw on their stomachs to eat the lightning.

Those who ate 'Yoruichi's' Magic immediately started emitting electricity themselves and sent the Magic back to 'Yoruichi'.

'Yoruichi' showed a surprised expression, but she was able to dodge using Shunko.

But on the very next moment, it was Kisuke's turn to be surprised as the other giants, who didn't even come close to Yoruichi's Magic, started generating their own electricity around their bodies and started shooting out Lightning Magic Towards 'Yoruichi' and him.

While Kisuke was fine since even if they hit him directly it did nothing to him, that's not the same for 'Yoruichi'. 'Yoruichi' was very fast with her Shunko, but she was already forced to use barriers to block the attacks due to them coming from all directions from hundreds of sources at a time.

'This is bad... Looks like their connection wasn't just for simple communications.' Kisuke thought while watching a portion of giants endlessly pour Lightning Magic on 'Yoruichi'.

Kisuke raised his right arm and pointed it at the cluster of giant amalgamations while ignoring all the Magic attacks that were hitting him. This time, he didn't want to use Tiamat's ability, but his own to test if there's nothing wrong with it.

A second later, a dark green ball formed on his right hand before it instantly ballooned into a 10 10-foot wide ball of destruction, "Cero." Kisuke muttered.

The ball widened to 15 feet before it turned into a beam of light that directly targeted Ichibei's last known position.

The giants momentarily ceased their assault and stacked up to block Kisuke's Cero but to no avail.

Kisuke's dark green Cero went through all the blocking giants and instantly vaporized them. However, this didn't go on forever as the Cero soon lost its power, not just because it trudged through literal flesh and blood but also because those in the vicinity of the Cero took a bite from it.

Kisuke's brows furrowed and as he expected, the giants started shooting out Ceros too and more of them started forming to replace the dead ones. And it doesn't just end there as more and more maggots and flies are coming out of the Dimensional Gap to replenish their numbers, 'Did he call everything to his side? Looks like I won't have to be worried that they'll be behind schedule.'

Although Kisuke wanted to finish things here up cleanly, he also didn't want any delay to his return, not after what Gabriel insinuated, 'And here I was hoping that I could kick back and return to being a small candy shop owner for a bit.'

Kisuke's Cero didn't give them the advantage he was expecting, instead, 'Yoruichi' started to become overwhelmed. He intended to assist her until he felt something shooting out of his Sea of Life. The next thing he knew, two flashes of light went through the giants and they were cut into pieces before turning into ashes.

[Seriously?] Benihime exclaimed, [They can utilize Holy Power?]

The two lights stopped and floated beside 'Yoruichi'. Kisuke already knew their identities the moment they released Holy Power, and by extension, the criteria for the 'children'.

'Akeno' with her Fallen Angel and Devil Wings, and 'Irina' with her Angel Wings radiated Holy Power that's a bit darker than normal, however, they still have the same lethal effect against the insects and there doesn't seem to be any indication of them 'eating' the Holy Power and copying it. And the same as 'Yoruichi', they had dark skin and their eyes had a thousand-yard stare that didn't contain any consciousness.

The insects' attention was solely on 'Yoruichi' before, but after the Holy Power's assault, they seemingly forgot her existence and went after 'Akeno' and 'Irina' in an even greater frenzy.

Too bad for them, the Sea of Life ejected another individual and this time, she slowly floated with her long purple hair rustling through the wind and gem-like purple eyes that attracted the enemies' attention.

The rushing insects stopped moving and while their momentum brought them forward, they soon began dropping into the Sea of Life below, never to be seen again. Only the amalgamations of insects were able to move again and take flight but their movements were obviously slowed down compared to before.

These insects had multiple eyes and that gave them the advantage of more information gathered, but that only backfired when they faced 'Medusa's' mystical eyes.
