Has the airflow turned into arrows?
No need to test the power of this move. Marika, who almost got hit by an arrow earlier, flashed to Renedia's side, her waterfall-like hair quickly spreading out into layers upon layers of spider webs extending overhead, forming a barrier of hair in front of them.
"Tekkai Spider Web!"
The layered hair obviously gained a shine. Using Life Return allows hair to utilize the Finger Gun technique, and likewise, it can use the Tekkai technique.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
The airflow arrows attacked the hair, producing a crisp jingle.
"Scattering Wind Arrow!"
Misty in mid-air drew her bow again, the airflow in her hand transforming into arrows. This time, the arrows visibly circled from both sides like a twisting storm, howling towards the two.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
Marika's eyes sunk, her hair once again unfurling and beginning to surround the two from the black curtain-like barrier, blocking the swiftly incoming airflow arrows.
"Humph!"
Misty let out a cold snort, looking at the barrier resembling a black iron ball, not delaying as the airflow began to move in other directions.
She never intended to fight these people; notifying others was more urgent.
"Tekkai Spider Net!"
As she moved, Marika's gentle yet firm voice echoed from within the black 'iron ball.' Hair strands were woven out layer by layer, forming a spider web which rushed fiercely towards Misty in the air.
Whoosh!
The airflow's perception made Misty slightly hesitate, but she followed the airflow to dodge the entrapment of the hair web.
"Power Machine Gun!"
As soon as Misty moved, a hammer suddenly broke from the black hair barrier, firing a barrage of bullets towards her new position.
"Flowing Wind Arrow!"
The sudden bullet attack left Misty with no time to evade; she could only pull her bowstring again, releasing airflow which scattered around her in the opposite direction to form a Wind Barrier made of airflow arrows. Bullets hitting the barrier were blown away.
A gap appeared in the hair barrier below, revealing Renedia's smug expression.
Just like Maria, a red dot gleamed in her pupils.
"Observation? At such a young age..."
Misty barely had time to be astonished before the seemingly alive hair coiled at the rear, and she inhaled deeply, gathering intangible airflow in her hands to shoot an arrow. The violent wind expanded like a storm, warding off bullet attacks while swiftly taking her body downward to escape entanglement from the bullets and hair.
Swoosh!
As she descended, she drew her bow again, shooting scattered airflow arrows to force Marika to block the gap they had exposed.
"This won't work like this."
Renedia clicked her tongue, "We'll lose."
Sweat beaded Marika's forehead, her breath noticeably quickening.
Usually, attacking with hair doesn't consume much energy, but now, blocking so many airflow arrows while manipulating hair to attack consumes significantly more stamina.
The real issue isn't just stamina consumption; they need to capture this woman, that's the big problem.
If they deplete their energy without capturing this woman, she will surely escape.
"Ah-la, can't defeat her easily."
Marika smiled, lifting the hair barrier and dashing forward as Misty fell.
"Powerful Shaving Teeth!"
Meanwhile, Renedia's legs sparked electricity, propelled by power, causing each step on the ground to cover dozens of strides, moving her body as a blur.
She's young and her physique is ordinary, a typical person. Although consciously training in Body Techniques with Sage, results aren't great.
But it's not hopeless.
If her physicality isn't enough, she boosts through ability enhancement.
The principle of 'Soru' from the Six Styles is simply stepping the ground dozens of times in an instant. Though Renedia can't achieve this with her normal body condition, using power to strengthen herself doesn't make it impossible.
"Separated?"
Misty hesitated while descending, quickly reacting, gathering airflow in her hands again.
Though uncertain why they separated, the little girl's defense clearly isn't as strong as the dark-haired woman's. With her arrow coverage, she can handle both.
"Rankyaku: Black Hair Wind Blade!"
Just as she was about to shoot arrows, Marika's hair whipped out like lashes, forming pale blue slashes in front of her like a fan.
Misty's pupils constricted, she pulled 'Scattering Wind Arrow' tight, firing it.
"Flowing Wind Arrow!"
The swirling airflow clashed with the incoming Vacuum Slashes, creating shockwaves. At this moment, Marika was already in front of Misty, airflow stirring made Misty sense it, causing her to step back, retreating with the wind.
"You can't escape."
Marika smiled slightly, suddenly a tuft of hair shot from the ground, enveloping Misty's feet.
"Nani?"
Misty exclaimed in shock, "When did..."
She had completely missed the hair hidden in the ground.
"Got her!"
Marika closed in on Misty, clenching her fist, Armament coiled around turning it black, hitting fiercely.
