Asuka and Shiko, both hadn't yet assimilated the destruction of city, they started walking through it to do some research, but the more they walked they only got more convinced that they failed as their saviors, no survivors found, people left without trace… only destruction, that's when Asuka took a look at her surroundings… from afar she managed to notice a shadow, shortly after seeing it, she notified Shiko, and that's how both youngsters got closer to have a better look. Once they close enough, they managed to see a flying monster, some kind of bat much bigger in size than usual, their face seemed hiding in their belly, which was completely black and in inside there was their red eyes and mouth, a huge pair of fangs coming out of it. In the midst of all this, both youngsters were very angry and they were so close to attacking it but before it, the girl who found Shiko at scorpion's beach earlier appeared, the 3 teens were in the same place.
-Lyn: Shiko! You are here too!
-Shiko: Good! Counting you, we are 3.
-Lyn: Is that all you have to say?
-Shiko: Lyn… I would like to chat with you, but you know in the type of situation we are in.
-Asuka: Shiko, who is this girl?
-Lyn: Shiko, who is this girl?
-Shiko: Leave that discussion for later, even if you don't know each other at all, I need to 3 of us to work together, introductions are for later.
-Asuka and Lyn: … … … Fine…
After the 3 of them landed in an agreement, they took a closer look at the enemy, and it was staring back at them, while having this encounter, our 3 characters got an analysis from what they were going to face.
-Shiko: Level 23, HP 400, unknown magic meter
-Lyn: You too can see this type of analysis?
-Asuka: Alright… I do understand we are from the same world but, if you know that, it was that necessary to ask out such a stupid question?
-Lyn: Who was talking with you?
-Shiko: Stop it for once! He is staring at us!
-Kyakakakaka! Deaby is my name! I'm the guardian that with this power that was granted I will this place better, without those gross monster races! - The monster said to meet their rivals. Leaving or argument for later, the young trio decided to get into action and attack the guardian at the same time, but in mysterious way the guardian already foresaw their movements of each one, shortly after quickly moving behind them, and before they could react, they roared deeply, making the expanding waves hit our juvenile trio and lowering their HP.
-Lyn: Aaahgggg! He is way too fast for us.
-Shiko: Sh- shit, we need to surround him somehow to block him from dodging with his speed.
-Asuka: Shiko, you must have noticed already but thanks to our level, we can use new abilities.
-Shiko: Alright Asuka, try one of them… Lyn which class you picked and what level are you?
-Lyn: The guardian that I ran into when I arrived in this world gifted 2 bags of experience, I'm level 10 of tank class.
-Shiko: Oh I see, after sharing Experience with Asuka, both of us got to level up less… but, thanks to your class it's going to aid us very well since its main function is resisting hits… Lyn, I need you to watch out their movements and try to bait each attack, I'm sure you have some kind of skill to prevent you from taking too much damage, use it!
After hearing Shiko's words, both girls got ready to jump into action to execute the plan, Asuka clapped her hands aiming at Deaby and shouted. Mega blast! Casting a really potent shiny multicolored beam, between black & pink from her hands, but for the enemy noticing the attack was easy and used their black wings to shield themselves, a little magic surrounded the wing and used it as a mirror, provoking the attack that collided against it to be mirrored into Asuka, but Lyn noticed that she was in trouble immediately and used her ability -Defend waves!- Shouted and the beam detoured to hit Lyn, making her receive all the damage. Shiko after seeing Deaby distracted by this, decided to attack from behind with typical bursts of sword, but the enemy dodged swiftly making Shiko unable to see where he was going, while Lyn shouted Asuka – Look at what are you doing, you already wasted some of my HP!- Enraging Asuka again making her argue again, but hey were shortly interrupted, because Deaby opened their mouth and tried hitting Shiko with her huge tongue to prevent Lyn from shielding him, however, they couldn't react to it again because this new enemy moved again really fast and they didn't see it, although Lyn, managed to hear a strong burst, just like if something ran behind her giving her the opportunity to dodge Neaby -I got it, you must pay attention to the sound the wind makes when they fly!- She said to the other two.
Subsequently, Lyn used another technique -Dance with blades! - spawning magic swords around her -Good, I can know each time they fly near me when the swords react! -She said confidently, but shortly Asuka answered – In what mind is that good idea? You are supposed to tank the attacks, not taking him away from you, now they will have Shiko and I as their target- and just like said, Deaby quickly got close once again to attack Shiko but suddenly a strange string caught them before hurting him. The three of them were surprised and they looked at where the string was coming from and beside it there was a guy, long blond hair, he had 2 locks that covered almost all of his face, dressed with clothes covered in the fur of some kind of beast, green eyes and a confident smile.
- I can't believe that catching such a slow monster was so difficult for you- he mocked at them -Darn you, how dare you say I'm slow? - Deaby answered the mysterious guy – Shut up, now you are my prey- said the guy and without letting Deaby answer once again, he pulled a strange weapon, a wavy long sword and then he threw it against Deaby -Swoomerang! - Exclaimed 1while almost critically hurting the guardian, but he managed to get free from the rope and barely dodge the sword, after failing the attack it returned to the hands of the mysterious guy.
Deaby, surprised did notice that the young man could follow his speed, he was caught by Asuka's paralyzer so he was still for a while -Shiko, negotiate with them fast! – He shouted to Asuka while trying all he could to no letting Deaby go.
-Shiko: Hey you! I see you have the same purpose as us, I managed to come up with a plan to defeat it, but I need you to collaborate with us.
-Mysterious guy: Hmm… a plan? If that benefits me, the alliance could be interesting, I'm all ears.
-Lyn: I will serve as the shield, don't fear attacking freely. But firstly, I need to know your name to select it.
-Mysterious guy: My name is Zene, that is something you 3 only know.
-Shiko: The strong stat of that thing it is their speed, you can see that it is very careful about their attacks because it could damage him badly, although their HP is somewhat high, their defense is not. Since you can follow his lead, I need you to tell us what movement can corner him, since you are some kind of ninja, do you have any more weapons?
-Zene; So, you want to use my variety of attacks to swiftly defeat him…
-Shiko: If you got it, I wait for your collaboration, let's get this done this way.
After those words, Deaby manage to freed themselves from Asuka's paralysis because Asuka was no longer able to maintain it, making it fly fast again. At first moment it could see it used -Demon scream! Launching many voice waves that were more potent than before, but thanks to Lyn, she could prevent it and position herself as a shield – Mirror! - Activated a barrier making the attack reflect into him. His own attack hurt it and lowered a lot of HPs, Shiko seeing this took advantage and attacked, he flung into Deaby but he managed to quickly recover, and dodged Shiko and getting Shiko out of the way with his tongue. – Perfect, you did as I wished! - Shiko said while hurt but confidently. And without letting Deaby react even with his speed, Lyn managed to hurt him with the only offensive skill she had – Sonic lance! - consisting of many fast thin gusts, hitting Deabay's right wing, the attack dealt little damage, but thanks to it Deaby was force to use a little more magic on their wings, and then used the skill -Demon wings!- Their wings were surrounded with magic, just like fireworks and letting it fly even if he was damaged.
-Asuka: Once we corner him, I will use "Fairy blast" against him, to ensure we finish him.
-Shiko: Wouldn't this leave you in bad condition again?
-Asuka: Back then I had lower level, the stronger I become, the more I can resist the attack, meanwhile you two corner him, I will charge my skill.
Deaby after hearing this, started attacking more precisely, to avoid getting cornered, using their harmful magic of the wings to hit Zene with a lunge, knowing that he was the most dangerous because he could follow their speed, Lyn to avoid anyone getting hurt again, last resorted to the skill – Love! - and suddenly, from Deaby's eyes the girl became attractive and stood still and stared at her.
-Shiko: Lyn! What the hell are you doing?
-Lyn: Don't you worry, this attack makes the objective fall in love with me for a few seconds, making it immobile after seeing me, giving that dumb girl more time to use a skill.
By surprise, their ability lasted very little, so deaby, fleetingly attacked Lyn – Cross wings! – he tackled while crossing their wings with magic surrounding them in that way her HP lowered beyond half – ahg! I must resist! – Lyn exclaimed with determination, and when Deaby was about to end Lyn's life with another attack, Shiko helped her dodge with "Spear sword" On purpose, to cancel the next attack from Zene. He launched some kind of magic cards, which glued into Deaby's left wing, afterwards they all exploded at the same time making the guardian fell off from the sky, since the attack left the other wing remaining, he stopped using "Demon wings" and both wings were damaged and had to rest on the top of a destroyed building.
-Asuka, now! - They shouted to end for once and for all with Deaby -Fairy blast! - Asuka shouted while casting for a second time a powerful beam, Shiko shouted to the other two to search a hiding spot before impact, and Deaby noticed he was done for and only managed to scream desperately -Darn you, Inferior race! How dare do this to me!?- The attack directly hit him, provoking a huge explosion that left the city in even a worse state.
After this has ended, there was a lot of smoke coming from Asuka's palms, But the girl was able to endure the entirety of the impact, the rest came out of their hiding and congratulated Shiko and Asuka.
-Shiko: So, this is… the power of a mage, everything is in worse state but you did it.
-Asuka: Ehh! Is that a compliment?
-Shiko: Aren't you used to get them?
Asuka turned back while blushing due to Shiko's words and said – it's not like if I cared – and after that small chit chat, from the rubble Lyn detected some noise – That sound… is emitted by… I can't believe it! He is…!?- and before she could react, from the rubble emerge another human-monster hybrid… A hybrid between human and the monster that was Deaby, he was transformed just the previous guardian completely controlled by black magic – Nice try little inferior race – he expressed calm and confidently, immediately afterwards, he just raised his hand, and pointed at Zene, and from it a black beam pierced the young man's chest leaving him in a critical state, the rest were astonished by what just happened and only had time to look back at Zene meanwhile he was heavily injured by the beam.
– ¡Kyakakakakaka! – Deaby's terrible laughter resounded, meanwhile the rest assimilated what just happened, still tired, but filled with anger and determination they prepared to keep on fighting – I'm sorry… Forgive me Zene… I failed you – Lyn said, brimming with tears of anger in her eyes and prepared to give her best next time…
