162. The Third Judge pair (3)

  “W-WHAT ON EARTH IS THAT?”

  “Kaito-senpai, what are we even looking at right now. . .”

  Both Kaito and Hana are carried by Kaito’s summoned being, and they fly higher into the sky, reaching the heights of the 30m tall monster’s head in front of them.

  Kaito takes a glance at the entirety of the giant monster from its toes up to its head.

  “This is basically a Kaijuu already! I have no idea something like this exists. Is this that guy’s Faith power?”

  “Kaito-senpai, are we fighting this thing?”

  “Of course! I came here to destroy a small branch of a demonic cult that tricked innocent people into joining! They brainwashed them or forced them to do their messed-up ritual for reasons I could not comprehend!”

  “How are you going to fight it, Kaito-senpai?”

  “With my Faith power that was given by God, of course!”

  “What should I do, Kaito-senpai?”

  “Use your fast movement to distract it, together with my summoned being! I’ll analyze its movement patterns for a while!”

  “Alright, Kaito-senpai!”

  “And for that--!”

  *Smooch*

  Kaito once again kisses Hana on her left cheek.

  “Okay! Go!”

  “KAITO-SENPAI, I LOVE YOUUUUUUUUUUU!!!”

  *BWOOOOOOSSSHHHHH*

  Hana jumps off Kaito’s summoned being towards a tree nearby.

  “BE CAREFUL, HANA-CHAN!!”

  “WILL DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!”

  Sakurai Hana’s Faith power is called Sentimental, a Special type. It is a power to convert emotions into raw strength and power. This allows her to do various stuff, like, for example, doing explosive jumps, moving faster than a car, lifting a house, punching away a giant truck into the sky, etc. When filled with power, Hana’s entire body will glow dimly red, and red sparks will appear occasionally, randomly. The burst of strength and power lasts verily depending on how strong her emotions are, until the next strong wave of emotions fuels her. But out of all emotions, feelings of love will give her the most amount of strength.

  *THUMP*

  Hana jumps down to the ground and immediately turns around towards a tree behind, standing at 12 meters tall. She jumps back up high, and when she reaches the top of the tree, she grabs it and uproots the entire tree from the ground.

  “HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!”

  *BWOOOOOOSSSHHHHH*

  Hana throws the entire tall tree towards the giant monster on its face.

  *GRAAAHKK*

  *THUMP THUMP THUMP*

  The tree immediately snaps in half on impact, and the giant monster’s head flung to the side a bit, forcing it to take a few steps back from the impact.

  “FIGHT ME YOU UGLY THINGY!! YOU LOOK LIKE THE DRAWING OF A CHILD WHO CAN’T DRAW IF THEY WERE TO ASKED TO DRAW THEIR FAVORITE DINOSAUR!” shouts Hana as she landed on the ground.

  “Gahahahahahaha! Pipsqueak! You really think you can match me in this form? I’ll show you how harsh the reality of the situation really is!”

  *!*

  “(It talks?? So, it really is just that one masked man transforming into this thing!)” said Kaito in his head.

  “DIEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!”

  The giant humanoid T-rex swings its right fist at Hana on the ground.

  *BAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMM*

  *GRAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHKKKKK*

  Its punch cracks the ground in a large area, as well as creating a small hole in the ground. Hana jumps up high and lands on its hand. She runs fast across the length of its giant hand and reaches its face in no time.

  *BWWOOOOSSSHHHH*

  She does another explosive jump towards its left cheek, preparing a punch.

  “FALL DOWN!!”

  *BAAAAAAMMMMM*

  “AAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRHHHHHHHHHH!!!”

  *GRAAAAHHHHHKKKK*

  *GROOOOOOOOOOOOO*

  Hana punched the giant monster in the face, and the impact sent it tumbling over and falling on its side towards the ground.

  *BWWOOOOSSSHHHH*

  Hana lands on the ground and jumps up high once again. She falls down fast towards the monster’s neck while doing a diving kick.

  “RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!”

  *!*

  The giant T-rex monster suddenly swung its left palm to punch Hana as she was falling down at it fast.

  *BAAAMMMMM*

  But suddenly, Kaito’s summoned being appeared between them and blocked the giant punch with its shield.

  “WHAAAATTT??”

  Even though the size difference is obvious, Kaito’s summoned being was able to block its punch as if it were blocking a punch coming from a normal human being.

  *BAAAAAMMMMM*

  “AAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!”

  Hana dive-kicked the giant monster on its neck as it was still lying down. The giant monster quickly held its neck with its two giant hands, trying to endure the pain as much as possible.

  Hana landed on the ground next to it. Seeing how the giant monster was rolling back and forth violently on the ground satisfied her so much that it fueled her with a strong emotion, refueling her Faith power.

  “AT THIS RATE, KAITO-SENPAI DIDN’T EVEN HAVE TO TOUCH YOUR FILTHY SCALE WITH HIS PRETTY AND SMOOTH PAIR OF HANDS!! I’LL HANDLE YOU MYSELF, YOU DISGUSTING REPTILE!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!” said Hana, laughing hysterically.

  *!!!*

  But then, as the giant monster was groveling on the ground, it suddenly turned towards Hana with its giant right hand slamming down towards her.

  *BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMM*

  *GRAAAAAAAAAKKKKKKKKHHHHHHHHH*

  The giant monster slams down its giant hand on the ground and cracks the ground in a large radius.

  On the very last second, Kaito’s summoned being pulled away Hana from her spot, and they narrowly dodged the giant monster’s hand slap.

  “HANA-CHAN!! DON’T PROVOKE OUR ENEMY CARELESSLY LIKE THAT!! I THOUGHT I TOLD YOU TO BE CAREFUL!!” shouts Kaito.

  “I-I’m sowwy. . .”

  Kaito’s summoned being carries Hana to Kaito, who’s been standing near the giant monster’s feet, and places her carefully on the ground. Hana sits on the ground and starts crying like a little kid.

  “I’M SOWWYY, KAITO-SENPAAIIII!!! HUWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!”

  “E-Eh?? You’re crying?”

  “I DIDN’T MEAN TO PUT MYSELF IN HARM’S WAY!! I APOLOGIZE, KAITO-SENPAIIIIIIIII!!! PLEASE DON’T HATE MEEEEEEEE!!!!”

  Kaito crouches down and pats her head to calm her down.

  “I’m not gonna hate you! What are you talking about, Hana-chan?? It was just a mistake! I am not gonna abandon you just because you make mistakes! Please be more careful next time, alright? If you get hurt, that would make me sad! I’m sorry if I hurt you with my tone or language.”

  “*sobs sobs* You’re not gonna *sobs* hate me?”

  “*Sigh* Silly girl.”

  Kaito hugs Hana and embraces her tightly in his arms.

  “I love you, you idiot! I am not gonna leave you! I want to be with you for my whole life!”

  “*sobs sobs* I love you too, Kaito-senpai! *sobs sobs*”

  “*Sigh* What am I supposed to do with this lovable idiot?”

  “*sobs sobs* Kaito-senpai. . .”

  Kaito lets go of his hug and stands up.

  “Now, I am not gonna leave you! I still have to deal with that ugly thing, remember?” said Kaito as he pointed to the giant monster, which is now standing up, clenching its fist.

  “RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!”

  The giant monster swings its punch at Kaito and Hana. Kaito lifts his right arm, and it is clad in his armor with his shield.

  “Inverse Shield!”

  *BAAAAMMM*

  *!!!*

  Kaito blocks the punch with relative ease. He wasn’t launched away, nor was there a shockwave on impact.

  “HUH?? WHAT IS HAPPENING? WHAT’S WITH YOU? THIS IS THE SAME THING THAT HAPPENED UNDER THE CASTLE WHEN YOU BLOCKED ALL OF MY SUBORDINATES' ATTACKS!!”

  The giant monster was enraged, seeing how his attempt to kill them had failed miserably. It opens its jaw wide open, and a giant ball of yellow lightning appears inside its mouth.

  *ZZZRRRRRRRRRRTTTTTTTTTTTT*

  There are gigantic yellow sparks coming off the ball of lightning inside its mouth. The giant monster is ready to obliterate everything in its path with its breath attack.

  “Kaito-senpai! Are you gonna be okay? I’ve never seen you handle an attack of that size. I’m worried!”

  Kaito gently looks towards Hana.

  “Nah, it’s okay! Have faith in this boyfriend of yours, Hana-chan! Although there is only forest and mountains behind us, I still won’t let that ugly thing destroy this beautiful nature! Just sit back and relax, Hana-chan!”

  Hana’s face turned red seeing how gallant and courageous her boyfriend is. She felt like falling in love with him just like the first time, all over again.

  Kaito dismisses his shield and summons his long sword in his right hand. He wields it with his two hands. He swings it backward, ready to clash with the giant monster’s breath.

  “YOU AND YOUR ANNOYING WOMAN!! BEGOOOONNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!”

  *ZZZZZRRRRRRRRRRTTTTTTTTTTTT*

  *BWOOOOOOOOOOSSSSSSSSSSSHHHHH*

  The giant monster launches its gigantic breath attack. It is a giant beam of yellow electricity with a diameter of 25 meters, which is almost as big as the giant T-Rex monster itself. The giant beam of lightning travels at half the speed of light, and it reached Kaito and Hana almost instantly.

  “Inverse Sword!”

  Kaito swings his long sword against the incoming giant beam of yellow lightning.

  *ZZZRRRRRRTTTTTTTT*

  *ZZZZRRRRRRKKKKKKKKK*

  *!!!!!*

  After coming in contact with Kaito’s long sword, the entire giant beam of lightning suddenly dispersed and immediately disintegrated into nothing.

  “HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUHHHHHH?? AGAIIINNNNN??!!!”

  Hana is in awe seeing the cool sight of his boyfriend protecting her and her surroundings. Her face turns even redder than before.

  Kaito’s Faith power is called Inverse Holy Knight, a Summoner type. He is able to summon a sentient knight armor, wielding a long sword and a shield. This Holy Knight has an ability called Inverse on its sword and shield. Everything that came into contact with either the shield or sword in a clash will be neutralized in its entirety, no matter how big or how strong that force or something is. The shield and sword will automatically gain the same amount of mass, force, velocity, weight, and everything to perfectly become equal with anything that it clashes with. In simpler terms, whatever clashes with either the sword or the shield will result in a tie, no matter the circumstances. As per the rules of the Summoner type Faith power, Kaito himself can wield its various armors and its sword and shield as well. The obvious weak point of this Faith power is that it cannot do much on its own, aside from utilizing the summoned being like a perfect pawn, acting like a regular knight. Plus, his summoned being can fly in the sky and is quite physically strong.

  “Hana-chan! Let’s finish off that ugly thing together!!” said Kaito, after turning around and offering Hana a hand.

  Hana takes Kaito’s hand with no delay.

  “Of course, my precious Kaito-senpai!”

  Hana’s entire body glowed red, and red sparks occasionally appeared. Kaito throws Hana towards the giant monster’s legs. Right after, his summoned being grabs Kaito’s left hand and drags him to fly above the giant monster as well.

  “FAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLL!!!” shouts Hana.

  *BAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMM*

  “AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!”

  *GRAAAAAHHHHHHKKKKKK*

  Hana kicks the giant monster’s right ankle with her two legs, and the force of her kick topples the giant monster to fall to the front, to the ground. It cracks the ground in a large area on impact.

  From above the sky, both Kaito and his summoned being are ready with their shields. They fall fast towards the giant monster’s head at 70km/h.

  “TIME TO END THIS FARCE, DEMON WORSHIPPER!!”

  *BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMM*

  *BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMM*

  Both Kaito and his summoned being hit the giant T-Rex monster on the back of its head as it was lying down on the ground.

  “AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRHHHHHHHHH!!!!”

  On impact, the giant T-rex monster screams its lungs to the fullest, and eventually, its roar gets weaker and weaker, and fades away.

  *THUMP*

  His head falls to the ground, and now it is no longer moving.

  “Kaito-senpai!!”

  *THUD*

  Hana jumps and lands on the giant monster’s head, next to Kaito and his summoned being.

  “Is he dead?”

  “Nah? I didn’t hit him that hard! Just enough to make him pass out.”

  “But he’s not returning to normal. What should we do now?”

  “Good question, what should we do, huh??”

  They both think to themselves for a few minutes in silence.

  “Ah! Of course!”

  “Kaito-senpai?”

  Kaito dismisses his arm armor as well as his shield and summons the Sword of Purification in his right hand.

  “This seems to be some kind of demon, right? The only thing effective against demons is God!”

  “Ohhhhh!! Uuuhhh, but he’s lying in a prone position. You can’t stab its chest like this. How do we flip him up?”

  “Hmm, with strong enough emotion, I think you can. . .”

  “Uuhhhh, Kaito-senpai! That would require you to marry me first. . .”

  “Hmm? But you did punch this guy and toppled it over, right?”

  “Kaito-senpai, punching and lifting are two different things. . . What if my energy runs out before I successfully flip him over?”

  “Alright! I’d rather avoid that possibility. I’ll try stabbing him here on its head.”

  “Wait, Kaito-senpai! Couldn’t you just use your shield to bash this guy and flip him over?”

  “No! That’s not how my Faith power works! It needs to be a clash for my Faith power to work! You don’t call hitting something stationary a clash, wouldn’t you?”

  “Ooohhhhh! Now I understand! But didn’t you just knock out this ugly thing, simply by hitting its head hard enough?!”

  “That was mostly thanks to the physical strength of my summoned being, as well as the fact that we were falling pretty fast towards this thing.”

  “I see, I see!”

  “Well then—”

  Kaito stabs the giant monster’s head with the Sword of Purification.

  “. . .”

  Both of them observe the state of the Sword.

  *!!!*

  And it slowly turns black. The Sword absorbs black mist that is now coming off the entire giant monster’s body.

  “Eh? It works?”

  “It doesn’t have to be on the chest??”

  *!*

  “Hana-chan! This ugly thing is shrinking!”

  “Right!”

  Kaito summons his summoned being, and it holds the two of them to not let them fall. They all slowly descend towards the ground as the giant monster’s body slowly and surely shrinks smaller and smaller.

  After only a few seconds, the giant monster is gone, and the masked man is now lying unconscious on the ground, in the same prone position.

  Kaito and Hana land safely on the ground, thanks to Kaito’s summoned being. Kaito dismisses his summoned being and takes a careful look at the blackened Sword.

  “. . .This looks slightly different than the usual. It has a black mist engulfing it. I don’t think I’ve ever seen this before.”

  “Is it wise to stab it into yourself, Kaito-senpai?”

  “I. . .don’t know. But—”

  Kaito grabs and holds Hana’s hand firmly with his other hand.

  “Help me shoulder whatever this is, Hana-chan!”

  Hana grips Kaito’s hand tightly and strongly.

  “Kaito-senpai! I am your fiancé! I will always be by your side through all the hardships and storms!”

  Kaito smiles, hearing Hana’s words of reassurance.

  “Here we go!”

  Kaito stabs himself with the blackened Sword.

  *!!*

  But suddenly, a dove appeared above his head, and it was glowing brightly, blocking all of the black mist from entering Kaito’s body.

  “Huh? What??”

  “Eh? A dove?” said Hana.

  Somehow, Kaito feels like he has to pull the Sword out of his body, and he does exactly that.

  “W-What?”

  The dove above Kaito’s head flies over towards the blackened Sword, and it shines brightly once more.

  *!*

  “YYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!!!!”

  The Sword of Purification slowly turns back into its pure white color, followed by an unnerving scream coming from the black mist, until the scream and the black mist slowly fade away completely from the Sword.

  The dove also flies back into Kaito’s chest and disappears.

  “. . . .”

  “What just happened, Kaito-senpai?”

  “I. . . know that dove. It’s the Holy Spirit of God that God bestowed upon us, His followers. It was protecting me from that black mist, which I can only assume was a genuine demon.”

  “So, that must mean you should never inject it into yourself, right?”

  “Yeah. . . Thank God, He protected us.”

  “Yeah, thank God, He did.”

  “So, then the only thing left to do is to hand this guy over to the police along with everyone else! Ah, I also promised that guy to pick him up after everything was over.”

  “Then, let’s do that, Kaito-senpai! Lead the way!”

  “Alright!”

  Kaito drags the masked man along the ground as he and Hana walk back towards the destroyed dungeon.
