“. . .”
Hana blinks her eyes multiple times.
“. . .”
She silently gets up and sits on the floor.
*CRING CRING*
“. . .”
She was trying to move her body, but the metallic blue chains tying her body were blocking her joints. She also looked towards her hands, and there were three handcuffs binding both of her hands.
“Say, what was that whole thing about the Game Master wanting to kill my Kaito-senpai?”
*!!!*
“T-THAT’S A FUCKING LIE!! THAT LITTLE BRAT NEXT TO YOU IS LYING!! SHE’S JUST PLAYING A PRANK ON YOU, HANA-SAN!!”
“. . .”
Hana stood up, and her entire body was suddenly engulfed by a red aura, and red sparks occasionally appeared throughout.
*GRATAK GRATAK*
Hana breaks all of the metallic blue chains and the three metal handcuffs from her body and hands with her raw powers. All of the made-up metals crumble and disintegrate into nothing.
She looks to her left and right to analyze her surroundings.
“. . .”
She looks towards Luna and walks towards her.
“Luna-san, are you okay?”
*!!!*
Luna was feeling a bit tense and afraid because of what had happened previously, but she had a massive relief because she saw that Hana’s face showed worry over her well-being.
“H-Hana-san!! I am fine! Are you okay?”
“. . .Yeah, I am!”
*!!!*
Hana also suddenly hugs Luna and startles her.
“I apologize for scaring you! I promise I will never do that ever again!”
“. . .It’s okay, Hana-san! Thank you!”
“. . .”
Claire observes everything and stands cautiously. Just like the Game Master, she also had witnessed Hana and how terrifying she can be in combat. She stands 5 meters away from her, yet she’s sweating and feels afraid nonetheless.
“(Not even Nacht-kun said he can defeat her. What should I do?)”
“(Good! Hana-san is back on her feet! We can definitely win this now! She can keep that beastly woman at bay and keep Luna safe at the same time easily!)” thinks Kasumi.
Kasumi jumps forward and swings her katana at the Game Master while he is still terrified and frozen at the sight of Hana being awake.
*!*
*TRANG*
The Game Master hurriedly raises his left hand and distorts space around it to block Kasumi’s katana.
“Where are you looking at? You’re fighting me!” said Kasumi mockingly.
“GRRR!! I’M IN THE MIDDLE OF SOMETHING HERE!!” said the Game Master with a clearly shaken tone.
*SNAP*
*WUSH*
The Game Master vanishes with his finger snap, and Kasumi’s katana swung at nothing. He appears directly next to Claire.
“Young Master!”
She sees that the Game Master is sweating a lot and his body is shaking. Claire immediately embraces his left hand to calm him down.
“Young Master! You are not alone! I am here with you!”
“. . .Thanks, Claire.” The Game Master smiled at Claire.
Kasumi is standing 10 meters behind them, and Hana and Luna are standing 5 meters in front of them.
“Luna-chan! Go hide yourself away from danger! Try to surprise them and use your Faith power according to your own judgment!”
“I understand!!”
Luna walks away from Hana and tries to hide herself; that task in itself is proving to be impossible, as there’s nothing in this room that will help hide her presence, as it’s just one giant, open blue room.
“Hana-san! Are you okay? Is it all right for you to be moving around already?”
“I should’ve been the one asking you that question, Kasumi-san! You’ve been fighting non-stop this whole time!”
“I feel fine, actually! This does sting a lot, but I simply pay no attention to it!” said Kasumi as she raised her left hand towards Hana.
“Kasumi-san! It’s about time we end this whole charade!”
“I agree, Hana-san! Let’s beat them up quickly and free everyone from this stupid killing game!”
“Which one do you want, Kasumi-san?”
This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road. If you spot it on Amazon, please report it.
“I take it you want the man, right? I’ll handle the woman! Though I kinda already familiarized myself with his Faith power. You make the call, Hana-san! I’m fine with either!”
“I see! Thanks for the opportunity, Kasumi-san! Then I’ll take the GAME MASTER!!” said Hana as she suddenly lowers her tone, nearing the end of her sentence.
*!!*
The Game Master immediately felt chill in his bones hearing Hana say his name.
“Young Master! Brace yourself! They’re coming!”
“*pant pant* Alright! Be careful, Claire!”
“They want to take us on separately; we should stick together!”
“That might also be a problem because they’re also friends. They might have great chemistry.”
“Alright, Nacht-kun!”
*THUMP*
*!!!*
Suddenly, Hana stomps the floor below really hard with her right foot. The red aura surrounding her entire body is raging wildly.
“HEY!! GAME MASTER!! Answer my question! How long has it been since you kidnapped us into this stupid maze of yours?”
*GULP*
The Game Master was hesitant to answer. He gulps his own spit as he prepares himself to answer, even though he doesn’t want to, but he has a feeling that that would make her even more pissed than she already is.
“About eighteen hours. . .”
“SO, IT’S ALMOST BEEN AN ENTIRE DAY SINCE I’VE LAST SEEN MY KAITO-SENPAI?? IS THAT RIGHT, GAME MASTEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRR????”
*BA-THUMP*
The Game Master’s heart felt like it stopped and skipped a few beats. His heart is racing rapidly afterwards.
“N-Nacht-kun!”
Claire hugs his left arm to calm down his fear.
“I’m sorry, Claire, but you’ve seen her yourself, how violent she is in action.”
“I am! But her anger is targeted at you, so that’s probably why I don’t fear her as much as you.”
*BWOOOOOSSSHHH*
*!!!!!*
All of a sudden, Hana lunges forward and closes the five-meter distance between them within a second. She has her right hand clenched into a fist, pulled back behind her head, ready to swing a deadly punch.
“NACHT-KUN!!”
Claire immediately wanted to move to the Game Master’s front.
*DAHK*
“URGH!!”
But Kasumi suddenly appeared from behind and kicked her in her left side with her left leg. Though her left waist transforms into the elk’s furry body, it lessens the damage she receives by a ton.
*BWOOOSSHHH*
But she was still sent flying 10 meters away from her spot.
*SRRRTTTT*
She lands and slides on the floor on her two feet.
“NACHT-KUN!!”
*!*
Kasumi followed after her and was already in front of her. She’s 2 meters away from the floor in the air, falling down towards her, and swinging her katana vertically at her.
*CTANG*
*?!*
Claire grows Elk antlers from her right forearm and blocks Kasumi’s katana with them. Kasumi also lands on the floor with her katana still pushing down against the antlers.
“Sorry, but an elk’s antlers are really, really sturdy!”
“Is that so? Wanna bet that I can cut it if I actually tried?”
“Interesting, I didn’t think you were capable of spewing such prideful mockery.”
“That’s because this is the first time we met! I didn’t even know you existed until just a moment ago!”
“I guess I shouldn’t have judged a book by how it looks through CCTV footage.”
“Wow, new idiom or something? Never heard of that one!”
“I made it up! Sorry!”
*BWOOSSHH*
They both jump away from each other and create a two-meter distance between them.
*GRAHK*
Hana swings her right hand at the Game Master’s face, but he lifts his right hand up and creates a thick space distortion in front of him, blocking the punch.
“What the hell is this, Game Master? EXPLAIN!!”
“(TCH! I’D RATHER NOT SPOIL HOW MY FAITH POWER WORKS, BUT AT THE SAME TIME, MAKING HER ANGRY IS JUST GOING TO MAKE HER STRONGER!! AND THAT ANGELIC/DEMONIC BEINGS OF HER MIGHT COME OUT, AND I’LL BE IN BIG TROUBLE!! AH FUCKING HELL!! NO MATTER WHAT I CHOSE, IT’S JUST BAD FOR ME!!)”
“I-I don’t think it matters if you understand what my Faith power is or not! You are still stronger than me by a large margin anyway, Hana-san!”
“TOO BAD, GAME MASTER!! THAT’S NOT AN ANSWER TO MY QUESTION!!”
Hana quickly retracts her right arm, and now she’s swinging the same hand harder at his space distortion.
*PRANG*
*BAAM*
*BWOOOSSHH*
*!!!*
“OHOOORRRGGHH!!!!”
Hana breaks apart the space distortion into tiny pieces, and the distortion eventually fixes itself after a while. Her punch also hit the Game Master’s chest and sent him flying, eight meters away from her. He also coughs up blood on impact.
*DAHK DAHK*
His back hits the floor two times before he stops and lies on the floor, with his face facing down.
“OHORGH! OHORGH!!”
He’s coughing up more blood on the floor.
“(URGGGHH!!! MY CHEST FUCKING HURTS!! WHAT IS SHE?? WHO THE FUCK IS THIS BITCH?? WHERE DID SHE EVEN COME FROM?? WHY WAS SHE EVEN HERE RIGHT DURING THE DAY I CARRIED OUT MY GRANDIOSE PLAN!! FUCKING DAMMIT!!)”
The Game Master tries to get up from the floor.
“OHORRGH!!”
But he almost fell when he coughed up more blood as he was struggling to get up.
“I’m sorry, Game Master-san! Did that hurt?”
*!!*
The Game Master hears Hana talking near him. She’s already standing right in front of him.
“Wow, that’s a lot of blood! Did my punch really hurt that badly? Need help to stand up, Game master-san?” said Hana in a sweet yet mocking tone.
“TCH!!”
He got angry at her clear show of mockery. He points the tip of her cane right at her forehead at point-blank range.
*BANG*
*GRRRTTTTKKKK*
*GRAHK*
*?!*
The Game Master shot out his see-through drill right at Hana’s forehead. But it clashes against the hardness of Hana’s forehead, thanks to her red aura, and it breaks apart on its own after a few seconds.
“WHAT THE FUCK IS YOUR FAITH POWER EVEN IS??” shouts the Game Master in frustration.
*BAAAMMM*
“DON’T SHOUT SO SUDDENLY, YOU LOUD PRICK!!”
“UAARRGGGHH!!!”
Hana suddenly kicked the Game Master in the chin with her right leg, and he was sent flying again, 10 meters behind. His chin also bruises in blue. When his body was still flying through the air, Hana suddenly ran ahead and stopped at the spot where his body would land. She lifts her right leg high above her head. Her body is flexible enough to be able to accomplish this feat.
“HAAAHH!!”
*BAAAAMMM*
*DAHK*
“AAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRGGGGHHHH!!!”
Hana drops an axe kick right towards the Game Master’s chest as he flies towards her. His body was slammed against the floor, with her back hitting the floor really hard.
*!*
But before the Game Master even processed and took in all the pain and damage that he just received, he opens his eyes and sees that Hana is already swinging her right fist coming towards his face.
*SNAP*
*BAAAAAMMM*
“. . .”
The Game Master vanishes from his spot with a finger snap, and Hana’s punch hits the floor.
“Now, now, where do you think you’re hiding, GAME MASTERR-SAAANNNN??!!”
The Game Master appears far above in the air, 30 meters off the floor. He creates a blue platform and kneels on top of it.
*pant pant pant*
“(FUCKING DAMMMIT!! SHE IS AS RELENTLESS AS SHE ALWAYS WAS!! GRRR!! Should I bombard her by calling about 200 of my other officers??”
*pant pant pant*
“(Nah, wait a second! She might get overwhelmed by the sheer numbers, and that would frustrate her. Which means that angelic or demonic thingy will come out!! FUCKING DAMMIT!! JUST HER PRESENCE ALONE BACK THEN WAS THREATENING THE INGERITY OF MY ENTIRE INFINITE MAZE!! WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT EVEN ABOUT? I HAD TO MANUALLY REINFORCE THAT SPECIFIC ROOM JUST SO ITS INTIMIDATING PRESENCE DOESN’T SPILL OFF TO THE ENTIRE MAZE!!)”
*pant pant pant*
“(I have never seen something like this in my life before!)”
“. . .”
The Game Master slowly tries to peek below his blue platform. He slowly crawls forward and moves his head past the blue platform.
“. . .”
“(Where is she? I only see Claire and Coldhart. Though it seems like Claire can somewhat handle Coldhart on her own. For some reason, her Vein armor isn’t glowing as bright as previously anymore.)”
“. . .”
“(*SIGH* Seriously, what kind off people am I facing against right now? All of them have Faith power that would excel everyone from the Underworld in a combat!! Well, maybe except the brat’s. Hers aren’t really suitable for combat. . .)”
“. . .”
The Game Master tries to search for Hana far below on the floor, but he does not see her anywhere.
“(Hold on! Where the hell is she?)”
“Looking for someone?”
*!!!!*
The Game Master heard Hana’s voice coming from behind, and he immediately turned around. He was startled and shocked even further when he saw that Hana was floating a bit higher in the air, one meter away from him.
*FLAP FLAP*
She has a pair of pitch black wings growing out of her back. Black feathers are constantly appearing throughout her whole body, though the aura and sparks around her body remain red.
