214. Surprise Encounter (3)

  *FWOOOOOOOOOOOOMMM*

  “AAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRGGGHHHHH!!!! HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOTTTT!!!”

  “AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! DIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!”

  *FWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMM*

  “AAAAAAAARRRRRRGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!”

  In the United Kingdom, Britain, in a city called Brighton, there is a Believer who suddenly went rampage and attacked random civilians. She is a Fire elemental Believer, and she has burnt three random nearby civilians with a flamethrower shot from her hand.

  There was a traffic light where cars stopped. This Believer, a 33-year-old woman, walked in front of the cars and suddenly unleashed her Faith power and burned all the front rows of cars without warning.

  “AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!”

  Everyone successfully escaped, and no one was hurt.

  *BOOM BOOM BOOM*

  The cars soon exploded, but all of the cars behind had already driven backward to a safe distance from the explosions.

  “HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! I’M GOING TO BURN AND LEVEL EVERYTHING TO THE GROUND!!”

  The woman has wavy, long hair that reaches her back. She wears a pink blouse over a black V-neck T-shirt, a black waist belt, a pair of short pink skirts that cover her thighs, a short black pants underneath, and a pair of black boots. She has two golden earrings hanging from her right ear.

  “STOP THIS MADNESS YOU DUMB WOMAN!!”

  *!*

  A 34-year-old man suddenly stands up against the Believer; he’s standing on the sidewalk 3 meters from her.

  “And who are you, foolish man?”

  “I’m a Believer as well!”

  The man enters his battle stance, and ice spikes are growing from his shoulders, his left cheek, his forearms, his legs, and on the ground in a small circle around him.

  “Heeee? Ice elemental Believer, huh? HOW POETIC!! YOU’RE GONNA TURN DOWN MY HEAT?!”

  The woman points her open right palm at the man, and the man points his open palm at the woman.

  *FWOOOOOOOOOOOMMM*

  *CSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHH*

  The woman shoots out a flamethrower while the man shoots out ice spikes continuously.

  *SSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHH*

  The flames vaporized the ice spikes, but the momentum and weight from the ice spikes held the flame in place, not being able to go further than the clash point.

  “Grrrrr!! Your Faith power is as strong as mine?”

  “Heheh! And I’m a pretty weak Believer because I merely used this for self-defense. I’m content where I am! I don’t need to be stronger! I simply have other things in life to look out for!”

  “No need to suddenly drop your backstory on me! I’ll forget about it the moment I burn you!”

  *FWOOOOOOOMMMMM*

  *!!*

  The woman increased her output and started pushing back all of the ice spikes, little by little.

  “UUURRRGGGHHH!!!!”

  This whole tug of war was witnessed by multiple bystanders.

  “D-DO YOUR BEST, MAN!!”

  “YEAH!! BEAT THAT CRAZY WOMAN!!”

  “HANG IN THERE, GOOD BELIEVER!! I’VE ALREADY CALLED THE POLICE AND THEY’LL BE HERE WITHIN MINUTES!!”

  *!!!*

  The male Believers suddenly feels a little relief knowing that officials are coming to help. His spirit was a little bit crushed when the woman’s flamethrower output got stronger, but now he’s smiling in confidence, boosting his Faith power output as well.

  “HAHAHAAHHA!!” laughs the man in high spirits.

  *!!*

  The man starts shooting bigger ice spikes, with each ice spike almost as big as an adult human’s head.

  “GHHHH!!”

  The bigger ice spikes are now pushing back the flamethrower towards their initial clash point.

  *BWOOSHHH*

  *FWOOOOMMM*

  The woman dismisses her flamethrower and shoots out flames from under her feet, jumps high in the air, 5 meters from the ground, dodging all of the large ice spikes. The woman lifts her right fist upwards, and her flames are coiling around her entire right arm. She falls right towards the man, pointing her burning hand at him.

  “DROP DEAD!!”

  *!!*

  *BWOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMM*

  “KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!!”

  “RUUUUUUUUUUUUUNNN!!!”

  The woman falls directly above the man and swings her burning fist at the top of his head, and her flames go wild and explode, creating a thick cloud of smoke, shrouding them both. The multiple passersby scream in panic as soon as they hear the loud explosion noise, forcing their way into their ears. Most of them quickly cover their ears and duck out of fear, and some of them immediately run far away from the explosion. The woman also lands on the ground near the explosion, completely unharmed.

  “HAHAHAHAHAHAHHA!!! ONE MORE PERSON KILLED!! I’M NOT GONNA STOP UNTIL I LEVEL THIS ENTIRE CITY TO THE GROUND, EVERYONE!! REMEMBER THAT!! NOBODY WILL GET AWAY FROM ME!!”

  The woman is laughing hysterically after the explosion. She seems very prideful, by the way she spoke.

  “MY NAME IS ANGELA! AND I AM GOING TO KILL EVERYONE AND DESTROY EVERY BUILDING IN THIS ACCURSED CITY!! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!”

  The woman introduced herself in the middle of the road. The smoke soon fades away and reveals a shocking turn of events.

  *!!!*

  There was a shiny, thick ball of ice at the spot where the male Believer stood.

  *GRTK*

  The ball of ice soon crumbles into pieces and disintegrates as per the will of its creator. The male Believer emerges from the ball of ice.

  “Sorry, Madam! Your flame was not hot enough! Notice how there’s not a single water drop in the area! That means my ice never melted, even under all of the flame and explosion! HAHAH!”

  “Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!”

  *!!!*

  *BWOOOOOOMMMMM*

  The woman suddenly shouts loudly, and her entire body caught fire. A giant pillar of fire 2 meters in diameter suddenly erupts from the ground, swallowing her entire body.

  “Oh no, she’s angry!”

  *FWOOSSHH*

  The giant pillar of flame disappears, and the woman emerges from it completely fine.

  “I AM GOING TO DEMOLISH EVERYTHING WITH THIS!!”

  The woman lifts her right arm above.

  *!!*

  And then everyone in the vicinity feels that the temperature in the area has spiked tremendously higher. They all started sweating.

  “Urghh! What is happening?”

  “Why is it so hot all of a sudden?”

  “G-Guys!”

  *!!!*

  One of the passersby points his finger above the woman, and there is a giant ball of flame, 6 meters in diameter, floating 4 meters away from where the woman Believer stood.

  “W-WE’RE DOOOOOMMMEEEDDDD!!!”

  “NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!”

  “WE’RE ALL GONNA DIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!”

  *Thud thud thud*

  A lot of the passersby fell on their knees as they started crying. Some of them have already accepted their fate that today is the day they all die.

  “At least my kids are safe. . .”

  “My wife and children are in the neighboring city, thankfully.”

  “My sick mother is in the hospital in the next city.”

  “This is it! What a short life I had. . .”

  But some of the passersby shout at the male believer instead of giving up.

  “MISTER!! PLEASE PROTECT ALL OF US WITH YOUR ICE!!”

  “YES, MISTER!! PLEASE!! I DON’T WANT TO DIE!! I AM STILL SO YOUNG, THERE ARE A LOT OF THINGS THAT I HAVEN’T DONE IN MY LIFE!!”

  “. . .”

  The male Believer slowly turns his head towards the two people who beg him to be saved.

  *!!*

  The two people were immediately overcome with despair as soon as they saw his expression.

  “I apologize, sir and young lady. But making that big ball of ice to protect myself was already pushing my Faith power to its absolute limit.” said the man while smiling exhaustedly.

  “ONCE I DROP THE BOMB!! I WILL BE THE ONLY SURVIVOR IN THE AFTERMATH!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! DIE EVERYONE!! THIS IS PAYBACK FOR THIS CORRUPTED CITY FOR MAKING MY CHILD’S RAPIST AND MURDERER GO FREE INTO THE WORLD EVEN WHEN HE’S CLEARLY IN THE WRONG!! FUCK ALL OF YOUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!”

  The woman swings her hand down, and the giant ball of flame flies down towards the city very fast, almost reaching the ground within one second.

  “AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!”

  “KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!”

  “WE’RE ALL DEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAADDDDD!!”

  “NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!”

  “PLEASE STOOOOOOOOOOOOPPPPPP!!!”

  Everyone in the area covered their faces and closed their eyes in fear. There is nothing more that they can do at this point. Even the male believer doesn’t try to defend himself with his ice. Fear has overtaken his heart and mind, and he loses access to his Faith power.

  *!!!!*

  But when the giant ball of flame almost touches the ground, it suddenly stops and floats stably in the air.

  “W-What?”

  The woman stares at her own giant fireball in confusion.

  “WHAT HAPPENED? WHY DID IT STOP?”

  The woman lifts her right hand upwards once again and swings it down to make the giant fireball hit the ground.

  *!*

  But her action ended up in vain, as she cannot even control her own Faith power anymore.

  “W-WHAT IS HAPPENING?! THIS ISN’T NORMAL!! FAITH POWER DOESN’T WORK LIKE THIS!! FAITH POWER ONLY FOLLOWS THE COMMAND OF ITS OWN USER!! SO, WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?”

  “Whew! We’re almost too late!”

  “W-Wow, that giant fireball was that close to the ground?”

  “Even with this instant portal, we’re still almost too late, huh?”

  “I-I apologize, guys! My friend, the one who created this portal, isn’t exactly a time-sensitive kind of person. . .”

  *!!!*

  The woman heard three new voices that she had never heard before in the area. It’s coming from behind the giant ball of flame. The giant ball of flame was lifted upwards high to the sky outside of the woman’s control.

  “That’s the terrorist!” said Miyu.

  “A woman?” said Leonna.

  “Fire Elemental, huh?” said Veint.

  Upon further look, there is a very subtle red outline on the giant ball of flame in the sky. Miyu grips her palm closed.

  *BWOOOOOOOMMMMM*

  And the giant ball of flame bursts into smaller flames and dissipates rapidly.

  “WHA---?!”

  The woman had her jaw dropped wide open at how easily her strongest attack was being dealt with.

  “EVERYONEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!” shouts Miyu.

  *!!*

  “EVERYTHING IS FINE NOW!! I AM FROM THE TEN COMMANDMENTS OF GOD!! I’LL RESOLVE THE SITUATION SWIFTLY!!”

  *!!!*

  “YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!”

  “WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!”

  “AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!”

  “WE’RE SAVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEDDDDD!!”

  “LET’S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!”

  “AWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!”

  Everyone in the area suddenly cheered. They were so unbelievably happy to see someone from the Ten Commandments of God who had personally arrived. Some of them are crying tears of relief, some of them are hopping off on the sidewalk, and some even passed out from the extreme relief.

  “So, Izumi-san! What can we help you with?”

  “Nope!”

  *!*

  “You’ve shown me how you do your job! So, I’ll show you mine. Both of you stay put and enjoy!”

  Miyu steps forward towards the woman Believer.

  “STAY AWAY!!”

  *FWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMM*

  The woman puts her right hand forward and shoots another flamethrower at Miyu.

  *!*

  Miyu simply stands still, and the flamethrower, instead of burning her entire body, whirls around her entire body instead in a small area without touching her at all. There is also a subtle red outline on the flames that whirl around her body. She grips her palm and makes all the flame surrounding her disperses instantly.

  “Stop this boring attack and give up!”

  “WHAT DID YOU SAY?”

  “Ma’am! I don’t care how pissed off you are right now! Whatever reason you are doing this doesn’t matter!”

  *!*

  Miyu suddenly floats very fast and appears next to the woman, with her right hand gripping her face.

  “Go to sleep!”

  *BAAAMMMM*

  *GRAAAKKKK*

  Miyu pushes the woman down towards the asphalt road below and plants her head deep into it. The woman passes out immediately. Miyu stands up and lets go of her face. She turns around towards all the passersby.

  “Are you guys okay?”

  *!!!*

  “WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!”

  “YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!”

  “HURRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!”

  “THANK YOU, MISS TEN COMMANDMENTS OF GOD!!!”

  “T-The name’s Izumi Miyu! Just address me as Izumi-san! That seems a lot less mouthful!”

  “HURAAAAHHHH!! IZUMI-SAAAAANNNN!!”

  *CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP*

  Everyone claps their hands at Miyu out of sheer joy. She has saved everyone from a certain doom after only being here for a few minutes.

  *CLAP CLAP*

  Miyu also claps her hands loudly twice to gain everyone’s attention.

  “Uum, are there any casualties caused by this crazy woman before I arrived here??”

  “Yes, Ma’am! She killed three random men who were walking on the sidewalks.”

  *!*

  “I see. . .”

  “(Lucas-kun. We’re late again. . .)”

  “(. . .I see. Being on time is never my strong suit.)”

  “Everyone! Please go back to your daily life! We, from the Ten Commandments of God, will handle everything from now on!”

  “ROGER!!”

  “THANK YOU, IZUMI-SAN FROM THE TEN COMMANDMENTS OF GOD!!”

  “THANK YOU IZUMI-SAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNN!!”

  Miyu smiles as she waves her hand towards everyone. She already knew the unconscious woman’s reasoning for doing this.

  “(Lucas-kun, I need you to execute someone in secret right now, are you free?)”

  “(Yes. . .)”

  “(I’ll give you the woman’s memories!)”

  “(Alright.)”

  .

  .

  .

  20 minutes later, in a random alleyway in the same city. . .

  “Phew! Alright, guys, I’m done here!”

  “Good work, Izumi-san!” said Leonna.

  “Thanks!”

  “So, in other words, the Judges and the Ten Commandments of God are basically doing the same thing in the world, with slightly different approaches.” said Veint.

  “Yeah! I myself was kinda surprised from the first time I saw the whole Judgment process, Velynia-san!”

  “How many cases are you handling within a day?” asks Leonna.

  “Hm, if I’m not mistaken, around 40-50ish every day! But there are days when I alone handle like 100 criminal cases across the world!”

  “100 IN A DAY?!” shouts Veint, surprised.

  “How about you guys?” asks Miyu.

  “Hmmm, I never really counted. . . Honey? Do you know?”

  “Around 15ish every single day, roughly! Though there are days when we handle 25 cases in total!”

  “Wow, what a busy life we have, huh? Hahahah!” said Miyu.

  “Same to you! Hahahahha!”

  *!*

  “I apologize, Izumi-san! But I just sensed another case of Gluttony in the city! We have to go!”

  “Wow! How convenient that we’re here!” said Veint.

  “Ah, no problem! I also had to continue my daily jobs! Basically, more of the same things!”

  “So, I hope from now on, the Judges and the Ten Commandments of God can be on good terms for the future! I wonder if the other Judges will be as nice, though I have no way of knowing since I’ve never met any of them. . .” said Leonna.

  “Hahahaha! I know what you feel! I feel like folks on my side aren’t gonna agree so easily either.”

  “It was a pleasure to meet you, Izumi-san!” said Veint.

  “It was a pleasure to me as well, Lucius-san!” answers Miyu.

  “Ah! Wait!”

  Leonna pulls out her smartphone.

  “Let’s trade our social media accounts!!”

  *!*

  Miyu also pulls out her phone in reflex.

  “Sure, I don’t mind!”

  .

  .

  .

  23:00, Ten Commandments of God HQ, tenth floor. . .

  *THUD*

  Miyu has finished showering and just changed into her pajamas. She’s wearing a red camisole with a pair of black short pants underneath. She plants her face deep into her pillow in her personal bedroom.

  “Tired. . . I had to deal with 37 criminal cases today! Minus that lucky meeting with that Judge.”

  . . . . .

  “(I genuinely expect the Judge to be a bunch of violent vigilantes and yet the one I met was just a normal woman who’s similar to me. . .)”

  *BEEP BEEP*

  Miyu heard her phone beeping and picked it up from a small desk next to her bed.

  “(A message this late? Who on earth. . .? If it’s someone from the Commandments, they can just talk directly to my head. . .)”

  *!*

  She receives a message from Leonna.

  -Hey, Izumi-san! I forgot to send you a photo that I took secretly at the coffee shop! It turns out cuter than I thought it would be, hehe! You’re so pretty in this picture!-

  Under the message was the photo she mentions. Leonna was taking a selfie with a peace sign while Miyu was drinking coffee candidly on the other side of the desk.

  Miyu was surprised, and her face turned from confusion to a smile.

  She replies.

  -Hahaha! Thank you, Leonna-san! About today, truthfully, there is still a lot of stuff I want to talk about, like our hobbies and such. But since we have each other’s contacts, I think we can talk a lot in the future! How about we meet again sometime in the future?-

  “. . .”

  Miyu is anxiously waiting for the reply.

  *BEEP BEEP*

  *!*

  -FOR SURE! I’LL MAKE SURE TO FREE MY SCHEDULE ANYTIME YOU WANT, IZUMI-SAN!!-

  “(W-wow, all caps. . .)”

  She smiles to herself once again.

  “(Ah, that’s right! I also made a friend today.)”
