Rachel was now fighting Luca, using her railgun skills to her advantage, and Alice and Zalgo were double-teaming Fabio. As for Giovanni...he was wrapped up in Alice's thread, struggling in vain to escape.

  Delphina watched amusedly as she saw Giovanni caught in the thread, struggling and flailing around like a fish out of water.

  "That's hilarious," she cackled, her tail still twitching in Alfonso's grip. "Looks like your pal's in quite a predicament.”

  Alfonso grumbled in frustration, still holding onto the tail. "Damn it, Giovanni!"

  Giovanni cursed wildly, still struggling to get free from the thread. "This is ridiculous! Let me go, you brats!”

  Alice yanked the thread, which was still firmly holding Giovanni tightly. "Not a chance! You're not going anywhere, buddy."

  Zalgo chuckled, watching Giovanni's desperate attempts to free himself. "Looks like you're in quite the bind, huh?”

  Giovanni growled in frustration, his movements becoming more frantic. "Shut up and let me go!"

  Rachel, still fighting Luca, couldn't help but chime in with a smirk. "Oh, calm down, buddy. You're not going anywhere until we say so.”

  "What a nuisance," Alfonso complained, reaching a hand out towards Giovanni. Giovanni's aura boomed with intensity, giving him enough strength to unravel himself out of the cocoon of thread, to Alice's surprise.

  Giovanni stumbled back, panting heavily but now free. "Hah! Take that!"

  Alice's eyes widened in surprise. "Hey, hang on a sec! How did you break free?”

  Giovanni grinned cockily, his chest heaving. "A little thing called muscle power, sweetheart."

  Zalgo scoffed in response. "More like sheer luck.”

  Giovanni bristled defiantly. "Luck? I don't need luck, I've got skill."

  Delphina couldn't help but scoff, her tail still in Alfonso's grip. "Yeah, yeah, keep telling yourself that, buddy."

  Delphina then swung her tail, launching Alphonso at Giovanni at a speed that made the former a human bullet, sending both crashing into a nearby hill.

  Both men slammed into the side of the hill, groaning in pain. Giovanni winced, rubbing his head. "Damn it, that hurt..."

  Alfonso grumbled, pushing himself up. "You're telling me...that shark girl packs one hell of a swing.”

  Giovanni grunted, sitting up amidst the broken twigs and grass. "No kidding...that tail is like a damn cannon..."

  Delphina, still observing from the sidelines, couldn't help but smirk at the sight. "And you two thought you could stand against us. How cute.”

  Giovanni shot a glare in her direction. "Don't get cocky, shark girl. We're not done yet."

  Alfonso grunted, getting back on his feet as he brushed off the debris. "Yeah, we're just getting started.”

  Delphina smirked, her tail flicking again. "Oh, I'm quaking in my boots. You two look like you're already done for."

  Giovanni scowled, cracking his knuckles. "We're far from finished, shark girl. We're just getting warmed up."

  Giovanni, Luca, Fabio, and Alfonso jump up in the air once more, prompting Delphina and the girls to follow suit.

  Zalgo engaged with Fabio, sending two of her spears at him, narrowly avoiding the spears and grabbing onto one of them, the spear dragging him along with its speed.

  Giovanni surprised Rachel with a quick punch to her gut too fast for her naked eye.

  Alice took on Luca, using her thread to ensnare his arm and flinging him down to the ground below.

  Delphina took on Alfonso for another round, trading punches and kicks. The two appeared to be equal in terms of strength and speed, until Delphina blocked one of his punches and retaliated to a tail strike to his face, sending him flying as he crashed through several hills.

  The others watched in awe as Delphina sent Alfonso flying.

  "Damn, she's putting up a hell of a fight," Giovanni muttered, his eyes widening in surprise.

  Luca nodded, still on the ground. "Yeah, she's got some real power."

  Fabio, regaining his composure, grunted in agreement. "But we're not done yet either. We can still turn this around.”

  Rachel laughed at the Traveler Bros's plight with a smirk, her railgun at her side. "Don't just worry about her, guys. We've got tricks up our sleeves too."

  Alice nodded, her thread still twirling around. "Yeah, we're not just gonna sit back and let Delphina hog all the action. We're strong too.”

  The Traveler Bros gritted their teeth, their confidence faltering slightly.

  Did you know this text is from a different site? Read the official version to support the creator.

  Luca grumbled, getting back on his feet. "Alright then, if that's how it's gonna be, then so be it."

  Fabio nodded, determination in his eyes. "We'll show you what we're made of, just you wait."

  Giovanni landed a jump-kick on Rachel, while Zalgo threw a spear at Giovanni, nearly piercing his elbow as he dodged in just the nick of time.

  Luca went searching for Rachel, wondering where Giovanni's kick sent her. Rachel, hiding behind a bush, used her scouting device to see through the solid objects in her way, catching sight of the battle-ready man. Watching him turn his back towards her, Rachel took the plunge, rushing up behind him before he could blink and slamming her railgun into him, resulting in a critical blow that launched him into the sky.

  "YES!!!!" Rachel roared, pumping her fist in the air.

  Luca let out a surprised yelp as Rachel launched him into the sky. "Wha-? What the hell?!"

  Giovanni's eyes widened as he saw Rachel send Luca flying. "Whoa...nice shot!”

  Rachel smirked, feeling a surge of pride as she lowered her railgun. "Damn straight it was!"

  Luca groaned, his head spinning as he plummeted towards the ground. "Damn...that was a good hit…”

  Giovanni chuckled, watching Luca plummet to the ground. "Yeah, Rachel's got some serious firepower."

  Fabio grumbled, watching the spectacle. "Just great. We're getting our asses kicked left and right."

  "By women, no less!" Delphina added with a cocky grin.

  The girls just grinned at the Traveler Bros's complaints.

  "You bet your butts," Rachel shot back.

  "Don't underestimate us just because we're girls," Alice added, her thread still at the ready.

  The Traveler Bros scowled, their confidence shaken.

  Luca gritted his teeth, still reeling from the hit. "Yeah, yeah, we get it. You girls are tough."

  Giovanni huffed, his frustration clear. "But don't think we're gonna go down easily."

  Giovanni and Luca charged at Alice, Rachel and Zalgo, but Delphina had other plans. She grabbed Rachel by the arm and charged at the two men, swinging Rachel like one would a hammer. Rachel's legs were hitting the men like freight trains with Delphina's strength behind each throw, landing a brutal combo that knocked both men around like pinballs in a machine.

  Giovanni and Luca were sent flying across the battlefield like ragdolls, grunting and groaning with each impact.

  Giovanni struggled to get up, his head spinning. "Damn it...how is she so strong?!"

  Luca grimaced, holding his bruised rib. "And how the hell is she throwing Rachel around like she weighs nothing?!”

  Delphina let out a hearty laugh, her arm muscles still taut. "What, did you both forget to do your arm day workout?"

  Giovanni groaned, rubbing his sore back. "Oh shut up..."

  Luca grumbled, wincing in pain. "Yeah, very funny.”

  Delphina just chuckled, her tail thrashing in amusement. "Hey, I'm just being honest. Maybe if you two had some actual muscle strength, you wouldn't be getting your asses kicked by a bunch of girls."

  Giovanni grunted, getting back on his feet. "Oh, shut it, shark girl. We're still in this fight."

  Luca nodded, standing up as well. "Yeah, we're not giving up yet."

  Fabio and Alfonso charged in next. Giovanni and Luca decided to rush in as well to take down the biggest threat of the opposition. Delphina sneered, tightening her grip on Rachel yet again as she knocked away each man with brutal swing after brutal swing. Rachel's legs may as well be weapons of mass destruction with how Delphina was ragdolling her with reckless abandon.

  "Ow! Ow! Slow down there, shark girl!" Rachel yelped between each throw. "You're gonna pull my arm out of its socket if you keep this up!”

  Delphina cackled, showing no mercy. "Oh, stop complaining! You're the one who volunteered to become a makeshift wrecking ball!”

  "Yeah, but I didn't think you'd use me as one!" Rachel protested, trying to keep her balance as she was flung around like a rag doll. "This is seriously messing up my hair!”

  "Oh, poor baby," Delphina mocked, swinging Rachel even harder. "I'm sure your hair looks just fine! Maybe a little windswept, but that's just extra style.”

  Rachel groaned in frustration, her hair flying wildly in every direction. "Windswept?! My hair looks like a bird's nest! I'm gonna need an entire bottle of conditioner after this! Not to mention how sore my legs are gonna be from hitting these guys this hard!”

  Delphina just laughed, unfazed by Rachel's complaints. "Oh, quit your whining, princess. You're a walking wrecking ball, not a hair model! And I guarantee you, your legs are the least of those guys' worries right now.”

  Rachel grumbled. "Yeah, yeah, I know. I'm a human wrecking ball apparently. But seriously, my legs are killing me. I'm gonna need a long soak in a hot tub after this to soothe these sore muscles.”

  Delphina snickered, enjoying Rachel's discomfort. "Oh, quit your bellyaching. You're a wrecking ball, remember? And honestly, a hot bath should be the least of your concerns. You're gonna need a whole damn spa day after this with how sore you're gonna be tomorrow."

  Delphina initiated her final combo on the Traveler Bros, the durability of Rachel's legs being put to the ultimate test as each impact hurt the men just as much as they were hurting her.

  The Traveler Bros groaned in pain, their bodies battered and bruised.

  "Damn...she's really giving us a beating," Giovanni grunted, holding his bloodied nose.

  Luca winced, trying to catch his breath. "Yeah...and she's not holding back at all…”

  Delphina chuckled darkly, relishing in the Traveler Bros's pain. "What can I say? I don't hold back, especially when it comes to kicking some ass. And it's not like you guys are giving me much of a challenge."

  Rachel groaned, her legs throbbing with pain. "Oh, for the love of... Can we take a break now? My legs feel like they're about to fall off!”

  Delphina smirked, finally setting Rachel down. "Alright, alright. These guys are all beat up now. Go take a quick breather."

  Rachel collapsed onto the ground, massaging her sore muscles. "Thank god...I don't think I can take any more of that. My poor legs are gonna be so bruised tomorrow..”

  Delphina chuckled, still feeling pumped from the fight. "You'll live, princess. And hey, at least you put on quite the show as my human wrecking ball."

  Rachel grumbled, trying to regain her composure. "Yeah, a human wrecking ball with a severe case of leg pain. Can't wait for the sore muscles tomorrow.”

  Delphina just laughed, clearly amused by Rachel's complaints. "Oh, quit your bitching. You're a tough kid, you'll survive. And if you need some TLC later, I know a trick or two."

  Rachel groaned, rolling her eyes. "Yeah, yeah, whatever. Just don't use me as a battering ram again, alright?”

  Delphina grinned, her tail flicking. "No promises. You made quite the impact as my human wrecking ball."

  Rachel rolled her eyes, massaging her sore legs again. Meanwhile, a bright flash of aura could be seen where the defeated Traveler Bros were all huddled together.

  "Hey, what the hell is that?!" Rachel exclaimed, pointing to the bright glow.

  Delphina turned her attention to the glowing light, her tail twitching in anticipation. "Looks like the Traveler Bros are up to something…”

  The glow intensified, growing larger and brighter by the second. Rachel, Delphina, Alice, and the rest quickly gathered and observed the spectacle.

  "I have a bad feeling about this..." Rachel muttered, her expression worried.

  "Yeah, same here," Alice chimed in, tensing up. "This better not be some kind of trick."

  Delphina grunted, her muscles coiled and ready to lunge. "Whatever it is, we need to be prepared for anything.”

  The glow continued to grow, now illuminating the entire surroundings. It was clear that something was about to happen.

  "Everyone stay on your guard!" Rachel shouted, her voice tinged with urgency. "Shit could get ugly real fast!”
