Re Istode : Things that kitsune girl do in another world

Swuss!

Sounds and strong gusts of winds were created every Time the Sky Pirates Captain, Tarni swung his Great Sword.

Those attacks were so terrifying especially when he used them with the intention to kill me!

I had a little trouble dodging his attacks because my body was suppressed by the strong killing intent he emitted.

My entire mind focused on moving my stiff body, dodging all of his Great Sword swings, and remembering his attack patterns.

I don't want this fight! 

But it seems, I can't say no to this.

So, I have or been forced to do it.

I have to kill the man.

I want to live after all.

Then again, I was sad that no one from my side or allies trying to help me. And I am happy when I know that the Sky Pirates have no interest to interfere in our fight.

I am alone in front of this danger.

Ruciel?

The girl was preoccupied with five or six Sky Pirates who tried to capture her.

I hope she is okay. 

"What's the problem? Why do you keep evading?" He asked in a condescending and scornful tone.

I'm not angry about getting that provocation because there is something more important that needs my attention.

I have to dodge his attacks. 

I can not do anything else besides that because fending off the man's attacks directly numbed my hands. Launch attacks recklessly without knowing his strength will get me killed silly. Moreover, my Silver Spear was not equal in durability and strength to his Great Sword.

Silver Spear got a deep cut mark after I fended off his first attack. And it could be said, my spear was half broken into two.

Yes, I know, this spear won't last long.

Swuss!

"That's so close!" I shouted then kicked the deck to keep my distance from him by jumping backward.

"Don't run! Fight me!"

Tarni approached me then attacked me again with his Great Sword. On the other hand, I moved back my body to dodge the dangers he brings to snatch my life.

"Damn it! Don't mess around! [Hurricane]"

A small tornado made of sharp wind came quickly to grind my body. And yes, I need a defense to save myself. That's why...

"[Breath of Nature]"

I used Plant Spell to create a wall of trees in front of me. A small tornado destroyed the trees and the trees managed to protect me.

That's right, Breath of Nature is a Spell that allows me to grow trees and control them as they grow. 

The number of trees, the types of trees, where I grow them, and how I control them can be done as I please. 

However, the more, the bigger, and how detailed I control the trees will drain my Mana in big quantities.

If I use my entire Mana to use this Spell, I can create a twenty square meters wide forest with each tree in it having a diameter of fifty centimeters.

For the record, this Spell requires me to use it in a place that has natural elements or soil. I can't use it in places made of thick stone or iron.

This was a powerful Spell even with its flaws.

Now, back to the fight against Tarni.

Time passed and...

I've remembered some of the attack patterns that become the habit of this man. From few Arte he shows me, I guess that his Great Sword Mastery is at level five. Lastly, this man couldn't seem to use magic because he didn't once show any signs that he was using Spells.

So okay, it's time for me to give him counterattacks. My resolve made my fox ears twitch and I gathered my Mana in my mouth.

"[Fire Breath]"

Bwosh!

"The hell!"

Like a flamethrower, fire came out of my mouth. I used the fire to burn Tarni. And yes, he tried to run but I chased him.

I believed this Skill could give the man serious wounds but I was wrong.

"[Blue Devil Aura]"

He survived my flames then extinguished them using a blue aura that enveloped his body. It's an Arte from Unarmed Combat Mastery.

Of course, he didn't stop there.

"[Giant Swing]"

He made a wide horizontal swing using his Great Sword which was coated by blue light that solidified. The light makes his weapon longer than it should have been.

The attack killed three people who were too close to us.

And those man distance was five meters from us!

The attack was ridiculous!

Me?

I dodged the attack by squatting.

After the danger passed, I kicked the deck to get close to Tarni quickly. I filled my arm with energy and then launched an Arte.

"[Flash Swings]"

Clang! Clang!

Our weapons exchanged hits. And thanks to that, my spear became a little curved.

Ugh! This isn't a good sign.

And true to my guess, dozen seconds later, my Silver Spears ended up broken in two. The episode made me unsheathe the Silver Longsword quickly as I can.

"Ha ha ha, you're over now!" The man laughed happily.

He made me annoyed. Because of that, I threw my spear at him. But, he managed to fend it off.

In the end, my spear killed a random Sky Pirates.

"You can't do anything and you will die." The man smiled then dashed to me with incredible speed.

Unfortunately, he was wrong about I can't do anything. Although I was no longer able to use my main fighting style, I still have Sword Mastery, Magic Skills, and some Attack Skills.

I didn't run out of my ace.

Tarni swung her Great Sword while I...

"[Wind Cannon]"

I used a Spell and I managed to throw the guy away for a few meters. He underestimated me and he become careless.

He gave me a furious expression when he stand up. Then... he approached me quickly again. I attack him using other Spells but...

"[Water Shoot]"

Splash! Splash!

Unfortunately, the water bullets I shot couldn't penetrate his Armor which was coated by a blue aura.

"Ear this! [Brutal Severance]!" Shouting Tarni when he managed to shorten our distance.

The red light-coated Great Sword came quickly to cut my body into pieces.

Yes, I used all of my capabilities to dodge the attacks and my sword to parry a few of them.

I succeeded! I managed to keep myself to get serious injuries but I still got minor injuries!

This makes me annoyed and more frustrated.

The man was stronger than me!

I don't like the fact.

Blood flowed profusely from my wounds but it wouldn't be a problem. I can still move well with Pain Resistance and my HP will return to full at a fast pace due to Nature Vitality.

Of course, I didn't stay still. A moment after I dodged the attacks, I launched counterattacks in the form of a stab and Arte.

I tried to hurt the man, drain his HP by exploiting the gaps between the Armor he was wearing but I didn't make it.

The man used the flat side of his Great Sword as a shield. He blocked my attack well. And that blue aura turned out to be tougher than I expected.

I can't penetrate his defense, I can't give him serious wounds or even drain his HP.

However, I didn't give up.

"[Breath of Nature]"

A tree grew from the wooden deck instantly to tie Tarni's right leg, making him stop in place.

"Huh?"

"[Slash of Madness]"

My Silver Sword which was enveloped in deep red light became a flash of bright lines.

With this Arte, I intend to cut off the man's right arm and neck. I thought that this Arte would work but the reality wasn't kind.

"[Swings of Destruction]"

Tarni defended himself by using the Grand Arte obtained from level seven Great Sword Mastery. His violent swings of Great Sword countered my attacks.

I made a mistake in measuring his strength and now I got the consequences of that mistake.

Clang! Splat!

Silver Longsword left my arm and a deep wound adorned my right thigh. I lost my balance and then fell into the deck because of my weak legs.

"Finally!" He said with happiness in his voice. "You're strong you know—"

"[Wind Cannon]"

Bwosh!

I wish the Spell could fly him away but...

"That's dangerous," he said shortly after he dodged. "We'll talk after I cut off all your arms and legs."

As soon as that words finished being spoken, I saw his Great Sword coming to me quickly. I realized I couldn't avoid the attack by rolling over or using Spell considering our close distance.

I was prepared to take the attack but...

Bang! Bang! 

The sound of light explosions like gunfire was heard. A moment later, Tarni's attack shifted.

His Great Sword passed beside me and hit the deck.

"Bastard!" He shouted and looked in the other direction in search of the one who attack him.

He was distracted and this was my chance.

"[Breath of Nature]" 

I tied the man's legs with a few trees and then I rolled away from him as soon as possible and as far as possible.

"Don't run! Get back-'

Bang! Bang!

Tarni shouted but the sound of gunfire cut through his speech. He was being forced to defend himself, maybe.

When I saw the man after I stop fleeing, I saw brown gemstones covering his legs and the trees I grow.

A moment later...

Thud!

A girl landed in front of me.

"Just in time!" She shouted in a voice that showed happiness and pride.

Yes, the girl's holding a gun, a Magi Firearm. I guess, this golden-haired girl who is wearing a dark brown outfit was my savior.

The assumption became true when the girl who was looking at me with her red eyes said, "heal yourself lovely girl, I will kill that man for you!"

After that, the girl rushed to approach Tarni. 

Before she ran, she leave two things for me.

The first was a bottle of Potion.

The second is curiosity. 

Why is she wearing such a scary masker? I asked in my heart as I drank the Potion given by the girl.

Bang! Bang!

"Little bitch! [Swings of Destruction]!"

"Too slow!"

Bang! Bang!

The commotion caught my attention.

There, the girl who had just saved me was toying with Tarni, a man who was trying to cut up her body with Grand Arte.

And yes, I never did I thought, that girl could handle the man so easily. 

The girl stopped the man's movements by continuously covering his body with brown gemstones. 

Is that the effect of her bullets?

Well… anyway, dozen seconds later, Tarni's entire body except for his head was covered by brown gemstones. The girl approached the man and Bang!

She killed the man with a shoot in the head.
