Inside the Curtain (3)
< Intuition >
As Rangga uses the skill, he immediately realizes that Yukino is under attack since the skill enables him to see some clues that tell him where she goes.
"( I need to go fast since this skill only lasts for 45 minutes and the cooldown is 1 hour. )"
When he does that, he immediately rushes toward Yukino that was meters away from him as he then flies there with his usual wings in order to get there fast.
" It seems that she's not gonna make it, isn't she? " Rangga asks.
" I think so ... " Rangga 101 tells him as his soul comes out from the System Space.
" After all, even though she is cold-hearted ... "
" Ya know for sure that 'our' wife or ya'r future wife is as hot as hell when she loses her shit ... " Rangga 101 says as he then warns Rangga to do not underestimate the female Chimera that is attacking Yukino now since she's.
" I know .... "
" She's actually Thorndamn's descendant, isn't she? " Rangga says as he immediately knew who Horda is after looking at her horn as he gets near to their location.
( At the same time.)
Yukino is fighting Horda as she was attacking her with her horn as she manages to retract it back before Yukino even manages to freeze it.
" Damn !!!! " Yukino says as she fails to freeze Horda's main weapon.
" Just how retractable is it? " she asked as she sees Horda retracting her horn into its normal size.
" Ahahahahaha ... "
" Are you tired now, girl? " Horda asks.
" NO....!!!! " Yukino says as she uses her ability which is.
" Be Murdered .... "
"
As Yukino unleashes the arrow of deadly cold ice, the arrow then hits Horda as it freezes Horda into a block of ice, covering her whole body which shocks Yukino as she wonders how it happens since she thought that the arrow should only manage to just freeze her head as she then sees that a person with a black armor is coming to her as he then lands in front of her.
" Are you alright? " Rangga says as he still wears his mask in front of her.
" Oh ... yes ... "
"( Who is he ...? )" Yukino wonders as Rangga then turns his back on her and then looks at Horda.
"( Level 83 huh...? ) " Rangga asks as he thinks that she may not be his threat right now as he is now at level 88.
"( I think I know why the Twelve Eyes shows me that she is physically stronger than Arbyss that I left earlier. )" Rangga says.
"( As expected from the bulking Thorndamn's descendant. )" Rangga says as he then calls Thorndamn inside the System Space as he shows him his descendant in front of him right now which makes Thorndamn confused as he seems to never mate with a female Deviant or Demonic Monster before.
"( How is that possible? I thought I was a virgin even before my quick death in this Timeline ... )"Thorndamn thinks to himself as he then asks Rangga to kill her and acquire her soul for more inspection as he needs to know more about this.
"( Really .. kill her? )" Rangga asks.
"( She's your descendant right? just look at her... )"
"( Yes she is ... )"
"( So why do you want me to kill her? )" Rangga asks Thorndamn in his confusion.
"( Don't you get it? )" Thorndamn asks him back.
"( You know that your primary ability is to acquire souls from the being that you killed right? )" Thorndamn asks as Rangga agrees.
"( So you know that we Deviants can also identify our kind not only just from their auras and smells, but also from their souls as well. )" Thorndamn says to Rangga to do what he says as Rangga then prepares his Saw Sword as Horda frees out from her freezing slumber.
" HOW DARE YOU !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!????? " Horda says as she remembers the minutes before she was completely frozen as she remembered that before Yukino's arrow manages to get her, suddenly .. her body is suddenly covered in water which increases the freezing effect thanks to the elemental reaction.
" How dare you interfere with my hunt !!!!!!!!!!!!!??? " Horda was so angry as she then points her index finger at Rangga as she then curses him for being rude.
" Do you know who I am? ... "
" I am Horda, Descendant of the Deviant and the wife of the first sentient monster Arbyss ...!!!!! " she says as Rangga then interrupts.
" Oh, so you're really his wife ... "
" Victor Crimson A.K.A Arbyss's wife...? " Rangga asks as he then tells her that her husband is weak as he already dealt with him.
Hearing that, Horda is furious as she denies the fact and then decides to attack Rangga but then her attack was blocked by his < Thorn Horn Tusk Shield > as it gives her DMG.
< Horda HP -29.100.000 >
" GGGGGGAAAARRRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! " Horda screams in pain, as the damage was inflicted back on her.
As she screams, blood comes out of her mouth telling her that the returned damage really affects her Rangga then sees that the returned attack also gives her a bonus Bleeding Effect.
"( I see ..., so she's not that prepared to face this kind of attack... )" Rangga thinks to himself as he realizes that Horda uses her Deviant power and Mana to only enhance her physique, not to enhance her magical prowess unlike her husband, Arbyss.
As Rangga manages to pin her, Rangga then changes the shield into the Saw Sword where he then stabs her in the chest with his other sword skill
"( What is he ...? )" Yukino says as the fear ruins her cold behavior which rarely happens in her life.
After Rangga stabbed Horda, she then looks at Rangga one last time as she kinda realizes that something is inside the sword that stabs her as she realizes that the being inside has the same kind of aura as she then hears something.
" Horda ... was it? " a voice calls her name.
" Who ... ? " Horda asks as she then sees a giant Horned being in front of her.
" Who ... who are you ..? " she says in fear but also fears calm at the same time as she somehow felt a relationship with this being.
As the two beings met, the Horned Being introduced himself as Thorndam to Horda as he then explains many things to her which shocks her, and cried as she then burst out and tell everything to her 'ancestor' that she finally met in her life.
" I'm sorry, ancestor ... "
" I didn't know that I was currently fighting your master .... "
" I mean it, I didn't know ... " she says while crying as she tells Thorndamn that she also become Arbyss's wife since he manages to save her after coming here through an abnormal portal as the portal instantly pulls her from the ground and transport her to this very place as she then appears in front of humans with drills as they then attack her with their so-called Meta abilities.
As she explains how she got here, she then tells that at that moment, Arbyss saves her as he helped her to adapt to this very face and then turns her into this humanoid form as he now looked as she was now and also reveals some things about Arbyss that she manages to know before she dies.
" I see .... so Arbyss is his familiar ... " Thorndamn says as Horda's moment for life has passed and it is time for her soul to be released from her body.
As it happens, Thorndamn looks at Rangga and asks to acquire it which Rangga agrees but suddenly.
" Okay then .. "
"

< Failed to acquire the Subject's Soul .. >
As the System says that, both Rangga and Thorndamn were shocked as they then ask how is it possible and asked the System why the System can't do it the System then says that there is no possible and logical answer for now which shocks both of them especially Thorndamn as he sees his descendant's soul dissipating in the air while he tries to grab it but the soul then fades which angers him as his anger also affects Rangga, making him feel his hatred.
< Hatred +10.000 >
" Grrhhh ... " Rangga growls while Yukino behind him wonders what is happening.
" What's going on? isn't she already dead? ... "
" Didn't he defeat her? " Yukino wonders as she was very clueless about the recent event.
