Chapter 602 ( Horde - II )

"In the slightest, this power can increase, even stability or reduce energy consumption, I still lack many improvements" - Cloud replied while frowning because this was an experimental weapon, after all, this [Railgun], was very different from the real version, in fact, this weapon was mostly based on Mikoto Misaka's ability from [To Aru Majutsu no Index].

Tio was silent as she shook her head because she felt that this guy was being too greedy, though in hindsight, this was better for her because the more powerful the blond, the higher the chances of getting her revenge.

"Hmm, I think I can strike twice before my weapon core overheats" - Cloud muttered as he watched the beasts seemed to have gathered to initiate a new attack - "Right on cue.... Fire!"

Cloud's [Railgun] again fired a powerful laser at its victims, creating a second explosion of equal proportions to the first.

The beasts were disoriented because they didn't know what was happening, only that when the sky lit up, many of them died without them being able to do anything about it.

The group was so focused on the chaos the blond was causing, that they did not notice how a silhouette entered the city from the opposite side. The person had a dark aura surrounding his body and was sweating because the offensive power of his former partner's weapon, was too broken for such a technologically backward world.

"It's impossible, he was the weakest of us all" - muttered Shimizu while watching everything from the roof of one of the nearby houses - "Am I wrong? No, it's impossible, I can't be wrong, my power makes me the real hero, Strife is just using cheap tricks to try to outdo me. Yeah, that's what happens, if I manage to destroy that thing, he'll be as useless as I remember."

A huge sadistic grin appeared on Shimizu's face as he squinted as he watched the blond being surrounded by three beautiful girls, but that wasn't what mattered, no, what he had felt in one of them, was what mattered in this situation.

"That black-haired woman, she has some of my mana in her aura, but it's impossible, I haven't used my abilities on any human" - Shimizu muttered as he started to think, only to notice the woman's ears - "She's not human? Then, she has to be a monster!"

Shimizu continued to think as a memory popped into his mind, the image of him controlling a certain dragon that had been sleeping - "Is she that dragon, by any chance? If so, that would explain why I lost control over her."

Slowly, a huge smile appeared on the boy's lips as he decided on his next plan of action. He just had to approach that black-haired woman and use his black magic to regain control because he could feel how far from being purified, she had just deactivated her ability, and he was ready to be able to activate it again.

"Perfect, with that thing under my control, I'll be able to kill Strife without much trouble because he's focused on those bugs" - muttered Shimizu as he climbed down from the roof and walked carefully towards the place where Cloud and the others were, not noticing how Tio's eyes were glowing slightly.

"He's close" - Tio muttered as a sadistic smile appeared on her face, after all, the bastard who had hurt her pride as a dragon, was close, and she could feel it thanks to the fact that she still kept the dark energy inside her, though this she did intentionally because it was the only way to detect her aggressor - "Get close enough so I can tear your body apart, you bastard."

She quickly shook her head and went back to watching the blond with interest, after all, he was ready to be able to perform a third attack.

The first attack had wiped out 25% of the horde, the second took out another 20%, leaving only a little more than the initial amount of beasts, and while there were still a lot of them, the numbers were now much more manageable.

"Fire!" - Cloud exclaimed as he fired a third shot, noticing how his weapon was getting hotter and hotter.

The laser again hit the beasts, causing even greater destruction as Cloud felt his power increase considerably with each shot.

"I find it so broken that I level up like this" - Cloud muttered as he shook his head.

Cloud was about to launch one last attack, when he felt something strange behind him, so he turned around, only to see how Tio was attacking him with his hands transformed into claws.

He quickly moved to the side as the girl shot out towards the wall, which she destroyed without much trouble.

"Cloud!" - Yue exclaimed in surprise - "Are you okay?"

"Yeah, I'm fine" - Cloud frowned when he saw this because despite the attack, he felt that there was something strange about Tio, but at the same time he could sense how the girl wasn't being controlled.

"What are you doing, Tio-san!" - Shea exclaimed angrily.

"That I can answer for myself" - said Shimizu as he appeared in front of the group with a small squad of monsters around him.

"Shimizu" - muttered Cloud as he narrowed his eyes - "I see you finally show up".

"And I see you're not surprised in the least, Strife" - Shimizu replied neutrally - "That always bothered me about you, it's like you know everything."

"I don't know everything, I just know, what I know" - Cloud replied with disdain as a small smile appeared on his lips - "I'm surprised though, what gave you the courage to appear in front of me, knowing that I have a weapon that can destroy you in seconds?"

"Because my little pet won't let you" - Shimizu answered as he watched Tio get up without much trouble, only with a cold expression on his face.

"You mean the perverted dragon?" - Cloud asked as he raised an eyebrow as he watched the dragon girl pause for a few seconds before darting off in his direction.

Cloud was about to send the girl flying, when he noticed how she gave him a signal with her gaze.

He quickly understood the situation, so he discreetly looked back and noticed how Shimizu was positioned at his back, so without thinking twice, he dodged to the side.

Shimizu was surprised at this sudden change of the situation, but he wasn't that scared because he knew that Tio wouldn't do anything to him, but his expression changed when he felt Tio's claws on his throat - "Ugh."

"I've been waiting for this" - Tio said with a cold expression on her face.

"I-Impossible" - Shimizu muttered in surprise and pain - "I was checking up on you!"

"Not in the least, I only pretended you were because I knew you were close" - Tio replied neutrally as she used more force in the grip - "You don't know how much I wanted to get you in my clutches because of the fucking shit you did to me."

"Wow, I've never seen anyone so angry" - Shea said with surprise.

"Pride is the most important thing for a dragon" - Yue replied as she raised an eyebrow and looked carefully at Cloud - "When your pride is hurt, well, you've earned yourself a cruel enemy"

Tio said nothing in response, she was just glaring at her prey with hatred as Shimizu squirmed from trying to breathe. Air was becoming scarce as he tried to command his monsters to save him.

The monsters quickly jumped up to do their job, but Tio waved her hand and destroyed them in seconds, showing what a huge difference there was in power level.

"Let's see, now what can I do with you" - Tio said while narrowing her eyes - "My pride as a dragon, tells me to give you a quick, but painful death, but my personal wish is to tear you apart slowly, but painfully. Which one do you think is better?"

Shimizu didn't answer, not because he didn't want to, but because it was impossible to do so due to lack of air - "Argh."

"Kill him quickly" - Cloud said with a frown - "Yue, Shea, finish with the monsters."

Yue was silent before nodding - "Ok"

"Uh" - Shea looked at Cloud, confused because she didn't understand what he was trying to do.

"Shea, come on" - Yue said with a small smile.

Shea nodded weakly as she ran after her partner.

"You don't want them to see me kill this bastard?" - Tio asked with surprise.

"It's not that, they've already seen death in the eyes, theirs and others" - Cloud replied as he shook his head - "I just don't want them to see someone from my past die because it's possible they'll relate it to my current life."

"I don't understand, but it doesn't matter" - Tio replied as she grabbed Shimizu's head and ripped it off with utmost ease.

Blood spurted out as it covered Tio's body, who was as if nothing had happened.

"Cloud shook his head as he looked at the decapitated body of the once acquaintance of his - "Rest in peace".
