Chapter 16: Defend

~Albus POV~

*BANG*

Using my six-shooter revolver with the power of my Cursed Energy channeling it began to shoot more Grimm down as each shot to the head seems to kill them.

Fair enough I paid my fair share of misses at them since I haven't got used to this sidearm.

"Roar!"

*Swoosh*

*BAM*

"Arck!"

Suddenly reacting with enough time as one of the Grimm came charging towards me I raised my fist reinforced with my Mana straight through the Grimm's head and forced it off in the distance as I continue to shoot more of them.

*Bang*

Double-tap baby.

Going around and using Cursed Restoration on my weapon of my six-shooter as I began to move around with my heart enticed with fear but also excitement seeing Grimm die like this as they turn to dust.

Moving around I try to see how I can help myself in this situation.

"ROAR!!"

Another started coming over as I saw the shape of the beast was something close to a bear with bones showing to its back as it began to rush towards me as I predicted the actions using my Ultimate Eye to dodge any incoming danger in time.

Maneuvering around I began to use my right arm for deconstruction on the bear's head as I began to deconstruct it's head as had an affect of the beast.

"Roar…"

What! Despite the damage and missing portions of the head it still moved on active – right I forgot these things are in a sense immortal and glancing at this behemoth…

That is an alpha, Grimm.

Uh oh.

I'm in danger.

*SWOOSH*

"ACK!"

Coughing up blood from my mouth as I felt the damn bear strike me with enough force to throw me into a couple of buildings as I felt the force of the houses breaking my bones to paste as I used Cursed Restoration.

Fuck!

That hurt like hell and – Ow!

I felt the bones setting themselves back in place again after that feeling the pain but it wasn't as bad as I felt when I gained the Ultimate Eye.

Still, they both hurt like a bitch tearing off my skin only to add salt over it and heal by covering it up completely.

Standing back up again I see that the Grimm bear continued to chase me as I smirked beginning to use the Philosopher Stone on the wall of the building with my left hand on it as I activated the reconstruction of my alchemy using the stone power

*ZZZ*

"ROAR!"

Red sparks emanated from the Stone as it began to create what I wanted with the intent needed behind it.

The Grimm bear roared harshly at me as it ran straight into a stone spike made out of alchemy I see it stab the damn bear in the chest piercing through enough damage to go poof finally killing it off in the process.

Fuck that was hard and…

Glancing around the store my eyes widen a bit as I happen to land myself inside the building of a weapons store turning around with some of the weapons around.

Blinking at this I couldn't help myself as I needed a better weapon than my wooden sword, "Well… I guess there is a time and place for everything but this here is a golden opportunity to get a good blade and more."

I mean there is no one around might as well take a good katana using my Ultimate Eye to see which one's good.

/////

*ZZZ*

Using my Alchemy of deconstruction again on the Grimm killing off a weaker version as I ran rampant of Grimm in my way helping and looting any dead bodies nearby the vicinity of the situation.

Man got to need money to live and survive and what better way than looking through the dead as everything is lost in the madness of the Grimm attacking.

Of course, not while anyone was looking mind you but…

"ROAR!"

*SWOOSH*

Swinging my new katana blade at the Grimm enhanced with my Cursed Energy it was cut down but not without effort on my part as I breathed heavily, "Huff… huff… Fuck. Mana is good for enhancing the body. But it's jack shit when I channel it to things outside my body without some help."

Help.

Yeah…

Sadly, though I don't have much to go off on teachers teaching me how to properly use the other energies I have especially with my Alchemy sure.

If I can just create a weapon, I would've done so without even needing to pay for one but I also need to understand a few things about creating a weapon and how cleanly I need it to be reconstructed.

Those take the time I can't have at the moment with my current situation.

At best I can only reconstruct objects that I'm familiar with like chairs, beds, or quirk repairs but I don't have that much talent for doing so since I'm stuck with the basics first with only reconstructing and deconstructing for the time being.

"Quick brother defend!"

"AH, MY ARM!"

"DAMN IT!"

"MORE GRIMM DEFEND WHITE FANG!"

That was when I noticed the White Fang members fighting off the Grimm the same one I met with the Ghira group as they are being slaughtered but barely alive I saw one coming towards Ilia from behind.

Raising my gun and aiming it carefully I yelled at Ilia and shoot.

"Quick duck!"

*BANG*

Hearing my voice and seeing my action she hesitated but clearly enough to dodge to notice the Grimm going down as I rush towards to help them out getting out my katana reinforcing it with Cursed Energy as I ran towards them.

*Slack*

*Slash*

Hacking and slashing at the remaining Grimm surrounding members of the White Fang members I rotated around to keep my surroundings clean and moved horizontally to avoid narrow attacks as I took some damage as seen from the blood.

And this was a clean and only shirt too.

As I finally came to the group I managed to get to help out the people who helped me as I used Cursed Restoration to restore the members down Ilia replied to me in shock, "Wait you are… Thanks… Human… Didn't notice the Grimm from behind – you're bleeding."

Noticing the wounds I did Cursed Restoration on myself but I'm feeling that my Cursed Energy is almost tapped out as I have been using it too much.

Having been cut apart slam through walls it was bound to happen.

That and weak stamina doesn't help my case.

But responding to her words I replied as I restored the grunts showing surprise on them, "Yeah. Didn't come here without some wounds. You all should be healed up."

"Whoa."

"Thanks, man."

"Thought I was going to die."

"Human thanks."

"Human thanks for the save."

"My arm is attached thank you…"

Hearing words of help Ilia looked surprised at me healing them up as I hear her speak, "No way. That's a very useful Semblance to have."

Shit!

I reveled my Cursed Energy in the moment!

Got way too caught up in the moment...

And some blood loss to blame as well.

Well…

Fuck I bet they will be too tired to focus on that detail but for now, I saw more Grimm coming our way as I ready my revolver as I spoke to them, "As I would like to thank a cute girl thanking me in this situation. How about we deal with the Grimm first ladies?"

"Grr…"

The mention of Grimm that seems to get them out of their stupor as I began to take this moment to practice my breathing in a situation as dire as this out.

Man, I really am crazy to try to use this situation to train myself in breathing arts.

Insane yup that about sums it right.

With this, I can finally begin to practice the martial art techniques the first being to learn the ability of Breathing of Demon Slayer and Hamon/Ripple of Jojo Bizarre Adventure.

Oh, learning those two combined will make wonders for me to do.

And I know just the Breathing Style I would go for the Sun Breathing Style for the most possible means of going all out without any rest exhaustion whatsoever and adding Hamon would make a good conductor for the blade.

Just the possibilities are within my reach…

But all of that will be worthless if I can't even do the basics and fend for myself as well as work hard.

Now time to fight like my life depends on it!

/////

*Swoosh*

Avoiding a strike to the head using my Mana to reinforce my body I can feel the weariness of everything coming down as a few of the Grunt Members are tired as well holding them off while I keep Ilia back off the Grimm with my Katana.

Even then I have clear limits of how things will go down.

Huff…

I can even feel the labored breaths of mine being tiring in this situation just trying to keep the remaining strength I have in me.

"ROAR!!"

Shit!

*Zzz*

Using my Ultimate Eye and avoiding the attack of the Grimm I used the Alchemy of my right arm placing it on it's head and began to activate deconstructing it completely as it began to get to poof.

As I was busy dealing with Grimm Ilia had the guts to talk as she says in labored breathing, "Huff… Human… huff… thanks for the help… huff… but how did you do… that…. And… all of that sparking stuff…"

Getting a bit annoyed at this I began to reply to but stopped thinking of another answer to say to her before shaking no to her entirely because I have literally something else to be worried about right now.

Not that I would reply but frankly being this weak I need help against a whole hoard or wave of Grimm that risking my abilities is good enough for the chance favor of getting in good graces with the White Fang organization.

Heavily replying back to her as I shifted my head over glancing at the grunts, "Huff… huff… how about over dinner."

Glaring at me hatefully at that remark I gave a wagging finger at her at the literal threat coming for the group, "Oh don't get hateful on me now. That will attract the Grimm. Just some small talk… to avoid the fear… no?"

"Tch."

Laughing a bit on the situation I was really honest as I liked the sense of teasing maybe after this whole attack on Grimm debacle.

Where is Eren Yeager when you need a genocide run?

No, wait that's an Undertale reference.
