Chapter 19; Confrontation with Ménera

_ hey, little one, would you like to play with me?!

Natsa << no sorry! >>

_ oohh, don't be so modest, you know we can be very good friends!!

Natsa << get out of there! >> I tell him with a cold look.

_ hahaha, this little one is threatening me, so I'll take that as a yes, so you want to play with m.....!!

Before he finished his sentence, he took a huge kick from me on the cheek which threw him several meters and immediately caused chaos when he smashed a wall.

Everyone's attention is on me because it was pretty violent stuff.

I climb on the bartender's table and scream

Natsa << Hey, for your attention everyone, you came here to do your stupid things so remember that not everyone would like to be part of it, is that clear?!! >>

The bartender << my little one, I think you signed your death! >>

_ but who does this kid think he is?

_ message received small, you are going to get taken down!!!

I had attracted all the attention towards me, there were people pulling out weapons from both sides to do battle with me. Very well I'm going to kill them all, one moment will be more than enough to kill them all.

_ stop!!!!

Natsa << eh?! >>

There was a tall, muscular man with tattoos all over his body who had just shouted stop, this man is rather imposing, I even wonder if he is really human. Anyway, he moved slightly towards me and then stopped.

In his virile man's voice he said

_ So it's you, natsa Desgodor!!

Natsa << eh?!! >>

_ So it's you, natsa Desgodor!!

Natsa << eh?!! >>

_ welcome, to the HQ of the NSDR underlings, I am the great Mirius, the most powerful of this underling HQ, I see that you have enormous confidence in yourself to stand against us all!

Natsa << at the same time no need to have too much confidence in me, you are clearly too weak for me! >> I tell him frankly.

Mirius << hum...in fact, I still have years of combat experience, and I can see that you are telling the truth, however we NSDR like risks, even if facing you would lead us to certain death , we will still try our luck and always! >>

Natsa << oh, then come closer so I can massacre you! >>

Mirius gave a stuck smile.

Mirius << No, ultimately we weren't going to face you, we have someone to introduce to you, she will be your opponent! >>

Frowns*

Natsa << ah well, introduce me to my opponent then, but even after facing him I would kill you all, that's for sure! >>

Mirius nodded

Mirius << Menara is approaching, it's your time to shine! >>

He said raising his hands, everyone around began to tremble in fear and bow down. A magic circle appeared around Mirius and a reddish aura came out. Mirius seemed not to be afraid of this presence.

A girl appears from the magic circle. A little girl who seems pretty normal.

Mirius snapped his fingers and we teleported away from their underling HQ, we were in a vast open space.

Mirius << Menera, have no mercy devour him!!! >>

The little girl named Ménera stares at me shyly, should I stay on my guard? No, she can't hurt me.

Then, Menera's eyes began to redden enormously, a smile worthy of a demon tore her mouth leaving a huge opening in her jaw, just with that, I understood that she was nothing like a human.

Ménera << aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh !!!!!!! >> A howl that sent shivers down your spine, the NSDR minions covered their ears, it was real torture for them, some of them were bleeding from their eyes, ears, noses and mouths , and the most unlucky ones went crazy, this cry is a catastrophe.

Menera jumps towards me and attacks me. More than 3 meters from us, she attacks by extending her hands, which surprises me because I wasn't expecting it in the least, I nevertheless dodge without difficulty but mysteriously my nose was bleeding.

Natsa << how?! >>

I'm sure she didn't touch me, but so what?!

She attacks a second time, she extends her limbs again to prevent me from escaping, but I succeed without difficulty and I move away from her more than 17 meters away, then I look at myself again and I notices horrible redness on my body, my blood keeps flowing from my eyes, my nose and my mouth, what could be going on?

Ménera << hihihi!!! >> She was laughing from where she was.

But what did she do to me, I dodge all her attacks without difficulty!

Ménera is still moving slowly from where she was, Ménera seems not to be a common being, I don't know what she is but she is far from being human.

There's something that still bothers me, it's been a while now I'm bleeding but I'm not healing, my regeneration skill doesn't work, it's a big problem because the damage accumulates again and again, the pain doesn't matter I can tolerate it well but the problem is that the limbs seem to be destroyed, and become very complicated to use.

Mirius<< haha, kid, you didn't expect to face a being like Menera, did you? You clearly have no chance against her so what are you going to do? >>

What do I plan to do?

Mouse*

Natsa << I plan to kill you of course!! >>

Mirius<< that's not the impression you're giving right now!! >>

Natsa << well, I didn't want to unbalance this fight but too bad, *Sensorium Nebula* >>

A huge magic circle appears above Ménera and completely illuminates her, the information contained in Ménera's consciousness becomes completely blurred, she had the impression of seeing me everywhere, she even saw the members of the NSDR as me, the expression on her face changes completely, I induced in her logic that she was able to see everyone in my image, and I added the fact that she cannot see the me that I am, as well she is able to see everyone except me. Good luck Mirius the Braggart in facing Menera now.

Mirius << Menera, what is happening to you? >>

Menera shakes her head and a mass of aura unleashes from her body.

Natsa << eh!! >>

Ménera << aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh!!!! >>

Another shout from Ménera, there was too much Decibel, the last survivors of the NSDR succumbed and died immediately except Mirius who seemed tenacious.

Blood comes out of Menera's eyes.

Natsa << what's going on again? >>

Silence*

Ménera looks in my direction, don't tell me she got out of my grip?!

Will lead cort towards me, it's clear, she is no longer under the effect of my technique.

I arrange my legs, putting one foot in front of the other and with one step, I was able to hit Ménera, she was overtaken and could not dodge my kick. She projects herself violently. But something strange is happening to me, the leg I used to hit Ménera is instantly decomposing. I don't really understand what's so special about Ménera. Ménera gets back up and comes back towards me, despite my leg rotting, I once again took Ménera in speed and this time I hit him several times before tearing his head off with a sharp blow.

Menera's head flutters and lands in the tall grass. I on the other hand, could see that the damage on me had gotten worse, my body being soiled, decomposed and slimy.

Natsa << Hum...! >>

Don't think that Ménera is taking the advantage, no, I'm just studying it a little more. Let's go around again, dodging Ménera's attacks was not enough to spare me because my skin and my internal organs were affected, and touching Ménera is accepting to be decomposed, the more I touched him the more my body is decomposed, a normal being or else would already be dead, because what is decomposed is dead, but with me it would take more than that.

Natsa << Ménera, you're gifted!! >>

Menera gets up, and seemed to be looking for her head, she went towards the tall grass and found her head which she picked up on the ground, all this gives me an idea, let's see the effects of the ranged attacks on Menera.

Menera was about to put her head back when a ball of energy that I projected towards her obliterated her head completely without leaving anything, Menera's head had exploded.

I wait a few seconds... Well, nothing happens, apparently ranged attacks are the only ones that can prevent the strange effects caused by Menera.

The headless body of Menera formed a mass of flesh, the spectacle was disgusting. The muscles gather on Menera's neck and move in all directions, making a strange noise. Then a head formed again and Menera had a head again. Not bad regeneration.

Natsa << Good Ménera played, "Penghapusan"!!! >>

After saying it, Menera's body slowly fades away.

Mirius smiled, I could understand that it wasn't good.

Mirius << it is not by annihilating the existence of Menera that you will be able to get rid of her!! >>

I knew it didn't smell good.

Mirius "The very existence of Menera is linked to rage, the rage to defeat, to destroy, all who are there, as long as rage exists in the saint of creation, Menera will continue to exist and still t' haven't seen anything!! >>

I think I'm going to kill this guy!

Menera's body seems to be regenerating.... But from nothing, should I end it now?

Ménera smiled, strange, she doesn't speak, she is speechless, where did the NSDR find this girl? I think it's a spirit!!

Menera is heading towards me, what would it feel like to get hit head-on by Menera?

Menera is about to strike me, when suddenly her limbs all mysteriously fall, then a sharp ray pierces her stomach and pushes her away from me.

Natsa << um...?! >> A girl appears behind me with black clothes, white hair and blue eyes.

She had pale white skin, and seemed soft at the same time.

_ are you sick or something, if you take a direct hit from this creature you will lose your life immediately!!

Natsa << Who are you? >>

_ whatever, all I know is that I have to save Ménera!!

Natsa << save her? >>

_ I wasn't clear? Ménera is a human whose existence is guided by rage, this affected her soul and her spirit, she was then cruelly killed by the NSDR then her spirit was collected and her soul deceived, the soul is the real remote guide de Ménera.... Finally, if you think you can kill her it's not going to be very easy, just look at your condition, I'm surprised that you're still alive!

Natsa << oh, my condition is nothing, I was checking how it works! >>

_ do you want explanations?

Natsa << of course!! >>

_ You are already very screwed because the after-effects caused by Ménera never, ever heal, the simple fact of feeling her presence corrodes the flesh, and when she approaches you, she will not need to touch you because no longer it comes closer to you, the more irreparable damage you receive!

Natsa<< what if I used my regeneration skill to heal? >>

_ I said no healing was possible, your skill simply died the moment you encountered him, even an accelerated regeneration skill is not going to change your case!!

This little girl doesn't know who she is, poor thing.

I gathered a lot of blue aura around my body and it became intact again, as if I had never been injured.

The little girl opened her eyes wide and her mouth slightly, she was not able to understand how I was able to regenerate despite the effects of Menera.

_ How did you do ? Who are you ?

Natsa << I asked you the same question earlier and you answered no matter...>>

She blushes and replies

_ well too bad, I don't need to know who you are anyway!!

Natsa<< sooner or later, I will end up knowing who you are! >>

_ What a charming man, now let me take care of Menera, will you?!

Natsa << I don't know if I should really let you do that! >>

_ No but.... Anyway, I don't need your approval!

Natsa << What an insolent little girl, it's only in Marlha that I see strange cases! >>

_ huh.. so you're not from Marlha?

Mirius<< shut up, do you think this is a playground? >> Said Mirius completely annoyed.

The girl looks at me and says.

_ I take care of Menera and you take care of Mirius, do you want?

Natsa << do you really think you can handle Ménera? >>

She gives me an expressionless look then throws herself at Ménera to fight.

Natsa << Can't even answer me... Well Mirius, it seems that I'm the one who's going to teach you good manners! >>

Mirius<< I don't know how you regenerated but whatever, that doesn't stop me from... >>

Before he finished his sentence, I punched him hard in the stomach which pushed him far back.

He still managed to maintain control and planted his legs in the ground to hold himself and not move back.

Once stopped, he holds his stomach and spits blood.

Mirius<< What... What did you do to me! >>

Natsa << nothing in particular, I just hit you on the stomach, sorry that you are so fragile, I could feel your internal organs burst in contact with my blow... >>

Mirius<< hihi... I feel like this isn't going to be an ideal fight for me, but it seems like I can't back down! >>

Mirius opens his palm and creates a sword.

Mirius<< aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh!!! >>

He suddenly starts screaming, and his bleeding suddenly stops.

Mirius looks at me, smiles then says

Mirius<< the regeneration ability is basic in the NSDR, if you thought you were going to be proud just because you master it and know that you don't impress the worst person in the sect, come on! >>

If I understand correctly, he regenerated his internal organs, that's it....

Mirius attacks me with his sword which suddenly lights up.

He knocks in my direction.

Mirius<< dies!!!!! >>

His sword, about to cut me, is seized with disconcerting ease by my hand.

Mirius<< how...?! >>

With one push, I break the sword into a thousand pieces before hitting Mirius again.

He fell to the ground violently and rolled several times on the ground.

Natsa << is it me or has your skin become harder? >>

Mirius stands up and laughs.

Mirius<< hahaha, that's the case, my body has the gift of solidifying itself depending on my opponent, the stronger it is, the tougher my body is! >>

Natsa << is it also an NSDR thing? >>

Mirius<< indeed, if I were you I wouldn't look for any more trouble! >>

Natsa << Why, yet you are all inferior to me! >>

Mirius frowns and attacks me again by creating two luminous swords, he attacks relentlessly, but too bad for him, I manage to dodge his attacks without difficulty.

Mirius<< splitting!!! >>

It splits and now I'm being attacked by two Mirius, with 4 light swords...

Which I still manage to dodge with great ease.

Mirius<< but it's impossible!!!! >>

Natsa << ah, you think, I'm going to show you something really impossible!! >>

I stop dodging and take the 4 light swords head-on.

These, upon contact with my body, suddenly explode.

The two nervous Miriuses jump back.

Mirius << how can my luminous swords not manage to hurt you, it's not possible, they are spiritual blades which directly cut the soul and destroy it!!! >>

Natsa << that's all very pretty, but how can it work on an individual who has no soul? >>

Mirius<< it's.... It's impossible!!! >> .
