World Record - Chapter 64

64. Tamamo Gozen

[Hmph]

Iwato yakuza kicks the Unknown in front of him.
Of course the Unknown died in an instant, and the Unknowns behind the corpse were blown away by that.

[Haa Theres really a lot of them]
[Enough that I am getting sick of it!]

At the next moment, several shadow swords are created around Tsukie, and each swords are shot to the Monster cla.s.s Unknowns.
Shadow Clone.
Its one of Tsukies Shadow Magic ability. An ability that creates your own clone using the energy called mana.
However, the power of the clone is half weaker than the real body. The current Tsukie only has a Battle Rank similar to a C rank, but it doesnt have any meaning as Iwato is here.
In such situation, Iwato squints when theres a new presence.

[Sacred Beast? No, maybe a Divine Beats?]

Between Sacred Beast and Divine Beast cla.s.s.
At most a lower Divine Beast cla.s.s.

[Huh? D-Dont tell me a new Divine Beast cla.s.s appeared?]
[Ah, un. It seems so]

Iwato said so while drop-kicking the Unknown in front of him. And, the pitiful Unknown that dies. Its like a job already.
While doing so, this time, Iwato opened his eyes wide.

[Oooh, the one that appeared where the strong one is, was instant killed. The weak Divine Beast cla.s.s]
[Theres a lot of part to be retorted, but first, why can you sense the presence in so detailed]
[Well, its because someone put her own son through a h.e.l.lish training ever since hes a kid]

Tsukie holds down her heart by those words.
Iwato who felt that the place is close, clenched his fist.

[Yosh, lets blow this off]
[Eh? W-Wait]

At the next moment, Iwatos fist raise a roar as the wind pressure annihilated the Unknowns.

Going back a little in time.
About 10 minutes after Iwato and Tsukies clone entered the building, Tsumugu and the rest finally got used to deal with the advancing Unknown army.

[Soueiga] (TL note: The kanji is (Blue shadow fang) and read as (Soueiga))

At the next moment, a blue shadow stretched from Tsukies hand.
She swings it towards the Unknowns, and the Unknowns are severed.
And, Karen and Ayame gulped by the magnificent movement.
As expected of the top of the Special Forces.
Clearly on par with an A rankno, maybe higher than that.
When such Tsukie turns around, she said this to Tsumugu.

[Tsumu-chan! Cover me!]
[Nnokay]

Tsumu replied so to her, and pointed her hands towards the front.
And

[h.e.l.l Fire Destruction]

The next moment, divine flame gush out from her hands, and swallowing the Unknowns in the pa.s.sage together with Tsukie.

[[!? What are you doing!?]]

Karen and Ayame raised such voice upon seeing that.

[Even though its not hot, its quite tough that I cant breathe]

The two opened their eyes wide when they heard such voice from the flame.
When they looked at the flame, Tsukie came out of the divine flame unhurt, and she breathes in.
Upon seeing that, Tsumugu canceled her superpower.
At the same time as that, the divine flame extinguish completely, and the pa.s.sage became openand its exactly a picture of h.e.l.l.
Most of the Unknowns have been burnt and died, but there are probably some Mythical Beast cla.s.s that have fire resistance. The unpleasant smell of a burnt meat.
By that, Secretary-san frowns, and recalled the great compatibility of her superpowerwith Tsumugu.

[Heat Nullifywasnt it? Although you are using a quite unusual abilityyou still use that ability]
[Of course! Thats my superpower after all!]

Heat Nullify.
Thats Tsukies superpower.
Flame, heat, vapor. All of these are included in heat, and its an ability that nullifies it. The ability can also be shared by touching.
Thats why, she managed to stay unhurt in Tsumugus flame, but flame needs oxygen to continue burning.
Therefore, inside the flame, she couldnt breathe, and she have to stop breathing while moving.
Howeverstill, the compatibility is too good.

[For meits the worst compatibility]
[Geez! Tsumu-chan always say such cruel thing!]

Tsukie pouts upon hearing Tsumugus words.
Certainly, for Tsumugu, Tsukies superpower has the worst compatibility with hers.
Her taijutsu is better than her, her divine flame has not effect at all, and above all, shadow magic is stronger than her ogres arm.
Even though Tsumugus Battle Rank is 20 higher than Tsukies, if they fought each other, Tsukie will probably win.
Thats as long as its not a serious battle.
Tsukie said so because she knew it, and turns away

Dogoooon!!

Upon hearing the sound of destruction resounded suddenly, they opened their eyes wide.
The sound was heard from the building, so Tsukie who share vision with her shadow clonesighed.

[Haait feels like its inevitable that we are fighting down here once seeing this]
[Nnclearlyits Nii-san]

Tsukie nods on Tsumugus words, and she looks up towards the direction where Iwato and her shadow clone are.

[Iwatoplease be careful]

She muttered so in worry.

[Un, here]

Iwato stopped in front of the room.
When he looks upwards, the name of the room is written down.
General research laboratory.
Upon seeing that, Tsukie had an unpleasant guess.

(ResearcherGeneral research laboratorySilent warp hole)

If its him, then it makes sense.
Isnt the reason why the warning didnt ring is because he lowered the lever beforehand to turn off the warning?
If its him, couldnt he easily know when the people will not be in this building?
Am I thinking this too much?
Upon thinking that much, Tsukie placed her hand on her forehead and sighed.

[Nn? Whats wrong, Kaa-san?]
[No, its just that I think I know the researchers ident.i.ty now]
[Seriously, its too late already]

Iwato muttered so in amaze, and opened the door without hesitation.

[Sorry for intruding]

The door opens.
Beyond the door is a huge hole that cant be compared with the laboratory from before.
And, the smell of blood.
Iwato guessed that its probably the Divine Beast cla.s.s while looking forwardand opened his eyes wide.
And, Tsukie also did the same thing.

[T-ThatsOono? Oono Tooru?]

Oono Tooru.
The traitors real name, and the most prominent researcher who has the most knowledge in warp hole in Sapporo.
In front of them is a huge grotesque corpse without a head, and a purple-haired head on the floor.
Theres several b.u.mps that doesnt looks like a human should have, but still, the face has his look remained.
Tsukie grinds her teeth by the factthat the person she trusted was the traitor.

Well done on reaching here, Black PandoraNo, its Black King, isnt it?

Tsukie felt fear by the presence together with the voice.
Before she know it, the girl has already jumped towards Iwatos back, and sweats starts to flow from her body a few seconds later.
Tsukie looks at Iwato.
Iwato is no longer looking at the corpse, but hes looking at the opponent, and when Tsukie followed his eyesshe was shocked.

[Those earsare you perhaps, Tamamo Gozen?]
Hee, so you know me

A beautiful blond woman was there.
The long blond hair and the transparent blue eyes just like the sky.
Shes wearing a white robe with a red hakama. She looks just like a foreigner cosplaying as a shrine maiden.
If the fox ears and golden tail are not there.

[Tamamo Gozen? I-Isnt that one of the strongest youkai matching that Shutendouji?]
[Un, no wonder I can feel the aura through the building]

Iwato starts walking forward.
The look of not fearing her at all.
Upon seeing that, the girlTamamo Gozen grinned broadly.

Just as I thought. You are the strongest one I ever met before. I knew it ever since I saw you

Her eyes didnt see his soul.
However, with just a glance, she knowshis strength.
Although I saw it through the screen, as expected, its different when seeing it before my eyes.

(To be this muchHonestly, he surpa.s.sed my expectation and a.s.sumption)

The pitch black aura that comes out of his body.
Death, despair, anger, hatred. The absolutely undyeable black with those mixed in it.
However, she was delighted upon seeing that.
I can fight.

[Arent you also strong? Probably, the strongest I have saw before]

Iwato was also surprised by her strength.
He used the word probably.
However, hes convinced thatthis girl is surely stronger than Shutendouji.
The golden aura coming out of her body is overflowing to the outside with intimidating air.

The distance between the two is getting closer, and Iwato stopped about one meter in front of her.
Hes not preparing.
Tamamo Gozen smiled enjoyably upon seeing his composure.
She clenches her fist.

Dogoooo!

The next moment, a roar resounded, and Iwatos body crashes into the wall.
The person left there is Tamamo Gozen who swung her fist.
She looked forward, and said this.

Now, lets fight!
