Death Guns In Another World-Chapter 1179 1098: Heaven-Sky Splitting Slash
Let's rewind time.
Gracier was fighting the female Brutal Ape but unlike how she usually does fights she was using a new mode, her Gift have turned into a sword form and with wings behind she took the sky.
"This is fun!"
Gracier flapped her wings and she swooped down at the Brutal ape from high up in the sky. Her crimson sword shining like a lightsaber extended from the hilt, turning her into a beautiful falling meteor. She was so fast that she shook the space she traveled.
She had the highest mobility and agility among the others as she got her wings faster than them and unlike the others, she liked using them and thus got plenty of experience.Her perks made her almost peerless when it comes to close-quarter combat.
''Uh! Uh! Uh!''
The ape spread its arm wide as if telling Gracier to come at it while bellowing like a beast. Raising its arms overhead, the Brutal ape chose a frontal charge against Gracier.
A sword of light infused with so much power it pierced the space around it. Gracier fell in an indomitable streak from more than two hundred meters in the air, smiting the ape from above.
Swoosh!
The female Brutal Ape ape jumped into the air before it swung its arm, the creature left a streaking afterimage in the air, stirring the air with just the force of its swing. It was planning on taking this hit head-on.
Bang!
A collision happened in the air, the ape who leaped up in defiance of Gracier's strike got swatted into the ground in a very heavy fall. The ground immediately gave way as the brute force attacks between two above level 140, two Rank 14, Demigods tore the land apart, making a gigantic hole in the process.
In the epicenter, an area spanning twenty meters in diameter got reduced to complete rubble. The shockwave generated from this exchange of attack absolutely demolished everything in its way, towering trees fell just as easily as the flimsy flowers around them. The ground immediately lowered by 2 meters compared to the area around it. Dust and stones are still falling from the sky, the ground was still slightly trembling from the impact.
Gracier attack against the Brutal ape immediately shuddered the surrounding not far away, both other monsters covered their ears to protect themselves from this earth-sundering sound, they were flabbergasted by the loud noise this shockwave was generating, and most of them escaped shortly after, some unlucky among them died while running.
''Oh?''
Gracier who likes Saeko was fighting differently unlike she usually does was surprised, she got thrown back into the sky from the reaction force between the two. Her petite body flipped a few times in the sky before she finally managed to stop herself. With a flap of her wings, she steadied herself.
"That hurts…"
She used her other hand to massage her sword hand. She was the victor of that bout, however, her hand was still numb from the impact between them.
Gravity helped her, otherwise, she would have been dealing with a swelling wrist.
The female Brutal ape's strength could be gauged from this.
''Tch! I thought I was stronger physically guess the world is still a wonderful place."
Suddenly, Gracier puffed her cheeks as if somebody wronged her before smiling as if she found the whole situation odd.
"I knew I shouldn't have chosen an opponent based on gender, I mistakenly assumed that you will be weaker and easy to beat, I wanted to finish first and go help Saeko while at the same time using this chance to ask for a favor.''
In the trashed location where the ape fell, the creature burst out of the ground with a roar. It yelled angrily at Astrea, that blow probably enraged it to no end.
"Ah, you are sure quite sturdy. The tough bunch, huh!''
The female Brutal ape was dusty but that's about it. No visible harm could be observed much to Gracier's shock. She might be playing but she could still see and the fact that this creature came out unharmed is nothing less than incredible.
"Fine, let's do that again!"
Gracier yelled, face full of smiles. Transforming into a blurry figure, she was about to attack the Brutal ape one more time when it turned around and started running.
''Ehh?''
Gracier gasped in bewilderment at this sight. When she recovered, flames started seething in her and around her body, her wings shone dazzlingly like two miniature suns.
"Don't run! You cheeky monkey!"
Flapping her wings, she charged at the retreating ape.
Two Demigods individuals were now involved in a cat-and-mouse game. This scene would cause a lot of jaws to drop if anyone's looking.
The ape did a u-turn and stopped right in front of Gracier. Gracier swung her sword but this sudden change of momentum caused her blade to miss as the ape flailed its fist at her fist by taking advantage of the gap in her attack. This attack was swung at full force. 𝒇𝒓eewe𝒃𝑛𝒐𝘃𝒆𝚕.co𝘮
"Ah!"
She didn't expect this but she couldn't cancel out her attack even if she noticed this, she raised her other arm and a flame shield automatically materialized around this arm and she blocked the attack which sent her flying into the distance.
Gracier flipped once in the air and she stopped. Her heterochromia, red and gold eyes couldn't hide the rising anger inside herself, she was about to blow her tops off!
"You despicable monkey, I was going easy on you but you took me for an idiot. To think I would be led around the nose by a monkey…"
Gracier's body couldn't stop trembling from fury. She's outraged that a monkey would dare to compete in a contest of wits with her! Her anger points immediately hit the max value.
The ape wasn't aware that it fired up a volcano that could use a few more intelligence points.
Turning itself into a rocket, the ape jumped at Gracier with fist mirages around it, this was its way of confusing the enemy.
This was considered a sign that the ape wasn't planning on challenging her IQ.
Gracier's hair flared up and anger was written all over her face. Releasing a shout, her flame sword danced a full 360 degrees around her. Using most of her unspent skill points on the Sword Art's skill acquired after awakening a 3rd mode, information about how to perfectly use a sword appeared inside her brain along with a certain skill.
Pouring mana into her body and she turned into a storm of slashes.
In no time at all, she conjured up a constant stream of sword slashes.
When the storm receded and Gracier appeared, the afterimages had already disappeared with a dull thud.
A flash of light appeared in her eyes, the red light on her flame sword brightened as her blade vibrated rapidly at extreme speed. The sword's increased frequency corresponded with her speed as she sped up.
The sword enlarged at least a dozen times, forming a gigantic sword of light. She raised it high as if she wanted to split the sky and the clouds.
"Die for me! You idiot!"
''Heaven-Sky Splitting Slash!''
Huffing and puffing she yelled out loud as she swung the heaven-splitting blade down, the force would make anyone experience an illusion like she split reality into two parts. The blade fell upon the Longarm ape.
KABOOM!
The ground beneath the ape immediately crumbled away forming a 100-meter-wide chasm. Boulders were thrown into the sky as a loud sound echoed in this area.
The female Brutal Ape lost its momentum and its arms fell. Not just that, a line appeared in the ape, this line fitted the abyss that was opened by her. Then, the ape fell in two halves as blood and organs rained down from the sky.
Her last thought has been regret, an illusion to escape the gruesome truth.
'Blood, there's blood everywhere. It's drenched my clothes, they're sticky and heavy and red. Red, everything is red, even the ground below me is turning red with blood. My blood.
The only thing holding me up is this stupid chair beneath me. Maybe I can use it to stand up, walk away and find help. No, it's no use. I'm too weak.
No, I cannot give up. Giving up means I lose, I will never give up. There must be a way out of this, there must be a way I can live. Surely there must be somebody around here, somebody who can help me. Save me.
I can't breathe, I can't breathe. Everything is so heavy, I can't breathe. I must lay down, yes, I'll just lay down. Much better, at least now I can breathe. A little anyway. That's fine, help will be here soon, I'll just lay here and wait. At least this way I'll spare my energy.
I'm going to die. Shame it's not like in the movies, I have yet to see flashes of my life as I slowly pass away. Maybe they're yet to come. It should be soon though, I know I have little time left. Best get ready for the show.
My mind is numb, I'm feeling drowsy. I can't think straight anymore, I'm too tired. The world looks distorted, I can't make sense of any of it anymore. My mind is numb.
I love you Bronis.'
''!!!!'' The dying ape managed to let out a last cry and the other ape, the male happened to hear it.
