Gate Guardian - Song of the Frozen Soul

PHASE 64 - MOONLIGHT CHEATING

PHASE 64 - MOONLIGHT CHEATING

This is the very first time I’ve seen Asumi-nee fighting at full force. All of the time, she would fight Eidolons in a wacky manner just for the laughs. Now she’s completely different.

She transformed from a clown sister into a disciplining mother.

“Come. Fight with all your heart.” Asumi-nee/Lord Haliya’s words are intended to reach mine.

I closed my eyes and focused my prana on my heart. I reminisced the feeling of Necchan caressing my soul, imagining the warmth of our friendship in my mind. I absorbed prana that was mixed in the air, and then…

As I opened my eyes, I have attained divinity on my <Demigoddess Form>.

Ten shape-shifting wings swayed on my back. Holographic halos appeared on my wrists and feet. My shrine maiden outfit shifted to a white silk fairy dress.

“You really are a fascinating child, Tiara. You have attained divinity without the help of a God Core. Only twelve persons are recorded to have such kind Demigod power in the multiverse.”

Asumi-nee spoke about multiple universes again. I would like her to tell me a bedtime story about her travels in the other universes, but that will come later.

For now, we have to defeat her!

“<Aero Twirl>!!!” Rikkun attacked first with a gigantic tornado drill!

But it was repelled immediately! All Lord Haliya did is to spin her halberd like a propeller and used it as a shield. She’s spinning it so fast that the wind emitting from it countered the surging hurricane drill!

“My turn.” Lord Haliya smirked.

And then, in the blink of an eye.

Slash!

“Gah!” Rikkun fell down, the platinum sword tumbled in the air and stuck on the wooden floor of the bell tower.

What was that? All I saw is a glimpse of pure darkness, and then a single silver streak. But she didn’t even cast <Moonlight Slash>!

“Tiara!” Rikkun shouted.

When I turned around, I was surprised by an imminent hack to my stomach! The surroundings became black, and there were several silver streaks that hit my body!

“Kya!” I uttered a cry as I rolled on the floor.

Asumi-nee is going easy on us. She’s using the wooden tip of her halberd so that we won’t get hurt. If she used those blades while attacking, I could’ve been a pork chop right now!

“I’m not finished yet!”

Lord Haliya rose up to the moon and waved her halberd. Several Gates opened on her back and each of those unleashed golden energy dragons! She’s using multiple <Shenlong Drive> without even muttering a word!

“<Shenlong Drive - X10>!!!” I shouted. My ten wings whipped out golden dragons that clashed with the Moon Goddess’s serpents. But the difference in quantity is large! I can only cast a multiplied <Shenlong Drive> ten at once, but she can do it consecutively as long as she continues to wave her halberd!

There are still about twelve dragons rushing to my position, and I won’t make it in time to cast another spell!

Rikkun jumped in front, and then...

“<Moonlight Waltz>!!!” Twelve swift slashes made the serpents disappear. Using the platinum sword, Rikkun connected with another spell! “<Void Art: Limbo Spiral>!!!”
