《Harmony: An Assassins Tale》Chapter 23: A Woman's Ingenuity
Advertisement
After finding out her trump card, Iansis, was pretty much useless in the face of Rittz, she decided she had no option than to pull out her Soul Emifer, and this time I could tell, just by her glare, that she isn't kidding anymore, it is now a do or die game, where if I don't dodge every attack, I would pretty much die, as a result, I had to stay on my toes, ready to dodge any attack she would try and dish at me. Ever since the death of LesLout, I've been feeling stronger, and I was itching to use my Soul Emifer. "Now, come at me Trinity, the new Human Lord, Hazen the Tenth! Ever since LesLout, the 105th Human Lord, had died, I have now been bestowed the title of the 106th Human Lord, as so, every time a Lord dies, a partial power of his remains in the next Lord, so now, if I activate my true strength, I would have all previous 105 Lords power inside of me, sure, all of them only around 2-3 % Full power, but considering each Lord is much stronger than you, it makes me just as powerful. Now, come at me, you attempts to kill me at full strength will bear no fruit, it is futile, surrender now, and I shall let you live." and she laughed like a maniac, again.
"You thought I didn't already know that? Diablo taught me pretty much everything to know about these things, but still, in a battle, with the right tactic, a group of 1000 men can defeat a group of 100,000. I will kill you in the same matter, and make Diablo~Sama happy! Now, die, would you?" Saying the last part in an awfully cute voice. She then lunged at me, seemingly without thought, but I knew it was to lure me in, so I didn't take the bluff, but it truly was a bluff. She attacked sluggishly, knowing that I would be on guard, and then, the moment my guard broke just for a tiny amount of time, she attacked, and hit me head on, I knew she already activated her Soul Emifer, which is going to make this more tough, but interesting nonetheless.
She then came at me with a barrage of attacks, each attack creating an afterimage, yet none of those images hit me, even though I didn't dodge, so I supposed it was simply an illusion, and that she was behind me , and I took the bluff once again, falling into her plans, and she got another strike on me, creating a big 'x' on my back. "Damn, you got me good, missy, well, since your going full force, may as well do the same." and I activated the power of the previous 105, although it was much weaker than it should be, because I was only 106th in name, not officially. Still, the power I felt surging through every vein in my body was more than I imagined, maybe the same as me with my Soul Emifer, before the power, of course. I felt superhuman, like my entire body had awakened, like I had 5 cups of coffee and the caffene kept me awake for the next three days (not really, just as if). "Now, come at me, missy." I said, taunting her, but I knew it wouldn't change anything, I just did it for the formality.

After that she attacked again, and this time she had afterimages again. When I thought she was behind me, I instantly thought again whether she is with the afterimages or not, and whether this entire thing is an illusion or not. I simply attacked both side, behind and infront, and I saw her fall, and I knew I hit her. But then, an arrow came from the trees around me, and although I was able to catch it, I never saw it coming. "My,my! You actually caught it, well that makes it easier, the entire arrow was tipped with poison that first corrodes your skin............................ like acid, and then enters your bloodstream, killing you within the next 4 hours." the pause was because I was screaming due to the excruciating pain. It was like she said, I saw a big burn mark on the skin the arrow touched, and then I saw blood pouring out, but it was purple, like it was infected or something, and I knew I had to activate my Soul Emifer. "Well well, you actually brought me to it, I suppose. Now I have to activate my Soul Emifer, god damnit, and I thought I could've had more fun without it, no matter, this is going to be done in a jiffy. Now come forth Ketsueki!" and nothing came, kind of like LesLout's Soul Emifer. My Soul Emifer, however, rather than cloaking my body with invisible material, is directly seared into my blood , kind of like Es**ath from Ak*me g* K**l . This 'blood' was actually kind of like a multiplier, which made my blood pumping increase by a signifcant amount, and makes it so my heart and stuff don't burst kind of like Lu**y.
With that, the poison faded pretty instantly, because there was to much blood, so it was diluted enough to be to weak. "Wha...? How could this be? It was made with the strongest acid found, with a pH of -2 ! It was so acidic , it was burning the arrow while it was in the air! How could the likes of you, negate it's effect?" and I told her." It is just Ketsueki's power. It is seared into my blood which alows my blood flow to become much much faster, but that is just one of the many handy tricks it has, you will find out the other tricks if you think you are strong enough." I said, giving a grin as if I killed her entire family, and that she is next.

Although she knew I wasn't bluffing, she didn't seem worried either. Undaunted, she came, and charged at me just like before. The first thing I did, was cut open a fresh wound on my arm, and she seemed pretty confused at first. Then, afterwards, when she charged at me, I used Ketsueki's power to manipulate my blood, and I made a barrier of blood around me, and this blood was thicker than average blood, and it hardened pretty quickly, which made it so that her attacks didnt hit me at all, but nonetheless, I got hit. "Gah! How am I continuously being hti!" and then I remembered everything.
"No, at that time I used both Iansis and my SE." she said before, and I understood. When she was creating illusions, it was with the help of both Iansis and her SE, so that means her SE would create illusions, meaning everything I see right now is an illusion, so most likely I'm standing still in the real world, without my SE nor my boost from being Lord, and she knows that I have both of this, because it is in an illusion, but her mistake was hitting me again, when I was fully covered, or was it another trap, I thought. Then, all around me the afterimages and Trinity vanished.
"Well done, I could hear myself hearing you thinking about what is true, and that is right, well done, but tell me now, is this the Real World? Or my Genjutsu?" she questioned, rhetorically. She then continued attacking me, like nothing happened. When I realized she attacked me, I wasn't using my SE nor my boost, so that means this was real, or was it another illusion world? I simply left that idea and didn't take the bluff, which, suprisingly was correct, it was infact real.
After that I decided I was done playing around. "Well then, Trinity, you have peaked my interest, yet for now, I'm busy and can not continue playing with you. After you have became atleast twice as stronger, seek me out again, I will be waiting for you to come." and with that I activated all my powers. Once I did, I first shrinked the amount of blood going to my brain, so that I would be partially unconscious, which made it so that whether or not it was an illusion nothing would change. Then, I simply went charging at her with the remaining consciousness I had, and when I was close enough to her, I could hear her heavy breathing, like she was worried. I then sent blood pouring into my head, and I was fully conscious again, and smacked her straight into the torso, below the chest, because I'm not that cruel.
She then flew a few metres and hit the apartment wall, and she fell, seemingly unconscious. I decided I was done with her. So I went to her 'unconscious' body and when I went to grab her, she screamed at me, "What are you doing to me! Sexual Harassment! Im calling the police........................ Hello? Police? A man is trying to rape me! Please jail him!" she said in an innocent voice, and then the police came, and when they came I had to hide my power. They then took me to jail, and she acted as if she was being raped, and while I was sent, I gave her a cold eye and she simply sticked her tongue out, "Bhhh, Baka!" she said, hiding her laugh. They then took her back to her home, because they still assumed that she was raped. "Man, for shame, raping a woman, well then, Hazen, I trust that she is lieing, so now, please go away!" the policeman said, and I recognized his voice. I then thanked him and went off, waiting for Johnny to come. When the other policemen came, he simply said that while he went to the washroom, the guy left, so if anyone was to be blamed it was him. I now owe Master's friend another debt, and I left, waiting for Johnny.

Coerced to make a deal, Elijah made a deal that would change his life forever................................................................................ “Don’t worry boy” “It seems I haven’t introduced myself,” the imp said widening the smile on its face. “I am Deltrich, ‘he who bears the Principality of knowledge’” Elijah wasn’t sure if he saw a ray of light coming from Deltrich. But he was sure of one thing, that this was no ordinary imp. Deltrich who was already done with his introduction, saw Elijah looking at him in awe, puffed his chest up in pride. “I am sure there’s nothing you have that I want and nothing you can give that I desire”. Deltrich said choosing to break the atmosphere. “In other words, a deal which I’m sure would be satisfying to both parties” Elijah who wasn’t used to this type of situation scrunched his face up in frustration. He knew Deltrich,’ the Imp’ wasn’t his usual fantasy personage, so he decided to keep his mouth shut and listen to what Deltrich had to say. “In return, you shall ask me anything you want and I shall offer if it’s beneath my power”. Elijah still didn’t respond, instead, he waited for the creature to continue with its proposal after all it would be a miracle if it was easy but he knew there was no such thing as an easy way out, so he waited.............................................................................
