Chapter 230 Holding True in One's Arms and Killing Him
"Mahiru, take this iron sword and use it." Natsuo took out the iron sword and handed it to Shiina Mahiru.
"Okay." Shiina Mahiru took the iron sword and imbued the blade with magic.
The blade was instantly enveloped in a shimmering white light.
Now, Natsuo's weapon, Shiina Mahiru, can also use it.
The weapon was his, and Shiina Mahiru had become his woman, so it was only natural that she could use the weapon.
She can use a katana, but she doesn't know any katana techniques.
Xia Sheng was also unable to pass on his katana skills to her; for the time being, he couldn't find a way to help her improve her strength.
Do we need to go even further?
Does that mean the only option is to have children?
Even if it were possible, Natsuo wouldn't plan to do it. Shiina Mahiru is still a high school student, and so is he. They haven't thought about becoming fathers so soon.
Let's think of another way.
Shiina Mahiru didn't think that much about it. She brandished her iron sword, which shimmered with light, and a satisfied smile appeared on her face.
She can now participate in the battle and help Xia Sheng.
There's no need to hide in a corner and worry anymore.
Rather than praying for Xia Sheng, she hoped to stand with him through thick and thin, sharing both joy and sorrow.
Beside her, Yukino Yukinoshita looked at the shimmering white light on the iron sword, her eyes flickering.
That rippled with a hint of envy.
Perhaps, she didn't need to make a choice slowly at all; every time Shiina Mahiru demonstrated her abilities, it was urging her to make a decision.
But if she doesn't have that thought, no amount of stimulation will help.
"Yukino, you stay here. If there's any danger, run to the second floor," Natsumi said, taking out his katana.
"...Okay." Yukino Yukinoshita responded softly.
"Mahiru, are you ready?" Natsuo looked at Shiina Mahiru and held out his hand to her.
"I've been ready for a long time." Shiina Mahiru took his hand, her smile bright.
Natsumi pulled her away, creating some distance between herself and Yukino Yukinoshita, and looked into the depths.
Danger perception is activated; share it with her.
The third level fell silent, but after a few seconds, deep inside, the space began to ripple and sway.
The two of them felt it; alarm bells were ringing frantically in their hearts, reminding them that danger was approaching.
Natsumi became more alert, grasped Shiina Mahiru's hand tightly, and offered her comfort.
However, Shiina Mahiru was not afraid at all. Fighting alongside Natsuo was exactly what she had been looking forward to, and with him by her side, she was full of confidence.
She shook his hand in return and smiled back.
Seeing her confident smile, Xia Sheng relaxed as well.
Just then, the fluctuations in the deep space stopped, and the next second, a huge and robust figure stepped into this space.
Dressed in leather, with dark skin, a familiar orc.
But not just one.
There were six enormous figures in total, appearing in pairs, forming three pairs in succession.
Six orcs stood before Xia Sheng, and the pressure on him increased dramatically.
He could handle one, but it would require him to exert all his strength and use his ultimate move.
With Shiina Mahiru's help, her black flames could burn away the orcs' defenses, and they could be dealt with just as easily.
But six would be difficult.
However, this was expected. There were six intruders on the first and second floors, so naturally there would be six on the third floor as well.
However, while we may have anticipated it, we can only truly understand how oppressive it is when we actually face it.
It is as solid as a fortress of bronze and iron, indestructible.
However, they did not come unprepared; they had discussed their strategy.
Now, we'll have to see what the orcs do.
"Mahiru." Natsuo released her hand.
"Yes." Shiina Mahiru nodded, gripping the iron sword tightly.
The two men separated by about two meters and walked together toward the orc.
Faced with the two approaching, the orc's rugged face remained expressionless, but they moved together.
They split into three groups, one facing Natsumi and the other facing Shiina Mahiru.
Even though they are powerful, they will not be arrogant enough to engage in a fair one-on-one duel.
Xia Sheng watched their actions, his face darkening. This was the last thing he wanted to see.
They feel no pressure in one-on-one situations.
But in the worst-case scenario, there is still no other choice but to resolve everything.
Goblins can use magic to attack in the real world; if orcs were to come, who knows how dangerous it would be... if they didn't target humans but instead aimed to destroy them... Although this hasn't happened yet, we must have this concern.
At that time, some things were exposed.
But not yet!
Xia Sheng quickened his pace and rushed towards the three orcs. He was very fast and approached them in the blink of an eye.
However, he did not intend to fight all three of them head-on. He drew his blade, sheathed it, activated his body enhancement magic, and increased his speed even further. He became a blur, carrying a white light, and instantly brushed past them.
Before the three orcs could react, Xia Sheng flashed behind them, creating distance between them.
Ignoring the attack on their waists, they turned around and continued to walk slowly toward Xia Sheng.
Seeing this, Xia Sheng breathed a sigh of relief. As long as he could attract their attention, that would be fine.
He ignored them and charged toward the other three orcs that Shiina Mahiru was facing.
He used the same trick again, quickly approaching the two orcs behind him and slashing them in the waist as well.
They couldn't break through his skin either, but they stopped and turned their gaze to Xia Sheng.
Xia Sheng didn't rush to run away, but stood still, staring at them with a defiant look in his eyes.
The two orcs also turned and walked towards him.
Adding to the original three, there are now five.
Moreover, they didn't blindly chase Xia Sheng; instead, they launched a fan-shaped attack, encircling him.
Xia Sheng felt a sudden increase in pressure, but he was secretly delighted.
[Mahiru, your chance has come.] He telepathically reminded him.
[good!]
Without further hesitation, Shiina Mahiru activated her body enhancement magic and quickly approached the orc.
Along the way, her demeanor changed; her flaxen hair turned gray in an instant, and her tracksuit was stained with black.
Her entire demeanor changed drastically; her jet-black hair turned sinister, and the smile on her pretty face became even more alluring.
Awakening skills are all reversed.
Unleash your true self.
She raised her left hand, and magic gathered in her palm, causing a jet-black lotus flame to bloom.
The moment the lotus flames took shape, they drifted toward the orc.
The moment they made contact, a burst of dark flames erupted, instantly engulfing the orc.
"Roar!" The orc let out a painful, earth-shattering roar.
The five orcs chasing Xia Sheng stopped at the same time, looking at their companions in confusion.
Natsumi took the opportunity to get close to Shiina Mahiru.
"Natsuo!"
"Come."
Natsumi picked up Shiina Mahiru in his arms and carried her close to the orc enveloped in black flames.
Shiina Mahiru, holding the iron sword that had lost its shimmering white light, wrapped her arms around his neck, leaned in, and kissed him.
Xia Sheng responded and began to transfer his magic to her.
Soon, a bright white light shone on the iron sword again.
The two arrived in front of the orc. The black flames on its body had dissipated, but along with them, the leather it wore and its black skin had also vanished.
It has changed drastically; its skin has turned green, and it is kneeling helplessly, a sight that wolves and foxes find unbearable.
Shiina Mahiru gripped the iron sword tightly with both hands, and without hesitation, cleaved off its head with all her might.
Its head rolled to the ground, and its body sprayed out black liquid.
Natsumi, holding Shiina Mahiru, dodged, but instead of retreating, he charged towards the still-dazed orc.
They are still confused because of the death of their companion.
Their skin has been forged through countless trials and tribulations; it is indestructible. How could it be damaged?
But Natsumi and the others wouldn't explain to them. After getting close to them, Shiina Mahiru once again gathered magic power in her palm and condensed a fire lotus.
Before one of the orcs could react, it was entangled by the fire lotus and engulfed by the dark flames.
At this moment, the other orcs finally reacted, retreating in fear and becoming cautious.
They realized that the pitch-black flames were their nemesis!
Natsuo had already pulled Shiina Mahiru back to create some distance, and the two kissed each other again.
This was neither a celebration nor a flirtatious exchange on the battlefield, but rather a continued effort to replenish mana.
Shiina Mahiru recovers her magic power too slowly, so she can only rely on Natsuo to quickly replenish it.
With magic, she was able to continue unleashing the fire lotus to fight the orcs.
That's their strategy.
