In the meantime, gazing toward her remaining two comrades, the Thread Mistress phrased in a determined tone, “This is not the time for grieving, let’s finish this war first, then we shall grieve for him all we want.”
“Now-” She was just about to continue with her sentence when she stopped abruptly. Looking toward the sky, she voiced in a hurry, “It’s coming, both of you, come stand by my side… quick!”
Soon, the gigantic shadow appeared once again.
But this time, raising both of her hands, she started to prepare for it heavily.
First, a single net of thread showed up above the trio.
However, she didn’t stop there and continued waving her hands nonstop until the second net also appeared right under the first barrier. By now, beads of sweat had shown up on her forehead due to overtaxing her Trait.
Now, the three of them were standing right under the nets’ protection as they waited for the Winged-Pig to finally arrive.
Brrr~ Rip~
A second later, the Winged-Pig collided with the first net. However, it couldn’t hold the Winged-Pig for long as it was ripped into shreds very quickly.
Looking at the first net broken almost instantly, beads of sweat started rolling down the Supersonic Sword and the Bloody Touch’s foreheads as they stared at the second net in anxiousness.
“Don’t worry, I believe the second net will hold on.” As if she was trying to comfort them, the Thread Mistress stated at this time.
Creak~…
The moment the Winged-Pig slammed into the second barrier of filaments, the net began to creak as if it was about to break at any seconds now.
Fortunately, though, the barrier held on until there was no more power behind the Winged-Pig’s descending charge. Now, the net only needed to endure the four meters beast’s weight.
“Phew… we’re-” The trio let out breaths of relief at this time as they were about to celebrate when abruptly, a humanoid rabbit burning in crimson flames appeared right beside them.
“Oh, no! Watch out!” Yelled the Thread Mistress. All she could do right now was to watch while the dark-furred creature was about to attack her allies.
Anyhow, the humanoid rabbit’s target seemed to be the little girl as its punch was already shot in her direction.
Regrettably, all that the Thread Mistress could do at this time was to focus every ounce of her Trait on the Winged-Pig or else, the Winged-Pig would also be released and that would guarantee all of their gory deaths.
Fsshhh~ Shiing~
The Supersonic Sword knew that in case the fist landed on the little girl’s body, a lot of bones would be easily broken inside her small physique and that would be extremely lethal for someone of her age.
So, utilizing the fastest speed he could, unsheathing his sword, a line was drawn in the air right between the incoming fist of the enemy and the cute Bloody Touch.
Ssshhsss~
Then, the fist bumped into the sword.
Seeing this, Supersonic Sword was about to let out a breath of relief when suddenly, his face went dark and his eyes became wide-open. Because he realized that the punch was much more powerful than he had initially assumed. So, the trajectory of his sword was changed as it stabbed right into the little girl’s stomach.
Drip~
Immediately, blood started to dribble down her small body. As the sword remained stabbed inside her body.
“Ah-” Looking down at her own body, Bloody Touch appeared to be stunned seeing her own stomach bleeding like there was no tomorrow.
“Ah… I-I’m so sorry little girl… quick, h-heal yourself!” Stutteringly, Supersonic Sword apologized while prompting her to heal herself. He also took out his sword with lightning speed so she wouldn’t feel much pain.
After being dazed for a short moment, due to the Supersonic Sword’s prompt, Bloody Touch indeed started healing herself while using a blood bag.
Perceiving the failure of his punch, on the other hand, the humanoid rabbit seemed to be slightly annoyed by this interruption. So, instead of punching her, he was about to kick her this time around.
Realizing the creature’s intention, Supersonic Sword didn’t know what to do any longer. Because he was certain the humanoid rabbit’s feet were much stronger than its arms. And in case he tried to interrupt the kick with his sword, both the sword and the kick would definitely leave a deadly injury on the little girl’s body. Something that might kill her instantly.
Soon, raising one leg, the humanoid rabbit’s foot was launched in the direction of the little girl.
Boom!
At this time, however, right in the middle of the creature and Bloody Touch’s body, an explosion seemed to have been triggered as dust drowned all three of them within.
Looking at the cloud of dust, everyone was shaken up as they stared at it in a perturbed manner.
“What happened! Is the little girl okay?”
“Oh, no… could it be… a bomb?”
“Look, the dust is clearing up!”
While everyone was watching the scene with their hearts almost in their mouths, the dust started to clear up.
A second later, people could clearly perceive almost everything once again.
However, seeing the goings-on within the dust, they became confused and stunned.
“Looks like I’m in need at last… that took more than I thought to be honest.” Came an unknown voice.
People were confused and stunned because, right now, together with the humanoid rabbit included in the count, instead of three, currently, four people were standing within the area of the cleared-up dust.
“What…?”
“Who is that person? Where did he come from?”
“Wow, he’s so handsome… look at that dark hair… and those compatible dark eyes… oh my gosh… look at those features…”
“A handsome oppa appeared!”
“The government must’ve dispatched him…”
“Yeah!”
While the viewers were staring at the newcomer with shining eyes of hope, chaos was taking place within the control room.
“Who is that brat!” Yelled the commander-in-charge, experiencing a momentary shock.
“Sir… we don’t know…” While clicking on their keyboards nonstop, the soldiers replied.
A few seconds later, one of the soldiers sitting behind a desk talked, “It’s as if he descended from the sky out of nowhere sir. I mean, look at this slow-motioned video a few seconds before the explosion of the dust…”
In the meantime, the humanoid rabbit had long retreated a few meters back as it was now staring at the dark-haired youth intently with a threatening air surrounding him.
After throwing an amused smile toward the humanoid rabbit, the dark-haired youth, however, ignored it completely as he no-longer paid it any further attention. Instead, turning toward the disturbed Thread Mistress, he talked once more, “I have no intention of middling in your battle… but since the humanoid rabbits are interfering now, I believe you guys can’t do without me…”
“Who are you!?” Shouted the Thread Mistress in the direction of the dark-haired youth. She was clearly wary of this unknown youth’s appearance.
“Who I am is of no importance, what matters is that I’m here to help. I shall fight with the humanoid rabbits while you guys keep the pig in check. After I’m done with the bunnies, we shall deal with that monstrous flying pig together, how does that sound?” Phrased the dark-haired youth in absolute calm.
Hearing his words, the Thread Mistress didn’t know why, but she had this vague feeling as if they truly needed his assistance. But knowing nothing about him, she voiced back, “You better run away while you can, or else it would be too late for you to keep your little life intact.”
“Hahaha…” Following a short pause, the youth started laughing out loud due to hearing the Thread Mistress’ words. Then, turning toward the direction of the humanoid rabbit with a grin, he… charged.
In just a moment, much to the surprise of Thread Mistress, he was already upon the humanoid rabbit as he sent a punch toward the creature.
Bam!
Immediately, two punches collided with each other.
