Against the Inevitable Destiny
Chapter 95 - Sorry to be late

A few minutes when they will fight. Daisy has some thoughts that bother her. She was worried about Lily because she didn't see her whereabouts anywhere.

“Princess, where's Lily?“

Daisy approaches Shiori then asks her where Lily is because she didn't see her when they came. Although he believed in them, but he was still worried that Lily would be involved in their current situation.

“No need to worry aunt Daisy, Lily is in safe hands.”

Shiori smiled at Daisy to calm her down.

She did not lie when she said Lily was in safe hands. It might even be that 'he' was watching them from afar.

Daisy does not doubt her ojo-sama words as she nods and feels relieved. After all, she was the one who cared for Shiori since childhood, she knew how she was. In addition, Shiori also often plays with Lily so she believes that Shiori is unlikely to harm Lily.

After asking a few other things, Shiori smiled meaningfully at Daisy who had currently changed quite a lot.

“You look prettier at the moment, Bibi.”

“It...”

Daisy doesn't know what to say. She did not tell him about her true identity, and perhaps some other things were related to Lily from Shiori. But there were some reasons for that and he didn't know if he should tell it or not.

Seeing her confusion, Shiori knew that it was not the right time to listen to her Aunt's explanation. Moreover, she also did not want to make her Aunt feel guilty because she must have a strong reason.

Therefore, he waved his hand and explained that he did not blame her or something like that.

After they had a short chat, they decided to join the crowd after confirming that they had settled their affairs with the traitors.

.

.

A few seconds later, when Riyu closed her eyes, at the same time, Kaji also opened her eyes. His eyes that had become red at this moment turned black. After which, he roared then the black flames that enveloped him gushed into an extremely powerful aura and the heat made the people who were there look at him seriously.

*Twitter*

Kaji disappeared after someone who had a life. He had become like a monster that would slaughter anything that had life, and it was Yami's misfortune when she became the person she was after.

Shiori who saw that immediately used her ability to protect Yami from the incoming attack.

>> Light Barrier

[Forming a barrier that protects the target from attack ]

The light barrier envelops Yami.

As Kaji clenched his hand, flames appeared in his hand and then hit Shio's barrier. In fact, the barrier had to be strong enough to buy time for Yami even if it was a level A Knight.

But alas, it was only a few seconds ago that the barrier was smashed into pieces.

Seeing that, Yami did not stay silent.

>> Dark Absorption

[Absorbing some of the enemy's attacks using dark energy ]

Yami's hands gave off dark energy.

The darkness surrounded his hand and in his palm it was like a black hole.

The moment he received the attack, he felt that his body would actually be destroyed even if he had absorbed half of his attack.

“Ugh, she is very strong.”

*BOO*

Yami was thrown far away as she received the impact from her attack.

Sho also did not remain silent.

He threw a few arrows, but it remained of no effect at all as Kaji seemed to be protected by some sort of black flame.

“Let me do something.”

Mei said as she moved quickly towards Kaji. After which, he was right behind her then swung his sword a few times. Surprisingly, his sword swing seemed to pierce through Kaji's body without causing any effect, but it was actually what he was after.

Instantly the aura of the kaji weakened and the black flames that were slightly protecting it disappeared.

And that's the energy that Mei has, the energy authority.

Sensing that, Kaji became angry and he immediately attacked Mei with his hands and claws. Despite the loss of energy, Kaji is still an A+ level Knight who is now at the top level so the punch is still me.

*BOOM*

“Sho, Miss Daisy.”

Mei gives instructions to the two of them to attack Kaji who is currently in a weakened state.

*BOOM*

*BOOM*

The resulting explosion of Sho's arrow echoed back then and it inflicted a slight wound on Kaji as he did not get any protection from his energy.

Then Daisy comes and binds Kaji with a tree branch strong enough to hold an A+-class Knight. And now with nothing enveloping Kaji, he can freely control and attack him.

When they both do that. Mei is approached by Shiori who seems to be curious about her power change.

“May, you... are you that strong?”

Shiori asked in disbelief as she was also training with him and although she admitted that Mei was a genius, she still had a hard time believing the strength she currently had, especially her first attack.

“This is thanks to the ring that Riyu gave her. This makes my class increase by 2 levels.”

Mei said it showed a very beautiful ring, the original purpose of which was to keep her sword.

“That's a very powerful artifact.”

Sho said with great admiration.

The other effect that the ring gave Riyu was indeed very powerful as it made Mei currently on par with an A-grade Knight.

What if Mei was in a higher grade? Isn't that cheating enough?

‘I'll force Riyu to give me such a ring too.’

If Riyu knew Shiori's current intentions, she would probably cry because it wasn't an easy-to-get ring, especially if it wanted to have the same effect. But that's in another story.

Right now, Mei sighed and told the flaws of the ring's effect.

“But the effect lasted only a few minutes when I used it. So we'd better deal with that guy quickly.”

Initially Mei did not want to use her ring until it was pushed out completely. But after seeing Kaji's power, she changes her mind because she doesn't want to take any chances.

On the other hand, even if Mei became strong at the moment, she was still very weak if she fought with Kaji. Even that could be said to be a miracle they were able to endure to this point.

Shiori nodded in response to Mei as she also prepared to help them with some of the best support.

.

.

On the other hand, not far from them, Riyu was currently feeling an uneasy feeling, and that was coupled with some information he received directly on his mind.

Now he understood why he could not be bothered by anything during the system upgrade.   Because it was quite risky to accept everything he received while he was fighting.

.

.

The time of a few minutes felt extremely slow as Mei and the others continued to fight. Yami had also started fighting as she quickly recovered thanks to Shio.

Her powers were quite useful back then as she managed to interfere with some of Kaji's senses and abilities. But it did not last long as Kaji's strength had already begun to recover and it made them desperate again.

And when his strength returned, he immediately targeted Mei. Some people try to do something, but it is in vain.

“MEI!”

Everyone screamed as Mei was about to be hit by Kaji's attack.

*BOOM*

But that's when the figure that Mei believes will definitely protect her appears.

Riyu was in front of her as she looked at her lover with a feeling of relief. The shield of light that was on his palm clashed with the black flames. And the resulting explosion was quite powerful. But Riyu did not care about the person in front of her when she saw her lover.

“Sorry late. I'll-no, we'll handle this guy.” He turned his eyes to his friends “Deliver everything to us. Right, Mei? Are you ready?”

“Ya.”
