Another Place
Chapter 35: Breaking up Asa

Shi, who had defeated Ayaka, Michael, Mikael, and Wisang, temporarily headed toward the struggling Russel and Urami.

"Am I late?" Said Shi who had just arrived at the location.

"No, you came at a pretty good time. I'm surprised it turns out this kid is pretty strong too." Urami

"Yes, like I said before. Your magnetic power can't be used to pull the weapon, so to deal with it, it looks like I'll have to intervene directly." Shi Said

"Haha. okay.." Urami

'What?! Did Ayaka, Michael, Mikael, and Wisang get defeated by Shi? That fast their fight? How strong is he really?'

Many questions arose in Russell's mind.

"Alright, now you're alone." Shi Said

"Sad.." Russell

"I offer you one more time, do you want to get this done quickly? You just have to hand the legendary weapon over to us and after that we won't bother you and your friends anymore." Shi Said

"How many times have I told you that I will not hand over this legendary weapon to you without a fight. We're gonna save this world from people like you who don't think about the fate of anyone else out there that you're invading." Russell

"Currently, a child like him seems to need to be taught a lesson." Urami

*Urami wanted to attack Russell immediately, but Shi held him back so he could remain patient.

"Wait a minute, Urami." Shi Said

"Hmm. okay.." Urami

"Have you ever experienced despair?" Shi told Russell.

"Why are you asking about it?" Russell

"Nothing, I just want to hear your opinion of despair." Shi Said

"Hmm. I think everyone must have experienced such a condition." Russell

"True, then why can you still be here now to fight us. What confidence do you have that you can hold on to and stick to your principles?" Shi Said

"Hmm. that makes me still able to survive until now certainly can not be separated from the support of my friends, parents, and people who are around me. As humans in general, of course, despair always comes at times that we do not expect. To be able to pass it is something that can be said is not easy and not a few humans who give up on it. But to myself, I still have many responsibilities and obligations that I have to fulfill in my life." Russell

"What are those responsibilities and obligations?" Shi Said

"Of course I can't explain one by one, which must be my responsibility right now is to keep the legendary weapons from falling into your hands." Russell

"Sad, how arrogant this kid is.." Urami

"Please calm down, Urami." Shi Said

"Didn't you waste too much time talking to this kid?" Urami

"I've predicted all this." Shi Said

"Hmm. okay." Urami

"Now I will ask you." Russell

"What?" Urami

"All right, what's your question?" Shi Said

"What is your purpose in doing all these things? You invaded another dimension only to collect legendary weapons from the innocent. Until you came to our world today, messing with our normal lives, to destroy our school building. What exactly are you planning?" Russell

"Our goal is to make the universe awake in eternal peace, under the leadership of Shadow." Shi Said

"But why should you disturb the peace that already exists in another dimension, even now in our world? Is that the same as destroying your own goals?" Russell

"What does a boy like you know!! This mission was given directly by Mr. Shadow. You have no right to destroy our cause." Urami

"What kind of peace can be obtained from destruction?" Russell

"It's too long, Shi! I'll attack him! This kid is too arrogant!" Urami said, running quickly towards Russel

"Urami!! Wait up!!" Shi Said

"That's fast?!" Russell

He attempted to fend off the disc with his Sacred Black Staff, but failed because Urami's extremely high disc speed could not be held back by Russell.

"Akhc!!" Russell

He fell backwards.

Not stopping there, Urami who was still running was about to slash Russell.

"What-what?!" Russell

"Feel this despair!!" Urami

"Huh...." Russell said when he saw the exact position of Urami in front of him, and was ready to slash him.

"Out of your history, boy!!" Urami

*CAT

Instantly the disc held by Urami slipped out of his hand.

"WHAT?!" Urami

"RECEIVE THIS!!!" Say Ayaka who turns her Kusharigama

He suddenly came from behind Urami and immediately slashed at him until Urami bounced far enough away.

*BRUKKKK...

"AKHMU... Sh-fucking.." Urami

"Urami!! You're okay?!" Shi Said

"Well, you came at the right time, thank you.." Russell

"It's okay.it's thanks to you buying time for us to recover and get here right away." Ayaka

"Let me help you stand up, Cell." Mikael

"Oh thanks, Mik." Russell

"Haha.my energetic shot hit the disc huh.." Rafael approached them.

"Well, you're cured, Raf?" Wisang

"Well, not yet, my legs are still limping." Rafael

"So the attack that saved me earlier from you huh.." Russell

"Well, that was almost. Fortunately, my energy shot did not miss and hit the disc until it was thrown. Ayaka kept coming at the right time, before Urami realized what was going on. Ayaka was directly behind him and slashed him to the thick." Rafael

"Well, that's what I want to tell you. Do not allow your enemies to get the least amount of time to be able to set strategies and think about next steps. Because if your enemy can buy time, it's a big mistake that the enemy will be able to directly use to counterattack." Russell

"Well, maybe it has a point.." Wisang

"Yes, now we're together again. Are we taking them out now?" Michael said

"Their actions are too restrictive." Mikael

"I'll tell you what despair really means." Wisang

.

Russell manages to buy time by talking to Shi and Urami, which allows Ayaka, Michael, Mikael, and Wisang to move again and help him at the right time. Along with that, Rafael who has improved his condition can also return to fight. Conditions now turned around, the desperate Shi and Urami did not seem to have much chance of being able to escape.
