Hogo No Yujin (Protective Friend)
Episode 57 – Lucid & Lucia

"Tama Aoi!"

"Mizu Piasu."

Takana and Irvan put out their respective moves to attack Lucid. But since the Oni's defense was too strong due to the elements, they were both a pain and a waste of manpower.

"Ah, so bland." Lucid felt no pain from several attacks of Tanaka and Irvan. He removed a little of his stone armor, and prepared a serpent whip which was his weapon. "It's my turn now, huh?"

Lucid started swinging his whip towards his target. Tanaka and Irvan darted quickly to avoid it and occasionally they also returned to attack with physical strength, as well as their respective skills.

Being annoyed that none of his attacks were working, Takana accidentally pulled out a stronger nurse. But when he wanted to use it, he got off guard and in the end his small body was hit by a strong rope from the whip until he bounced and hit the wall of the building.

Irvan wanted to help her friend, but she suddenly felt that there was one small attack leading to her. Quickly, Irvan retreated backwards. Before long, a large needle stuck in where he was standing earlier.

The man looked up to find the hidden attacker. While Lucid who already knew the whereabouts of his sister also did telepathic communication.

"Hey .. You just shut up. He's my prey" Lucid told Lucia through their minds.

"You're taking too long" Lucia replied. "I'm worried that there'll be more trouble coming."

"Ah .. I'm playing games first. More exclamation~"

"You're this. Don't kill them. Our job is only to catch one of the Oniroshi, after that go home. Catch a lot better." In her place, Lucia again filled her rifle with needles that she had given her poisonous saliva. "It has. I'll just knock them out, and then we go home. The cat is done, too."

"Bec ... What a shitty cat." Lucid scratched his head, then again repelled Irvan's attack. While communicating, he was also still focused on his opponent whom he considered weak. "Don't just don't. Hold on again, plis~"

In the schoolyard close to the field, Bell was still hiding in one of the trees. While Dylan who had fallen on the tree had decided to stay still on his branch, he also used the leafy leaves for hiding.

"Dylan! Your darling was throwing! Would you not worry about it?" bell asked who looked panicked. He wanted to check on Tanaka, who was lying some distance away near the building next to him. But he didn't dare come out because of that Oni.

"Ah, he's strong. Maybe just another break in there." Replied Dylan who was still observing Irvan's fight seriously. But Bell's rant under the tree had made him a little furious.

"Irvan has also almost reached its limit and Oni It looks still fine. We have to do something to help them, Dylan!"

"But what can we do as ordinary humans?! We don't have special powers."

"But at least do something now! To help our friends!"

"Duh ... What should I do?!" dylan's mind was confused. He actually wants to help too. But he doesn't know what to do now.

When he noticed the fight in front of him, he saw Irvan being more nervous to attack than before. I don't know what scared him to bring out his skill again. "He ... is saving energy or ...."

"Ugh," When Irvan wanted to advance, suddenly a large needle always darted towards him. Making him have to continue to avoid it and also avoid attacks from Lucid.

Until finally, a big fist was pointing at him. Because suddenly, he accidentally used his arm to fend off and protect his face. But because of the hardness of the punch made Irvan's body pushed back and both arms became painful. He even heard a "crack" sound from his body.

Seeing Irvan's new movements, Dylan realized something. He rounded his eyes, then muttered, "He. Therefore he hesitated to strike freely because of the threat of another attack that he did not know its origin."

Dylan looked up at the sky. Irvan's avoided attacks always come from above. But in the sky there is nothing. When he wanted to lower his eyes, he accidentally found another suspicious figure on top of the third building of his school. It was next to the two buildings, its current place. Because from the top of the tree, Dylan could see the figure.

His sharp eyes began to notice the motion of the figure. Then before long, he saw the figure lifting up a sniper and pointed it down. When viewed the direction of the target, it turns out the firing direction of the weapon leads to the field. Precisely to the fight Irvan and Lucid are still going on down there.

"That's it!"

Slowly, Dylan came down from the top of the tree. His steps while jumping from the top of the tree made Bell surprised and directly hit Dylan's back. "Don't ngagetin, dong!"

In place, Takana woke up slowly while touching his right arm. He felt his body ache all because of the impact earlier. Even his steps seemed lame.

From there, he sees Irvan attempting to defeat the Oni. Takana doesn't know until when Irvan can survive. Now he can no longer help because his strength abis. So as soon as possible, he again gathered energy to immediately help Irvan.

In the middle of the field, Irvan had put out all his skills. But he still hasn't given up now. To restore a little energy, he threw a water foam, then while in the sky, the foam became bigger and bigger. Then before long, the foam dropped many water droplets until it formed a rain that Irvan made.

With the falling water, he planned to bring out something that might make it stronger. But when he wanted to shape it, Lucid suddenly hit him again. Irvan instantly crossed his arms forward and fended off the attack. He was dragged back three meters.

Once again, the man felt a tremendous pain in his arm from the blow earlier. His feet jumped backwards to keep their distance, while he wanted to bring out one new skill. But again a large needle reappeared and made Irvan's concentration so disturbed. Plus the Lucid who started getting more brutal attacked him.

The rain continues. The rain would stop when the giant froth in the sky disappeared. Irvan had to use the opportunity because rainwater and cloudy weather would support her to bring out a hidden skill. But he still could not use it as it was interrupted by the attack of his enemy.

Seeing his friend who could not attack, making Takana inspired to come back to help him. Without fulfilling her energy, Takana ran quickly over to Lucid and attacked him with physical exertion.

His blue aura again surrounded his body. Takana threw fireballs at his opponent. He will distract the enemy, while Irvan will expend his last energy which might be able to directly defeat the Oni.

"Huh, sister sucks," Lucia murmured as she saw the recovered Takana assault her brother again. He couldn't wait any longer in a fight that bored him. So inevitably, he will end it now.

The girl loaded her bullet back, then pointed her rifle towards Takana. As he had locked onto the target, suddenly something shook his body violently. The girl immediately looked back, then there was another person who had kicked her gun until it slipped from her grasp.

That's Dylan and Bell. After kicking the rifle, Dylan stepped on it with the intention of destroying it. But it can't. Just ruined it a little. Then because his efforts were in vain, Dylan decided to take the weapon and direct it to the Oni girl.

"Don't move!" dylan. Then slowly approached the Oni girl while continuing to carry the weapon which was actually very heavy. But Dylan kept forcing his body to firmly lift the rifle. Looks cool in Bell's eyes. "You're cornered now and don't bother them!"

Lucia just squinted. He is not afraid of this threat. His right hand which he had hidden behind also started to move. His fingers were controlling something.

Dylan has taken his gun. Most likely, Lucia would not be able to bother Takana and Irvan anymore. "I think I can help them now."

THE DUAR!

Dylan and Bell were shocked. Lucia is directing a mochi bomb at the back of Dylan and Bell. But because he was also shocked, the mochi he controlled failed and disappeared. Then the girl turned around. Dylan and Bell remained standing in their place. There, they saw a blue light descending from the sky.

Lucid and Lucia stopped attacking ever since they saw a huge bubble with a line of blue light descending from the sky hitting Irvan's body. The two Oni It felt a great power. Lucia communicates with her sister through their thoughts.

"I said what too? Just beat him up!" lucia resolute.

"Tch!" Lucid screeched, then suddenly, he hit Takana who was staring at Irvan. Then ran over to Irvan whose body had been enveloped by the water balls that surrounded him. With the Snake Whip weapon, Lucid slammed the tip of the whip straight towards Irvan.

But when the tip of the axe-like whip hit Irvan's bubble, a small explosion occurred that caused the ax to bounce back to its owner. Infuriated by his unsuccessful attack, Lucid again pointed the tip of the axe at Irvan. But again the result remains the same.

Shortly thereafter, Irvan opened her eyes. "Eepontaruu." Two water bubbles came to him. Quickly, Irvan grasped the two bubbles and instantly the bubble turned into two small weapons that Irvan could use.

After getting the weapon, Irvan jumps out of the bubble and shows his new appearance along with the two weapons he just got.

Half of Irvan's hair turned blue. His body was seen being fed by electric light. The weapons he got were two pieces of Keris that he named with Keris Halilintar. Now the power of the element has changed. His water element had now merged with the lightning element that he had somehow been able to obtain all of a sudden.

Irvan grasped both of his dagger that was electrified, then moved quickly to approach Lucid and immediately attacked him brutally.
