Planetes
3. t. Dancing with Medusa

Poseidon dodged Chylara's impromptu attack with great difficulty. It was true that he had advised the woman to vent everything that had been harbored for hundreds of years on her, but she did not expect that the impact would have left half of the Slaughter House devastated by Chylara's rampage.

"Posei, if it continues like this, Clarissa's body will be destroyed!" Elliot warned Poseidon.

「I know! But how to avoid that eye attack, ha?!」Poseidon leaped off the salto avoiding the plunge of magical weapons that flew towards him.

「Yeah, he really intends to kill me, huh?」Poseidon commented when he saw the floor he was treading melted exposed to the rain of magical weapons that missed.

"Posei, think of something, dong!" Elliot looked panicked.

「CEREWET, YOU THINK I'M NOT THINKING, HA?!」patiently, Poseidon snapped at Elliot.

"Don't kill Clarissa, huh?"

「IYA, YES, I KNOW! BASIC BUCIN!」

Bucin yell bucin. But Poseidon knew that in front of him right now was the woman he loved. But, for some reason at this time they were even fighting.

On the other hand, Chylara, who had a complete grudge against Poseidon, arbitrarily used Ryan's body and vented all her anger on Poseidon. Poseidon, who is currently manifesting, is also confused to overcome the impromptu and unforgiving Chylara attack.

「Nep, do you have some kind of heirloom or something to suppress the movement of Medusa?」pause for a moment before Poseidon adds. 「Besides 「Gorgon Breaker」」

Elliot thought hard. What could he use from the inheritance given by his brother? And which one?

「NEP, FAST!」

"I can't think that you're telling me in such a hurry, Posei!" increasingly panicked, and eventually Elliot suppresses Chylara's movements by freezing her body.

「You can't hold it with just thin ice so, stupid!」

"If it's too thick, Clarissa could die!" Elliot spoke the words of Poseidon.

「As long as she freezes, quickly find her navel, Nep!」

Elliot immediately unloaded his luggage and pulled out a shield the size of a picture frame as well as a stone as big as a shiny purple crystal ball. Poseidon's eyebrows shriveled, but he could not ask at this time because the ice that locked Ryan's body broke and saw the figure of a violent Chylara.

Oh, naw. More precisely in the form of a half-snake woman with snake hair. His skin was tanned and his eyes seemed to block with anger.

「Aduh, mampus. He even changed to his monster form.」

"Posei," Elliot threw the shield at his other self. "Use it to ward off his attacks."

Ain's twin Poseidon fiddles at the sight of the heirloom used by Elliot. Elliot sighed.

"Later the protest, now we have to take down Chylara first." Elliot closed his eyes.

Seeing that Elliot seemed serious, Poseidon could not ask anything more. A ray of magenta shone towards Poseidon.

Without thinking any more, Poseidon immediately raised his shield. The light was absorbed into the shield. Making Poseidon confused.

「Lho?」Poseidon was astonished.

Chylara in her monster form grew furious and attacked Poseidon blindly. Unfortunately all of the attacks were countered by Poseidon using his shield.

「NEPTUNE, STILL LONG, HUH?!」

"A little while!" Elliot was still gathering his Mana in the rock he was holding.

「QUICK! THAT MONSTER CAN BURY US HERE!」

"Oh, you impatient man" Elliot saw a small bright spot on the rock he was holding. "Get out of there, Posei!"

Hearing Elliot's cry, Poseidon immediately stepped aside from his position. Elliot immediately released the Mana he had gathered onto the rock he was holding.

"Where's Burst!!" soon a deep purple Mana rained down on Chylara's huge body. "SOUL DRAIN!"

The attack drained the Mana that Chylara possessed quickly and eventually collapsed on the ground. The figure goes back to Ryan.

「How?」Poseidon approached Elliot and furrowed his brows. 「What legacy is it exactly?」

"Linken Sphere connected to Medusa's Mystical Eye." Elliot explained to Poseidon. "The shield you used contained Mana Drain. So, you can absorb your opponent's Mana with it "

「It turns out that the Great Jupiter had also collected this kind of heirloom, huh? Awesome.」sarkastiknya Poseidon was yelling.

"Don't touch Jupiter's sister like that!" Elliot responded to Poseidon's words. "We'd better get Clarissa to her teacher's place to treat."

Elliot then carried Ryan on his back, carrying the girl in the disguise of the man to the car parked in the courtyard of the building that had been partially destroyed. Elliot sighed.

"The Medusa attack was truly terrifying. I don't know what's gonna happen if it's hit by a blow." Elliot mumbled slowly.

「If you get hit, even though you're immortal..Poseidon grunted softly.

"Yes, anyway." Elliot lowered Ryan's still-asleep body in the back seat of the car and he closed the door. While he himself sat on the driver's seat. "It was unexpected that the power of his vengeance was so great."

Elliot's words stopped for a moment as he started to start the car and started driving it towards Kazuto's house. Hopefully the man doesn't cut him off later.

"Hopefully after this nothing untoward happened." Elliot said in one breath.

Poseidon listened carefully to Elliot as he watched Ryan fall asleep next to him. The strange symbol on Ryan's neck, and Poseidon knew that a great disaster was coming. This is the beginning.

Unbeknownst to Elliot and Poseidon, Ryan awakens. A terrible smile was on his face.
