1070 Chapter 1070 Bang, Slam, Bap
KAT ATTACK!
—-
*Hmm… I might want to use my water transformation when I escape from this. Bang doesn’t seem to be aware of my advanced regeneration so I can use that to surprise him at so point.* Kat’s thoughts were interrupted by Bang continuing to rant, “They won’t be able to piece you back together if I kill you first!”
*Does he really think he can kill ? I thought ng and Bang, which… yeah I’ll just call him Bang. ng was remarkably tight-lipped about his real na. But what was I saying? Oh yes, he seems to think for so reason that he could actually kill . Not only am I ridiculously durable but there’s no way D.E.M.O.N.S would let soone die on a summon. I guess Bang really is the junior partner in this.*
“I find myself unimpressed by your bosting Bang. I simply don’t see a world in which you manage to kill . In fact, the only reason I got hurt is because I didn’t want ng to waste any qi. I already said it, this is a minor thing at worst, and you just seem like a braggart at this point. I an really? Using a child as a hostage? Guess you’re just a scared little rat,” Kat said with a grin, letting a bit of fire appear behind her teeth to give them a slight glow.
“Oh? A rat am I? Well if that’s the case I might as well own my rat traits. I’m willing to do what I can to take you down… so I’ll make you an offer. If you don’t move… I’ll let Feng go. Just ten seconds. Ten seconds of not moving, not using your energy, nothing. Do we have a deal?” said Bang with a wicked grin.
*Hmm… I an why not?* “As long as nobody else is getting hurt during those ten seconds I don’t see why not,” said Kat with a shrug. Bang grinned as the snow underneath her started to glow. Kat didn’t know why it was glowing, but suddenly chains appeared connecting her to Bang. Her frown deepened as they curled around them both. *What the heck?*
“It seems you’ve agreed to my little challenge. WONDERFUL!” said Bang with a sneer. Then Kat felt the ice in her wing start to move. The qi was pushing itself into her veins and Kat could feel it squirming around through her wings. It would be simple to force it out. Kat could already feel her demonic energy chipping away at the qi without any effort on her part…
But Kat could also feel herself being bound by that contract. If she moved, Kat could tell that Bang would be free to act against Feng. *Dammit. Why did he have to be Bing’s brother. I don’t really care what happens to him after all his disrespect to Bing and ng, but fine. Whatever I’ll suffer whatever this is for them. I just wish I knew how he managed to set up the contract. I’ve agreed to stuff before without starting one.*
.....
Kat did nothing. She waited, and just as the ten seconds was up, Bang activated his trap. Spikes of ice exploded out of Kat’s body. Most of them were focused around her wings and back, but he had managed to get a few as high as her neck, and down her arms. Kat found herself rather uncomfortable at the mont. The pain was quite intense, and she decided to make a move. Kat let herself explode into water, the ice crystals that had been inside her body falling in place as Kat reford a mont later, whole.
Kat did wince a bit at the cost of her little display, but it was worth it. Bang no longer had a hold on Feng but… odd… he still looked like he was holding sothing. *Wait a minute…* Kat didn’t dare glance around, but she had a guess, “What are you doing Bang?” Kat gave her voice just a bit of demonic growl to make it seem like she was angry rather than just confused.
“Well, I only agreed to let Feng go… not that I wouldn’t simply grab him again while you were reforming… nice trick by the way. Really, what did you expect? If I let the little shit get away, ng would jump straight into attacking … and we can’t have that right now. My reinforcents aren’t here yet!” said Bang with a grin, not realising that ng had already got one over on him.
Kat hadn’t been paying attention, so she couldn’t be sure where Feng was without looking around. Her current guess was that ng had pulled him to her side, but that was just a guess on Kat’s part. The real ng was standing behind her, hovering over Bing, and Kat didn’t want to give the impression she was looking around for sothing. As long as Bang knew she had True Sight, and she kept up the charade, Feng should be fine.
*The real question is, when, or if I should fight him. He’s waiting for reinforcents, he said as much which ans part of doesn’t want to drag this out… but Bing and Feng are too close. This whole place is covered in ice and I bet that if he got a bit more serious he could attack them from a distance. He’s probably keeping that as a trump card… so do I stall? I can’t see ng right now so I don’t know what’s she’s doing.
How close does she need to be to maintain an illusion that Bang can’t see through? Apparently ng is the more powerful of the two… but I don’t know how easy an illusion is for normal people to break. It just hasn’t co up. That is sothing I really should’ve talked with ng about. Do I just keep stalling? ng might not be able to send ssages just to because I’d need to be focusing on seeing the illusions again and I really don’t have the safety to focus on that right now.*
“I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised considering your profession,” said Kat with a sigh.
“Why? You trusted ng easily enough didn’t you? I’m sure she made sure to tell you about all the people she’s murdered before you tead up,” said Bang with a grimace.
“She did in fact warn that she’s not a good person,” said Kat easily.
“Not a good person? Not a good person? She’s got the highest kill count of anyone on the continent!” retorted Bang.
“I resent that. I likely have the highest body count among professional assassins, but I partook in NO genocides, and that really pads the count for quite a few psychos. I’ll accept that my count is high, but not the highest!” hissed ng.
This was a mistake on her part, as Bang hurled an ice lance straight at the sound of ng’s voice. Apparently in her anger she didn’t manage to properly maintain the illusion around her voice. ng did manage to bad the icicle away with by pulling out a hamr, but Bang wasn’t letting up. Wave after wave of spikes flew at her, covering the area nearby as well. Kat went to rush forward but Bang shook his head and jerked down towards his empty hands.
*Oh right. That’s probably why ng isn’t flinging them back at him. He’s supposed to have Feng captured. Shit… what do I do then? ng can’t you give a sign or sothing? It’d be really useful to know if I’m ant to go on the attack!*
The rain of icicles ended abruptly when one strayed over towards where Bing had been hiding and ng shot that one back at Bang. Bang, being the asshole that he was, simply raised what he thought was Feng up into the way. Of course, Feng wasn’t there to take the blow so it sliced through the air, impaling Bang in the stomach. “Ah… cheeky shit. I should’ve known better… well… my mistake. I guess I’ll just have to ATTACK YOU ALL!”
A wave of power exploded out of Bang, and then a mont later the snow started to freeze together, turning into an icy sheet even as the wind picked up and the snow seed to triple in quantity. Kat looked around, and noticed it creepy towards Bing. Shit. Kat dashed over, slamming the ground with a fist and letting her demonic fire explode around the two. Bang’s ice was diverted around them both, like high pressure water eting tougher steel. The ice did continue past Kat, but it wasn’t a major concern at the mont.
ng had moved to protect Feng, pulling him up into the air where she’d left the two unconscious cultivators. Kat had to supress a wince at that. *Woops. I seem to have forgotten about Bodeir… eh it’s fine. My contract didn’t start complaining before now so it’s probably fine… probably.*
