Endless Path : Infinite Cosmos

Chapter 2139: Running Wild



Chapter 2139: Running Wild

Since he was effectively immune to gravity in his current state, Vahn continued to smile even as the massive purple sword impacted the center of his forehead. This caused an even larger magic circle to appear, but, even after his relative gravity skyrocketed to more than three hundred billion times Earth's normal gravity, not even the feathers of his wings rustled.

"It's a good thing I stabilized the surrounding space. It would be rather ironic if they did themselves in by creating a black hole..."

Waving his free hand, Vahn erased the magic circle above his head before manifesting more than a hundred Gift Cards behind him. Then, with a snap of his fingers, the cards rearranged themselves to form a deck as he used his Telekinesis to draw one at random.

"Brahmandastra? Wow, and I thought my luck was bad..."

With the myths stating it was capable of burning the entire cosmos to ash, the Brahmandastra was one of the most powerful weapons in Hindu Mythology. Vahn's version took on the form of a small golden ring, but, when worn, it allowed the user to generate and manipulate golden flames capable of burning space and time itself.

Shaking his head, Vahn tossed the golden ring into the air. It immediately burst into a fiery cocoon formed from golden flames. After that, a young boy with inordinately pale skin, faded golden hair, crimson eyes, and six arms appeared in a two-toned robe of gold and crimson.

"Have fun but try not to kill or traumatize them. They've matured quite a bit but they're still a bunch of kids."

Nodding his head in understanding, the pale-skinned shota replied with a courteous, "Understood, Father." before shifting his attention to Asuka and Yo high in the sky. Weapons formed from golden fire manifested in each of his six arms, but, instead of containing the Law of Destruction, they were just normal, albeit solid, golden flames.

Since there was very little chance Asuka and Yo would be able to defeat an S-Rank Zanpakuto Spirit, Vahn decided to leave them to Brahm as he shifted his attention to Izayoi. The youth hadn't moved ever since he was sent skidding across the planetary barrier for a good 17,000km or so. He was just sitting in place was a pensive expression on his face.

"Let's see if your luck is any better..."

Drawing yet another card at random, Vahn's brows furrowed as he muttered, "Diqiu? Xiao Yun...?"

Though he was tempted to place the card back into the deck, Vahn ultimately shook his head before tossing it up into the air. Then, from within a massive amber crystal, a remarkably beautiful woman with long, earthy grey hair, matching eyes, and black horns appeared.

Unlike the majority of Vahn's Zanpakuto Spirits, Xiao Yun had a shapely figure that included large breasts, a thin waist, and plump thighs. To make matters worse, at least from his perspective, her outfit consisted of a skintight bodysuit that left very little to the imagination. Sure, she also had a rather stylish attachment to her hips that concealed her pert and shapely bottom but that did very little to conceal her other womanly attributes.

"Papa~!"

Though her appearance was quite a bit different from her sisters, Xiao Yun was just as affectionate, if not more so, than Vahn's other Zanpakuto. She had the blood of a Celestial Qilin flowing through her veins. Her true form might resemble a chimeric mix between a dragon, a lion, and a goat, but, at the end of the day, Xiao Yun was still a True Dragon.

Had he not anchored himself to his current position, Vahn might have been forced to take a couple of steps back when Xiao Yun promptly pounced on him. As for why she wasn't crushed by the 1.07-billion-times Earth's gravity, it was because Celestial Qilins represented the planets themselves. She was functionally immune to the effects of gravity as it was one of the many fundamental forces she had complete dominion over.

Patting the ashen-haired girl on her back, Vahn suppressed a wry smile as he said, "I need you to go and beat someone up for me. You should try to avoid severely injuring or killing him. However, if he says or does anything perverted...feel free to teach him a lesson..."

Nodding her head in a manner that resulted in her nuzzling against Vahn's chest, Xiao Yun replied with a chipper, "Okay, Papa~!" before releasing him from her monstrously strong grasp. Then, after spreading her senses across the entire planet, she bolted off in the direction of Izayoi. She couldn't actually fly, but, every time she took a step, it created an amber ripple in the air that allowed her to treat the sky as if it were flat ground.

Watching the buxom beauty prance away, Vahn's expression darkened as he muttered, "I swear...if that brat tries to lewd my daughter, I'm going to curse him with a magical enchantment that gives him taste buds between his butt cheeks..."

After guffawing loudly within the back of Vahn's mind, Sis wiped away a tear from her eye as she suggested, (*You could always send someone to support her. He would have fewer opportunites to take advantage of the situation if there are a dozen or so Zanpakuto bullying him.*)

"Hmmm...that isn't a bad idea..."

Though he wanted to let Xiao Yun have fun, her abilities weren't exactly suited for a confrontation against Izayoi. Her most powerful attacks relied on manipulating the terrain and gravity. The latter could prove to be effective, but, given the nature of Izayoi's Gift, there was a chance he could adapt and overcome the gravity she was capable of manipulating. Her maximum output was only around 500G. This was more than enough to deal with most foes but Izayoi was heroic protagonist whose power was derived from a Poet. In other words, his power influence reality itself, so, if he got fed up with the ever-increasing gravity, there was a fair chance he would simply become impervious to it's changes...

Thanks to her Companion making her impervious to most flames, Yo was able to go toe-to-toe with Brahm while Asuka provided support using a Japanese-style longbow. As the heiress of a traditional Japanese Clan, she had trained in swordsmanship, spearmanship, horsemanship, and archery every since she was six-years-old. The time she spent in the Game Board allowed her to hone these skills even further, as, with the exception of her Spirit, her Dexterity was her highest parameter.

"Eat this, you six-armed hooligan! Fimbul...!"

Releasing an arrow that split into six icy beams of light, Asuka was hoping to freeze each of Brahm's hands. To her credit, she was actually able to accomplish this, but, without the slightest bit of effort, Brahm was able to pull his hands free before continuing his assault on Yo. His flames might not be able to burn her in their current form but he was more than capable of smacking her around.

Seeing her attack broken in an instant, Asuka clicked her tongue before preparing another arrow as she screamed, "Freeze...!" in an authoritative tone.

Though she experienced a backlash that caused her brain to feel as though it was melting, Asuka was able to stall Brahm long enough for Yo to land an ax kick in the center of his crown. This sent the fiery Zanpakuto Spirit hurtling towards the planetary barrier at tremendous speeds, but, despite putting all her strength into the blow, Yo felt as though she had done more damage to her leg than Brahm's head.

Realizing they couldn't fight the youth head-on, Yo darted towards Asuka, who, as a result of the backlash she had received, was currently bleeding from her nose and ears. The only thing keeping her from passing out and falling towards the sky was the support provided by Abyssinian.

Offering no resistance to Yo's embrace, Asuka adopted a wry, bloodstained smile as she weakly muttered, "The next time I get the bright idea to try and command one of Vahn's Gifts, please give me a hard smack on my noggin..."

Feeling how cold Asuka's body had become, Yo's expression became fretful as she momentarily forgot the former had fused with Abyssinian.

"Don't close your eyes! Asuka...!"

Though Asuka had, in fact, closed her eyes, it wasn't because she was about to pass out or die. It was because the wind pressure made it hard to keep them open. Thus, the moment she heard Yo calling out to her, a potent pout developed across her face as she flatly replied, "I'm neither dead nor dying. Stop shouting...!"

While Asuka and Yo were busy running from their opponent, Izayoi had a cheeky smile on his face as he stood upside down on the planetary barrier. This had given him an extreme case of vertigo at first, but, after accepting that the ground was currently 'overhead', he got over it pretty quickly.

Hoving in the air a few dozen meters from Izayoi's position, upside down from his point of view, was none other than Xiao Yun. She wasn't quite sure how to go about attacking an opponent that was 50km above the surface of the planet, so, for the time being, she was just observing Izayoi with a calm and calculating look on her face.

"Well hey, hi, and hello there, pretty lady. Did you come all this way for little ol' me~?"

Though she was a little confused by Izayoi's words, Xiao Yun nodded her head before answering, "Xiao Yun came here to beat you up." as if she were stating a simple truth.

Realizing his opponent might not be 'all there' in the head, Izayoi just smiled before placing his hands into his pockets and asking, "What if I refuse to fight back? Are you going to beat someone who has surrendered...?"

Furrowing her brows, Xiao Yun's expression became visibly troubled as her Papa had taught them to never to bully their opponents. If Izayoi didn't want to fight, it wouldn't be right of her to force him. This placed Xiao Yun in quite the predicament as she really wanted to beat Izayoi up...

Seeing the conflict on Xiao Yun's face, Izayoi had to fight hard against the urge to laugh. Instead, he maintained a casual smile as he said, "You're pretty cute. How about we both take a seat and get to know one another? Who knows, we might even be able to become friends?"

Staring back at Izayoi with her greyish, clay-colored eyes, Xiao Yun contemplated his offer before directly stating, "My Papa wanted asked Xiao Yun to beat you up. He wouldn't ask Xiao Yun to beat someone who didn't deserve it. Trying to trick Xiao Yun? You must be a bad guy."

Though the corner of his smile twitched, Izayoi managed to maintain a relaxed demeanor as he removed his hands from his pockets and said, "If that's what you think then feel free to attack. Just know that I have no intention of fighting back."

While he considered himself a champion of gender equality, Izayoi would rather avoid fighting a woman if he didn't have to. He could tell Xiao Yun didn't harbor any actual animosity toward him. In fact, despite her sinful appearance, she gave off a very childish and innocent vibe. If Vahn didn't tell her to attack, he doubted she would ever go out of her way to harm another person.

Unfortunately, while Izayoi's impression was on the mark, he failed to grasp the true nature of Xiao Yun. She wasn't a person. She was a Zanpakuto Spirit whose true form resembled a pair of massive gauntlets. She had an almost instinctual desire to punch things, so, after considering Izayoi's words for the better part of three minutes, her expression hardened as she said, "Don't worry. I will not kill you."

Before Izayoi could try to talk her out of it, Xiao Yun manifested one of her gauntlets before firing an amber beam of light in his direction. This caused the smile on his face to turn wry, as, now that he had told her he wasn't going to fight back, he had basically shoehorned himself into being her punching bag...
