Chapter 9
as it seems attacks are useless. Himoto thought that if the hunter or any of her tool didn't work maybe she can beat her within a hand to hand combat. she desperately throws her weapon and geared up for a first fight. her body posture was calling the devil towards herself. as an advantage, she was the master of judo, karate taekwondo. so it's not easy to accept herself defeated. at first its a random attack. with her right hand, she strikes her out with the chop move. not much harm, but push back her body for a while. on upon that she rapidly kicks too but the girl dogged again by slightly jumping up. Himoto looked her up and try to strike her down with her moves, her left leg's slashes upwards. but don't even touch her.
Himoto now understands how much she tries
this type of fight count on her spirit to call off the demon to wipe that evil out. was now at high risk of countless failure. now the time has to come she eventually did her best.
a while after the attacks happened.
the girl runs with her four legs away from her like an ape. but it does not look like she's was running away but has something else. so Himoto followed her until they came up to a place. the place looks like a big palace, dark and very dim light was there, it's very hard to recognize details of the castle.
eventually running, she disappears from the senses of Himoto but even that Himoto tries herself to counter her down. she slowly turned her head and looked left and then right. but, no one was there. at a sudden mean time screaming of bats flown towards Himoto from the stairs upward and surrounded her.
"what is going on?"
she doesn't know what to do.
like a whip of air bats shrinks and diaper with Himoto in thin air.
all is left now is her Hunter she left behind while fight.
"tip...tip.....tip....." sounds like droplets of water disturb Himoto's ears. she was trying hard to get her senses back.
while trying to open her senses once again. she herself feel to be seen go beyond into another dimension. looked so pale dark. light even can't afford to enter the atmosphere. she was unwillingly blind, deaf and mute. her senses dry up in the air. closed eyes, face so pale and lost in the rusty dark night. inside her, heart counting to be sensitive, someone more valuable, to her it's her only Rim. she has to be brave enough to fight for self and not to lose her hope. so she can courage her dreams to come tomorrow may true.
forcefully her shut eyes stated to see a dim vision of her own body. little by little her blocked sense started to regain. it is the feeling to be alive. when her vision cleared Himoto sees herself in a condition where she was floating in the dark sky like a feather. Himoto was not surprised by that at all.
cause she knew in search of Sprite stone, various mystery and magic she can see on the way. someday she has to face such a situation, and when she sees the girl. it's a kinda hint of something going to have happened like this in the upcoming future. a void like a zone surprise one to lost in its entire s.p.a.ce. but it's not just that droplets sound was increasing from the left side of Himoto like something was rus.h.i.+ng towards Himoto. and it must be sense dangerous. Himoto now has to do something to get out of it. she rapidly concentrates to the sound,
figuring out like a figureless demon. it appears by jumping in front of Himoto. the sound of his foot crumbling earth in the first place. but when it appears. it takes formation on Her limitless fears. it takes the form of waves of the tsunami and rus.h.i.+ng towards Himoto. Himoto was very afraid of deep water, by looking at it, it is like she was drowning inside. when it's bas.h.i.+ng water touched her. the waves of the water try her pull her in. Himoto tries very hard time getting out of it. slowly she was drowning in. no matter how hard she tries to swim back, she can't make it. at finally her left hand only can be seen taken out. and whole slowly swallows by the water.
Himoto doesn't want to lose her sense again if it does happen this time, she will definitely can't survive. even her fears are big, but her warrior's spirit was vast then her fear. she knew that the demon was one of a kind whom she can't see. and it is very difficult to in such a vast wave of water. so, Himoto closed her eyes and tries to sense the creature first. about 2-3 minutes she was only listening to the sound in deep water. she was trying to hear a particular voice of the girl. for that, she has calm down first. so the voices of her friends and loved once she only has the to hear to concentrate on her goal and that was the only way to keep herself focus on the aim sound. the cold waves were freezing her body, her flesh started to crystalize. her body was moving in deep down. her hands grab her legs around and legs folded, she keeps her knees towards her chest and moving in circulation. while trying to concentrate she keeps her heart safe and sound and the listen to the voice of her own soul.
"Himoto.."
it was just like a scarted lite sound but it's the voice of her love.
"you can do it... just a little more you can win this. so, please! let all your fear comes out this time I am sure we can see better tomorrow...now look.."
then her dim vision start to keep up concentration towards her only goal.
finally the girl she heard, on the backside of Himoto trying to stab her from the back. eventually, Himoto swiftly opens her eyes and smash with her rotating left leg kick.
it was so hard for her to keep herself focus. but
she kicks her b.u.t.t.
