Rei Amatsu - Hero Of The World

Chapter 6 - Luck Breaker

~~~~~~~

Flauros was unable to respond to Sakura-sensei's combination of sword and magic attacks, and a slash of lightning struck Flauros' side, followed by electric shocks that coursed through his body.

"Good!"

Flauros' leopard face distorted in pain. However, Flauros endured the pain then pointed his sword at Sakura-sensei and dodged the attack by flying backwards.

"Gugugu, even though you're human, why don't you do it?"

“Kuh, even though I hit it, it didn't do much damage.”

"In honor of this strike, I will counter with my strongest technique!"

Flauros took a deep breath and concentrated all of his magical power in his mouth. Sakura-sensei felt that powerful surge of magical power and was frightened.

"Bad! Something outrageous is coming!"

"Buff huh!"

Flauros spewed out various kinds of ferocious flames from its mouth. On the other hand, Sakura-sensei spread a blue magic barrier in front of him like a wall. However, the flames that Flauros spewed were not strong enough to prevent it.

"Kya!"

Sakura-sensei's magic barrier shattered, and a large number of flames attacked her.

"Gufufu, my explosive breath is burning everything. There is no way for the humans to prevent this."

Flauros heard Sakura-sensei's shout and was sure of victory. However, in the next moment, a lot of magical power was felt from the burst of flames.

"What?!"

When the fire spewed by Flauros was extinguished, Rei stood in front of Sakura-sensei with Raisa on his back. Rei held his right hand forward and deployed a blue magic barrier.

"Phew. Somehow we made it in time."

Rei removed the magic barrier that had been deployed and lowered Raisa to the ground.

"Sakura-sensei! Are you okay?"

"Raisa and Rei ... why are you guys here?"

"Of course, it's for fighting high-level devils. It's dangerous to fight alone Sensei!"

"This is indeed a senseless fight, but I can't let you get involved..."

Raisa desperately coaxes Sakura-sensei.

"Fighting alone against a high-ranking demon is reckless. Let's work together to fight!"

"...I see. The main force of the Magic Defense Force will be arriving soon. Until then, we must endure it. I will be the vanguard, so the two of you need help in the rear."

"I got it!"

"Hmph. Even if the number of minnows increases a bit, what happens?"

Flauros was unaware of Rei's hidden power.

'Grand Duke of Hell Flauros, huh? Of course, it won't be easy to beat him at his current human level.'

"Then let's go! You two request support!"

Sakura-sensei charges Flauros with lightning wrapped in lightning. At the same time, Raisa releases purple magic power from all over her body and prepares to activate the magic.

“Lightning Slash!”

"I just saw it!"

Sakura-sensei released a lightning slash, but Flauros cut it easily. Then Sakura-sensei quickly left Flauros. Right after that, Raisa cast magic.

“Ice World Cocytus!”

Raisa shot the absolute zero cold air she created with her magic toward Flauros. In response, Flauros breathed fire from his mouth and countered by fighting the approaching cold. Then Sakura-sensei fired lightning magic.

"Lightning Vortex Roars!"

Sakura-sensei turned the purple magical power emitting from her body into a large amount of lightning and shot it all at Flauros. Immediately after spitting out flames, Flauros was unable to avoid the massive amount of lightning.

"Good!"

Lightning struck directly, and Flauros' entire body was electrocuted. However, Flauros didn't fall, shook his head several times, and continued his fighting stance.

'Superlative ice magic and thunder, huh? But with human-grade superlative magic, it would take more than 10 shots to defeat Flauros...'

Rei was starting to feel frustrated. After all, he couldn't fight with all his might because he was in public.

'At this rate, it looks like it will take a while. Flauros wasn't even a staff, so it would be difficult to do ten magic shots. If I put all my strength into it, I can finish it in no time.'

Thinking that, Rei clenched his fists and wanted to fight with all his might.

"Rei-kun, you're shaking..."

'Even if you have as much magical power as Sakura-sensei, it can't be helped against high-level demons.'

Raisa misunderstood Rei's soldier who was trembling with fear.

'If you can't use full power magic in front of people... use this person.'

Rei pulled out the sword at his waist and took a stance.

Ah, Rei-kun! Do you want to fight with that sword? It's dangerous to step forward! Come with me to support Sensei...”

"Ha!"

Rei didn't even hear Raisa's silence and attacked Flauros.

"Sakura-sensei!"

"Ah, Rei! Wait!"

Ignoring Sakura-sensei's restraint, Rei charged at Flauros and swung his sword lightly. In response to Rei's weak slash, Flauros tried to cut him with his sword instead of the physical barrier, but Rei skillfully changed the trajectory of his blade and slashed through Flauros' stomach. However, Rei's weak slash only left Flauros scratched.

"Rei!"

As Sakura-sensei shouted, Rei backed up to her side.

"Kuk-ku-ku-ku. Boy, it's good for you to change the sword's trajectory, but the essential slash is too light. With a wound like this..."

Saying so, Flauros showed Rei and the others his slashed stomach. The wound is gone.

"In front of my body's ability to regenerate, human power is powerless! Guhahahahaha!"

"Rei, you said you would back off and support me with magic right? Come on, back off!"

Sakura-sensei told Rei to return the sword to the scabbard at his waist and return to where Raisa was.

"Gufufu, it's time to stop playing! This time, I will bury you with my strongest swordsmanship."

While starting to walk toward Sakura-sensei, Flauros stumbled and fell forward.

"Goo! What, what? What happened?"

Confused, Flauros stood up and looked around his body to see if there were any abnormalities.

"... Hmm, there's no damage on my body. Why did I fall?"

Flauros did not understand what had happened to him.

"Well, that's fine. Come on, let's get on with it! First of all, you!"

Flauros said that as he raised his sword and charged at Sakura-sensei, swinging his greatsword. At that moment, the sword slipped from Flauros' hand and flew in another direction.

"NO!"

“Lightning Slash!”

"Guwah!"

Sakura-sensei didn't miss the chance to stun Flauros and slashed him with her lightning, and Flauros was damaged by the lightning slash.

'Anything? That devil has been acting strange since a while ago...'

Raisa felt that when she saw Flauros' movements. And when Rei returned to his side, Raisa asked him a question.

"Rei-kun. Was the demon's strange appearance caused by the sword strike just now?"

"You know"

“For example, the sensory paralyzing effect of the opponent you slashed at.”

"Now, let's keep this sword's ability a secret. This sword is too strong, and this sword will become an object of fear."

Rei's sword is called Luck Breaker, and it has the power to erase an opponent's luck. In other words, the opponent that was slashed lost his luck and became unlucky, and everything went wrong.

However, since the ability to erase luck can only be activated against opponents whose soul level is lower than the user's, there is also a limitation that the ability cannot be activated against opponents of the same rank, such as the Archangel Michael or a King-class supreme demon.

'After all, Rei-kun isn't normal. I feel Rei has something different from other people.'
