Playing With Other Supernaturals Volume 8 465 -Hestia Familias Turn

Volume 8 Chapter 465 – Hestia Familia’s Turn

The corrupted Spirits were enraged. They were enraged that their prey got away after spending so much effort to climb to the higher floors. They were more interested in Sona’s Demonic Power instead of ‘Aria’ since they thought that they could get ‘Aria’ no matter how much time passes. On the contrary, it was unknown when they could encounter the strange magic which could evolve their strength for a second time.

They corrupted Spirits looked around and only found four unknown and ‘weak’ individuals while the party of Loki Familia already disappeared, [[Nooo!!!]]

“My~, how rude. We’re your guests, so welcome us a bit.” Kisuke chuckled at the corrupted Spirits’ reactions. With a passing glint in his eyes, he looked carefully at them and said, “So it’s just empty shells…”

“Puppets, huh… Looks like the real thing is deeper in the Dungeon. Well, that’s understandable, since it came from a strange jewel that could parasite other monsters.” Yoruichi added.

“…Say, how are you figuring all of this out, nya?” Kuroka asked.

“It’s thanks to our detection and observational abilities.”

“Master, shall we start?” Medusa asked after seeing the Spirits cast a short chant fire magic to clear the ice around them.

“Medusa and I will take the one on the left.”, said Kisuke as he started running towards the corrupted Spirit on their left while pulling out the blade in his cane before it transformed into its first release form.

“Understood.” Medusa released the Mana she had been saving and she returned to her former stature of an adult and alluring woman. She also materialized her Immortal Slaying Scythe, Harpe and the nameless chains which changed into the forms of Sacred Gears as she started following Kisuke.

The next moment, Kuroka also activated her Sacred Gear, which was a red whip sword, and started running towards the other corrupted Spirit while Yoruichi could only sigh after grabbing the handle of the kodachi behind her, “Haahh… I guess I need to get used to this… Byakko.”

The instant she called out her Zanpakuto’s name as she pulled out the blade, it transformed into white light and wrapped around both of her arms before forming gigantic metal claws that constituted as fingers.

This was the biggest reason why she didn’t really want to use her Zanpakuto. It was so bulky that she had to lift her arms so that it wouldn’t be dragged on the ground as she runs and so heavy that her mobility suffered from it.

Aside from that, it only had one ability and it wasn’t any kind of flashy ability like other Zanpakutos that could release sword waves or beams. Using Hakuda to strengthen her strongest point, mobility, was a lot more effective for her. However, although that single ability of her Zanpakuto was very simple, it was strong. The ability to ‘cut really well’.

To put it into perspective, anyone below Lieutenant level Shinigami would be cut down even if they used their Zanpakuto for defense. And it would only take a few hits before a Lieutenant’s Zanpakuto breaks.

Although it was still effective in Captain level battles, just cutting really well wouldn’t do any good.

The Spirits, on the one hand, did the same thing they used to defeat the Loki Familia. They both started chanting for ‘Firestorm’ while also increasing their defenses through their petals and tentacles.

Thanks to their physical attributes, the Loki Familia was able to circumvent this by forcing them to open a path. However, Kisuke, Yoruichi, Medusa and Kuroka, despite their ridiculous stats, they were only new Level 2s and had no way to match Finn or Gareth’s physical abilities until they become peak level 3’s.

They could use Ki, Reiatsu-Ki and Mana to strengthen their bodies, but that would only put a strain on them and could only be used for a limited amount of time. But that didn’t mean that they had no way to counter this.

Kisuke just smirked and pointed his left palm at them, “Such messy control of Mana.” A pulse of magic power then emitted from his palm and as it reached the chanting Spirits, *Boom*.

Kisuke disrupted their flow of Mana with his own, resulting in two explosions occurring due to Ignis Fatuus, “I’ll take care of their magic. So it’s playtime~!”

Without their enemies’ magic out of the way, they only had to take care of the tentacles. But these tentacles were equivalent to Level 4 and Level 5 monsters. Since their real strength was sealed to make a way for their Falna to grow, their physical defenses were at their lowest, so a hit from them wouldn’t be good.

The four of them started dodging the tentacles and even with Kisuke’s sword waves, he could only cut a few small ones. However, this was precisely what they wanted, the struggle for victory.

This was also the best scenario for Yoruichi to practice her maneuverability with her Zanpakuto.

The group would ‘play’ with and infuriate the corrupted Spirits for a long time…

If someone were to see four Adventurers, who only moved as fast as a normal Level 3 Adventurer, playing around with terrifying monsters that could easily defeat an army of Level 4s, they would shudder and question their world view.

On the 50th floor, in Loki Familia’s camp, everyone from the dungeon diving party, except for Sona, Aika, Koneko, and Riveria, gathered in the main tent despite their injuries.

Everyone was quiet until Riveria and Anakitty entered the tent, “How are they?” Gareth asked.

Riveria shook her head and said, “We’ve healed any visible injuries but they won’t wake up. Their breaths are shallow and their pulses are weak.”

“Couldn’t you continue using your healing magic?” Finn asked.

“I could, but Line stopped me.”

Finn furrowed his brows and continued, “Line? Why?”

“She told me that it could be dangerous to heal something without even knowing what’s wrong. And in some cases, it might actually do more harm than good.”

Finn and the other’s eyes widened, “She did?”

“Yes. She’s currently studying healing methods under Kisuke Urahara and suggested that we bring them to the surface as fast as possible so that Kisuke could take a look at them.”

“What do you think?”

“We take our leave immediately,” Riveria answered.

Finn closed his eyes and muttered, “I see… But you know that we can’t do that. We need to rest for at least a day before we could leave safely.”

Riveria could only stay quiet and sit down in a free spot.

“Uhmm… Captain, can you tell me what’s going on?” Anakitty suddenly asked.

Finn then proceeded to tell her what happened on the 59th floor. And using this chance, Gareth, Bete, Tiona, Tione, and Lefiya also told everyone what they saw on the 58th floor.

“A transforming weapon? A weapon that appears out of nowhere? A piece of strange equipment that emits flames? And chantless magic?” Anakitty asked with a twitching face. If she didn’t hear it directly from the top executives of her Familia, she would never believe such claims. No, even now, it was very hard for her to believe their words. She wanted to ask if they were just messing with her, but she was afraid that it was actually true.

Finn smiled wryly and said, “I know what you’re thinking, but you don’t have to worry. If we did not witness it first hand ourselves, we wouldn’t believe it either.”

Anakitty was curious about everything they just said, but she was particularly interested in two points, “You did say that you suddenly appeared on the 50th floor from the 59th floor, but how is that possible?”

Finn first looked towards Riveria and saw her shake her head before answering Anakitty, “We don’t know what happened. What we know, however, is that it happened because of some unknown magic.”

“Then what about Sona Sitri casting an ultra-wide spell that changed the terrain of the whole floor? Even Riveria-sama shouldn’t be able to do something like that and it’s a chantless magic to boot.”

“That… We don’t know…” Riveria answered, “But I recalled her calling her magic ‘The magic of a Devil King’.”

“Devil King…”

Corner:

28th00: And so the LEGEND SHALL SPREAD! Sona will wallow in agony from the embarrassment if her precious onee-sama ever hears about her chunni speech that was said in absolute seriousness! Right before using her own signature attack too! Oh, Serafall would probably faint in happiness from that alone!

Alexander: As far as I remember, Kisuke gave them some protection talismans or so. I wonder if there is a hidden record function in order to make the Urahara family album (black history included).

28th00: Oh, definitely. It ain’t their family if they don’t blackmail each other for stupid reasons! Hestia(Mostly because she’s too kind) and Ophis(She wouldn’t even comprehend blackmail, and if she did…) excluded.

Goyya: Hehehe. Blackmail materials acquisition never stops~!
