Chapter 120: Speak For Us!
Ed and his companion charged at the white tiger. It might look like a dirty way of fighting, but Ed wanted to move to the next floor. He already spent a couple of months of his time, and he would spend even more. Baekho was tense seeing the group of 'monsters' charge at him. If Ed knew that he was categorized as a monster, he would be heartbroken. On top of his friends, now even monsters would call him a monster.
"You damned humans!" Baekho seemed to take matters more seriously and charged at them as well. Ed who was at the front of the group started the fight with a flying slash. However, Baekho dodged it by side-jumping to the left. In return, Baekho seemed to charge his claws with something as he swung with his front left leg. It was the same thing as Ed's flying slashes, except it was enhanced with some type of magic. Baekho seemed to be using the light or holy magic. Same thing as the type Suika can use.
"Leave it to me." Sieg took the front and blocked the incoming attack for Ed and the other. Not a single dent in his barrier even after taking the attack head on. The difference in cultivation didn't seem to bother Sieg. "Grrr" Baekho seemed to be on edge due to the constant display of abilities by Ed's team. As soon as he looked like he lost focus, a red flying slash that looked like a cone made its way towards him. Baekho regained his focus and dodged the attack, but not without being injured. His snow white fur was now decorated by a little bit of red near his right shoulder.
Baekho looked towards the one who used such an attack on it and saw that it was Goburou. It was his special attack, but a rather humble version of it. Goburou and the others managed to level up as well on this floor, making their abilities a little bit better. Once more, as soon as he lost focus, he was attacked. This time it was Gobuta who impaled the ground with his greatsword and swung towards the white tiger. The earth was pulled out with the flying slash, and Baekho had to dodge the slash and the rocks that accompanied it. Garu also joined in on the fun, using Ice and Fire to corner Baekho.
Looking like he had enough, Baekho's body glowed in white. Not a second later he looked like he was about to explode. "Enough!" Blinding light exploded out of the tiger's body. This was similar to the skill that Alicia used on Ed in the tournament, only at a much larger scale. Everyone present lost their ability to see, other than Baekho. "Now it's my turn!" Baekho charged towards Sieg who was the closest to him and wanted to break his barrier. However, before he could reach him, he felt an aura enveloping him. "You won't get your turn." Before Baekho could register what happened, Ed was already in front of him.
Ed used his En to pinpoint the position of the white tiger, as well as Observation Haki to feel his next move. The rest was easy, he simply teleported in front of him in order to hinder his plans. "A weakling like you shouldn't stand in front of me!" Apparently, Baekho considered Ed to be weak. He didn't know that out of all those present, the most problematic one to fight is Ed. "I already dodged that attack!" Ed used a flying slash once more, and Baekho seemed to dodge it. Yet, he was still injured. With a confused look on Baekho's face, he looked towards Ed as if demanding an explanation. "I wouldn't tell you how I did it now would I?" Ed only stated the obvious.
As the fight dragged on, Baekho was getting filled with injuries. Since he didn't have a troublesome ability like Sieg's barrier or monster summoning, he didn't pose many problems. Once more, his body glowed in a white blinding light, but slightly different than last time. "You will all die!" Baekho screamed confidently while seemingly exploding.
"It won't work a second time." The voice that sounded this time was unlike any other. It was a deep confident, yet calm voice. It was much more collected compared to Baekho's. The one who spoke was Raikou. It was the first time his companions heard him speak so it stunned them as well.
The shadow under Raikou seemed to expand to a ridiculous degree. It covered almost 100 meters with him at the center. It was almost the same size as his En. The shadow seemed as if it was alive, wriggling around as it concentrated on Baekho. The blinding light that covered his body lowered in intensity until it was no longer there. "How is this possible" Baekho was stupefied. Yet Raikou didn't even give him the chance to calm his mind. The shadow under him seemed even livelier after absorbing the light. Suddenly, several spikes erupted out of the shadow and penetrated Baekho.
Not even giving him the chance to speak his last words, Baekho died instantly. Before being teleported by the light, Raikou caught the sly faces of his companions and knew. He was going to be teased.
After the light disappeared Raikou was waiting for the reactions. And as he expected it came.
"Why didn't you speak beforeWere you waiting for the chance to look cool?" Raikou looked towards Ed's face which seemed to be big and looking up.
"Raikou, speak once again" Similarly, Sieg was trying to tease him as well. A smile on his dead face.
"Suu! Suu!!" Suika was also encouraging him to speak. Behind her, Gobuta Goburou and Garu holding back their laughter.
After the constant demands to speak, Raikou didn't comply and ran away from them. He didn't disappear on the new floor but instead went into Ed's shadow. This way, none of them could annoy him.
"Hahaha, seems like we annoyed him!" Ed was smiling all the way while searching for a place to spend the night and check his notifications.
