Chapter 294: Rescuing the Womanizer 4
(Seishirou Tsugumi Perspective) (Nisekoi)
We didn't have much time to prepare a detailed plan and Monika doesn't fully know the strength of the enemies, so we had to improvise.
First, we headed to the level above where the cultivators were.
The floor and walls were reinforced with top-quality materials making them extremely heavy.
Although the materials were excellent, the support points that supported the underground structure had minor flaws.
These flaws were so minor that a super earthquake couldn't damage them, but Minene has an abnormal talent for using explosives.
With Monika's help, Minene made the necessary calculations to cause a landslide to crush the cultivators who were on the level below where we were.
Although the enemies are potent cultivators with the strength to take on gods, in this place their skills are restricted so being crushed by reinforced rubble should be enough to kill them, or at the very least, they should receive serious injuries that prevent them from fighting.
Monika made precise calculations not to crush Luis since his skills are disabled and it is dangerous to hurt him in his helpless condition.
In addition to the rubble, I took out various poison gas bombs and explosive bullets.
The plan is to bombard the cultivators with the most firepower before they can fight back.
The worrying thing was that Miss Yui has a sixth sense ability that helps her predict the outcome of odds in bets and plans, but in this place, her abilities are restricted, so she couldn't see if this plan would work out. We were only able to prepare for any problem and face danger in order to save Luis.
Luis infected me with his pessimism and a part of my mind already assumed that this plan will fail, so I talked to Revi.
In case the enemies aren't killed, she should find Luis and get him out of here while I buy some time.
I'm the strongest fighter in close combat, so maybe I can survive a couple of minutes against those enemies.
Death doesn't scare me, I'm just afraid of losing the people I love.
I pushed all useless thoughts from my mind and we prepared to attack.
We destroyed the ground to crush the cultivators on the lower floor and started attacking.
Balalaika, Minene, and I threw the poison gas bombs, and at the same time, Revy, Paula, and Eda fired using the explosive bullets.
Miss Yui had the most important job. She has a skill that allows her to manipulate luck and thus increase the chance of success on this mission.
Using Lucifer's blessing puts a lot of stress on her mind and body, plus this place nullifies the blessings of Higher Entities, so she had to concentrate to use a small fraction of that power.
This is the first time that we have worked as a team, but we managed to coordinate perfectly as if we were soldiers who have fought together for a decade.
Even the impulsive Revy stuck to the plan and caused no trouble.
Therefore, it was disappointing that our efforts were in vain...
Collapsing the ground, we start shooting and dropping the poison gas bombs.
Despite our excellent aim, we only managed to hit the weakest enemies, the boy named Lin Yi and doctor Lin Dongfang.
We didn't even give them fatal injuries. Lin Dongfang managed to close his own and Lin Yi's wounds with acupuncture. Although his bodies still had bullet wounds, they were no longer bleeding and could fight without any problems.
On the other hand, Yang Ming and Li Baishan didn't even get a scratch.
Yang Ming used a dagger to intercept each bullet while Li Baishan was protected by an expressionless woman.
According to the information gathered, she is Anqing Beixi. She is Li Baishan's secretary and is not really human, but a kind of corpse-puppet.
(Author's Note: Anqing Beixi from My Beautiful Teacher)
The reports said that she is weak and we don't pay attention to her, but in reality, she has a high level of martial arts.
If Luis saw me, he would hit me on the head for making the stupidest mistake, underestimating the enemy...
I didn't have time to feel regret since Yang Ming attacked us. The poison didn't even hurt him and he just frowned as if he had smelled something unpleasant.
Yang Ming's body is absurdly strong even though his skills are restricted, bullets couldn't even hurt his skin. That man's martial arts level is not something that humans can reach, he is a monster...
We couldn't even touch the ground to try to defend ourselves. Yang Ming attacked us when we were halfway down.
In this group, I'm the one with the strongest physical strength so I tried to stop the enemy, but a single kick to my abdomen was enough to throw me into a wall.
At the last moment, I was able to protect myself with my right arm and the combat suit helped me lessen the impact, but my bones were broken.
My humerus still works, but my radius and ulna bones were crushed, I also have a broken rib, and I think I have a concussion since my vision is starting to blur...
My back is also injured as I was thrown against the reinforced wall with such force that the wall has cracks.
It took me a couple of seconds to regain the ability to perceive my surroundings, and what I saw was worrisome.
The medic Lin Dongfang moved his hands to create a flow of air to dispel the poisonous gas.
Revy tried to stab Yang Ming, but her reaction speed wasn't enough.
Even Paula's excellent kinetic vision couldn't follow Yang Ming's movements.
Revy, Paula, Eda, Minene, Balalaika and Miss Yui. They were all lying on the ground with various fractures.
Yang Ming didn't try to kill us, he stopped attacking us seeing us badly injured, and smiled arrogantly.
"That was it?" – Yang Ming had the expression that conceited people usually do when they are sure of victory. – "Tch, the brat has good women, but you are only porcelain vases that are not good for fighting"
Luis many times allowed himself to be humiliated so that the enemy would lower their guard and thus it was easier for him to kill them.
The problem is that Yang Ming's reaction speed is superhuman and I don't think I can do a sneak attack.
"Now that I see them well... Heh, they're not bad" – Yang Ming held his chin while looking at us unpleasantly. – "It is a waste to leave such beautiful flowers in a pile of manure, better be my women and I will show you what it is to be with a real man, not like that stupid brat"
I'd rather die than let this asshole lay a hand on me...
In a compartment on my belt, I have an injection of a body-strengthening drug.
This is one of the secret items used by Luis' subordinates. It allows a normal human to face supernatural entities such as ogres or minotaurs, but this is only for emergencies as it pushes cellular activity and neural processing to the limit.
Using this reduces life expectancy, and while that can be fixed with magic or other drugs, the problem is that the effect only lasts for one hour, after which the person will fall into a state of extreme weakness for a month.
I don't think this is enough to defeat the enemies, but if I can ignore my survival instincts, maybe I can distract them so Revy can rescue Luis.
It was a good life, although I would have liked to spend more time with Luis and Ojou-sama...
"Hahaha don't make me laugh, you fucking asshole! Your face is so stupid that I want to throw up, and I'm sure your dick is so small that a magnifying glass is not enough to try to see it "- Revy tried to stand up while she laughed like a crazy person. – "Only an idiot bitch would want to be with an idiot like you... Do you only know how to seduce women with threats? Are you a rapist? Ha, fucking loser."
What is that idiot doing?!
That man is obviously a temperamental and conceited person!
...
I've known that crazy woman long enough to understand what she's doing.
Like me, she does not fear death.
Revy had one hand behind her back and in it, she held a grenade.
Words and gestures were unnecessary, it was easy to understand what she wants to do. She thinks of committing suicide to hurt the enemy and give me time to rescue Luis...
I dislike Revy, I never agreed with her way of solving her problems and seeing life, I also admit that I am jealous that Luis seems to have more fun when he is with her than with me...
Despite everything, I dislike the idea of seeing her die, but I can think of no other option.
As expected, Yang Ming's face turned red with fury. He grabbed Revy's neck and lifted her up.
Although he could break Revy's neck with ease, he wants to make her go back on her words.
"You bloody disgusting bitch! You are courting death!" – Yang Ming seemed to be making an effort not to kill Revy by accident.
Revy unlocked the explosive and held it tight. She showed no fear, she just had a sneer despite not being able to breathe.
I prepared myself to use the strengthening drug. When the grenade goes off, I have to use my enhanced strength to run to the room where Luis is and get him out of here.
The door to the room is a couple of meters away and the enemies stopped paying attention to it. I only have one chance so I can't waste it, I can't be distracted or hesitate...
I stood up and kicked the wall to gain momentum. I put all my strength into my legs to run toward Lin Dongfang.
I used so much force that I heard my knees cracking, but the pain isn't going to stop me.
Lin Dongfang was totally focused on repairing his son's internal organs, so he didn't notice when I got to his back.
With a knife, I cut off his head before he could see me.
I didn't have time to ensure Lin Yi's death so I ignored him as he continued to vomit blood.
I rushed to the steel door and hit it with all my might. My right arm was totally destroyed, but I managed to break down the door.
Inside the room, I felt my heart break from the mixture of sadness and anger...
Luis was tied to a wooden chair.
His hands were fingerless and his palms were nailed to the chair's armrests.
His legs were cut off.
His body was naked so I saw that his genitals were cut off and cauterized.
He had no hair, eyes, nose, lips, or ears.
His skin was completely covered in bruises, cuts, and burns...
Luis...
I... I'm going to kill all the damn people who did this...
I don't care if Ojou-sama cries... I will kill the members of the Bee Hive Gang...
I have to kill them all...
"Tsugumi, calm down... You are losing control of your killing intent..."
Luis?
I heard his voice, but his mouth didn't move... he doesn't even have a tongue...
I must be hallucinating.
"Don't think about it too much, an old man named Hayato taught me how to speak using vibrations generated by my throat muscles... I can speak without vocal cords or underwater..."
... Luis, you are an absurd man ...
I force myself not to cry and rush to remove Luis's restraints, but it's hard to free his hands as someone melted steel under his arms to weld his skin to the chair.
"Don't worry about my hands, I can heal when my skills are activated"
I took a deep breath to calm myself, then I broke the chair and hugged Luis. - "We have to go..."
"Who came with you?" – Luis's voice is very hoarse and I can't identify his emotions, but I think he is worried.
"Paula and Rebecca are with us, Rebecca brought some help" – I was careful not to hurt Luis, it was hard to control my current strength.
Luis was silent for a few seconds and then began to speak. – "I think help has arrived... Let's get out of here"
I nodded even though Luis can't see me and left the room.
Lin Yi fainted from blood loss, at this rate he will die.
Yang Ming keeps trying to **** Li Baishan so it's the best chance to escape.
The woman who used to be with Li Baishan disappeared, but I also don't see Revy and the other women...
"Hey Listen! Stop looking at the pair of homosexual animals and let's get the hell out of here or I'll puke!" – Navi appeared in front of my face which made me reflexively headbutt him.
"Hey Listen! Idiot woman, I am invincible muahahaha!" – Navi was unharmed and just started laughing.
"Where are Revy and Paula?" – Luis ignored Navi's nonsense and asked directly.
Navi replied happily. – "Hey Listen! The NTR female vampire took them to the basement!"
Who?
"In the basement is the spirit formation that restricts my abilities... If we destroy the core, I will be able to use my skills... But the enemies will also be able to fight so we have to hurry to attack them before they can react..." – Luis became a hero, but still prefers sneak attacks...
That part of him doesn't bother me.
Navi showed me the way to get to the basement.
My muscles are tearing, one of my lungs is failing, and my bones are beginning to break. My body is close to the limit, but I can still walk so it doesn't matter.
We got to the basement and I saw that the door was open.
"There are no enemies, you can enter..." - Luis spoke in a low voice, he seems to be very tired...
Luis always had abnormally good senses so I trust him.
I went into the basement and saw the situation.
Minene and Eda were unconscious on the ground.
Balalaika and Miss Yui were barely conscious, but they couldn't move.
Next to them, was an unknown woman. She was a beautiful woman with glasses and long black hair.
The woman seemed totally unharmed, but for some reason, she was writhing on the ground as if something was causing her excruciating pain.
Only Revy and Paula could move despite their injuries.
Both women were trying to destroy a crystal sphere that protected a silver talisman.
Next to them was the female puppet, Anqing Beixi. She stood still as a statue and remained silent as she watched the two women attempt to destroy the artifact.
"Hey Listen! Stop looking like an idiot and hit that thing! When that talisman is destroyed it will be time for revenge muhahahahahahaha!" – Navi's voice made Anqing Beixi turn to see us.
"The fairy is right, that is the core of the Heaven Crushing Fate Destroying Heavenly Formation" - Anqing Beixi spoke in a monotonous voice and pointed at the unknown woman who was suffering on the ground. – "She and I have contracts that prevent us from betraying the people who planned this, she is suffering to help the hero of Japan and I cannot take another step"
So the woman on the floor is the person Monika mentioned, the woman who helped her break into the security system... Somehow, it's not surprising that a beautiful woman is helping Luis.
I put Luis on the ground and clenched my left fist.
My right arm is useless and the muscles in my left arm are almost torn so I can't use my full strength.
"Rebecca, step aside!" - I screamed and got ready to run.
"Damn it, I told you I'm Revy!" – Revy obeyed me and moved aside.
Paula also moved so I could run with all my might.
The human brain normally regulates the force we can use to prevent us from harming our own bodies by using muscles.
Through training, it is possible to bypass the limiters of the brain, but to do so is practically suicide because the body can destroy itself.
I ignored all traces of rationality and used all my strength in a kick.
My right leg exploded from the force of the blow, but I managed to destroy the sphere and the silver talisman...
I made it...
My vision became blurry...
My body reached the limit...
I don't know if I managed to save Luis, but I no longer have the strength to fight...
"Thank you Tsugumi..." – A warm sensation covered my body while a kind voice calmed my heart. – "Rest, I will take care of everything"
I'm so happy I want to cry, I'm happy that my silly husband is safe...
The feeling of tranquility and fatigue made me give in to sleep.
I am so happy that Luis is fine...
