Chapter 118 - Taking the Cat Back

"I'm that cat's caretaker and I'm here to bring her home because she had too much catnip and is now going crazy in this neighborhood~."

Tiamat flinched at the pressure she is emitting and her expression became more serious, "...The Devils will put a bounty on you for intruding a restricted space."

"I don't care~. You're about to kill Koneko-chan just to save that Fried Chicken, right?" Yoruichi didn't back down from her threats, on the contrary, she intensified her pressure.

Tiamat didn't say anything for a few seconds, but seeing that Koneko is about to unleash her attack, she had come into a decision. The dark-skinned lady isn't someone she could easily dealt with from her initial estimation so she took a step back, "As long as that child of Phenex is alive, you can do what you want with that nekomata."

Yoruichi eased up her pressure after hearing this and said, "That's would be the best for both of us." Without waiting for Tiamat to speak, Yoruichi used Flash Step to arrive in front of Riser instantly and faced Koneko who already threw her attack which is a 10-meter wide bluish-white ball of flame.

Tiamat was shocked yet again at her speed which is almost instant teleportation. She already saw Koneko do it, but compared to her, she's very much a toddler at this skill's mastery.

Riser started losing himself at this sight and almost lose all hope of surviving even when someone appeared in front of him to block it. Riser knew how terrifying those flames areas they feed on energy-based attacks and shields and directly blocking it with the body isn't a viable option either.

Yoruichi's expression didn't change and thought that Koneko's flames are very interesting, but it's Kisuke's job to analyze these things and she doesn't have much time, "Shunko." Yoruichi muttered and a towering pair of lightning wings appeared behind her along with six balls of pure lightning in the size of baseball circling around her.

Everyone is astounded at this sight of pure element coming to her command.

Just like Koneko, Yoruichi pointed her right arm towards the ball of fire and one of the balls of lightning went in front of her hand. Unleashing an attack of her own, a flash of lightning hit the ball of fire without anyone being able to react and scattering it throughout the battlefield.

The former Kuoh Academy now looks like a white hell. Tiamat grabbed one of the flames and inspected it. She's shocked to know that these flames are more dangerous than she thought and hand to use a sizable amount of her dragon power to expel it from her hand. She looked at Yoruichi with cautiousness, 'For her to instantly scatter that kind of flame instantly...' Although Tiamat is vigilant against Yoruichi, she also thought that she found a worthy opponent and can't help but think of clashing against her.

Without waiting for Koneko to make another move, Yoruichi took out a gauntlet and remembered Kisuke's words when she received it from him earlier, 'Use this gauntlet to expel all of the natural Ki from her body. This will damage her body for a little bit but we have no other choice as the situation is urgent.'

Wearing the gauntlet on her left arm, Yoruichi reappeared in front of Koneko with the use of Flash Step and punched her to the gut before she could react.

From Koneko's back, a large geyser of white flame erupted and hit the dome of the sky, slowly melting the restrictions and barriers placed in order to facilitate the game. A few moments, white flames entirely disappeared from Koneko but she didn't return to her former childish form and is now buck n.a.k.e.d. Yoruichi pulled out a white blanket and wrap it around the already unconscious Koneko.

While carrying Koneko in a princess carry, Yoruichi slowly landed to the ground near Riser. Tiamat is also arrived beside him and inspecting the rings of flames that haven't disappeared, "This will be a bit tricky. I didn't know those flames that came from her could be so potent. What do you call this forbidden technique?" Tiamat asks Yoruichi while looking at Riser.

"Sage Mode. It's not a forbidden technique. The kid just doesn't know how to handle it. Didn't I tell you right? She had too much catnip (natural Ki)." Yoruichi approached Riser and put Koneko on her shoulder. She then took out a knife without a handle.

"What are you doing?" Tiamat furrowed her brows and ask.

"It seems that you can't teleport him out of here without putting out those flames. I'm here to help." Yoruichi smiled and stabbed the knife she is holding in Riser's chest. Riser couldn't care less at her actions as he's trying his best to stop the white flames from spreading. A single knife couldn't hurt him anyway. Too bad, he underestimated the nondescript knife. Once its blade entered his body, it sent out a pulse of energy that stimulated all of his Demonic Power, "AHHHH!!!" And like a bomb, he exploded into his own flames, drowning Koneko's flames making it disappear entirely.

After the ordeal, Riser loses his consciousness due to the sheer pain he felt with all of his energy reserves used up in the process. The current Riser can be easily killed if he doesn't recover his Demonic Powers.

Tiamat's mouth twitches, "...H-how crude."

Yoruichi just shrugged her shoulders and started to walk away, "It's not like you have another way to do it without wasting time."

"Wait," Tiamat called out to her.

"What? Going to stop me?" Yoruichi didn't stop walking but answered.

"The name's Tiamat..."

"Yoruichi." With that, Yoruichi used Flash Step and arrive in the opening in the space that Kisuke created for her to come here. The loosened space closed as she went through it.

Tiamat's head kept ringing from all the messages that she's receiving to apprehend Koneko and the intruder but she ignored all of them. Unless it's Ajuka who directly requested for their capture, she won't move as she already secured her objective which is Riser.

Inside the StuCo room, Sona reclined on her chair while Tsubaki served a fresh tea in front of her, "To think that Yoruichi-san is this strong..."

"Yes... It won't be easy for you, Buchou. But don't worry, you don't lose in terms of charm." Tsubaki followed up.

"Hmm? What are you talking about?" Sona is puzzled with her words, but before she could process it more, Tsubaki continued speaking, "By the way, Kaichou. Won't you answer that call coming from Serafall-sama? She's been at it since earlier."

Sona looked away and took her tea, "Not now. I'm too tired to deal with her. She probably already know that I claimed Kisuke as my fiancee. I won't hear the end of it if she started."
