As the rest of the team that consisted of Kazuma, Regina and Yuji went on by running and jumping on trees at insane speeds, Kazuma asks "Does anyone here know where to find the person we are to kill? Lord Fugaku just told us that we were to go to the base of the cult and kill the cultists, he didn't say anything about the leader.". Yuji nor Regina responded, Yuji was bumbed out that he left his friend behind, Regina also felt bad. She looked behind and thought to herself "I'm sorry Volt. You are a friend and teammate of mine, but yet I still left you behind thinking you can handle the problem. Please, forgive me, okay?". Volt on the other hand was standing with his head bleeding, left arm burnt and was battered with electricity sparking all over his body like he was a faulty wire. Volt raised his head up with a deranged smile on his face "Don't you worry about me you guys. I've never felt better!". As the trio for the mission kept running along, a giant spike that was red in colour shot out of the darkness from the far front of the forest. Kazuma, Regina and Yuji spotted this and dodged immediately, the spike missed them and then wiped out a large number of trees behind. Kazuma was annoyed, he clicked his tounge "Now who is it?", Yuji immediately sensed something, he alarted Kazuma "KAZUMA! ABOVE!". Kazuma immediately dodged the figure that fell down to him with crushing force, the figure crashed to the ground and caused a huge explosion that took down a large number of trees. Regina thought to herself "What was that?". Suddenly, huge rapid fire spikes came flying from the abyss, the team immediately started to run and blitz around the place at tremendous speeds while trying their best to dodge the spike that was flying at them from below. As they were dodging for their lives, Yuji was visibly annoyed, he drew out his daggers and sent a powerful slash of blue energy towards the spikes flying towards himself and his team from below. An explosion of blue energy that resembled flames had occurred, Yuji got annoyed as more of the spiked came flying out of the abyss, but this time, they were directed at him. Yuji was stunned, Regina shouted his name "YUJI! LOOK OUT!". Yuji's eyes started glowing blue "Fucking hell!", he muttered with anger. He started to jump around and dodge the spikes as fast as possible while the spikes were destroying the forest around them. Not just that, he was sending a furry of powerful slashes of energy with his daggers. Explosion of energy were all over the place as spikes were tearing through trees and the ground, and Yuji's energy slashes were causing powerful explosions of energy as well as tearing through everything around them. Regina and Kazuma were weaving through the explosions as fast as they could. Regina looked above "YUJI! ABOVE YOU!", Yuji stood on a tree branch and looked above and saw the assassin who had attacked them earlier falling down towards him at devastating speed. All Yuji could do at the moment was block as the assassin flew down at him and crashed him to the ground with a drop kick. The crash was able to uproot a large number of trees and sent some trees flying around. Yuji and this assassin were going clash for clash. He was using his daggers to send slashes and combat her at close range, this female assassin on the other hand that was wearing a purple assassin costume was using a red spike the size of a sword to combat with him. As the fight went on like this, Kazuma and Regina flew down like rockets to help him "YUJI!", Kazuma flew down as he stretched his hand to him. The female assassin spotted Kazuma and jumped out of the way as he crashed to the ground and caused an explosion of debries all over the place. As the smoke was everywhere, shurikens made from purple energy started flying out of the smoke screen. The female assassin started to dodge as fast as possible as the shurikens made from energy was causing huge explosions that would level entire city blocks in seconds. This assassin had no emotion in her eyes, it was like as if she was controlled. As she kept weaving and dodging, her spike turned into a huge hand gun that was attached to her entire hand. The hand gun looked like it was made from red spikes and was ready to shoot. As she pointed the gun, out of the smoke from behind came out Regina. Her eyes were gleaming purple as she held a hammer made from her purple energy and was ready to slam the head of this assassin. The female assassin turned back and shot a huge spike out of her gun at her. The spike was ten feet long and was shot at close range at Regina's head. Regina spotted the attack that was about to pierce through her head and tilted her head. She activated her spirit mark (Triangle with two dots.), and then slammed the hammer of energy at the arm of the female assassin. This caused a huge explosion of purple energy that took out a large part of the trees around them. The assassin jumped back with the hand she used to create her spike hand gun, being broken. Regina started to charge up a devastating amount of purple energy, balls of energy started to surround her "TAKE THIS TO THE FACE AND DIE!", she exclaimed with anger. The balls of energy started to fly at the female assassin at a speed almost as fast as lightning. The assassins started to weave and dodge for her life, still no emotion in her eyes. Suddenly, amist the chaos, Kazuma appeared behind the assassin, a huge amount of energy gathered on his hand and formed a drill of purple energy. Kazuma's eyes and arm were filled with purple energy, he then blasted his attack at close range at the opponent, this caused a devastating explosion of purple energy that incinerated the ground and sent trees flying. As the explosion occurred, the female assassin jumped out of the explosion of energy, but she met Yuji in front of her. Yuji was prepared to kill her, his daggers were already infused with a tremendous amount of blue flame-like energy, he sent a powerful slash of energy that took out a large amount of trees in an instant. Ultimately, the female assassin dodged the attack and started clashing with Yuji all over the air. Eventually, after a skillfull clash of daggers and spikes, the female assassin kicked Yuji straight to the ground. Kazuma and Regina came flying at her and were ready to blow a whole through the assassin, but this female assassin turned around both of them and kicked them straight to the ground, they landed beside Yuji with an explosion of debris. As the smoke was clearing, Kazuma was slowly rosing, along with Yuji who had the help of Regina to get up. Kazuma asked "Are you guys okay?", Regina replied "Do we seem okay to you?", Kazuma replied "Jeez I was only asking.". Yuji replied Kazuma with his usual edgy attitude "If you had asked me that question, I would have given the same answer.", Kazuma clicked his tounge "Fuck you!". Regina then asked "So? Who's going to kill this bitch?", Kazuma said with mild excitement "I will.", Yuji then disagreed "No, I would. There's no telling what's at front waiting for us. If I go with you both, I'll drag you down. My left leg hurts, but I'll try my best to keep up and join you guy.". Regina was worried "No, Yuji. You can't.". Meanwhile the female assassin had already fixed her arm and pointed her hand gun of spikes at the kids without them paying attention. Yuji argued "I have to stay, you guys go.", Regina seemed very worried "No! You'll die!". Kazuma and Yuji immediately spotted a huge number of spikes floating all over the place and aiming for them "LOOK! I SAID GO!", he yelled at Regina, this made her shocked. The large number of spikes flew at them at an insane speed, Yuji transferred a large amount of energy into his daggers and sent a wave of energy at the attacks flying at him and his team. A devastating explosion occurred due to the clash. Kazuma dragged Regina "Yuji! Don't you dare die. If you do, then I won't forgive you!", Kazuma shouted as he flew off while grabbing Regina. After they zoomed off at top speed, Yuji looked at them and turned to his front, his daggers were held tightly on his hands. His opponent walked through the blue flames cause by the explosion of Yuji's energy, she pointed her gun of spikes at him. Yuji just smirked "Okay, now I see. I totally get it now. You're dead and your body is being mind controlled. Don't worry, I'll take you out of your misery!"
