Chapter 146 Team Battle
Edited by: Kanaa-senpai
Except for Sakagami Akino, the personalities of the other girls all leaned toward the fierce and daring side.
The Gyaru trio, along with Shinomura Yuki—who had once disguised herself as a blond punk to target Aki—went without saying.
Miyajima Sakura had also honed her skills in Kendo, meaning she possessed an equal lack of hesitation when it came to lethal decisiveness.
Even Obata Yui and Shinohara Misaki were both powerhouse players from the basketball club, whose sheer aggressiveness on the court regularly turned heads.
Gazing at the eleven beautiful young women filling the room, Miura Akira (Ming)’s eyes turned crimson with envy.
The intense, burning jealousy he felt made him subconsciously ignore the bizarre anomalies that Aki was currently displaying.
”You three lords, hurry up and make your move!” Miura Akira said. “A bounty of beauties like this will keep us entertained for a long time. If we take turns playing with them…”
”Shut up, you idiot,” one replied.
Miura Akira had completely lost his sanity to rage, but the three B-rank Youkai certainly had not.
As Hamazaki Reina and the others fully unleashed their overwhelming auras, the expressions of the three monsters turned utterly dark.
Eleven B-rank extraordinaries, and every single one of them a staggering beauty.
Under any other circumstances, the three Youkai would have been ecstatic.
But when a crowd of such remarkably powerful girls stood before them as enemies, their hearts instantly sank directly to the bottom of a valley.
By now, the trio finally comprehended Aki’s bizarrely calm behavior, as well as exactly what that camcorder was being used for.
Their target this time was not an ordinary human at all.
Instead, they were dealing with a monstrously powerful entity whose true strength they could not even perceive—meaning he was at least an A-rank powerhouse.
The moment he realized the danger, the man wearing the gold-rimmed glasses immediately dialed his boss’s cell phone.
He was bypassing everything to alert the Miura Corporation’s sole A-rank Grand Youkai.
Aki watched this entire sequence play out before his eyes, but he made absolutely no attempt to step in and stop it.
The necessary justification was already securely in his hands.
From this point onward, it was merely a matter of deciding exactly when he felt like destroying them.
Everything the opposing side tried to do now was completely futile; like grasshoppers at the end of autumn, they were dead men walking and wouldn’t be jumping around for much longer.
”Alright,” Aki said. “The barrier has been fully deployed. You may begin.”
The moment Aki issued the command, the eleven beauties split up into their respective small factions, perfectly matching themselves against the three B-rank Youkai.
The Takamine family mother-and-daughter trio took on the Nue.
Hamazaki Reina’s group of four confronted the muscular powerhouse.
Meanwhile, Miyajima Sakura led Obata Yui, Sakagami Akino, and Shinohara Misaki to handle the man in the gold-rimmed glasses.
Aside from the three members of the Takamine family, the coordination of the other two tactical groups was exceptionally precise.
Two members drove the primary assault, one managed specialized reconnaissance and analysis, and the final member provided dedicated support.
The arrangement allowed every single girl to perfectly capitalize on her individual talents and unique abilities.
Though the three B-rank Youkai possessed far more actual combat experience than the young women, they were utterly overwhelmed by the relentless, coordinated siege.
Worse still, they had to contend with Aki—an entity of unknown but terrifying strength—watching over the entire battlefield to hold the line.
Before long, the monsters fell completely into a disadvantage, finding it exhausting even to maintain a basic defense.
The Nue was suffering worst of all; pitted against a mother and her daughters who operated with a flawless, telepathic level of tacit understanding, he found himself breaking down within a mere matter of minutes.
This became heavily pronounced as the Takamine mother gradually allowed her combat instincts to take over, bringing her immense mana affinity² talent into full effect.
Slammed squarely by another blast of the Takamine mother’s crimson flames, the Nue rolled miserably across the ground in a frantic attempt to extinguish the heat.
”What are you worthless bastards just standing around for?!” the Nue roared. “Get the hell in here and help us!”
The men in the black suits exchanged hesitant glances with one another.
They had witnessed clashes between extraordinaries on plenty of occasions, but they had never seen a battlefield on a scale as massive as this one.
In the middle of such a chaotic melee, the slightest misstep meant they would likely lose their lives in an instant.
Yet, after wavering for a brief moment, they ultimately chose to throw themselves into the fray.
A small fraction of that choice came down to their professional obligations, but the overwhelming motivator was their terror of how the three Youkai would savagely punish them later if they disobeyed.
Of course, a deeply buried, degenerate fantasy also flickered to life within their minds—the delusion that if they somehow won this fight, they might be allowed to claim a piece of the spoils afterward.
The eleven beauties fighting in the arena were the exact kinds of high-class goddesses that these men could normally only dream of, entirely untouchable to them in this lifetime.
If they could just get a taste, even once…
The security personnel Miura Akira had selected to accompany him for this specific assignment were naturally his most trusted inner circle, meaning they were thoroughly accustomed to victimizing the innocent and abusing power.
Aki had not originally intended to go out of his way to slaughter these human henchmen.
However, now that they had actively chosen to participate in the conflict, they had no one left to blame but themselves.
His gaze turned freezing cold as he spoke to the girls currently in the thick of the fighting: “No need to hold back anymore. Eliminate every last one of them.”
”Oh, what a shame~ It’s all going to be over so fast~”
”Let’s clean out this garbage blocking our way first, then.”
”Akino, do you actually have the stomach to cut them down?” one asked. “If you don’t, should I handle your share for you?”
Amidst the casual, mocking banter exchanged between the girls, the security guards were systematically broken.
Within moments, every single one of them lay completely motionless on the ground, silenced forever.
Realizing that the entire situation had gone disastrously wrong, the three B-rank Youkai locked eyes, hardened their resolves, and simultaneously triggered their ultimate bloodline talent: Berserk¹.
Accompanied by three monstrous, subhuman roars, three mutated, half-beast abominations manifested before the group.
”So they really are just degenerate half-bloods,” Aki muttered. “Still, that Berserk ability is a remarkably efficient talent, even if the eventual recoil is incredibly severe.”
Watching the three Youkai instantly reverse their defensive stance to launch a savage counteroffensive, completely erasing their previous exhaustion, Aki silently evaluated them.
The Berserk skill was a definitive trait of the Youkai race; practically any creature that managed to claw its way up to a B-rank ranking was capable of utilizing it.
Furthermore, back when Aki had first mastered the manipulation of mana, his very first opponent had nearly overturned the entire fight by activating this exact ability.
As a result, he was profoundly familiar with its mechanics and its limitations.
The moment he had deduced that their opponents were Youkai, this exact variable had been integrated into his tactical strategy.
He had already thoroughly briefed the girls on the relevant intelligence beforehand.
”It’s the Berserk state! Yukina, pull back for now!”
”Sakura-senpai, watch your flank!”
”Mom, we’ll draw his attention and keep him pinned! Take this chance to restore your mana reserves!”
The three tactical units adapted to the threat instantly.
The faint pink mana coating Sasaki Yukina’s hands and feet instantly flared into a brilliant, blood-red hue as she pushed her physical reinforcement³ ability to its absolute limits.
With the other three members actively running interference to draw the enemy’s fire, she deftly evaded the worst of the brutal onslaught, constantly circling and wearing the beast down.
Miyajima Sakura braced her blade horizontally before her, systematically parrying the heavy impacts while Sakagami Akino anchored herself nearby to coordinate their defenses.
Obata Yui focused entirely on tracking structural flaws in the enemy’s movements.
Meanwhile, Shinohara Misaki directed her summoned familiars to execute relentless, distracting harrying maneuvers, heavily lowering the defensive weight pressing down on Miyajima Sakura.
The Takamine daughters channeled the entirety of their mana to maximize their physical capabilities.
They relied heavily on their phenomenal athletic reflexes and flawless sisterly coordination to run circles around the bird-monster, who was now covered in coarse, pitch-black feathers.
The Takamine mother remained anchored safely at a distance.
She regularly picked her moments to blindside the flustered avian creature with devastating bursts of long-range offensive magic.
The absolute initiative of the battle never once left the hands of the girls.
Aki nodded in quiet approval, his focus entirely locked onto the shifting parameters of the battlefield.
If any single side committed a critical error, he was prepared to step in and end the conflict himself within a fraction of a second.
While this was intended to be a practical crucible for their growth, he harbored absolutely no desire to stand by and watch the women he cared about suffer gruesome injuries or face the legitimate threshold of death.
As their frantic assault repeatedly failed to break the girls’ lines, and the duration of the Berserk state continued to tick away, a suffocating despair slowly began to take root within the hearts of the three B-rank Youkai.
The Berserk state was undeniably monstrous while it lasted, but the moment the skill reached its expiration, they would be reduced to nothing more than helpless fish on a carving board, stripped of even the basic strength required to beg.
They frantically attempted to shatter the perimeter and flee, but their desperate attacks failed to generate even the slightest ripple against the reinforced barrier.
They had no choice but to stiffen their jaws and continue throwing themselves into the meat grinder.
Roughly a quarter of an hour later, Higuma—who had mutated into a massive black bear form—was the first to collapse under the strain.
Like a falling row of dominoes, the Nue and the Baku lost their strength immediately afterward, collapsing limply onto the floor.
With the Berserk skill completely spent, the lifeforces of the three B-rank Youkai cratered instantly, dropping so low they were practically undetectable.
Staring down at the three half-blood Youkai who had forcibly reverted to their battered human guises, the girls finally let out a collective sigh of relief.
Kurumizaka Ruri delicately wiped the beads of sweat from her brow, letting out a soft groan. “Phew… That was completely exhausting. Ruri is totally wiped out.”
”Don’t lower your guard just yet,” Hamazaki Reina warned. “These three bastards are still hiding a pathetic little trick up their sleeves.”
”They’re trying to make us think they’ve given up so they can catch us slacking and pull a desperate sneak attack,” Reina added.
On the opposite side of the room, Obata Yui—whose sensory perception skills were highly specialized—nodded in immediate agreement.
”They are covertly channeling a low-level control spell,” Yui said. “They’re definitely hoping to catch us off guard and drag one of us down as a hostage.”
With their final, desperate gamble exposed to the light, any remaining shreds of defiance left within the three B-rank Youkai vanished.
They could do nothing but close their eyes in bitter silence, awaiting the final execution of their fates.
”Kill them,” Aki said.
Aki was immensely pleased with how perfectly the girls had handled themselves.
Walking over to stand directly above the crumpled forms of the three monsters, he pronounced their ultimate sentence without a single trace of emotion.
Faced with the absolute, freezing reality of Aki’s killing intent, the three B-rank Youkai—who had spent their entire lives acting like invincible, untouchable tyrants—finally shattered into sheer terror.
The muscular brute was the first to pathetically blubber for his life.
Yet, no matter how desperately they pleaded or how pathetic they tried to make themselves appear, not a single one of the girls showed even a flicker of hesitation or sympathy.
The horrifying details of the faction profiles Aki had shared with them prior to the raid flashed vividly through their minds.
Looking down at the sickening, theatrical display of these three monsters, the girls’ collective desire to slaughter them only grew sharper.
The reality was that any woman unfortunate enough to fall into the clutches of these monsters suffered a fate so uniquely grotesque that describing it as “worse than death” was a massive understatement.
The two scantily clad girls trailing beside Miura Akira actually represented the absolute best-case scenario among their victims.
Even then, those two sisters had seen their entire family systematically slaughtered, their home obliterated, and their own bodies broken down into nothing more than heavily conditioned, raw meat toilets.
They were subjected to the vile, degrading whims of their family’s murderers every single day.
It wasn’t that the sisters hadn’t tried to commit suicide to escape the nightmare.
Rather, it was because whenever they were caught attempting it, the retaliation that awaited them was an even more unspeakably sadistic level of torture.
If Aki had lacked the overwhelming strength to dictate this encounter, then following the secret tip-off those sisters had provided, they would have been subjected to an agonizing, prolonged torment until they finally expired.
In truth, it was just that Miura Akira was so profoundly arrogant that he had never considered Aki a threat worth monitoring in the first place.
