Chapter 43 - Chapter 42: Megumi & Hakari vs Arthur 2

Megumi clicked his tongue as he saw the tornado of destruction expanding rapidly. At the rate it was starting to grow, it would destroy the beach and the city behind them.

"Hakari-san! Distract him. I have a plan," Megumi said, and Hakari tossed a thumbs-up with a smirk. Megumi suddenly sprouted wings from his back, casting a shadow over the ground.

Boom!

Megumi flew to the sky fast, leaving a shadow behind as he flew above Arthur. Megumi used The Well's Unknown Abyss as the base to use Nue's wings.

"Where do you think you are going?!" Arthur grinned as he looked at Megumi. A whirlwind appeared in his palm, and Arthur was about to throw it at Megumi.

Boom!

Hakari cracked and cratered the sand under him as he jumped into the air. A metal door appeared mid-air. Hakari jumped off the door and gained height.

Boom!

Arthur barely looked down in time as a punch connected to his chest. Arthur grunted in pain as Hakari's punch created a shockwave. Hakari grinned as he gripped Arthur's forearm.

"Let's get you down a peg!" Hakari said before spinning around and throwing Arthur to the ground. The air whistled in pain as Arthur slammed into the ground, blasting a crater into the beach.

"You think this is enough?" Arthur said, making a cold glare as he looked at Hakari, landing in the distance. Hakari responded with a smirk as he jumped in place, throwing punches.

"Nah, but that's not my purpose. Yo! You ready?" Hakari said as he looked up. The tornado started pulling Hakari and Arthur in. Megumi sighed above the tornado.

"Okay... Let's do this." Megumi summoned a massive amount of water and condensed it into a whirlpool around his arm in the form of a blade. Megumi took a breath before attacking.

"Vortex Shot!" The spinning blade flew down into the eye of the tornado, and in mid-air, it suddenly grew in size multiple times. Megumi panted slightly as he used the Great Serpent's ability to enlarge.

Boom!

The tornado was instantly blown apart as the blade pierced straight down its middle. A massive wave of water rushed out from all sides, and a crater tens of meters in size appeared on the beach.

The sand sucked into the tornado flew everywhere, and Arthur glared as he looked at Megumi. Hakari smiled with an impressed look. That was an attack even he couldn't do.

"You two are starting to piss me off!... I better get serious," Arthur stood upright, and a soft breeze appeared around his body. Arthur's cursed energy has the characteristics of wind.

This enhanced his speed massively when using cursed reinforcement. Hakari and Megumi stood beside each other as they watched Arthur's moves.

Boom!

The ground under Arthur cracked as he dashed forward. The sand behind him blew into a massive trail of dust. Megumi and Hakari's eyes widened at the speed.

Boom!

A metal door appeared at Hakari, but it was smashed to pieces as Arthur punched it. Megumi took the slight time to shoot a piercing shot towards Arthur.

Boom!

Strings of water shot faster than the sound spread in all directions behind Arthur as a spinning barrier blocked the water. Megumi charged forward.

"Chidori!" Purple lightning surrounded Megumi's hand as he got faster. Arthur sneered before sending a massive wind slash at Megumi. Hakari appeared and punched the slash, allowing Megumi to continue.

Boom!

Megumi's attack spread out in a circle of purple arcs as Arthur blocked it with a windshield. Megumi clicked his tongue as he jumped back before a slash appeared.

"I need to get past his shield..." Megumi narrowed his eyes as he looked at Hakari. Megumi could use his domain as a counter, but he is not as good as Hakari's.

"Hakari-san! Your domain." Megumi said as he dodged a beam of wind. Hakari smirked before punching his hand through the windshield around Arthur.

His skin was slightly scratched, but he hit Arthur in the back, sending him flying from the force. Arthur spat blood out before letting out a growl of anger.

"That's it! I had enough of this fuck!" Arthur's eyes turned red in anger as he healed his injuries. Dashing towards Hakari, Arthur widened a punch that shattered everything around them.

Boom!

Hakari coughed out blood as the side of his stomach was pierced by Arthur's fist. A massively concentrated blast of wind appeared from the punch, sending Hakari flying.

"Shit! Divine Dogs!" Megumi clenched his tongue as he sent divine dogs towards Arthur. Arthur glared before dashing and sending tens of slashes made of extremely sharp winds.

The dogs were sliced into pieces before reforming. They opened their mouths and bit down on Arthur. Dodging with speed, Arthur spins around before whipping out a military-grade knife from his bootstrap.

Boom!

A stab went into the head before Arthur sliced the head of the dogs. Arthur growled in anger and confusion as the dogs were not killed. Instead, they reformed from their shadows.

Megumi dashed past him and landed next to Hakari. His hand glowed with positive energy as he healed Hakari. His missing side healed, and Hakari let out a cough of blood before jumping up.

Without his domain, Hakariu is merely a powerful hand-to-hand fighter. He is fully empowered when using his domain. Hakari's blood starts pumping when he is betting his life.

"My domain, huh? You got it, kid~" Hakari said with a smirk, and Megumi nodded. He dashed back towards Arthur to distract him as Hakari got his bearings.

Boom!

A barrage of slashes that created trenches all around was sent out at a 360 angle around Arthur. The dogs were sliced up, and Megumi barely dodged with slices on his skin.

Healing up, Megumi appeared above Arthur, and a sword appeared in his hand from the shadow. Arthur spun around and deflected the blade with his knife.

"Did no one tell you that a knife is always faster than a sword?" Arthur asked with a smirk before driving the knife into Megumi's stomach. Megumi groaned as he twisted, the knife stabbing his leg.

"And did no one tell you to focus?" Megumi said with a smirk. Arthur's senses spiked as he sensed danger from Hakari. He spun around, but it was too late as Hakari stood in a pose.

"Domain Expansion." 

"Idle Death Gamble!"
