Chapter 43: Risa Part 4
The group sat in the cold dome patiently as they wait for Risa. Time was forgotten as they say their quietly waiting.
"So Risa is an Oracle?" Gou whispers to Bo cutting the silence. "Does your ancestors talk or mention about an Oracle in your family's books?"
"A few of them mention one or two, but they weren't very helpful. I do recall that there is only one in the world and each have different powers besides telling the past, present, and so on and so forth." Bo explains. "Maybe she'll be different. Hishikawa-sensei did give us a hint about her so she must know how to help us."
"That's true, but it doesn't seem like she wanted to help us. I mean, she basically tried to avoid us." said Gou. "And she did say that someone paid her to not help us in the least."
"It could be that nun. She didn't seem like she wanted anyone to be involved." Bo suggested.
"The major question is: Why? What's wrong with helping us with breaking this curse? Did you know that she's the one that saved you when you were that beast? If she can do that then why does she refuse to help us more than that?" Gou said getting upset.
"I don't know, but Hishikawa-sensei didn't send us here for nothing. Risa knows something. She did say that someone paid her to keep quiet and not interfere with us. I bet on that nun. There's something about her. She has power over a man twenty years older and he's afraid of some nine year old girl." Bo said running her chin.
"When this battle is over, we are going have to force it out of Risa some how."
"Hell yeah, by force." Bo said hitting her fist with her hand.
"Goodness, violent." Gou smiled and Bo laughed. Suddenly the ground shook and the trees were blown back by a ring of green mist. Everyone looked at the mansion and see Risa was pinned on the ground by the necromancer with a large black battle axe.
"What, are you dying already?" he asked while smiling like mad.
"Not yet!" Risa groaned and form a large glass icicle, stabbing the necromancer through the gut. She slowly rises with the axe still intact. She kept making the glass grow bigger and bigger, keeping the necromancer away. The axe slanted making her wound bigger, making her scream in pain, but she kept on going forward.
"Jeez...she's awesome!" Bo jumped up and down like a child. "Keeping going girl! Kick his ass!"
"What does Haru see in you?" Gou said covering her ears from her shouts.
"A lot of things, if you know what I'm saying." Bo winked making Gou cringe. The girls looked back at the fight and see Risa swinging the necromancer around and around with the icicle. Then she shortened it releasing him, crashing and destroying many trees.
"Damn, she's better than you." Bo said jokingly. Gou elbowed her at the side making Bo laugh. They looked back at Risa who was checking a large gap in her torso.
"Oh man, that's not attractive." Risa mumbled as her wound closed up by itself.
"My children! Combine and come to your father!" the necromancer shouted. The dead turned and ran towards him, getting on top of one another to reach him. They started to bite him, ripping off his flesh, consuming him while he laughed uncontrollably. After that they started to consume each other and vomiting and slowly creating one large undead monster.
"Now, who what's to die!?" the monster roared, smashing everything in sight. Risa ran towards the dome and breaks it down with one kick.
"Alright, you two, you are going to help me got it?" she said pointing at the girls.
"If we do help you, you will help us with whatever we need." said Gou, crossing her arms.
"Yeah, yeah, sure, whatever. Come on, hurry up!" Risa ordered. The girls left the dome leaving the goons inside. Gou quickly fixed it to protect them. All three of them stood in front of the monster staring it down.
"So...anyone got a plan?" Risa asked getting groans from the girls.
"I guess hit it randomly until we find a weakness?" Bo shrugged.
"That might work." Gou agreed. All three of them attacked the monster with everything they could think of. Gou freeze some parts of its body and breaking it down, but it regenerated. Bo blocks its vision by making mist and then hitting with electric water serpents, but had no affect. Risa kept putting one glass shard one after another to distract it and then cutting through the middle of the monster into two halves. Unfortunately, the monster doesn't fall and comes back up, becoming one.
"Okay, this isn't working." said Risa. "Let's put our powers together and see how that goes." They agreed and tried it. Gou made frozen lances and Risa made glass shards and then they put it together and Bo wraps it in water and moves it to attack the creature. She forces it down the monster's throat trying to hurt from the inside. When they thought they won, the monster burped, sending the ice and shards back at the girls. Risa quickly protects them with a wall of glass.
"Nothing is working!?" Bo yelled.
"There's too much miasma. Too many restless souls. It's...almost sad…" Risa said looking at the monster. Then it swiped its large arm hitting her to a far distance. She tried to catch herself by stopping with glass, but the force made her tumble and made her glass break.
Then the monster slammed his hand down grabbing Gou and squeezing her tightly with his grip. Next, it threw her to the mansion hitting the wall and leaving a large hole. Bo tried to electrocute it with the water under it, but it didn't work. She tried her water snakes and smacked the monster back. The monster grabs the snakes to destroy them, but the snakes turned into multiple snakes and went inside the the creature through the holes of the eye sockets of the dead. She squeezes her hands electrocuting it from the inside. The monster shook violently and smoke was coming out of its mouth. Then the monster put his fist together and slams Bo into the ground.
"Bo!" the goons shouted and started to bang against the ice. The monster caught sight of them and started head towards them. They all cornered up against the wall as they watch the creature come closer and closer. Suddenly a big shard of glass strikes it in the back of the head. It turns around and there was the little nun on a small pillar shaped like a lotus flower. Around it was thin outlines of circles with smaller lotus flowers and strange writing on every other circle.
"You have made the spirit world unbalanced because of your selfishness. I, Ran, the Goddess of Seas will put an end to your recklessness." the nun said glowing a white light. She sung heavenly as the circles glowed around her. White mist came out and wrapped around the monster. It screamed in terror as it tried to get away. Gou watched in awe as the monster slowly began to shrink and ghostly like people came out of its body and going into the circles. The monster became nothing, but a man injured by multiple bite marks.
