Chapter 138- Sorophi's Rampage (Part 2)

The creature was at least triple Emilia's size, its fur was dark brown and pointy as if it was made out of shards of metal and not actual soft fur. Inside its giant mouth was a row of carnivorous teeth ready to rip off chunks of flesh. With its overly jacked body, the giant bear looked like a puffed-up balloon.

Its huge paws looked so menacing with the huge claws made out of some kind of dark matter that Rin couldn't identify at all.

But, out of all of this, its most striking thing was its eyes Rin was quite unnerved by when he touched the plushy body. They were now as red as a sea of blood and as ominous as the stare of a death reaper.

'What the actual fuck is that?' Rin, frozen in his place, thought flabbergasted.

"Sorophi, this isn't the time to start these stupid tantrums! Calm down." Emilia said as she took a stance, ready to fight the enraged bear.

"No! Emi is a bad person! Silika hates Emi!! Sorophi also hates Emi!!"

Shouting at the top of her lungs, the bear quickly vanished from where he was standing, carving a deeper crater in the ground because of the sudden movement.

*BAAAAAAAANG*

The next moment, Emilia was blasted in the air like a rocket. Her body flew so fast, Rin and Elise didn't have enough time to react to that.

*BOOOOM*

Her body smashed against a tall building. Glass was obliterated and the woman ended up inside it, laying on a broken desk.

"That fucking…" Standing up, Emilia spat out a mouthful of saliva before she jumped out of the window again.

'You have done it.'

Even though Emilia was sure Sorophi wasn't even using a fraction of her true strength, this fight was still going to be intense. f𝘳𝚎𝐞we𝐛𝑛𝐨𝘃e𝘭.co𝘮

Pushing with her legs, Emilia jumped in the air, cutting through the air like an arrow. The huge bear so her coming right toward him so it quickly opened its arms and tried to slap Emilia when she was close enough.

*BANG*

The two powerhouses clashed violently, sending everything into a frenzy. The bear Silika felt its paw getting stuck no matter how much it tried to move it.

"You are nothing but an overgrown plushy." Emilia, through the smoke, said. Before the bear could even register what she uttered, it felt its whole body twist violently before it was pushed far away.

Landing face first, the bear dragged its face out of the dirt and debris before it glared at Emilia.

"Enough, Sorophi. We are going to destroy the whole city if this continues."

"No! Only when Emi apologises to Silika!"

"Why should I…"

Before she could even finish her words, the bear had already moved and slashed with its paw at Emilia. That mere movement was so fast that Rin couldn't even follow it with his eyes. If he was the one targeted by that slash, he would be as good as dead before he even knew it.

'This is ridiculous!' He blinked a few times as he heard the loud bang following the slash.

Emilia had jumped back a few meters with clenched teeth.

"Sorophi! Just make it stop and I will apologize, how about that?"

"No! Apologise to Silika and I will stop!" Sorophis was stubborn as ever.

The rampage continued with an ever-increasing intensity. Holes were created in the ground, turning into some kind of grey swiss cheese. Silika seemed to grow angrier and angrier the more Emilia dodged its paws and hits.

*BANG* *BANG*

Emilia wasn't trying to fight back for one simple reason… If she hit Silika, that would only be like adding more fuel to the fire. She could only try and minimize the damage that could happen to the city instead of engaging in a brutal fight that could destroy all the buildings of the city and even kill some people.

"What should we do?" Rin asked Elise.

"I have no… idea." She answered as she watched the fight between two completely different species. For Elise, seeing this level of strength being used in front of her. The sheer difference between them and these two was so vast that it could only make her wonder how long it will take them to become like that.

The speed, the strength, the overwhelming presence, it all was incomparable to anything Elise had ever seen before. It was to an extent that it could break anyone's motivation to try and keep improving. However, for her, this was nothing short of a great motivation to get stronger, to break through and become like that, extremely dominating.

'Power comes with time and strength comes with effort.' She shook her head. 𝗳𝒓𝙚e𝓌e𝚋𝙣𝚘𝐯𝙚𝙡.𝑐૦ｍ

"I think I have an idea." Rin suddenly said.

"Hmm?"

"I will be going for a moment."

"Huh?" Before Elise could sound her confusion, Rin had already dashed toward the middle of the fight.

"What is that idiot doing?" She blinked a few times as she tried to chase him. Getting entangled in a fight like that was a death wish. He would be killed by complete mistake.

Rin, however, ignored Elise's calls and quickened his steps. His eyes were focused on only one target, Sorophi.

"Rin?!" Noticing his presence closing down on them, Emilia's eyes widened as she quickly jumped back, barely avoiding a hit because of the small mishap she did.

"What the hell are you doing?! Get out of here!!" She shouted at him angrily while keeping herself busy with Silika.

"I have an idea." He said that and continued running ahead.

Noticing him, Silika stopped for a moment as if Rin caught its interest. Its eyes didn't look as angry as before.

Then, with weirdly slow steps, it walked toward Rin who ignored it completely.

Luckily, a second later, Rin reached Sorophi who was now sitting down with her knees stuck to her face as if she was angry. She only lifted her head when she saw Rin in front of her. The latter gave her a long glance before he did something unexpected.

"Hyah!" Making a small sound, Sorophi found herself inside a warm embrace.

'I hope this works.'

"Here, I hugged you. Can you stop Silika from fighting?" He said in a fake yet well-trained soft voice.

"Mmm…" The latter didn't seem to be responsive but not because of her usual aloofness and quirky personality but because she was frozen in Rin's embrace. Her face instinctively got glued to his chest and her nose was buried in his clothes, smelling a whiff of his odor that seemed so calming for some reason.

Then, her arms moved on their own and wrapped around Rin's abdomen.

"Mmm, isn't this enough?"

"No." She replied as she tightened her grip.

'Ugh. Her arms are strong. I'm getting crushed.' He thought as he felt his bones shaking a little bit from her powerful grip on him.

'I will be suffocated. But, she at least didn't use her crushing strength from before or I will be turned into meat paste in a second' He groaned.

"Sorophi… Can you, ugh, please, stop Silika and release me?" Even though he was in pain, he tried to keep calm and treat her gently just like how treats a small child. He knew that if he lost his temper now or sounded harsh, she will only act more stubbornly and even do things that might be disastrous.

"Mmm…"

However, Rin's trouble had only started.

*BAM* *BAM*

Sensing a huge shadow appearing behind him. He turned around slowly, only to find Silika looking at him from above. Its eyes were now a fainter shade of red and there was no more saliva trickling down its chin.

However, her scary looks and suffocating aura were still there so Rin's face paled a little bit as he tried to say something. Instead, he found his mouth close as he lifted up in the air with Sorophi still in his hands. Then, without any warning, it hugged him tightly.

"Huh?" He was frozen in his place as he felt the rough fur beneath him soften considerably when he touched it.

'Is it hugging me?' He thought, clearly not understanding what was going on.

Then, he recalled what Sorophi had said.

'Silika likes you.'

'She wasn't joking!!!' He thought as he felt the huge bear cover him wholly. The soft fur was quite pleasant to the touch like a huge thick blanket. While Sorophi was crushing his waist, Silika was using a lot less strength in its hug as if it feared crushing Rin by mistake.

'This is weird! But, I'm at least not dead.' He thought.

"What are they doing…" Emilia wondered as she tapped her face.

"At least, nothing catastrophic happened." She sighed in relief.

"That moron…" Elise, on the other hand, didn't seem to be satisfied for some reason. Her face had a visible frown on it as she gazed at Rin and the other two in this triple, bizarre hug.
