"Ha!"
"Hey!"
Fang Zheng sat at the back, watching the battle between Mirai Kuriyama and the Demon Creature in front of him, speechless for a moment.
It had already been about an hour since the two began fighting, yet they were still evenly matched.
In terms of damage dealt, Mirai Kuriyama held an overwhelming advantage, but she had a fatal flaw: insufficient blood volume.
It’s well-known that a person’s blood volume is proportional to their body weight, generally making up about 7% to 8% of their body weight. Mirai Kuriyama’s weight is about 40kg, which means the amount of blood in her body isn’t much. Even if she extracted all the blood from Mirai Kuriyama’s body, it wouldn’t condense into a 400-meter-long Blood Blade. Not to mention that during battle, blood is consumed—it only increases, not decreases.
Let’s not even mention that extracting all of it would truly result in death; no matter how powerful Mirai Kuriyama’s cursed blood is, she’s still just an ordinary human without Immortality. Excessive blood loss is one thing; having all her blood drained is another.
Fang Zheng also knew that, although in the anime Mirai Kuriyama dealt with Demon Dreams like Shadow of Nothingness, the problem is that such Demon Dreams are large in size but mostly intangible, with only a very small core. Even if big, it’s not so big. But the Creature in front of her was entirely solid, and it wasn’t easy for Mirai Kuriyama to cut through to the core.
Moreover, this Demon Creature’s regeneration speed was extremely fast. Though Mirai Kuriyama could slice off an arm in one blow, it would quickly regenerate in the blink of an eye, and then continue attacking its enemy. So now, it’s a battle of attrition. Luckily, Chaos Monster intelligence is usually low, similar to a game boss - as long as you hold the aggro you can keep beating it.
Now let’s see how long Mirai Kuriyama can endure as the Blood Rider.
Anyway, there’s plenty of "Condensed Milk."
"Little Bai, give me another bottle!!"
After repelling another Chaos Monster attack, Mirai Kuriyama flipped and landed in front of Fang Zheng. Fang Zheng placed his paw forward and pushed a bottle of "Condensed Milk" towards Mirai Kuriyama. She directly opened the cap, tipped her head back, and swallowed it down in one go. Suddenly, the consumed Blood Blade in her hand extended once again, and with both hands gripping her Blood Blade, she charged forward once more.
It feels great!
Although Mirai Kuriyama hadn’t managed to defeat the Demon Creature, this battle was immensely satisfying. Until now, limited by her ability and the power of her blood, Mirai Kuriyama had never experienced such an exhilarating fight. After all, if a fight lasted too long, she’d face many issues.
Like anemia, anemia, and... anemia.
But now, for the first time, she didn’t have to worry about those issues and could fight as she pleased!
Although during the battle, Mirai Kuriyama initially felt empty, dizzy, and light-headed, after drinking that bottle of Condensed Milk, a fiery feeling surged inside her, filling the emptiness as if a roaring flame had warmed her cold body, filling her with vigor!
Though initially hard to swallow, Mirai Kuriyama found herself growing... somewhat addicted?
Even though it was difficult to drink and had an unpleasant smell, now when she smelled it, her body shivered with excitement. And that feeling... experiencing the scorching liquid sliding down her throat brought an indescribable pleasure...
At this moment, Mirai Kuriyama became more composed. Although she asked Fang Zheng about potential side effects—being an Ability User who manipulates blood, Mirai Kuriyama was clear about her blood issues—the idea that one bottle could replenish blood never crossed her mind.
Luckily, Fang Zheng assured her there were no side effects. The only possible drawback was that it was rather unpleasant to taste... And Mirai, accustomed to it now, expressed that she’d gotten used to drinking it.
After several more attempts, Mirai Kuriyama realized that killing the Demon Creature was impossible unless she gained a hundred kilograms, so she simply followed Fang Zheng’s advice and switched to defense mode, no longer attempting to destroy the Creature but waiting for the other three Magic Knights to awaken the Demon God... But...
"L-Little Bai, how much longer for them!!"
While wielding her Blood Blade, Mirai Kuriyama couldn’t help but ask. This wasn’t a game, and although Fang Zheng provided ample "milk" for the Blood Rider, she would inevitably tire over time, not to mention the dangers posed by the Demon Creature’s attacks—even just defending required substantial effort.
"Shouldn’t be long now, just hang in there."
Fang Zheng frowned, gazing into the depths of the Temple. He had watched the anime and knew the three Magic Knights must pass a Trial from the Demon God to gain approval—but the timeline in anime might not be realistic. Who knows how long it actually took those Magic Knights?
Before that...
"Do you want more?"
Fang Zheng held out another bottle of "Condensed Milk," and upon hearing his question, Mirai Kuriyama hesitated. Truthfully, she wanted to drink it, but now, upon seeing the "Condensed Milk," it felt as if flames burned inside her. But then she glanced at the bottles she’d already emptied...
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight...
"Little Bai, is it really okay to drink so much?"
"Don’t worry."
Facing Mirai Kuriyama’s anxious inquiry, Fang Zheng nodded.
"You won’t get pregnant."
Hearing Fang Zheng’s reply, Mirai Kuriyama was taken aback, unsure of what to say. However, just then, the Chaos Monster roared again, throwing a punch towards Mirai Kuriyama. The girl screamed, quickly raising the Blood Blade in her hand, and soon saw the originally sharp, straight tip of the Blood Blade start to rotate and expand, in the blink of an eye transforming into a round shield which collided heavily with the Chaos Monster’s fist.
"Boom!!"
The next moment, the Chaos Monster’s right hand suddenly exploded, while Mirai Kuriyama was also sent flying and rolled several times on the ground before gripping the Blood Blade into the ground and stabilizing herself.
"Do you want to drink more?"
Fang Zheng admired the skirt lifted by Newton’s gravity behind the girl, revealing a peek of pure white beneath the black tights, then asked leisurely.
Upon hearing Fang Zheng’s question, Mirai Kuriyama hesitated for a moment, then turned her head again, looking at the "Condensed Milk" beside Fang Zheng.
"I still want more!"
She decisively spoke up.
However, just as Mirai Kuriyama reached out her hand to grab the bottle of "Condensed Milk" in front of Fang Zheng, suddenly, the surrounding water flow shook abruptly, and the previously calm temple began to tremble slightly. At the same time, the Chaos Monster preparing to advance seemed to notice something too, retreating a few steps and roaring angrily, while the sound of the temple’s tremor grew louder.
The next moment, with the violent water flow, a gigantic blue Mecha suddenly appeared out of thin air, charging toward the Chaos Monster in front of them.
".........."
Seeing this, Mirai Kuriyama let out a sigh of relief; she had previously worried if anything was wrong with these girls, but now it seemed... everything was going smoothly.
However......
Thinking about this, Mirai Kuriyama looked somewhat reluctantly at the "Condensed Milk" in her hand.
Should she... still drink it?
After Ryuuzaki Kai awakened the Demon God, the ensuing battle need not be said.
It was just like a Gundam versus a small monster; although the Chaos Monster was large, it didn’t possess particularly powerful strength, especially since it was in the water, Ryuuzaki Kai’s home turf. The blue Mecha unleashed a water dragon, grabbed its opponent, and easily sliced the Chaos Monster in front of it in half.
Seeing this, Mirai Kuriyama sighed; if she could shape a 400-meter-long sword with blood, she would have dealt with this nuisance long ago... but unfortunately, her strength wasn’t enough to confront such a mighty monster otherwise things wouldn’t be left undone till now.
"Roar!!"
Facing the water dragon Mecha, the Chaos Monster went berserk, with its originally condensed tentacles rapidly spreading out, extending densely like octopus limbs, tightly wrapping around the water dragon Mecha. However, the water dragon Mecha lifted its blade, the knife fell swiftly, slashing open the Chaos Monster’s tentacles before thrusting its sword boldly into the Chaos Monster’s colossal body.
Accompanied by a piercing scream, the blade emitted a frosty mist, turning the huge monster into an ice sculpture in the blink of an eye, which then cracked and shattered, melting into the lake water and disappearing without a trace.
"Hoo......."
Only then did Fang Zheng silently let out a sigh of relief, although the Chaos Monster had a large body, fortunately, it wasn’t entirely eroded by the Chaos Body, allowing Ryuuzaki Kai to settle it instantly with his Mecha.
So... it’s not that they weren’t trying, but the enemy had Gundams.
Indeed, technology is the primary combat power.
