Ch:45 – Magi the Labyrinth of Magic – 2-1

The newbies wanted to ask me more questions but I stopped them.

Chris:''We don't have time for anymore questions at the moment, Tama could you find the right path for us as we get the newbies armed?''

Tama:''Right away master.''

Jacob:''D..D..Demon!''

When Tama appeared when I called her Father Jacob started to freak out, as he started to call Tama a demon she started to get angry.

Tama:''Tama is not a demon! Tama is a Sun God! As a priest you should be showing Tama the respect she's do.''

Jacob:''B..b..blasphemy! There is only one true God and he is not some under dressed girl or what ever made this place!!''

Reaper:''ENOUGH! Jacob keep your opinions to your self, Tama ignore him.''

Thanking Reaper for getting Jacob to stop freaking out I send Tama on her way and get to arming the newbies. In the anime and the manga, the creatures could be killed my normal weapons, so when giving the newbies both gun with normal bullets. When the newbies herd me tell the others I was only giving them the low cost normal bullets they started to freak out at me, they started to demand the better bullets and some armor as well.

Chris:''I'm just giving you the gun's as a precaution, we will take care of most of the creatures. If normal bullets are ineffective I'll give you some magic one's, and before you ask the reason I'm not giving them to you now is because they are expensive and I don't have a lot.''

I told them flat out that the gun was all there were getting at the moment but for what ever reason Jill just had to spit some more venom at me.

Jill:''Just like a man, pathetic excuses. Just give me the stuff I want and put someone else in charge, like one of the woman.''

I don't know why she had this hate for me, but I was at my wits end. Before I could act, Sakura walked us to Jill and slapped her hard.

Jill:''HOW DARE YOU!!''

Sakura:''How dare you!? Chris stood up for you even when you were rude to him, he even gave you a weapon to defend yourself with and all you do is belittle him as you whine. He even took you in even when the others wanted to leave you to your fate, now that I have seen the way you are I agree with them. We should have abandoned you.''

In Jill's eye's you could see pure hatred, she looked like she was going to start another fight but before she got the chance a loud screech filled the room we were in. We all froze, I never noticed before now but my strength wasn't the only thing my stats gave me. Smell and hearing were also heightened by a large margin, when the screech came I could tell it was coming from some of the rooms behind us were I sent Tama. And there were a lot of them. Seeing me turn around so fast the others started to react too, Jacob and Jill started to demand to know what was going on but we all ignored them.

I could already hear them running to us, the sound was like thunder. Taking out my Lawgiver Il and seting it to rapid fire, luckily for me before we entered this world I got it a hour long magic enchantment(courtesy of Tama) that gave my shoots the power of low grade magic bullets.

I wasn't the only one that reacted to the screeching, Jade and Jess went to the back with the newbies and both took out guns. Sakura with her zanpakutō come up to the front with me, as for Reaper, he was right behind me and Sakura with his Crescent Rose in Sniper mode(It has three modes, Scythe, Rifle and Sniper).

As if on cue, as soon as we were in position hundreds of big green ants came swarming out of the tunnels heading right for us.

Chris:''Reaper, see if normal bullets will work! If not tell us, Sakura don't move to fare from us!''

We needed to see if we needed to use magic bullets so with Reaper being a sniper I had him test it out, as for Sakura. She only has her sword at the moment so I wanted her to be careful not to be surrounded.

BANG!

Right after I give my orders Reaper fires a bullet at the closest creature, the ants head was blown right off. And not just that but more then ten ants behind it were hit to. Right after being hit, the body's of the ants liquefied, seeing that normal bullets work Jade and Jess switch out there magic ones. As the two were doing that I opened fire, in mere seconds hundreds of bullets are fired mowing down the green ant like creatures.

Although it has only been seconds it felt like hours, no mater how much we shoot there seemed to be no end to them.

Chris:''Tama! Which way! Can you hear me?!''

I tried to call Tama but I couldn't get in contact with her, as I was call for her some of the creatures started to gather together. From the ball the creatures made, three humanoid things emerged from it. Like in the manga there were four meters tall but the look they had was a 100% scarier. It's lags were only one meter long but were almost as thick as a tree trunk, it's body was as ripped as a bodybuilders with it's arms so long that it's knuckles almost touched the ground.

Also like the manga it was covered in eye's, but unlike the manga they were only a little bigger then human eye's. There were all bloodshot and unblinking, they kept looking around as if trying to see as much as they could. The only one not moving was a eye the size of a basketball in the middle if its chest, the eye in it's stared at us unmoving and unblinking. Right above it, it's mouth kept opening and closing.

The only one that had the swords was the one in the middle, the other two were empty handed but still had the same aura of death that the middle one had. I could see were not going to make it, with more and more of the humanoid creatures being made and the endless number of the ant ones I new we would not be able to last much longer.

Tama:''Master! Over here!''

Just as I was about to give up hope, Tama finally found the tunnel we needed and came back.

Chris:''Guy's! Tama found the right tunnel, move!!''

After yelling at the others I ran as fast as I could to the tunnel Tama was at, seeing that we were running away all the creatures started to chase us. The worsts part was the three humanoid creatures were a lot faster then the smaller ones, as they ran after us they would step on the smaller ones.

As the fastest three members of the team me, Sakura and May ran up front, I took the right with my Lawgiver and May took the left. Sakura was between me and May, using her sword to kill anything that got to close. Last was Reaper, Jess and Jade, Reaper was in the back keeping as meany away as he could with Jade and Jess in the middle with the two newbies.

We couldn't run to fast as the two newbies wouldn't be able to even mach Jess's speed, so the creatures were getting to us faster we could kill them. Seeing that we were in trouble Tama started throwing lighting and ice, as she killed them I was getting points for all her kills which shocked me.

I was the first to get to Tama, right after I was through the tunnel I turned around and started to give cover fire to the others. The others weren't far behind me but the army of creatures weren't to far behind them, the humanoid creatures were even closer then the smaller ones. But what made it worst is there were now over twenty of the humanoid creatures right behind Reaper.

Chris:''Tama, freeze the ones behind Reaper! May, as soon as he's through seal the tunnel!''

Following my orders right away Tama started throwing dozens of ice spears, at the same time May took out a grenade and got it ready. Then it happened. As she was running Jill tripped over her own two feet, bringing Jacob and Jess down with her.

Chris:''Shit!''

Taking ''Kumokiri'' out and adding wind mana to my lags I use a ''Flash Step'' to get to Jess as fast as I could, I got lucky. I got to them just as one of the humanoid creatures was about to spew fire from its mouth, as soon as I was in front of the creature I raised Kumokiri up and created a wind shield over us.

The wind shield was up just in time, Reaper, Jess, Jade and the two newbies were all around me in the dome I made. All around us was a sea of flames, and the only thing keeping it back was my little wind shield. Thinking fast I take out ''Raikiri'', turning to the others I tell them to run as soon as the flames are gone.

Gathering wind mana into Kumokiri, I swing it. With the swing I cast out all the wind mana I put into ''Kumokiri'' and made my wind shield disperse as well. When all that wind mana hit all the flames that were around us it sent them all out covering all the ant like creatures withing ten meters of us. Then raising ''Raikiri'' up, I sent out lighting bolts to all the humanoid creatures that were not killed by the flames.

Right after the wind shield went down the others made there move, with Reapers and Jades help Jess was able to get to Tama fast. But by the time I launched my electric attack the newbies were only half way there.

Seeing that the newbies would need more time to get to the others, I decided to draw as meany of the creatures I could to me to give them the time they needed. Sending lighting bolts and wind blades out in all directions and had already lost count of how meany I had killed, it was at this time that I herd something that mad me beyond angry.

Jill:''CLOSE THE TUNAL! DON'T LET THEM IN!!''

Looking over to the others I could see Jill trying to get the grenade from May, there was no way she would be able to get it from her. But instead of fighting the creatures the others were watching Jill or trying to stop her. As fast as I could I switched out ''Kumokiri'' and ''Raikiri'' and took out ''Kashagiri Hiromitsu'', lifting Kashagiri over my head like I did back home I swing it down with all my strength.

The results were different then what I expected to happen to say the least, the flames were a little bigger then the last times I used ''Kashagiri'' true. But what was different this time was that all the fire the humanoid creatures were spewing was being swallowed up by ''Kashagiri's'' demonic flames and was getting bigger.

To make maters worse I sent the flames at the tunnel the others were at so it would clear a path for me, seeing that my attack was going to hit the others I felt a chill go through my body.

Chris:''NO!!!!''

Yelling at the top of my longs I start running after the flames. I knew I was not going to make it, I feared I was not going to make it. I didn't care, I still ran. As I was thinking there's things my eye's went out of focus and I knew what to do. Putting more wind mana and lighting mana into my lags then I ever have before, like a scene from the flash, I launched forward with a single ''Flash Step''. That one ''Flash Step'' took me all the way to the others, right in fount of the others I swing ''Kashagiri'' at the incoming flames.

BANG!!

The demonic flames could eat other flames and get stronger, but when I was training I discovered that if two demonic flames touch each other the would explode with triple the strength of just one. As soon as the explosion started I did a small ''Flash Step'' back to were the others were standing.

what happened to all the creatures I couldn't say, the explosion from the demonic flames caused the tunnel to caving on itself, as soon as I saw it was ok I collapsed on the ground. But before I could say anything pain shot through my whole body and I started to shake like I was having a seizure.

I had just left the unlock mode.
