Chapter 21: Facing the Awakened

"Click!" There was a loud bang, and Isu and Divi appeared on either side of Helen, two large swords covering the opening that was beginning to close, and Helen noticed that the hole was shrinking, more precisely, closing up and down. The tips of the two sharp stone pillars were dripping with purple-red liquid, and when they fell on the ground, they corroded a small hole in the ground.

Helen realized that if Devi and Isu hadn't come to save her just now, she would have been swallowed by this thing for no reason. Then she hurriedly jumped out of it, and at the same time, her outstretched arm and the big sword in her hand hit the black cavern straight inside.

"Puff~――~" followed by the sound of a big sword piercing into the flesh.

"Roar~!roar!!" There was a terrifying roar from the huge black hole.

Faced with the sharp increase in bite force, Isu and Divi leaped out of the hole after withdrawing their swords, and Helen had already withdrawn the sword from her hand. The three stood side by side.

The giant hole in front of him began to change, shrinking and shrinking, while something new grew elsewhere. Resembles the color of a rock, resembling human limbs. The cave grew smaller and smaller, and gradually took on the shape of a head. The original hole began to look like a mouth, and two golden eyes protruded from it. The whole is a rock-gray person lying on the ground. Sure enough, it's the Awakened!

An incomparably manic demonic aura emanated from that body. The huge coercion forced the three of them back a few steps together. Yss only took one step back, Divi took two steps, and Helen took three. This is the result of Izu's help them block some of the coercion. The difference in strength was immediately manifested.

"You ...... It's much weaker than the warrior just now~" Her voice was also like the unpleasant harsh sound of two rocks rubbing and shaking, "You want to beat me too?" she laughed ugly.

"What did you do with that warrior?!" Isu cared more about Galadia's situation than if she could defeat her.

"Hehe~ You'll be able to experience it soon. What is hell!" She didn't answer Azu's question. The long, scarlet tongue sticks out and licks his arm as if he were enjoying it.

"Although you warriors are hard to eat, I don't mind if you eat a few~" Her golden vertical pupils glanced at the three of them. An inexplicable feeling of helplessness rose in the hearts of the three of them, who were locked by her and had no power to fight back.

"Ha!" Helen was the first to liberate the demonic power. withstood the coercion of the other party.

"What's so great about you!" the outstretched arm slashed at the Awoken with the power to easily shatter the boulder. Devy also followed, and although he couldn't stretch his arms like Helen after freeing his demonic power, his speed increased a lot. Almost at the same time as Helen's greatsword came to the Awoken.

"Your painless attack is useless to me no matter how many times you come~" Her words are not wrong, she is not only the color of the skin like a rock, but even the strength is at the rock level, no, it is better than a rock. After all, a casual blow from an ordinary warrior could easily destroy a large rock, and now the full force of the two of them only left two shallow sword marks on her body.

"Hehehe~" The awakened man laughed weirdly, and the piercing laughter echoed in his ears while Divi flew upside down. Next up to Divi is Izu, who has liberated his demonic powers. Instead of using a high-speed sword, he slashed at the head of the Awakened with all his own strength.

"Click!" The big sword in his hand did hit the other party, but it was only that, the big sword was only embedded in the other party for a few millimeters, and it might not even be a skin injury for the awakened.

If only Jen were here, this is the type Jane is best at dealing with. Isu couldn't help but think of Jane, who had just been separated.

"Is now the time when you can be distracted?~" The Awakened's golden eyes stared at Isu coldly, and the gray arm punched her.

"Ahem-" This blow seems simple, but the force is quite large. Isu felt that her internal organs were about to be shattered by her power. The Awoken were about to strike another blow at Ys, but were stopped by Helen and Divi, who rushed to help.

"Susu, don't you?" Helen was already very affectionate to Isu.

Isu gestured that he was fine, and saw an opportunity to step forward to help. There was a moment of inseparability between the three of them and the Awakened.

"I hate it when bugs like you fly around in front of my eyes!" The Awakened suddenly swelled in several circles, gray barbs covering her body, and the place of her fist was replaced by a long thorn whip.

The three of them gradually fell to the upper hand, both barbs and thorn whips greatly increased the difficulty of attacking the awakened itself, and at the same time, new wounds on their own bodies were constantly appearing. If this continues, I am afraid that sooner or later, someone will not be able to hold on and withdraw, breaking the current relatively deadlocked war situation. When the time comes, it will only be Isu's side that will lose!

"Ahh The liberation of demonic power has exceeded 50 percent! It continues to climb!

"Drink!" followed by Divi, who had almost the same changes as Helen, except that the physical changes were not so obvious, but the momentum was far from being comparable to what he could just be.

The two thorn whips of the Awoken were cut off almost instantaneously at the moment of Divi and Helen's transformation. The two of them slashed down countless barbs in one fell swoop.

"Yes, you guys!" suddenly shot two gray spears from the chest of the Awoken, smashing the greatsword in the hands of Divi and Helen. A giant scorpion-tail-like hook appeared on her tail and stabbed at Divi as she flew upside down, and the regenerated thorn whip swung at Helen.

Yzu only had time to free Helen, who was unable to fight back, from the thorn whip, but Divi took the blow solidly, the Scorpiontail Hook piercing her abdomen and pinning her to the ground.

"Divi!" and Isu shouted, their outstretched arms slashing at Scorpiontail almost before Helen hit the ground. As reckless as the rest of her!Isu struggled to fend off the Awakened's attack on Helen. Fortunately, Helen also succeeded in cutting off the scorpion's tail. Divi pulled out the broken scorpion tail on his abdomen with a look of "no pain at all".

Seeing the frantically bleeding from his abdomen, Divi didn't care at all. Her abdomen is regenerating at a rate visible to the naked eye.

"Divi's strength is regeneration~!" Helen laughed and rushed towards the Abyssal again.

"Divi, you can rest for a while. Izuku clenched the sword in his hand, and his right arm swelled again. The third time - high-speed sword!
