Chapter 44: Chapter 42
Miko dodged a slash from a spear as she ran her stolen sword through her attacker. Kicking him away from her, she used him as a foothold to dodge a large hammer that landed in her previous position.
She landed beside Reid who flash stepped forward, appearing beside the hammer user and cutting through their neck with his blade.
Miko appeared behind him, blocking a large sword that threatened to end them both. With the attacker's hands on his sword, he was left unguarded against Reid's sword that pushed into his chest and through his heart.
His body immediately lost power as it dropped to the floor lifelessly. The army surrounding the two of them looked on warily at the deadly combo of the mother and son duo.
It had been over twenty minutes since they started their siege but no matter how many people they threw at them, they not only managed to survive but also fight back.
"They can't keep this up forever! Keep going!" One of them shouted to the delight of Vivian who sat atop a building, watching everything unfold.
Within the time they had invaded, the giant had decimated three quarter of the village and its people. The soldiers who had tried to fight it back lost their lives immediately. There was still a decent amount of men fighting back but she had given top priority to the death of Miko and her son.
"Having fun?" A voice said from behind her, barely moving her.
"She has been a thorn in my side for so long. Finally I will kill her." She answered with all seriousness.
She turned her head to see a figure clad in black, the cloak he wore covering all his features leaving his identity unknown.
"This isn't what she ordered us to do. She wants the boy alive yet you ordered them to kill them both." The deep male voice said indifferently but curiosity could be felt in his tone.
"Don't worry about that. I'll take care of it." She said rudely. The figure stayed silent for a moment. Vivian looked back again only to find that he was no longer there.
"Fucking prick." She muttered under her breath before focusing on the fruit of her work in front of her.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Reid, we need to end this fast. Do you have any way to deal with multiple enemies at once." She asked as they stood side by side, neither of them letting their guard down.
It was absurd to ask him that but her son always seemed to surprise her. She hoped he had something hidden that could assist her in dealing with this.
Reid looked at his aura bar which had barely dipped since he started fighting. He had minimized the use of aura techniques to save his aura for when he needed it.
His sparing use of his aura coupled with the rate at which he regenerated it kept him at an almost full bar. This was as long as he stuck to using [Flash Step] but now the situation called for a change in plan.
"Yes!" He answered to her relief. Not bothering to ask what it was, she spoke quickly.
"I'll take the ones in front of us, you take care of the ones behind us." She said as the adjusted their position, now standing with their backs to each other.
"Now!" She signaled as her sharingan spun, morphing to form a new pattern. Her eyes opened wide as she glared at the coming wave.
"Amaterasu!"
With that call, a black flames appeared on the bodies of the men at the front of the wave. She pumped more aura into her technique as the black flame surged further, spreading with even the slightest touch until everyone in her sight was kissed by the dark flames.
"What is this!?"
"Get it off me!!!"
"Put it out! Put it out!!!"
These were the screams that rang the loudest among the others. She felt a warm liquid flowing down her cheeks, deactivating the mangekyou immediately.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After the signal was given, Reid wasted no time in sheathing his sword on his back. He gripped his left wrist as he crouched, putting his hands to the floor.
His wrist was immediately flooded with lightning. Less than a second later, his body was also covered in lightning. The lightning shot from his body forward towards the crowd of enemies in front of him.
The conductive armor and gear that they wore proved to work against them as the powerful lightning crashed into them, traveling through and into their body.
With how much he had leveled up the skill, it was able to do much more than just paralyze enemies. The lightning, upon passing the heart via the breastplates they wore, destroyed their hearts.
He ignored the countless notifications that popped up in the corner of his eye. He looked back to his mother to see what was left of them army in front of her.
Black flames still burned the bodies were nothing more than ashes. He also noted the thin stream of blood from her eyes with worry.
"It's nothing, I'm fine."She said, noticing his concern. He took a quick moment to check his status.

He cringed at the amount of aura that move had cost him. He had lost track of the amount of times he had leveled up and the amount of points he had received.
Right now he couldn't afford to be stingy with the points and immediately used them all. Right now, he also needed to regenerate his aura back so the [Wis] stat would also have to increase.

Satisfied with the allocation, he brought his focus back to his surroundings. With [Area Sense], he could feel people disappearing from his range of perception.
They weren't running out of his range, they were simply disappearing.
'They are dying…' A hollow thought appeared in his mind. His eyes then narrowed as he felt something else.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"How!" Vivian who was watching from the roof now stood there fuming.
"How does she have those eyes!?" She raged upon seeing the black flames that devoured her army.
Nobody besides Reid and Lisa knew that Miko possessed such eyes. It existence wasn't even known to most of the other clan members. Another cause for concern was the display of control by Reid. Having two semblances is unheard of and downright impossible.
"Yet…!" She growled as she grit her teeth.
'This is unexpected but it's nothing I can't handle.' She thought as she formulated a new plan to accommodate the change.
'I'll have to-' *BOOM!*
Before she could complete her thought, something crashed into where she stood.
