“ This sure has gotten out of hand! ” 

 

Sliding on her armored feet/paws across the concrete street, the metal sends sparks flying from the tough prosthesis, Lycaon growls faintly at the monster in front of them. This time, different from the ants, they had stumbled on an even bigger fish.

 

It was big enough that her cybernetic legs had more than a dent from blocking this guy's attacks. However, she was sure to be able to block a few dozen more before doing serious damage.

 

“ Hahahah! What's wrong, Heroes!? You guys have been putting up quite the show against the brand-new bugs. WHY DON'T YOU PLAY WITH THIS KING FOR A BIT!”

 

A loud proud voice echoes from within the trees inside a small park Lycaon had just been sent flying away from.

 

* USH! * - In a show of strength, all the trees are cut to pieces and sent flying towards the buildings around the park, some even going for Lycaon who sternly kicked them away.

 

An enormous humanoid lion Thiren that had very likely undergone strong mutations stood in the middle of a small wrecked park, grinning widely upon seeing the wolf. Readying one of its sharp claws to strike towards her. - “ Found you, pack dog!.” 

 

●●● Beast King’s Pic ●●● 

 

Gritting her teeth, Lycaon’s feet dig into the ground as she prepares to try to move out of the move’s trajectory even if not being able to fully avoid it, she could still reduce the full damage she would’ve received otherwise.

 

Fortunately, a somewhat loud voice falling from the skies distracted the monster and established a window of escape for the wolf girl to regain some much-needed distance from the lion. 

 

“ HEY! UGLY CAT! “ - Descending from a high jump, Ellen shouts while falling like a frozen shooting star, her large scissors blade aiming for the Lion’s head as she does an over-the-head slash.

 

Grunting at the name, the lion arched an arm, sending slash-like sharp power waves rocketing towards Ellen.

 

 Frowning, a breeze started to sip out of her weapon as she spun the scissors sideways, cutting the slash in half just enough for her to squeeze through while the remaining of it continued, destroying a few buildings not far behind her.

 

 In a brief war cry, she aimed to impale his head again, this time the lion grunted, not having time to shoot another slashing move. And so he met the tip of the blade with his sharp claws.

 

The shark girl’s sharp teeth shut tightly, while fiery, glistening sparkles flew everywhere from the contact point of her blade and the beast’s hand.

 

Surprisingly, the giant lion’s body was moved back ever so slightly, even more so when he started to feel a cold sensation going down his arm. 

 

When finally paying full attention to whom he had considered nothing more than a random mob for a moment, he was faced with half of his arm turning into ice given the amount of time he had been in contact with the shark girl's weapon.

 

His now frozen hand broke into pieces when Ellen’s scissors pushed past it. Acting fast, she tried to the best of her abilities to use her remaining momentum to maneuver her blade like a spear and penetrate the weapon on the lion’s chest.

 

“ DAMN YOU, FISH WOMAN! “ - When the realization finally reached him in the form of a sharp pain in his chest, the lion attempted to use his other arm to cut down the girl into pieces when an extremely fast cybernetic leg kicked the arm away.

 

Spinning midair, Lycaon breathed out a cold breeze before the propellers on her legs were set to maximum output, and started barraging the now wide-open lion’s head with turning kicks. 

 

Her legs sped up so much that after a few kicks, afterimages started to slightly appear as she tried her best to knock the beast out cold. Or even better, killing it for good.

 

Seeing her boss was already going at it, Ellen clicked her tongue, seeing that only the top of her blade had entered his torso. Her freezing was way slower than it had been in his hand.

 

Pushing herself away from the now frozen Lion using her scissors as a support, she took some distance, now standing inside the destroyed small park.

 

 She knew what was about to come next and so the shark just stood there using her weapon as a resting pole, regaining her breath.

Delivering one last kick, Lycaon breathed a bit roughly before kicking the lion’s chest to push herself away, acquiring some space from the targeted area. - “ RINA!! “

 

Yelling out midair, to her cries a maid of gray hair descended right in front of the lion as electricity sparkled to life around her body and her two little helpers.

 

The Beast's eyes were completely white, Lycaon attacks might have left him with brain some damage.

 

“ As you command! “ - Shouting affirmatively, she points both hands towards the lion as a large quantity of electricity starts to explode around her arms.

 

A large sphere about one meter in width of pure, shimmering electricity soon formed in front of her palms from all the bolts going out of her body.

 

Confident, she gives a passive-aggressive push that sends the sphere towards the lion. It soon expands in size to surround the monster's body for complete, before he starts to trash around like crazy.

 

With loud screams echoing out of the so-called ‘ Beast King ‘ as his body spasmed around crazily.

 

From another corner, a smaller maid sneaks close to Ellen's side, seeing the shark whistle at the display while calling the floating one ‘flashy’. Holding her saw-like weapon shyly in front of her torso, Corin’s eyes also sparkle in awe. - “ Wow!!! Ms. Rina is incredible! “

 

Hearing the young one by her side, Ellen arches an eyebrow, lightly tapping Corin’s shoulder to earn her attention. - “ You know you're next, right? I mean, that saw of yours will surely rip apart that guy's tough skin.”

 

Showcasing a small smile the shark got back to her spectating section, the big cat’s body going crazy with all the bolts going from head to toe was surely a great spectacle. - ‘ That's what you get for calling me a fish. - * sigh* - If only there was something to- Uh?‘

 

Like destiny had heard her prayers, by Ellen's shoes a box of strawberry Pocky rested. Completely fine from any scratches or dust.

 

It had appeared out of nowhere, as if it had been teleported there.

 

Crouching down and grabbing the box of candy as stars shined into her eyes, she raised the box, believing that it was a sacred food from the gods. - “ Thank you, Kami-sama! “
