Mythical Slayer: Mythical Girls Contract

What Kai remembered from last night was a fire. A great fire erupted from his body as soon as he woke up, and a person.

That person was clad in black, similar to the one in front of him, but they were different. As the person from last night chased him through the city, Kai burned him to ash already.

His fighting spirit increased. His hunger for a battle that he didn't know had surfaced in his mind. For now, he wanted to beat the guy in front of him because he had destroyed his restaurant, the one he cherished the most after his own life.

Thankfully, his grandfather wasn't home this morning. He didn't know how to explain this situation, as Kai was still confused. Besides, he wasn't confident in keeping his grandfather safe, even with his newfound power.

He felt like he was involved in something far bigger than he thought, but there was something more important than that.

A Phoenix was real. A beast from the Myth was real. Joy filled Kai's heart as the corner of his lips curled up in anticipation of meeting other Mythical and Supernatural Beast. He had always loved those.

"What is that?" The man in black murmured, confused.

It seemed he didn't know what Kai had done. Rather, the fact that the Phoenix, Amber, fused with Kai was ridiculous.

"How can a human use a Phoenix fire without a tool?!" He shouted, pointing his gun at Kai.

Kai ignored the fact that a gun was pointed at him. In his memories from last night, the fire could melt the bullet just fine. So he wasn't afraid at all. Instead, he answered the man's question.

"I am also confused. What's happening? Why did you attack us? But I know one thing. You destroyed my restaurant and tried to kill me. That's enough reason for me to beat you up."

The word conscience was gone from his dictionary. He didn't even feel guilty about killing a human last night, burning him to a crisp.

Kai was just a normal human before this; that was a fact. But after fusing with Amber, he was filled with a euphoric feeling of wanting to fight, to do battle.

[That's true, Kai! He attacked us out of nowhere, so let's burn him!] Amber's voice filled with excitement, just like Kai's. [Let's absorb his Spirit Power after we kill him! At least he will have enough to increase your power slightly. I will teach you how later.]

He didn't know what Spirit Power Amber talked about, but he nodded slightly to answer her.

The man narrowed his eyes and pulled the trigger unannounced. The gun in his hand was a Calico M950, a small gun with a 100-rounds capacity. The gun itself had significant power, but Kai only raised his hand as he watched the bullets travel toward him.

"That's useless now." A feral smile appeared on his face. "Go."

He commanded the fire around him, and it danced around, blocking the bullet as if it was alive. Phoenix Fire was one of the hottest flames, and it was way beyond the melting point of the bullet. It only left a liquid that dripped to the floor, burning it.

That could be dealt with later. The man's face twisted in horror. He knew that the gun wouldn't work, so he quickly discarded it and took out a piece of paper from his coat. The paper was white in color, with some runes written in black ink on it.

It was a normal paper at a glance, and Kai thought so too.

[Be careful, Kai. That's a talisman. Possibly a water Talisman, looking at the water rune written on it.]

"Talisman?" As Kai muttered, the man threw the paper into the air, with the runes written in black ink facing him. Magically, the paper floated as the man extended his hand.

Some light appeared from his hand, making Kai narrow his eyes slightly.

"Oh, water Spirit. Hear my plea and attack my enemy!" The enemy chanted, and the light intensified, engulfing the Talisman. The paper glowed, and a torrent of water jet shot toward him shortly afterward.

"Put the fire out with water, huh? But do you know that water can evaporate?" Kai moved his hand slightly.

The fire followed his hand movement and created a wall in front of him, blocking the water jet. The water evaporated as soon as it touched the firewall, turning into hot steam that quickly filled the room.

[Kai, he's trying to escape!] Amber's worried voice rang inside his head. At that moment, he knew that his enemy deliberately made a smokescreen to escape. He had no intention of beating him from the start.

[If he managed to escape, then he will certainly ask for reinforcement. Slayers always worked in a team of two. Possibly, this man is the teammate of the guy you killed yesterday. It would be bad if he reported our existence to his base. More Slayers will come!]

"That would be troublesome. So we chase after him, right?"

[Yeah! I can feel him moving to the west, deeper to Chinatown.]

"Got it. I hope you can explain what a Slayer is and why they targeted you and me later."

[I will.] Amber replied.

The fire that danced around his body retreated. It disappeared, but it did not actually disappear. The fire returned to Kai's body. He dashed out of his restaurant without waiting for anything else. Once he was outside, he noticed that he saw no one, and the sky looked rather strange. It was a little distorted.

"What is this?"

[We are inside a barrier made with Talisman. The damage caused inside will not affect the real world, and only the targeted and people with Spirit Power can enter. Possibly that guy set it before entering the restaurant as the barrier seemed to end in that corner where the Slayer ran to.]

Amber explained as Kai kept running. He could easily move 100 meters in less than 6 seconds, breaking a world record.

"That mean my restaurant is fine? Neat. Now I just need to beat him half-dead and question him without killing him. Also…I feel stronger and faster than usual."

[Of course! Your physical ability is enhanced after I fused with you. Even an Olympic athlete won't be able to compete with you now.]

That explained his newly found strength. Kai nodded, satisfied with the explanation. Sometimes, a simple explanation like what Amber did was the best.

"That's amazing. He's in this corner, right?"

[Yeah, just go to the right.]

Following Amber's instruction, Kai turned to the right into the corner. It was a dead-end. Chinatown had a lot of dead-ends which confused strangers. Apparently, that also included the Slayer that attacked him.

The man in black looked confused and terrified as he looked at Kai. He couldn't run anywhere again. The only exit was blocked by Kai.

"Hi." Kai greeted the man as he stepped forward, little by little. "I hope you're ready for a beating." He had a feral smile on his face as he lowered his stance.

The man also took a fighting stance with his hands up, covering his face. But he misjudged Kai's real strength.

In less than a second, Kai covered their distance with one kick on the ground, which created a little crack, and punched his guts.

"Gah!" The man bent forward, but Kai didn't finish yet. He continued by sending a knee-up against the man's chin, effectively sending him flying and knocking him up simultaneously.

The Slayer fell to the ground with a loud thud sound. As soon as the man got knocked out, the sky turned normal immediately, as if the power supplying the barrier had been cut off entirely.

Looking at the man on the ground with eyes rolled back in white, Kai crossed his arms and said, "That's what you get from messing with my restaurant, bastard."
