[3rd POV]
BOOOOOOOM!!!!
The street exploded.
Reze's body shot through the air like a shell fired from a cannon. The ground beneath Makima shattered as the Bomb Devil detonated mid-step, the blast swallowing the entire intersection.
Concrete folded.
Cars flipped.
Glass shattered in every direction.
But when the smoke cleared, you could see that Makima was not injured at all. In front of her was the Shark Fiend in his Devil form, the Shark Devil had emerged from the ground in front of Makima and tanked the blow for her.
"Thank you, Beam," Makima said, tugging at a small chain, "You're a good boy,"
If one looked closely, one could see the chain wrapping around the Shark Devil's neck. Beam in his Devil form looked like a demon Great White Shark that could use its fins almost like the legs of a centipede.
"Woof, woof," the Shark Devil barked like a dog for Makima.
Most readers shouldn't judge the devil harshly though, as they had proved themselves they would do the same. Even the author can shut it.
Makima raised a hand while using the Shark Devil as a shield.
"Bang,"
Reze disappeared.
The air itself cracked as an invisible force tore across the street. The Bomb Devil slammed through three buildings before crashing into the ground several blocks away.
Makima didn't follow and turned to her side, where an arrow was already coming at supersonic speed.
"Danger!!" the Shark Devil yelled sharply before shielding Makima again. The arrow pierced his head, and his eyes rolled back, making the demonic appearance look stupid.
"No one can harm Miss Makima while I'm here!!!" the Shark Devil bellowed.
Had Makima arranged a meeting between Beam and Denji, she might not have been able to control him this easily. She was glad that she never informed him about Denji being Chainsawman.
In the very next second, an arrow came from the opposite direction. The change in direction was too fast, showing that Quanxi was moving just as quick as her arrow if not more.
This time, Makima dodged the arrow and raised her hand towards the direction.
"Bang,"
In the distance, a building lost a huge chunk of structure as it was torn cleanly. Makima moved her hand to the side, delivering another shot.
"Bang,"
And another one.
"Bang,"
And another.
"Bang,"
"Bang, Bang, Bang, Bang, Bang...." Makima twisted her body in circles, her hypnotic eyes following the Crossbow Devil that moved too fast for the human eye to see.
Every shot missed was a shot that landed on a building, causing deaths of hundreds. The number of deaths only increased as she continued shooting.
Pushing off of a tower, Quanxi turned her body and created a line towards Makima. She zigzagged as she approached, dodging most of the invisible shots but some tearing into her body.
When Quanxi reached Makima, she sliced off her raised hand cleanly.
Makima backed away, her hand cut off as blood spurted out like a fountain.
Quanxi who had crossbows in both her arms, took another shot. At close range, Makima had no time to dodge even though her eyes saw it coming.
One arrow struck Makima's throat, the other pierced her eye and went through her brain.
Makima's body jerked slightly as the force pinned her backwards. The arrows nailed her to a ruined wall behind her.
The Shark Devil bit down on Quanxi's entire leg, then swiftly descended into the earth like it was water. As the devil swam down, Quanxi followed. But since her body could not slip through solid matter, she was literally used as a drill until her body crushed like a grape, making a deep hole.
Then a missile drove into the ground near the depression Quanxi created with her own body. The missile penetrated solid and detonated underground, blowing up the Shark Devil in the process.
It was a bunker destroying missile.
Quanxi healed and shot out from the ground quickly. Her body healed mid movement, causing her rather slow speed to pick up fast.
The two went after Makima again.
But by that point, Makima raised her other hand and a chain appeared.
Now she held two chains in her hands.
"Lifespan, 1000 years,"
Quanxi and Reze turned towards where the voice came. They saw the Angel Devil, with white wings almost glowing in the sun. The halo on top of his head had shifted and a weapon shot out from the halo.
A blade.
Reze exploded. She let her body be carried by the force and momentum of the explosion. Quanxi reacted fast too, quickly moving away as the blade shot out like a gun from a barrel.
The blade without handle spun. It looked like a long blade but not too dangerous. But as it spun, it gathered some sort of wind blade, turning it into a huge blender that was powerful enough to cut through skyscrapers like butter.
And slice through it did.
The spinning blade cut the trees like it was a lawnmower cutting grass. Tokyo was full of buildings that varied in size. Some were a hundred stories high, some only twenty. But the blade equalized all their height.
The wreckage the weapon left was simply devastating.
...
"Thanks for the weapon Angel," Makima said as Angel Devil flew down to her side.
The spinning blade came back like a boomerang and landed on Makima's arm. She grabbed the weapon at the middle where there was a handle. It looked similar to the double ended blade Thanos used.
As more of her dogs came, Makima was only getting stronger.
Soon enough, even before Reze and Quanxi approached, another chain appeared from Makima's hand.
Quanxi reacted fast because the chain extended towards her, on her shoulder and then behind her.
"BURN!!!"
The Flamethrower hybrid, another victim that was under Makima's control.
A huge fire came at Quanxi. The amount was so absurd that it looked like the cloud in the sky had come down. The fire melted steel, turned concrete into lava and reduced everything into cinders.
"Don't worry Miss Makima!! I'll protect you!!" the devil said, spewing out more flames in the process.
The hybrid had a flamethrower head and flamethrower guns for arms. The weapons themselves looked like something the flamethrower squad used in World War 1.
It began as two against one.
Now it was four against two in Makima's favor.
And although it may sound crazy, that was very fortunate. Had it not been for the distractions that Reze and Quanxi made or the one created by the Rumour Devil, Makima would've defeated both Reze and Quanxi by now.
But since almost all Devil Hunters were out, she didn't have anyone to control. Had they been nearby and not called away, the chains in her hands would exceed a hundred.
One may think that normal Devil Hunters were fodder that Reze could kill in seconds, but Devil Hunters had Devil Contracts. And Makima could've forced them to make a contract that would take their lives for power. Something which a conscious Devil Hunter would never do.
In that way, Makima controlling a Devil Hunter was infinitely more dangerous.
But currently, Makima only has her hybrids. Two that could fly, one that would swim on solid matter, so they reached Makima quickly.
Quanxi put an arrow through the Flamethrower's head. She moved fast, her burned body looked completely charred but she was healing. She was about to remove the head of the Devil but he spewed fire from the guns in his arms and took to the skies.
"I'll show you hell!!" the Flamethrower Devil bellowed, spinning rapidly and creating a hurricane made from Hell.
The fire he created were not really fire. The fuel spilt, and fire dripped onto the ground like fire rain.
Indeed, it looked like Hell on earth.
But then....
Boom, Boom, Boom, Boom, Boom, Boom.
Reze pushed herself, multiple explosions happened that increased her speed until sonic speed. The Flamethrower Devil didn't even have time to react before Reze was on her side.
The smoke Reze left behind her showed the chains of explosions.
BOOOOOOM!!!
Like a fly that was swatted, the Flamethrower Devil was dealt with. His body exploded downwards like an asteroid and crashed into the opposite side of the city.
Of course people feared Flamethrower. Especially since after the war.
But they feared bomb more.
But as one was taken out, another replaced him.
Makima gripped a new chain once more.
...
The sound of loud footsteps could be heard.
It sounded like King Kong was running. But even with the sound of a giant, the Devil was only the size of a man.
Quanxi moved away and something crashed where she once stood.
In a fight of this level, liquid, solid and gas felt almost the same. Wind had enough force to crush and sharp enough to cut.
So the ground caved deeply and then shattered into cobwebs.
The Violence Devil, with the mask off to show his rageful four eyes, landed a hammer kick on the place where Quanxi stood sub second ago.
The Violence Devil took the form of a man with bulging muscles. Veins could be seen all over and he had eyes that were bloodshot and there were four of them on his face.
The Violence Devil moved again, Quanxi couldn't track him at all.
Crossbow.
Who feared crossbow at this age?
Violence was feared more.
A kick to the stomach folded Quanxi like a doll before her body launched out towards Makima. Her flying body exploded a few seconds later again, her speed shattering the sound barrier.
Makima shot an invisible force towards her.
The momentum clashed and crushed Quanxi completely.
In the meantime, before her squeezed body could touch the ground, the spinning blade sliced her vertically in half.
Not only her, but the ground looked like it was parted like how Moses parted the sea.
Dead.
She was dead.
But only for a second.
Reze blurred past her, also before she reached the ground. She pulled at the arrow on her head. It was akin to pulling at Chainsawman's string after he died.
Her heart beat again and Quanxi came back to life, her body healing. But before anything else, Quanxi focused all her healing on her legs and ran away.
Seeing that, Makima turned to Reze who was sliding through the streets.
Boom!!
Reze released an explosion in the opposite direction. The force was perfectly calculated and she stood upright and still without sliding anymore.
Makima and Reze, their eyes clashed.
"I need to kill you first," Makima said.
Reze was not really trying to kill Makima over and over again like Quanxi did. She was clear in her purpose to stall.
But if Makima decided to focus on the Doll Devil or anything else, Reze would stop her. She knew her assignment perfectly and that's what made her annoying.
The perfect weapon.
Even now, when Makima didn't attack, Reze didn't make the first move.
Reze took on a fighting position.
"The one to bring me her head, gets to go on a date with me,"
..
..
..
Reze almost deadpanned.
Almost.
She didn't because her words had a steroids effect.
"ARGGGGGG!!!!" Galgali appeared on her side, his leg exploded in size, muscles bulging with strength mid swing and the attack aimed at her head.
"DIEEE!!!!" the Shark Devil, his body abused. Reze had dealt with him two times but he showed no fear.
The giant shark also increased in size and swam towards Reze like a shark gliding at the shallow depths of the ocean.
"FIRE!!!" The Flamethrower Devil also came back for vengeance.
A new chain.
The sound of blades cutting through the air. No, not blades, ropes. A whip.
The Whip Devil had appeared too. It wrapped around a building near Reze and swung towards her like a pendulum.
"Lifespan, 500 years," Angel Devil was not left out either as he appeared, flying like a bullet. He had a spear in his hands that looked holy. Like it was a weapon of God.
Enemies came from all directions and they were attacking at the same time.
But Reze didn't panic, the world lost colour from her perspective and time stalled for her so that she could make rapid moves.
BOOOOOOOM*
