(MC POV)
So this crazy girl can smash apart continent sized rocks with her bare fists. I'm not sure if I should be worried or impressed.
She probably has all her stats pumped into strength and agility and nothing else. Considering her past self, I wouldn't be surprised if that was the case.
The most worrisome thing was that red aura thing that's cloaked around her, no doubt being the cause of her abnormal strength and speed.
If I can dispel it, I might be able to render her powerless.
I would just need to understand where her power was coming from and cut it off from the source, which was obviously easier said than done.
It's like trying to pick out a specifically coloured ball in a giant tub filled with coloured balls and you don't even know how many of that colour you need are hidden in there.
And I'll need to do it while that crazy girl is trying to beat the crap out of me too.
Speaking of which…
That crazy girl is now jumping straight at me once again with her fists clenched and aiming at me.
I deflected her punches away with the back of my hands, ducking under one of her jabs to deliver an elbow strike to her abdomen.
The red aura seemed to compress at the point of impact, nullifying my attack.
Out of the corner of my eye, I saw her leg raising to kick at my head.
If I was alone, I would have leapt away at that instance. Fortunately, I was not.
A shield morphed out from my shoulder and blocked the kick, surprising the crazy girl.
While her attention was still on the shield, I finished charging the lightning bolt that blasted out from my elbow still connected with her gut.
For the third time, this lunatic girl was sent crashing back down to the ground, flattening a large group of monsters that were in the impact zone.
These monsters really are endless it seems, they just come pouring out from the holes in the ground to replace the ones that have fallen.
I raised my hand once more and an even larger meteor than the one before crashed down on top of her before she could recover.
"Master… I think that pretty much killed all the monsters in the entire area…" Xun Guan commented.
I shrugged, "Pretty sure there's more of them coming out from the holes anyway so I'm sure it'll be fine… Judging by the number of them who had turned up, this should serve as a break for those on the other side."
"Umm… If Master says so… But I don't think that was enough to stop her."
"Oh I know…"
Just as those words left my mouth, the meteor was smashed apart to reveal the crazy girl absolutely unharmed.
At this point, I'm pretty sure I'll need to drop an entire planet on her to even do any damage.
Tempting, but I don't think it's necessary right now because I just had an ingenious idea.
Instead of trying to specifically dispel whatever that red aura is, I can just dispel everything that was affecting her right now which is much simpler to do.
Just shovel out all the balls in the tub, basically. No need to find that specific coloured ball when you can just dump everything out.
All I needed was for her to be stuck in one place for a short moment and… Snap.
Just like that, her red aura faded and she fell back to the ground on her haunches, looking quite confused.
I landed in front of her, "Sorry about that, but I don't really want to be the cause of the annihilation of an entire Plane if I can help it. Why don't you be a good girl and sit still for a second?"
Her eyes widened at my words, "A… Aniue?"
Woah… She's not talking gibberish anymore? Did my dispel Technique also dispelled whatever was causing her to speak in gibberish? Are you telling me it was such a simple thing to resolve all this while?!
But still, the first words that came out of her mouth were no less baffling to me.
I narrowed my eyes at her, "Aniue? What are you talking about?"
"A… Aniue… It really is you… Aniue!"
She rushed up and tried to hug my waist but Xun Guan formed a wall and stopped her before she could reach me.
She looked at the wall in confusion, "Aniue? Why?"
I raised an eyebrow at her, "Why what? Woman, I have no idea who you are and you had been trying to kill me not just a minute ago. I don't think I'd trust you to be near me right now."
"Kill Aniue? I would never!"
"Then what the hell were you trying to do before? Pretty sure any normal person would have died from your punches you know?"
"But Aniue is strong? And I was holding back you know? This was all to dispel Aniue's curse!"
I raised my hand, "Alright, hold on a moment. There's something I want to address first, why are you calling me brother?"
"Because Aniue is Aniue? No... Did Aniue forget about me?"
"I don't think you are related to the Lindulf family are you?"
She tilted her head, "Lin… Dulf? What is that?"
"I thought so… Ok, I'll give you the benefit of doubt but I'll tell you that I have lost my memories before, so I may or may not have forgotten about you."
"Aniue has lost your memories? I… I see… Then Aniue really doesn't remember me or your past?"
I shook my head, "Like I said, I have no idea who you are. The fact that you attacked me first still remains, so do forgive me for still being wary of you."
She bowed her head, "I am sorry, Aniue! I thought Aniue was cursed like everyone I have met so far which resulted in me attacking you! I only wanted to subdue Aniue so I could save you!"
"Cursed? What do you mean by cursed?"
"Umm… That is… Everyone around me seems to be speaking gibberish. I couldn't even make out what words they said and the first thing I was subjected to when I came to this world was being sold as a slave so…"
I held up a hand, "Hold up. You came from another world?"
She nodded, "It seems Aniue really forgot… I am Tsuki, your little sister from Earth. You are my Aniue. You… You were assassinated by our business rivals and left me behind…"
Ok, every question I ask seems to beget even more questions. I don't even know where to begin from now.
I sighed, "Look… Tsuki, was it? I would very much like to just sit down somewhere and talk about all you just told me and get some answers right now. But the thing is that I am having some problems with these monsters that are crossing over to the Spiritual Plane that I have to deal with… So would you mind postponing our talk for a little while?"
"Of course, Aniue. Tsuki will always follow you wherever you go!"
I don't know about you, but those words sound rather ominous to me…
Right, let's not think too much about it now, I need to deal with this rift problem first so let's just go back and help them exterminate this monster party before things get even more complicated.
Ugh… I really don't want to deal with this anymore...
