The Isekai Game

Together!

The armor flew headfirst towards the two. Vanessa jumped out of the way whereas Logan held his ground. The smack from the helmet to the little shield clung a vibration to Vanessa's ears. Logan took a dive, hitting the helmet with his sword.

"Vanessa!" he yelled, as he landed a second strike before taking a defensive stance.

Slow and methodical punches came from the gauntlets to Logan's shield. Each sending him back with the wave of energy that traveled through his body. If his stance was less than perfect, he would've been dead.

Vanessa seemingly pierced her sword straight through midair at the armor. Many thought she turned useless. Within seconds of that thought, frost emitted from her feet. A blast of crystalized ice shot from her sword. The crystals rose over 10-feet, capturing the armor.

It's gauntlets spun around its body like a Beyblade. The ice itself did nothing to truly impede it. Taking advantage of the reduced speed while spinning, Logan ran away and yelled again that it was a DPS race.

He threw a series of cards that exploded. None of which stopped the armor. Vanessa stabbed her blade into the ground to release her Venus Flower.

Swirls of flames glowed from the ground underneath the armor. One by one they erupted, twirling into the armor.

Its heat was felt even by Logan who was a considerable distance away. Vanessa's top layer of skin burned till it was oozing out clear liquids.

The armor stopped spinning and brought its hands to its front. Though her blade burned, Vanessa pulled it out for mobility. Energy drew into the Armor's grasp at shades of mono colors.

"Run!" demanded Logan as he came towards the armor.

The armor shook as though it was going to fall apart. Instead the energy it stored continuously fired out like a cannon. It rotated its body counterclockwise to destroy everything in the area.

Vanessa rolled under the blast, scrapping her burnt skin.

The legs of the armor were sliced by Logan who withstood the heat. Though the cannon came towards him, he didn't fear it. Logan easily dashed to each side of the armor to strike its joints and avoid being hit.

He felt the change in the air. As if a tornado was compressed towards him. The pressure was felt when Vanessa struck the armor.

The legs shot from under it. The cannon stopped. Its head fell forward to the ground.

"Hit the head!" yelled Logan as he ran past her.

She spun just as fast to race towards the head. A foot kicked at her. In a mere second, she blocked the attack and avoided a second kicked from the other foot.

Each time a foot retracted, it created a minor earthquake. Shakes and blows weren't enough to take Vanessa out. Her stance remained low and firm to maintain the power needed to deflect each kick.

Sounds of blades ripping along each other echoed into Vanessa's ear. She angled herself as the feet stroke against her. A single nudge away was all it took after to escape the Feet's combo. She was just in time as the gauntlets were just spinning near her.

Logan did well to keep the head down. He continuously released a barrage of downstrikes. Weakening of his little muscles wasn't something Logan knew. It was as though that little brat could beat on the head for days.

Each part of the armor strained itself to float in mid-air. They shook for a few seconds. Logan yelled for Vanessa to watch out as they reconnected.

Quicker than before, the armor gathered energy into its palms. Logan and Vanessa wasted no time in racing to it.

The armor shot out the energy. The cannon's pattern was unorthodox this time. Sometimes in wen clockwise, sometimes it didn't. The two ducked and dodged to the ground as necessary.

Both were leading from their maneuvers to evade the cannon. But when they came within range, they were determined to finish it.

Crowds of people watched as a flurry of dark blue tore through one leg of the armor. Likewise, a flurry of flames alongside it smashed through the other leg.

The armor wasted its cannon and jumped away. Batons extended from the gauntlets. The red glow in its eyes darkened to anger that was felt by the crowd.

"Vanessa! Together!" yelled Logan as he and Vanessa ran to the armor.

The armor sprung over striking down at the two. Vanessa jumped away whereas Logan used his shield to jump into the attack. It was a heavy attack that Logan could still feel brushing past him. No matter, he chopped straight for the knee cap.

The giant bayonets struck against Vanessa in what nearly appeared to be a blur for viewers. She held her own with short movements to deflect the attacks.

Each strike felt like a speeding truck. By stepping in between blows, Vanessa was able to get close enough to land a counter.

A heavy gauntlet came at her. She spun past it, landing a hit to the armor's arm. That strike stole the paleness from the armor and morphed it black.

Darkness grew from the black spot, consuming the entire arm until they both completely fell off. Likewise, the legs were already vanishing in smoke.

Nobody could deny the ash that blew from the armor's extremities. It stuck to their clothes and sucked into their nostrils. The feeling was dread. But not the end.

Both Vanessa and Logan were fixated on the remaining torso and helmet. It glowed its way into the air. A twirly noise rang from its insides.

"Run!" shouted Logan, causing her to nearly slip in ash.

Both dead sprinted to a building. Neither looked back at the jumping torso covered in black smoke. Its eyes now at its peak of onyx reflected the sun's shine.

"What's going on?" wondered Vanessa.

A beam of light firing past her like a meteor answered the thought. Its very sound smacked her eardrums after it buried into the ground. She hadn't known what it was like to race on the battlefield with bombs burst over her head.

This rain of sporadic bullets was the closest she has faced. The uncertainty within her begging not to get hit slowed her feet.

"Vanessa!" yelled Logan as he ran towards her.

Feeling his shoulder brush against hers drew her attention back. Run which way? Why is he running towards the hail of magical bullets? That moment just felt like a different place where Vanessa's heart didn't beat.

Logan's shield rose in time to get smacked down by a bullet that would've otherwise killed Vanessa. Keeping his shield up, Logan jumped to his feet and remained firm against the attack. His sweat dripped watching as each bullet shot out and land within seconds.

"Get behind me!" he yelled.

Knowing she messed up, Vanessa duck behind him. Another bullet struck his shield. This time the shield smacked him in the head. Blood oozed from above his left eye. The real pain was in the left arm.

It felt as though his bone had broken, allowing the shield to fall. The unstable shaking caused Logan to use his right hand to hold up his shield. A sharp pain plunged his left shoulder just as the firing stopped.

"Let's go!" he yelled standing tall.

His shield flopped down to the ground. Drops of blood fell from his fingertips. Logan sprinted ahead of Vanessa, clenching his blue sword. Only a few feet behind him was Vanessa running to finish the no bouncing armor.

Now in range, Logan and Vanessa sliced each side of the torso simultaneously. The armor was shot back with two tears on each side.

It jumped towards Logan given he was injured. However, he rolled clear under and countered from the other side.

Vanessa stabbed her katana into the armor, calling out, "Venus Flower".

Holding his sword in his mouth, Logan used his hood hand to throw a few cards at the armor, calling out, "Compress".

The swirls of flames appeared all over the armor. They erupted into spirals that stuck to the armor. Viewers compared the sight to a hoard of anacondas devouring a lion in the water.

Compression kicked in, pulling the flames insides, reddening the armor to smoke. Vanessa's already burnt arms were blessed for such a spell. Thankfully, that hot armor turned black.
