Chapter 1288: Charged Slash VS Chain Hammer Strike!
Clang!
Clang!
Inside the eerie green dimensional space.
The clanging sounds continued to ring out from a patch of grass on the Noah's Ark.
Two afterimages, one greenish-blue and the other orange-red, could be seen crisscrossing in the arena, engaged in an intense battle.
Meanwhile.
Mikasa and Akame stood at opposite ends outside the arena, their eyes closely following the two rapidly moving afterimages.
Both looked very serious.
Besides them, at the edge of the lawn, were Historia, Rico, Kurome, Tsunade, and others.
They remained silent, seemingly also waiting for the outcome.
Rumble!!!
Suddenly, a huge explosion and rumble, accompanied by a bright flash, came from the horizon.
But the few people present paid no mind to this, still fully focused on watching the battle on the lawn.
This was because the sound was produced by the Tailed Beast Bomb of the Juvenile Ten-Tails.
Recently, Esdeath often fought it outside, so they were all used to this.
"Agave! Use Charged Slash!"
Just as the sound of the 'Tailed Beast Bomb' gradually subsided.
Akame, seeing the two afterimages separate again after colliding, immediately cried out.
The next second.
The greenish-blue afterimage in the arena paused its movements, revealing its clear form.
It was actually an Agave, entirely greenish-blue, with two sword-grass on its back, and eyes and a mouth.
Its expression seemed unhappy, full of displeasure, with a cool demeanor.
But it still obeyed Akame's instruction, holding the 'sword-grass' in its hand and assuming a charging stance.
Instantly, the 'sword-grass' emitted a bright light, as if some kind of energy was beginning to gather.
"Now!"
"Pineapple Chain Blade, use Chain Hammer Strike!"
On the other side, Mikasa seized the opportunity to issue an instruction to her magical plant.
Perhaps she was a bit excited.
As she shouted, she also forcefully swung her right hand.
The Pineapple Chain Blade, which had leaped into the air, immediately followed the instruction and swung the two orange-red chain blades in its hands at the Agave that had just begun charging.
Swish! Swish!
In an instant, the chain blades rapidly extended, bringing with them bursts of rapid whistling sounds.
Their speed was very fast, binding the Agave tightly in the blink of an eye.
Preventing it from swinging its arms to attack, even if its 'sword-grass' turned into a 'light sword'.
At the same time, the Pineapple Chain Blade landed, while the Agave was lifted into the air.
"What?!"
Akame was full of surprise. She hadn't expected Mikasa's magical plant to hide such a skill.
But constrained by the battle rules set by Lord Im.
She could only watch helplessly as her Agave was violently slammed onto the ground by the Pineapple Chain Blade.
Thud!
A muffled sound rang out on the lawn. The Agave's eyes turned into swirls, and it immediately fell unconscious.
"Sister actually lost..." Kurome outside the arena was a little unhappy.
Then she looked at the Chomper beside her and thought to herself:
"What a pity. The Tier 1 Chomper is too slow and doesn't have many skills yet. It's impossible for it to beat the Pineapple Chain Blade."
Otherwise, she really wanted to go up and fight Mikasa.
On the other side.
Akame had already walked in the arena, took out a 'Purple Butterfly Emergency Pill', and put it into the 'Agave's' mouth.
Soon, a faint purple mist appeared on the Agave's greenish-blue skin.
Then she looked up at Mikasa, who was walking over with the Pineapple Chain Blade, and showed a brilliant smile.
"The timing of your skill use just now was very precise. You were waiting for me to use Charged Slash from the beginning, weren't you?"
Mikasa admitted generously: "Yes. I looked through some magical plant encyclopedias these past two days, and it just so happened to have information on Agave."
"The Tier 1 Agave only knows Charged Slash, and the charging time is three seconds, which is just enough for the Pineapple Chain Blade's Chain Hammer Strike to seize the opportunity."
With Lord Im's permission, each of these girls chose a magical plant to cultivate.
Yes, cultivate.
Im required them to only choose Tier 1 magical plants.
And incidentally, he also created a set of 'Magical Plant Battle Rules'.
Well... those who understand, understand. I won't elaborate further.
As expected, this kind of game where they command magical plants in one-on-one duels immediately got the girls hooked.
And the popularity of tennis instantly dropped to second place.
Even Historia was willing to stay on the Noah's Ark for a while longer.
Before, she would go to Paradis Island in the Titan World whenever she had time.
If Im wanted Historia to spend the night with him, he would have to notify her in advance through Stussy.
Of course, this also had a lot to do with the fact that the living conditions of the Eldians on Paradis Island were getting better and better, and she no longer needed to constantly keep an eye on them.
Only Esdeath's will to improve her strength was very firm.
Forcing herself to suppress the desire to participate, every time she finished training her physical ability in the 'Star Pressure Palace', she would drag the 'Little Ten-Tails' for a duel ten kilometers away from the Noah's Ark.
The 'Little Ten-Tails' wasn't stupid either.
Even if it had to use 'Tailed Beast Bomb', it wouldn't aim it at the Noah's Ark.
As for other places, it didn't matter. After all, there was nothing else in this dimensional space, so it could explode anywhere!
And no matter how much it exploded, it couldn't destroy anything, nor would it affect the outside world.
It could be said to be a quite perfect battleground.
"So Agave still can't beat Pineapple Chain Blade even at Tier 2?"
Akame and Mikasa were still talking about their magical plants.
The former looked down at the Agave in her arms, which had regained consciousness, with a calm expression.
Her desire for victory wasn't as strong as Kurome's, so this was purely casual chat.
"You can't say it definitely can't beat it. After all, the various abilities of magical plants will significantly increase as their tier improves."
Mikasa shook her head and replied.
"I just think Agave's skills are countered by Pineapple Chain Blade."
"Look, Agave's Tier 2 skill is Double Dragon Flash. Its effect is that after one charge, it can unleash two slashes simultaneously."
"But the charging time is still three seconds, so it's still targeted by the Pineapple Chain Blade's Tier 1 skill, Chain Hammer Strike."
"Furthermore, the Pineapple Chain Blade's Tier 2 skill is Swift Light Chain Attack. Its effect is to unleash sword aura from a distance, similar to a small flying slash attack, so..."
Historia, Rico, and Tsunade, who had gathered closer, listened very seriously to Mikasa's explanation.
From time to time, they would look thoughtfully at the magical plant they had chosen.
Rico chose Peashooter, possibly because she was good at using a gun.
Tsunade chose Bonk Choy...
And Historia, as the Heavenly Empress, chose the rarest variety of sunflower.
Mysterious Sunflower.
Constantly emitting a golden radiance like the sun.
Esdeath, also a Heavenly Empress, chose Glacier Mushroom.
Besides that, the Rose Witch that Im was preparing to give to the two of them was on its way.
"However, the encyclopedia says that when Agave evolves to Tier 3, it will awaken a characteristic called 'Rapid Charge'. It can shorten all charging time by one second, so it won't be so easy to catch then."
After listening to Mikasa, Akame nodded: "I'll also find an encyclopedia to look at when I go back."
"You can ask Nichika Ubuyashiki directly. Her Book-Book Fruit ability can create one for you on the spot." Mikasa said with a smile.
Akame nodded: "That's what I was thinking too."
They had already lived on the Noah's Ark for a period of time.
They had come to understand each other well, and had even developed considerable feelings.
"I heard Lord Im say before that after a while, the World Government will massively introduce magical plants to the Red Line of the Sea Star, and the official will also step forward to establish the 'Magical Creature Association', responsible for holding 'Magical Creature Battle Events'. It will definitely be very lively then!"
Historia smiled like a blooming flower.
She originally liked spending time with various animals, and also possessed a special temperament that could quickly calm down any animal, even those in a frenzy.
Therefore, she was very much looking forward to the appearance of the 'Magical Creature Association', and even more hopeful that she could participate in it.
"Magical Creatures? Not Magical Plants?" Kurome asked with doubt.
"Lord Im said that what can be used for battle then will not only be these magical plants from Jupiter, but also various extraordinary creatures from other worlds."
Historia began to explain gently.
"For example, the Danger Beasts from your Imperial Arms World, or the high-intelligence animals from the Sea Star mainland, like Imitation Baboon and Kung Fu Dugong. So they are collectively called 'Magical Creatures'."
"I see. That sounds really interesting..." Akame murmured to herself.
"We in the Ninja World also have powerful creatures, right? They should count too?"
At this moment, Tsunade suddenly asked. She was thinking about whether she could bring Katsuyu to participate in the competition then.
"Probably. I'll ask Lord Im later." Historia said with a smile.
"Then I'll leave it to Your Highness the Empress!"
Clang!
