Chapter 3 - Woman In The Sky 2

Akira almost screamed like a little girl when the woman's features twisted into something truly demonic. Her once graceful and regal aura had vanished completely, replaced by the savage hunger of a barbarian who lived only to fight and kill.

Looking around frantically to see if anyone or anything could help him, he felt a kick in his abdomen; hit by what felt like a truck, he flew through all the houses, stopping hundreds of meters from his original location.

Coughing violently, he held his abdomen, trying to regain his cool; he looked at the woman still with that demonic smile. But this time he felt she wasn't as scary anymore.

No, he was confused about how he was still alive after being hit by so much force and then flying through all those houses. And not only that, but he barely had any wounds; he just instinctively grabbed his stomach after being kicked.

But it actually barely hurt; he looked at both his hands, remembering what had happened a couple of days ago at sea. He wanted to scream, shout, or do anything to show it was just a weird nightmare.

But he knew better; first was that, and now this. He had to come to terms with it, he had become a god slayer and he was most likely facing such a god right now.

He glared at the woman who was leisurely walking toward him, then closed his eyes, feeling the authority he had gotten after slaying Sedna.

***

[Authorities]

1. Mare Imperium: Dominion over water.

2. Rule of the Deep: Command over marine life and oceanic creatures.

3. Hell's Dominion: Authority over hellfire, souls, and the underworld.

***

Akira felt it. He didn't need to question it, he simply knew. The authorities slumbering within him awakened and athe air around him shifted.

The woman looked around sensing the change in Akira, her graceful demeaner vanishing once more as she grinned.

The two large cats that were pulling the chariot appeared next to her. Stopping she let the cats charge at Akira, watching eagerly what would happen.

Akira looked at the two large cats, Akira took a deep breath, rolling his shoulders as newfound confidence settled over him. 

The knowledge of his authorities no longer felt foreign, it was part of him, still unsure how any of this was real he glanced around hoping for anything that would prove he was going insane.

But he couldn't find anything, he sighed facing his current predicament head on. In one hand purple fire appeared, Akira glanced at it.

It was beautiful but the moment it appeared the woman showed some apprehension and the two large cats halted their approach growling intensely.

"It seems this hellfire is quite dangerous." Akira mumbled, forming it into mutliple arrows surrounding him, then with a single swipe of his hand he launched all the hellfire arrows at the two large cats.

But the cats were more nimble and most of all faster then Akira had expected. Before the arrows could reach their target the cats were gone, Akira looked around surrounding himself with hellfire arrows once more.

But not stopping at just that this time the once crystal clear sky was now full of clouds, and it began raining heavily.

The moment the rain hit him Akira felt himself become stronger, he felt like if he was hit by the womans kick once more he would have been able to react to her or maybe even dodge her.

He took mental notes of everything that was happening, he was a godslayer now so he had to do everything he could to learn his own authorities and how to use them.

After that he focused again looking around to see if he could find the two large cats whereabouts.

"Don't worry, they won't interfere anymore." Stated the woman, petting the two large cats.

Akira eyed the woman, "Why are you doing this? And another thing who are you?" he inquired, trying to figure out what was happening or where he was.

The woman scoffed, "You are unworthy of knowing my name, and as for why. I don't feel like answering you." she replied, a seductive smile on her face.

Akira wanted to punch her, she was the most obnoxious woman he had ever met only his sister was worse. He rubbed the bridge of his nose with a sigh.

"How about this then, I'll fight you seriously only after you answer a couple of my questions." Akira proposed trying to figure anything out.

The woman sat down on the back of one of the cats, tapping its back repeatedly with her index finger.

"Alright. But I will only answer questions that I want to answer and I decide how many or how little." she said with a teasing smile on her beautiful face.

Akira was exasperated, this woman was insuferrable. But he still needed the info so he could only let the woman be.

"So where are we? And who are you." he started with, trying to find any usefull clues to escape or find a weakness of the woman.

The woman looked at him, "You really are a fledging campione, oh well no matter. This place is called God's dimension and is formed when a God enters the mortal world, as for who I am I'll leave that to your imagination." she stated, giggling.

"God's dimension," Akira muttered to himself.

"How do you leave this dimension?" he went straight to the point, at this point he couldn't be bothered about trying to learn her identity.

He just wanted to leave as fast as possible and get the medicine. And after that get the hell out of Italy. 'I'll let the other so called campione deal with this nuisance.'

The woman looked Akira dead in the eyes, now it was her turn to be surprised. "Aren't you part of an organization that deals with rogue gods? How could you not even know that much?" she countered.

"Huh? There are organizations that deal with cases like this? Where are they then!" Akira shouted, looking around hoping to find any of those people so he could get the hell out of here.
