( Saeko's POV )
When I handed her the items needed to heal Sakuya's old acquaintance, she bowed and took them very carefully, especially Yuuki's blood.
Sakuya: Thanks again for accepting my selfish request.
Saeko: oh you're not selfish, now come on, let's help your friend.
Sakuya: Yes, Miss Saeko.
Fighting hives was nothing new to me so as soon as the creature was in sight, I created a slicing shockwave with a swing of my Katana and one of the creature's arms flew off.
Saeko: Sakuya, I'll leave the loose Kabanes to you.
Sakuya: Yes, my lady.
The creature's body was just a bunch of Kabans attracted by the evolving Kabaneri in the center, so the creature's waste created every time it receives a blow also had to be dealt with.
I used my reaper aura to finish off a large number of Kabanes and left the rest to Sakuya, after a couple more swings the Kabaneri in the center was exposed but this time something different happened, the Kabaneri detached itself from the huge group of Kabanes and from her body a shiny metal was growing and around its arms a pair of sharp blades had formed.
She shot with incredible speed towards me and as I stopped her attack with my Katana I felt the superior weight of her attack, I couldn't help but think that this was the true evolutionary form of a Kabaneri, I put on a smile thinking about the fight I would have but at that moment the Kabaneri made an unexpected move.
She opened her mouth and threw a transparent blue sphere at me, the thing hit me directly in the head but the barrier of my armor absorbed the attack completely, that wasn't an energy attack, Kabaneris don't have that ability, but they can transform their blood into liquid metal and create metal cages around their organs, It's not a stretch to believe that she has the ability to temporarily harden the air around her to create a kind of metallic wind attack, I bet Yuuki will be very interested in this.
Sakuya: Miss Saeko, are you okay?!
Saeko: I'm fine, but I might have to cut off one or two of your friend's arms, that's fine we can reattach them later, right?
Sakuya: As long as you don't end up hurt, my lady, that's fine.
'Yuuki sure found a good maid.'
The Kabaneri swung one of his arms and unleashed another metallic wind attack, I stopped that attack with a swing of my katana and then I moved in front of the Kabaneri and cut off one of her arms, then I kicked her to send her crashing against the wall, the woman recovered quickly and came to me letting out an animalistic scream.
I threw my Katana and pierced her other arm pinning her to the ground, then Sakuya injected the girl directly into the heart and forced Yuuki's blood down her throat, immediately the metal growing on her body disappeared and she lost consciousness.
Saeko: Take her to Ayaka, she can treat her.
Sakuya approached to pick up the body and I told her to take the woman away from the battlefield, Sakuya gave a last bow and she left the station, I flew over the wall and observed the situation with the portals constantly spitting out enemies, at that moment one of the women who was Yuuki's teacher at that IS school appeared next to me.
Chifuyu: These things are endless.
Saeko: The BETAs aren't the problem, we need to take care of the one who's opening the portals, but something isn't adding up, he should only be able to open portals near him, I don't know how he is creating the ring of portals around the station.
Chifuyu: I think I know what to do.
The woman Chifuyu flew near the portals and she swung her katana towards the empty air, I tilted my head in confusion but then a crashing sound was heard behind her and the body of the hooded man and a hunter suddenly appeared next to a strange one-wheeled motorcycle, It seems they were moving around the station using some kind of camouflage.
I descended beside the woman and I began to feel a strong desire to test her strength.
Saeko: That was impressive. Would you mind having a friendly showdown whit me once this is over?
Chifuyu: Are you challenging me to a duel in the middle of a large battle?
Saeko: Yes, I am~
Chifuyu: Many peculiar people gather around Yuuki.
Saeko: you are not wrong about that.
With the portals closed the battle only turned more in our favor and when Biba's group seemed finished I saw Yuuki's Gear fly over the station going straight for the enemy leader.
It seemed like he was finally going to finish off Biba but his Gear suddenly stopped in mid-air, Looking at the situation better, I noticed that the Gear had been stopped by a man with red hair and a long black coat floating in the air, I only needed one look to know that he was the world traveler who was in charge of the hooded portal opener.
Viajero: Now you see Biba boy, you just have to take our deal and these kinds of problems will disappear.
The traveler closed his fist and Yuuki's Gear was compressed into something unrecognizable, the scene made my heart ache and the woman next to me also put on a devastated expression, that seemed more than a teacher's normal concern for her student, but then I remembered that this was Yuuki we were talking about.
The cockpit of the destroyed Gear was kick open and out flew Yuuki wearing his dragon armor, The traveler was talking to Biba confident of his own power but Yuuki gave him a harsh reminder that you should never let your guard down in the middle of a battle, with a powerful blow that sent him crashing to the ground, he then pointed a finger at Biba and charged a Cero attack but before he could fire, Biba was transported to an unknown location.
