My Second Life in Another World

Chapter 247: The Plot Thickens Or Not?

"Yep, I wanted to see the animated version," Jin-ah said with a big smile.

"Well I guess it ain't that bad," Haru spoke with a smile and looked at the screen to see the animated Naruto.

Even if he calls it a screen this place is more like a private theatre.

'Resha went overboard after I asked her to build this place,' It has been a few days since the fight with the Asuras and his talk with Jin-ah.

'And I wish the other anime fans could see this high-tier animation,' Haru thought it was quite a shame since this version was only made for him by his mother.

It had the best animation, VAs, and Fight choreography he had seen, it was the same for all the anime he watched. His mother went quite overboard with this.

'Anyway let's enjoy this once more,' Haru shook off his thoughts and focused on the screen.

The same night Haru and Jin-woo went to train in the Relictombs like usual.

"Why do I feel that flame is too dangerous?" Jin-woo muttered while observing Haru sitting inside the fire without any worries along with Raum.

"Of course it is dangerous," Jin-woo looked over and saw Kurumi looking at him in her fox form.

"I don't understand why I feel that way," Jin-woo spoke plainly while looking at the fire, he didn't even want to turn around in front of it.

And he wasn't shocked at Kurumi talking since Haru explained about her. 'So she is like Ashborn is to me? But she is sticking around because Haru hasn't gotten the powers fully,' Jin-woo wondered just how strong Haru would be after he gets after he fully accepts her power.

"He will be a lot stronger than he is currently," Kurumi spoke simply since it was easy to figure out what Jin-woo was thinking.

"…I see," Jin-woo looked down while deep in thought, to be honest, he wanted to know where his current power level stood.

He was pretty sure he could defeat all of the rulers and Monarchs, but he had never fought with Antares since Haru took care of him, so he was curious how he'd fare against Antares and Haru himself as he is now.

But there was a problem as well.

'He hasn't even got his full power yet, how strong would he be when he gets all of it?' Jin-woo looked at Haru and the flames around him. It was clear that the flames had a deeper meaning than just being used as a means of meditation or body training.

"So you wanna go up against Antares?" Kurumi asked Jin-woo shocking him a little but he didn't think much of it for the moment since something else took over his mind.

"Can I?" Jin-woo had an expectant look on his face.

"If you want to I can help you," Kurumi shrugged and Jin-woo nodded accepting it. he was getting a bit bored sitting and meditating, So the fight would also be a nice way to lossen up his body.

"Ok then use that portal," Kurumi pointed behind Jin-woo with her paw but Jin-woo didn't leave but looked at her.

"Hmm, what?" Kurumi asked.

"You are talking a lot today," Jin-woo spoke while folding his arms, since normally Kurumi just sleeps on top of Haru's head without bothering with anyone but today she took initiative for some reason.

"I just do things when I feel like it," Kurumi answered flatly.

"Well...ok," Jin-woo shrugged and entered the portal because talking more won't get him anything since Kurumi, Talking to her was like talking to Haru if don't want to say something they won't.

'I wonder where she came from?' Jin-woo wondered as he passed through the portal since he hasn't heard anything about her, it was like just appeared out of thin air even Haru himself didn't know anything or so it appeared that way.

"Well whatever, I should focus on getting stronger now, since without being strong enough to counter, knowing things or not knowing them makes little difference," Jin-woo muttered and looked at his opponent who was Antares looking at him with an arrogant smile.

Kurumi just closed the portal and looked at Haru for a brief moment.

"Come out," Kurumi spoke with a flat tone.

"…."

But there was no response and there was no reply.

"I know you are here, don't think you can fool me," Kurumi said and her red eyes flashed a little.

"Oh My~ didn't know you would find me in your 'current state'," With a soft and soothing voice a familiar figure dressed in an orange Yukata with wild long red hair reaching his feet appeared in front of Kurumi.

"It is not like you were trying to hide," Kurumi said with an unamused look.

"I was trying really hard you know, though I wonder if you like my little present 'cause you sure are making use of it," The figure spoke with a smile looking at Acala's avatar.

"Leave the unnecessary talk out, Why are you still here?" Kurumi spoke with a dangerous tone making the area around them shake violently.

"You should know, it ain't that easy to 'kill' me, I have built up quite a resistance for it over time," The figure answered with a smile.

Kurumi stared at the one in front of her, a lot of things were going through her mind at this moment but there was one thing that she needed to do currently.

"Thinking of killing me already? Quite the nasty one, aren't cha Ku-Chan?" The figure said with a smile but the figure made a very big mistake at this moment.

"Don't you dare call me that with that face," Kurumi spoke in a tone so cold that even Haru would be surprised if he heard it.

"Oh! scary scary~," The figure looked a little 'scared' and moved back.

"Drop the act," Kurumi looked at the figure without letting her eyes off Haru in the distance.

"As expected it was the right thing to come here," the figure spoke with an amused look.

"Hmm? You are saying that you aren't afraid of me now that you have resistance against 'Death'? Are you forgetting what I am capable of even in my current form?" Kurumi spoke with a calm look but her eyes were fixed on the figure.

"No No, That is not what I mean," The waved his hand with a smile and then his smile morphed into a crazy one while he continued.

"You can't do anything to 'me' since 'I' am here,"

"..." Kurumi stayed silent and looked at the figure.

"Anyhow, I wanted to see if you are using my gift properly and I have to say that I am disappointed," The figure looked at Acalanatha and had a sad look on his face.

"That isn't how you use him you know, you are ruining my cool Aca-chan~," The figure cried out like a child and Kurumi just didn't pay him any thought.

"It is under my control now, So I'll use it however I want," Kurumi spoke simply and kept an eye on Haru.

'Anything that has desire be it alive or not is mine to control, it doesn't matter what tricks you use nothing will change,' Kurumi thought while looking at the figure.

"I have to say it is very shocking to see you coming in front of me, I was sure you would be hiding given your current state," Kurumi said plainly while laying out several barriers to prevent the figure from running away.

"Doing the opposite of what your enemy thinks is a natural move, Surprising isn't it?" The figure grinned widely without bothering with the barriers.

"It is surprising, but I am going to end you here," Kurumi spoke as she turned into her human form. The pink mist started to come out of her and surrounded the area.

"Do you really think so?" The figure smiled and Kurumi's eyes widened in an instant because the fire giant enveloped Haru completely turning into a ball of flames with him at the center.

"Did you really think that just because you have it under your control I wouldn't be able to interfere with it? First me and now this, You are losing your touch Ku-Chan, Acalanatha isn't just a guardian that protects but also the most destructive force when it is needed to be, it is funny how the gentlest hands that protect people can be the one that ruthlessly reaps out lives when needed~," The figure spoke jovially ignoring the cold eyes from Kurumi along with the shaking space.

"I'll kill you," Kurumi shouted and was about to move but…

"Are you sure you have time to waste on me now~?"
