Chapter 23 - Different World
* Longing Sword Art Online Ordinal Scale (by Yuna) *
AN: ...No comment... :)
---------------------
Opening her eyes, Camilla realized she was watching the night sky, while laying on her back.
'Oh hello there Ms. Tree, you're so tall you know that?
'Oh hehe why that was kind of you to say Mr. full blue moon.
'Oh you too think so Mr. red crescent? Hihi thank-
"HOLD THE F*CK UP!" She yelled sitting up on her butt.
She didn't know how much time has passed since their spacial transfer, but she knew she was too late.
All around them were waves upon waves of monsters, surrounding them.
If it wasn't for the barrier the little girl had created, they would've been already dead.
Thousands of attacks were directed at the barrier, whether they're short or long ranged, they all hit their stationary target
She turned around towards the faint familiar monotonic mumble.
"-battle preparations." At that, the little girl's tiny pale hands glowed black and silver before the familiar gooey substance surged forward.
Seeing the little girl in action brought her confidence back up.

A few seconds had passed and the barrier was still being bombarded by all sorts of attacks.
Outside, she estimated there were about a thousand monsters, if not more.
But only one monster stood out, with a cruel sadistic smile on its ugly distorted face.
It was about 3 meters tall, with threatening fangs coming out of its mouth, but had claws instead of sickles. A pair of membranous wings penetrated its back.
The overall structure was rather creepy to the eye.
Although it mostly had the same build as the other monsters, its eyes shone with intellect.
On its head, there was what resembled a triangle, or one head of a star, like a crown that's pointing towards the black sky.
With a wave of his hand, the other monsters quieted down.
Camilla wasn't strange to the concept of smart aliens so she wasn't so shocked.
The monster king then started to make weird sounds while staring at the girls. Camilla frowned and looked at the small girl besides her.
Noticing her stare, the girl said with a clear voice, "Analysing language.
"Language verified: Malaian. Translating.
"-You'll live." And that was the last thing the smart monster said, it only smiled after that.
"WHAT??!! He could've said we mean no harm, leave and you'll live. Or, whatever you do, there's no way you'll live! The f*CK am I supposed to know what it meant?!" Camilla yelled at the little girl.
Then she started at the monster, "CAN YOU REPEAT WHAT YOU B*STARD SAID?" she said as she gritted her teeth.
She felt so helpless even though she was an S ranker. Her orbs wouldn't do much damage to this monster, and her big spells would be suicidal, plus, she would need so much time to prepare an accurate attack that's not going to kill them.
To make matters worse, the little kid besides her was supposedly a D ranker, yet she exceeded her in every aspect.
"Hey lil girl, what's the p-"
Before she could finish her sentence, the gooey substance in front of the girl had already formed the desired product.
"Azar043 heavy energyhandgun of the Wingman series. Completed.
"Starting combat prep-" Camilla had already given up on her slack jaw, and on the muttering machine besides her.
What she saw was a heavy futuristic revolver. But instead of bullets, she could see glowing blue energy brewing a storm inside the cylinder magazine.
'RIP poor monsters' she thought as she wiped the imaginary tear off of her eye, even though she was still enraged and wary of that intelligent monster.
'And the countless other monsters, of course,' she thought, giving them a sad glance.
The girl took advantage of the close proximity between her barrier and the hordes of monsters, she retracted her barrier for a quick second before expanding it tenfold, releasing energy spikes that evaporated about one-third of the monsters in an instant.
Retracting the barrier again so that it only covered the three other girls, she jumped out with her gun blazing...
Each shot would need a quick charge up that would send blue energy crackling in the air, before exploding from the muzzle like a deadly shooting star.
After the gun had fully charged its energy bullet, the ground cracked under the girl's foot as she leaped out if the barrier.
Not a second after, the little girl's face was facing that of the monster king.
But instead of surprise or shock, the monster had a ruthless smile that would sink anyone's heart into a deep pit of despair. But, the girl wasn't anyone.
Holding her gun with both hands, she pressed the trigger.
BOooOM!!!
'Holy f*CK it's like Vegeta creating a handgun that can use his own Galic Gun!'
The monster's arm was quick to guard his face, yet that didn't prevent the crazy energy charge from almost cutting it off, and continuing past his penetrated face, leaving behind a bloody mess.
The impact of the recoil had sent the girl flying, only to land at her feet soon after. Sliding a couple of feet, the girl stopped to analyse the situation.
The monster was still standing. And although, half of its face was missing, the disgusting smile didn't waiver.
A mystic light surged out of its face as it started mending itself together.
'No way...' Camilla hated herself for the thought, but she was still thankful it wasn't her against that monster.
Staring at the girl, noise erupted from the monsters mouth before it disappeared from sight.
The girl instantly raised her guard up since she understood its words. "It tickles, but don't try it again. Anyhow, it's my turn now."
Reappearing in front of the girl before her guard was fully up, the monster punched her with all its might.
Only one arm received the strike as the other was still on the way. The impact smashed through her guard and hit her adorable tiny forehead.
Shocked to her core, Camilla drew a sharp breath as she watched the little girl fly by, crashing into multiple trees before hitting a huge tree bark.
At the moment of the impact, she could see the girls dark purple ireses turn gold before recovering back to their normal colour.
Blood was practically spraying from the girl's... everywhere.
Camilla was about to come running for her before she barely raised her hand, as it was hard for her to move, and mumbled "Negative" in a cracking weak voice.
The girl would have shook her head of she could've.
Camilla gritted her teeth, almost cracking them, as she looked at the broken angel in front of her. 'She probably wants me to leave with the girls, but how can I leave with so many monsters surrounding us?'
The monster crouched down, a few meters away from the girl.
With a hand supporting the chin and its never ceasing smile, it made some weird noises that the girl interpreted as "Laying on the floor already? We haven't gotten started yet..."
The girl struggled to get up, yet she still did.
Camilla didn't know how to feel about her ever emotionless expression. But she was happy she could still stand up.
"*Huff* *Huff* Energy reserves nearing critical point." Even though her face was emotionless, her body was still 'human' and she could still feel the pain.
"Are you alright?!" Camilla yelled, only to be ignored by everyone.
She just couldn't help it as she was shocked and almost terrified at the sound of the little girl's heavy breathing.
She had expected her to be a robot that doesn't get tired and never need any sleep, just like the Impression she gives.
"Recommended Cou- Negative. Disregard.
"Collecting world energy... Negative. Disregard. Body can't withstand recommended action." All the while, the monster was still staring at her with the same pose.
