----------------------------------------

Ra turned his face to Nero, her eyes squinting.

- An account to settle...? she asked.

Unsure of what he meant, she wished to learn more, but a heavy footstep from Moloch caught her attention. The Kitana family turned to the enemy, who shook her head and sighed.

- I don't agree... I don't care about your little rebellion, but I don't accept that you are saving my prey. It is mine.

The last word came out of her mouth with a hatred that made everyone shiver. Ra held her claymore tightly and it turned red, while Nero cracked his neck and smiled, but he was also sweating. Despite the confidence on some of their faces, in reality none of them expected to defeat Moloch, rather the opposite. In front of them all was an enemy of humanity, one that could even be considered more dangerous than the Longers. A "human" who was the reason for the death of the founders of the Kemono Federation, a "human" who had been living in Arcave for decades, even centuries. A real anomaly that no one could defeat. An adversary who would not let anyone escape her. A real threat. Moloch took another step and each of them tensed up. The rocks with Nero's silhouette began to move slowly. The flames on Nara's sword took on a greater magnitude. The look on Nora's cute face took on a different emotion. Sara's ice sword was clenched with a determined hand. Even Amir, who couldn't fight, took an offensive stance. Ra, on the other hand, gritted her teeth as she stared furiously at Moloch. Once again, she was getting in her way. As always, she couldn't just live quietly, hoping she wouldn't run into this crazy woman. She couldn't defeat her: Ra knew that very well. Better than anyone. She could do whatever she wanted against Moloch, she would not win. Not only was she immortal in age, she was immortal in general. Killing her didn't really kill her. Hurting her did not. Even with the help of the Kitana family, this fight would be the same as if Ra were on her own. Only Ra could hope to defeat her and Moloch knew it: that's why their relationship was like that. If only Moloch agreed to leave Ra alone... If only they had never met...! That white-haired woman...!

- Give me Ra. Last warning.

Moloch held out her hand and Nora backed up against her father in fear. Seeing the frightened look on her face, Amir started to run towards their house holding his daughter in his arms. Moloch didn't even notice: all she wanted to have was Ra, so she wasn't interested in this Kemono's business with her daughter. Moloch squinted his eyes and Nora took a step forward.

- Never! Never!" she shouted.

- Huh.

Moloch sighed before snapping her fingers.

- Then I'll go get it myself.

The ground began to shake and the Kitana family, including Ra, prepared to fight. Ra shouted at them to run away, as this fight could not be won, but they all refused. Ra sighed and held her sword tightly. Even if she was wounded, she had to do her best against this crazy woman. Now that she was a bit pissed off, it was clear that Moloch was going to put a little more effort into it, so they got into a fighting stance. A figure came at them and Ra shouted as she attacked, thinking it was going to be Moloch.

But a muscular man struck her claymore.

- W-What?!

The force used was such that the claymore was sent into the air. Thanks to Nero's reflex, he managed to catch it with his Power and threw it towards Ra…

But a woman, other than Moloch, caught him first.

- W-What?!

Ra shielded herself with her arms, but the man's power was too great: she was propelled into the air. Nara charged at the man with her flaming sword in both hands. She stopped dead in her tracks and avoided his fist before attacking him, but her mother caught her and forced her backwards... before Ra's claymore furiously pierced the ground in front of Nara. She rolled over, but was suddenly pulled towards the man. He wanted to grab Ra's claymore and slice the Kemono's body with it, but it was too heavy for him, so he decided to hit her with his fist. However, he was crushed violently by a rock and Nara was thrown further away in the shock wave. Sara grabbed her daughter and Nero raised her fist before crushing her again where the muscular man was, but his stone structure, which was also his Power, was decimated in one fell swoop.

- W-What?!

All the stones flew away and crashed against the ground, as if pushed by... something. The woman who had grabbed Ra's claymore before sending it to the ground landed directly on top of Nero, a sword in her hand, but she narrowly missed her target's head. Nero rolled onto his back and stood up with the help of his hands, his legs in the air. He slammed his hands together and a new structure formed behind him, taking his almost exact shape. The muscular man cracked his neck as he touched his shoulder before rising to his feet. The woman stood next to him and the two looked at the Kemonos in front of them. Moloch jumped between the two arrivals and flew over them.

- Let me introduce you to Brezilio, who is this charming man, and Bayonna, who is this sexy woman!” she presented.

Moloch hummed in the air, flying as if gravity no longer existed and smiled.

- I have no reason to hate you, even though you didn't offer me Ra, so I'll leave you to deal with them. I see Ra over there, so I'm going to look for her to torture her~! Hihi!

Moloch chuckled as she put both hands in front of her before an ice sword pierced her eye. She sighed and passed her hand over her face before the wound disappeared as if it had never existed. Sara recreated a new blade with the water in her body and gritted her teeth: as expected, Moloch could not be hurt. The woman with the long white hair shook her head.

- I don't intend to waste any energy on you. Brezilio and Bayonna are enemies that you will not defeat, so I think I can kill you by being two kilometers away from you. Anyway, bye b—

And then Ra's claymore sliced her head off. The claymore flew through the air and spun around before landing in the hands of an enraged-looking woman, who screamed and rolled in front of the Kitana family and held her claymore tightly. Moloch's head returned to its place and the woman sighed heavily before landing on Brezilio's head calmly.

- You recovered a little too quickly from your injuries…” Moloch sighed.

- Shut up, eat shit.

- What a vulgar woman.

- I am a real woman, that's why.

Moloch's blade turned even redder and gigantic fire came out of it. She stood up and waved her white hair while staring at the two new opponents in front of them. A muscular man with short hair and little clothes and a woman with long green and black hair, dark skin and just like the man, little clothes. Their aura is impressive and even if Ra is convinced that she can stand up to them without defeating them, she must keep her attention on Moloch: the slightest mistake on his part means his death. Ra can't join the Kitana family's fight.

A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.

- Do you understand, here?” lets go of Ra. Run away.

She barely finished her sentence when Nara passed by her side, her flaming sword in her hands, and attacked the woman with the long green hair. Nero's giant, rocky fist grazed Nara and even their mother ran towards the opponents. Ra sighed and ran back: she didn't know Brezilio, nor Bayonna, so she couldn't give any information about them to help the Kemonos. In short, she concentrated totally on Moloch without trying to fight.

But Moloch charged at Ra with the intention of ending it all once and for all

Ra protected herself with her claymore and the red flames began to envelop their enemy, but Moloch didn't care: killing Ra was all that mattered to her. Killing Ra was all that mattered to her. To be done with that pest was all she wanted! Moloch and Ra rolled on the ground, but Ra stuck her claymore in the ground and braked. The flames of her claymore took the shape of a dragon's head and crunched Moloch, but it was a failed attempt. Moloch appeared behind Ra and in his hand created a sword of spinal bones, sticking together with inexplicable force. Moloch attacked Ra from behind, but in less than half a second, Ra protected himself with his blade. The meeting of the two weapons exploded the bone sword and the broken pieces flew in all directions before sticking together and creating an arc. Moloch grabbed it and one of her hairs became the thread. She bandaged it without even an arrow and Ra charged at Moloch, several dragon heads made of flaming red fire ready to crush their opponent. Moloch dropped the bowstring, still no arrow on it, and Ra slashed ahead. However, a millimeter away from slicing Moloch's head, everything in front of it froze in an instant, even the fire dragon heads... which turned to ice. Ra herself was under a huge layer of frost: what Moloch shot was not an arrow... but cold. Moloch tore off her own arm and muttered something before the blood from it flowed to the ground, but stopped in an invisible mold and formed a glowing red sword. Moloch looked behind her, where the Kemonos were still fighting her two "helpers", and threw her arm at full speed in that direction. Ra forced her muscles and the ice broke, but she didn't know if she had time to protect herself from Moloch: will she die here? She refuses. She refuses! She must find her brother first!!! Moloch's arm narrowly missed Nara who turned around and sent her sword on fire towards Moloch.

- She managed to avoid it?!" was astonished Moloch.

The woman avoided the fire blade, but it penetrated the ice without hitting Ra's frozen body. Moloch grabbed her sword of blood and sliced in front of her before Ra could free herself, but the fire on Ra's sword spread at a tremendous speed and allowed Ra to protect herself from Moloch's blade. The night behind seemed to break and a heavenly explosion sounded. Ra slashed ahead of her, screaming, but Moloch blocked the attack with his arm... but one of the fire dragons crushed Moloch. Another crunched on its companion, and all did the same: the dragon heads all ate each other, trying to swallow Moloch in their midst. However, this did not happen.

- Ah!

Ra was drawn to something and even flew away, as if gravity had just changed. She couldn't stay put, but she kept her claymore in her hands. The Kitana family was drawn towards the man at full speed, but Nero, who could not move from his position because of his still active Power, caught his sister and mother with his Power. Even Brezilio's ally was drawn to him. The dragon heads all froze and shattered as Moloch slammed his fist into her face and grabbed Ra's face. She opened her eyes wide, continuing to be drawn to the man as if he were the center of gravity. Chunks of earth tore off the ground and swirled around him, while Bayonna stood as best she could with a sword stuck in the ground. Moloch laughed and tried to crush Ra's head in his hand, but the woman screamed. Of pain and determination. Her claymore took on a golden glow and Moloch squinted.

- Brezilio, stop!

The man blinked and ended his Power with a bang, but Ra smiled and when Moloch tried to escape, she grabbed her arm and clicked her tongue.

- Boom.

And at that moment—

A violent explosion resounds from the claymore of Ra.

Although she wanted to reach the man to inflict the damage, Moloch realized beforehand what was happening. She was propelled further, but Bayonna caught her to prevent her from going too far. Ra's claymore flew into the air, but Ra herself caught it in midair and screamed, her clothes burned and her hair on fire, before slicing into it. Moloch gritted her teeth and Brezilio jumped in front of her before everything in front of Ra exploded. The explosion was so violent that the Kitana family, who were a few hundred yards away, were thrown backwards, even Nero, who had stopped using her power. Ra grabbed Nara and ran, as best she could, toward the Kitana house. Sara grabbed her son and joined her before Moloch leaped into the air and ran toward them.

Ra screamed and threw Nara who rolled down the porch and hit the door. Moloch ran at Ra who was prepared to continue this fight alone: she was the only one who mattered to Moloch. The Kitana, who had been generous enough to feed, house and pamper her, must not be allowed to die because of her. If she were to be beaten and lose her life, she would be the only one. Ra did not want to see anyone die beside her. !! Moloch was about to reach Ra, hundreds of snakes coming from nowhere and charging at her. Ra's claymore lit up with a new golden color, but she couldn't use it after that. She was going to blow it up when Moloch hit her when—

- Freeze.

Ra opened her eyes wide and saw a magnificent and incredible sight before her. Moloch was just a few centimeters away from her.

— but she was completely frozen. Her snakes too…

As well as the celestial vault.

- Ra, come on!

Her wrist was grabbed and she was forced back a few steps before all the ice shattered at once. Ra went to protect herself with her claymore, but Moloch was violently pushed back, as well as all the snakes, which all disintegrated simultaneously. Ra blinked and continued to be pulled towards the house. The woman let her claymore fall to the ground and dragged it away, her heart finally able to calm down.

- Come on!

Ra turned her face to the Kemono who had just saved her. Nara helped her little sister to pull Ra who opened her eyes wide.

- N-Nora?!

The little Kemono smiled.

It was she who had just saved her... by freezing reality in front of her.
