"Thoughts? Hmm... If I had to put it that way, it's because the stench of blood is too strong. Can't you find another way to kill someone?"
"You're such a weirdo."
"There's no benefit to praising me like that."
"I wasn't praising you!"
"Look, we're having a pleasant chat right now, so let's talk about cooperation."
"it's out of the question!"
Speak the sentence word by word, Kurumi Tokisaki stuck out her tongue at Teru Kanzaki.
Then he disappeared into the shadows, and Kanzaki Teru did not do anything to stop him.
I just watched quietly as Kurumi Tokisaki left.
"What a weirdo."
During this time, although Kanzaki Teru witnessed the entire process of Tokisaki Kurumi committing the murder...
But they never stopped it, they just stood by and watched.
At first, Kurumi Tokisaki was a little unaccustomed to it, but now that feeling of unease has turned into confusion.
Although her chosen targets were all specific, they were all social scum.
Even if they die, no one will feel sorry for them—no, if you have to say, their family members might be sad.
However, their contributions to society were absolutely negative, so Kurumi Tokisaki acted without any hesitation.
Although she could only gain time by "stealing" it, she at least didn't want to kill innocent people indiscriminately.
After all, she wasn't an executioner or a pleasure criminal; it would be too dangerous for her to just kill people whenever she wanted.
Not only for the world, but also for herself.
No one is born a killer, but one can become numb to it.
After each murder, Kurumi Tokisaki would ask herself whether she should have killed those people.
After all, if one becomes numb to this matter, she said that on May 5.1st, one might even abandon one's last line of defense.
To become the truly [most evil elf], although that title sounds pretty cool.
However, Kurumi Tokisaki had no such interest, which is why she always maintained this bottom line.
Only kill the bad guys, not the good guys.
Of course, if the other party provokes you, then there's nothing you can do.
After all, it was self-defense, and she couldn't let that belief kill her.
However, so far she has not encountered anything that could threaten her life, except for this unpredictable guy.
Chapter 262: Chong Gong Mana
A smile appeared on her lips, and an emotion she had never felt before arose in Tokisaki Kurumi's heart.
It felt warm, yet also slightly itchy.
For some reason, she now finds herself wanting to see Kanzaki Teru again.
However, just as Tokisaki Kurumi was thinking about such things, she suddenly felt an energy appear around her.
More than a dozen AST team members appeared beside her without any warning; these people had been hiding in the surrounding buildings from the beginning.
They even launched the EB position, which stands for Eliminate Breath.
At the beginning, the AST only had some rudimentary equipment, and the magicians operated in teams.
However, overall, it was merely a team that could not be considered a team in actual combat.
Even against a spirit like Yoshino Himegawa, the "Hidden One," she couldn't defeat her. 23
However, after so many years of development, AST is no longer as naive as it was at the beginning.
Magicians originally relied heavily on their talent, but now, with the added benefit of the special armor created by AST, they are even more resilient.
Even if a person is very weak, they can still have extraordinary strength if they share their abilities.
The magicians of AST today are completely different from what they used to be, especially when fighting in groups.
They now possess the ability to fight even if they encounter a Pokémon with a "Reversal" form, but these Pokémon have all disappeared and are living in the city.
Although some problems may arise from time to time, most of the time things are very stable.
Besides the two existing entities, one of them is Tokisaki Kurumi, who is currently being besieged by AST.
The other one is the initial spirit that Kanzaki Teru has been searching for—Takamiya Mio.
After all, Kurumi Tokisaki would occasionally replenish the time, although the reason for this was unclear.
However, AST certainly cannot overlook such behavior, even if it does not trigger a spacequake.
It would be against all reason to let someone like Tokisaki Kurumi exist, so AST issued a 3S-level wanted notice for her.
They even joined other organizations in trying to capture her, but to this day, Kurumi Tokisaki has cleverly escaped.
However, this situation will end today.
"Wow, this is quite a grand affair."
Looking at the magicians who had surrounded her, Kurumi Tokisaki kept scanning her surroundings.
At a glance, it appears that at least a dozen magicians have surrounded her, and many more are lying in wait below.
"Nightmare, this is where you will die today."
The armor worn by the lead magician was clearly different from that of the other team members, but to be precise, each of them wore something different.
Thanks to the strong support of DEM, the equipment provided to each member of AST is no longer the same model.
Instead, it is tailored to suit that person's magic power, fighting style, and other considerations.
Therefore, even a relatively weak magician can produce unexpected results.
"Oh ho ho ho ho, do you really think you can catch me, Takamiya Mana?"
"Of course, let's put an end to our battle right here today,"
Raising her hands, with a muffled "hum," two lightsabers appeared in the hands of the person whom Tokisaki Kurumi called Takamiya Mana.
To be honest, although Takamiya Mana is the team leader this time, her figure is really too petite.
She makes it impossible for anyone to consider her a formidable opponent, although she herself is very concerned about this.
However, others actually envy Mana Takamiya's figure, especially since it's a figure that can withstand gunfire on the battlefield.
She wouldn't attract attention either, but that's the complete opposite of her size.
Even with her unremarkable 787 physique, Mana Takamiya's personality and appearance are outstanding enough.
Especially the beauty mark at the corner of her left eye added a touch of allure to her otherwise somewhat youthful face.
Moreover, coupled with her unusual magical power, her presence was enough to draw attention even from hundreds of meters away.
Kurumi Tokisaki has fought her countless times, but has never had a direct confrontation with her.
Even though they had never properly fought, Tokisaki Kurumi knew how powerful she was.
It was precisely because she knew of her strength that Kurumi Tokisaki was unwilling to fight her.
After all, if a fight really broke out, although she was confident of winning in the end.
However, the time consumed was absolutely immeasurable, even though Takamiya Mana killed many of her clones.
However, it was completely insignificant to her overall, so Kurumi Tokisaki didn't bother with her.
But this time seems a little different.
Chapter 263: Unexpected
"I have no intention of chatting with little guys who like dolls. You should go back to your old lair."
"Nightmare, this is the only time you can be arrogant."
Without wasting any more words with her, Mana Takamiya's mecha thrusters sprayed flames, propelling her body rapidly toward Kurumi Tokisaki.
At the same time, all the guns on the mech spewed flames, and countless bullets were fired directly at Kurumi Tokisaki.
"This thing is useless to me. They never learn their lesson."
As she spoke, Tokisaki Kurumi activated the spirit power within her body, flying into the air to dodge the opponent's attacks.
However, I feel like I've heard this phrase from other people recently.
However, in the brief moment she was stunned, Takamiya Mana did not hesitate at all and swung her lightsaber towards Tokisaki Kurumi's neck.
Kurumi Tokisaki easily dodged the attack by leaning back slightly and then pointed the two guns in her hands at Mana Takamiya.
But before she could even fire, Takamiya Mana used the momentum from swinging her lightsaber to perform a 180-degree flip in mid-air.
Then, a light, just like the lightsaber in her hand, suddenly appeared on her feet, and she kicked Tokisaki Kurumi's arms directly.
Without even a chance to scream, Kurumi Tokisaki's arms were severed.
But there was no fear on her face, not even a trace of pain.
It was as if such feelings had never appeared in her life.
At that very moment, countless bullets struck Kurumi Tokisaki's body.
She was completely "killed," but after killing Tokisaki Kurumi...
Mana Takamiya did not stop there, but once again used the mecha behind her to propel her body in one direction.
And then it fired ammunition at the empty ground, with a loud bang.
The entire area was razed to the ground, and in the center of the explosion, a young girl stood.
She stared coldly at Takamiya Mana; the person standing there was none other than Tokisaki Kurumi.
"It seems you have made some progress."
"After all, we've been at odds for so long, it's time to settle things once and for all."
"Isn't killing me once enough? You can take my body back and preserve it if you want."
