"Clang!!!"
A crisp clash rang out like a gale, reverberating with the deafening force of a sonic boom!
Yet the source of that sonic boom had already been enveloped by a blast of wind!
"Urgh..." On the ground, apart from Wu Yan, Purple, Mikoto, Kotori, Tohka, and the others above the ninth tier, every girl who had yet to reach the ninth tier covered her ears uneasily, seemingly shaken badly by the deafening impact.
If even those on the ground were affected like this, one could imagine just how intense the collision between Ikaros and Astrea was...
"Bang!"
Before the girls below the ninth tier could recover, another dull impact sounded in midair. This time, however, the sound was much deeper, drawing everyone's attention.
Then, the sight of Ikaros' Aegis II being shattered by the Single-Winged Lightsaber entered their view...
"Tch..."
Seeing Aegis II break, Astrea showed no joy at all. The Single-Winged Lightsaber in her hand did not pause in the slightest as it pierced heavily through the fragments of Aegis II, whistling through the air like a thunderbolt as it stabbed toward Ikaros' brow!
This was Astrea!
If she did not fight, that was one thing. But once she fought, she was more serious than anyone!
And this was also a sign of Astrea's trust in Ikaros!
She believed that an attack of this level could never do anything to Ikaros!
And indeed, that was the case...
Facing Astrea's full-power, merciless attack, Ikaros' expression did not fluctuate in the slightest. Her body remained completely still, while streams of data-like light flashed continuously through her eyes.
She was analyzing with all her strength the best possible way to deal with the situation before
