Flash Away, I Can't Control My Primordial Power Anymore

A sharp flash of blade cut through the air, and Mei Raiden cleanly pierced a zombie girl's heart. The zombie girl collapsed powerlessly, and soon after, her body dissipated under the sunlight, leaving nothing behind as if she had never existed.

Mei's eyes held a hint of sadness as she looked at these zombie girls. These people had all turned into zombies because of the "her" inside her body. Although Kiana had comforted her in the morning, the feeling of guilt still lingered.

"Mei, you're amazing! You even know such powerful sword techniques!" Kiana grabbed Mei Raiden's right hand, swinging it back and forth. She then glanced at Yu Luo, who was following behind them as if on a leisurely stroll, and said meaningfully, "Someone hiding behind girls should really learn a thing or two."

"Actually, I've almost forgotten the family's [Hokushin Itto-ryu]. It's not as amazing as you say, Kiana," Mei Raiden said modestly. Compared to the arrogant Kiana, her ladylike demeanor was evident.

"Have you ever seen an ace used against minor henchmen?" Yu Luo was not ashamed of hiding behind two girls but rather proud of it. He argued righteously, "The protagonist naturally has to make his entrance last."

"You're no protagonist, you're a wise cleaner doing splits in the air," the System argued with Yu Luo in his mind.

"I'm an Opening-rank Master, the man who can take down Human King Goetia with his bare hands. Watch your tone when you speak to me!" Yu Luo refused to back down, bringing up his credentials.

"Do you believe I'll open the Chaldea Gate right now and send you to the Temple of Time to have a good chat with Goetia?" the System sneered in Yu Luo's ear.

"Uh, forget it, forget it. Goetia's too pathetic, let's let him off the hook," Yu Luo immediately backed down. The Chaldea Gate's functions hadn't been activated yet, so he didn't know if the System was telling the truth. If it was real, he'd be finished.

Along the way, Kiana and Mei Raiden were sweet to each other, while Yu Luo and the System bickered, smoothly heading towards the light rail station in Changkong City. The zombies in the city were indeed less dense than those in Senba Academy, mostly appearing in small groups of two or three. Under the cleanup by the two abnormally strong girls, Kiana and Mei Raiden, they were unable to pose any obstruction.

"See? I told you the boat would reach the bridge naturally!"

They smoothly arrived at the entrance of the light rail station. Kiana, with a smug look, pointed at the empty hall and mocked Yu Luo, "I wonder who was worried the light rail station would be full of zombies? So timid."

"That's called caution. A single-minded creature like you could never understand!" Yu Luo was not intimidated by Kiana's challenge and retorted directly.

"Okay, okay," Mei Raiden, seeing the two about to start bickering again, quickly interrupted their argument. "It's best that there's no danger. Let's proceed with our plan quickly."

"But where's the waiting hall?" Kiana stood inside the hall, looking confusedly at the station map displayed, completely lost.

"As expected..." Thinking of Kiana's poor sense of direction, Yu Luo was about to mock her when Mei Raiden quickly interrupted again, covering her forehead with a hint of helplessness. "This way, I'll lead."

Along the way, Kiana would mock Yu Luo at every opportunity, and Yu Luo, without any gentlemanly demeanor, would retort in the same way. Mei Raiden was dizzy from their constant arguing, feeling like an old mother taking care of two children.

The waiting hall was below the main hall and required passing through a security gate. However, the security personnel who should have been there had now become zombies, wandering near the gate. As if sensing the trio's scent, they opened their mouths wide and charged towards them with roars.

"Bang bang!" Kiana precisely shot down two zombie girls with her twin guns. Mei Raiden also cleanly dispatched another zombie girl with a swift stroke of her blade. The three zombie girls fell to the ground and slowly dissipated, leaving no trace behind.

"Let's go!" Yu Luo took the lead, vaulting over the security gate with a handspring. Kiana and Mei Raiden agilely followed behind him. The three descended to the first floor via the stopped escalator.

"Wow, Kiana, you jinx!" Yu Luo suddenly cried out, holding a silver Noble Phantasm Card between his index and middle fingers, and a silver Heroic Spirit Card in his right hand. After a moment's thought, Yu Luo put back the silver Noble Phantasm Card in his left hand. The same Noble Phantasm Card could only take effect once a day, and it would be a waste to use it here.

"Isn't that your fault for being a jinx?" Kiana shouted back in panic, seeing the situation in the first-floor waiting hall.

"You two... are hopeless!" Mei Raiden sighed, covering her forehead with her left hand. With her right hand, she raised the Soshu Muramasa she held, adopting the starting stance of Hokushin Itto-ryu, ready for battle.

In the first-floor waiting hall, dense crowds of zombie girls were packed together. The sheer number was beyond anything seen even in Senba Academy, with at least a thousand of them. No wonder no one was seen in the second-floor hall; they were all crammed onto the first floor.

Due to Yu Luo and Kiana's shouting, the zombie girls all raised their heads. Upon seeing the trio, they let out howls and madly surged towards the narrow escalator, forming wave after wave of zombie tide. Many zombie girls were pushed over and fell powerlessly under their own kind.

"Just like a train station during the Spring Festival in some major country," Yu Luo couldn't help but comment at this critical juncture. Kiana punched his shoulder, "Stop the nonsense. You've been conserving energy for so long, it's time for you to play, Mr. Ace!"

"Aren't I ready?" Yu Luo raised the silver Heroic Spirit Card in his hand and said solemnly to the two girls behind him, "I'll clear the path. Kiana, stay close behind me. Mei, cover the rear. Don't fall behind, understand!"

The two girls nodded. Yu Luo watched as the zombie girls surged onto the escalator. He raised his right hand in the air and drew a circle in front of him. "Henshin! (Transformation)" A blinding silver light flashed and disappeared. Yu Luo was clad in a stylish black cowboy outfit, wearing a black cowboy hat. He subtly moved his right hand, and two loud gunshots rang out. The bodies of the two charging zombie girls were half blown apart, and they stumbled a few steps before collapsing powerlessly.

Transformed into Billy the Kid, Yu Luo flipped and jumped off the escalator. While still in mid-air, he activated his A-rank Quick Draw skill. Kiana and Mei Raiden could only see him fire once, but a continuous barrage of gunshots echoed throughout the waiting hall.

"Bang bang bang bang bang..." A string of gunshots sounded like firecrackers. The sea of zombie girls at Yu Luo's feet fell one after another like harvested wheat. By the time Yu Luo landed, a roughly three-meter radius of clear space had appeared at his landing spot.

"Come down quickly!" Yu Luo shouted to the two still on the escalator. Kiana and Mei Raiden exchanged glances and leaped down from a height of about two meters. The three stood back-to-back, forming a triangle, confronting the surrounding zombie girls.

In this short period, Yu Luo had fired over a dozen shots. Fortunately, the bullets were made of transformation energy, so there was no need to reload. Otherwise, with the six-round capacity of the revolver in his hand, just reloading would have been troublesome.

However, there was a significant drawback: the transformation energy was consumed extremely quickly. Less than a minute had passed since his transformation, but his energy had already decreased by 10% under this high-intensity firing. This was even with Billy the Kid possessing Independent Action A, which greatly reduced consumption.

"Charge!" The distance to the boarding security gate was less than thirty meters, but the number of zombie girls in this short span was somewhat despairing. The clear area Yu Luo had created with Quick Draw A+ was rapidly being filled by the surging zombie tide.
