A half-mask and a ninja outfit with a red base and black outer garment.
Her jet-black hair was tied into a ponytail behind her head, but the inner layers were faintly tinged with the same dark red as her outfit, like blood left too long and gone black.
Her eyes were a solid crimson, without even the whites visible.
Just being stared at by those eyes gave one the illusion that their end was near.
Her weapons were two enormous forward-curving arm blades fixed to her wrists. Their unfolded sections were over a meter long, and the blades glowed red. They were far too conspicuous for ninja weapons.
Moreover, their edges were not sharp.
The blades themselves were quite thick and heavy, more like blunt weapons than sharp ones. That last blow had not split my helmet, but it had felt as though I had been smashed by a pile driver...
Still, they were not entirely without bladed properties. Spider Man's remarkably tough webbing had been severed, and Ninja Witch turned into a mist of blood and vanished into the air. Her presence was completely cut off, and even the sensation of being watched by her disappeared.
Immediately afterward.
Another woman's scream and sounds of fighting came from inside Xiyintang.
"Aah—!!"
That Snake Woman...
"Damn it."
Gritting my teeth, I climbed to my feet and tore two steel bars from the roadside guardrail, using the exoskeleton's strength to twist them into spirals.
That made them sturdier, so they would not shatter from a single blow of those arm blades.
Azura and Chris were being held up by those Fake Magical Girls. If we wanted to save these Special Monsters, I was the only one who could do it...
I cautiously entered Xiyintang again, but this time, I was not attacked.
