Chapter 68
In the slow, sweeping panorama, Luo Mio's eyes, which were gradually turning back to their azure blue, brightened for a moment.
He saw it...
Shinguji and Saikyo Neine, their faces filled with worry and anger, were charging towards him with all their might.
"Aunt Kuro... old woman..."
Scenes of memories flashed through his mind like a revolving lantern...
"Ikki, have you heard of the World Alliance Competition? How about we have a match there sometime?"
A promise between boys.
Welcome home.
The older sister hugged her younger brother as he returned home.
"Go to sleep."
She, his guardian, stood on the balcony and spoke gently to him.
"Brother Miohua!"
A little girl who had just learned to speak followed him happily. Not far away, the little girl's mother, a good friend of her guardian, watched them with warm eyes.
"Mio! I taught you! When facing an enemy..."
Within the Consciousness Space, a figure in crimson and pure white sternly instructed him.
"Yes! I'm very happy!"
The purple-haired girl looked at her own bright and dazzling smile.
Luo Mio bit her lip until it bled.
"Shut the hell up!"
Luo Mio cursed at the Honkai Energy within her body.
The next moment, time returned to normal.
"Ugh—!"
Luo Mio was thrown to the ground again.
Blood clung to her lips as Luo Mio propped herself up with trembling hands.
"This world may be beyond saving..."
In the endless, pitch-black space, the ugliness of the world was revealed.
One's destiny is determined by the strength or weakness of one's abilities.
These seemingly fair yet unfair days continue every day...
The weak look on with envy at the strong, and hate their own weakness...
The strong look to the even stronger, feeling envious, wondering why others have better fates than themselves!
Such a world might as well be destroyed...
The light began to slowly illuminate...
But...
Even in a world like this, there are people for whom I would be willing to become an ordinary person and share happiness!
As Luo Mio prepared to sit up, Abraham stood in front of him...
He said it coldly and ruthlessly.
"Toudo Touka, according to the judgment of 'justice,' you will become a threat to the 'world'!"
Abraham raised his arm, transforming his palm into a hand chop.
His Pyrokinesis, transforming the hand chop into Blade of Righteous Judgment.
"Now...
... I will eliminate you!
The words had barely left his mouth when the hand chopped down!
The intense flames engulfed Luo Mio's figure.
Chapter Sixty-Nine: A Second Visit?!
The raging flames completely incinerated Luo Mio's figure.
Located in Far East far east, in a secret base of a world superpower.
A figure holding a glass of red wine watched the scene on the screen where Luo Mio was engulfed in flames.
"The death of a genius always happens so unexpectedly."
But what the figure didn't notice was the sudden flash of static on the screen...
"Little Mio!!!"
A mournful and angry cry rang out.
Abraham looked over and saw Saikyo Neine holding the "Crimson Phoenix," her face contorted with rage, emanating a faint black aura, and two Demon Horns faintly appearing on her head.
It was as if they had lost their minds.
"You bastard!"
The "Crimson Phoenix" in Saikyo Neine's hands emitted pure mass power, which then transformed into dark magic power capable of devouring light!
The jet-black magical light shaped into a maple leaf-shaped gravity blade, which wrapped around the "Crimson Phoenix".
"Black Blade: Yatagarasu!"
A jet-black aurora-shaped longsword, over three meters long, swung towards Abraham.
Seeing the incoming attack, Abraham activated his precognitive abilities, predicted Saikyo Neine's attack, and dodged it with Teleport.
Abraham raised his right hand.
"Telekinetic Electricity Control"
Countless high-voltage currents were released and struck Saikyo Neine.
With a flick of her wrist, Saikyo Neine extinguished the incoming high-voltage current with the "Crimson Phoenix" beneath the Yata no Crow.
Right behind Saikyo Neine...
"Propater, the Propater; Ennoia, the Ennoia"
Shinguji Kuroko, wielding a black and white double gun, stood behind her, the gun barrels pointed directly at Abraham.
Just as Abraham used his "foresight" to predict the next few seconds...
Just as Askarid "Black Knight," and Fukushou Ri, the "Glutton," who had already given up on watching the show, were about to leave.
A scorching flame hurtled toward Abraham.
Abraham instinctively tried to Teleport to dodge...
"!"
He suddenly discovered that his body, and even his magic, seemed to be suppressed, and his entire body was being burned by the incoming flames.
In a hurry, Abraham used his telekinesis to protect his body and used magic to heal the burns from the flames.
"...!"
"... How could this be?!"
Abraham, who had already protected his body, suddenly discovered that no matter what his psychic barrier was, the bright flames were burning his barrier like an immortal phoenix, and even the wounds that were being repaired by magic were being scorched by an unbearable speed.
"Clatter...!"
Even though Abraham had already extinguished Luo Mio's flames with his flaming hand chop...
A sound of footsteps was heard...
On the other side, Sora, who was about to reach the park, sensed something, raised his head in alarm, and looked in the direction of the park.
This aura...
Kong bit her lip and ran towards the park.
Could it be...?
On the street, Touka forcibly strengthened his body with "Gale Thunder" in order to reach the park quickly.
His eyes glanced slightly at the screen on the street.
A snowflake with a cacophony of noise...
Since just now, the park seems to have been shielded by something.
The drones in the park also lost signal.
The last image transmitted by the drone.
Luo Mio was lifted high by the terrorist leader, who then brought down a flaming hand chop, engulfing her in flames.
Little Mio...!
"Clatter..."
The crisp sound of footsteps came from the flames.
"!" ×3
Abraham's eyes were fixed on the flames...
Saikyo Neine and Shinguji Kuroko looked over with surprise and delight.
"Clatter..."
Footsteps sounded again.
A leg shadow stepped out of the flames first...
"Clatter..."
The leg that stepped out of the flames landed crisply on the ground.
Then, a figure connected to the legs and upper body slowly emerged from the flames.
"Clatter..."
The figure passed through the flames and appeared in front of the three.
Lo, who had just been struck by Abraham's hand blade transformed into a flaming blade, reappeared in the three's sight.
Seeing Luo Mio unharmed, Saikyo Neine exclaimed happily, "Little Mio...!...!???"
Just as she relaxed her worries and happily greeted Luo Mio, her pupils slowly contracted...
She froze... staring blankly at Luo Mio...
Behind her, Shinguji Kuroko stared at Luo Mio in astonishment...
There was no terrifying torrent of magic...
There were no starlight particles, like Star Mist Shadow, surrounding me...
Even the Eternal Twilight Wolves, burning with silvery-blue flames, did not appear...
Very ordinary, mundane, like a leisurely stroll...
But this scene left Saikyo Neine and Shinguji Kuroko stunned and speechless...
On two tall buildings in the distance, "Black Knight" Askarid and "Glutton" Fukushou Ri, though far apart, were instantly on edge due to their instinctive alertness, and the chill made them swallow saliva that shouldn't have been there.
