She wanted nothing more than to tear this guy to pieces right now!
Every second that brat lived in this world was like a second longer for her, and she felt Qingxian crying in her ear...
Such a kind-hearted Qingxian, such a lovely Qingxian, such a gentle Qingxian—
How could she bear to do that?!
With this in mind, Kamishiro Chiho made up her mind.
She wasn't going to delay any longer.
She deactivated her fourth-order Echo [Mind Domain Net].
Using [Mind Domain Net] requires her to continuously supply Heart Essence to maintain the circuit.
This, in turn, prevented her from using other Echo.
Since the [Mind Domain Net] is no longer of any use, there is no need to waste energy and Heart Essence on it.
As Qiji charged at her again with his sword drawn, Kamishiro Chiho instantly unleashed a third-tier Echo, [Mind Intimidation].
However, a flash of silver light appeared on Qiji's mask—
Qiji is unaffected!
Kamishiro Chiho frowned, slightly annoyed.
Her Echo failed yet again!
Of course, Kamishiro Chiho was mentally prepared this time, so there weren't too many surprises.
Because she had already tried it before, her Mind Echo and such had never worked on this guy.
This guy is so weird!!!
Fortunately, Kamishiro Chiho did not place her hopes on this.
Her real killer move is—
When Qiji suddenly appeared beside her and swung his sword at her head, Kamishiro Chiho neither dodged nor evaded!
Using her Armament, she managed to withstand Qiji's slash, which was imbued with [Flame Instant Bloom].
The Heart Essence Mantle removed most of its force.
At the same time, her hair suddenly started to stir and grow wildly!
It transformed into countless spider silk threads, tightly binding Qiji's sword.
Not only that, Kamishiro Chiho's three mouths, one closed and one open, once again sprayed out spider silk!
The two were now too close together, and Qiji couldn't dodge in time. In an instant, he was firmly bound by the smoky, corrosive spider silk.
The mirror armor Armament the Person in the Mirror sizzled and burned.
"Now you can't run away, can you?"
Qiji's speed has always been a major headache for Kamishiro Chiho.
Like an annoying flea, its attacks are like tickling, but you just can't catch it.
But thankfully, it's all finally over now.
Of course, Kamishiro Chiho's actions did come at a price.
Aside from the time she went berserk and could spray out freely, she couldn't actually use these spider silks freely under normal circumstances.
Only by activating [Armament Reconstruction] and using the brief burst of power at the moment of switching Armament forms to communicate with the Sea of Consciousness can it be used again.
Indeed, facing the combined attack of Qiji and Liuli, Kamishiro Chiho realized that the conventional second-stage Armament was no longer enough for a quick victory.
She let out a sharp screech!
For Qingxian's sake, she made this decision—
She wanted to completely transform her heavily armed "fortress" into a pure "weapon."
[Armament Reconstruction], Initiated!!!
In an instant, the Imagery Armor covering his entire body, along with the eight sharp spider spears, emitted a piercing scraping sound.
The armor did not shatter; instead, it writhed, decomposed, and reassembled like a living thing.
The plates on her breastplate, shoulder armor, and back armor peeled off layer by layer, turning into flowing liquid spider silk that frantically gathered along Kamishiro Chiho's arms and spine!
The eight spider spears that supported her high-speed movement and multi-angle attacks no longer existed as independent limbs.
They twisted, merged, and stretched, eventually combining with all the materials stripped from her armor to coalesce on the outside of her right arm into a gigantic weapon of grotesque shape and illogical size—
It was a giant scythe, entirely dark purple.
The sickle blade is broad and curved, with its inner side covered with fine barbs, resembling the chelicerae of a spider.
Several sharp bone spurs extended from the end of the sickle's handle, gripping her arm as if they were grown from her flesh.
To support the formation of this giant scythe, Kamishiro Chiho transformed almost all the materials of her Imagery Armor into the weapon.
She only retained a layer of her Heart Essence Mantle, which clung tightly to her body.
This also means that she has abandoned her almost invincible defense!
All for the sake of killing Qiji as quickly as possible!
All of this was for Qingxian.
Upon seeing this, Qiji's eyes lit up!
He never expected that, just moments before he was struggling with how to break through Kamishiro Chiho's unreasonable defense, she would actually give up her greatest advantage.
Holy crap!
I've run into an idiot!
Is this even a human possible?!
Of course, Qiji held the trump card of [Blurring of Illusion and Reality], so he naturally thought that Kamishiro Chiho's move was incredibly stupid.
However, due to the information gap, Kamishiro Chiho did not think so.
Spider silk had tightly bound Qiji.
There's only one thing she needs to do next—
That means unleashing maximum damage, delivering the decisive blow, and securing a complete victory!
To comfort Qingxian's spirit in heaven.
Kamishiro Chiho's usual attack methods are not something that can be broken through in a short time when she is using the [Person in the Mirror] after taking out a loan from Qiji.
However, after activating [Armament Reconstruction] and obtaining [Scythe of True Love], Kamishiro Chiho's attack power is now on a completely different level.
This giant scythe is a pure weapon of slaughter!
Not only does it inherit the sharpness of the spider spear, but its enormous mass and unique structure also give it terrifying destructive power with every swing.
Kamishiro Chiho didn't believe it.
That masked brat, with his mere first-stage Armament, how could he possibly withstand her inevitable attack?!
Are you kidding me!
Where the scythe blade sliced through, the air emitted a sharp, mournful cry!
The next moment, the Grim Reaper's Qiji swung down towards Saki, who was tightly bound by spider silk and unable to move!
Faced with this situation—
A slight smile involuntarily crept onto the corner of Qiji's mouth beneath the mask.
I remember not long ago, when he confronted Suyo, that guy did the exact same stupid thing as Kamishiro Chiho!
Completely abandon defense and Armament the armor into a purely offensive form.
This moment is just like that moment back then!!!
Qiji had been holding back from using [Blurring of Illusion and Reality] until now, but this trump card is about to become the key to turning the tide of the battle!
This highlights the importance of wartime adaptability and intelligence suppression!
From this moment forward, the battle has officially entered Qiji's comfort zone!
Qiji touched the mask with his left hand, and [Blurring of Illusion and Reality] activated instantly!
Did you think you could control him with just a few spider silk threads?
Innocent!
Qiji has its own purification function!
[Blurring of Illusion and Reality], de-control!
The moment Kamishiro Chiho's scythe swung down, Qiji Saku flashed and passed directly through the spider silk.
The blurry figure passed through the spider silk and the scythe, like a phantom that didn't exist!
Then, Qiji gripped the sword with both hands, and various colored patterns flashed across the mask.
A dazzling spectacle! A magnificence that surpasses all expectations!
The Sword of No Thought gathers frost!
Burning flames!
Thunderous collapse!
Wind blades followed closely behind!
Qiji pushed his speed to the limit, unleashing four sword strikes in the blink of an eye!
All hit the same point!
At this moment, Kamishiro Chiho only had a single layer of her Heart Essence Mantle left, greatly reducing her defensive power, and she could no longer easily block Qiji's attacks.
In an instant, flesh and blood ripped apart, and excruciating pain shot through the air.
Kamishiro Chiho is bleeding, and this time it's a massive hemorrhage!!!
Qiji saw a glimmer of hope for victory!
He has two more chances to Blurring of Illusion and Reality!
Looking down at her wound, Kamishiro Chiho couldn't believe her eyes.
Her expression at this moment was exactly the same as when Kamishiro Seigen faced Qiji that day— the Blurring of Illusion and Reality.
The same shock, the same astonishment, the same urge to curse!
just...
What the hell is that?!
what happened???
However, Kamishiro Chiho had, after all, fought her way out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
She realized the situation was bad almost instantly, and then immediately took action.
She raised both hands and snapped her fingers repeatedly.
"Not good!" Realizing something, Liuli in mid-air quickly released Echo to try and stop it, but the effect was limited.
Just a moment —
At the alley entrance, a steady stream of figures, their eyes glazed over, gathered like puppets on strings...
They were civilians who had fled from the beach and happened to pass by in their panic.
That's right, Kamishiro Chiho's mind control is ineffective against the overpowered Qiji, and also against Liuli, who is from the same lineage as her. So—
Why not just release it to only the right people?
It was Liuli's desperate attempt to protect the little girl that inspired Kamishiro Chiho.
Since you are all so great—
Okay, then prove it to me!
