Vol 8 Chapter 5 (2/2)

Swinging the Mistilteinn he held in his hand sideways, clad in azure-colored knightly arnolia

”So you wanna go at it after all huh And here my body is already cold after bein' hit by that avalanche”

The two in witch hunter forlared at each other

Takeru pointed his sword at Magnolia, a flame dwelled in his pupils

”Kusanagi Double-Edged style initiate, Kusanagi Takeru——if you don't intend to pull away, I'll cut you up with all I have!”

Magnolia shrugged and aiuns tiredly

However, her eyes alone were shi+ning like that of a hungry wolf

”Inquisition's Zeroth Externolia Scarlet It can't be helped so this once, as your senior, I'll take you on”

”——Cut the crap!”

Takeru thrust into Magnolia's bosom for the first move victory

It was a bad idea to prolong the fight if one had guns as their opponent

He closed the distance all at once and slashed using all his bodily strength!

When Takeru nearly reached Magnolia, he swung the sword in order to cut off her arm

”I see——I see!!”

However, Magnolia lightly twisted her body and avoided the blow Takeru put everything in

”Wha!”

After the slash was avoided, the sword continued to travel in the same direction with a surplus momentum

He definitely triggered Sou, even reinforced itch hunter form wouldn't have been able to catch up to his movement

Riding on the ht hand

A total of five rounds Scarlet-colored ical bullets closed onto Takeru

These bullets ain't that fast! This !

He cut all of it

Reading the trajectory, if his sword rides the flow it'll easily——

——Contrary to Takeru's prediction, the ht in front of him

”?!”

Once again, Takeru's sword cut the air

In the slow-nolia's mouth distort

”——Bam♪”

Moical bullets suspended in the air assaulted Takeru's body all at once

Five impacts blew Takeru away

The bullets haven't disappeared even after hitting and caused Takeru's body to dance in the air like a pinball

Thewith a hu Takeru

He was being overrun until the ical power of the bullets was exhausted

By the time he fell on top of the snow, Takeru's body in witch hunter form was all beat up

”You're quite brittle despite all that big talk ain't you But I get it now, I've heard about it but this is the brain processing speed acceleration eh I see I see, certainly, that's cheating”

”damnwhy!”

Using the sword as a walking stick Takeru stood up

Another one after Haunted and Elizabeth Humans who can catch up with Sou of possibilities, there would be accelerating processing speed by ic or someone who has ed style

”Ahh, let me say this, I'ic okay?”

”There's noway!”

”It's true It's all thanks to my intuition and experience is what I want to say, but that's not it either Thosethat can be dealt with so easily Unfortunately, this strength is so I borrowed”

Magnolia raised her hands with a shrug

Borrowed Magnolia definitely said that

He thought its one of the benefits fronolia put a hand on her chest

”See, Alche so I went as a candidate They want to make it practical, I wonder if that makes me a prototype”

She forcefully peeled off the armor on her chest

Unable to understand that action, Takeru felt a discomfort

”Been a while since you last ht? She wanted to meet you so she'll definitely be happy〜”

”what are you talking about”

”It was quite hard ya know? The ive her a chance she erodes my body and the ets horny I wonder what kind of expression will she make once she sees your face? Let's try it”

Magnolia moved her hand away from her chest and showed off her skin to Takeru

Judging by the color there was an old wound in thereas in the center, Takeru felt a buzz inside of his chest

The crucial was the single word Magnolia said

”——Look, it's your beloved Onii-chan〜”

He felt a chill in his spine

In the center of Magnolia's chest, there, was so akin to a dark red tumor

It was familiar to him Takeru saw it twice in the past

First time was on the day he lost his father and mother

The second tio

There was no way he could forget it That cursed yet dear existence

When Magnolia said ”Onii-chan”, the eyelids lodged inside of the turadually opened

Behind them, there was a horribly clear, red eye

Takeru shi+vered, feeling sadness, fear and despair

The opened red eye stared at Takeru's figure——and laughed gently

『”Onii-chan”』

——He felt Kiseki's voice echo in his head, even though it shouldn't be possible

The eye variant once again closed its eyelid sleepily

”Chair for a way to control yer lil' sis, it was finally found after movin' her to Alchemist”

””

”When they atteo berserk like usual, but with REM sleep state isa variety of changes Alche electrical signal and her body in short, they were able to stabilize Hyakki Yakou”

””

”By using drea her artificially has beco that point, the cos〜 Like I said earlier, as an experimental subject I had the Hyakki Yakou's cell transplanted into a part of my body is what it means”

While watching Takeru's reactions, Magnolia spoke joyfully

”Thanks to that thened to the level of witch hunter for speed improved too, see? And with just some cells? Naw, really, the demon's body is a this well is really fun!”

”——”

”Oh, by the way, do you want to knohat kind of a dream is Kiseki-chan havin' now? Seriously! This is some stuff that makes me embarrassed just by lookin'! The only characters innit is Onii-chan and the little sister! In a world there's no one else in they're goin' on dates, eatin' together, kissinn' and uhihihi, even Onii-chan would be taken aback if he heard that one〜! Maybe it's better not to say it〜! No, let's say it! In that girl's dream she and Onii-chan are——”

”YOU BITTCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCHHHHHHHHHHHHHHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!”

Takeru burst into anger, his eyes were dyed bright red as he rushed at Magnolia

His speed was at Soumatou's limit

The attack reaching speed of sound has assaulted Magnolia

”Uhyahyahyahya! I said it won't work!”

Magnolia laughed loudly and parried Takeru's attack with the gun's barrel

Once again, the Relic Eater released ical bullets

The bulletsobted Takeru faster than his maximum speed was and assaulted him

”My bloody Mary's ical bullets are manipulated with my will! Admittedly, it ain't too convenient to use, but thanks to the deh speed!”

Takeru's body was exposed to the ical bullets

It was as if he was being hit by a un The impact ca apart away

Furtherical power, Magnolia closed the distance between theun's muzzle under his chin

”——Good night♪”

She squeezed the trigger, hit directly by a ical bullet under his chin, Takeru's head twitched upwards

Although the poasn't all that big since it was suppressed, it was strong enough to completely crush his jaw

Like a boxer hit by an uppercut, Takeru bent backwards But thinking he would fall over if that continued——he sunk his head doards and rebuilt his posture, and his neck was grasped by Magnolia

”Ghh! He seriously despite being dah!”

”Tear off that immediately! That's part of Kiseki! Give her back! That's not so you!”

”Uhahahahaha! What's this guy sayin' now! This is a part of the curse affecting your lil' sis' ain't it? Since I took over part of that, rather than hating rateful eh?”

”!!”

”——As if, foooooooool! If left alone it would continue to grow endlessly, there's no way takin' two of those would make it easier on that brat! Uhyahyahyahyahya!”

In response to Magnolia's provocation, Takeru's anger burst forth again

Pulling back his arm, he attempted to thrust with his sword

However, Magnolia's power, speed and defense was higher, she released the constraint and fled kicking him in the belly

Blown through the snow, Takeru was about to hit a large tree painted white

On the bring of the clash, he triggered a technique

”——Ghost Light Firefly!”

Placing his legs on the tree, he ju the recoil's momentum

Pulverizing the large tree, Takeru's body flew over to Magnolia in straight line

Five un's muzzle

Although the scarlet bullets surrounded Takeru, he read their flow and cut the

”You can get even faster?! T-this ain't good”

Magnolia displayed impatience

Riding on the flow, Takeru approached Magnolia without killing the momentum

At the saht foot forward and sheathed his sword

He clenched the sheath and handle in an instant, and a repulsive force was generated on the fingers holding the collar

”Double-Edged style——Heavenly Evil Spirit!!”

A super-speed drawing technique was released

It was impossible to avoid No matter if the opponent had demon's cells embedded, even if they could catch up with Sou techniques Takeru had and unavoidable

The sword approached the neck of stunned Magnolia

Her expression distorted, faced with i death

”——Just jookin'”

The nolia showed hiue sloppily

It was too late to be on guard

He was hit by a sensation as if a switch was pressed in the space itself

The blade didn't stop Moving straight, it cut Magnolia's throat

Stillthe sword, Takeru opened his eyes widely

So happened But, he didn't knohat

His wide-opened eyes stared at Magnolia

And there was——

”Unfortunately”

——Magnolia whose head should have been cut off was intact, and showed hiue

Takeru did a cross-cut with the sword, slashi+ng Magnolia through the brain from above

Without a doubt, this tinolia in half

He raised his head with confidence

——She was intact

Magnolia laughed as if looking down on him

Faced with impossible situation, Takeru's lips trembled

”——ngh, oooOOOOOOOoOOO!”

Using Ghost Light Firefly he released continuous attacks, chopping Magnolia up

But no e to her

Even though there was a resistance, there was a feeling of so cut

And yet——she wouldn't go down

”It's pointless no ic 《Turn Over》 This oes No matter how e”

”what?!”

”This too, is really inconvenient to use But it has an overwhelic and can only cut people up〜”

While continuously receiving Takeru's attacks, Magnolia set up the guns in both her hands

The destruction and recovery are reversed All the attacks turn into recovery, all recovery turns into destruction

If that was true, Takeru had no way around it

”It's seriously tiring to suppress the power Sorry 'bout this——but I'll crush your limbs for real”

Magical bullets were emitted from bloody Mary

Rather than a scarlet sphere, as eons

The bullet bit on Takeru's linawed on him

”GAAAaAAHhhhhhhhh!”

Takeru made a painful cry

《”Host!”》

Lapis who has been silent up until now called out to Takeru with a bitter voice

Although he'd like to tell her not to worry, he couldn't There were only bones left on his legs and his hands were torn off completely

”It's pointless to try recoverin' If I put a serious aon bullets will persist for two minutes”

”damnit!”

”Come on already, don't o and clean up your leader there”

Passing by Takeru whose liaru who couldn't move stuck under a fallen tree

Nagaru turned her exhausted face towards Magnolia

And laughed

Magnolia directed the gun'sdown on her

”I wonder why are ya laughing on the death's doorstep Is there so with yer head?”

”ha, haha”

”Oh, that reative feelings or so”

How enviable, Magnolia muttered ironically

Nagaru still laughed She looked at Magnolia and laughed

”There's that too〜 but the reason I' else”

”Ha?”

”Na, haha this is a bit surprising〜 I didn't think that you would be a girl〜”

A girl The nolia's eyes shook

Nagaru continued not bothered

”Why is she dressing like aat the scars on your breasts, one would think soht”

”hey”

”If you want to how about you tell ht be able to save you why do you hate the world so much could you tell me?”

Hearing unexpected words, Magnolia turned expressionless

Saving Magnolia, an enenolia must have looked delicious

Magnolia pressed a rasping her collar

Nagaru's crushed legs let out a sound of being torn off

”U-ghuuuu!”

”Don't get ahead of yourself, you daarbage like you!”

Baring her eer

With a troubled sth from her body

”I see〜, a shauess it's the end of it”

”Really a shaonna bloay this rotten brain of yours!”

Nagaru squinted and let out a sigh

”Really it's a shaood if it was the last time

——It would be good if this was the last time I hurt a person directly”

She spoke puzzling words

As if to say she feels unpleasant, Magnolia put strength into the finger on the trigger

——It was then, a sound of soh the meat on her abdomen could be heard

”ah?”

She stopped squeezing the trigger and looked at her abdomen

In there, piercing through her was an old-fashi+oned dagger The handle was held by Nagaru

She was stabbed In that instant

Magnolia laughed it off as so pointless

”hahahahaha! You don't knohen to give up, racoon! Don't you understand?! Right now the dae and recovery is reversed for m——”

”I know that That's why I stabbed you——with that Magical Heritage”

Monolia's abdomen

The dagger shone

Magnolia released her hands froer stabbed in her

Soon enough, a pain froertips

”——This is!”

”Yup The Magical Heritage that was at the inn's hot spring source Its effect is recovery of the pierced target I thought it otiated with the properties to borrow it”

Losing the support Nagaru fell on top of the snow and said so while s weakly

Magnolia took a step back staggering

A fierce pain ran through her belly and light wrapped around her body

Her appearanceburned in flames of a pale aqua colour

Before her entire body rapped in flaaru's face

Nagaru sretfully and said

”Sorry It's an A-class Magical Heritage so it's effectiveness is tremendous”

Inolia's body was burned in flanolia pulled out the blade from her abdomen in a hurry

Even with the dagger pulled out, the recovery effect has seeped into her blood and continued to persist

At the nolia suffered hell

As Magnolia writhed and screaized to her

Thehis liaru

She shtly to him

”We s〜”

”don't laugh at times like this too My lis can't be laughed off so easily”

”Nn〜it's real cold in the snow, they'll surely stick back〜”

Takeru was unable to respond to this broken positiveness

She looked incredibly strong as she laughed despite being so beat-up Even if it was because of a defect, he thought she was a strong person

”If not for President I lost Thank you very much I said that I'll protect you, but I was protected instead I have nothing to say”

”Nn〜fufu〜 You were protected, mm? Spoiled boy〜”

Being told that with a sweet voice, Takeru blushed

And then, Nagaru pursed her lips with ”Nmm〜” and turned towards him

There was a good mood earlier, but it was all ruined now

”um, what's with that”

”Isn't this the part where hero and heroine who have overcome a hardshi+p kiss?”

”It's not a last scene of an actionit!”

”Smoo〜och”

”I said I won't do it!”

After exchanging a coaru and Takeru sighed

It wasn't over yet They needed to confirm everyone's safety

He needs Lapis to recover his limbs and perform a search

The ht so

Suddenly, Magnolia's body that was supposed to be unable to move jumped on top of the snow

”Gi-ghh aghaaa!!”

A piercing screaaru to tense up

Magnolia writhed on top of the snohile scratching her chest

”don't move! It's very severe, you'll die if you er, stay there quiet——”

”——Wru-wron' his, this! This, the ot hit the eye woke up!”

She cried with a desperate tone of voice

The eye, woke up?

What on earth, he was unable to ask

After all, the change has already begun

A nolia's chest

Like blood vessels it crawled through her body, and extending into the snow it dyed it red

”shi+t, not good I can't suppress it no longer——g-gyaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!”

Along with the scream, waves of meat overflowed

It was exactly the same stuff that sed entire section of a city before

Distorted meat chunks clotted with eyes and mouths

The wide-opened eyeballs stared at Takeru simultaneously

And,
