The curse was changinginto chilly and uncomfortable sound waves, that will cause decay to one's eardru to it

Mateki, the enshu However-

”Too slow!”

Kra The sound of the road cracking from her steps

Prior to the release of the purple lights ofsuperhuman reaction, nerves and muscles, Run's start to her sprint was already at a speed barely detectable by human eyes

At the sahts of mateki spread into the shape of a fan, with the possible intention of protecting the Yuugenshu

A defensive barrier?

Clenching her shi+nryoku-filled fist, which was made possible via the ritual ht barrier created by mateki - however, her fist was repelled away That was the repulsive effect created when shi+nryoku and mateki were to clash into each other

”Stop hindering me—!”

Run let out a roar while riding on her unstoppable momentum

She forced her repelled fist back, and broke the purple barrier The fist bleay the ht into the core in the middle

The Yuugenshu gave a painful cry before it was destroyed

”Is there no way to solve the proble each other?”

She shook her hand, in order to relieve her numb arm

shi+nryoku andforces, and they repulses each other Even if she is to attack with her shi+nryoku-filled fist, its poill decrease considerably from the repulsive effect of the enshu

”But Run Thanks to that, the Priestesses are safe”

” I know”

Run's face cringed a little when Meimel pointed that out

The saenshu If Meienshu, her shi+nryoku will repels the th of the attack

— Meimel actually has the spare time to tsukkomi me

Suppressing a bitter smile, Run felt a sense of relief

”Then again Their target is still Tenketsu Palace <sophia> huh?”

As Run had already destroyed over ten Yuugenshu, there were only a few reenshu left before theenshu were not targeting the humans at their current area They were always look for opportunities to avoid the battle, and head straight to Tenketsu Palace <sophia> Up till now, froenshu that had bypassed their defense line She was in no mood to calculate the actual numbers

— I can't let anyh

Run bit on her lips tightly, and took a leap With the aid of the streetlights, she her position

She destroyed tinged Yuugenshu with a single kick She then allowed her body to fall, and swung her fist into the Yuugenshu which was directly below her Within a short time span of only a few seconds, she had already destroyed three Yuugenshu

”With that, I should be able to buy some more time—”

Just when she was about to wipe the sweat off her face, one of her subordinates suddenly gave a yell

”Ah ah?Ah Ahhhhhhhhh Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!”

It was neither a screae cry from insanity

He swung his tordswhether he could have slashed anyone in accident One could see a faint deep purplethe back of his head

” It's mind control!”

That is one of the abilities of mateki - the power to send the person that it has cursed into a state of panic Even though it will not directly result in death, the effect is orse than decay and poison in a hectic battlefield That is especially so if the person cursed is a well trained soldier Even if he was just slashi+ng about wildly in confusion, he would still be posing a huge threat

”I'll restrain him Meimel, purify him while I do so!”

Even though that would result in soh the defensive line, such a curse would have to be re her anxiety, and was about to act against her subordinate—

”There is no tiht now”

A young man with tea-red colored hair appeared before her all of the sudden

The surroundinged the slash from the swordsman of Tenketsu Palace <sophia>, then slid past the swordsman's side to his back He raised his hand—

—Thud

He gave a vicious chop at the back of the swordsman's neck The swordsman collapsed on the spot, and fainted immediately

”For mental control in battle, it is much more effective to just knock the cursed person out cold Isn't it so?”

The young ht smile

”Eh Ah Ahhh”

Regaining her senses, Run hurriedly nodded her head in agreement Indeed, she could not beman

However, at the same time, she knew very well how difficult it is to knock out a swordsman of Tenketsu Palace <sophia> from his back If it was not properly done, there is the chance of the executor getting injured by the swordsman instead

As the commander, Run preferred the much safer option

Then again, who is he?

He see radius of the swords the enemy's attack, he had skillfully avoided the slash with his clever movements Aside from Sennenshi+, how many people in Tenketsu Palace <sophia> can actually execute a move like that?

”Oi! You”

Obviously, he was not an ordinary intruder Who exactly is he?

”— Well then, I'll leave things here to you!”

”Ah, wait! Don't leave!”

”Sheltis is my childhood friend”

Oe/ Dia =U xeph cley, Di shela teo phes kaon

The body of the other Yuugenshu began to tremble, and it released a curse-like sound That is the curse which the Yuugenshu possess, filled with the powers of Garden of Corrupted Song den> The reason it is called 'mateki', is due to these sounds

Decay, poison, co There are various ways it can cause har continent One will never knohat's the specific effects without experiencing it himself

The deep purple lights had engulfed Sheltis

”Sheltis, escape quickly!”

”— No need for that”

He turned his body i his wrists alone with the momentum He sliced horizontally at supersonic speed

There was not a single sound ofair All that could be seen was a quiet slash of the sword in a blink of an eye The loas cleaved away by Sheltis' sword

The enshu had totally vanished

Before the Yuugenshu could recover froenshu He jueway to step on the ceilings Using it as a leverage, he dived at the enemy below him

—Kin

A clean sound of dismemberment

As the sound rang, the reave a brief tre into tiny pieces with a dry sound

” I have finally understood the reason for your confidence just now”

Ilis continued on softly with an extremely serious tone

”Up till now, there has never been a case of a huenshu's mateki with your own mateki' huh I see Perhaps I should say you are lucky? In the case of fighting against Yuugenshu, the current you do possess a power that severely topples the balance of the game However—”

After a slight pause, Ilis said,

”Sheltis Do not forget, that can put you in great danger as well”

Since he is carrying mateki in hienshu useless But at the sa hienshu without any fors of the Yuugenshu, a Priestess can use the shi+nryoku within her to for more than a scratch However, since Sheltis lacks the shi+nryoku to protect hi severed from the attack

— Any hit suffered will be a fatal one

In the upcoenshu, the harsh conditions will carry on forever

”No problem I'll just have to do the pre-emptive strike”

”What a si to the data gathered, there is credibility to what you have said”

Since he can attack without having to worry about the barriers of the Yuugenshu, he is thus able to defeat them in the shortest aenshu that are to be found all over Tenketsu Palace <sophia>, he will still be able to enshu arrives

”I'll reain If you are to suffer froenshu, you will not be able to avoid the fatal blow If you are to continue fighting against the Yuugenshu before the arrival of the co will increase greatly Despite all that, are you still going to do it?”

”Of course I am here just for that”

A short ave a flash, of what see to it

” Understood Well then, I'll do my best to assist you”

”Thank you I have faith in your abilities”

”What a headache, to have an oho abuses machines”

The radually became fiery red

”The space required for the locating of Yuugenshu, confir the synthesis of 'Second Hypothesis World', and the sub-interface shall be set as 'rainbow colors' Along with 'Crystal Language', progra Currently, I aenshu that is within a radius of ten thousand meters away from me”

”That's h”

”analyzing the location of the coenshu position captured It is currently at the Third Residential Sector, and flying towards our direction It is gradually rising fro into account its flying speed, the estimated time of its arrival at Tenketsu Palace <sophia>, is only fourteen minutes”

Fourteen enshu in the various levels, and reach the Grand Holy Hall within that period of time

It was a race against time

”Understood Please lead the way”

”It is a great honor to be able to assist you Sheltis, please be careful”

Holding on to the tords which he used in the past—

Sheltis sprinted towards the peak of the tower

ele So Phi-a-s Arma-Riris

Shaaaaaaa A spiraling barrier of red light covered the floors of the Grand Holy Hall, wiping clean the eether That was baptism spell from the arts of shi+nryoku, used to purify mateki

” Thank you”
