In an instant, the thirty beams of light pierced through Kurumi Tokisaki's body, pinning her to the ground.
Then the light slowly disappeared, turning into countless feathers that floated back to Mana Takamiya's display device.
This is the ranged attack method that Takamiya Mana is proud of; it can launch thirty spears at once.
An unavoidable skill with a locking ability.
It could even be called a curse, as it has the power to directly reverse causality.
Chapter 297: Law of Cause and Effect
This can also be called one of the crystallizations of DEM wisdom. Kanzaki Hikaru's ability is actually similar to this.
However, we cannot yet manipulate it with such skill; we are merely changing the possibilities.
It hasn't reached the point of directly reversing causality yet; after all, if it did, it would be too late.
So defeating the opponent is just a matter of thought; you can even resurrect them by reversing the causal law after killing them.
However, this ability is so overpowered that even Kanzaki Hikaru has not mastered it yet.
Therefore, this display device, created by gathering all the power of DEM, can only be described as "terrifying"; there is no other word that can adequately describe it.
An ordinary enemy would be instantly killed by such an attack, but this is still not Mana Takamiya's strongest ability.
"23, oh my, you really don't hold back. We're supposed to be business partners now."
However, it's obvious that if such an attack could defeat Tokisaki Kurumi, it would be far too easy.
Takamiya Mana was well aware of this, so her only goal was to delay her.
During this brief moment, the display device behind Takamiya Mana emitted a faint glow.
Although the scene wasn't as magnificent as I had imagined, the speed was still astonishing.
This is also a result of the weight reduction, after all, a more efficient combat method is needed.
Moreover, this makes it less likely for the opponent to spot you, and allows you to maintain high-speed movement.
"Hmph, the only one I cooperate with is my elder brother. Who do you think you are?"
With a cold snort, Takamiya Mana increased her speed again, her desire to seize the initiative was now crystal clear.
"You're really not giving me any face, but do you think you can control me like this?"
With a wicked smile, Tokisaki Kurumi vanished into the shadows.
Although Mana Takamiya's speed is already too fast for the naked eye to detect, it still can't compare to Kurumi Tokisaki when she uses her spirit power.
Moreover, Kurumi Tokisaki used the First Bullet on herself, which made her even faster.
However, Takamiya Mana was also very clear about this, after all, the two had fought countless times over the years.
Despite Kanzaki Teru's intervention, the friction between the two sides did not diminish at all.
After realizing that Kurumi Tokisaki had disappeared into the shadows, the same light shone behind Mana Takamiya once again.
"The Thousand Thorns Spear - Type II!"
Thirty more rays of light appeared, transforming into the shape of spears, and their target remained Tokisaki Kurumi.
"I already told you, this thing is useless to me."
Seeing Mana Takamiya using the same move, Kurumi Tokisaki didn't take her opponent's attack seriously at all.
They were even prepared to die, although such thoughts were already crazy enough.
"That's hard to say."
However, a faint smile appeared on Takamiya Reimana's face the moment she saw that smile.
A bad feeling welled up in Tokisaki Kurumi's heart, and she subconsciously wanted to distance herself from the opponent's attack.
He then raised the two weapons in his hands and pulled the triggers.
"Zfklite - Bullet 5! Bullet 7!"
One gun was pointed at him, while the other was pointed at the spear flying towards him.
The seventh bullet accurately hit the opponent's attack, which should have been halted in place but was not affected in the slightest.
It had the exact same effect as when the Seventh Bullet hit Takamiya Mana, only causing her to pause for a brief moment.
Although this was expected, Kurumi Tokisaki had already reached a point where she could no longer avoid it.
Even with the increased speed from the first shot, escape was still impossible, as the opponent's attacks were relentless and ever-present.
Although a certain distance has been created, there is no effective solution.
Just as these spears, numbering 800, struck Kurumi Tokisaki, they stopped in front of her and changed their form once again.
This time, its form is completely different from before, and it doesn't even look aggressive at all.
However, Kurumi Tokisaki only felt uneasy, after all, she already knew what kind of being it was.
The fifth bullet—he, a bullet capable of predicting the future.
This is the bullet that Kurumi Tokisaki fired at herself; the power of this bullet can be said to have surpassed the third dimension.
Therefore, the consumption of time is extremely intense. The more critical issue is that even after consuming a lot of time, the foreseeable future is only about three seconds later.
It was simply too much of a loss, so Kurumi Tokisaki almost sealed this ability away.
After all, such a short period of time would have very little effect; although it might have some impact, the chances of it being effective are extremely slim.
Chapter 298: A Temporary Victory
However, after such a long period of growth, Tokisaki Kurumi's ability has also been elevated.
The time consumption is no longer fixed; she can predict the length of future time by adjusting the injection time.
This time, Kurumi Tokisaki only foresaw what would happen ten seconds later, yet it took her almost a month to complete the task. However, it was worth it, after all...
"Give up, you can't get out of here."
Looking at Kurumi Tokisaki trapped inside, Mana Takamiya felt somewhat smug.
"It seems so."
Even if one wants to pass through, an unseen force will prevent it.
"This was designed especially for you, the Thousand Thorns Spear - Type II, Iron Maiden."
It can trap spirits directly within it, similar to a simplified version of the AEED—an anti-spirit power enchantment barrier device.
This is the source of Kurumi Tokisaki's bad feeling, after all, she has suffered from this many times before.
However, in reality, although this device could temporarily trap Tokisaki Kurumi, its effect was not as good as expected.
One method is to trap Kurumi Tokisaki, but it is still necessary to kill all of her clones and exhaust all the time before Kurumi Tokisaki can be truly and completely killed.
Just like the name of this ability—Iron Maiden—it traps the enemy and then launches countless unavoidable attacks.
It's like constantly killing the enemies within, but that presents another problem.
That means the energy consumption was too intense, even for someone like Takamiya Mana, who was considered an ace.
Even operating this ability at full power cannot sustain it for more than ten minutes, but that time is sufficient.
"Pfft, pfft, pfft, you can stay there by yourself. Go find your big brother first."
Seeing Tokisaki Kurumi trapped in place and unable to move, Takamiya Mana revealed a victorious smile.
"Is it really?"
However, Kurumi Tokisaki remained completely unmoved by this situation.
The only thing that surprised her was that this was an ability that could have completely killed her, yet Takamiya Mana used it in such a way.
As AST's ace member, is it really okay for him to do something like this?
"Oh? You don't actually think you can escape, do you?"
Give up. Although this is a simplified version, its actual effect is no worse than the original.
Even you can't escape it.
At this moment—for some reason, looking at the smile on Tokisaki Kurumi's face, Takamiya Mana felt a sense of unease.
"Are you sure it's okay for you to be so unhurried?"
"You don't need to worry. This ability can hold you captive for at least ten minutes, which is enough time."
"Oh, is that true?"
"What do you mean? Even if you bluff here, it won't work."
Seeing the other person's completely unhurried expression, Takamiya Mana's sense of unease intensified.
"Could it be that!?"
As if realizing something, Takamiya Mana slightly raised her hand.
Suddenly, the cage that had been trapping Kurumi Tokisaki emitted a faint golden light again, and in the next moment...
Countless sharp blades pierced through the opponent's body, but what happened next was the scene that Takamiya Makoto least wanted to see.
Kurumi Tokisaki, who was supposed to summon her clones again, did not appear there; only her corpse remained.
As life faded, the body no longer contained any elven power and subsequently left that space.
"Damn it!"
Upon realizing this, Takamiya Mana immediately activated her manifestation device to maximum power.
They moved at full speed towards the Kanzaki Hikari Hotel, since Tokisaki Kurumi had already gotten there first.
Normally, if she were killed, Tokisaki Kurumi should reappear in that barrier.
After all, AEED can stop the power of spirits, so no matter what, Kurumi Tokisaki has no way to escape.
However, the reality she now faces is that after killing Tokisaki Kurumi, there was no longer any spirit energy reaction within that barrier.
In other words, what she was actually trapped in was not her original body but a clone.
During this time, Kurumi Tokisaki had already escaped to find Teru Kanzaki—
"Oh dear, I've been killed. It seems that Masana has already discovered it."
