I planted a sacred tree in Tokyo.

Chapter 502 What do you take life for?

"Nisnei——"

The mature woman who called herself 'Wang Karen' ran at the speed of a cheetah, even though she was wearing high heels!

As he sped closer, he swung his hands, drawing ten arcs that whistled through the air, slashing fiercely at Tokugawa Shizuka's raised scabbard.

Tear

Amidst the ear-piercing scraping sound, sparks flew.

A burnt steel smell suddenly filled the air, making Tokugawa Shizuka's eyes sharpen.

On her scabbard, striking scratch marks were clearly visible: although she wasn't carrying her own sword, given the Tokugawa family's wealth, even their "ordinary" swords were of excellent quality. The fact that her scabbard had been damaged by her opponent—could it be some kind of "body part training" technique that Teacher Bull Warrior had mentioned?
Partial training: Gather spiritual energy in a certain part of the body, practice hammering repeatedly, and finally transform that part of the body into a weapon.

It's like Teacher Bull Warrior's 'poison sting'.

"Heh, did you think this was 'partial body training'?"

With a casual wave of his hand,

Cut open the metal streetlight next to it.

As the streetlight slipped and fell, this mature woman, resembling a ballroom beauty, raised her hand.

On his five fingers, the crystal-clear 'manicure' gleamed with a cold light.

"The difference between humans and animals is that humans know how to use tools."

"Instead of training oneself to become a weapon, the way humans fight is to make reasonable use of weapons."

On her ten fingers, she wore 'armor sheaths' made with extraordinary alloys, which could achieve the effect of 'razors' that others had painstakingly trained.

Not only that--

brush,

Just as Tokugawa Shizuka suddenly drew her sword and slashed down, the woman raised her leg and kicked high.

Clang!
crackling and popping

The high heel collided with the long sword, producing a crisp metallic clang and a flash of electricity!
"Woo~~"

The current traveled along the long sword.

This caused Tokugawa Shizuka, who was holding the sword, to let out a painful groan.

"These shoes are breathtaking; you should definitely try them!"

Despite her seemingly elegant appearance, Karen—no, Wang Karen—actually carries a large number of weapons. Coupled with her beautiful face, she can kill her opponents with a single, deadly blow once she gets close. She is indeed a competent assassin.

"Zero, I'm here to help you—"

Seeing his companion being taken advantage of and forced to retreat, another man in black, Touma Kamijou, naturally wouldn't stand idly by and prepared to step forward to help.

However, the sound of something cutting through the air from the other side forced Touma Kamijou to turn around.

Bang! !

"Hey, there's a limit to underestimating people, isn't there?"

Accompanied by the girl's teasing voice, the immense force sent Touma Kamijou, who had raised his arm to block, staggering back several steps.

“Even if you have no sense of judgment, you should know that I am the ‘commander’.”

The girl who called herself 'Shionome' tilted her head.

"How dare you turn your back on me?"

He is simply asking for death!
"Yi, you hold that guy off first."

On the other side, Tokugawa Shizuka, who was engaged in a fierce battle with the beautiful woman in the long dress, took a moment to shout something.

"I'll help you after I take down this 'murderous woman'!"

?

"My title is 'Queen of Murder'!!"

Veins bulged on her fair forehead; the mature beauty in the long dress was furious and couldn't even control her speech.

Her title in the Kengan Association was indeed 'Kallen the Killer Queen', but after being defeated by Shinonome in one move, she earned the nickname 'Kallen the Killer Queen'. Unfortunately, she couldn't beat her opponent, so she could only swallow her anger.

I may not be able to beat Shinonome, but I can certainly beat you, a little ninja!

Clang, clang, clang, clang, clang!

Claws slashed across the ground, leaving trails of tearing marks. The high-heeled shoes, crackling with visible electricity, collided with Tokugawa Shizuka's longsword, creating sparks and a deafening roar.

And the other side:
Bang!
"Why, why don't you attack?"

With another punch, the girl knocked Touma Kamijou back. She continued her fierce attack with striking techniques while still having time to talk.

"It can't be."

With a sweeping motion of her foot, taking advantage of the moment when the man in black stepped back to dodge, the girl named 'Dongyun' did not pursue him, but instead raised her hand and pulled the zipper of her tracksuit.

brush,

As the zipper was pulled all the way down, it revealed:
what? !

Touma Kamijou's eyes widened instantly!

Don't get me wrong, the girl is wearing combat gear under her loose sportswear.

But when a bra-style corset is combined with V-shaped tights, it's more like lingerie than a combat suit!

???

"shameless!"

Not to mention Touma Kamijou, Shizuka Tokugawa on the other side glanced at it and instantly flew into a rage.

If you're going to fight, then fight properly. Why are you taking your clothes off?!

And what's with that underwear?

Is it for seducing men?
"Distracted in battle, courting death—"

The long-skirted beauty, Karen, had no interest in watching her companion's 'sexy' antics. Relying on technology, she grabbed the opponent's long sword with one hand, and with her other hand, fingers spread wide, she suddenly grabbed at the opponent's throat!

With the finger guards on her hands infused with extraordinary alloys, she could cut through steel, let alone flesh and blood.
brush,

However, this claw missed its mark!

The opponent simply leaned back slightly and narrowly avoided the fatal attack.

He didn't even look at her directly.

"Have you had enough? You old lady relying on props."

Stimulated by the battle on the other side, Tokugawa Shizuka turned her head and glanced at the blonde beauty in the long dress in front of her.

"From now on, you'll never touch my clothes again; if you want to beg for mercy, now's the time."

???

"Who are you calling 'old auntie'?"

Now it was the turn of the 'murderous woman', Karen Wang, to be enraged!

However, Tokugawa Shizuka dared to say this, and she had her reasons: with the opponent's fierce and relentless attacks, fingers, claws, fists, and feet—without pursuing strength, Karen's equipment was already imbued with formidable lethality.

However, no matter how fiercely the opponent attacked, Tokugawa Shizuka could easily dodge in advance, as if she already knew the opponent's next move.

How can this be? !
That's cheating!
The 'murderous woman' was utterly shocked.

"Hehe, he really is a virgin~~"

the other side,
The situation is completely one-sided.

Faced with Shinonome taking off his coat to reveal his 'combat suit', Kamijou Touma was completely outmatched.

Not only because the opponent's 'combat suit' was too sexy, but also because:

"Is it because I'm a girl that I can't do it?"

With a swift kick, Touma Kamijou was sent flying, and the girl named 'Shinonome' tilted her head.

"Sure enough, I noticed it just now."

"Your 'predictive' ability is too strong! It's so strong that you were able to block all my attacks even in this chaotic situation."

After speaking, the girl spread her arms out, and because of the outstretched arms, her chest swelled proudly, causing the man in black—that is, Kamijou Touma—to instinctively look away.

"Thanks to that, if you were a normal opponent, I probably wouldn't have gained the upper hand so easily, right?"

"However, this is also why I can't enjoy fighting."

The girl lowered her arms and leaned forward. She looked as if she was preparing to charge, yet also as if her hands were exhausted.

"I didn't take off my coat to distract you; I'm getting serious now. Six Styles—"

Danger! !
In an instant, Touma Kamijou's hair stood on end.

A powerful attack was coming. Instinctively, he raised his arms and crossed them. Facing the girl in front of him, Touma Kamijou was still unable to make a move.

tread,

A figure flashed,
The other party was approaching at an astonishing speed.

At the same time, the girl clenched her fist and placed it on her waist. The muscles and tendons under her skin contracted, contracted, and contracted again under the blessing of spiritual power!

Like a spring compressed to its limit, the girl's arm suddenly shot forward, her fist striking forward at a terrifying speed exceeding the speed of sound: to an ordinary wolf-level superhuman, such an attack would at most appear as a streak of light.

"Broken Sky!"

boom----

A white shockwave exploded outwards, and Touma Kamijou was sent flying backwards like a cannonball.

boom! boom! boom!
Three loud bangs echoed through the city under the cover of night, but they were not explosions; they were the sounds of flesh and blood hitting buildings.

"Shang-Yi?!"

Turning her head abruptly to look at the shattered wall of the research institute and the human-shaped black hole above it, Tokugawa Shizuka's heart leaped into her throat.

This is no longer a wolf-level attack, but a tiger-level attack!

"Hahaha, the roles are reversed~~"

All the attacks missed, but the beautiful Karen in her long dress smiled.

That's right, she couldn't hit her opponent, but now it's become a matter of her holding them off while Dongyun deals with his opponent.
brush----

A flash of cold light suddenly caught her eye, interrupting Karen's plans.

Pfft

Amidst the splattering blood, the beautiful woman in the long dress retreated again and again.

"How could this be?!"

Her seemingly light dress was actually infused with divine tree fibers, providing defense comparable to an armored vehicle; yet it was slashed through in a single stroke.
Before she could catch her breath, her opponent had already unleashed a series of slashes, his killing intent boiling over!
He was a completely different person from his previous demeanor.

Oops,

This guy has murderous intent!
"Hehe, that's the essential difference between you and me."

Standing outside the hole in the wall of the research institute, the alluring girl named 'Dongyun' raised her hand and waved. She knew very well that the other party was not dead.

"You have no experience killing people, do you, buddy—"

"That's why you're hesitant in battle."

splash,

From the building's hollow, a hunched figure staggered out.

His left arm was twisted and clearly broken.

"And I have already killed 25 people."

The girl's proud self-introduction,
"Only by acting without hesitation in battle can one achieve true victory."

"kill."

In the void, the boy with his head bowed interrupted Dongyun's words.

"Is it something amazing?"

?

The other person raised their head, revealing half of their defiant face beneath a tattered black mask.

"Such a nonchalant attitude—what do you take life for?"

? !
The other person's gaze was piercing, causing the girl, Dongyun, to instinctively take a step back.

Then, feeling frustrated, angry, and conflicted because of their own retreat:
“Shameless words!!”

boom,

Enraged by his opponent, Dongyun no longer held back and revealed his trump card.

A gust of wind emanated from her body, her muscles began to swell, her figure grew taller out of thin air, her short hair continued to grow, and large patches of spider web-like patterns appeared on her body, revealing her tiger-like aura!
"In this world, only the strong have the right to define everything; the lives of the weak are less than those of ants!"

Shinonome, who had 'transformed' into a mature woman, clenched her fist.
"I can kill with just one finger now."

brush----

As she transformed, her opponent charged at high speed, his right hand, with its five fingers outstretched, reaching for her face.

So fast, but you can dodge it—?
Even though he had already dodged, the sensation on his face and the fingers obscuring his vision made Dongyun realize something in surprise:
She was caught.

Earn it right away?!

What shocked Dongyun even more was that, for some reason, the 'spiritual power' within her body, which she could control like her own limbs, was completely unresponsive.

Before she could think any further, the world spun around her, a violent tremor came from the back of her head, and her body felt as if it had been squeezed into something solid. Then her consciousness was plunged into darkness.

boom! ! !
Grabbing the other person's face, he suddenly slammed the 'transformed' girl heavily onto the ground. With a deafening roar, the earth shattered into a crater several meters wide.

“I am different from you,”

Standing up from the crater, Touma Kamijou glanced at the unconscious girl on the ground.

"I don't want to see anyone die."

Even this self-proclaimed female assassin who killed 25 people did not kill.

Turning to look in the other direction:
"Yi, are you alright?"

Tokugawa Shizuka rushed over anxiously. The battle on her side had already ended. A certain 'murderous woman' had been kicked in the chin by her with a soccer ball, and was lying limp on the ground with her butt sticking out. She definitely wouldn't wake up for several hours.

"I'm fine"

"go!"

They helped up Touma Kamijou, whose clothes were tattered and whose arm was twisted, and the two quickly left the battlefield.

Third school district,

The pharmaceutical company's underground base
"Shinonome and Kallen were killed?"

Hina Hongo, with her starry eyes, turned around, a look of surprise on her small face.

"We can let Karen go, since her main job is as a hostess; but Shinonome has the ability to 'transform,' how could she be taken down so easily?"

"No, news from the scene indicates that the two individuals are not dead."

The middle-aged police inspector pressed his earpiece.

"They're just unconscious. Judging from the signs of the battle, it was a one-sided and crushing defeat!"

Because the other party was a member of the Kengan Association, the Metropolitan Police Department did not dispatch special police or various surveillance drones; unexpectedly, the Kengan Association's expert fell down so quickly?
Thankfully, no one was sent!

Otherwise, there should have been several more special police officers among those lying down.

"Just knocked them both out? Interesting~~"

"This doesn't sound like a foreign spy, and their capabilities are quite impressive."

Hongo Hime thought for a moment, then snapped her fingers.

"Next time, let me do it."

?

“That’s great,”

The middle-aged police inspector was taken aback at first, then his expression relaxed.

With this person taking action, no matter who the enemy is, defeat is the only possibility!
This is the president of the 'Kengan Association', whose various fighting skills are superb. He even used the extraordinary serum to break through the limits of humanity and become a 'Great Demon'. Although he is not good at large-scale destruction, he has a strong suppressive force against humanoid units.

After all, this is the 'New Bunkyo Ward', and no matter what damage is caused, it is the island nation's property that suffers the loss.

"It would be perfect for this person to take action," the superintendent nodded.

"Then I'll leave it to Chairman Hongo."
