I don't want to be an elf!

After all, this was the first time she had used someone else's spirit crystal.

In the original work, there is only one case where Tokisaki Kurumi used Honjou Nia's Spirit Crystal.

In other words, as long as one has enough spiritual power, any elf girl can use another person's spiritual crystal without any side effects.

With this thought in mind, Yatogami Tohka no longer waited and enveloped the spirit crystal with her spiritual power.

Then, she slowly placed it into her body.

"Buzzing..."

Inside the body, the two spirit crystals in the abdomen seemed to be testing each other, emitting a soft chirping sound.

As they drew closer and closer, and became familiar with each other's spiritual energy wavelengths, the two spiritual crystals began to resonate with each other.

A new wavelength of spiritual energy has been generated!

An even more powerful aura erupted from Tohka Yatogami.

This is a fluctuation generated during evolution, which even she herself cannot suppress.

"bite----!"

The two spirit crystals have been synchronized.

A blinding light flashed from Tohka Yatogami's body, transforming into a pillar of light that shot into the sky, scattering the clouds.

Even the residents of other floating islands not far away could see this beam of light shooting straight into the sky.

The beastmen discussed the matter animatedly, some excitedly, others warily.

Not far away, Black Candle Lord, who hadn't gone far, also sensed this power and turned back in astonishment.

This power is no less than it was in his prime.

It is even superior to some star gods.

"What terrifying power," Black Candle Master murmured to himself. "I never thought she could use other spirit crystals so skillfully. With this power, it might really be possible to reclaim the ground."

Suppressing his urge to investigate, he continued on to his destination.

After all, he had important things to do.

Although Swann did not leave him any last words, he left behind something even more important.

In front of the castle garden, the intense light forced Nephren to step back and raise her arms to shield her eyes.

After a few breaths, the beam of light gradually disappeared.

And the terrifying aura emanating from Tohka Yatogami was finally regained and suppressed by her.

Nephren lowered her arm and looked at Tohka Yatogami in front of her.

After stabilizing her power, Yatogami Tohka couldn't wait to lower her head and look at her own changes.

The armor she wore remained armor, not an elegant and dignified evening gown.

However, the amethyst-like color turned into a mix of black and red, and her once heroic and valiant aura suddenly changed, making her look like a blood-soaked, dark god of death.

The right eye was no longer a bright purple eye, but a shrunken golden clock.

The total amount of spiritual energy did not increase much, but its quality improved by more than one level.

Not only that, she also felt a familiar power hidden within her body, which was at her command just like that of the Ao Sha Gong.

"Emperor Keke!"

Yatogami Tohka shouted loudly.

The next moment, a huge Roman clock appeared behind her, exuding a heavy aura that belonged only to time.

Two flintlock muskets, one long and one short, formed from the hour and minute hands, appeared in her hands.

"Fourth Bullet!"

At the Roman numeral four, a wisp of black smoke emerged and entered the barrel of the flintlock musket.

Although we haven't used the City of Time to collect time yet, if it's just the Fourth Bullet which is at the forefront, the time required isn't too much. Even the current Yatogami Tohka can use it many times.

She pointed the black muzzle of the gun at Nephren.

Nephren was stunned.

This world also has flintlock muskets, but they are too weak and not popular in the Winged Army.

Even if they couldn't injure the Seventeenth Beast, killing the Beastman and the Golden Fairy would be a piece of cake.

Yes, even if they could use magic, the power of firearms would still be fatal to golden fairies with mortal bodies.

She didn't know why Tohka Yatogami was pointing a gun at her.

She thought it was just a joke.

Just as he was about to say something, he saw Yatogami Tohka pull the trigger.

"boom--!"

The bullet was fired from the gun barrel.

At such close range, even a golden fairy could not escape.

Nephren closed her eyes.

Chapter Sixty-Four: The Use of the Fourth Bullet

The expected pain shot into my forehead.

But the expected death did not arrive as predicted.

After waiting for a long time, Nephren's consciousness remained clear, causing her to open her eyes in confusion as she prepared to face death.

The moment she opened her eyes, what she saw was Tohka Yatogami's face, a mixture of expectation and worry.

"Lian, how are you feeling?"

"how......?"

Nephren repeated her words somewhat blankly.

She touched her forehead, certain that the bullet had hit her.

She could still feel a slight pain, but there was no blood hole on her forehead.

Forget about how she felt, she didn't even fully understand what had happened.

"Why...why didn't I die?"

Upon hearing Nephren's mutterings, Tohka Yatogami's expression suddenly froze.

The divine armor and the angel both disappeared.

Like a child who has done something wrong, her expression became tense.

“Sorry, I forgot to tell you about Zafkiel’s ability.” Tohka Yatogami stuck two fingers together. “The bullets just now were harmless; they were just bullets with special abilities.”

"You should have told me this sooner." Nephren sighed deeply. "You were the one who fused with the spirit crystal. Just because you know how to use it doesn't mean I know. I almost thought I was going to die just now."

"Waaah, I'm so sorry."

"Alright, that's enough, I've explained it clearly." Nephren rubbed her temples. "So, what was the power of that bullet just now?"

"The bullet just now was the fourth bullet, and its ability is to rewind time in the body."

"Rewind...the body's time?" Nephren asked thoughtfully. "In other words, if the body is injured, being hit by the Fourth Bullet will return it to an uninjured state?"

“That’s right, that’s exactly it!” Yatogami Tohka nodded like a chick pecking at rice.

"But the effects of the previous life's erosion do not seem to have been eliminated."

Feeling the weakness coursing through her body, Nephren asked, "How far back in time can the Fourth Bullet rewind the body's timeline?"

"I'm not quite sure about that." Tohka Yatogami scratched her head. "Maybe it was a few hours ago? Or maybe a few days ago?"

“Then try using it on me a few more times,” Nephren said. “The corruption in my past life started four days ago. Perhaps this fourth bullet hasn’t reverted my body to the state it was in four days ago.”

"Then I'll try again."

Zafki reappeared behind her.

The fourth bullet was fired in quick succession and entered Nephren's body.

The effects of the three shots and four bullets took hold in her body, and intense pain suddenly flashed through her mind.

The familiar pain reminded her of how she felt just four days ago when the battle had ended.

Seeing this, Yatogami Tohka quickly fired again.

As the last of the fourth bullets was fired, the pain in Nephren's mind vanished instantly.

The feeling of weakness brought on by the erosion of the past life can no longer be felt.

It really works!

Nephren felt the same power flowing through her body as always, and she couldn't help but feel a surge of joy.

The Fourth Bullet can truly eliminate the effects of past life erosion!

In other words, as long as Tohka is still around, the Gold Fairies will no longer need to worry about the corruption from their past lives and can fight with all their might!

This is fantastic news for all the golden fairies.

No, not just for all the golden fairies.

This is fantastic news for anyone experiencing a physical abnormality.

For example, William.

Although we don't know how strong William was in his prime, since he was called a hero and fought the Black Candle Lord to a draw, his fighting power must not be much lower than that of the Earth God.

However, it was during the battle with Black Candle Lord that he was so badly injured that he could not be healed.

He is now able to walk normally, all thanks to his strong physique.

Anyone else, with William's injuries, would have been lying unconscious in a hospital bed long ago.

However, the existence of the fourth bullet can completely solve this problem.
