Kamen Rider Date A Live

The two swords clashed and collided, and a gust of wind burst forth from the point where the swords crossed. The two girls who looked exactly alike, who were wielding the swords, simultaneously withdrew their swords almost instantly after the swords crossed, and then slashed down again!

boom!

As the blades clashed, intense sparks flew from the friction between the silver-white and black blades, demonstrating the immense force exerted by both.

[Damn it... imposter, get down!!!]

Tohka was the first to erupt. Unable to endure the continued confrontation and vaguely sensing that her opponent's power was actually slightly greater than her own, Tohka's excellent combat instincts made her make the most correct choice at that moment.

Without using a sword, when both of them were wielding their swords and pouring all their strength into them, Tohka temporarily reduced the amount of strength she poured into her hands. Just before she was about to be suppressed, she aimed her right foot at the waist of her black clone and kicked it with all her might!

Bang!

The sudden attack caught the clone Tohka off guard. With Tohka's superhuman strength unleashed at full power, the clone was kicked away, leaving a deep shoe print on its abdomen.

[Huff, huff, huff... Ugh! How annoying! It actually mimicked my movements to attack me, and it's even a little stronger than me. This is a bit of a disadvantage... Ugh! Whatever! I'll just do what Shido said before and fight in my own style!]

[While it's not as complex and intricate as Kotori and the others' special attacks... just as Shido said, don't be misled by your opponent's attack methods; a straightforward approach is the best for me!]

Tohka's words were filled with self-confidence, as if she were reminding herself. At the same time, she adjusted her breathing, physical condition, and movements, elevating herself to her most perfect state. Then, she made a drawing motion, raising the sword high in front of her and unleashing her spiritual power!

boom!

Purple spiritual energy flowed into the Aosha Gong sword through Tohka's hand gestures, and then gushed out from the sword, dyeing the entire Aosha Gong purple!

Immediately afterwards, a faint purple hue appeared in Tohka's eyes, just like in Kotori's, and a faint purple light also emanated from Tohka's entire body.

【ah----】

As Tohka roused herself with her shout, the purple aura that had been wrapped around her intensified, and in the blink of an eye, Tohka looked like a purple humanoid figure.

【----ha!!】

With this shout, the purple spiritual light on Tohka's body and in her eyes burst forth instantly, as if it were about to explode. However, in the next second, it returned to Tohka's body and eyes, enhancing her dynamic vision and physical abilities!

After making these preparations, Tohka, who was flying in the air, kicked off the sky, causing a violent ripple and even a loud bang. Tohka herself, like an arrow released from a bow, transformed into a purple lightning bolt, raised her greatsword and slashed at the clone Tohka who had noticed her approach and was also swinging her sword!

boom!

The two swords clashed again, but this time, the clash did not last long, and not even a spark was ignited. The copy of the Ao Sha Gong only managed to hold out for a short while before being cut off by the Ao Sha Gong, which was enveloped in purple light!

Clang!

Having just severed the sword from the slain King, Tohka didn't pause, quickly swinging her sword upwards again!

boom!

The copy of the sword, missing half its blade, was decisively discarded by the copy of Tohka to block this upward slash. At the same time, the copy of Tohka used the force of this upward slash to propel herself into the air. However, at the same time, a ball of black mud in the copy of Tohka's right hand began to shrink and grow rapidly. In no time, a pitch-black greatsword with black energy rising from its blade reappeared in the copy of Tohka's hand.

The plan for Copy Tohka is to take advantage of the moment when she is knocked away to copy her current state again. In fact, the state of the Fiend King has already been copied. As long as Copy Tohka is given a little more time, Copy Tohka will rise to another level in strength, just like Tohka.

But will Tohka give away the opportunity to copy Tohka? The answer is definitely no.

[Tohka, you're strong. While you may lack the sophisticated techniques others use to compensate for weaknesses in attack power or other areas, your formidable strength and unimaginable fighting spirit more than make up for it. In battle, as long as you don't give your enemy a chance to breathe, unleash a relentless, raging onslaught, and Tohka will utterly defeat them!]

As the clone Tohka ascended into the sky using Tohka's upward attack, Tohka recalled Shido's words to her. Her slightly paused movements abruptly changed. She raised the sword with one hand, then gripped the hilt with the other. Her gaze fell upon the clone Tohka that had materialized above her. A dense ball of purple spiritual energy appeared in Tohka's hands, flowing through both hands to the hilt and finally to the blade. This caused the already purple-glowing blade of the clone Tohka to transform completely from silver to purple!

【Wa ...

With Tohka's roar, she swung her sword at the location of the clone Tohka. The purple light attached to the sword was thrown out and transformed into a crescent-shaped purple blade four or five meters long, rushing towards the clone Tohka!

Having suffered from Tohka's sudden attack, the clone Tohka was already prepared to counterattack at any moment. As expected, a huge purple crescent-shaped energy slashed towards her! The clone Tohka could feel that if she took this attack without any preparation, many parts of her body would be destroyed!

"Ooooooooooooooooooo!!!"

With a roar, the clone Tohka's clone, the Slaughtering Lord, unleashed an ominous black aura. Then, with a swing of the clone Tohka, the black aura transformed into a black crescent moon roughly the same size as the purple crescent moon, clashing against it!

boom!

The two crescent-shaped energies collided and exploded the instant they hit each other, scattering smoke and making it difficult for the cloned Tohka to see the scene in front of her clearly—but conversely, the same thing happened to Tohka.

So at this moment, the Copy Killer in Tohka's hand began to gather another layer of dark magic, preparing to fire another shot at the bottom—but would Tohka really just stand there blankly?

【Ughh ...

As the clone Tohka gathered her magic power, accompanied by a loud roar, a purple figure instantly burst through the smoke, raised the greatsword radiating purple light in its hand, and slashed at the clone Tohka's clone, Aosha-gong!

Clang!

After being resisted for a while, the purple-energy-infused Aosha Gong severed the clone Aosha Gong!

"!!"

As the copied Tohka was struck, she snapped out of her daze at Tohka's sudden appearance and immediately began to retreat. There was a reason for her momentary hesitation; to reach her in the instant following the explosion, Tohka would have had to rush into the smoke at the same moment. The explosive force of the clash between the two crescent-shaped energies was too great for even a copied Tohka to withstand—enough to blast her into pieces. While she wouldn't die, recovery would take a considerable amount of time.

Even the clone Tohka wasn't confident she could withstand the explosion unscathed, yet Tohka passed right through it almost without a scratch. Completely unprepared, the clone Tohka retreated to dodge immediately, but…

It's too late to get out of there now!

Although it's impossible to tell Tohka's current condition because of her swift movements, if she were still, it would be noticeable that her armor has cracks and several parts are missing. Surprisingly, there aren't many injuries on her body, indicating that Tohka has protected herself very well.

While Tohka used her boundless spiritual power to create a spiritual barrier that defended against most of the explosion's power, Kaku used his body-shaping technique to concentrate most of the explosion's power onto his armor, protecting his body. After breaking through the smoke of the explosion, he severed the copy of Tohka and made a confident declaration to the copy. Then, he gripped the sword with one hand and gently stroked the blade with the other. Suddenly, something changed, and something bulged out!

If the purple light waves on the original sword were simply attached to the sword steadily, after Tohka gently stroked the sword, the purple light waves began to stir!

The purple light waves, which were originally as calm as a still lake, suddenly began to rise violently from the sword like a raging fire. Without even looking, one could feel the terrifying energy rising from the sword!

[I'll use this trick to take you down!]

boom!

With a powerful stomp on the sky, Tohka launched an attack like a bolt of purple lightning, instantly rushing to the clone Tohka and unleashing a wide, sweeping diagonal slash!

tear!

The clone of Tohka's body was easily cleaved in two from the left shoulder by a single strike, amplified by the raging energy attack of the Fiend King!

【Oh my gosh!!!】

After making the first cut, using the force of the previous strike, Tohka began to spin, using the sword to propel her body and begin irregular slashes!

cut!

cut!

cut!

With each strike, the purple light waves on the Sword of Slaughter gradually diminished, and the clone Tohka was also split into several pieces. After nearly ten consecutive strikes, when the purple light waves were almost exhausted, Tohka pushed off with her feet, stopping the spinning strikes. Finally, using the immense power amplified by the spin, she slashed at the clone Tohka, using the last bit of purple energy on the Sword of Slaughter as a detonator to trigger the purple energy released from the previous strikes, thus ending this attack!

[Ultimate Move—]

[Purple Blade Storm!!!]

Rumble, rumble, rumble!

As Tohka shouted out the name of her move, the final slash came down, and a storm of purple crescent-shaped sword blades continuously emerged from the point where the copy Tohka slashed, slicing the copy Tohka's body into pieces!

At the same time, Tohka quickly retreated, a powerful retreat that sent her flying back more than thirty meters in an instant.

Perhaps the battle could be considered over at this moment, but Tohka understood just how powerful the regenerative abilities of the clone Tohka, or rather, the evil of this world, were, and the existence of its core. Just to be on the safe side, Tohka raised the sword, Aosha Gong, which she had just fought, once more. As if understanding Tohka's intentions, purple energy lightning crackled from the blade and tip of Aosha Gong. Then, Tohka thrust Aosha Gong downwards towards herself!

As if in response to Tohka's action, purple flames suddenly ignited in the sky and beneath Tohka's feet. A throne made of stone suddenly appeared in front of Tohka, and without hesitation, Tohka aimed at the throne and cleaved it down with her sword!

【Sandalphon was utterly annihilated!】

Crackling sounds!

The throne that was struck by the Aosha Gong made a sound like building blocks breaking, turning into a pile of fragments, which then began to assemble onto the Aosha Gong, forming a greatsword over ten meters long, with gold and black as its main colors!

【—The Last Sword (halvanhelev)!!】

Let this be the end...

As Tohka spoke, purplish-black arcs of electricity flowed continuously from the blade of the Last Sword, while red patterns began to appear on the black blade. Then, Tohka raised the Last Sword high, aimed it at the area where the clone Tohka was sitting, and swung the sword down!

boom----!!!

A torrent of purple light erupted from the Last Sword, completely destroying the area where the clone Tohka was located!

Both the black mud and the core vanished completely under the torrent of purple light!

[Hmm... Now, even that thing won't be left behind, hehe! Complete victory! I'll get Shido to praise me later! Hmm!]

With a happy smile on her face, Tohka was preparing to head back when, before she returned, she glanced out of the corner of her eye in another direction and saw a familiar white figure running towards a place with two spiritual energy fluctuations.

—Tohka's results: The enemy's core was completely annihilated. Apart from some damage to her spirit armor, she was basically unharmed. She can be considered the only spirit to have achieved a complete victory so far. (Voice of Heaven: As expected of the heroine!)

Chapter 264: Nightmares and Songstresses Performed on the Battlefield

[Origami Tobiichi... Is she going somewhere to help out? Speaking of which, there are indeed two fluctuations of spiritual energy in that direction, although the distance is too great to clearly sense who is behind them.]

Seeing that Origami only noticed her gaze, glanced back at her, and continued flying away, Tohka didn't mind Origami's indifference and neglect, since their relationship was usually like this. She was just a little curious about who needed Origami's help.

Although the spiritual energy of each spirit is different, Tohka and the others, who have spent a long time together, can clearly recognize the aura of a familiar person. However, this time, due to the vastness of the battlefield, almost every girl's battlefield is separated from the battlefield of another girl by a great distance. Therefore, the distance between the two sides is too great, and even the girls who are familiar with the spiritual energy aura of everyone around them cannot clearly tell which comrade is fighting in the distance.

The advantage of this approach is that the girls' battle traces won't affect their opponents. Otherwise, in situations like when Yuzuru, Yuzuru, and Kotori launched large-scale attacks, the other girls would have been completely outmatched and would have had to struggle to protect themselves. However, this approach isn't without its downsides, namely, it hinders communication and information flow. Although this isn't as noticeable due to the presence of the agitω intermediary, it's not entirely insignificant.

As Tohka watched Origami walk away, wondering whether she should go and help, a communication message suddenly came through in her mind.

"Tohka. Can you hear me? Your mental fluctuations are starting to subside... The battle is over, right?"

The communication from the original substance agitω suddenly entered Tohka's mind, causing Tohka to be slightly startled. However, she quickly regained her senses and responded to the original substance agitω with full energy.

[Shido!? Ah, that's right! The battle just ended! My clone has been destroyed, and the core didn't escape! It's all thanks to what Shido taught me!]

Upon hearing Tohka's words, Agitω, who was fighting his enemy, couldn't help but smile with a hint of helplessness and corrected Tohka's words.

"Hehe... While that's not entirely wrong, that's not how I teach you. Anyway, now's not the time to talk about that. Tohka, there's something I need to ask you..."

——————This is the dividing line back to the battle between Kurumi and Miku——————

The battle between Miku and Kurumi is currently at its climax. It's inspiring, and under Miku's will, Kurumi and the others' power is indeed increasing, but the effect is not significant.

Kurumi, who mainly fought against clones of Kurumi and Miku, gained a clearer understanding of this during the battle.

Admittedly, they have a numerical advantage and a power boost, which seems advantageous no matter how you look at it. But don't forget... neither Kurumi nor Miku are power-based characters.

Increased strength is certainly a good thing. However, this is only most effective for people like Tohka and Kotori who fight using their weapons. Kurumi's Angel is equipped with two muskets, and its power does not change with the increase in strength. It can be said that Miku's song at most increases the physical abilities of Kurumi and her friends by a lot, but the attack power does not increase much.

Although a barrage of bullets from a large group of Kurumi characters can almost instantly kill any enemy, it is most difficult to deal with enemies with immortality—because Kurumi does not have a powerful move that can decisively eliminate the opponent, even if she uses Zafkiel.

Kurumi, realizing this, understood that continuing like this would only be a waste of her clones. She ordered her clones to move away from the copy and unleash their full power before flying to Miku's side.

[Let's change strategy, Miku. Stop boosting our power for now. It's not very effective for us, since our primary attack is bullets, which have limited power. Against an immortal enemy like this, lacking a decisive weapon only increases casualties. So, Miku, stop boosting your power and join the fight!]

Upon hearing Kurumi's words, Miku temporarily stopped playing and turned her attention to the battlefield. After observing for a moment, she discovered that, just as Kurumi had said, although her side currently held the advantage, the two clones' bodies would automatically regenerate after a short while once the wounds inflicted by their attacks were healed.
