“Wind… Kazama card…” she stammered, uttering the incantation that filled her with extreme shame, “Please, please help me find… that wicked woman with black hair…”
A faint gust of air emerged from the card, not forming a visible wind blade, but instead transforming into several extremely fine, tentacle-like wisps of air that spread outwards along the cracks in the ground.
The sense of distance expanded rapidly with these air currents, passing through deserted streets and over towering geometric buildings.
Just two blocks away on an overpass, the air currents caught a glimpse of a magical source.
Ichiri opened his eyes and pointed in that direction.
"Over there..."
In the shadow of an abandoned high-rise building less than fifty meters from the overpass, Qianyu watched as Yili, like a frightened little mouse, shuffled along the wall, using various roadblocks for cover, and slowly made his way towards the overpass.
That stealth technique is even more professional than a thief's.
Qianyu mentally gave Yili's tactical movements a passing grade, but his mental state of being ready to crouch and defend at any moment was really unbearable to watch.
On the overpass, Homura Akemi stood by the railing, staring at the bustling street below.
At the end of the street, several girls wearing Mitakihara Junior High School uniforms were walking and chatting. The one in the middle had striking short pink hair.
Madoka Kaname
This is Homura Akemi's obsession, and it is also the only anchor point for her to reincarnate countless times in this world filled with despair.
After confirming Madoka's safety, Homura Akemi withdrew her gaze and prepared to use her ability to leave.
Just then, her intuition, honed from years of teetering on the edge of life and death, allowed her to instantly sense an extremely powerful surge of magical energy rapidly approaching.
That magic was completely unfamiliar, belonging neither to any magical girl she knew nor to any witch; it was so pure it was almost violent.
Homura Akemi's eyes instantly darkened, and she turned her head, her gaze sweeping in one direction.
Then, she saw a pink...unidentified creature.
Ichiri stood less than ten meters away from Homura Akemi, their eyes meeting.
The air seemed to freeze at that moment.
Homura Akemi's intuition was screaming alarm bells.
The girl in front of me, dressed in a pink tracksuit, looked frail and could barely stand, yet she exuded an extremely restrained yet immense magical aura.
This magic was unlike any magical girl she knew, and even more bizarre than the large witches she had ever seen.
What made Homura Akemi even more wary was the other party's attitude.
That seemingly flawed and trembling movement, in the eyes of a battle-hardened person like Homura Akemi, was actually an extremely clever disguise and a trap to lure the enemy in.
"Who are you?" Homura Akemi broke the silence first, her voice as cold as ice. "Why are you following me?"
Yili was startled by the cold voice and his shoulders twitched.
"me……"
Is Chapter 251 the same type of magic as mine?
Yili opened her mouth, stammered for a long time, and the line she had rehearsed in her mind, "Please forget everything," turned into gibberish under extreme social anxiety.
"I...I came here to...um...your hair is so black...I came to help you erase some bad memories."
The moment those words left my lips, I wanted to slap myself.
What is she even talking about?!
That sounds like a completely twisted line!
Homura Akemi's pupils contracted slightly.
Deletion? A magical girl with mind control abilities? Or some new type of witch familiar? Memories
No need for further explanation.
In Homura Akemi's logic, any unknown entity that attempts to threaten Madoka or shows obvious hostility must be eliminated immediately.
"Click".
A crisp, metallic mechanical sound rang out.
Homura Akemi suddenly raised her left arm, and the gears on the Time Shield began to turn.
At the same time, she conjured a silver Desert Eagle from thin air with her right hand and aimed it directly at Yili's head.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Three bullets, accompanied by a piercing whistling sound, flew in a triangular formation toward Yili's forehead and chest.
In the shadows not far away, Qianyu frowned slightly, already holding the time card in her hand, ready to forcefully intervene the moment Yili was shot.
Homura Akemi's decisiveness and ruthlessness truly exceeded his expectations; this woman was simply a heartless killing machine.
But the next second, facing the bullet flying in his face, Ichiri's body automatically made a sideways movement.
Three bullets grazed her nose and chest.
You dodged it?!
A look of extreme shock flashed in Homura Akemi's eyes.
This is impossible!
How could the opponent possibly make such a perfect evasive maneuver at such close range, relying solely on muscle reflexes?
And that dodging posture... it was almost as if he had predicted the trajectory of the bullet.
What Homura Akemi didn't know was that in the future era of rampant demons, Ichiri had already honed an instinctive dodging skill through countless brushes with death.
This kind of practical experience is something even Homura Akemi, who has reincarnated countless times, could hardly match, since Homura Akemi relies more on stopping time.
"In that case..."
Homura Akemi gritted her teeth, flipped her wrist, and pulled an M249 machine gun directly from the other dimension of the round shield. The gun spat out flames, and bullets rained down on Yili.
"Da da da da da—!"
Faced with such formidable firepower, Ichiri miraculously avoided all damage.
The bullet struck the concrete ground beside her, scattering large amounts of gravel and sparks, but it didn't even touch a single hem of her clothing.
Homura Akemi's expression changed completely.
If the previous dodge was luck, then this current escape unscathed from a barrage of fire is definitely a testament to skill.
This seemingly weak pink-haired girl is definitely a top-notch expert who is hiding her true strength!
Homura Akemi pressed down on the round shield on her left arm without hesitation.
"Time, stop."
A pale purple halo instantly spread out from Homura Akemi's center.
The flying cement debris remained suspended in mid-air.
The flames spewing from the gun muzzle were frozen into an orange-red ice sculpture.
The voice of the entire world was taken away.
Time stopped.
In the absolutely still, gray world, Homura Akemi took a step, bypassing the bullets hovering in mid-air, and walked to the person in front of her.
Even the most powerful creature will have many weaknesses when time stands still.
Homura Akemi whispered coldly and threw a throwing knife toward Ichiri's head.
If nothing unexpected happens, the moment time resumes its flow, the opponent will be headshot with a throwing knife.
Just as Homura Akemi was about to retreat and cancel the time limit.
In a deathly silent, gray world, Ichiri's eyes suddenly twitched.
Homura Akemi instantly sensed the danger and jumped back a few steps.
Then, in the still world, Ichiri moved his lips and made a sound.
"So that's it, it's time stop? It looks like the same magic as mine..."
How can this be? !
Cold sweat poured down Homura Akemi's back.
Aside from herself, no one has ever been able to remain conscious or even speak while time has stopped!
Ichiri was unaware of Homura Akemi's shock.
She instinctively felt that the surrounding environment had become extremely oppressive, and the feeling of being imprisoned by time reminded her of those extremely terrible combat experiences in the future.
Then, he extended a finger and gently tapped the throwing knife in front of him.
"Disappear...disappear..."
An invisible wave erupted from her fingertips.
"Click".
It sounded like glass shattering right next to Homura Akemi's ears.
The throwing knife, which was already poised to take flight, vanished into thin air the instant it came into contact with the energy fluctuation. It was like a pencil drawing being erased by an eraser; it rapidly faded and disintegrated from the edges, turning into nothingness and disappearing completely into the air within half a second.
Homura Akemi found it hard to believe.
To make physical entities disappear from the level of existence?!
What kind of monster is this?!
Homura Akemi didn't even have time to think about why her opponent was able to break the law of time stillness. She instinctively leaped backward and pressed the round shield, attempting to use her last bit of magic power to launch a wide-range bombardment.
But Ichiri reacted faster than her.
A card phantom emitting a blue light flashed across her palm.
"The Wind!"
A violent hurricane rose from the ground; it was no ordinary wind, but a magical storm with extremely strong tearing and binding power.
Homura Akemi didn't even have a chance to fire a shot before being sent flying by this extremely domineering force.
