"Origami Tobiichi, let's settle this today!"

Chapter 101 Tohka's Folded Paper, Shiori's Resolve

Upon hearing the sound, Origami immediately drew her weapon and looked at the newcomer with a very wary gaze.

Standing atop the highest throne, Tohka, clad in purple armor, appeared before Origami.

"Tobiichi, what happened? Why are there two Spirit Waves over there?"

"Elf Princess, prepare for battle!"

"What did you say? You're all alone? This is too dangerous! I order you to leave immediately!"

"I'm sorry, but I have to decline!"

After Origami finished speaking, she hung up the call and pointed her lightsaber at Tohka, saying:

"Tohka Yatogami, get out of the way!"

"Unless you defeat me, you're not getting past me."

Tohka drew her sword, jumped off the throne, and stood in front of Origami, with the stairs leading to the rooftop behind her.

Origami recalled what Mo Li had once told her; she was now no match for Tohka.

Even so, Origami could not simply leave; Shiori was not just a classmate to her.

So now there's only one choice left: fight!

"This time, no one will interfere with our battle. Mo Li is mine alone."

“I don’t think so. He and I have already made a lifelong commitment to each other.”

"What did you say? How is this possible? It's a lie!"

"I'm not lying, this is a token of our love that he gave me."

Origami took out the hilt of the sword that Mo Li had given her last time from her pocket, hoping to force Tohka to leave through this means.

But Tohka clearly didn't believe this was a token between the two of them, and charged straight at them with the Executioner in hand.

The giant sword was raised high by Tohka and then slashed down fiercely.

A violent explosion rang out, and a huge crater appeared in the ground.

A figure darted out from the crowd and landed on the ground, his body scratched by the rubble and covered in small wounds.

Origami dared not slack off in the slightest; this single attack alone showed that Tohka was much stronger than before.

"Hmph, want to continue? If you back down now, I might spare your life!"

"Cough cough cough, it's nothing, get out of the way!"

"Don't you understand? The gap between us can't be bridged by your piece of junk."

Having spent a long time with Mo Li, Tohka has also gotten into the habit of referring to the display device as scrap metal.

Origami didn't care; she'd heard those kinds of comments many times and wasn't angry about them.

After all, after receiving training from Mo Li, she herself believed that the manifestation device was not as good as spiritual power.

Origami decided to strike first; her goal was to get to the rooftop, not to fight Tohka here.

Despite Origami's frantic attacks, Tohka calmly blocked all the attacks and launched counterattacks from time to time. After a while, Origami appeared somewhat tired.

The effects of the Time-Eclipse Castle still apply, and it doesn't affect Tohka much, since everyone is a spirit.

While origami possesses a realm of freedom, she is still human after all, and ultimately cannot be completely eliminated.

Before long, Tohka discovered the flaw in Origami's attack.

A slash was unleashed, and Origami, unable to dodge in time, had no choice but to activate her Freedom Domain in the hope of blocking the attack.

Fortunately, Tohka didn't use her full strength; her slash only left a ripple on the random field before disappearing.

Before Origami could even catch her breath, Tohka appeared behind her.

"It's over, checkmate!"

Shi Xiang changed her fist into a palm and struck Origami in the back of the neck with a chop, causing Origami to immediately faint to the ground.

After finishing her business, Tohka dragged Origami along to meet up with Moli.

School rooftop.

Shiori slowly pushed open the door leading to the rooftop and stepped inside.

The sky turned a deep red and black, and blue-purple light emanated from the ground. Kurumi stood not far from her.

Seemingly to welcome Shiori's arrival, Kurumi put her hands on her hips and said:

"Welcome, welcome! I've been waiting for you for a long time, Shiori-san!"

"Kurumi, what did you do?"

"Isn't it beautiful, City of Eclipse? This is a time barrier that absorbs those who step on my shadow!"

"Time? Could it be that the reason those students fainted was because..."

Shiori froze, a terrifying thought suddenly occurring to her, her pupils widening instantly.

Kurumi smiled. To confirm Shiori's theory, Kurumi brushed aside the bangs covering her left eye, revealing Zafkiel underneath, and explained:

"This is my time, or you could say my lifespan. My angel does indeed possess wonderful power, but the problem is that it consumes a lot of time every time it is used."

"And those people in the park too..."

"Ugh, they're nothing but a bunch of scum. I find it disgusting that they even exist in my life."

Shiori stared at Zafkiel, whose left eye was constantly moving, and fell into deep thought.

"So, I sometimes make up for time from the outside like this, and Shiori's scent is stronger."

"What did you say!?"

Shiori looked at Kurumi in disbelief, her slightly trembling hands a mixture of anger and lingering fear.

Kurumi didn't feel there was anything wrong with her behavior. She had already absorbed the time of 10,000 people, even though they were all scum of society, but she wouldn't stop doing this.

Kurumi will not give up until she achieves her goal.

Before meeting Mo Li, Kurumi always fought alone, which made her feel exhausted and her heart gradually became numb.

Kurumi only felt a sliver of warmth when that person offered to help her kill the initial spirit.

Although it was to make herself his kin, Kurumi could still sense Mo Li's feelings for her.

Perhaps only a demon king like Mo Li could understand a witch like her.

Therefore, in order to achieve her goals and change that damned fate, Kurumi had no choice but to do this.

"Everyone is my pitiful and adorable food, but except for Mo Li-jun!"

"So, could you please become my time, Shiori, and merge with me? After all, I came here to devour you directly."

Kurumi stared intently at Shiori, as if she were looking at a delicious meal.

Shiori involuntarily took a few steps back, but quickly regained her balance, and said with a firm look in her eyes:

"If the target is me, there's no need to do this!"

"Before I devour you, I'd like you to take back what you said this morning (Wang Wang Hao) about saving me. You have no right to say that!"

In Kurumi's mind, Shiori's arrogant words, despite her lack of ability, were an insult to her.

Furthermore, Kurumi doesn't need anyone to save her, nor does she want to be saved. Even Mo Li only said she would help her. What gives you the right, Itsuka Shiori, to say such a thing?

"Shiori, it's terrifying and hateful of me to do something like this for such a reason. You should understand that I'm not someone you should have mercy on!"

Kurumi smiled and slowly walked towards Shiori, the two facing each other.

"So please take back what you said. In that case, it's not impossible for me to break the barrier."

Shiori slowly closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, her gaze was incredibly firm.

"Release the barrier... But I won't abandon you. I... I will save you, Kurumi!"

Hiding in the corner, Mo Li couldn't help but smile. The show was about to begin.

Chapter 102 Kotori, you're actually Lancer, aren't you?

"Ugh, I'm speechless. Since you're so persistent!"

Seeing that Shiori was still obstinate, Kurumi jumped back to her previous position, raised her arms high, and the sky suddenly changed, with a huge spherical cyclone slowly appearing.

The spacequake alarm sounded instantly, and it occurred at Raizen High School. Kurumi had truly decided to kill.

"You know what that sound means, don't you, Itsuka Shiori!"

"Spacequake alarm, could it be...?"

"That's right. What are you planning to do? If a spacequake happens now, I wonder what will happen to those students who have fainted."

The outcome is obvious: Kurumi is using the lives of thousands of people in the school to force Shiori to submit.

Shiori took a few steps forward. She didn't understand why Kurumi was so sensitive to what she had said that morning, but those were Shiori's heartfelt words, and she wouldn't change them.

If your goal is to eat me, then once I'm dead, triggering a spacequake will be pointless.

Shiori made up her mind and, unusually, smiled at Kurumi, saying loudly:

"Kurumi, you've always made me make the choices. Today, let's switch."

"What do you mean?"

"If my death could save other people's lives, then I would die without hesitation!"

Shiori walked to the railing, intending to threaten Kurumi 663 with her own death to stop what she was doing.

But how could Kurumi be intimidated by Shiori? Besides, she didn't believe Shiori would have such a realization.

"Okay, if you really jump, then I'll stop!"

"That's what you said!"

Shiori smiled slightly, leaned back, and jumped off. The height of the school building was enough to kill her.

During the descent, Shiori did not feel any fear; on the contrary, she felt somewhat excited.

Kurumi didn't expect Shiori to actually jump down. Without thinking, she used Zafkiel to send Shiori back to her original position.

"Are you an idiot, you bastard!"

"You can't stop me. Stop the spatial tremor and dispel the barrier while you're at it!"

Kurumi was threatened by humans for the first time, but there was nothing she could do. If Shiori died, all the days she had spent would have been wasted.

Little did they know, Shiori possessed Kotori's spiritual power, making her virtually immortal; even if she died, she could be resurrected.

Left with no other choice, Kurumi snapped her fingers, dispelling the impending spatial quake and barrier.

Seeing this, Shiori slowly stood up, walked to Kurumi, and extended her hand, saying:

"Kurumi, can you give me a chance to start over (AJFC)?"

"You haven't given up yet? This unrealistic fantasy. You know nothing about my affairs."

"How would I know if you didn't tell me? Maybe you'll come to like an ordinary life. You don't want to live a life of killing and being killed all the time, do you?"

"But, this kind of thing..."

"It's possible, if it were me!"

Shiori shouted loudly, and Kurumi was somewhat hesitant because of Shiori's state, not knowing what to do.

"Your mistakes will take a lifetime to make up for, but Kurumi, no matter how wrong you are, whether you kill ten thousand people or absorb their time, it cannot be a reason for me to give up on you."

"I really……"

Faced with Shiori's outstretched hand, Kurumi hesitated for a long time, her heart wavering.

Kurumi tremblingly reached out her hand to Shiori, and just as she was about to be won over by Shiori, a voice suddenly rang out from the air:

"No, how can you betray Mo Lijun?"

A fair, delicate arm passed through Kurumi's abdomen and then withdrew, blood continuously flowing from the wound.

Kurumi couldn't make a sound and slowly collapsed to the ground, eventually being absorbed into the shadow.
