Chapter 127: Pillar of Flame, Extreme Frost And Apocalyptic Slash
Kurumi's bruises vanished in an instant, her body restoring itself to its previous state. But before she could even catch her breath, she instinctively darted to the side.
A freezing blast tore through the air, striking the spot she had just left. The temperature dropped sharply as a layer of ice instantly engulfed the area, the very air around it crystallizing. Had it connected, Kurumi would have been trapped in a prison of ice, and escaping it would have taken precious time she couldn't afford to lose.
After observing the attack, Kurumi shifted her attention to the attacker and she couldn't help but reveal a smile, though her eyes were still serious.
"Ara ara~, that's dangerous Shido-san." Kurumi said with a playful tone, though her voice carried a hint of fatigue.
Shido floated gently down in front of her while watching Kurumi. Behind him loomed Zadkiel, towering over the buildings like a silent guardian, its immense body casting a long shadow on the ground.
"Give up, Kurumi. You've lost." Shido shook his head and tried to persuade Kurumi. He knew she had already used a significant amount of Reiryoku in her battle with Kotori. She wasn't in any condition to continue.
"Impossible. Not until I've completed my objectives." Kurumi shook her head in rejection. She stared at Shido, now clad in a flowing green robe as delicate snowflakes danced around him. Then her gaze shifted past him, landing on the towering beast behind that had a terrifying appearance.
Kurumi know that it was the source of the attack that nearly hit her.
She then moved her gaze to both her side and saw Tohka, clad in purple armor and equipped by a great white sword ready to attack her anytime. Meanwhile Kotori who was on the other side still looked normal on the outside as she the blazing flame revolve around her. But inside, she was quite tired from the battle earlier and she felt somewhat weird feeling her emotion rising, yet, she ignored it for now since they are nearing the end of the battle.
