Dark blood pumped out of the neck.
Mori Toda shielded Yemi Keiko, looking at his daughter in horror.
"Tsukisa... are you, are you crazy?!"
The long, narrow blade of the dinner knife reflected the girl's icy pupils.
"How boring."
Sen Getsusa curled her lip.
To be honest, the illusion created by this monster was indeed realistic enough—at least at the beginning, Sen Getsusa had been immersed in it, completely falling into this beautiful yet dangerous dream.
Those day-after-day peaceful and warm routines with the adoptive parents she had long yearned for, the bright sunlight, her parents still being alive... and Tojo Aoi... Sen Getsusa sighed.
—But Oshtur's appearance caused the girl to snap awake instantly.
Oshtur... Vishanti, Oshtur, Old God.
Curling her lips, the girl held the dinner knife vertically, pointing it at the two illusions in front of her. Mori Toda retracted his arm that was protecting his wife. Gradually, his face became expressionless, and his mouth opened and closed, making a viscous sound.
"When did you find out?"
Tables and chairs overturned!
Silver light flashed!
Poof!
The blade plunged into the man's glabella.
He wouldn't get an answer.
Yemi Keiko grinned hideously, and a black proboscis erupted from her esophagus and mouth, long black tentacles aiming straight at the girl!
Bang!
Dodge! Turn around!
The girl's hair fluttered, and she seemed to have been frozen in place—
After evading the attack, she adopted an offensive stance.
In Yemi Keiko's line of sight, the girl's figure, brandishing the knife, gradually faded... it was an afterimage!
Pfft!
Crossing several meters, the flashing figure of the girl shot straight forward like a silver lance!
The blade pierced the body!
After several continuous cuts and stabs, under the assault that Sen Getsusa's speed made impossible to track, the monster could no longer fully maintain its human form.
She discarded her lower body, which was replaced by eight sharp, pointed insect legs!
A spider... huh?
The girl tilted her head curiously: "Aren't you supposed to control the mist and insects? Isn't a spider an arthropod?"
"Wrong set, Ms. Spider."
"Ritualist?" The spider's voice sounded extremely strange, like a mixture of Yemi Keiko and Mori Toda layered together, with a bloated, androgynous tone.
"You can't stop us."
"The Father God will eventually return! To breed and multiply upon this land!"
"We are pain..."
The silver dinner knife spun between her nimble fingertips. Before the girl let it finish speaking, she quickly twisted her toes and stomped hard on the ground!
Whoosh!
Her rapid movement made it impossible for the spider monster to hit her.
Countless times, the spider monster had the opportunity to attack the damned girl, but every time, the spider legs only pierced gradually fading afterimages.
An afterimage, how is that possible?!
A Super-Sequence level cannot possess such immense power and physique!
Furthermore, this speed... "Judgment! You are the only Judgment in all of Japan!"
The half-human monster screamed!
Terrified, it began to retreat, and its defensive attacks were gradually disintegrated thread by thread by the exquisite silver blade.
"Judgment?" Sen Getsusa touched the corner of her half-smile with her left hand.
She didn't take this misidentification as a compliment.
—The spark she carried, her Ability, and her mixed yet magnificent bloodline allowed her to surpass any Ritualist in the Source World right from the starting line.
In fact, relying solely on the Perfect Princess Talent, her current physical fitness was enough to look down upon the Judgment level.
"Judgment!"
"We do not wish to be your enemy!"
The spider monster kept retreating, and the blades flashed by the girl formed silver threads, gradually destroying the monster's upper body.
"Lower your humble head! The great Father God is about to descend!"
"I will ask Him to grant you Eternity and Immortality..."
The girl's attacks grew faster and faster!
"Eternity, Immortality?"
"That stuff..."
Sen Getsusa stared coldly at the spider monster: "I was going to have that anyway."
With that said, the blade pointed directly at the spider.
Dust and wind roared, whipping her black hair, and the roar of another Universe echoed in the massive restaurant—it was a World-Destroying Storm, sharp as a blade, obliterating everything in its path!
No one dared to stand before the hurricane.
----
Noguchi Tadashi pressed against the side of the stairs, positioned in front, his muzzle aimed at the corner.
He and Tojo Aoi carefully made their way to the second floor. Strangely, they did not encounter any more insect attacks along the way.
It was as if they had been driven away from the first floor by a tremendous will.
"Be careful."
Tojo Aoi followed behind Noguchi Tadashi.
As they were about to enter the second floor, both of them were extremely cautious—
The first floor already looked like a living hell. The second floor... Creak.
The door to the stairwell was pushed open, and the first thing to enter the second floor was a gun muzzle gleaming with cold light.
Half of Noguchi Tadashi's face was hidden behind the wall as he quietly peered into the second-floor corridor.
Silent.
Strange.
Peering out slightly, the man stepped into the corridor, his eyes scanning the ceiling, walls, and floor.
Tojo Aoi stood back-to-back with the man, her muzzle aimed at the stairwell they had ascended. They monitored their respective positions, one facing forward, one backward.
"Be careful."
Noguchi Tadashi whispered.
The moment he spoke, a black shadow faintly appeared in the thick mist.
The two solemnly raised their guns, nervously aiming at it.
Advancing... advancing... the thick mist dispersed.
It was a giant spider the size of two or three adults!
The terrifying giant monster sent a chill down Tojo Aoi's spine—the massive spider creature was lying on its back, its sharp legs covered in hack marks.
Its body was riddled with countless dense wounds, from which black liquid flowed.
Pooling on the floor.
"It looks like it was attacked by... a sharp weapon?"
Noguchi Tadashi cautiously moved forward, gaining a clearer view of the spider.
How miserable... The giant spider monster, which should have been terrifying, now evoked a feeling of pity.
It looked utterly devastated.
The wounded monster occasionally twitched its sharp legs. One thick foreleg had been severed and lay nearby.
The wounds on its surface were like a mesh, bearing the traces of abuse, as if ravaged by a sandstorm... a terrifying destructive power.
"Someone got here first?"
Tojo Aoi lowered her muzzle.
"Father God..."
A viscous voice suddenly rang out!
The hair on Noguchi Tadashi's entire body stood on end!
He shoved Tojo Aoi aside, then ducked and rolled away!
He braced himself on the ground, stood up, and raised his gun!
After a moment.
The spider remained motionless, continuing to mumble like a dying delirium... "Father God..."
"Save me..."
Seeing this, Noguchi Tadashi breathed a huge sigh of relief.
"It seems a leading Ritualist has done us a great favor."
Tojo Aoi's beautiful eyes flickered. She walked forward fearlessly and spoke to the spider.
"Who was it?"
The woman began to suspect... The blurry figure in her mind gradually became clear.
Unfortunately, the spider monster no longer paid attention to the outside World.
Like a devout fanatic in the human World, it muttered prayers to the God who was about to descend.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
Gunpowder roared, and the insect body burst apart!
Tojo Aoi, having gained nothing, turned away with a disappointed expression, letting her subordinate end the conversation.
