Chapter 43: This Magic Name is Fake, Right?

  "Surrender! I surrender! I'm just a passerby who happened to be here and was merely helping that guy lying over there, the corpse-collecting bystander A!"

  After dodging the attack of Kaminari Denki, he got up from the ground with his hands and feet, and loudly explained to Kaminari Denki; a saintess with that kind of magic name shouldn't attack an ordinary passerby who just happened to enter, right?

  "Are there any other accomplices? Let's settle this together then!" Godou Kusanagi didn't pay attention to Takeru Totsuka's declaration of surrender; what a joke, if just anyone could barge into the "Expulsion of Idle People" spell range and still easily dodge his own "Seven Flashes", wouldn't that mean he was an idiot in both magic and combat?

  As soon as the sound of Shinryu Kurenai's words fell, he used the action of drawing his sword to cover up, and with his other hand, he increased the number of steel wires that were actually attacking from one to several, tracing out different trajectories in the air and simultaneously pulling them towards Keiichi.

  Can I say that actually, I and the guy who's still not dead on the other side aren't in cahoots? Faced with this kind of situation, even explaining is useless, so let's just start fighting. Hopefully, I won't die too miserably in this state.

  Kaito Kuroba made a helpless decision based on the current situation, but fortunately, he already knew the intelligence of his opponent, so he didn't need to waste time probing. Kaito faced the rapidly approaching steel wire without dodging or avoiding it and instead accelerated the heavy particles at the source of the steel wire. Although he had mysteriously increased his physical compatibility and his abilities had improved once again, he was still unable to perform quantum acceleration on an object moving at high speed, which was a highly difficult action.

  Similarly, it's always easier to shoot a fixed target with a sniper rifle than a moving one. Even if we assume that the initial arrow's ability has reached the point where it can change speed in high-speed movement, he won't do such a wasteful thing at this time. The principle is again illustrated by the difference between shooting a fixed target and a moving target with a sniper rifle. Shooting a moving target always requires many times more effort than shooting a fixed target. In an unknown battle duration, recklessly wasting one's own energy is extremely foolish behavior. So why use a more wasteful method when you can respond in a more energy-efficient way?

  Kamui no Kotowari was indeed a battle-experienced Saint, for the heavy particles in her steel threads had just been accelerated to an almost explosive state by Kaidou's initial arrow when she reacted with a combat intuition so strong it was terrifying, subconsciously throwing away the steel threads in her hand.

  Those wires had barely left her hands when they let out a short, muffled roar. Although the explosion wasn't very powerful due to the small volume of the wires and the low level of control over the unfamiliar sequence of heavy particles (electrons and atomic nuclei), an explosion of this degree would be enough to render one of Godou's hands completely useless if it were to occur directly in her hand.

  "Hmm, the various bizarre abilities in this school city are really a headache... This inexplicable attack that comes from who-knows-where can hurt someone if they're not careful... It seems I'll have to take the next fight more seriously. Before the second round begins, let me introduce my magic name: Salvere000." Godou Kusanagi said, slowly drawing out his long sword 'Seven Days and Seven Nights', the metal blade and scabbard making a scraping sound as if indicating that once the sword is fully unsheathed, an even more intense attack will begin.

  "No, if possible, I'd rather you never told me your magical name..." Kaito Minagi was a bit desperate. The reason why the sword he used had an unknown magic spell engraved on it, when Kaito Minagi used his ability with that sword, he found that his ability was interfered by a strange power and couldn't even make the quantum of the sword disappear like steel wool.

  "Watch out, I'm coming!"

  Kirisaki Fuuin ignored Kaito Minagi's words and charged at him after fully drawing out his sword; in the world of magic, declaring one's own magical name to an opponent means that a fierce battle is about to erupt, with the outcome being one of the two falling.

  Fortunately, Kaito's initial slash couldn't change the trajectory of Kirito's Quantum-level slash, but at least he could sense the quantum-level object's rapid slashing path, which was clearly different from the arrangement of air particles. After making a prediction, Kaito barely had time to dodge to one side, and Kirito's sword sliced through the ground with a whistling sound, grazing his body.

  Seeing the deep gash carved into the cement floor, Ji Lu's back was instantly drenched in cold sweat; if that previous slash had hit its mark, even if his true body was a resilient Tentacle Monster, it would have been an instant kill. This isn't scientific, is it? The female saint's actions don't seem to convey any sense of 'offering a helping hand to those beyond salvation'. Uncle Hippopotamus, did you mess up her magical name when setting up the character?

  How long will this stalemate continue, as Kaito's slash is blocked by Akatsuki's sword and he swings it horizontally again. Kaito ducks down to avoid the slash and takes advantage of the opening to punch Akatsuki in the stomach.

  If a flesh saint like her can be defeated by an initial arrow from a mere body cultivator, then the so-called strongest saint in the world of magic is nothing but a joke. Faced with this close-range attack, God Splitting Fire Weaving, who wields an ultra-long command knife and has an inflexible attacking style, indeed finds it difficult to cope, but that's only when she hasn't burst into her 'Son of God' state.

  Only to see, Kaito no longer uses her small opening to attack her abdomen when God Split Fire Weave suddenly bursts into the 'Saint' state, toeing the ground, and at a speed that is invisible to the naked eye, retreating a short distance to the side rear, then drawing back the empty command knife on Kaito's body from top left to bottom right, pulling out an ultra-long wound.

  He threw a punch at the residual shadow left by Kiriha, but when he felt something was off and wanted to pull back, it was too late. All he heard was a tearing sound, his body ached, his vision went black, and he fainted.

  "I'm really sorry, for that child's sake, I can only do it this way..."

  Looking at the fallen Jiro Tayu, Akane Tsunemori's expression fell as she put away her Dominator and lifted him up; on the other side, the red-haired Enforcer also carried the unconscious Satoru Toma over his shoulder to meet up with her.

  "Although I said that at the beginning, in the end I still showed mercy during the fight. Kamisama, you're still as soft-hearted as ever." The red-haired magician watched the entire scene unfold from start to finish beside her, and after partnering with the Saint for so long, how could he not be clear about her true strength? When fighting Touma it was just a game, and when fighting Hyo no Kai she got slightly serious, but that was only slightly serious.
