Spirits.
In this world, they are beings who cause destru at every turn. Just like Honkai, it is kept well-hidden to the normal denizens of this world.
Spirits have an unimaginable power. Some could cause strong tornadoes while others could raze their surroundings to ders.
Drip.
Drip.
Drip.
The downpour of the rain became stronger. In the midst of everything, several thin humanoid robots surrounded a blue-haired girl. Her green hoodie didn’t get wet amidst the rain.
‘Sigh… It’s them again.’
Her aqua-blue pupils sed her surroundings.
Bang-!
Bang-!
Bam-!
Bam-!
The volley of gunfire was blocked by her trustworthy friend. It was akin to a white flying shark.
For a moment, the sounds of gunfire and beams of light filled the air. The girl was extremely passive, only defending herself when necessary. Not once had she attacked her assaints.
Just then—
Hum-!
It wasn’t only the girl. Her assaints also felt the waves in surroundings.
The girl, Yoshino, saw them talk frantically.
“It’s… a person?”
“That’a a Spirit. We use this time to escape!”
A blue sock puppet spoke in her hands.
“No. What if that person needs help..?”
“You have a point.”
The appearance of the new spirit presented himself to their eyes. It was a young boy, perhaps only a few years older than Yoshino. His blue pupils were bright enough for them to notice.
The most noticeable thing was the bloody hole in his chest.
“... Let’s test him out. Kyrie Two to Six, take care of him.”
The moment their captain decred that and, five robots rushed straight to him. A huge pressure pressed upon him caused by the Kyrie’s Realizers. In a way, Realizers allow the manipution of ws of physics within a specific radius, which is known as a “Territory”.
Ierritory, the users of Realizers could perform aothing less like magie of them was the basitrol of gravitational force.
Crack-!
The boy’s feet sunk into the ground. His bright blue pupils looked straight at the six people within the Kyriees.
{Analysis plete. This phenomenon is resulted by artificially interfering with the ws of the world. Simir subjects further expin it: magic, magitrol, aspectual magic…}
‘Tell me. How do I ter it?’
{Ahe magic spell [Anti-magic Area] aplishes simir effects.}
Great Sage expis principles to Aleph. As he learned more about it, his mind was dumbfounded.
‘Isn’t this quite simir the principle of Sphere Boundary? I am the world; the world is I…’
His accelerated thoughts and split minds worked in full force. It didn’t take long for him to fall to a state of realization.
Eighty five timeters… y timeters… y five timeters…
The ce of his Sphere Boundary drastically increased. It only stopped increasing when the radius increased to three meters.
“So that’s it.”
Crack-!
Shatter-!
An invisible thing shattered into nothingness. The area around Aleph was covered in an invisible translut light. I, he could sense everything. That trol exteo removing any unusual phenomena on him.
A vague e was formed between it and the fragmented Sephira Crystal inside him.
Little did he know it was also a teique utilized with cursed energy.
Unfortunately, he hadn’t used the [Training Cards] due to his busy schedule. Right after the MOTH Night, he flew straight to Nagazora.
“Huh?!”
For the first time, the Kyrie pilots entered this thing.
Bam-!
Sou-!
Aleph turned into a blur. He traversed a hundred meters in three seds.
A ratio line appeared in one of the robots. Great Sage saw through its structure and saw its pilot sitting at the ter of its torso.
‘Spirits… I shouldn’t indiscriminately kill without knowing much.’
Finally, the seventh line appeared on the robots’ neck.
Bang-!
Bang-!
Fuzz-!
It was his turn to experiehe volley of light and bullets.
“The Bandersnatch team is about to arrive! Kyrie Three to Five, tinue pressuri!”
However, much to their surprise, Aleph was able to leap more than teers in one jump. His blue eyes glinted as he he robot’s head.
g-!
Psshk-!
His cursed energy-powered fist went straight through the robot’s neck. Its head was separated from the rest of its body. It tilted before it fell to the ground.
Thud-!
A cloud of dust was kicked up. It briefly blocked the pilots’ visions. They proceeded to use their Realizers to ‘see’ without their eyes.
Once again—
“Captain, it’s gone!”
“His visuals are gone!”
g-!
Psshk-!
Another robot ierced on its neck. Just like the prior o also fell to the ground. The more clouds of dust that appeared, the more elusive Aleph’s presence became. He had truly utilized his surroundings to his greatest advantage.
He didn’t have any cover, thus all he had to do was to create one!
“Hum… The unity of man and world. Is this what it’s all about?”
Aleph strode farther from the battle site. All that could be seen was the colpsed robots. Their pilots remained seated ihe cockpit due to their safety protocols.
He was about to get farther when a notification armed him.
[Name: Yoshino Himekawa]
The sound of [Informatioribution] alerted him. It didn’t take long before he found out the girl’s location.
His gaze met with her surprised look.
“Ah… Eh..?”
“Yoshino! Get away! That guy—”
Before Yoshino could react, Aleph was already nearby.
{Analysis pleted. The girl in front was the source behind the strong downfall. Possible sario of her possessing water-based phenomena trol is 68.70%. Possible sario of her possessing ice-based phenomena trol…}
“Huff…”
Aleph was decisive. He came in front of the surprised girl. The blood leaking in his chest became more and more serious.
Hum-!
A rge white shark slowly came out beside her. The temperature of the surroundings fell several degrees upon its appearance.
“ you freeze this..?”
******
That day was the worst thing that could happen to Kurumi.
Her friend “died” right in front of her eyes. It caused her to inverse in one go. The power of Dalet—whiironically didn’t affect Aleph's injuries o—was the ohat saved her from the fate of an ied spirit.
A state that deprived one’s humanity pletely...
That was what an ied spirit was all about.
heless, that portion of Kurumi remained. Instead of being discarded, that “moment” lived with her.
“Ah..?”
At this moment, she was holding an unscious girl by the neck. The sense of establishing a e appeared inside her mind.
‘That day…’
Before Aleph ‘died’, he passed on a part of the mirrors’ power to Kurumi. It was something that suddenly appeared inside his mind. He didn’t hesitate on this decision.
Up to this day, it kept Kurumi ahead of the rest of other spirits, turning into an untrolble variable by her enemy. It was so potent she could escape that person's gaze.
“...Ain?”
She didn’t hesitate to throw the unscious girl inside her shadow. With swift speed, she headed towards Japan once more.
