Subaru arrived quite late The enemy targeting Mutsuki seemed to have left so she worked with Ren to settle the situation here
Kurikara are you hur-ah
Since he was not hurt the boy ran over to his friend who had been shot at
She had avoided being hit by the bullets but she must have been hit by a few fragments sent flying in the attack Her white clothing was covered in dust and had a few small red stains
Saya had tears in her eyes from the pain and the shock of the abnormal situation
Mutsuki was somewhat used to these things so he called out to her to calm her down
Machina stood behind him while entirely expressionless
She stared at injured and frightened Saya
Almost like she was trying to suppress some kind of intense emotion welling up within her
It was not another helicopter waiting 500m up in the sky
It was a transport plane It was a proper aircraft with no propellers It could not hover in place so it had a masked pilot keeping it in a slow rotation
Tch Get us out of here Hurry
Understood
The plane flew off as soon as the masked girl arrived and climbed inside
Lucia and Ange pursued with all the speed they could muster but while the insect wings allowed them to ascend rapidly their top speed was limited The enemy’s transport plane could move at 400km/h and they could not keep up if it used even half of that This isn’t going to workSorry Satowa
Ange kicked off of Lucia’s shoulders
I really do feel bad about this
Dwah
Metatron’s flames burst from her shoulders
Metatron used physical flames so she could use it as a rocket engine that launched her small body weight forward at Mach speed
Although that surrounded her with an explosive blast so she had been afraid it would half-destroy the school if she used it in the schoolyard But now that she was this high up she would only do damage to a single demon boy Ange caught up to the transport plane without even glancing back at Lucia who was fried and fell from the sky
She kicked through the door the masked girl had jumped through and she climbed inside
Hi
The bizarre sword immediately grazed her throat
She avoided the tip with shocking reflexes and squeezed the wing pendant that was already in her hand
It grew into a large sword that deflected the enemy’s weapon
There was nothing inside the transport plane except for 12 black cylindrical objects standing in the back so they had plenty of room to fight
That was perfect for Ange who was confident she could win any fight
She split the sword in two spun around and sliced at the masked girl waiting for her there
Prominence was a heavy sword but the enemy easily blocked it and made a counterattack
That was not possible with human strength And based on the horrific weapon she used
A demonYou’re one of those rumored Bioroids aren’t you
The human organization known as Kurosaki had developed the Bio Springloaded a new variety of Springloaded that incorporated demons into their design
Micha had mentioned that one had shown up that had grown to the level of a greater demon that possesses human-level intelligence
So it made sense this girl could match an angel’s strength like this
The floor suddenly tilted Ange quickly worked to regain her balance but she could not keep up the attack and had to move back
The airplane was rapidly descending She had forgotten that the ground they fought on was the loyal servant of this demon
The enemy was both a demon and a human who could freely control machines
That was a Bioroid
Tchwhat a pain
Whoever this enemy was the situation was not in Ange’s favor
The plane rapidly descended and ascended She was naturally tossed around by the unstable footing and the rising and falling gravity As long as the enemy had control of this place fighting here was too reckless That said
Perfect I had wanted to test this out but I didn’t want to use it on Ibekusa
She had plenty of options
Metatron’s golden glow filled her blue eyes
Let’s see how useful this is in practiceHelio
Golden jet streams burst from her back and then formed particles
Those balls of light exceeded a million degrees and they all flew toward the masked girl Mere contact was enough to vaporize her flesh and they filled her body with holes
A human would have been killed instantlybut she only flinched back a bit and did not seem to take much actual damage
She really was a demon Ange prepared to continue the fight The girl’s body began filling in the holes and regenerating the scorch marks as if that were
perfectly normal
But the mask could not be regenerated The fact that it melted and dripped away was enough to decide the battle
Ange found the girl’s face was the same as hers She also realized the red hair was the same as hers albeit cut to shoulder length
Kwah Waahh
The girl released a golden thread in that moment of hesitation and it wrapped around Ange’s arm Electricity immediately passed through it and filled her with an angel’s greatest weakness a heat-radiating current But that pain was not the worst part
Mme
Nee hee hee hee hee I had heard we looked a lot alike but it look like that’s true
I’m cuter though
The girl’s smile contained a mixture of playfulness and toxicity not found in Jiyuuni Ange She was Kagari Enju
The structure of angels and demons could be seen as two sides of the same coin
An angel was born from a dead human’s soul (ie the Fruit of Knowledge) and a demon was born when the Fruit of Life resided within an empty shell of a body
That meant it was theoretically possible for a single human’s soul to become an angel and body to become a demon
It was possible but the odds of both being reincarnated were so low that it was astronomically unlikely Unless the process had received some outside help that is
That aside it was impossible not to be shaken when what you used to be suddenly appeared before you The thread was tangled around Ange’s hand before she could even struggle
(Wahgh Oh no I need to focusaah )
Angels were weak against heat reduction so she was neutralized before she could even tremble in fear Once she had challenged an enemy to combat she had known that even an instantaneous opening would cost her her life Hee hee We just met but I guess it’s goodbye already The world only needs one of us
Enju mercilessly aimed her sword at the girl who could only writhe from the electricity
With both her hands restrained now the angel had no way of dodging it
So the sudden intruder saved her life no matter how much she hated that fact
Uuh I’m glad this thing descended so much Oh So she was your pair
Lucia had kicked through the opposite door from Ange and jumped inside He must have caught on earlier because he was not shocked to see two identical faces wielding deadly blades against each other His burns had already healed and his insect wings had been replaced with large wings that were probably based on a bird of prey Those wings provided decent speed while gliding so he had easily caught up with the airplane as it wildly descended Oh dear Your friend showed up
The airplane had descended too far so it began to rise once more to stabilize its altitude Meanwhile Enju aimed the tip of her sword at him Ange was already neutralized so she ignored the angel and made sure she did not show an opening to Lucia
She’s no friend of mine Why not go ahead and finish her off
Why wait Just go ahead and do it
Lucia shrugged and it was impossible to tell if he was joking or not
But after waiting for the plane to return above 500m he snapped his fingers
When had he gathered this Blobs of black water vapor burst in through the broken doors
You must be crazy to challenge a demon to a fight here
Kwaah
All of the cumulus clouds at this altitude had been turned to Succubi and sent inside the plane
A greater demon like Lucia could bring all water within eyesight to his aid – and water vapor was no exception The cargo bay was quickly filled with black vapor
