Who would have thought the first one would something so fatal He could not even struggle and his face stiffened His groans tasted of rusty iron
Lucia had been slowed down by the sudden turn of events but he kicked through the window and into the classroom
I’ll kill you
He attacked with his voice trembling with an intense rage one would never have imagined he was capable of
Black Cat had likely known he was on the clock tower The corners of her mouth bent in a grin and she pulled the claw from the boy’s stomach but the demon had already arrived right in front of her She swayed back from the blow with frightening reaction speed
However it was impossible for a human to match a demon A moment later a slash arrived from an impossible angle
Red metal had grown from the blackboard behind her It wrapped around her neck and tightened in the form of a scythe
Black Cut quickly used her steel claws as a shield to escape decapitation but she was still slammed into the blackboard The scythe continued approaching so she was unable to move
After dealing with his opponent in an instant the boy lost interest and ran over to Mutsuki
Yeah I can deal with a wound like this right away
He must have really been worried He was usually full of emotion but all he did was give a simple statement and open Mutsuki’s uniform
There would not have been much damage to the organs so he breathed a sigh of relief and placed a hand over the hole
His hand immediately melted like a sugar sculpture in water and it fused with Mutsuki’s stomach
The bleeding stopped He pressed deeper reached the boy’s back and filled that hole as well
Just as FeTUS had trouble with demons demons were nearly almighty when it came to the human body He used his hand to supplement Mutsuki’s flesh and blood
Black Cat of course knew he could do this
Heh heh heh
She smiled thinly with the tip of the scythe digging into her throat
The power of demons is the miracle of the Fruit of Life It sounds lovely doesn’t it I always have to wonder how many lives you could save if you used that power to serve the world of man
Keep your dirty mouth shut I’ll kill you once I’m done so sit tight
At the same time Satowa Lucia you were my biggest fear these past two weeks I hate to admit it but I have yet to find a simulation where I defeat you
She kicked at the wall behind her The blackboard bent creating a gap between the scythe and wall She used that to escape
Lucia did not even look back Even with a hand dealing with Mutsuki he was confident he could
kill the woman with his other hand if she approached
What is this
But more importantly something about Mutsuki required his attention
Something was not right The boy was unconscious but he was too calm He did not react in pain when Lucia touched the wound Even his breathing was perfectly calm
Lucia’s eyebrows twitched from a sense of foreboding and then his face paled
You What did you do
The skin of the arm on the wound tore like paper and blood spirted out Mutsuki’s stomach was the same The skin was falling apart as if it were melting
That’s a neuro-contamination program based on cobra venom Once it spreads to his entire body he will die
Dammit
The skin necrosis was visibly spreading One hand was not going to be enough so he also placed his other hand on the boy Both arms sank down and the necrosis finally stopped spreading
But that was suicidal He had sealed off use of both hands in front of the enemy and he was being quickly worn down as he induced regeneration quickly enough to fight the toxin Sweat poured from his entire body Heh heh Ha ha ha Ka ha ha ha ha ha ha ha The trick was getting that inside him That was why I drew Jiyuuni away from him If she had been here she could have bought enough time for you to show up Black Cut could not suppress her laughter and her vertical-pupil eyes opened as wide as possible
But it’s over now Once you’re suppressed I have nothing to fear I can-
The door opposite the previous window was opened and a new intruder cut her off
This time it was FeTUS Witches Miss E She was Black Cat’s colleague so Lucia grimaced
But Machina understood the situation so she ran over to Mutsuki and looked down at the stomach fused with Lucia’s arms
A chain-reaction ion channel interference program Miss C Use of this on humans was banned as inhumane
It was necessary as a countermeasure against a demon
Tell me the cancelation key The burden on his mind and body is immeasurable This could harm the progress of our plans
The program does not rearrange his DNAIt must hurt like a bitch though
Black Cat laughed sadistically in her throat
He would not die but he would constantly experience the pain of his organs melting away A normal mind could never endure that He had only lost consciousness for the time being due to the demon’s healing but that would not last forever Machina’s expression was cloudy for once She quietly muttered I’m sorry looked to Lucia and wordlessly confirmed something
Then she turned a sharp look in Black Cat’s direction
Tell me the cancelation key
I don’t think so
I Don’t Think So
Silence fell
Next a golden circle raced out from Machina’s feet and Black Cat laughed in her throat
After that the school building’s roof was blown away with a deafening roar
Keh heh heh Kee hee hee hee hee hee Let me be honest Miss E
It was 5 30 PM at fifty meters above the school building which was lit by the red setting sun of midsummer Two figures faced each other from high enough to look down at the clock tower
I planned for this as well I’d wanted to do this with you for a long long time Not just a simulation I wanted to throw my full strength your wayy Zaahh
Machina turned her body around to sidestep Black Cat’s claws but the following headbutt struck her head and knocked her away
She slammed into the clock tower and then fell onto the spherical planetarium roof below it
Black Cat landed on the 12 of the large clock face She was curled up just like a kitten that loved climbing trees
Nyahaahh
Where’s Miss D Call her here I want to do it with her too I’m even up for both of you at once
She unsteadily rose to her feet
Let me enjoy this even more
Then she jumped forward as if she wanted to be a target She spread her arms wide and fell toward defenseless Machina
The girl looked quietly up and dodged by leaping back up to the clock tower The cat flipped around in midair to bend the direction of her fall
There are still quite a few people in the school A battle would violate our obligation to secrecy
That would negatively affect your inquiry so you should avoid it
Enough nonsense
They both dropped down from the tower into the courtyard
Tell me the cancelation key Do it now and I will not report this
By this point I’m sure Miss A is already watching
Machina tried to keep some distance between them but Black Cat recklessly charged straight in
Their speeds were the same but Black Cat’s lack of hesitation allowed her to win out The girl avoided the sharp cat claws by a hair’s breadth and continued trying to persuade her opponent
Then I will recommend she keep quiet about this incident Tell me the cancelation key
Why are you so insistent on the key We can secure Fujita Mutsuki for ourselves like this You can spend as much time with him as you want underground What do you gain by removing the toxin
Machina fell silent and Black Cat grabbed her
She grabbed the girl’s collar and kept her forward momentum going
Be honest Why do you really want the cancelation key
Her slender body slammed against the stone wall with enough force to shake the entire tower
Her expression bent a little from the shock and she bit her lower lip as if hesitating to speak
