Chapter 30: A Strong Enemy, Necessary Sacrifice
"Yes, you have no chance of winning. Naoi pointed at the SSS group, and then said to Sakura, "Misaka-san, you seem to have used a clone just now, right?"
The SSS group was startled, and immediately looked at Sakura with half-expectation, half-tangled eyes.
"Yes, but don't expect too much from my clones" Sakura sighed and said, "My clones won't rebel, and they can be lifted on their own initiative, but I'll divide up to six, and the clones can only be divided into two, and then they can't be divided, that is, up to eighteen, and the more points you have, the worse the combat endurance, and most importantly, my doppelgänger will explode and disappear when it is hit, and just now that I'm speaking, my doppelgängers have all disappeared and recovered." Sakura informs here. ”
"Well, the difference between the angels is really great......" Fujimaki muttered.
"Now, there's a group out there, and I'm afraid there's more ahead. Naoi then added.
"Well, there's still one down there. Sakura affirmed. Although there was no horizontal passage for the time being, Sakura still sensed that there were several red-eyed angels on the upper and lower levels.
"So we're locked up now?" Matsushita said solemnly.
"Ammunition can't be replenished either, isn't this waiting to be killed?"
"What is the purpose of doing such a thing?" said Hinata.
"She wants to force us to obey her completely. Yuri guessed.
"What a good fight. Hinata sighed with a bitter face.
"However, my vanishing clones have sent back the message that their Harmonics are not a skill that can be used continuously. That's good news. Sakura said in encouragement. ”
"By the way," Yuri suddenly remembered something important, "I've read her skill profile, and a person can only use Harmonics once at most. ”
"Hmm, and this, then......" Sakura held her chin with her fingers, closed her eyes and thought for a moment, and said, "There was a doppelganger who used Harmonics in front of us just now, which means that if you want to add more, you have to go through the clone that is locked out, and the clone that already has it below can't be divided." Sakura analyzed carefully. ”
"Well, it seems so. Yuri nodded, picked up his gun, and walked to the front of the group, "It's time to move forward, before the doppelganger who can use Harmonics is back below, we must be the first to find the body of the angel and the computer with editing skills!"
"Ari-san, your prestige is very high, no wonder you can lead such a team, even if the combat effectiveness is a little worse. Sakura secretly praised from the bottom of her heart. ”

A red-eyed angel stands at the crossing to block the way.
"Only one word—" After signaling the SSS to guard the area, Sakura and Chloe attacked at the same time............
Ten minutes later-
"This guy is just stalling for time. Chloe stared at the fallen red-eyed angel and said, "Damn, if the causal and curse-based pseudo-treasures can activate the effect......"
In the course of her previous practice, Chloe also tried to project a treasure with special effects, but after projection, she could launch an effect that increased the power of her attack, but she couldn't activate other special effects, such as Ku Chulin's red spear that could launch the "Piercing Death Lance" and "Piercing Death Thorn Spear" but it didn't work, so she shouldn't be strong enough, right?
Just now, this red-eyed angel has been using the three skills of Distortion, Delay, and Wing to deal with Sakura and Chloe, which makes the two fight very hot, in fact, this is also a common tactic they used to fight against strong enemies, and now they finally feel the mood of their enemies. Originally, Sakura tried to use the clone to lock her, but the clone exploded as soon as she hit, which could cause her an attack, but it was difficult to hold her back.
"I'm afraid, they also calculated that the encirclement and suppression failed, and arranged a small number of troops in some other passages so that the main force could return to defense, right? But they don't seem to have the means of long-distance communication, otherwise we should be surrounded. Sakura analyzed carefully. ”
The team stepped up............

Another red-eyed angel stood at the crossing to block the way.
"Damn. ”
But there is no choice but to fight. Sakura and Chloe were about to go up again, but Matsushita patted them on the shoulder and walked to the front of the group.
"Can't ...... anymore Waste of time. Panasonic said.
"Hey, what do you want to do? You can't beat the angels. Yuri's eyes widened.
"You, do you want to ............" Sakura looked at Matsushita seriously, it would naturally be best if she could drag a red-eyed angel with a fighter from the SSS regiment, but what to do?
"Drink!" Panasonic rushed towards the red-eyed angel and took a judo stance.
Sonic Hand Knife (HandSonic)――――
The red-eyed angel raised his short sword and stabbed it at Matsushita's sword, but Matsushita was seriously injured and pressed him to the ground with a buckle technique.
"Panasonic Godan!" shouted the SSS group in grief.
"While I'm still conscious!, solve it with me!" Matsushita shouted tragically.
"I see—"
Thunderbolt Rachel――――
The thunderous hand stabbed into Matsushita's back, through it, and into the heart of the red-eyed angel............
"What, this seems to be a line that is only a good man when he is dying!" Hinata complained.
"Let's go," Yuri said, "we can't let Panasonic 'sacrifice' in vain, this is really the best way to move forward quickly." ”
"In other words, in the face of an angel, 'sacrifice' a person to ensure that the team moves quickly, is that okay?" said Takamatsu, pushing his glasses seemingly wisely.
"Sacrifice...... Is that enough?"
"It doesn't matter, as long as the incident can be resolved, eventually they can all be saved, although some pain is inevitable. Sakura informs here. Sakura sighed and said, "I'm sorry, we don't have enough strength. Sakura said apologetically. ”
"No, no, if you are stronger, we will not have a good time. Hinata smiled wryly and waved her hand.
"Alright, let's speed up. "You said.

“It‘s-my-turn. Get-chance-and-luck.” TK danced and threw the red-eyed angel to the ground, and in an instant, the spiral sword pierced through the two and exploded.
"TK!" shouted the SSS group in pain.

"It's finally time for me to flex my muscles. Takamatsu rushed forward and used his strong arm to knock the red-eyed angel to the ground, and in an instant, a black whip shadow glowing with lightning struck the two severe.
"Takamatsu!" shouted the SSS group in grief.

"Hah, how could I be scared!" Fujimaki rushed forward and threw the red-eyed angel to the ground, and in an instant, several long swords pinned the two to the ground.
"Fujimaki!" shouted the SSS group with grief.
"What? This kind of shonen manga ends up with the same plot!" Hinata complained.
"Don't worry, what you say is not the final reply. Chloe said.
"Chloe, why do you seem to know a lot about comics? Sakura couldn't help but say.
"Aha-" Chloe sells a moe.
The team is still advancing............ (To be continued)
