"There are only a few people left who can be called 'little ghosts' below!"

Bang!!! ――

Hit directly from the side by the wide blade, Shirley instantly flew out sideways and slammed into the surrounding buildings.

"Unfortunately, you're not on that list."

Putting the big sword back on his shoulder, Zax said coldly.

At this moment, as if he had just realized what he had to do, the gargoyle, who had not reacted at all, howled and pounced on Zax.

Stick the big sword in place with your backhand, and then,

Zax didn't flinch at all and slammed into the huge gargoyle head-on!

Instinctively sensing the threat, the gargoyle swung tons of fists at him.

If the tonnage fist can hit head-on, it will deal damage to the target, with a percentage of the armor value and reduce the target's attack speed, and then it can be used to deal tons of damage with QWR and Peace A

The high-speed, magically blessed gargoyle, which is indistinguishable to the naked eye at all, can make such a precise and deadly move even in a rush.

However, Zax dodged the attack!

He just lowered his head slightly, and then, he rushed straight into the gargoyle's arms, slamming his shoulders into the massive gargoyle.

A completely unexpected move.

This seemingly suicidal act did not hurt Zax in the slightest, but instead showed some cracks in the gargoyle's body.

As if aroused by ferocity, the gargoyle also gave up his fist and began to collide with Zax at high speed!

Bang! - Bang! - Bang! ――

The two black shadows kept staggering and colliding, and the invisible shock wave in the air continued to spread.

White smoke once again shrouded the ruins.

Monsters, battles with monsters.

The deafening roar lasted for about a few minutes, then fell silent.

A night breeze blew, and the dust dispersed like a curtain.

On the ruins that had been flattened, Zax's figure gradually became clear.

Beneath his feet were shattered stones and scraps—the body of a gargoyle.

A head-on collision with a multi-ton gargoyle ended in his victory.

It's impossible to happen - is his body stronger than a gargoyle?

Besides, he didn't have such strength in the first place, could it be some kind of growth-type technique?

There must be some reason why he went from being impossible to fight Alice to surpassing Alice in all his attributes as he is now

Unable to see through the techniques used by her opponent, Shirley had already lost the battle from the start.

Shirley, who had already risen from the pile of bricks, gasped, bit her lip, and waved the white oil crayon in her hand again.

"My Alice is immortal!"

With her voice, the gargoyle stood between Zax and Shirley again.

"No matter how many times, how many times, how many times, how many times, how many times, she will not be killed by you again!!"

Howling like a wounded beast, the gargoyle flashed with several circular spells.

"Look! This is the final enhancement technique! It won't break this time! ”

I'm afraid she also knows that in the face of Zax, whose strength, speed, and even physical strength have surpassed the gargoyle in all aspects, she has no chance of winning.

It's like a cockroach that can't be killed, and when he gets back up, he'll be stronger than before he fell.

Now the other party can bypass the gargoyle's entanglement at any time and directly defeat him.

However, there is no room for back-off.

I don't want to let the tragedy like that happen again in front of my eyes.

The wound that could not be healed for more than ten years was still bloody when it was uncovered again.

So, even if you know it's so, hold on a little longer.

This guy must have some flaws

Looking at the gargoyle that pounced again, Zax stood still without changing his face, and then—

His right arm, gone.

No, to be precise, his right arm, which is waving at frequencies beyond the limits of human vision.

And in his right hand was the heavy, single-edged greatsword.

Sword name, destruction.

At this point, it turned into a black whirlwind and enveloped the gargoyle.

The gargoyle that fell down on its face paused in the air as if it were frozen, and then—

Shattered.

From the main body to the technique, it was completely destroyed.

The gargoyle was completely defeated, but Shirley didn't show any panicked expression, she just muttered:

"I'm sorry, Alice"

The surrounding magic array lit up at the same time, and then before Zax could react, there was a change around Miyoshi Misaka in the distance.

Like a rapidly growing plant, the stone blocks and Miyoshi Misaka quickly formed a semi-circular fortress around Miyoshi Misaka at any time to protect it.

The part that is exposed to the ground is semi-circular, but in fact, this defense is 360 degrees, which means that it is actually a stone ball formed with Miyoshi Misaka as the center.

Aside from all other enhancements, it only strengthens defense, and it is a defense system that can grow.

It is constantly absorbing all the materials around it, constantly compressing, strengthening, and growing

"Kabbalah's defensive technique, the self-growing type gave her the last hope of survival, is this your resistance? Why do this in order to protect her? ”

Her body screams like an old machine, indicating that Shirley, as a magician, has stretched her talents to the limit.

With all the remaining magic power to form the most powerful defensive technique, the current Shirley no longer has any ability to protect herself at all.

With one hand on his shoulder, Zax wiped the blood from his forehead:

"Don't think that I'm a murderer, Misaka's existence has threatened the operation of Britain and even the whole world, even if it's not here, someone else will come to take her life."

Lowering his head, Zax's voice was a little lonely:

"At least, let her die in my hands without pain, and I will find a way to give her the title of 'hero who died for Britain'."

"No kidding!"

Shirley, who was already exhausted, leaned against a stone slab, and although she couldn't even move a finger, she still showed a mocking expression:

"Sacrifice? It's boring. Can this argument justify your actions? What did Mirei Misaka do? What is the grudge against you? How many people do you want to kill under the sign of sacrifice?"

Once upon a time, I seemed to have been told this by a teenager

"Hmph, whatever you say, I don't expect anyone to understand my beliefs at all."

"Yes, but who made you realize this?"

“”

Zax choked, and the mocking expression on Shirley's face was even stronger, I don't know if it was for Zax, or for herself:

"That guy's existence threatens the world? What are you talking about? At most, it's an experiment sent by the school city.,Do you really think she can successfully combine superpowers and magic? ”

Deliberately belittled Misaka's importance, although unlikely, Shirley still hoped that this would give the guy a hope of survival.

"No, that's not what I mean."

Zax groaned, as if thinking about how to put his meaning into words.

Then, he spoke:

"Let's put it this way - you seem to be calling your gargoyle 'she'. Her name should come from a superpower in the school city more than ten years ago-Alice, right? ”

"Yes, what do you want to say?"

Shirley's expression looked a little hideous, and she gritted her teeth and said:

"What does this have to do with Mirei Misaka?"

"Of course it does—why is she and not he!?"

"Huh?! ――”

"Why love. Beautiful. Silk. And not Ai. Sharp. Silk!? ”

"This"

"Why did the former boy become a girl in your current memory?"

After a series of questions, Shirley fell into unprecedented confusion:

"Alice Alice she, how the hell could he be why"

"The world has been twisted!"

Zax's voice rang in her ears like the hammer of a legal judgment:

"And Misaka Meiling is the culprit!"

"Something has gone off track, and there's reason to believe that guy caused it all - she didn't mean to, but she did."

"Why the hell do we care so much about that guy? If we want to find the most favorable position for us in the midst of this turmoil and change, it is necessary to master that guy! If we can't master it, then even if we destroy her, we can't let others grasp it! ”

"Divination shows that there is one more place on the earth, that is, there is a person who should not have existed in the first place—the distortion of the world, from which it begins"

"It's getting interesting, Mirei Misaka. Let me see how far you can go, it's time for the world to change."

"The four major attributes are distorted and deformed, and the world is in danger of collapse because of a certain bastard. The only one who can save it all is the right hand of Uncle Ben! ”

A defensive center made up of a magic array.

This place is blessed by the defense techniques of the Kabbalah system, and this huge composite technique will continue to automatically absorb the surrounding materials to strengthen itself, and after a certain extent, it will automatically continue to strengthen with the help of earth qi and dragon veins, and if time permits, it will even constitute a planetary scale defense strength!

This is Shirley. Cromwell's last technique, the last hope, the ultimate defense.

But now, layers of stone in the center

The twisted singularity, which is valued by many bigwigs, is lying on the ground and stretching out a hand in vain to grab something, and at the same time she makes a difficult sound in her throat:

"Oxygen, oxygen save uh~"
