Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Blade

The base in Canaan is divided into five floors in total. Only the second and fourth floors are almost indistinguishable from other apartments, residences, and entertainment occasions, and the rest of the place is almost exclusively dedicated to the envoy's base. Secret occasions such as the fifth floor are protected to the greatest extent and basically cannot be breached, and the confidential part of the third floor is also isolated in a small protective shield, which is more and more strictly protected because of the laboratory crisis that happened before, so the guys of the Eternal Life Society - the disadvantage is that they will gather in the same place to adopt crowd tactics, and the advantage is that most people are trapped on the first floor, and just Mendecel and Jigao Shinomai, the two most experienced messengers, can deal with it. But how did those few people get into the base......

…… Now is not the time to think about it.

"Miss Fire, and others, please come here...... Sorry, the compensation will be deducted from my subsidy. Izumi lowered his head, and the chains rose from in front of them and pierced the floor to protect the fire no Miriko and the others, but when the chains were halfway up, an invisible force suddenly struck and shattered all the chains, as if countless sharp and blunt weapons had smashed through their bodies. Many of the surrounding researchers even fell to the ground and screamed, and the protective shield shook slightly and invisibly, "...... Trouble guy. ”

"I'm going to give that back to you as it is, what do you think you do? Guy who thinks he can save the world? Ahhh......h Can you get out of the way? Makino's tone was noticeably more insolent than the last time, and he could even feel an unprecedented sense of oppression, as if he was looking at the reptiles on the ground from the top down. Behind him, the machines made the sound of gears and blades rubbing, and in the chamber they were assimilated more slowly and more powerfully. "Izumi, I'll deal with those people, you delay Makino as long as possible, and I'll release the physical weapon......"

"...... like explosives?"

"Yes, this is the only weapon that can defeat the messenger in a real and fast sense. Even if it will cause some damage...... But that's all Makino can do without knowing what Makino will do. ”

“…… I'm sorry for you, Miss Firemi! ”

Mariko's glasses reflected slightly, obscuring her sharp gaze. A submachine gun in her hand condensed, taking advantage of the long-range weapon to shoot at the machines, and the reconnaissance part of the machinery also disassembled its own components to set up the machine gun after noticing her presence, but the bullets were no match for the process of being metamorphized and fell to the ground when it flew halfway. Seeing this, the other ranged emissaries also summoned their own weapons, and the melee emissaries followed Izumi Araba to attack Makino, even if they couldn't figure out the type and effect of his ability, but the crowd tactics were not lazy. Izumi's chains brushed against Makino's cheeks for a moment, and he froze, a series of laughs rolled out of his throat, and then invisibly severed the chain, pulling hard at the break. Izumi Araha's body was almost led away by him, and he could only throw the chains out by himself. And the chain wrapped around Makino's wrist like a snake, and gradually tightened.

"I see...... Looks like you've made a lot of progress in this area, Izumi, and you've gotten to the point where you can use your abilities to counter changes, which is amazing. As if to compliment a child, he clapped his hands, and the chain shattered to nothing at the moment of applause. This guy is clearly just provoking......! Izumi Huangbo's heart couldn't help but feel a little more resentful, but this was indeed a gap in strength, and all of this anger was released in useless battles again and again.

Cut off.

Cut off again.

And then all of them were .......

…… But it seems that I can vaguely feel the "shape" of the ability.

As Mendevilel mentioned in his casual conversation, "by scribbling on the paper with a pencil, you can see what is written in the traces left on the previous page". In that case, it would be fine to gather the isomorphs like a wall and crash them into them like a wall. Izumi Arama frowned, holding back the pain that came from the moment the chains were severed, and he carefully observed the shape, if he was not mistaken, it was probably ...... Knife? Cavalry knives? When he held it in his hand, it seemed that countless handfuls would fly out at the same time, but it was not just Izumi's heart.

Here's a hint for you. - He seems to be saying that.

"Hmm, ah......?!"

A long-range emissary who rushed in front of him suddenly fell to the ground as if he were in a hitch, and there was a deep scratch on his cheek, but it was not from the machines, but from Makino's weapon. Immediately, along with the machines that had fallen to the ground, the corpses of the members of the Eternal Society, and all the emissaries of the base, they all froze in place. Invisible blades—he couldn't estimate how many—pierced their corpses almost instantaneously, like a thousand in ninjutsu. The pain made Izumi want to scream, but he couldn't even scream when he was stabbed through his throat, and his body instinctively fell downward. The air seemed to freeze for a moment,

"You, bastard...... Makino !! The submachine gun turned into an ordinary cane and barely held on to Mariko Hinomi's crumbling body, her voice full of anger and hysteria, but she couldn't do anything but watch him approach the shield.

"Alright, that's it."

The shield detects a ...... of people Wait, why is a person detected...... No, but if he opened it, he would have destroyed all of them, so he couldn't ...... Izumi Arabo's palm struggled upward, and the blue crystal rolled in his palm a few times, but in the end, it was broken with another sharp, air-piercing sound, and he couldn't even lift his hand.

“…… But, ...... evil"

"Wait a minute, no...... Wait a minute, please. ”

Makino's voice was lowered a lot, and he looked extremely anxious. He seemed to want to do something else, but—

"Izumi Wild Wave."

Familiar sounds.

The restraints of the body seem to have disappeared suddenly. He barely moved his hand, only to find that the red-robed man in front of him was nowhere to be found. The researchers slowly got up as well, looking around suspiciously. Mariko frowned, but after noticing the instrument on the table, she suddenly exclaimed, "Rika Kawashima ......?!" ”

"Kawashima...... Yes......? When was that guy - oops, what ...... that guy is capable of?! As if noticing something, Izumi Arana screamed with wide eyes, and before he could even sit up from the ground, he slammed the floor - the moment he opened his mouth wide, he didn't shout again, and Mori Green's eyes filled up in an instant, and he even felt a little swallowed in his mouth. Rika Kawashima appeared in front of him, her short hair seemed to have grown, and she was still wearing a hospital gown, and her hand was holding ...... A crimson cloak. Makino's true face was also revealed in front of him in an instant, it was-

"Fly、...... Asuka-kun?! Yes, you ...... You are...... No, it can't be...... But why?! Obviously, when Makino is here, you are also ...... Asuka-kun"

"Ahh Is the full-body projection broken? It's a pity......" Makino's voice came from his shoulder, and immediately projected the appearance of another person in a black robe, but the voice was especially obvious to Makino himself, "No wonder you volunteered to ask you to be in charge of the attack on the third floor, it turned out that it was because it was your own person." The voice seemed to be holding back a laugh, and the paper ancestor bird lowered his head and his face turned pale, and then he cursed at the projection in front of him as if he was trying his best:

“…… You didn't say, didn't you say let me be here first...... No, it shouldn't be like that...... Bastard, Makino, you bastard!! Definitely trying to take advantage of me—"

"Ah, but if that's the case, why can't you reveal your identity before this and protect the third layer? I'm not here right now...... How's that, Izumi? Also, the current 'Makino' is not me, but you. What about the Eternal Life Society...... In addition to the positions you are aware of, there is also an 'Executive Committee'. And what about this so-called position of the executive committee...... As you can see, it's replaced by a name. From this day on, the real Makino becomes Takenouchi...... No, it's supposed to be the coronation ceremony of the paper ancestor, congratulations. ”

Hypocritical applause came from him again—from Makino's projector, and again through an army-green stalactite. Rika Kawashima was still expressionless, her arm completely turning into a stalactite. Then the stalactite slashed down again, aiming directly at the entire arm of the paper ancestor bird. Izumi Arabo took this opportunity to also step forward to release the chain, but he grabbed the paper ancestor Asuka tightly and pulled him in front of him, raised his hand and grabbed his collar and shouted: "...... Why are you - to do such a thing?! Why become Makino?! Who is that guy...... What the hell are you trying to do!! ”

“…… Izumi, I don't need to tell him, he violated the laws of Canaan and joined forces with the anti-messenger forces...... Go to Sodom and reflect on it. The submachine gun quickly turned into a pair of handcuffs, he grabbed one end and threw the other end out and clasped the hand of the paper ancestor bird, he did not resist, but his face was pale, he wanted to say but could not speak. Contrary to his thoughts, the transparent blade was released again, the cavalry knife smashed the handcuffs and chains, and the paper ancestor bird was paralyzed and barely knelt on the ground, his body shook a few times and almost fell to the ground, the red giant axe gushed out to help him support his body, but as if he realized something, he roared and reached out to push the spring wave away, and the blood mixed with different crystals flowed out from the corner of his mouth, and it was indistinguishable from the red color.

“…… Walk away......!!! ”。

After the paper ancestor Asuka shouted these words, a sharp, almost shattering aura came, which was a precursor to the attack...... Izumi Wilderness hurriedly summoned the chains, which were mixed with the myriad colors of different crystals. The invisible cavalry knife was embedded in the shield made of isomorphism, piercing a lot but failing to completely break through the defensive line. Paper Ancestor Asuka stared at Izumi Arabo with a face that bordered on despair - he had never shown that kind of demeanor, his pupils narrowed and trembled slightly, the corners of his mouth twitched faintly even if they were raised, his fists clenched and released and finally he clenched tightly, and all those crimson crystals melted into the debris around him, making him unable to even control himself.

"Then, Makino-sama, it's time to say goodbye." Makino, or the man who once had the name Makino, had a voice that appeared out of nowhere, and his laughter could not be suppressed, and the gloating look was almost the same as the way they first saw him, as if they had been pressed for a long time—the blade had not yet been opened, but it was ready to strike," ...... Haha, so guys...... Say goodbye, we'll see you again in the Eternal Realm on the day the gods summon us!" ”
