Japanese Terrorist: What? I'll fight Hellstar!

"Bang--!!!"

The next instant, the swordsman Tomie's back slammed solidly into the sturdy concrete wall behind her.

The dull thud of the impact was chilling. Centered on that point, a shocking crater was formed in the wall, with spiderweb-like cracks spreading outwards, and gravel falling in a flurry.

The thick beam of light did not stop, continuing to crush the swordswoman Tomie's body, pressing her firmly against the wall!

The sound of bones breaking was clearly audible, and the powerful body was almost crushed by the weight of the beam of light!

(Why did the art style change so suddenly?)

(Hey! Did you guys end up on the Dragon Ball set next door?)

(The commotion on the Dragon Ball set wasn't this small.)

(What the heck is a ki blast? And what the heck is sword energy?)

……

The upheaval at the high-rise apartment caused a huge stir on [Tomie Network], with astonishment, mockery, and curiosity all swirling around the topic.

Amamiya Rin, who was already waiting outside the TV station building, immediately realized what was going on after sensing what had happened to the swordsman Tomie.

(It's not qigong, it's life force. The life force absorbed by the Resurrector can not only revive people, but also has a physical impact. When the protagonist of "The Sword of the Resurrector" confronted the Resurrector, he was so excited that he spat out the life force that the Resurrector had injected into him, knocking the Resurrector down.)

Amamiya Rin sat in the coffee shop opposite the TV station building, holding a cup of milk tea, calmly answering Tomie and the others' questions.

(No wonder, the immortality granted by their immense life force and the artillery fire generated by releasing that life force would make it difficult for any secret organization to capture a Resurrected Soul Master and force them to serve them in a short time. No wonder the Japanese political establishment dares to let Resurrected Soul Masters roam freely, unafraid of them being harmed.)

Tomie and the others suddenly realized.

They had long found it strange. Even if so-called short horror comics didn't need to pay attention to such details, in the real world, how could those politicians who called themselves gods allow the resurrected to move freely, who held their own life in their hands?

So that's the reason.

However, no one, including Amamiya Rin, was worried about the swordsman Tomie.

Both are monsters with immortal bodies, but even in a war of attrition, the life force accumulated by the Soul Regenerator cannot outlast the Sword Master Tomie.

Not to mention, what threat does a gun emplacement that only fires cannons pose?

The pillar of light finally dissipated in the high-rise apartment.

Swordswoman Tomie's body slid down from the dent in the wall and crashed heavily to the ground. Her upper body was almost completely destroyed, her ribs exposed, her internal organs ruptured, and blood mixed with bits of flesh splattered all over the ground.

But the next second, her flesh and blood began to writhe wildly, and her skin, muscles, and bones proliferated rapidly.

In just a few seconds, the wound had mostly healed, and the swordswoman Tomie, now covered in a layer of black keratin, looked like a bio-monster.

"Immortality...?"

The Resurrector spoke in a hoarse voice, seemingly surprised by the swordsman Tomie's incredibly fast self-healing ability, but amidst his surprise, he also seemed to realize something.

"The retinue of the Great Mother..."

As if he had discerned the origin or essence of the swordsman Tomie, the Resurrector did not hesitate. He raised his arm again, pointing the Resurrector Sword at the swordsman Tomie. The black patterns on the sword shone slightly, and another solid white blade of light slashed through the air.

Swordswoman Tomie slammed her right foot against the wall, sending shattered concrete chunks raining down. She shot forward like an arrow, skimming almost the ground as she passed beneath the blade of light.

The blade of light grazed her back, taking away a piece of flesh, but the wound healed in the next second.

As she glided, she slapped the ground with her left hand, pushed off with her right foot, and leaped into the air, carrying the cracked katana, charging menacingly towards the Resurrector.

Facing the charging swordsman Tomie, the Soul Reaper seemed to lack combat skills and experience. He stood still without dodging and opened his mouth again.

"boom--!"

A thick white beam of light, like a high-pressure water cannon, blasted towards the swordsman Tomie at close range!

However, at this moment, in the eyes of the swordsman Tomie, all the actions of the Soul Reaper are predictable.

Breathing technique, full concentration!

When the sympathetic nervous system is activated to its limit, the oxygen content in the blood increases dramatically, and the speed of nerve signal transmission accelerates sharply.

The world seemed to be slowed down.

Every subtle movement of the Resurrector—the trembling of his fingers, the rise and fall of his chest with each breath, the swaying of his shoulders—became incredibly clear, like a reflection in a mirror.

He opened his mouth, and white light condensed deep in his throat.

But in the swordsman Tomie's perception at this moment, the process was slow and full of flaws.

The moment the beam of light erupted, the swordswoman Tomie stomped her feet hard on the ground, causing the floor to crack. Her body became a blurry afterimage, and the next moment after intersecting with the beam of light, she appeared like a ghost in the resurrector's blind spot!

The necromancer seemed to sense the danger and tried to turn his body.

But it was too late!

"New Yin Flow, Water Moon!"

In an instant, the katana transformed into an almost invisible streak of cold light.

The transition from stillness to movement happens in an instant.

The katana she held in her left hand transformed into an almost imperceptible, chilling arc of light, gliding precisely upwards across the necromancer's right wrist.

"Snap!"

With a soft crack, flesh and bones were rendered unimpeded by absolute speed and sharpness. The Resurrector's right hand was severed cleanly at the wrist, yet he still gripped the black short sword tightly, which swung upwards with the force of the impact.

Swordswoman Tomie's movements were not faltered at all. The instant her slash was completed, her free right hand shot out like lightning, grabbing the Soul-Returning Sword from the Soul Regenerator's hand!

It was icy to the touch, and the blade seemed to pulsate faintly.

The actions of seizing the sword and landing were completed in one smooth motion.

The moment the swordsman Tomie's toes touched the ground, she spun past and instantly appeared behind the unsuspecting Soul Master. With her left hand, she gripped her katana in reverse, aimed the sturdy hilt at the back of the Soul Master's neck, and slammed it down!

"Thump!"

A dull thud sounded, and the Resurrector's body stiffened abruptly. The white light that had gathered in his throat and was about to erupt suddenly dissipated. He fell face down, his body lurching forward, and he lay motionless on the ground.

The Resurrector is both very strong and very weak.

In the eyes of the swordsman Tomie, he was too slow, as slow as a tortoise.

Even if they could unleash a rocket-propelled light cannon or slash out a sword-like light wave, the Resurrected Soul Master is not a warrior and has not studied swordsmanship. Although they cannot withstand the bombardment as a cannon, if the opponent is a battle-hardened swordsman with the margin of error of being able to withstand the light cannon without dying, it is not difficult to find an opening to attack the Resurrected Soul Master himself. Of course, this is not difficult only for a strong person like the Sword Master Tomie.

The reason why Amamiya Rin and the others weren't worried when they realized that Soul Resurrectors actually possessed combat abilities was because of this.
