Tokyo: Magical Girl Shatters My Dream of Going Public

Chapter 69 Accel World! (3/10)

Tian Shan couldn't believe it!

The power of those tentacles—they could actually shatter her lightning wolf head head head head-on?!

Just as the two tentacles were raised high, about to smash down on her, *sizzle*!

Lightning exploded on her body!

She practically tumbled and scrambled, stumbling and falling to the side in a sorry state!

boom!!!

Where the tentacles struck, they created a deep crater in the ground.

She rolled several times on the ground, then knelt on one knee, breathing heavily.

In a flash, she suddenly realized—

Strength has never been her forte.

Speed ​​is everything!

She no longer passively defends and chases.

She wants to become the attacker who cannot be captured!

"Drink up—"

1

'

She let out a low growl, and the lightning around her suddenly receded, her leg muscles tensing to their limit.

The next second, she moved.

It wasn't a direct, surprise attack.

Instead, it transformed into a golden arc of electricity that raced around the Kurokawa River!

fast!

They were so fast they were almost out of sight!

At the same time, the two lightning wolf heads, which had just reformed and were slightly smaller but faster, let out a howl and pounced on Kurokawa from the left and right sides!

They have only one mission: to harass and contain!

As Kurokawa's tentacles entangled with the wolf's head, a glint of light flashed in Tenshin's eyes the instant he parried!

opportunity!

Behind Kurokawa, the door is wide open!

It's now!

She suddenly changed direction, switching from circling to a straight thrust!

Lightning condensed into a blinding golden point on his right leg, kicking Kurokawa straight in the back!

This strike maximized both speed and penetrating power!

succeed--!

"Varied--?!"

Her pupils contracted sharply the instant the flying kick landed.

Kurokawa—didn't even turn around.

But behind him, a tentacle that had been helping to block the wolf's head suddenly and unexpectedly reversed at an angle that defied the laws of physics!

He aimed precisely at her face!

too fast!

Alarm bells rang in Tian Shan's mind, and he forcefully stopped his forward momentum, using his legs to propel himself up and leaping diagonally backward with all his might!

The tip of the tentacle grazed her nose, and the wind it generated made her cheeks sting.

She tumbled through the air, landed, and left two long, charred tracks on the wet, slippery ground before finally regaining her balance after sliding for dozens of meters.

She looked up and stared at Kurokawa in disbelief.

Kurokawa finally turned around slowly.

The gaze beneath the mask settled calmly on her.

Blind spots?

His field of vision is shared with the drone.

There's absolutely no way Sky Flash could succeed in a sneak attack!

And right under Tian Shan's shocked gaze.

Behind Kurokawa, the four thick, dark blue tentacles began to rapidly flicker and writhe with energy patterns on their surfaces.

Then it splits!

Four become eight.

Eight sticks become sixteen!

The sixteen roots split again!

Finally, a total of thirty-two energy tentacles, each as thick as a thumb but extending to more than ten meters in length, thrashed wildly behind him like a swarm of snakes with independent lives!

Each one gleamed with a cold, energetic luster, and its tip was sharp.

next second.

All thirty-two tentacles trembled simultaneously.

The light is distorted.

They all vanished into thin air once again!

All that remained was the sound of the torrential rain pounding the ground and the pervasive, suffocating sense of oppression.

Tian Shan's breathing suddenly stopped.

Oops--!

Tian Shan immediately sensed the danger.

She flashed away, transforming into a winding golden bolt of lightning, attempting to break free of the encirclement.

But the "firepower net" woven by the thirty-two invisible tentacles is so dense that it's suffocating.

*Swoosh!* A bloody gash appeared on his left arm.

Thud! He took a heavy blow to his right shoulder.

*Thud!* A sharp point pierced his calf and was quickly pulled out.

The injuries are worsening rapidly.

Blood mixed with rainwater stained his clothes red.

At first, she was able to use her extreme speed to weave and dodge through the gaps in the tentacles.

But soon, she was horrified to discover that the speed of the tentacles was also increasing!

After each dodge, the next tentacle attack will be even faster!

The attack angles became increasingly tricky and unpredictable, as if they could predict her every change of direction!

Her panic grew stronger.

If things continue like this—we're bound to lose!

We have to use that trick!

He gritted his teeth.

The magic surged wildly within his body, rushing into the gem at the center of the ribbon on his chest.

Unlike F-rank magical vengeful spirits, E-rank magical vengeful spirits possess a finishing move.

As an E-rank magical girl, she also possesses a special attack!

Golden lightning flashed in her eyes, and she hissed, "Accelerate—"

'

"world!!!"

hum! ! !

An invisible ripple suddenly spread out from her center!

In an instant.

The rain stopped.

No, it's not a stop.

It became extremely, extremely slow.

Each raindrop hovered in mid-air, its surface shimmering with a faint light, like crystals embedded in the darkness.

The invisible tentacles that were dancing wildly all around froze in mid-air, maintaining their offensive posture and remaining completely still.

The sound disappeared.

All sounds are silent.

In this "accelerated world" that she forcibly created, her senses were heightened to the limit, and everything outside was almost still relative to her.

She "looked" at Kurokawa.

In her accelerated vision, Kurokawa's movements also became incredibly slow, like walking in the deep sea.

His head was turning toward her very slowly.

in time!

In this field, she has an absolute speed advantage!

Let's end it here!

Her leg muscles tensed, and lightning compressed and accumulated beneath her feet.

He leaned forward slightly, pinpointing the location of Kurokawa's heart.

Then sprint!

In the accelerated world, she felt as if she had returned to the familiar track and field.

Speed, speed, and more speed!

Surpass everything!

In the distance, that petite figure, always a step ahead of her, seemed to reappear.

Chinatsu Suzukawa!

She screamed, straining with all her might, and finally—

It surpassed that illusion!

Lightning condensed and compressed on her right leg, transforming into a single point of destructive golden light.

This kick will end everything!

She rushed in front of Kurokawa, her leg pulled back, ready to unleash a powerful kick. However, at that very moment!

Suddenly, the ground beneath her feet gave way to nothingness!

It felt like stepping into an invisible trap, or like having your tendons severed in an instant.

The balance collapsed instantly.

She fell forward uncontrollably!

What happened?!

The effects of Accelerated World ended at this point.

The flow rate of time has returned to normal.

boom!

She fell hard into the mud, the immense inertia pushing her forward and rolling, once, twice—more than a dozen times!

Finally, his back slammed hard against the hard rock.

cough!

He spat out a mouthful of blood.

A brief moment of confusion.

Then, excruciating pain surged from my right groin like a tsunami.

"Ugh!!"

She lowered her head.

Above his right combat boot, on the outside of his thigh, a deep, gruesome wound that exposed bone was gushing blood!

The bright red color was glaring.

Her mind went blank.

Until—she saw the long sword slowly hanging down in Kurokawa's hand.

The tip of the knife was dripping with her blood.

How is that possible?

How could someone possibly hit me in Accel World?!

Do not!

impossible!

Absolutely impossible!

Kurokawa coldly stared at Tenshin, who lay sprawled in the mud and blood.

Ordinary people, even those skilled in speed like Chika, would probably find it difficult to cope with this "Accel World" move, even if they used the same five-plugin setup.

Unfortunately for him, Tian Shan's opponent was him.

Accel World?

He had seen it too many times in his past life.

Trait [Invisible Hand] - Attacks inflict the "Presence Reduction" effect.

Trait [Weakness Insight] - Capture movement trajectories and force exertion points.

Plugin [All-in-One Analysis] - Ultra-high-speed dynamic vision, analysis, and prediction.

The three factors are combined, and then further aided by the God's-eye view of a high-altitude drone for positioning assistance.

He didn't aim for the vital point because he was worried about a life-or-death crisis, which automatically triggered the magical girl's abnormal extrasensory abilities!

So he calculated the path of the Sky Flash dash, and at the moment he lifted his leg to exert force, he positioned the blade at the height that her thigh would inevitably pass through.

The blade, with its minimal presence, blended into the rain curtain as Tian Shan focused intently on his attack.

She wasn't slashed.

It was she herself who, with the speed of a full-speed sprint, "crashed" her thigh into the stationary blade.

Kurokawa takes a step.

Hey.

Hey.

Hey.

The sound of footsteps was crystal clear in the mud.

He walked toward Tian Shan, who was lying on the ground, his two swords hanging down, the tips of the swords leaving thin trails in the muddy water.

"it's over."

He stopped in front of Tian Shan and said coldly.

"Sky Flash".

Tian Shan raised his head.

Rainwater mixed with mud streamed down her face, and for the first time, fear was clearly reflected in her usually sharp eyes.

She shook her head, her voice hoarse and broken: "No—not yet—"

"Absolutely not over yet!!!"

With a roar, her trembling hand suddenly reached deep into the ribbon on her chest.

He gripped a never-used crystal with his five fingers and pulled it out forcefully!

The crystal core seemed to contain raging thunder, its light flickering on and off.

Kurokawa's pupils contracted.

That's—a D-grade crystal core?!

How could she possibly—!

A final frenzy flashed in Tian Shan's eyes as he aimed the crystal core at the inlay slot of his right combat boot and slammed it down with all his might!

Clang!

The sound of the inlay was so crisp it was almost shrill.

next second.

boom!!!!

Centered on her, a golden lightning bolt, far exceeding the previous ones and almost violent, suddenly exploded out!

That wasn't the light that flickered with electric arcs like before, but a sea of ​​thunder that was as tangible as a physical object, filled with an aura of destruction!

Wherever the lightning struck, the rain evaporated instantly, the ground turned scorched and cracked, and the gravel silently turned to dust!

Kurokawa didn't even have time to make any defensive moves.

The raging lightning energy, like an invisible giant hammer, slammed solidly into his chest!

BOOM! ...

He was lifted off the ground and flew into the air.

The multicolored flames on the surface of the combat suit flickered wildly, trying to offset the impact, but they faded the moment they made contact.

He was like a stone thrown with all his might, arcing through the air before crashing heavily into the rock face dozens of meters away.

Boom!

The rock face was concave, and loose rocks rolled down.

Kurokawa slid down the rock face, knelt on one knee, and used his sword to support his body so that he wouldn't fall.

He raised his head, and a suppressed cough came from under his mask, a trickle of blood seeping from the corner of his mouth.

In front.

The lightning slowly subsided.

The sky flickered and swayed as it rose anew from the charred, thunderous field.

The wound on her right leg was forcibly burned off by the violent lightning to stop the bleeding, leaving behind a hideous scorch mark.

The golden arcs of electricity leaping around him grew several times thicker, and their color changed from bright to an ominous dark gold.

She slowly raised her head and looked at Kurokawa.

In those eyes, fear was replaced by something more dangerous—a complete, reckless madness!
