Tokyo: Magical Girl Shatters My Dream of Going Public

Chapter 71 Overloaded by 200%! (5/10)

at the same time.

Inside a hot spring inn in the distance.

Hoshino Saki, who was being lectured by Yukimura with her ear being pulled, suddenly heard a low, continuous rumbling sound coming from outside the window.

It wasn't thunder.

It felt more like something heavy—constantly crashing against the earth.

"Is it thundering?" She instinctively turned to look out the window.

My gaze pierced through the rain and fell upon the distant, layered shadows of the mountains.

The next second, she froze.

Seeing that the child dared to daydream, Xuecun gave his ear a hard tug.

"I'm still giving a speech!"

"T-Teacher!" she pointed forcefully out the window, "Over there! Look over there!"

Xuecun looked in the direction she was pointing.

The pupils suddenly contracted.

In the distance, above a valley nestled among the mountains, an unusually dazzling golden light was enveloping the area!

That wasn't lightning striking down from the clouds.

Instead—it was as if a violent bolt of lightning was erupting from the depths of the earth, shooting upwards!

The golden light kept flashing and expanding, illuminating the night sky over that area as if it were daytime.

Even from several kilometers away, one could vaguely see the enormous, twisting, and leaping electricity within, as well as the smoke and debris that were constantly being stirred up by the shockwaves and spreading outwards like a tide.

"What is that?" Yukimura murmured, his hand that was gripping Saki's ear unconsciously loosening its grip.

She subconsciously touched the back of her neck.

There was no unusual feeling.

But a deeper unease was spreading through her heart along with the golden light that kept bursting forth in the distance.

Now that she was free, Saki Hikari displayed the excellent habits of a video creator. She flipped over, picked up her camera, aimed it at the battle in the distance, and started recording!

And in the center of the battlefield.

Overloading rates in Kurokawa are skyrocketing!

110%...125%...140%...!

Exceeding energy limits will cause irreversible damage to both the combat suit and the human body.

This is common sense; it's a desperate tactic that comes at the cost of burning one's life.

But he possesses the special trait of [Recovery Enhancement]!

With the transformation and amplification of the F-level flesh human's [regeneration] characteristic, the actual load on his body caused by overload was greatly offset.

For him, 150% overload would only result in "minor injuries" such as muscle fiber tearing and temporary nerve overload.

It's like a fitness enthusiast performing a high-intensity full-body workout in one day.

With proper rest for seven or eight days, you should be fully recovered.

now.

Ahead, Tian Shan, who had barely finished treating his thigh injury, saw his eyes blaze with dark golden lightning once more!

She let out a low growl and slammed her injured right leg into the ground!

The ground exploded!

Her figure transformed into a dark golden arrow that tore through the rain curtain, shooting straight at Kurokawa!

This attack was even faster than before!

Our strength is now more concentrated!

Without overloading, there's simply no time to react, let alone block.

But in Kurokawa's pupils, a crimson light flowed like lava.

Within a 150% overloaded field of vision, that lightning-fast trajectory—

It became clear and discernible.

He could see the sequence of her leg muscle exertion, the point where lightning compressed at her ankle, and the slight hesitation and deformation caused by her pain.

He can do it!

Crimson tentacles rose up behind him like angry dragons.

He drew his twin swords.

Facing the destructive dark golden lightning, Kurokawa stepped forward, lowered his waist, and assumed a fighting stance.

In an instant, the two collided!

The rainy night was torn apart by crimson and dark gold!

Boom! ...

A visible white shockwave erupted from the point of contact! The rain within a ten-meter radius was instantly cleared and evaporated!

The lightning-fast kick from the sky collided violently with Kurokawa's crossed twin swords!

The sharp hissing sound of metal and energy being squeezed pierced the eardrums.

The ground could not withstand this enormous force and collapsed beneath Kurokawa's feet!

Spiderweb-like cracks spread wildly in all directions, and rubble exploded upwards as if it had been detonated!

Kurokawa's arm muscles bulged, and crimson tentacles suddenly stabbed out from behind him, heading straight for Tensaku's chest and abdomen!

Tian Shan spun rapidly, dark golden lightning condensing into a solid shell around his body.

Boom!Boom!Boom!

The tentacles pierced the lightning armor, producing a dull thud like a heavy hammer striking a steel plate!

Each strike caused Tian Shan's body to tremble violently, and the ground beneath his feet cracked inch by inch!

She roared in retaliation.

His right fist, carrying a sphere of lightning condensed to its maximum, slammed straight into Kurokawa's face!

Kurokawa turned his head, and the lightning ball grazed past his ear before striking the rock wall behind him.

BOOM! ...

The rock wall was blasted open, creating a huge crater with a diameter of more than three meters!

Countless cracks spread across the rock surface like lightning, and large chunks of rock collapsed and rolled down the hillside.

Kurokawa's blade slashed horizontally with the momentum!

Tian Shan ducked, the blade flashing past her head before striking a withered tree about half a person's thickness to the side.

laugh--!

The tree trunk broke silently into two sections, the cuts as smooth as a mirror.

The upper half of the tree crown tilted slowly, and the moment it crashed to the ground, it stirred up a cloud of mud and water.

The two figures flashed back and forth at high speed on the battlefield.

Each collision triggered a small-scale explosion!

Lightning and crimson energy clashed and annihilated each other, completely altering the shape of the ground in the battle zone.

The charred pit.

Radial fissures.

Molten rock fragments were scattered all around.

The air distorts under the high temperature, and raindrops are evaporated into white mist before they even hit the ground.

Another head-on clash!

Twin swords clashed with lightning-fast fists!

Sizzle—!!!

A blinding surge of energy burst forth in all directions, instantly shattering several rocks nearly half a person's height nearby!

The shockwave propelled both of them backward simultaneously.

Its feet carved four deep furrows, each half a foot deep, into the ground, until it crashed into an obstacle and came to a stop.

Tian Shan leaned against a giant tree, and the tree trunk instantly turned black and carbonized.

Kurokawa's back pressed against a protruding rock, the surface of which cracked and splintered, with gravel falling down in a flurry.

The two locked onto each other again amidst the billowing smoke and steam, their breathing heavy, but their killing intent undiminished.

Within a radius of 100 meters, it was a scene of devastation and scorched earth.

Tian Shan gritted his teeth, his pupils flashing with dark gold.

Push hard with both palms—

Roar!Roar!

The two truck-sized thunderbolt wolf heads did not dissipate; instead, they shrank dramatically while roaring!

The colossal body condensed into two wolf-shaped bolts of lightning, each only the size of a car, yet as solid as dark gold steel!

The speed suddenly increased dramatically!

Instead of crashing down heavily, it transformed into two lightning bolts that shot close to the ground, one on the left and one on the right, blocking all of Kurokawa's escape routes!

too fast!

But he wasn't going to sit idly by and wait to die!

A crimson glint flashed in Kurokawa's eyes.

The liberation rate is still increasing.

155%!

He turned sideways, pushed off the ground, and the rubble exploded.

A Thunder Wolf grazed past him on the left, its scorching energy tearing through the air and leaving a scorch mark on his shoulder armor.

The right-side Thunder Wolf is already at my waist!

Twist and parry!

A metallic lament.

The force of the impact sent him drifting several meters to the side, his feet sinking deep into the mud.

The wolf's head hadn't retreated when it opened its mouth to tear and bite!

Tentacles erupted from behind, crisscrossing and blocking!

laugh--!

The lightning plasma and crimson energy clashed fiercely, causing the steam to explode.

Kurokawa roared inwardly, "Not enough!"

To win—this level is far from enough!

The liberation rate continues to soar!

160%——!

The blood vessels bulged under the skin like earthworms, and dark red lines spread to the neck.

165%——!

His breath was scalding hot, like a branding iron, and each inhale and exhale spewed out crimson sparks.

170%——!

The world suddenly became clear, and then suddenly slowed down.

The trajectory of the thunder wolf, the taut knuckles of the sky, the arc of raindrops suspended in mid-air.

Everything is within sight.

It's now!

His figure blurred, leaving a crimson afterimage in place, while his true form tore through the rain curtain and rushed straight towards Tian Shan's main body!

Tian Shan's pupils suddenly contracted.

There was no time to think; it was an instinctive scream.

"Get out of here!"

boom!!!

His entire body's lightning armor exploded completely! Countless lightning spikes scattered like thorns, indiscriminately bombarding all directions!

Kurokawa did not dodge.

Twin swords clashed, a crimson light splashed as they slashed!

The blade cleaved through the lightning net, tearing a gap in its path!

But the thunderstorms were too dense and too thick!

The sword's momentum was thwarted, and advancing even an inch was as difficult as being stuck in mud.

not enough-!

180%——!

Behind them, two thunder wolves had already turned around and pounced, their bloody mouths wide open!

Kurokawa's tentacles suddenly retracted and merged, then expanded again. Two giant, crimson tentacles, like those of a giant snake, burst forth from his shoulder blades, slamming down from above like the palms of a colossus!

boom!!!

Tentacles collide with thunder wolves—

Stalemate!

The ground is cracked, and mud is flowing backwards!

The wolf's head howled, charging forward frantically.

The tentacles hummed, the carapace shattered and regenerated, pressing down relentlessly.

A tug-of-war!

Blood trickled from the corner of Tian Shan's mouth, and his madness intensified.

With his hands clenched loosely, lightning surged wildly into the wolf's body.

Kurokawa clenched his teeth, blood seeping from between them.

190%——!

With its tentacles gaining even more power, it suddenly sank downwards!

Bang! ! !

The two thunder wolf heads were forcefully pressed into the ground!

Thunderous spray flew everywhere, and the creature struggled and screamed, but could no longer raise its head.

Tian Shan trembled, and fear finally flashed in his eyes.

She screamed, her hands clasped together—

All the scattered lightning bolts collapsed wildly into her palm!

Compress, and compress again—

It condensed into a fist-sized, yet dazzlingly bright, dark gold lightning core!

Die!

She pushed her arms forward, and the lightning core transformed into a straight beam of light, blasting towards Kurokawa's chest!

This strike is enough to vaporize steel and pierce through mountain rocks.

But Kurokawa lifted his eyelids.

Deep within her crimson eyes, the last vestige of restraint was completely extinguished.

200%!

Overload limit!

Even in his past life, he had never reached the 200% forbidden zone!

at this point-

It burst open with a roar!

The [Recovery Enhancement] trait is frantically repairing itself within the body; torn muscle fibers are reorganizing amidst collapse, and burned nerves are reborn amidst destruction.

pain?

exist!

But even more turbulent is the power of the rushing torrent!

He stepped forward, charging ahead, his twin blades trailing crimson sparks, like wings cleaving through the night to meet the destructive lightning. Without dodging or avoiding, he slashed down with a single blow!

"break!

"

The blade and the lightning core collided without a sound.

Only a blinding white light, engulfing everything.
