As Izayoi ran wildly, thanks to the hospital's winding design, Ellen couldn't fly freely at all, otherwise she might crash into the corner wall, the door that Izayoi had hooked open, or his elusive, three-meter-long gun.

Yosuke Mirai held a handful of broken porcelain shards in his hand, which he had already enhanced with his enhancement magic. He would occasionally shoot one behind him. With his wrist strength, it was enough to penetrate steel. Even if he opened his defensive random field, it would still leave a bloody hole when it hit Eileen.

This is also one of the ways to slow down Ellen's pursuit.

While fleeing, Yoyo Mirai pondered when to launch a counterattack. He wasn't afraid of fighting Ellen one-on-one; what he feared was being entangled and then being surrounded by others.

As he rounded another bend, he suddenly became alert and slashed horizontally with his longsword, just in time to block the sword that was falling toward his neck.

A soldier was lying in ambush around the corner; he was one of the four men who had fired at him earlier.

He didn't panic when he saw his sword being blocked. Following his superior's orders, he only needed to hold the line for a few seconds...?

The next moment, his eyes became vacant, and a bright red light shone in Yosuke Mirai's eyes. The blade slashed down, and a head flew off.

If I can't control Ellen, can't I control you?

Yosuke Mirai laughed mockingly. He glanced back at Ellen who had rushed over, and gestured towards his neck. Combined with the blood splattered on his face, he looked ferocious and terrifying.

This is the first one.

When the spacequake alarm sounded, Shiori didn't follow the crowd to take shelter. Her mission was to conquer the Spirits, but—

"No spatial response."

On Fraxinus, Kotori checked again and still found no spatial tremor reaction, but the value of the spiritual wave reaction was quite familiar; it was [Magician].

"Shiori, no new spirits have appeared; their target is the future of Izayoi."

Kotori's voice came through the earphone, "I knew it, how could the school possibly offer free physical exams, especially at the best hospital? There was definitely something fishy going on. They're about to start fighting. You should find somewhere to hide."

Shiori clenched her fists: "Shouldn't we go help him?"

"Sis, what help can you be? You'll only make things worse." Kotori's voice turned serious. "The only one who will care about your safety is the [Magician]. Do you expect him to still be hesitant and restrained when facing an enemy?"

Shiori bit her lip. Although she was unwilling, Kotori was telling the truth, and there was nothing she could do to help.

"You should leave here first," Kotori instructed. "We don't know yet if you and Tohka are their targets. I will keep an eye on the situation here, and I will take action if things get really critical."

"I see."

Shiori glanced at the tightly closed door and ran in the direction of the previous flow of people.

On Fraxinus, Kotori is investigating the identity of the attacker. Someone capable of triggering a spacequake alarm is definitely not a nobody. Interested in the Elves and armed with a manifestation device—is it the AST? Or—

"DEM".

Lingyin stared at the screen, her fingers tapping incessantly on the keyboard, lines of information appearing on the computer screen. "I found out, this hospital has shares in DEM, and it owns the majority stake."

"That wicked company that used magic to destroy Mana's body, leaving her with only ten years to live?" Kotori chewed on a gem. Although she was annoyed that Mana shared the same attributes as her sister, it didn't change Kotori's disgust for such behavior. She snapped her fingers.

"Then go and inform Miss Mana that the time for revenge has come."

Kotori's bright red pupils were reflected on the screen. She watched as Izayoi Mirai was chased and killed, her brows furrowed: "Kannazuki, if the [Magician] is really in mortal danger, then fire a magic beam to save him."

"Understood!" Shen Wuyue accepted the order. "As long as it's the commander's order, even shooting an apple on someone's head is fine."

Lingyin, who was standing to the side, tapped the table lightly and said, "Should we notify his sister? One more elf means one more fighting force."

“No way,” Kotori objected. “Wouldn’t that be deliberately exposing the elves to DEM? This action shows they’re too aggressive; who knows what they might do?”

“But it’s not much different from being exposed,” Lingyin said. “Even if they fail this time, given their level of interest in the Magician, they’ll find out about his sister sooner or later. And if they succeed this time, she’ll probably come knocking on their door, right?”

Reine looked at Kotori: "Furthermore, given their level of understanding, if something were to happen to the [Magician], his sister might very well..."

The spirit crystal reversed.

The two exchanged a glance, tacitly refraining from uttering the word.

Kotori was convinced and nodded, "I understand."

On the screen, a beam of light shot out from Youxiao Mirai's hand and entered the eye socket of a person in front of her. The powerful force pierced through the person's skull, and blood mixed with white tofu flowed from the wound.

Yoyo Mirai stopped in her tracks, turned around, and rushed towards Ellen.

The second man tried to distance himself and fire, but was pierced through the chest by the short gun he threw and pinned to the wall. The third man was stabbed through by the long spear he suddenly pulled out. And now, the fourth man has also died at his hands. Of the five people who had been chasing and intercepting him, only Ellen remains.

Yushou Mirai knew that DEM definitely had more than just this many people. After such a long time, their manpower was constantly arriving. The crowd here had already been evacuated, and they could cause as much damage as they wanted. This was why he had been wandering around inside the hospital. Yushou Mirai believed that if he dared to go out now, he would definitely be surrounded by a group of people armed with guns.

But they'll come in sooner or later. Only by killing Ellen as soon as possible can he feel safe wandering around with that group and waiting for an opportunity to escape.

Youxiao took a few steps and covered more than ten meters, his spear carrying an indomitable momentum.

Six Harmony Spear - Phoenix Nods.

Behind him, a blade of light pierced silently.

Chapter Thirty-Six: What a coincidence, you have an older sister too?

scoff-

The two swords clashed, and Mana rushed in from the side, blocking the sword that was aimed at Yoshou Mirai.

With the threat behind her gone, Yoruichi, who was about to stop, quickened her pace again, but her movements slowed down slightly, and Ellen easily dodged.

"Artemisia."

Mana read out the attacker's name: the deputy head of the second executive department of DEM Corporation, a magician second only to Ellen, whose strength was even greater than Mana's.

Eileen hovered in the air: "Mana, did you betray DEM?"

"Betrayal?" Mana sneered. "You've done so much to my body, and you still have the nerve to say such things?"

"Tsk, so you found out." Ellen felt sorry for losing a good henchman. "It seems we have no choice but to get rid of you. The display device on you is company property."

Artemisia didn't say anything, but rushed towards Mana with her sword in hand. Ellen also wanted to attack Mana, hoping to take down the weaker one first, and then the two of them would have a better chance of winning by ganging up on Yoshou Mirai.

But Yoshou will not give them that chance in the future.

A sharp whistling sound rang out as a short gun tore through the air and shot straight at Ellen. With no time to dodge, Ellen swung her sword to parry the gun. As she parried, her arm went numb, and Yoyo Mirai charged forward with her gun raised.

A sword thrust out from the side, blocking Yushou Mirai. It was Artemisia. Mana couldn't defeat her, so naturally, it was difficult for her to stop her.

Ellen, who had recovered, blocked Mana's pursuit, and the two quickly switched positions, cooperating quite well.

As Mana moved closer to Izayoi Mirai, she said, "Let's go out first. It's too cramped here; we can't move around freely."

“No,” Izayoi Mirai rejected. “There are definitely people outside. If we go out, we’ll be surrounded.”

"There aren't many with display devices. Apart from those two, the others don't have much combat power. We won't be afraid of ground interference if we fly higher."

Izayoi Mirai didn't know what to say; if he could fly, he wouldn't be staying here.

Eileen glanced at Youxiao Future: "I've been chasing you for so long, and I've never seen you fly. You can't possibly be unable to fly here, can you?"

She squinted, as if imitating Mirai Izayoi's previous behavior: "You're not wearing any spirit armor, and your spirit wave reaction is much weaker than other spirits. As a spirit, your strongest point is actually your fighting skills. If it weren't for your angel that seems to have storage functions, I would have doubted whether you were a spirit at all."

Izayoi Mirai pursed her lips, her movements becoming increasingly fierce: "Would you leave just because I'm not a spirit?"

“Of course not.” Ellen’s attack became more and more successful, completely suppressing Mana. “Even if you’re not an elf, there are many things we can study. Once I catch you, I will personally test what special features you have.”

“What a twisted woman. No wonder Elliot didn’t want you.” Izayoi Mirai mercilessly exposed her dark past. “If it were me, I would only want your sister.”

Eileen's hand froze, nearly having her head sliced ​​off by Zhenna's sword. Her usual calm expression vanished, and her eyes, now stung by the attack, seemed to want to devour her: "Who are you? How do you know all this!"

Others, seeing her unwavering loyalty to Westcott, assumed there was something between them, but it was merely her revenge against a man who had abandoned her.

Elliot was her companion who summoned the first spirit with Westcott, and he was also the one she fell in love with. Not long after they were summoned, the three of them went their separate ways. This happened so long ago that even he, as an elf, should not know about it!

"Of course I'm your old flame's friend. He and your sister are having such a great time, they're inseparable and enjoying their time together. I can't stand it anymore."

Izayoi Mirai immediately slapped the pot on Elliott's head. Anyway, he wasn't there, so Izayoi Mirai could make up whatever she wanted. Did he think he could just jump out and refute her?

Ellen remained silent as she listened to Yoyo Mirai's fabricated tales of a sweet life between Elliot and her sister, her jealousy growing like wildfire.

If one thing someone says is true, the audience will tend to believe that the second thing they say is also true. So when Izayoi Mirai said that name, Eileen believed Izayoi Mirai without a doubt.

She swung her sword faster and more fiercely, completely disregarding her injuries, fighting with her life on the line.

Thirty years have passed, thirty years without any news. Have you and that guy been living a carefree life all this time?

It was truly unbearable. She was already weaker than Ellen, and suddenly she was caught off guard and in grave danger.

Are you crazy? He upset you, so why are you trying to kill me? You want to die together with him? Your sister ran off with your man, but my sister just found someone.

Ellen finally snapped when she heard that Elliot and her sister were traveling the world and planning to have a child next year.

She abandoned Mana and shot towards Izayoi Mirai, who at that moment pierced through Artemisia, impaled her on the tip of her spear, and casually tossed her away, raising her spear to meet Ellen's attack.

Yushou's martial arts skills are more advanced than Ellen's, and with the healing from the lucky charm, she doesn't mind suffering some minor injuries.

After paying a price, Eileen had several deep, bone-revealing wounds on her body, bleeding profusely.

"What, are you angry?" Yushou Mirai raised an eyebrow. "But even if you kill me, it won't change the fact that you're being cuckolded. And Elliott and your sister's child is due next year. After all, people get old and want to leave offspring."

Ellen's sword blade grew half a foot longer out of thin air, a random area covering the blade under her will. Even her kicking foot had a sharp, blade-like object attached to it.

"Don't get excited. How about we make a deal? You kill Westcott, and I'll help you catch that heartless man. You can chain him up in the basement so he can't escape, and you can drain him dry as much as you like."

"Get out!" Eileen's eyes were filled with murderous intent. "I will find him myself and kill him!"

It seems that having a baby is a bit too exciting for a fifty-year-old single dog like this. Yushou Mirai smiled slightly, the faint red light in her eyes fading away. This is the proper way to use a hint.

His movements were perfectly composed. To lose one's composure when facing someone with superior martial arts skills would be tantamount to suicide in battle.

Yu Xiao is waiting for the future, waiting for Eileen to become mentally exhausted and unable to maintain her current high-intensity output, that will be the moment she is pierced.

But he overlooked one thing: the sound of dense footsteps approached, and a group of people armed with guns surged out and vaguely occupied every corner.

Their guns were pointed in this direction, followed by the sound of safety being pulled back.

Eileen's reinforcements have arrived.
