Knight Asylum

Asakura Takeshi glanced sideways, and before he could think, the crazy roars of the mirror beasts ignited the desire to kill in his heart. He twisted his neck left and right and looked at the mirror beasts.

Shinji Shirodo chased Tojo Go to the fourth floor. Just as he was about to rush to the fifth floor, the wall shattered without warning. An arm wearing a dragon-shaped card reader flew out from the rubble, grabbed Shinji Shirodo's head and dragged him into the darkness.

Shiroto Shinji reacted instantly, grabbed the other's arm in return and shouted to Tezuka Umiyuki, "Mr. Tezuka, don't worry about me, don't let Tojo and the others... kill Kanzaki Yui!"

Tezuka Umiyuki, who was about to help, nodded vigorously.

Shinji Shirodo raised his right foot and pushed against the wall to gain leverage, then threw Ryuga out of the darkness with a powerful shoulder throw. Gravel flew everywhere, and the dark mask and the light mask were turned upside down and faced each other.

Tezuka Umiyuki who chased up the stairs met Akiyama Ren who was standing in the corridor with a knight's spear, but strangely, Tojo Go and Sano Mitsuru were nowhere to be seen.

Akiyama Ren is very strong, but it is impossible for her to be strong enough to deal with two Mirror Knights, Tojo Go and Sano Mitsuru, who have Freeze Advent and multiple Mirror Beasts, at the same time in such a short time.

Without waiting for Tezuka Umiyuki to speak, Ogawa Eri walked out from behind Tezuka Umiyuki. She had a knight belt on her waist and held Odin's knight card box in her right hand.

"lotus……"

Amid Tezuka Umiyuki's exclamations and prayers, Ogawa Eri transformed into Odin, but just when Tezuka Umiyuki thought that a fierce battle was inevitable, Akiyama Ren suddenly turned around and placed the knight's spear across Odin's neck.

"lotus?"

"Here is my battle," Akiyama Lian held the knight's spear in her hand and turned slowly to face Odin.

"please!"

Tezuka Umiyuki nodded vigorously, then walked past Akiyama Ren and Ogawa Eri with great confidence.

Ogawa Eri transformed into Odin and immediately turned around and reached over the knight card box with his right hand and pulled out a card. Just as he was about to put it into the tin reader, Akiyama Ren grabbed his wrist.

“Eri, please, you’re not that kind of person—”

"lotus……"

As if moved by Akiyama Ren's words, Ogawa Eri's hand loosened a little, but what Ogawa Eri said next made Akiyama Ren's heart sink.

"That's why you keep doing this."

Ogawa Eri disappeared like a phantom in the mirror, and brilliant feathers fell. The seemingly beautiful feathers exploded the moment they landed on Akiyama Ren.

At the same time, Red, who was taking the elevator, had arrived at the floor where Kanzaki Yui was.

Shirou Kanzaki, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, was standing in the corridor, outside his sister's ward, looking through the observation window at his sister lying on her bed.

The man who owns the world and can even reverse time does not want to rule the world or destroy it.

But he simply wanted to save his sister.

But, he couldn't do it.

No matter how much he turned back time he couldn't save his sister.

Shirou Kanzaki raised his head slightly and looked at Reid who came out of the elevator.

Their desperation is the starting point of everything.

Just like that time, they didn't escape.

Chapter 442: Lost Freedom, Lost Courage

"I'm not here to kill Kanzaki Yui."

"I know."

Shirou Kanzaki flipped his hand and slid the knight card box into the knight belt around his waist, and the majestic and sacred Odin appeared in front of Reid.

"I am here to make you give up. This is...enough."

"I know too."

The phoenix-shaped staff fell down, and its golden wings spread out. It lost its wings of fire and wind, and what remained was only its body with infinite power.

"I can't get out."

The two golden swords fell down in an interlaced manner, and Akiyama Ren could only deal with it with difficulty using the knight's spear in her hand.

"I don't dare to face it either."

The black Dragon Fang and the red Dragon Knight stared at each other in the silent corridor, like a pair of western gunslingers dueling. They simultaneously drew out the Advent Cards from the Knight Card Box and rushed towards each other.

Having lost my freedom and my courage, all that is left is numbness, the power that allows despair to continue in an endless cycle.

Just like that day.

“So, here I come!”

Ultimate Kuuga leaped forward and threw a punch filled with great power, colliding with Odin's fist in mid-air.

【Don't destroy them! 】

A visible impact was released from between the two fists. Logically, this blow would have destroyed the entire corridor, but the moment the impact was thrown out, the arc of electricity flashed from the body of Ultimate Kuuga and swept over the impact itself at a faster speed.

Even if Odin, who can reverse time like a god, is no match for Ultimate Kuuga in a physical collision, the huge force pierces out like a spear, and Odin's arm throws Odin's body up.

Under the mask in mid-air, the pure white curtains blown by the wind on both sides were reflected in Kanzaki Shirou's slowly widening eyes.

Before Odin landed on the ground, Ultimate Kuuga had already arrived beside him and landed a punch. Odin fell heavily to the ground and bounced back. The power that should have penetrated and destroyed the floor and even the entire building remained on his body without spilling out at all.

Ultimate Kuuga raised his fist and punched down again, but Odin disappeared. The fist carrying terrifying power fell to the ground, but not even a speck of dust was raised.

Countless feathers fell, and Odin appeared in the distance, filling the advent card into the staff.

【Sword Vent】

In reality, there is a certain time difference between the Mirror Knight using the Advent Card and the Advent Card taking effect. Even Odin cannot avoid this, but Odin can change his position indefinitely. It is very difficult to get rid of Odin by taking advantage of the time difference.

And Red had no intention of stopping Shirou Kanzaki from using the Advent Card.

The emotions that grew in that room could not be stopped by violence.

Ultimate Sora slowly walked towards Odin, and a violent explosion occurred the moment the feather fell and touched Ultimate Sora, but Ultimate Sora just turned his body and did not stop.

The golden double swords flew out from the tiles and fell into Odin's hands.

The blades collided and crossed each other, and dazzling sparks illuminated the eyes in the masks. Ryuga and Dragon Rider swung their hands at the same time. The blades in their hands could not withstand the force and were thrown out of their hands and nailed to the wall.

This is the battle between Ryuga and Dragon Rider, and also the battle between Kido Shinji and Kido Shinji.

"If you were me...why would you do this!"

"Because this is Kido Shinji!"

【Strike Vent】

The black dragon head and the red dragon head bit each other in mid-air, and the black flame and the red flame erupted at the same time. The two collided and reacted with each other, and the fierce explosion blew away Dragon Fang and Dragon Rider.

"This is... me?" Shinji Shirodo stood up with difficulty, holding on to the wall.

"Have you forgotten? That feeling..."

In the raging fire, the pitch-black Ryuga slowly stood up. Shinji Shirodo's pupils shrank, and memories began to emerge. The death of everyone in the ORE newspaper appeared before his eyes.

That’s right, at that time, such emotion was born in his heart.

【anger】

【hatred】

【Killing intention】

It’s not everyone at ORE Newspaper who is wrong.

Under the attraction of such emotions, something that should have dissipated in the fire was gathered together again.

"boom--"

Accompanied by heavy dragon roars, the walls collapsed. Two giant dragons, one red and one black, tore open one side of the building and collided with each other. One wall after another collapsed and was damaged.

Longya rushed out from the flames and punched Shinji Shirodo one after another, and Shinji Shirodo could only respond in a panic.

"Have you forgotten? Everyone is dead! Everything has been taken away!"

Longya swung his arm, grabbed Shirodo Shinji's head and smashed it into the wall, then rushed forward, dragging Shirodo Shinji's head against the wall.

"No! Everyone is still alive! It will definitely work this time!"

Shinji Shirodo kicked Ryuga away and rolled on the ground for several times before he managed to steady himself. But just as he stood up and had not finished speaking, a rapier swung out from the darkness and hit Shinji Shirodo on the back.

Shinji Shirodo, who had not yet stood firm, flew out and hit the wall heavily.

"Miss Kirishima..." Shinji Shirodo raised his head with difficulty.

The person who walked out from the darkness was Kirishima Miho.

"Nothing, this time it's fixed," Kirishima Miho pointed her sword at Shirodo Shinji, "Don't you understand? That's what has already happened!"

"Yes, Ms. Kirishima, this has already happened, it has already happened! It is an unchangeable fact!" Shinji Shirodo staggered to his feet, holding on to his arm.

"What's the point of doing this now?"

"Yes! Of course it has meaning!" Kirishima Miho excitedly swung the rapier in her hand and slashed towards Shirodo Shinji, and Shirodo Shinji could only guard against Dragon Fang while dodging Kirishima Miho's attack.

"There exists in this world a power that can correct everything!"

"It's just that those powers are hidden by those bastards. They will only use that power for their own benefit! We ordinary people... no matter how many die! No matter what misfortunes we encounter!"

"None of them will care! So—"

The rapier smashed into the wall and was swung up, with a dazzling cold light, and the flying gravel and smoke blocked Shinji Shirodo's vision. Longya did not miss this opportunity and stepped forward and punched Shinji Shirodo in the side of the face.

"Everything must be destroyed!"

Kirishima Miho dropped her hands and gasped for breath.

"Destroy everything. Only in this way can they see us and make corrections! Only in this way can change be possible!"

"Everything!? What about you! What about you guys!"

Kirishima Miho clenched the rapier in her hand.

That day, a man who called himself Sakurai Yuto appeared in front of her and made her remember everything.

[Miho, I have something I want to tell you, can you...?]

[My sister is so long-winded]

Her last conversation with her sister was actually this?

At that time, her sister came into contact with the power of the mirror world because of someone. Her sister was very uneasy and needed her, but she was annoyed and hung up the phone, pushing her sister into the abyss.

"It doesn't matter anymore, it doesn't matter anymore!" Kirishima Miho yelled as if she had collapsed and rushed towards Shirodo Shinji.

Chapter 443: Miraculous Arrival, Fateful Survival

莲？

Akiyama Lian's body shook, and her blurred vision gathered again. She dodged the attack of the golden saber by leaning sideways in a very thrilling manner. At the same time, the knight's spear in her hand stabbed towards Odin's head, but the tip of the spear finally stopped in front of Odin's head.

Akiyama Ren's fingers holding the knight's spear trembled slightly.

"Eri, please..."

Ogawa Eri did not let Akiyama Ren go just because he showed mercy several times. She chopped Akiyama Ren back with one sword, nailed the golden saber into the ground with her right hand, pulled out an Advent Card from the Knight Card Box and stuffed it into the reader.

【Steal Vent】

After being chopped back, Akiyama Ren subconsciously tried to use the knight's spear to support his body, but his right hand was empty and the knight's spear in his hand disappeared and appeared in Ogawa Eri's hand. Having lost his support, Akiyama Ren knelt on one knee on the ground.

"Lian? Why are you unwilling to help me? Is saving me such a painful thing for you?"

The sharp tip of the gun was pointed at Akiyama Ren's head, and Ogawa Eri slowly walked towards Akiyama Ren, torturing her heart.

"You should understand, right? As long as you live in this world, nothing will change."

"Eri...would never have such thoughts! She...loves life and this world!"

Akiyama Ren's answer was a merciless knight's thrust, the huge force of which knocked Akiyama Ren away on the spot.

"Really? Being forgotten by my family, lying alone in a coma in the hospital, waiting for death that may come at any time, why would I love such a world? Lian, how can I live with these memories?"

"This world is already hell for us."

Ogawa Eri threw away the Knight's Gun, reached into the Knight Card Box with her right hand, pulled out a card and displayed the card face.

Finally arrived.

"Lian, you think so too, don't you? I can feel your sadness and pain. You have been forcing yourself, haven't you?"

Just as he was about to draw his defensive move, Akiyama Lian paused, and his pupils beneath the mask shrank slightly.
