Ex-Machina in Dimensional Travel

Just like facing other elves.

There was no way she could escape tonight, so Kotori chose to face her alone.

I don't know how long it took.

The streets were very quiet at night, and there were no other pedestrians on the road at this time.

Tonight, there is no moon in the sky. Without the moonlight, darkness has taken over the world. The only light on the road is provided by street lamps, which makes people feel depressed.

Kotori kept walking like this until...

clatter......

She stopped.

In her field of vision, a hooded figure was sitting on the streetlight in front of her, looking down at her.

The color of the clothes on his body blended perfectly into the darkness. If you didn't look carefully, you wouldn't be able to tell that there was someone sitting on it.

From her perspective, and with the blessing of the night, she saw a pair of glowing eyes beneath the hood...

Chapter 23 Out of Control

Shul stood up and looked down at Qinli from above the street light.

A pair of glowing eyes stood out in the darkness. A gust of wind suddenly appeared and blew off his hood.

The device above his head projected a circle, reflecting on his head.

Like a killing angel descending from the darkness of the night.

The cold expression made Qin Li feel invisible pressure.

"Oh, you're here."

Kotori sneered and spoke first.

"[Question] Just..."

"Ah, yes, I am the Flame Demon, so it's my turn this time, right?"

Before Shul could finish, Kotori interrupted him.

"..."

To be honest, even Xiuer felt a little unhappy about being interrupted, but it was no big deal.

"—[Tian Kai]—[Accelerator]—"

A golden portal opened in the ground beneath the streetlight.

After taking a look at Kotori, Shuul jumped from the streetlight and into the passage below.

The meaning is clear, now it depends on what she does.

This might be a good opportunity to escape?

No, that's not possible.

Kotori knew that the other party did this in order not to harm civilians. After all, this area was still a residential area. If the two of them started a war here, innocent people would definitely be hurt.

And if I run away now, I probably won't be able to escape because the other party is opening portals everywhere.

So, Qin Li could only sigh and then jumped in.

......

Passing through the golden passage, Kotori was able to see the scene on the other side.

"here it is......?"

Facing Shul's challenge, Qinli was nervous, but it did not stop her from being curious about this place.

"【Answer】It's an unnamed island. Fighting here won't affect civilians, and won't be discovered by anyone."

"Oh, I have to say, those people behind you still have some conscience in this regard."

Yes, Kotori, Shidou, and everyone else truly believed that there were other forces behind Shuul.

Shul did not respond to this.

Silently summoned [Pseudo-Classic: Ao Sha Gong].

A large sword decorated with gold trim appeared in his hand, the tip of the sword pointing directly at Kotori.

"Alas, it seems that the plan has to be advanced."

As a last resort, Kotori chose to take back all her spiritual power. At this moment, the original seal began to break, and the spiritual power belonging to [Flame Demon] Kotori once again returned to her body.

And therefore, from this moment on, Shidao will lose the protection of the healing flame.

Flames suddenly ignited on Kotori's body, the scorching flames enveloped her and turned the surrounding environment into a sea of ​​fire.

Afterwards, I should find Shidou and explain everything to him, and then I must put my own sealing plan on the agenda immediately.

Kotori thought so.

Changes in temperature cannot affect Shuul.

Although Kotori's characteristics make her the most durable among the elves, she has the ability to continuously heal herself, and she has an extremely strong madness after going berserk.

According to Shul's calculations, the battle with Kotori will probably be the longest one yet.

Fortunately, he didn't need to knock the opponent down. As long as he had enough time, he would be able to analyze and copy Kotori's power.

And this is exactly his purpose.

When the flames died down, Kotori was dressed in a different outfit.

The swaying feathers and the burning kimono constituted her spiritual attire. There was also a pair of inorganic giant horns like those of evil spirits on the hairbands on both sides.

Her red hair swayed and fluttered in the flames, which surrounded her body like the hem of a dress.

This is the second time that Kotori appears in the world as the Flame Demon.

She held in her hand a huge battle axe that was twice as long as her. It was the angel after she turned into an elf, the Angel of Fire, the Burning Demon Slayer.

At this moment, Kotori's aura no longer had the worry it had before. Now that she had transformed into an elf, she was filled with passion as blazing as fire.

The two looked at each other speechlessly.

It was Kotori who took the first step, and Shuul had no intention of taking the initiative.

The huge axe was engulfed in flames. If it hit someone, they would probably be cut in two and burned to ashes by the flames.

But to Xuer, it poses no threat at all.

Facing the giant axe coming towards him, Xuer swung the Ao Sha Gong in the opposite direction.

As the giant axe and the giant sword collided, a huge noise echoed throughout the isolated island.

The recoil from the collision between the weapons caused Qin Li's palm to ache, and her brows were filled with a serious expression.

In terms of strength, can't compare?

Seeing Shuel's unchanging ease, Qin Li felt really unsure.

Strange, why do I feel a hint of coldness?

At this moment, Kotori suddenly noticed that there was ice attached to the axe blade that burned the demon.

This is!

Alarm bells rang in her heart, and before Kotori could react, Shuul's attack was already in front of her.

Kotori had to hastily raise the giant axe to block in front of her. Aosagong's sword hit the axe, and the huge force forced her to retreat a few steps.

However, from this moment on, the advantage that Kotori had previously gained was gone, and the rhythm of the battle was completely controlled by Shuul.

Attacks came from different angles, swift and precise.

From one sword at the beginning to five swords, ten swords, and twenty swords later.

Shul's attack speed was getting faster and faster, and because she was too busy defending, Kotori couldn't find any chance to fight back!

During this process, she finally saw the source of the cold.

At some point, a layer of ice attached to the blade of the giant sword in the opponent's hand, making every attack like the burning ghost-killing attack with fire attached, with a chill attached.

Every time she blocked an attack from Shuul, the cold air flowed along the blade and spread to the angel in Qinli.

This is Yoshino's ability!

Kotori understood everything immediately, but even knowing this, it couldn't reverse the fact that she was suppressed.

......

As the battle became more and more intense, under the intensity of Shuul's storm-like attack, areas of ice began to appear on Qinli's body.

That was proof of the unstoppable attack that passed through his body.

Although there is a healing flame that can heal wounds, for some reason, due to the influence of ice, the recovery rate is far slower than before.

To be honest, Kotori's fighting skills are not that great. The only reason she has been able to remain undefeated is thanks to the help of the Healing Flame.

However, as the time of using the ability gets longer and longer, Kotori's current mental state is not very good.

“Ha…ha…wu…”

Due to the long period of high-intensity combat, Qin Li's consciousness was dazed for a moment.

And at this moment, Xuer seized the opportunity when her goal was wide open.

He rushed forward and broke directly into Qinli's inner circle. At this distance, the huge battle axe became a burden. At this moment, she was unable to defend herself at all.

At this moment, Shuul was holding the sword with both hands, the huge sword parallel to his body, the tip of the sword pointing directly at Qinli's heart...

Pfft!

As the sound of a sharp weapon piercing flesh rang out, Aosakou passed through the middle of Qinli's body and pinned her to the ground.

In the end, Kotori was still trying to avoid the attack, and the blade did deviate from its target and pierced the side of her heart instead.

Even so, even if the heart was pierced, Qin Li's regenerative ability would probably allow her to recover on her own. The coldness of the sword also penetrated her body through the wound.

With her regenerative ability as strong as that of a phoenix, even now that her body was pierced, Qin Li's vitality did not diminish in the slightest.

But at this time, she could no longer maintain her sanity.

Violent emotions filled her heart, and her eyes no longer had the same expression as before. At this moment, the consciousness of Kotori fell asleep, leaving only a beast that had lost its mind...

Chapter 24: BOSS Phase 2

Kotori stormed off.

This is the conclusion drawn by Shul.

Under his detection, the spiritual power in Qinli's body became chaotic.

Qin Li's spirit crystal is not stable. Therefore, if she uses her spiritual power for too long, she will go into a rampage state and her original personality will become extremely belligerent.

Just like now.

Ignoring the giant sword stuck in her body, Kotori grabbed the sword and pulled herself out.

Suddenly, blood splattered everywhere, accompanied by the terrifying sound of flesh being torn.

Of course, Xuer couldn't really watch the other party go on like this, so he immediately pulled out his Aosao Gong and gave the other party a roundhouse kick, sending him flying.

Because of Kotori's action, the giant sword tore half of her body apart, but fortunately, Shuul pulled out the weapon in time, preventing the opponent's body from being torn in half. After all, even if it could be restored, it would look creepy, and because of this, Kotori was able to break free from the shackles.

This scene really shocked Xiuer.

He knew that Kotori was crazy in this state, but he didn't expect her to be this crazy. It was beyond his expectations.

After breaking away, Kotori didn't stop and immediately rushed forward with the Burning Demon Killer in hand.

Half of her body was covered in blue flames, which was a sign that the healing flame was repairing her body. At this moment, with a face full of madness and a huge axe in hand, Kotori attacked like a fire demon from hell.

Xuul, who had already analyzed the opponent's fighting style, continued to respond in the same way as before.
