This is not the date I wanted.

Meng Yue replied.

"…Are you kidding me?"

Staring at Mengyue with murderous eyes, "Tohka"'s voice was filled with raging anger.

"I'm dead serious."

Looking directly into Tohka's eyes without fear, Meng Yue declared firmly.

"I'm here to take Tohka home."

As soon as he finished speaking, a dark sword energy attacked Meng Yue directly.

Relying on the ability of "future prediction", Meng Yue easily dodged the slash, leaving only a deep gully on the reddish-brown ground.

Mengyue could feel that Shixiang's previous attack was undoubtedly intended to kill her directly.

"Take Tohka home...are you worthy of saying that?"

The pitch-black giant sword pointed directly at Mengyue, "Shixiang" said disdainfully.

"That girl... Tohka. Because she believed that man and your lies, she was so desperate that she ran away from everything. If I had known it would be like this, I would not have met you in the first place! Now you actually want to take Tohka back?! Do you think I will agree?"

"So you want Tohka to stay like this forever?!"

Meng Yue roared with a momentum that was no less powerful than "Tohka".

"Let her just give up on herself and escape from everything. Kill all the lives that approach her and try to touch her! Do you think Tohka will feel relieved by this? Do you think she would want you to do this for her?"

"Tsk, same old annoying mouth."

Hearing Mengyue's sophistry, "Shixiang" clenched her teeth in displeasure.

“If that’s the case, it’s much better than having unnecessary expectations instilled in me by you and then being severely hurt! Get out of here! Don’t let me see you again—!?”

Suddenly, almost instinctively, Tohka turned her head away and made an evasive move.

Then in the next moment, the violent lightning flashed across her cheek at lightning speed, and the skin that was slightly touched immediately lost consciousness due to the intense numbness.

Unexpectedly, Meng Yue would suddenly attack during the conversation, and not sensing any hostility, "Tohka" was caught off guard.

"What does it mean?"

"Shixiang" looked at Mengyue with shock and anger.

"…There's nothing surprising about that. You were the one who made the first move, and this is just a return gesture."

Meng Yue answered as a matter of course, summoning the spiritual equipment and angels.

"It's a simple truth. Since verbal communication doesn't work, let's just speak with strength."

As she spoke, countless electric lights surged all over Meng Yue's body, and they kept jumping as if she was provoking "Shixiang".

"I'm strong! Stronger than Shidou, and stronger than you! So, you say, should the task of protecting Tohka be given to someone who is stronger?"

"Hehehe - Hahaha! I almost forgot, you are such an idiot!"

As if stimulated by Mengyue's arrogant declaration, "Shixiang" trembled slightly, and replied with a smile on her face.

"Well, since you want to die so badly, I'll help you do it!!"

12 The Tyrannical Swordsman (Part )

==============================

The dust wind direction has changed.

This was not a naturally occurring weather phenomenon. Under the pressure of the two elves' enormous spiritual power, the sand that was originally floating in the wind seemed to have lost gravity and was suspended in the air, shaking constantly, and forming a clear dividing line.

The reddish-brown earth was constantly swaying like a wheat field blown by the wind. The iron sand particles separated and gathered from it, forming dozens of huge black pythons. With enough cutting force to cut through a building, they pounced on "Shixiang" from all directions.

"Little tricks."

In response, "Tohka" simply snorted disdainfully, used a barrier to temporarily isolate the iron sand from the outside, and then clenched the "Tyranny Prince" in his hand.

One sword. "Shixiang" did not make any complicated movements, he just raised the Demon King and slashed forward, the majestic sword energy shook off the iron sand that was entangled, and swept away all the dust that blocked the vision, splitting a road directly to Mengyue.

"Shixiang" bent down and swooped down, and came in front of Mengyue.

"Die."

The "Tyrannical Duke" followed the momentum and slashed out, cruelly cutting through Meng Yue's neck, splitting her in two.

However, there was no feeling of cutting off the head in her hands. Touxiang was surprised to find that Mengyue's body faded and disappeared like smoke.

(Hallucination?)

Tohka frowned in surprise.

However, before she could think about it, a super-electromagnetic cannon suddenly burst out from the void behind her.

If it were someone else, they would have been hit hard. However, Shixiang relied on her extraordinary intuition and outstanding reflexes to react immediately after the artillery fire, and used her brute force to rotate "Tyranny" to take Mengyue's artillery fire.

——Michael（封解主）——【开】.

Without a moment to catch her breath, a door suddenly opened in front of Shixiang, and Liangyi Mengyue leaned out of the door and stabbed at her with a key-shaped scepter.

Having fought against Rokuko before, Tohka naturally understood the consequences of being stabbed by the angel, but facing Mengyue's attack, she closed her eyes.

Blocking out the misleading visual information, Tohka soon realized that the location of the spiritual wave emitted by the angel was slightly deviated.

"caught you!"

Tohka waved her left hand in the air and grabbed the handle of "Seal Master" tightly, and held "Tyranny Prince" in her right hand and slashed towards the left side of her body.

"——!?"

Seeing that "Shixiang" caught "Feng Jie Zhu" with bare hands, Meng Yue was a little surprised. She obviously didn't expect that the other party would break her trick so quickly and directly launched a counterattack.

Of course, Meng Yue couldn't just surrender like that.

——Future predictions.

Without hesitation, he let go of the "Sealing Master". Meng Yue "Sage of Dawn" predicted the sword path, nimbly dodged all of Tohka's attacks, and jumped back.

"Don't even think about running away!"

"Tohka" wanted to give chase, but at this moment, her feet were caught by something and she was unable to take a step as she wished.

Shixiang looked down and found that her feet had been frozen by solid ice without her knowing.

"Methratton"

Meng Yue's whisper rang in his ears, and the next second, countless "feathers" appeared out of thin air and surrounded "Shixiang" from all directions.

"——!?"

Tohka's pupils suddenly contracted.

"——Kadour (Lightsaber)."

As soon as the words fell, the "Angel of Extinction" poured out a pure white laser rain with the momentum that seemed to shoot "Tohka" into a hornet's nest.

After a round of shooting, Mengyue took back the "Angel of Extinction" and observed the situation of "Tohka".

Although there were a lot of damages on Tohka's spiritual outfit, she was not seriously injured. Her eyes, as sharp as eagle claws, still stared at Mengyue without showing any weakness.

"You managed to hold on. You're amazing, Tohka."

Meng Yue couldn't help but praise.

"...Humph, nothing more than that."

After taking a deep breath, "Tohka" said with a cold face.

"Michael (Lord of the Sealing), Zadkiel (Ice Puppet), Methratton (Angel of Extinction)... I see. Before you came to me, you had already taken away all the powers of the other spirits, right?"

"To be precise, it's not 'all', but 'most'."

Meng Yue shrugged and said.

"To avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, let me explain first. I didn't kill them. I just took out the spirit crystals and turned them back into ordinary people."

"Hey... Is this your method? How ridiculous. If this is the reason for your confidence, then you are totally wrong."

As if she understood something, "Tohka" couldn't help but sneer.

"No matter how many angels you have, I will destroy them and your confidence."

"..."

Hearing Tohka's intimidation, Mengyue did not answer, but silently took out the blue metal card and inserted it into her angel.

[Tactical display unit——Verification code AW214——Wizard system connection completed——Are you ready?]

"Transformation."

[Armament complete! Magcial Rider——Th!Th!Th!Th!Thor. 】

Along with the electronic prompt sound from the "Sage of Dawn", the magician mecha named "Thor" was equipped on Mengyue, and the mechanical bow in her hand was divided into two swords and held in her hands.

"——!?"

Seeing Meng Yue's changes, Shi Xiang couldn't help but widen her eyes. But the emotion in her eyes was not fear, but anger.

She clearly felt that after putting on that set of armor, Meng Yue not only did not become stronger, but instead became several levels weaker, as if she was burdened with an exaggerated weight.

"Are you kidding me? Are you looking down on me?!"

"Please don't misunderstand me. I have always been very serious."

Facing Tohka's furious rebuke, Meng Yue seemed very calm.

"Before I found you, I had defeated several reversal elves. Without exception, they lost their original human sanity and became as brutal as beasts. Only you are different. Even after the reversal, you still have the intelligence to talk. I originally thought that it was just a simple individual difference, but now it seems that there is a fundamental difference between you and other elves. And Tohka, after the confrontation just now, you should have realized that you are no match for me."

"..."

Shixiang's face darkened and she said nothing. But this silent silence undoubtedly acknowledged Mengyue's guess.

In fact, it is true. Although "Tohka" has always shown a strong and domineering attitude on the surface, in the brief confrontation just now, both the injuries and the consumption of spiritual power have reached a relatively dangerous level.

She was talking to Meng Yue now to buy time to catch her breath and recover. Otherwise, she would not bother to listen to Meng Yue's nonsense and would just chop him up with her knife.

Yes, although I really don't want to admit it, if the battle just now continues, "Tohka" will lose.

but--

"But even so, you still showed an attitude of fighting. After I explained the method of extracting spirit crystals, your hostility became even more obvious. In addition, according to the intelligence we obtained before, if it is not for the reason of maintaining the dignity of the strong, there is only one reason for you to fight me to the death."

Having said that, Meng Yue couldn't help but sigh and asked "Shixiang".

"If I do this, Tohka can't be saved... No, I should say she will die, right?"

"…Throat? What if I say yes? What if I say no?"

"Tohka" did not answer, but asked a mysterious question instead.

"No matter. Whether you admit it or not, my plan will not change."

Meng Yue pointed the blade at "Tohka" and answered affirmatively.

"I've told you before. The outcome of a battle is not simply a matter of life and death. Last time, I lost so badly that you couldn't get over it. This time, I want to win so that you will be convinced. Then, tell me the information you want in person, and then - find a way to save Tohka."

Hearing Mengyue's answer, "Shixiang" was stunned at first, and then a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth involuntarily.

"Humph—you are indeed an idiot."

Gripping the Demon King tightly in his hand, "Tohka" rushed towards Mengyue with a burning fighting spirit.

"If you can do it, give it a try!"

Just like that, the sharp blades of the devil and the angel collided heavily.

13 The Tyrannical Swordsman (Part )

==============================

"Tohka" does not advocate the use of force like those so-called "battle maniacs".

I just plain hate humans.

The human who pesters and hurts the child endlessly; the human who deceives the child with a smooth tongue. "Shixiang" hates them from the bottom of his heart.

No matter if it was evil or good, in the end, it brought pain and sorrow to the child.
