This is not the date I wanted.

A huge clock silently appeared behind Kuang San, and the bangs covering the left side seemed to be blown away by the strong wind.

Meng Yue was surprised to find that the other person's left eye was an inorganic gold clock with numbers and hour hands. And the pointer inside was running counterclockwise.

However, now was not the time to worry about these things. The fierce rage, like diesel fuel ignited by a raging fire, hinted at the beginning of a war.

"Show yourself! 'Ratziel' (Sage of the Dawn)!"

"Come on! 'zaphkiel'!"

The moment the angel was summoned, the most dangerous and fierce battle began.

10 Fierce Battle

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

“Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang—!”

A flintlock rifle in the right hand and a flintlock pistol in the left hand - the two firearms in Tokisaki Kurumi's hands could be called antiques from the 19th century. They fired at high speeds that did not match their image, like a combination of a machine gun and a shotgun. In an instant, Meng Yue was surrounded by a dense barrage of bullets.

Meng Yue lightly tapped the ground with the longbow in her hand. Under the traction of magnetism, endless iron sand surged up from the ground and turned into a flowing shield to block all the bullets.

"Bang! Bang!" The bullets were shredded the moment they entered the iron sand, but still emitted fierce sparks. Meng Yue could feel that the impact of each bullet was enough to penetrate an armored tank.

If it were humans, it would have been turned into a hornet's nest long ago.

but……

"If that's all, it's not good enough!"

In this barren area, the soil contains a very high content of iron sand. For Meng Yue, who can use electromagnetic force to control iron sand to attack, this is undoubtedly a natural ammunition depot.

The iron sand on the ground continued to gather into huge long whips. As fierce as waves, as vicious as pythons, the iron sand attacked from all directions, blocking all retreat routes while biting towards Tokisaki Kurumi.

However, facing the inevitable desperate situation, the smile on Kuang San's face did not change at all, his lips and teeth moved slightly, and he said deeply as if reciting a magic spell:

"Zaphkiel' (Emperor of the Grave) - 'Aleph' (One Bullet)."

A shadow emerged from the "I" of the clock behind Kurumi, filling the chamber of the flintlock pistol.

Under Meng Yue's surprised gaze, Kuang San pointed the gun at his own temple and pulled the trigger hard.

Before Meng Yue could doubt whether the other party was having a seizure, Kuang San, who was originally besieged by the iron sand whip, suddenly appeared in front of her like a cloud of mist, and pointed the gun at her forehead.

Her pupils suddenly shrank, and Meng Yue hurriedly raised the "Sage of Dawn" horizontally. The dark blue bow arm lifted the barrels of the flintlock and flintlock pistol, causing the muzzle to shift upwards.

"Bang! Bang!" Two powerful gunshots passed above him.

Meng Yue's face showed an unprecedented solemn expression. According to the report made by the "Dawn Sage" using electromagnetic detection, Kuang San showed a completely unreasonable fast movement in the previous moment. Before the Iron Sand Whip completely surrounded Kuang San, she passed through the slit of the Iron Sand Whip without any mistake and came in front of her.

Even Yamai, who is famous for his wind manipulation, probably couldn't make such a detailed evasive maneuver at such a high speed.

Meng Yue was certainly not stupid enough to think that Kuang San had done it all by herself. Perhaps it was the angel following behind her, the effect of that bullet.

"Ah~hahaha! This is so funny! So amazing! I didn't expect that among the elves, only Miss Mengyue can use the power of an angel to this extent."

Are you mocking me by saying this when you're suppressing me, you bastard!

At this point, Kuang San was taking advantage of the situation to launch a fierce attack, wielding her flintlock rifle and flintlock pistol like twin swords, constantly slashing at the bow arm of the "Sage of the Dawn".

Although both guns and bows are long-range weapons, guns have a clear advantage from any angle.

Just like the preparation time, even if as an angel you don't need to restock your ammunition or arrows, the time required to pull the bowstring is at least five times that of pulling the trigger.

Moreover, pistols can be used as a distraction weapon in close combat to a certain extent. But a bow is no better than a stick once it is close to the body.

"Bang!" Feeling the sound of gunfire ringing in her ears from time to time, Meng Yue could only sigh helplessly.

In this life, you are destined to never be able to play close combat!

A wall of iron sand suddenly rose from the ground, forcing Kuang San away from Meng Yue. Taking advantage of the opportunity, Meng Yue used magnetism, and a large number of iron sand whips danced wildly again, quickly attacking Kuang San.

Kurumi dodged several times as if jumping in the air, but when she was about to be surrounded by the combination attack of Iron Sand Whip, the golden clock appeared behind Kurumi again, trying to repeat the same trick.

"'Ratziel' (Dawn Sage) - Turret Mode."

The handle was retracted into the body and wrapped around Mengyue's right hand. The dark blue bow arms in the shape of lightning merged forward. Looking from a distance, it looked more like a giant pair of pliers than a turret.

"'Zaphkiel' (Emperor of the Moments) - 'Aleph' (One Bullet)."

Once again, Kuang San, who was surrounded by the Iron Sand Whip, suddenly appeared above Meng Yue like the mist dissipating and condensing.

However, what made Tokisaki Kurumi unbelievable was that Liangyi Mengyue seemed to have predicted her location, and almost at the same time as she appeared, he raised the "Sage of the Dawn" and pointed the muzzle at her abdomen.

"Railgun!"

The iron sand condensed at the muzzle instantly turned into an orange-yellow heat line, piercing a big hole in Kurumi's stomach.

"Why……?"

Facing Kuang San's question, Meng Yue did not answer, because before she answered, Kuang San had already lost his life force.

Why? Actually, it is not difficult to understand. Meng Yue just left a few slightly larger gaps in the encirclement of the Iron Sand Whip, and made those gaps so that she could reach her position as quickly as possible.

Just like when choosing several slices of cake, people will have a psychological tendency to "choose the bigger cake."

Although the ability of Angel Kuang San has not been clarified, according to the detection results of "Sage of Dawn", the other party did not make a direct space jump, but reached Meng Yue's position through evasive movement.

Then everything would be easy. Using the powerful computing power of the "Dawn Sage", Meng Yue designed several routes that seemed less dangerous and more convenient as bait in a very short time, and Tokisaki Kurumi also cooperated and fell into the trap.

Meng Yue's real strength lies not in her powerful hacking ability that can invade the AI ​​of DEM headquarters, nor in her super-electromagnetic cannon that can penetrate the hurricane of the Eight Dance Elves and destroy the strongest magician's mecha, but in her ability to always use her abilities in the most suitable and needed positions, and in her powerful planning ability to strategize step by step in battle and make others fall into traps unknowingly.

The same moves will no longer be effective against saints...or elves.

Looking at Kuang San's already cold body, Meng Yue felt not only disgusted by her first murder, but also more sad.

Although she is the most vicious elf, she is also a young girl in the prime of life.

The elves possess great power, but the price they pay is that they are regarded as a disaster and alien by humans and are excluded from human society.

Unable to become ordinary, unable to experience daily life, the only thing left is a bottomless loneliness that constantly tortures the heart until it drives people crazy.

Perhaps one day, I will no longer be able to bear this pain and will go down the wrong path.

"It's not good to keep her exposed in this wilderness. Let's bury her!"

"Ah~ Miss Mengyue is really a kind person."

A sound that shouldn't have happened came from behind, and Kuang San appeared behind Meng Yue unharmed, with the muzzle of the flintlock pointing at Meng Yue's head.

However, what Kuang San didn't expect was that at the same moment when the muzzle of her gun was pointed at Meng Yue's head, the iron sand on the ground turned into a sharp blade and cut off Kuang San's right hand.

Kuang San did not scream, but hurriedly flew high into the sky. She now understood that in this land rich in iron sand, the entire land could be said to be Meng Yue's territory.

"Zaphkiel' (Emperor of the Grave) - 'Dalet' (Four Bullets)."

The bullet formed at the "IV" position on the angel shot towards herself, and the right hand that was completely separated by Meng Yue with iron sand was immediately connected back to Kuang San's arm as good as new.

"I see, the ability to manipulate time..."

Seeing the way of replying that was like a video tape rewinding, and the high-difficulty evasion that was beyond the common sense of the elves, plus the angel in the form of a clock, Meng Yue immediately understood the other party's ability after connecting several clues.

"You know I'm not dead and you're just acting now?"

Kurumi stared at Mengyue with vigilance. In response to the other party's question, Mengyue shrugged and said, "In the DEM's elf chasing records, there are so many reports of Nightmare's death that I find it unbelievable. I originally set up a defense just in case, but I didn't expect it to come in handy."

"I see. As expected of Miss Meng Yue. You are really smart. Then I will show you something good as a return gift! Come out, 'we'"

Kurumi pretended to express her admiration, grabbed the hem of her skirt and bowed like a lady. From the shadow behind her, a girl who looked exactly like Kurumi kept jumping out. No! It should be Tokisaki Kurumi.

Shadow clone... Well, Meng Yue still knows that this world has nothing to do with the Hokage.

"How do you feel? This is my past, my history, and my appearance in different timelines. As long as she has this ability, Miss Mengyue will never be able to kill me. What do you think? It would be better to surrender early, Miss Mengyue. After all, I don't mean to hurt you."

With a grin on their lips, the "Kuang San" surrounded Meng Yue from all sides, pointing the muzzles of their flintlock rifles at Meng Yue, and persuaded her with seductive words.

"I'm sorry, but I don't like being threatened."

Iron sand whip blades continued to surge from her side and swung at the surrounding "Kuang San".

"Really? Being stubborn is not a wise choice, Miss Mengyue."

With a helpless sigh, the pointer in Kuang San's left eye began to move backwards at an accelerated speed. The position of the flintlock pistol pointed to "VII", and the shadow turned into a black bullet and filled the chamber.

"'Zaphkiel' (Emperor of Keke) - 'Zayin' (Seven Bullets)."

Then, as Kuang San pulled the trigger, the pitch-black bullet drew a trajectory towards Meng Yue.

High speed, accuracy, and ferocity, at such a short distance, even an elf could not dodge the bullet. Meng Yue controlled a blade of iron sand around her to knock the bullet away.

However, this behavior is meaningless. The moment it touches the bullet——

“Huhu, ahahahahahahahaha!”

As Kuang San's triumphant laughter rang out, Meng Yue's body suddenly became motionless.

Not to mention her arms and legs, even her windbreaker that was shaking with the wind pressure, her hair that was fluttering in the air, and the iron sand and lightning that were wrapped around her, all stopped dancing. The iron sand that was dancing in all directions also lost control and scattered on the ground.

"Fufufu, no matter how powerful your strength is or how clever your strategy is, it's meaningless when time stops."

After firing the "Seven Bullets", Kuang San came to Meng Yue and shot her in the limbs, abdomen and chest.

"First, cripple all your limbs. That way everything will be much easier... No!"

Kuang San's smile was replaced by surprise halfway through, because she found that the bullet that hit Meng Yue's body did not leave any blood, let alone a wound.

The effect of the Seventh Bullet faded, and Meng Yue's original figure gradually faded, leaving only scattered iron sand.

The dream moon in front of me is just a projection left by optical deviation.

"What a shame. When time stops, strength does become meaningless, but strategy may not be the same."

Meng Yue's figure appeared outside the encirclement of "Kuang San". The angel in her hand had turned back into the form of a longbow. Violent lightning continued to surge around Meng Yue, rushing madly towards the fingertips holding the bowstring.

Gradually, a bow and arrow that looked like it was carved from the finest blue crystal was placed on the bowstring of the "Sage of Dawn".

Kuang San's face showed trembling, or rather fear. She could clearly feel that the bow and arrow, which looked like a work of art, contained a nearly destructive force of lightning.

"Don't worry, this thing won't aim at you." Meng Yuelai drew the bowstring, slowly moved the arrow towards the sky, with a smile on her lips.

If you simply shoot the arrow at Kurumi, an ordinary railgun can also achieve a similar effect, and the consumption is smaller. This arrow will at least consume half of Meng Yue's spiritual power.

A ray of light flashed into the sky, and the next moment, countless dark clouds blocked the sunlight and covered the barren land. It was desolate, cold, and dark, as if the end of the world had come.

"Destroy everything! Thunder and lightning!"

Just like a judgment made by the gods, the next moment, the world in Kuang San's eyes was engulfed by endless thunder and lightning.

11 Phantom

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

"Uh, I accidentally overdid it."

Meng Yue looked at everything in front of her. If this was originally just a wasteland with little life, now it has completely turned into a dark scorched earth. She is afraid that no living creatures will be able to survive in this area for decades.

With a helpless sigh, Meng Yue sat on the ground with a tired look on her face and shouted, "Kuang San, come out. I know you are not dead. Don't worry, I am no longer interested in fighting."

"I hope Miss Mengyue is not joking, otherwise I won't be able to bear it if she continues to beat me."

Although she was just giving it a try, Tokisaki Kurumi actually responded to Meng Yue's words and slowly emerged from the shadows.

"…You monster."

"This is really rude. I don't want to hear this from Miss Mengyue."

The two of them stared into each other's eyes. Looking at Kuang San's seductive yet indifferent ruby-like right eye, Meng Yue really couldn't imagine that the other party was a nearly crazy girl.

Moreover, Mengyue and Kuang San do not have any substantial grudges. Although Mengyue is disgusted by those guys who have killed countless people, she does not hate them or want to avenge them.

Sacrificing one's life for someone who is completely insignificant is either a hypocrite who makes people do evil, or a naive fool. Unfortunately, Meng Yue does not belong to either of these categories.

"Tell me what you want to know from me. As long as it doesn't violate my principles, I will consider it."

After a battle, Meng Yue's frenzy gradually calmed down and she spoke calmly.

"I'm really grateful." After a light laugh, Kuang San's face showed an extremely serious expression for the first time, and said, "I want to know the location of the second elf in the world that was imprisoned by the DEM Society."

The elves are trapped?

Meng Yue frowned, and kept going through the various information she had obtained from DEM in her mind. Then she shook her head and said.

"There is no information about the imprisoned elf you mentioned recorded in DEM's computer. If what you said is true, I'm afraid DEM has not recorded the information of this elf. However, there are indeed a few places that make people feel suspicious."

"What's suspicious?"
