Chapter 1111: Crazed state, a scream of hatred
Tobiichi Origami got the shock of her life when she arrived at the center of the spacequake.
Alas, before she can confirm the identity of the five individuals at the site of destruction, brilliant lights of red, black, violet, and blue shot into the sky. The AST members had to slow down as they narrowed their eyes from the dazzling lights.
When the display of intense lights dimmed down, the AST members finally got a good look at the spirits there.
There's a young lady in a silk robe, she had horns and she's enveloped in flames…Next, there's a raven-haired lady in a red and black goth dress. She had a pair of flintlocks and a musket. Her uneven twintails made her stand out.
Then, there is a beautiful girl in an elegant armor-dress suit, she's shining in an enchanting violet light while adorning purple crystal hair accessories.
Finally, there's a young girl in a green rabbit hoodie wrapped in a frosty aura. She also had a puppet on her hand.
Interestingly, there is a normal-looking guy in a black shirt and pants standing near the spirits. He is not exuding any discernable aura.
"F-five spirits?!"
"How is this possible…"
"Five spirits at once…"
"How do we against an assembly like this?"
The AST girls were hesitant except for Origami. They almost screamed in dread. Their boosters are still thrusting forward but they kept their distances with the spirits.
Normally, the AST can only handle one spirit even with all their members mobilized. Even so, they can barely handle a single spirit. They are only there to keep the spirit busy until said spirit vanishes.
Their combat-use Realizers can only fight on par with the weakest known spirit, Hermit. The AST members combined can only handle a weak spirit.
Against five spirits, forget AST, even the mighty DEM would find it nigh impossible to subjugate five spirits at the same time.
A serious fight would only result in single-sided extermination of the Wizards.
"Princess, Nightmare, Hermit…"
Kusakabe Ryouko, the leader of the AST could feel a sense of helplessness and dizziness gripping her core. She started clenching her teeth.
"That's Efreet, right? That man, isn't he the Red Demon?! Damn! When did spirits start moving together? How are we supposed to fight five spirits?!"
The other AST members also backed away. The AST aren't cowards, they are just up against an impossible line-up.
Forget Hermit for now, Princess is an AAA-class spirit. They are not confident enough to take down Princess with the entire squad mobilized.
Efreet is a flame spirit. While she had evaded detection for years, her danger is still AA-class, higher than Hermit.
Even so, they are not spirits known for killing humans. Nightmare, however, is a very dangerous and evil spirit.
She's a known murderer and her danger class is S-class. She killed over 10,000 humans.
It might be a gruesome fight in an AST vs Nightmare scenario, however, she's not alone, there are multiple spirits here. How is anyone supposed to come out of this one victorious?
What's more, the only known male spirit titled the Red Demon is also present. He's a mysterious spirit whose danger classification is still pending confirmation.
It seems like he's leading the spirits so he must be strong, right?
The AST aren't dumb enough to assume a positive scenario.
Origami is also pale in shock. The other AST members were petrified in fear.
She's not afraid. No, Ryouko's words filled her mind with one thing.
"Efreet… Efreet… Efreet…"
She's completely focused on Kotori who is enveloped in flames. She repeated her name, her eyes were bloodshot with malice.
She ignored the other squad members around her. She immediately dived down at Kotori. Ryouko couldn't stop her in time. She's already in a manic state.
"Efreet!!!"
"Wait! Origami!"
Wu Yan & co didn't expect someone to come diving towards them while shrieking like a banshee. Origami already arrived in front of Kotori before they can react. She lifted her laser sword and immediately swung down at Kotori's head.
"You…"
Deeply concerned by the overt hostility coming from Origami, she raised her arm against the sword strike. Flames wrapped her arm.
Ding
Her magical flames blocked the laser sword. She grabbed the laser sword with her flaming hand. Red flames appeared in Kotori's eyes.
"To think you're bold enough to rush us despite this situation. Origami Tobiichi, you're as surprising as ever. You are just as amusing though…"
Kotori snickered despite Origami Tobiichi leering at her.
"I heard you hated spirits very much. I didn't think your problem was this serious. I underestimated you…"
"Efreet… Efreet… Efreet!"
Tobiichi Origami bit down on her lips. No matter how she tried, her strength failed to inch the sword closer to Kotori's face. She threw away her weapon, opting to use her cannon instead.
Boom
The cannon struck Kotori at point-blank. Thick smock enveloped Tobiichi Origami and Kotori.
"Origami!"
Ryouko balled her palms into fists.
"That idiot!"
Ryouko ordered the other AST members.
"What are you girls standing around for?! Go help her!"
The AST members started diving downward. A lone individual blocked their paths.
"Ara ara…"
Kurumi walked in the air nonchalantly. She glanced at the AST members, her sly grin couldn't hide the malevolent glint in her eyes.
"I don't know what's going on but it looks like things are a little bit too complicated. I would like it if you girls don't interrupt them…"
Kurumi warned them.
"I might get angry if you do."
"Nightmare…"
With a grim look on her face, the captain decided to heed the warning of the most terrible spirit.
The smoke started to dissipate, revealing the aftermath.
Kotori is still wrapped in flames, she came out unscathed.
Kotori grabbed Tobiichi Origami by her neck. She struggled while suspended in the air.
