Just as Mana and Kurumi's main body were locked in a tense standoff, the atmosphere taut as a drawn bowstring, ready to snap at any moment—
"Buzz—!!!"
A beam of deep blue light, far thicker and more condensed than any previous attack, containing a pure will for destruction, suddenly struck the empty ground in the center of the battlefield from high altitude, like a spear of judgment hurled by a god!
BOOM!!!
A deafening explosion sounded, the earth trembled violently, and soil and debris were churned up like a fountain by the violent energy, forming a massive, scorched crater!
The shockwave spread outwards in a ring, forcing both the AST members and the Spirits present to retreat several steps to stabilize themselves.
Before the smoke and dust could dissipate, a figure descended from the sky like a falling star, landing heavily on the edge of the crater.
Golden hair whipped wildly in the blast wave, and her DEM exclusive Realizer unit, which highlighted her competence and power, remained spotless.
Ellen Mathers held her light sword, her murderous intent, cold and palpable, sweeping over the entire area like a storm. Her sharp eyes scanned the crowd, finally settling on "Welt" and Kurumi.
"This boring stalemate should end."
Her voice was not loud, but it carried absolute authority and bone-chilling coldness.
"Since you have all gathered here, I will deal with you all at once to save trouble."
She didn't even look at Chinatsu, who was being "protected" by the AST, because in her view,
whether or not this transfer student was problematic, she was a secondary target until the clear threats were eliminated.
"Takamiya Mana!" Ellen ordered without turning her head, her tone leaving no room for doubt.
"Stick to the original plan, take your people, and go all out to kill Nightmare! Spare no expense!"
"Yes, Madam Ellen!"
Mana's spirit lifted, and she immediately led her squad members, their Realizer units operating at full power, rushing toward Kurumi's main body and clone like arrows leaving a bow!
"As for you, 'Herrscher of Reason'..." Ellen's gaze was like two ice picks, stabbing fiercely at "Welt," who had just recovered and whose aura was not yet fully stable.
"I will personally confirm how many times you can withstand the 'Creator Reverser's' correction!"
The light sword in her hand burst forth with dazzling light, and the DEM combatants behind her also descended.
They fanned out, their powerful Spirit energy fluctuations locking onto "Welt," clearly preparing to launch a coordinated attack.
(This is trouble!) The moment Ellen appeared, Kurumi's expression completely darkened.
(Ellen Mathers, that monster, has personally arrived... and brought so many elites... If I fight head-on, even if I escape, I will inevitably pay an unbearable price. I cannot waste my 'Time' like this anymore!)
Her eyes flickered rapidly, and she instantly made a decision. Her golden clock eye met "Welt's" gaze for a fleeting moment.
No words were exchanged, but an understanding based on the mutual recognition between top predators was instantly reached—this was no place to linger!
Just as Ellen was about to wave her hand to launch an attack, and Mana's light sword was about to strike Kurumi—
"Welt" and Kurumi simultaneously and unreservedly poured their immense Spirit energy in reverse into the surrounding spatial structure!
Buzz—!!!
