In mid-air, Origami watched the scene coldly. She was indifferent to them, just staring at Tohka, approaching slowly as if gliding in the air. Then she looked down at Tohka and opened her lips slightly:
"Tohka, I will defeat you."
"Tobiichi... Origami, you bastard."
Tohka gave a sharp look, and Origami leisurely raised her right hand toward the sky.
Then she called out an unfamiliar name, one that even Origami herself didn't know how she knew.
"——Metatron[Angel of Extinction]." As if in response to Origami's call, several beams of light shot out from the sky after the sun set, surrounding Origami. Those beams gradually took on real images, each transforming into a cold, slender feather-like object with a very technological feeling. When Origami raised her hands and closed them, those slender objects connected into a circle, floating quietly above her head.
It is shaped like a crown wearing on Origami head.
Tohka's brows furrowed as she watched this scene.
Tohka looked up at the sky and screamed, "Tobiichi... Origami, why did you turn into a spirit?!"
Tohka didn't know what Origami went through after being knocked away by her.
But what is certain now is that Origami is now a spirit.
"Spirit...Spirit..." Origami murmured softly, repeating what Tohka said, then looked down at her hands and body with a hazy look.
"Really... Is that so?" Origami lowered her eyes, as if she was talking to herself.
"But, even if this is the case, it doesn't matter." As she spoke, Origami suddenly widened her eyes and gave Tohka a gaze as sharp as a sword.
"Then use this power that belongs to the spirits to defeat them. Become a spirit that kills spirits, and defeat all spirits - and finally get rid of me, the last spirit."
As soon as she finished speaking, Origami opened her hands. As if in accordance with her movements, the front of the crown on her head stretched out and formed a ring like the sun.
"Angel of Extinction - [Metatron]."
Origami declared calmly. Instantly, the circular angel that unfolded above her head began to spin, scattering light particles around.
"Hmm..." Tohka opened her left hand and used her spiritual power to create a protective wall around her. A moment later, the numerous light particles released by the Origami angel poured down in all directions.
It was a beautiful, massive rain of destruction. Each strike was a powerful block of spiritual energy, pouring down by the thousands, ravaging the ground continuously. The streets, the cars parked on the roadside, the houses lined up one after another. The angels treated everyone equally. The familiar residential landscape collapsed easily like a foam model.
"… …" Tohka looked at this and frowned slightly.
Although the protective wall constructed by Tohka's spiritual power barely blocked the wave of attacks, the situation would be futile if it continued like this. Tohka tightened her grip on Sandalphon, knowing that she would be hit by several rounds of attacks, she still split the protective wall from the inside.
"Hahahhhhhh!" With a sharp momentum like tearing silk, Tohka swung the sword down and released energy strikes along the trajectory drawn by the swing.
Origami raised her eyebrows slightly and pointed a finger downwards.
Then the ring that originally released the light particles began to decompose, and immediately turned into a shield in front of Origami, deflecting Tohka's slash.
At that moment, the attack of the light particles was interrupted. Tohka took the opportunity to kick the ground and flew straight into the air to approached Origami.
"Take this!!" Tohka didn't have the energy to show any mercy. She held the Sandalphon with both hands and slashed at Origami with all her might.
However, there was no feeling of hitting anything. The moment Sandalphon touched Origami's spirit outfit, Origami's figure turned into a beam of light and disappeared without a trace, then reappeared several meters behind the original location.
"What...!"
Tohka wasn't the only one who stared with wide eyes in panic. Origami, who dodged the attack, also showed a look of astonishment. It seemed that this was also beyond Origami's expectations.
Origami stared at her hands and muttered unhappily: "——Monster." She was talking about herself at this moment...
She frowned, clenched her fist, and raised her hand upwards.
"[Mal'akh]!" The Angels of Extinction gathered again and transformed into the shape of wings behind Origami.
Origami flapped the wings of the Angel of Extinction and instantly escaped backward.
At the same time, several rays of light burst out from the front of the Angel of Extinction, which had transformed into wings, and attacked Tohka.
"Damn it...!" Tohka yelled angrily, then swung the Sandalphon.
It was too late to open the protective wall──and Tohka intuitively realized that with the level of her spiritual power protective wall, it would most likely not be able to block this wave of attacks.
She used her slashing skills to deflect the approaching arrows of light. However, there were too many of them. The rays of light that she could not block pierced Tohka's left shoulder and right foot.
"Huh---Ah---!" Intense pain. She knew without even looking that her spiritual outfit was broken.
However, Origami did not slacken her attack. She swung her hand straight down, and the wings spread out behind her flew up and down, left and right.
"[Kadour]!" Origami shouted loudly, and the shattered Angels ran freely in the air on tracks as if they had their own independent wills, releasing light from all directions, giving people the illusion of being imprisoned in a cage made of light grids.
"Ugh...!" Tohka waved the Sandalphon and shot down the artillery fire that was continuously coming from all directions.
However, it was impossible to shoot them all down. The rays of light carried the will to destroy, and they attacked Tohka's back, waist, and hands one after another, and Tohka's armor gradually shattered.
"it hurts… …"
If she continued like this, she would only be tortured on one side. Tohka glared at Origami with a painful expression, and then kicked her into the air with all her might.
Having to stop Tohka's attack, the Angel of Extinction launched a more intense attack on Tohka, but Tohka completely ignored it.
Even though she was attacked in the abdomen and shot through the legs, Tohka never looked away and rushed towards Origami.
"HAAHHH!!!!"
Tohka shouted loudly, and swung " Sandalphon " to chop at Origami from bottom to top.
However, it was the same mistake again. The moment the blade was about to touch Origami, her figure turned into light and disappeared, avoiding Tohka's attack. A moment later, Origami's body was constructed again at a slightly farther distance, just like before.
But - this was also within Tohka's expectations. Tohka let go of Sandalphon and used the momentum to twist her body in the air.
"Hahhhhhhhhh!" She put all his strength into beating Origami's face with his bare hands as she reappeared in mid-air.
"Gah...ah..." Origami vomited out a painful cry, her face twisted. Something like a white fragment flew out of Origami's mouth. Maybe it was a lost molar.
The spirit Tohka threw a right straight punch with all her might. If Origami hadn't turned into a spirit, this fatal blow would have probably torn her head and body apart, or even shattered her. She succeeded in giving her a blow. Tohka clenched her fist and snorted.
But there was no chance to pursue the victory. Origami shook her head vaguely, transformed the Angel of Extinction into wings again, and quickly create distance between them. "Tsk" - Tohka landed directly on the ground and raised her right hand to the side.
Soon, the " Sandalphon " that she had just thrown away fell from the sky and was firmly in her hands.
Tohka looked up at Origami from the ground and wiped the blood from her mouth. Although she had been hurt to some extent, it was obvious that Tohka was more seriously injured. If she continued to fight in the same way, it would be very disadvantageous for Tohka.
In this case──there is only one thing Tohka can do.
" Final Sword: Halvanhelev!" Tohka called out the angel's name and stomped her heels hard on the ground.
The name refers to more than just the sword that Tohka holds. As if responding to Tohka's call, the ground rises up, and a huge throne that is taller than Tohka appears from it.
Instantly, the throne had several cracks and broke into pieces. Then, the fragments attached to the sword held by Tohka one by one - forming a slender and huge sword body.
If she had simply launched a blow, Origami would have dodged it with her unique ability. However, Origami would not be stupid enough to fall for the same trick again.
In other words, Tohka decided to use her strongest attack that destroyed even the place where Origami turned into light and avoided in one go.
Perhaps Origami also sensed Tohka's intention, and changed the Angel of Extinction that had transformed into wings back to its original crown form, with the tip pointing downwards - in Tohka's direction.
Tohka could vaguely understand what this meant. Origami decided to also use her strongest attack.
"Tobiichi Origami!" Sensing Origami's intention, Tohka shouted to the sky: "I'll ask you again! You and I - can't we understand each other?!"
"…You must be joking." Origami replied with a tragic look on her face.
For some reason, Tohka felt that she looked like a sobbing child no matter how she looked at her.
"My will will not change, my mission will not change. The spirits are all denied by me!" After hearing what Origami said, Tohka took a deep breath.
"Really? Then there's nothing we can do." She slowly raised the [Halvanhelev], and the sword body was gradually wrapped in a dark light.
"—I'm going to teach you a lesson. Wake up, you child-bearing woman who doesn't listen to advice!"
"Stop joking────!" Origami roared loudly, raised her hands in front of her, and the front end of the Angel of Extinction began to emit a pure white light.
" Halvanhelev[Sword of the End]!"
" Artelif [Cannon Crown]!"
The two people's shouts overlapped. The sky released a bright white light, while the ground released a dark deep light.
The two were about to use their ultimate moves from both sides, using all their spiritual power.
The final collision between the [Princess] and the [Angel] is about to happen!
