<h4>Chapter 1501: 1 vs 6, deep in the enemy camp</h4>
The violent beast pounced on Illya the prey. Her amber eyes brimmed with killing intent. She swung her twin des down at Illya’s neck.
Illya only came to her senses when the de was already less than a meter away.
“Illya.”
Rin & co shrieked.
“I got you now!”
Kuro went in for the kill.
<i>Tang</i>
Sparks flew as someone intercepted her.
Kuro looked at the crystal sword in front of her. The pink-haireddy from before had stopped her.
She clicked her tongue.
‘Sorry.”
Hinagiku grinned when Kuro continued to grind her des against Shirosakura.
“You can’t touch Illya for now. We need to get more information out of you.”
Hinagiku flicked her wrist.
<i>ng</i>
Her des shattered when Shirosakura pushed back.
Kuro dodged back just in time as a swift follow-up attack from Hinagiku narrowly missed her nose.
“You’re fast.”
Kuro praised Hinagiku.
“To think you recovered from your bafflement and protected the brat behind you in less than a second. Not bad, Onee-san…”
“If you’re an enemy, I would have cut you down without intercepting the attack.”
“You speak as if victory is within your grasp.”
Kuro melded into the night.
Then, she reappeared behind Hinagiku and Illya.
“I have a cheat that I can use in a contest of speed.”
‘Huh?”
Hinagiku sensed Kuro.
“Spatial teleportation?”
“Yes.”
Kuro lifted her twin des again.
She attacked Illya once more.
Suddenly, she paused.
Two gems slowly fell near her temples.
“<strong>Mark</strong>…”
“<strong>Set</strong>…”
The gems exploded in her face.
<i>Kaboom</i>
mes engulfed the center of the street.
Waves of dust expanded outward.
Hinagiku got Illya out of there as soon as she spotted the gems. She evaded the mes as they retreated to Mikoto’s side.
Kuro wanted to get Illya but she was busy dealing with the gems. She used her warp skill to escape too.
“Using a magic of this caliber here in a residential area…”
Kuro looked at the silent buildings around her. There were no lights. She frowned.
“A barrier?”
“A hypnosis-type warding barrier.”
Rin grinned.
“We can’t have you going around and killing innocent bystanders.”
“I wouldn’t do that.”
Kuro red at Illya.
“I only want Ilya.”
“I am not okay with that!!!”
Illya protested.
“We don’t want to hurt you.”
Mikoto warned her.
“We have questions for you. Put down the des and let’s talk.”
“Of course.”
Kuro wasn’t stubborn.
But, she was hellbent on getting Illya.
“I only want Illya.’
Kuro rested her des on her shoulders.
“Give me Illya and you can ask me all the questions in the world.”
“Why do you want me dead?”
Illya yelled.
“Did I do something horrible to you?”
“Horrible?”
Kuro turned frosty.
“I don’t know about that. But, what I am going to do is definitely going to be extreme.”
“You…”
Illya is angry.
“It seems like there is no point in talking anymore.”
Hinagiku asked one more time.
“Are youing with us?”
“Sorry.”
Kuro grinned.
“We can hang out. But, that’s after I kill Illya.”
“No choice.”
Rin growled.
“Get her!”
“Should have done that in the first ce!”
Kuro pounced forward.
Kuro traversed 20 meters in less than a second. She did a horizontal sh in Illya’s direction.
Mikoto reacted first.
She whipped Kuro with her iron sand.
No, she didn’t hit her.
Kuro summoned a sword wall from the ground as if she knew this attack wasing.
Kuro sped up.
“Herr!”
Hinagiku stood between Kuro and Illya.
<i>ng</i>
Kuro struck Shirosakura.
Hinagiku felt a weird force on her ck de. Kuro then proceeded to parry her.
Using the resulting force, Kuro spun around with her white sword.
“Physical barrier, max output!”
Ruby chimed in.
<i>ng</i>
Illya stopped her white sword with Ruby.
“You…”
Illya roared.
“Don’t look down on me!”
At close range, she fired a pinkser.
“Magic cannon!”
The street lit up with the magical sheen of pink energies. The magic explosion also engulfed Kuro.
<i>Boommm</i>
Dust and rocks flew everywhere.
