Zongman started from grabbing girls with Wuhe Shidao

"Stiyl just used the rune engraving that drives away idlers (Opila)."

A chill.A female voice suddenly came, like a Japanese knife stabbing Kamijou's face.

There were absolutely no warnings beforehand.This girl wasn't hiding in the shadows, nor was she following Kamijou secretly from behind.She was standing in the middle of the three lanes as wide as an airplane taxiway, about ten meters away from Kamijou, blocking Kamijou's way.

It wasn't too dark so I didn't see it, or Kamijou didn't notice it himself.It's not that simple.A moment ago, there was indeed no one.But just in the blink of an eye, a girl appeared there.

"In order to disperse the crowd, he made the people around here feel like 'I don't want to be near here for some reason'. Most people should stay in the building, don't worry."

The body is more honest than the thoughts──The blood of Kamijou's whole body has subconsciously concentrated on his right hand.The pain, like a rope being tightly tied around his wrist, gave Kamijou an intuition—this guy is hard to deal with.

The girl was wearing a T-shirt and jeans with no leg at all on her left foot, barely considered normal clothing.

But hanging from her waist like a pistol, the Japanese sword with a length of more than two meters exuded a chilling killing intent.

Although you can't see the blade in the scabbard, just looking at the jet-black scabbard that looks like the pillars of an ancient Japanese-style house and depicts a lot of history, you can know that this knife has a lot of history.

"Shenjing seeks demons──What a good name."

The girl herself didn't feel nervous at all, she seemed to be gossiping, which was even more terrifying.

"……Who are you?"

"My name is Kanzaki Kaori... I don't want to say another name if I can."

"Another name?"

"Magic name."

Although he had already guessed it, Kamijou couldn't help but take a step back.

The name of magic—the "name of murder" that Stiyl uttered when he used magic to attack Kamijou.

"──So, like Stiyl, you are also a member of the magic society?"

"...?" For a moment, Kanzaki frowned with an expression of incomprehension, and then said, "Oh, did the list of forbidden books tell you?"

Kamijou didn't answer.

Magic Association.The "organization" that chased Index for [-] grimoires.A "group" that wants to master all magic, change all the laws of the world, and aim to become a "demon god".

"I won't beat around the bush with you." Kanzaki closed one eye and said, "Before I say the magic name, I hope you will hand over that girl to me for protection."

A shudder.

Even though Kamijou possessed the ace's ultimate move, that is, the ability of his right hand, he couldn't help but feel a chill towards the enemy in front of him.

"...What if I say no?"

Even so, Kamijou said so.Because he has no reason to back down.

"Then there is no other way," Kanzaki closed his other eye, "I have to say my magic name and take her away."

There was a sudden bang, shaking his feet like an earthquake.

It was like a bomb went off.In the corner of his line of sight, the night sky that should have been dark blue turned orange red like the setting sun.It seemed that in the distance—about hundreds of meters away, a huge flame was burning.

"In...Tix...!"

The enemy is an "organization".Besides, Kamijou also knew the name of that flame magician.

Kamijou looked towards the direction of the flame explosion almost reflexively, and at this very second.

In an instant, Kanzaki Kaori's slash had struck.

The distance between Kamijou and Kanzaki was ten meters.Moreover, the length of Kanzaki's Japanese sword was more than two meters. For a girl, let alone swinging it, it was impossible for a girl to even draw the sword out of its sheath.

──Normally, it should be like this.

But in the next instant, like a huge laser beam flashing, the air immediately above Kamijou's head was torn apart.Kamijou was too surprised to move.Behind him to the right, the spiral blades of the wind turbine were sliced ​​off obliquely, as quietly as cream.

"Please don't do this kind of thing again." The voice came from ten meters away: "Once you take your attention away from me, there is only one dead end."

The Japanese sword, which was more than two meters long, had already been retracted into the scabbard by Kanzaki.Because the speed was so fast, Kamijou didn't even see the appearance of the blade at all.

Kamijou couldn't move at all.

The reason why I can still stand now is because Kanzaki missed the slash on purpose──Just barely understanding this point has exhausted all of Kamijou's thoughts.Totally unrealistic.With such an incredible enemy, Kamijou's comprehension speed couldn't keep up.

With a bang, the sliced ​​blade of the wind turbine fell to the ground behind Kamijou.

The broken blade fell very close to Kamijou, but Kamijou couldn't even move.

"...!"

The sharpness of that blow just now made Kamijou grit his teeth.

Kanzaki opened one eye that was closed.

"I'll ask you again," Kanzaki said with narrowed eyes, "Before I say the magic name, can you entrust that girl to my protection?"

Kanzaki's voice was very clear.

The icy voice seemed to tell Kamijou that there is nothing surprising about this level of attack.

"...you... what nonsense are you talking──"

The soles of his feet seemed to be coated with glue, and Kamijou couldn't move forward, nor could he go backward.

Kamijou felt his feet trembling constantly, and his strength continued to drain, as if he had just finished a marathon.

"What reason do I have...to surrender to you..."

"You can ask me as many times as you want."

Swish!In an instant, Kanzaki's right hand became blurred for no reason, and then disappeared.

boom!With a bang, along with the roar of the wind, something struck at a terrifying speed.

"!?"

It's like the illusion of huge laser rays shooting from all directions.

Then, a huge tornado appeared like a vacuum knife.

The above-mentioned Dangma is the eye of the wind, and the asphalt on the ground, the street lamps, and the street trees arranged at regular intervals all seem to be cut by a hydraulic knife for construction.Fist-sized asphalt fragments flew up and hit Kamijou's right shoulder, and Kamijou flew out just like that, almost fainting.

Kamijou put his hand on his right shoulder, not daring to move his neck, and only looked around with his eyes.
