Chapter 240: Chapter 35: If You Don’t Want to Leave, Then Don’t Leave
Dance together?
Why does he talk like an immature teenager?
Nia Honjo wanted to complain, but it was too late.
Assuming she was a mechanized soldier, Kagetane Hiruko couldn't wait to draw the dual guns at his waist, eager to test her abilities.
Bang, bang !
Each bullet from the two modified Beretta 93Rs had the power to easily shatter the skulls of stage two and even some stage three Gastrea creatures. Neither the power nor the rate of fire could be matched by the original version.
However, Nia Honjo didn't even try to dodge. Instead, she stood there calmly with her arms folded across her chest.
Just as the bullets were a few centimeters away from her, a transparent barrier appeared in front of her and blocked the two bullets.
"Some kind of defensive stance?"
Seeing this, Kagetane Hiruko became even more certain of Nia Honjo identity as a mechanized soldier.
After all, he also had a similar ability.
As a mechanized soldier, after most of his body and internal organs were mechanically transformed, he had gained a defensive stance called the Repulsion Field.
Not only could it block bullets and missiles shot from all angles, but it could also bounce them back along their original trajectory, making enemies suffer the consequences of their own actions.
"Although I know it's probably useless, I'll ask one last time."
Completely ignoring Kagetane Hiruko's attack, Nia Honjo spoke calmly. "As you can see, your attack can't harm me. If you're willing to leave now, the lives of you and your daughter can still be guaranteed."
"How merciful and loving," Kagetane Hiruko exclaimed. "You're willing to give even a wicked person like me a chance. You truly are worthy of being God's servant."
"I know you're going to say 'but.'"
"But I won't agree to it, because the battle is ahead," Kagetane Hiruko said with a smile. "For others, fighting is just a means to achieve a goal, but for me, fighting is one of my goals.
Mechanized soldiers were born for fighting.
If we avoid fighting, we are worthless.
Fighting is our destiny, our meaning, and the only way to realize our value.
So, Nia Honjo, fight me with all your might.
It doesn't matter whether you win or lose, whether you live or die.
Tonight, there are only two possible outcomes between us.
Either I kill you and fulfill my purpose, or you kill me and punish the wicked."
Kagetane Hiruko raised his arms high, expressing his emotions like a singer on stage, conveying both madness and rationality.
He was the apostle of war, the symbol of chaos, the representative of disorder.
In this society, he sought the meaning of being a mechanized soldier, embarking on a destined bloody path, and bringing turmoil and destruction to the world.
The battle wasn't a test or an obstacle it was the result.
His battle with Nia Honjo was the inevitable outcome of the path he had chosen.
The chaotic madman who sought to destroy the world and the apostle of God who protected it this was the inevitable clash between them!
"Madman…"
Having confirmed that the man in front of her would never leave, Nia Honjo gritted her teeth in frustration.
She had never shown any mercy to this madman who was eager to create chaos in the world and had now set his sights on her.
Having traveled through so many worlds, she had killed countless people and monsters.
Although she wasn't someone who killed indiscriminately, if it was truly necessary, she could kill her enemies without hesitation, even without the emotional shielding provided by the system.
She could.
But this approach wasn't applicable here.
It was impossible for someone like her, who always seemed to be smiling in front of others but was deeply closed-off inside, to kill someone.
In fact, she would rather hurt herself than harm others.
But she had to stop Kagetane Hiruko for good.
Because, after seeing her abilities and determining that she was a mechanized soldier, Kagetane Hiruko had developed a strong interest in her.
It was similar to how he had become interested in Rentaro Satomi.
If she let him go this time, it would be like releasing a tiger back into the mountains.
She wasn't afraid of thieves stealing; she was afraid of thieves plotting.
She didn't want to spend the rest of her life on guard against Kagetane Hiruko, who might appear out of nowhere.
Therefore, Kagetane Hiruko had to die.
And she had to find a way to do it without breaking Nia Honjo character and ensuring the trouble was ended for good.
"Should I use a prop card?"
This was her first thought.
Among all the prop cards, she had three experience cards.
These trial cards could transform her into Tokisaki Kurumi, Yatogami Tohka beast form, or Kotori Itsuka.
To deal with someone like Kagetane Hiruko, using Yatogami Tohka beast form would be overkill like using a cannon to kill a mosquito.
As long as she became Tokisaki Kurumi or Kotori Itsuka, she could eliminate Kagetane Hiruko without any worries and never have to fear future troubles.
Not only would she no longer have to worry about this madman targeting her, but Kagetane Hiruko's death would also make Kikunojou Tendo realize her strength and deter him from acting rashly again.
But was it worth it?
She didn't want to waste either Tokisaki Kurumi or Kotori Itsuka's experience cards in such a situation.
One was a Nightmare who could create clones and escape effortlessly, and the other was a Fire Demon who could keep fighting as long as she wasn't killed instantly. Using either would be a waste.
Just as Nia Honjo was pondering, she glanced at Nibelcole beside her.
Then, with a flash of inspiration, she thought of another solution.
She needed to stay in character.
But Nibelcole didn't!
Although her Nibelcole was a bit silly, the Nibelcole from the original story was a true devil's daughter who killed without hesitation.
Even though she was just a sub-Spirit, she was more than capable of dealing with a mechanized soldier.
Nia Honjo made a quick decision and said to Nibelcole, "Nibelcole, you go fight Kagetane Hiruko, and I'll fight Kohina Hiruko!"
"Huh?"
Nibelcole, who had been making intense eye contact with Kohina Hiruko, was suddenly stunned after hearing Nia Honjo words.
Listen, is this human language?
Even the Hiruko father and daughter nearby didn't expect Nia Honjo to make such an arrangement.
Normally, fights were between initiator and initiator or promoter and promoter, right?
"This, this, this isn't good," Nibelcole stammered.
"As long as you can deal with him, you can eat as many fries as you want at McDonald's!" Nia Honjo promised.
"Deal!"
After hearing Nia Honjo offer, the previously timid Nibelcole suddenly became excited.
She looked at Kagetane Hiruko with a fiery gaze, as if ready to pounce.
"The guest follows the host's wishes," Kagetane Hiruko said with a low laugh.
"Well then, let me see how strong your Initiator is."
