Boom──!!
“What?! The entrance we came in through has vanished!!”
“Ah─ I miss my days in the special forces! Being a VTuber is tougher!”
“In what way?”
“I won’t be able to stream after conquering this tower today because I’ll be dead tired. If I post a break notice, my meticulously planned schedule will be ruined.”
“That’s a surprisingly practical reason! Why not go 24/7 like Asuka?”
“Don’t spout nonsense.”
Their group, surrounded front and back, unleashed a storm of bullets without holding back.
While exchanging magazines hanging from their waists, Asuka erected a barrier with spells and sent a Fire Fox to block the path.
Was it a stroke of luck amidst misfortune?
Because the labyrinth was a straight path, even though the Gazers poured out, charged with wild speed, and could kill with just a stab, they couldn’t dodge the attacks, so there was no spillage of blood.
However, there were simply too many of them.
The initial plan was to block the path with the bodies of the Gazers, but they witnessed the maze absorbing and devouring the corpses as soon as they hit the ground.
It left the [Human] corpses scattered everywhere untouched, but unquestionably devoured both the [Gazers] and the [Holy Knight Order] descending for exploration.
Why?
Are the [Humans] purely made of mana not more nutritious for the tower?
They were beneficial even as food and top-notch without any waste as materials.
Yet, to the tower, they were worth less than a rolling stone.
There were numerous battles with Climbers or criminals during the special forces days, but such a spectacular scenario like in a movie was unfamiliar even for Pipkin Mami.
“[Psycho Ball]!!”
“Did you change the name of that skill?”
“It’s gotta be something famous so the fans like it, right?”
“It’s the unwritten rule LOL”
“Mami can’t hit a thing though, can she?!”
“These Gazers are insanely fast lol…”
“No sounds either, how do they dodge?”
“It must be some kind of instinct, I guess?”
While the bullets startled them into twitching without properly dodging, they effortlessly evaded Pipkin Mami’s telekinetic sphere, as if they were dodging ghosts.
Judging from their dodging speed, they seemed capable of swatting away bullets but couldn’t and crumbled weakly like the most brittle of monsters.
“Is it over…?”
“Let me light a cig then~”
-Cute little humming there, going full hard-boiled…
-Where does she keep getting those cigarettes????
-Look at Asuka supplying ammo, lol
-Wakamou Corporation fights dirty!
-Dirty? Cheating? Victory is justice.
-In reality, Wakamou=Kan has never lost.
-Incredible boss…!!
-The manager of a VTuber company must be a superhuman. Proven by Wakamou and Strong Leader.
Asuka opened the portal of [My Worlds] to unload the ammo box, with Hajime Ichigo by her side refilling bullets.
Nearby, even Indiana Jones was tidily rechecking his equipment, matching the right bullets.
Meanwhile, Pipkin Mami, alone and indifferent, savored the cigarette deeply in her mouth.
The visual intense enough to make the viewers watching crave a cigarette themselves.
“You know, if the ancient humans littered along the roadside here are ancient humans too…then aren’t the Gazers ancient humans as well?”
“There’s a point. At the very least, the skeleton structure of Gazers is strikingly similar to ours. How did they become tower monsters? How did they end up living underground…Exciting stuff…!!”
-This is genuinely intriguing.
-After 11 years, will the truth of the tower be revealed?
-But you rarely see this kind of labyrinth setting.
-This doesn’t appear unless you’re at Wakamou Leader’s level, right?
-Yeah, and even then, traps are extremely rare.
-Feels like a FromSoftware game LOL
“I can feel malevolent evil all throughout this space.”
Ichigo, slightly curling a sly smile saying her eyes were starting to sting, momentarily reset her gun before standing.
“I see. Asuka thinks it’s filled with Miyazaki’s unique, rich stinking stench.”
-Is there an unavoidable off-beat attack incoming?
-It’s a poison swamp, right? I’m fully aware.
-Welcome to the FromSoftware theme park~
-Anxious about whether a rock will roll down or a guillotine will fly at us.
-You’ve awakened; welcome to the FromSoftware subreddit…
-Even if you dodge with a roll, a wide-area follow-up attack will surely fly in.
Beep beep—
“[This is Morpheus here. For now, here’s a rough prediction of the safe path through foresight. The maze inside is extremely complex. The malice of the creator could practically be felt….It’s essentially a design to devour those who enter. As you can see, people entering are constantly being spun around and the labyrinth behaves like a living entity continuously changing.]”
“…..It’s too much, isn’t it?”
Even though it was different from a conventional 【Tower】, it was too different.
It was unusual for the tower, which typically pressured by environment matching, to offer Climbers an opportunity to leave and meet level-appropriate challenges.
However, the current tower was outright declaring its intention to devour everyone coming inside for restarting.
Furthermore, upon entry, it trapped them in a [Labyrinth of Change] making sure they could never leave, leaving them to be killed by pursuers.
Moreover, traps lined every corner, and monsters were strewn all over.
“[At this level, no matter how many times I provide my blessing, it will not be enough. Is escaping a possibility?]”
“No, it’s not.”
Pipkin Mami already gave it a try. Nothing, not one escape item, would work.
Luckily though, they could escape to a safe spot through [My Worlds].
Having a refuge to rest anytime they desired, the party began to follow the [Guiding Star] displayed by [Morpheus (Oracle)].
Each step was cautious, not knowing what might spring out from a corner, drop from the ceiling, or change underfoot.
As they turned a corner, a box appeared in the corridor as if left there for picking.
-Wow, this feels genuinely dungeon-like.
-It’s way too different even from a tower.
-Yeah, towers don’t have stuff like that inside?
-Yeah…towers award you upon clearing, no rewards inside.
-A box in the tower means it’s 100% just a mimic LOL
“What kind of fool would fall for such a box?”
“Woah!!! It’s dark!!! Get me out!!!”
-LOL
-LOL
-LOL
-LOL
Indiana Jones, gobbled up by the box, flailed his short legs about.
Meanwhile, from being too plump, the lid couldn’t even close properly.
No disastrous calamity of being split in two thanks to sturdy armor, but wasn’t it reckless no matter the love for adventure?
Then, the mimic trembled and abruptly threw him back out.
“…..Death by suffocation.”
-Oh dear….
-Never swallow just anything.
-Only Wakamou Leader should have pelican accidents.
-It’s the worst manly fate to die by suffocation!
-However, in the shadows….that’s more popular….
-Oh, you’re a guy…how would you know that…?
“Other than that, folks, look!! So many jewels inside the box!!!”
“Wow─”
Hajime Ichigo and Mami, whose salary from the boss was far more than those jewels, offered insincere smiles and applause of congratulations.
But was there ever a treasure inside mimics before? It seemed like looking at everything entirely different from a regular tower was indeed appropriate.
This tower intended nothing but death for Climbers.
“Oougaaaah!!!”
“Heavy!!!”
“Hey, why is Indiana Jones at the top…!!!”
“Because he’s a shooter…!!”
Even after that, a string of traps snagged onto the group’s ankles.
As they walked, the narrow corridor began revolving and flipping over.
Truly peculiar traps like a vertical circular corridor previously unfamiliar to life’s experiences.
Initially leading and cautious, Asuka and Ichigo suddenly descended upon Mami.
“Oougaaaah!!! Mami’s precious back…!! Didn’t build flexibility for this kind of scenario!!!”
Managing to halt the fall with limbs attached to the ceiling and floor was good, but the weight was causing Mami to slowly slide while U-bending.
“No, nipple poke is a no-no!!!”
-Please don’t spout insane remarks in this situation.
-The blade is about to pierce through the chest!!
-What a refined comment amidst the chaos.
-Is there still room for jest? Is that it?
-Seeing her expression like a constipated person straining makes me doubt…
“Who’s constipated!! Can’t you boys offer a lady some more lovely words!? That’s why all of you are still virgins!!!”
-It’s a fact.
-LOL
-Oh boy, use your psychic powers~
-What’s with Asuka just lying next to her?
-Trivial fact) Asuka knows how to fly.
-LOL
“Oouuuuuhhh!!!!”
With an intense expression, Mami restored the corridor using psychokinesis, massaging her lower back as she passed through the trap.
Briefly— in the trembling labyrinth accompanied by massive rolling rocks.
Attempting to evade by turning a corner resulted in a fiery, bladed chariot charging forth.
“Wouldn’t it be better to hide in the side crevice?! Sugoi!”
Indiana Jones tossed himself hurriedly into a side passageway, but the ground opened beneath him, making him fall.
Just before the fall, he jiggles like pudding in midair due to his protruding belly and gets stuck halfway.
Seeing him, Mami bursts into laughter.
-You’re funnier LOL
-Ah, LOL
-This…is the tower?
-There’s comedy everywhere LOL
-Wow~ This is American comedy~
She’s stuck with a raised arm posture due to her chest.
Both positions couldn’t be more grotesque as she looked on at the two Americans.
For a moment, Asuka debates, then steps onto Mami’s face to climb into the crevice.
“And Ichigo?!”
Jones’ question got Asuka pointing upward.
Hajime Ichigo was already hanging Tarzan-like above, using the wall in true monkey fashion.
Possessing an acutely sharp intuitiveness, she sighed as rocks thunderously rolled by with thunderous clatter, ensured they were fully able to dodge by perceptive instinct.
The traps seemed endless.
Moving forward, the corridor collapsed downward as blades attempted to sever necks.
Jumping to avoid the visible traps caused hidden snares underneath to swallow them.
It was fine with Asuka and Ichigo, but by the time Pipkin Mami passed through, the trap for crushing her between the walls had closed a fifth time, leaving her with three cigarettes in her mouth, complaining non-stop.
“You know─ is it that I’m unlucky?”
The psychokinesis halted the blades, flying was used to evade collapsing floors, and the phase-through capability was how Pipkin Mami escaped the crusher traps.
-Psychic is such a cheat.
-Alone she’s practically X-men.
-No, but this is ridiculously evil.
-How many traps are there?
“What about crossing this way?”
Thanks to Mami forcibly stretching the walls wide with psychokinesis, the suddenly running Robert Duncan Smith (Jones) managed to dash through.
There were too many clever traps. Levels where traps clearly waited around every corner.
Tub!
Ichigo began getting annoyed, capturing arrows flying from the corridor’s distant darkness without warning, astute at reacting to incoming danger.
She sighed at the absurd distances arrows traversed through the dark and extraordinarily vast space.
If only it ended there; gaseous poison or petrifying gas occasionally blew from the corridors.
Being long the supreme [Alchemist], she was resistant enough, but her comrades were the concern.
She tossed a petrification antidote to a petrifying Asuka and unceremoniously plopped down into the corridor, suggesting a brief rest.
“The sly placement of blades within the rope was outright malicious.”
The corridor looking like they were meant to grab hold of and cross, hid blades inside, shredding Asuka’s hand.
“How about the unexpected thumping wall crashes?”
Weight problems below 50KG spared Asuka and Ichigo, but the wall squashed Mami five times so far, who now walked about with three cigarettes dangling, visibly disgruntled about the walls giving passionate bumps instead of desired manly dashing boops.
“And… what about the monsters?”
On the opposite side of the corridor, Monsters recognized the climbers by instinct, bursting through walls to ambush.
It was plausible for Pipkin Mami to pass through but not destroy the indestructible walls, but the monsters burst through them effortlessly.
Moreover, when conducting broad attacks from beyond walls, they passed through similar to game bugs.
Predictively sliced swords swung by Ichigo barely intercepted and saved the heads of either Smith or Asuka from flying off.
“Every traditional trap in Indiana Jones movies appears here.”
Snakes fell from the sky or filled pits below.
Barely visible darkness or round-trap triggered hidden explosive booby traps popped out.
Breakable thin lines triggered, stunning everyone.
Sure, wall or darkness-emerging hooks are… understandable.
Likewise for spin-saw blades shooting from ceiling or floor.
Disappear-walled open spaces possessing guillotining pendulums or bridge collapses can be comprehended.
Suddenly blocked corridors bursting into fire or triggering water drownings could…!!! Be bearable!!
“But how long does this go on!!!”
After holding it in for so long, Ichigo finally exploded in frustration.
Walking nervously for over two hours, even knowing the path wasn’t beyond imagination stress-wise.
Even this was only because Morpheus guided towards the center’s deeper sections, which elevated the corresponding trap hazards.
“We haven’t even met the investigation team the Vatican sent on the way.”
“[─Apparently, responding to the live broadcast being monitored in the Vatican, they sent a champion. It might be discovered sooner or later but fortunately, we’re not alone in death.]”
“[Wait? Wasn’t this place supposed to be safe? That’s why I’ve been playing the operator role here?]”
“[Rest easy, if push comes to shove, I’ll assist you.]”
-Loads of thrill, but with an insane difficulty level.
-Doesn’t this outright kill all climbers?
-Of course, everyone dies… how anyone survives this?
-Then shouldn’t that mean incredible rewards await?
It was effectively only a minute-long brief respite.
Crossed traps, approaching eighty-by now, in nearly two hours.
Among them, not only Gazers, but a slew of various monsters blocked their path.
A surprise might be that none of the monsters encountered had been unfamiliar.
‘Let’s summarize the situation.’
The [Pope] intended to harness power through [Subclasses] and [Monsterization Studies] to nurture forces of [Angels], containing [Idol] powers bring their imminent potential.
Incorporating companion uniqueness with religion’s grandiosity, alongside the superiority [Sacred] brings with it.
Unexpectedly however, a variable like “Divine Punishment” seemingly bestowed, an irony in the form of the second-generation class [Idol] to the Pope.
Since Wakamou Inarizushi’s demise apparently at Kyoto Tower, the class remit must have been released.
“Mana depletion equals death”─ the ghastly penalty obliterated faux-religious sects worldwide.
Ultimately, circumstances dictated the global class condition was fulfilled by the globally grand and illustrious title of the Christian Pope.
‘Islam or Buddhism are known to have more followers, but Christianity might aggregate additional sects….’
The [Saint] didn’t tell the whole story, being uninvested herself.
It’s certain the [Pope] would die if left unchecked.
‘There’s a sense of unease’
Evidently, the Saint harbored resentment towards the Pope.
Moreover, a significant item threatening the [Idol] housed in dedication was needed by their side.
What’s next?
[Naturally forgotten amidst it all, but if conquered, wouldn't the tower be deemed cleared?
Is it not determined?
Then, won't the Pope's experiment continue?
'Are you planning to assassinate the Pope with an item that threatens the [Idol]?'
Why didn't anyone suspect anything the moment they entered that space?
As they got closer to the dungeon's core, questions instinctively began to arise one by one in Ichigo's sharp gaze.
"Why on earth did we leave Morpheus behind?"
The labyrinth constantly changes; a map wasn't needed.
Even though long-distance communication was possible and the Saint could provide support, there was no need for Morpheus to stay.
It wasn't as if he said he would stay because his combat ability was lacking.
At some point, it just happened.
'Asuka'
Ichigo quietly handed Asuka a note with written words.
SDVIMVFoanVzY1YwSVhjamMzUkt1Uk1oK0sya3NRU1YxcUQyKzVnbkpjMzNSUmVIZ1NpS3Fubmk2NEFwbW16TA
And only then did Asuka seem to realize something was amiss, frowning deeply.
Though they were too focused on avoiding traps, the distance made the [Skill]'s influence undeniably weaker.
'Was the [Oracle] brainwashed from the start?'
Pipkin Mami, reading the note handed over by Asuka, telepathically communicated with the entire party.
Without even showing the paper, she forcefully fed the information into Robert's mind, making him shiver.
From the start, only the [Oracle] among this group could access the [Six Legged Beast].
What skill does the Saint use? What abilities do they have? Why do they have the same face?
Without asking any of these questions, they naturally arrived at the dungeon's core.
Shwwk──
《You have entered the Tower of Ascension》
-Reach the summit by reaching the [■■].
-As there is currently no record of [■■], it is not possible to reach it.
-Those who meet the conditions can "evolve" into [Heroic Spirit].
※Caution- The tower you have entered is closed, preparing to restart.
For devotion, an [Executioner] roams the tower.
Bigger rewards await those worthy.
※Caution- All traps are currently active by the devotion of 96 offerings. If [4 more] sacrifices are presented, the tower will activate.
There was no choice.
Instincts belatedly started working, and Ichigo felt danger looming.
Among the [Viewers] watching the broadcast, none questioned the situation.
Probably because it was edited or pre-discussed.
"....Asuka! Disband the group!!"
At that moment, realizing something, Robert shouted urgently.
The tower had a function to consider a certain group as a [Party].
Robert was aware of this principle.
However, already being inside the tower, he didn't know how to disband the party.
Thus, Robert ordered the party member who could quickly understand the [Tower's system].
"I've left the party!!"
"Damn, you noticed, huh?"
Asuka shouted urgently.
At some point, the entire party had formed a party with the Saint!!
"Wow, really?!"
Realizing a psychic who can read thoughts and minds was manipulated, they were startled.
How can a [Buff] be given at such a distance? It wasn't a party.... This question lingered until this moment!!
Disconnecting the video call maintained via [Internet connection], Asuka hung up.
-Damn, what’s with that expression.
-I got goosebumps.....
-Hug me.
-No, what's up with that serious face???
"Snap out of it, everyone!! I just detected something dangerous with my [Danger Detection]!!"
Three people whose focus returned glanced at Robert, and two looked at Ichigo.
What skill was used that her sharp intuition was completely lost?
Even though it exists as a [Skill], it wasn't working at all!!
"If damn Morpheus was brainwashed, wouldn't it be circulating rather than being at the core?"
"No, it won't be long now"
Ichigo answered Mami's irritated question. The treasure was nearby—this was the Alchemist's intuition.
Rewards beyond imagination—calling the Climbers. The faint sense of myth-grade items surpassing legendary was felt.
Asuka seemed to feel it too, looking in the same direction.... Was the [Saint] blocking it?
The [Executioner] emerged from the darkness ahead of them.
'.......It's different from what I imagined?'
Immediately pulling the trigger and hitting the forehead, Mami thought.
Honestly, what exactly looks different between it and a Gazer? She wondered.
And soon, the warning window appeared to the entire group.
[Under the Man-eater's presence, your stats decrease by 99%!]
"Man-eater?!"
"What?!"
"No way!"
"Is the Executioner a Man-eater?!"
[Due to the Man-eater's murderous intent, you are afflicted with [Fear], [Confusion], [Hallucination], [Panic], [Loss of Sanity], [Mental Collapse], [Convulsions], [Delirium], [Loss of Speech], [Incoherence], [Destruction of Thought], [Paranoia], [Anxiety].]
"Damn it─!!"
Pipkin Mami cursed so much she spat out the cigarette from her mouth.
A shock-induced death wouldn't be strange with this degree of status afflictions.
And the same alert window appeared to all the viewers watching, just like to them.
The moment you face the [Man-eater], no one could survive─they finally understood what it meant.
The moment you enter the range, you are afflicted with all sorts of status ailments and your stats fall by 99%.
-No, are you crazy? Completely insane???
-A 99% stat reduction is already hopeless.
-Damn, are they all going to die???
-Is this okay? Is our Ichigo okay?
-Liu Wei) Emperor! Escape, Your Majesty!
-No, no, this is not right!!!!
-The Man-eater has never appeared in the tower!!
Indeed, the case of 【Idol】 isn't just Climbers other than Wakamou fighting it.
If it happened to descend down to [Heroic Spirit], there were many who knew but didn't talk about it.
Information is gradually spreading due to Wakamou's broadcast.
But even for such a Wakamou, neither the Kyoto Tower with 200 times difficulty increase nor having cleared that to increase difficulty in the China Tower──there was not a single class.
They had never brought forth a 【Man-eater】, something excessively strong to the point of extreme.
In retrospect, it was an ironic occurrence─such a class would be fitting for the highest floor boss.
And now it had appeared in the tower.
A class seemingly existing solely for killing humans.
The exact identity of those climbing the tower as [Climbers] solely for unilateral slaughter...!!
Against an [Idol]-like [Human], the special attack doesn't work.
That class simply exists purely for killing humans for...!!
The tower, for any reason, has an invincible entity, to execute the Climbers!!
"I see!! The past tower is a tower that grinds up Climbers like a blender!! That's like a blade the tower created to kill humans!!"
"But why are we sane?"
"The boss, Wakamou, bought a bunch of [Mental Protection] related items when they went to buy Russian goods."
-As expected, the boss is Wakamou.
-Wakamou Corporation is employee welfare.
-Thank you, Wakamou=Kan-sama!!!
-Wakamou is practically Buddha! Therefore, a Buddha VTuber!!
-Damn, Wakamou!! You're a Buddha VTuber!!!
In the case of the [Second-generation Man-eater], it's said an ordinary person would die just by making eye contact.
The four who understood the reason somehow were backtracking. But there was no way to resolve the 99% drop in stats.
Every movement was so slow that even Ichigo was at a level of crawling rather than walking.
"I don't have the strength to pull the trigger...!!!"
"Nothing can be done with telekinesis?!"
"My stats aren't sufficient!!"
Robert and Mami gritted their teeth trying to pull the trigger, but it wouldn't budge.
Wanting to use psychic power, but Mami shouting she couldn't due to the intelligence and mental power stat drops.
Meanwhile, the Executioner started crouching, charging towards them.
Ichigo knows because Wakamou personally experienced the [Human Special Attack] of the Man-eater and informed.
Just passing by can kill you!
No— In the worst case, you can die even without touching!!
BOOM─!!!
At that moment, a pillar of intense flame engulfing the Executioner Man-eater soared up.
Caught off-guard by the tremendous heat, a stream of flame arrows kept attacking the Man-eater, causing a chain of explosions.
"Executioner"
Power running down the raised sword─ Though Asuka is supplied with mana from Wakamou as the [Idol's Messenger], she's always limiting her output.
If only desired, she could amplify power with over-output.
Such was Wakamou's usual method.
Not wanting VTubers to fight, she only follows the master's wishes.
"In front of you is. An oracle with over 1,000 intelligence."
"Asuka!"
"[Idol's Flame]"
Intense flames swirling fiercely to the point of ear-ringing engulfed Man-eater.
Asuka, too, is an idol created by the tower.
The tower may bestow trials upon Climbers but does not drop unreasonable ones.
Implicitly, [Man-eater] is forbidden.
The existence benefits neither the Climbers nor the current tower.
'There's no Man-eater in the tower! But it existed in the past tower?'
Because there’s a record that [the class] existed, [Mediator] knows it.
The only one to have been denied existence itself, erased is [Idol].
"I'll handle it here, proceed first!"
"No, I won't leave it to you alone."
Expecting a shaman to fight without the vanguard doesn't make sense?
Throwing the core, absorbing the guillotine and surroundings to create a golem, Ichigo cast [Synthesis - Hyper Adrenaline].
Hair turning pure white, Ichigo caught Robert and Mami by the hands with agility risen to a level allowing speed breakthrough, dashing without looking back.
"We can no longer receive supplies!!"
The moment they escaped the range, stats returned, and Ichigo pressed down a mask.
"Breakthrough at maximum speed...!!"
Gripping the guns equipped with blades in her hands, Ichigo scattered red plum blossoms.
She left Gazer far behind, demonstrating overwhelming speed, with Mami and Robert quickly chasing behind.
And it seemed really not far, the [Treasure Chest] at the tower's core appeared before them.
Bang Bang─!!
Robert shot open the treasure chest with his gun, leaped up, spinning his body like a top to pierce the heads of Gazers lurking in the room with the treasure chest.
Using telekinesis, Mami supported Ichigo by collecting debris to construct a foothold, and she grabbed the reward inside the chest.
Simultaneously, all the Gazers charging at her turned to dust and vanished.
The tower shook─signs of disappearing due to the clear completion, began crumbling.
"....What's this?"
Holding the dagger, Ichigo showed displeasure.
[Brand of Hatred]
- Created by sacrificing 96 souls.
-(Kill 4 people to unlock a stronger [effect])
-A [Skill] can be permanently destroyed.
Rumble...
"Come forth! [Guardian of the Wilderness]!!"
"Neigh!!!"
Summoning a white horse using skill, Ichigo threw a rope to haul the dazed Ichigo onto the saddle before Robert, holding the reins with all his strength.
Upon Mami jumping on behind him, they began galloping from the crumbling dungeon core.
"The Executioner is still..!!"
Although the Gazers inside the tower vanished, the Executioner remained facing off against Asuka and destroying the golems.
Pulling the trigger before entering the aura's range, Robert fired.
Attribute bullets continuously exploded, causing freezing, hindering the Executioner's movements.
"Run, Trinity!!"
Carrying Asuka like luggage, Trinity leaped boldly toward the Executioner, breaking through.
Despite losing legs, swinging a hook-rope overhead, showcasing action scenes like holding on with lower body strength, Robert demonstrated rope action.
"Amazing!!"
"Hah hah!! Don't underestimate the Western Cowboy champion!"
"They're following us!"
[The Man-eater's mark is placed!]
[The inescapable Executioner’s death is chasing you!]
"No, why aren't you disappearing!!!"
An exasperated Mami diverted her telekinesis to throw stones, but much like other Gazers, the Executioner deftly evaded.
"Why does everything react and dodge my psychic powers like this?" she exclaimed in disbelief, sprawling backwards.
With her head striking the horse's rear, she fired her dual guns.
Man-eater, slowed due to the onslaught of bullets.
Soon, as the tower’s power dissipated, the surroundings started transitioning into the interior of the catacombs.
Finally, the space filled with [Sacred] aura.
Paladins lifted their shields, blocking their path.
"[Gun Fighting]!!"
"[Metal Manipulation]!!"
Mami's psychic power, not caring for the holy aura, crumpled shields and helmets automatically unfastened, disarming them.
In that state, Ichigo unhesitatingly fired rounds in her hand, forcing the Paladins to urgently evade.
"[Mezzogiorno di Fuoco(Noon of Fire)]─!!"
And the Shooter’s skill fired.
Momentarily forgotten, Robert ranked 177th among American Climbers as [Shooter].
Casting his ultimate [Skill], he pulled the trigger, and bullet after bullet struck every Climber within sight, shattering their formation.
"Lifting you up!"
Tracking live locations for Asuka, Mami utilized telekinesis to move the party upward.
People in the square gasped and screamed, seeing the suddenly appearing horse and racing Climbers, but they did not stop.
"It’s quite routine to be on the run, even in America!!!"
Panting, Mami took a cigarette, and Robert shot it to light it.
Upon rising, blinded by the sunlight, something caught her eye.
White wings.
─A celestial being was crossing overhead.
