But she overlooked one thing—

There are many elves here!

Tohka immediately manifested her spirit form, wielding the Executioner, and charged towards Hoshimiya Rokuro. Flames erupted from Kotori's body, her feather-like spirit form appearing and disappearing, while the Yamai sisters also unleashed a hurricane—

Although their spiritual power was sealed by Shiori, they could still temporarily retrieve some of it for battle. Hoshimiya Mukuro has really stirred up a horde of spirits this time.

Yoshino and Kotori protect Shiori while the Yamai sisters and Tohka attack her together.

Hoshimiya Muku was caught off guard. She had easily sealed their memories of Shiori, which made her underestimate them. Now that she had been thoroughly beaten, she was preparing to retreat. Each spirit could fly, which was something that Izayoi Mirai could not overcome.

Snapped!

The Yamai sisters unleashed a whirlwind, slamming Hoshimiya Rokuro against the wall. Tohka swung her sword, but the sword energy bypassed Rokuro's body and struck the wall, easily slicing through half of it. The concrete collapsed with a crash, and sunlight streamed in, a single golden ray shining brightly.

That was a lock of hair that had been cut off from Hoshimiya Rokuro.

Izayoi Mirai couldn't see Hoshimiya Rokuro's face clearly, but just from the change in her aura, she knew that things weren't going well.

Tohka probably doesn't realize what she did. To her, deliberately not hurting Hoshimiya Mukuro was something to be praised for, but she doesn't understand the significance of her hair being touched by Hoshimiya Mukuro.

Although she shuts out her family's memories and her own emotions, essentially because she feels that her family doesn't value her, hair is a very important point as a medium, and now she will probably hold a deep grudge against Tohka.

Izayoi Mirai made up her mind.

Hoshimiya Rokuro's abilities are far too dangerous, especially since Tohka's spiritual power is sealed. If he were to launch a sneak attack, he could instantly kill Tohka.

Since I started this fight, I'll bear this hatred myself!

Izayoi Mirai fired a colorful beam of light, which struck Hoshimiya Rokuro directly.

As Hoshimiya Rokuro was unleashing his killing intent at Tohka, he suddenly felt a lightness on his head and the surrounding wind picked up considerably.

She sensed something was wrong, touched her hand, and found nothing there.

Yes, Izayoi Mirai just used her ability to alter matter to turn Hoshimiya Mukuro into a bald man.

A buzz cut and a bald head are the hairstyles that best reflect a person's appearance. It has to be said that Hoshimiya Mukuro is still quite beautiful even with a bald head, which shows that she is naturally beautiful!

Unfortunately, Hoshimiya Muku couldn't understand Izayoi Mirai's good intentions. His intense killing intent almost materialized, and his seal was aimed directly at Izayoi Mirai.

"Only you, Liu'er can never forgive!"

Space trembled violently, and a piercing alarm sounded—it was a spacequake alarm.

Izayoi Mirai reached out again to counteract the spatial quake, but it was much more difficult than before.

The layers of space unfolded, distorting Yosuke Mirai's vision and rapidly spreading towards him.

Those are spaces opened up by Hoshimiya Rokuro; if you're not careful and touch them, your body will be shredded.

Yosuke Mirai swiftly dodged and wiped away space with a wave of her hand. What the heck? So the power of the spirits is still subjective? Her strength increased considerably when she got angry.

I understand. When the combat power is a bit off, you can add a little bit of silly or absurd elements.

Chapter Thirty-Three: Changes

The two figures flashed and shimmered, fighting from inside the venue to outside, from the ground to the sky. Wherever they went, everything was flattened, and the buildings along the way were sheared away by their power. The broken space left no trace.

The venue, where a concert was just taking place, now has several large holes, is drafty, and looks like it's about to collapse.

When Hoshimiya Rokuki shook the space once again, the venue collapsed with a crash.

Kotori and the others protected Shiori. The hurricane, mixed with flames, swept away all the cement and rubble. A slight noise came from the rubble, and under their watchful eyes, a person crawled out of the rubble.

"Origami?"

Shiori was very surprised; she had been so engrossed in rehearsals these past few days that she hadn't seen Origami much.

Origami was in a terrible state. She was covered in dust, her clothes were tattered, and blood was dripping down her dirty clothes. She had been hit by broken stones and bricks. If she hadn't reacted quickly and squatted down in the corner, her injuries might have been even more serious.

"I am fine."

Not long after Mosaic left, Origami realized the fragility of being human; she couldn't even protect herself, let alone Shiori.

While suspecting that the mosaic had been tampered with, she also deeply hated her own weakness and powerlessness.

If only I had the power.

She developed a longing for the spirit crystal.

Origami walked towards home, ignoring even Shiori's calls.

Kotori sighed, "She seems to be discouraged. It's a pity she's not an elf, otherwise now would be a good time to win her over."

"Kotori!"

Shiori was a little angry. "Origami is also my friend. Even if she's not a fairy, I still have to comfort her."

Despite saying that, Shiori didn't set off. She was currently worried about Izayoi Mirai, who was fighting with Hoshimiya Muku, and had no mood to comfort others.

Origami disappeared from their sight, and when she reached a corner where no one could perceive her, Mosaic reappeared.

"Have you come to realize the fragility of being human?"

Mosaic now holds a glowing, rhombus-shaped gemstone.

"Accept my power."

This time, Origami did not refuse.

…………

Izayoi Mirai was still entangled with Hoshimiya Mukuro, and because Hoshimiya Mukuro had more skillful control over his power, Izayoi Mirai was at a disadvantage. However, she soon displayed the power of the other spirits.

The chilling air clung to Hoshiguro Rokuro like a maggot, and the light that emanated from the material was then cut off by Hoshiguro Rokuro, isolating it from his body.

Hoshimiya Rokuro's aura became increasingly ethereal, as if she had merged with heaven and earth, and her use of power became more and more skillful.

Yosuke paused, his inner energy also stirred, causing him to abandon his decision to crush the opponent with multiple abilities.

He put away all his other abilities and confronted Hoshiguma Rokuro with the Seal of Release in his hand.

The space pulsed like water; their figures vanished from their original spots and reappeared simultaneously in the far distance.

This time, Izayoi Mirai couldn't shake her off anymore. Their breaths were so intertwined that they could both anticipate each other's next move.

"put."

Hoshimiya Rokuro used another ability of the Sealed Master, fully unleashing her body's potential. Her spirit armor changed, and even the Sealed Master herself transformed into a halberd. Under these circumstances, her power output would reach its maximum.

She waved her hand forcefully, tearing through space. Yushou Mirai was almost cut in half. He waved his hand to smooth out the space, and flames surged from his body, healing his wounds.

Hoshimiya Rokuro's chest glowed, and her body became increasingly blurry and illusory, with only the spirit crystal shimmering with dazzling light.

The stimulation of the future made her more and more compatible with the spirit crystal, her eyes gradually became indifferent, the vast world diluted her emotions, and her aura became ethereal and indifferent.

Flames coiled around Izayoi Mirai, constantly repairing his new wounds while he continued to learn, becoming more and more like Hoshimiya Mukuro.

The wind moves like clouds, the clouds move like water, and countless raindrops fall like sharp swords.

Through continuous comprehension, the small world within Yosuke Mirai's body changed its operating mode, rearranging itself in a mysterious manner.

Light emanated from his body.

Wisdom and understanding shone like two bright lamps on his shoulders.

Compassion and strictness in his arms represent grace and punishment.

Victory and glory are often displayed on either side of the waist, signifying the angels.

Beauty resides in the chest, foundation in the abdomen, while the tenth primordial kingdom at the bottom is hidden in the void.

The nine primordial elements, arranged like a T-shaped frame, fixed him in the void, except for the crown on his head.

It turned out to be the case.

A sudden realization dawned on Yosuke Mirai. Although he had guessed that Kabbalah was a manifestation of the Way of Heaven, he had no idea how it worked. Now, he had finally grasped the basics.

Above his head, a halo appeared and disappeared, making him look like an angel. It was the prototype of a crown. If he could thoroughly analyze the power of the nine primordial elements and return to the origin, he could deduce the power of the crown with just some time.

The fractured space unfolded layer upon layer, and Izayoi Mirai smoothed it out with a wave of her hand. Hoshimiya Rokuro could no longer threaten her. In her understanding of the essence of "beauty," Izayoi Mirai, who had a similar understanding of other essences, was much more profound than Hoshimiya Rokuro.

In other words, she's no longer useful.

A book appeared before Yosuke Mirai, floating in front of him. It moved on its own without any wind, turning to the latest page. He held a gun in his left hand and a pen in his right.

With just a thought, Kurumi's skill, the City of Time, enveloped the two of them. Although in the next instant, Hoshimiya Mukuro tore through space and shattered the City of Time, that one moment of obstruction was enough. Izayoi Mirai had already pressed a gun to her forehead and pulled the trigger.

Snapped!

His body accelerated instantly, and with a stroke of his pen, he wrote a line on the book:

"Hoshimiya Rokuro will seal his own power."

This is the power of Nia Honjou. Her angels can not only see all the people and things in the world, but also clearly present their thoughts. More importantly, once written down in this book, the "Whispering Book," it will become a fact.

Hoshimiya Rokuro stiffly held the Sealed Master upside down in her hand and slowly pierced it into her body, as she struggled against the power of the [Whispering Tome].

Izayoi Mirai didn't just watch; she took a step forward and came behind Hoshimiya Rokuro, piercing her body with the same Sealed Master.

"close."

Hoshimiya Rokuro's power has disappeared. If this continues, her human emotions will be obliterated by the spirit crystal.

Naturally, without her power, Hoshimiya Mukuro's spirit dress also disappeared. Izayoi Mirai remained unmoved, waved her hand to turn her into a cat, forcibly suppressed her struggles, grabbed her by the scruff of her neck, and crossed space to return to Tengu City.

Then, the power of the nine primal substances within him began to stir. In his vision, a pure white angel descended from the sky and became entangled with Kotori and the others.
