Tokyo: My Superpower Refreshes Every Week-Chapter 566 - 564: Chitose’s Unique Secret Technique

Crackling, Gus pulled his hand from the wall, dislodging falling debris.

He was panting heavily, blood flowing out from inside the armor.

Bright red blood streamed across the pitch-black Berserker Armor.

Morimoto Chiyoda glanced to the side and shouted, "Can you hold on?"

"I won't fall until I've killed him."

Gus growled, blood dripping from his mouth to the ground, his mouth now entirely transformed into a shark's maw, filled with countless sharp shark teeth, looking especially menacing.

The Berserker Armor has a side effect, requiring his wrathful emotions and violent killing intent to feed it, enabling the armor to unleash immense power.

This is why, upon seeing Griffith, he immediately recalled the death of his comrades.

By using such scenes to provoke the rage in his heart, the Berserker Armor could unleash even greater power, though this tremendous power was also ravaging his body.

But Gus didn't care.

He disregarded his life and death, knowing clearly that to save the remaining members of the Hawk Band, he had to defeat Griffith.

Gus understood better than anyone that expecting Griffith to change his mind was impossible.

This person, from the beginning, had a personality of charging straight ahead upon setting a goal, a resolute character that attracted the Hawk Band to follow him, Gus included.

Until this resolute character not only guided them but began erasing them, Gus realized he should have noticed Griffith's character flaw sooner.

"I'll take him down!"

Saying this, the violence within Gus grew stronger, like a blood-soaked demon roaring in his heart, craving the fresh flesh of the enemy.

Through excruciating pain, he unleashed more formidable power, pushed off with his feet, and with a booming sonic explosion, the floor of the entire hall cracked like a spider web.

With this immense power, Gus shot like an arrow released from a bow towards Griffith, the heavy sword in his hand slicing through the clouds like lightning.

This earth-shattering strike did not cause Griffith to flinch; he swiftly raised his sword to block the heavy sword.

Clang~

It was still an unexpectedly light sound for a heavy sword.

At this moment, Morimoto Chiyoda didn't continue to watch; she astutely seized the moment and directly launched a long-range attack.

Cold air quickly condensed into a wave of ice on the ground, rapidly spreading towards Griffith's feet.

Creak, thick white frost ensnared Griffith's feet, resembling a heavy mass of white wax.

Simultaneously, Phoenix Academy Maggie kicked off, her rotund body exhibiting agile speed at that moment, quickly rolling forward due to the wind.

The claws of her hands sprang out, the invisible wind howling and forming ten three-meter-long wind blades slashing towards Griffith's face.

Outside the tower, clouds covered the sky, wind and rain persisted, as a lightning bolt tore through the clouds, thunder rumbled, and brief flashes of lightning illuminated the hall inside the tower.

At that instant, Griffith used his power.

He suddenly vanished from the three's field of vision, and as lightning flashed, darkness once again shrouded the hall inside the tower, fresh blood splattering in the dark.

Whoosh, the Skeleton Horse reared up, and Morimoto Chiyoda leaped back, seeing in front of her the horse's skull, wrapped in white bone, flip in the air before finally landing on the ground.

Griffith's pair of azure eyes remained as clear and bright as upon first sight, showing no sign of pollution. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

Yet they no longer conveyed the initial warmth, but instead an endless chill.

Morimoto Chiyoda swiftly formed an ice armor in the air, covering her entire body, landing on the ground.

Griffith shook the sword in his hand slightly and said, "Such a fine horse, it's a pity it followed the wrong master."

Wearing her skull mask, Morimoto Chiyoda revealed a smile, "Is that so? I think this horse followed the right master. That's why it could sacrifice for me."

"You are really narcissistic."

Even at such a critical moment, Phoenix Academy Maggie couldn't help but taunt her.

It's precisely at such a crisis moment that she wanted to mock her to relieve the pressure in her heart.

Though she had anticipated Griffith wouldn't be easy to deal with, only facing him in person did she realize his power far exceeded her imagination. The combined attack of the three was easily dismantled.

That teleportation-like ability, combined with Griffith's formidable swordsmanship, was terrifying.

Phoenix Academy Maggie had already draped herself in an invisible cloak of rushing winds, different small winds swirling to counter Griffith's teleportation-like attacks, preventing an instant kill.

"Shut up."

In her usually charming tone, Morimoto Chiyoda rarely held seriousness; she also quite liked that Skeleton Horse, loyal and protective, galloping the skies and traversing the earth with ease.

The icy blue flames in her eyes blazed intensely, further thickening the chill in the air.

Everyone's breath came out in pale wisps amid this environment.

In such surroundings, Griffith's expression remained calm, glancing outside the window, he murmured, "Time is almost up."

"What are you talking about?"

Morimoto Chiyoda asked, swinging her sword, as a large array of sharp ice spikes thrust upward from the ground.

Griffith stabbed the ground with his sword, an invisible tremor spread, splitting the incoming ice spikes into fragments, "I said, the ritual is about to begin."

He patiently answered Morimoto Chiyoda's query as if he were a robot devoid of emotion, or perhaps an intelligent AI.

But Morimoto Chiyoda knew well, the reason for this was that in his eyes, they didn't exist at all.

"Ah!"

Gus roared, and with a fierce kick of his legs, attempted to charge forward with his heavy sword.

A rumbling sound echoed as countless fleshy tendrils suddenly burst from the ground beneath his feet, swiftly wrapping around his body.

...

In the blink of an eye, the winds around Phoenix Academy Maggie spontaneously swirled, shredding the tendrils rushing towards her into minced meat. She controlled the whirlwind to expand rapidly, tearing apart the tendrils clinging to Gus's armor.

Then, both of them collided with the tower's peak, bursting out into the open air.

Morimoto Chiyoda's reaction was equally swift; she conjured an ice pillar beneath her feet, also bursting through the tower's top to the outside.

At the same time, the intense trembling caused the entire spire to collapse like a sandcastle.

Morimoto Chiyoda saw several blood-red tentacles rising from the ground around Windham, the buildings and earth rapidly crumbling as if the dragon of the land was turning over.

From atop those tentacles, tiny tendrils extended indiscriminately attacking all nearby life forms.

Knights, civilians, the Demi-Demon Legion, even a single chicken wasn't spared.

Those tendrils sought to devour all living creatures.

The earth trembled, the gigantic tentacles resembling a languid beauty slowly rising.

The once-falling rain finally ceased, thick clouds stained blood-red.

A black sun hung in the sky, its endless crimson light spilling from the sun's edges onto the earth, turning the whole world a blood-red hue.

Not just Windham; as Morimoto Chiyoda gazed into the distance, she found the crimson light spreading rapidly across the land.

Trees withered and decayed under its glow, and the earth appeared desolate, devoid of life.

Clatter, ice paths formed beneath Morimoto Chiyoda's feet to prevent her from touching the ground in the air, "What is this, Gus?!"

"I don't know, I have no idea!"

Gus responded, watching as Windham's army, civilians, and members of the Hawk Band were attacked and devoured by the blood-red tendrils.

He roared in rage, "Griffith, stop it!"

"Gus, to save the majority, we need the Hawk of Light."

Griffith sheathed the sword at his waist, standing atop a mass of flesh that pierced through the houses, quickly ascending into the sky.

It was at this moment that Morimoto Chiyoda clearly saw that those tentacles were actually five fingers.

An arm, only a giant could possess, emerged from Windham's ground, destroying the entire city, the five fingers erect, as if to grasp the blood-red clouds in its palm.

Underneath that black sun, the blood-red world and the palm depicted a desolate and hopeless apocalypse.

Especially with that hand's surface piled with life forms, from animals to plants to humans.

It was much like Emily's description of the Tree of Life.

Could it be that the Tree of Life is like a lizard's tail, regenerate one after another once consumed?

Morimoto Chiyoda recalled the stories of devouring too many monsters, leading someone to transform into a giant Dread Emperor, "Griffith, do you intend to become like that ugly Dread Emperor?"

"Struggler, evolution is always accompanied by ugliness."

Griffith replied softly as fleshy tendrils pierced into his body from the blood-red fleshy palm beneath his feet.

"Ah!" His calm expression twisted into one of agony, as if bearing immense pain.

Blue veins burst through his skin, blood vessels entwining outside his body.

In an instant, Griffith transformed into a faceless figure clad in blood-red armor like a mannequin in a store.

"Miss, we should retreat for now."

Morimoto Chiyoda did not wish to continue fighting. She felt that even if the three of them combined forces, they couldn't defeat the current Griffith.

Phoenix Academy Maggie nodded.

Reality was not a comic, and she wasn't the protagonist. Facing an immense power gap, bursting forth was impossible.

Sometimes, retreating is necessary.

Only by staying alive can one consider how to reclaim their body in the future. Charging ahead now would leave no chance for later.

"Griffith?!"

Ignoring the whirlwind's obstruction, Gus kicked off into the void, wielding his heavy sword to strike down at Griffith.

Phoenix Academy Maggie's eyes flashed with astonishment, then quickly understood his intentions.

Everything Gus held dear was in Windham. With everything destroyed, being rational, and assessing the enemy's strength compared to his own was truly fearsome.

What should be done?

The pride within Phoenix Academy Maggie's heart made her unwilling to abandon her comrades; such an act felt cowardly.

"Damn it!" Phoenix Academy Maggie roared, her claws gathering fierce winds to attack Griffith.

"..."

Morimoto Chiyoda resolutely abandoned the two and turned to flee.
