Tokyo: My Superpower Refreshes Every Week-Chapter 687 - 685: The Young Couple Has No Martial Ethics

The disadvantage of a one-time magical treasure revealed itself at this moment, which is insufficient follow-through.

The Frost Decree could only block the first wave of flames. The second wave, like a neighbor lady's red lips, melted the ice and reabsorbed the trapped flames inside.

In an instant, the firelight soared to the skies!

Fatima's ink-like cheeks hadn't changed a bit.

As an assassin, from her debut until now, she completed forty-six missions and had failed six times.

Each time represented a badge of honor for surviving near-death experiences.

Her experiences of dancing at the edge of the Gate of Hell honed Fatima's will and forged a cold heart.

Once she enters the assassin state, any emotion will be stripped from her body.

Fatima reached with her right hand to her thigh and pulled out her most powerful magical treasure, the Chaos Silk Ribbon.

The crimson Chaos Silk Ribbon flipped lightly in the air.

The invisible vibrations caused the approaching flames to scatter on the spot, the flames consuming all the surrounding trees and snow.

The entire world seemed to turn into a sea of fire.

The crackling sounds were the wailing cries of numerous trees in the flames.

Arakawa Reina kept shaking the Flag of Flaming Light Off the Ground.

The waves of fire surged with power, wave after wave, relentlessly attacking Fatima.

Unwilling to be outdone, she brandished the Chaos Silk Ribbon to counterattack.

Upon seeing this, Arakawa Reina changed her tactics, manipulating the flames to rapidly swirl on the outside, forming a fire tornado that seemed to pierce the heavens and earth.

Then, the flames layers wrapped inward, leaving Fatima no chance to disperse them.

However, she devised her own response, waving the Chaos Silk Ribbon in a circular motion in the sky, no longer scattering the flames but seizing control over their rotation, creating a fire-isolated zone, as tranquil as the center of a whirlpool beneath her feet.

The two presented a stalemate.

It's not that they didn't want to use other magical treasures, but during such a standoff, diverting attention and energy to use other magical treasures would unavoidably create a slight slip, which the enemy could exploit to launch a decisive blow.

This is why Fatima was willing to choose to sell her magical treasures.

There are many magical treasures, but human energy is limited; it is simply impossible to use multiple magical treasures simultaneously.

At most, before battle or during an ambush, one can have more options.

But in a direct confrontation, there isn't enough time to use multiple magical treasures.

Like now, either the Chaos Silk Ribbon takes away the flames first, or the fire dragon engulfs Fatima's Chaos Silk Ribbon.

Unless a third party joins in to create a new variable.

Fatima understood that Saffit was not someone who would retreat easily.

...

On the mountain peak, Saffit first took out a one-time magical treasure, the Thousand Mile Eye, granting himself the eyesight to view the scenery below, aiming for the boy's position.

He opened the crimson gourd and poured out the 49 Sun God Needles.

Each needle was extremely slender, undetectable, just like light falling on the back of one's head, with no one able to feel the weight of light.

Saffit manipulated the 49 Sun God Needles to swiftly pass through the forest, attacking the boy standing there.

The whirring wind from the swinging Chaos Silk Ribbon and the roaring flames didn't prevent Aozawa from catching that slight sound of something breaking through the air.

He locked onto the direction, not dodging, but pushed off the ground with both feet, actively charging toward the incoming direction of the Sun God Needles.

As he advanced, the Demon-Subduing Sword drew graceful arcs in the air.

Ding ding, ding ding.

The Demon-Subduing Sword swept through the snowfall, producing a crisp humming, with dozens of sparks exploding around Aozawa, each spark being a Sun God Needle sliced by the blade.

His steps did not falter, viewing the rugged mountain path as flat ground, directly charging toward the mountain peak.

Saffit showed surprise; using the Sun God Needles to ambush others had always been his unerring specialty.

The prior two girls couldn't even detect the Sun God Needles' trace before being struck.

Yet, the boy before him blocked them all.

So troublesome.

Saffit's eyes darkened, launching a second plan in his heart, waving the gourd up and down.

The originally invisible Sun God Needles suddenly shone golden; in such a state, their presence would be more easily exposed to sight, but their speed and power would be exponentially increased.

The 49 Sun God Needles attacked Aozawa relentlessly at supersonic speed.

From top to bottom, attempting to find weaknesses around him.

But the Demon-Subduing Sword, wielded by Aozawa, was wielded with powerful grace, turned into an impermeable blade barrier.

From front to back, from top to bottom, no attack could penetrate his Demon-Subduing Sword.

A surge of panic arose in Saffit's heart, but he quickly suppressed it and immediately took out his most powerful one-time magical treasure from the Palm World.

Earth Dragon Command.

"Earth!"

He shouted, pressing the Earth Dragon Command onto the ground.

In an instant, the mountain beneath them began to collapse; boulders and soil rapidly coalesced into a hideous earth dragon, which poured downwards like a breached dam's floodwaters.

The earth dragon ravaged everything in its wake.

The white snow was buried under the murky earth, sturdy trees as fragile as potato chips.

Amidst the earth-shaking, the earth dragon carried a posture of annihilating all things toward Aozawa, its mouth opening to swallow him whole.

At the same time, Saffit exerted full control over the Sun God Needles to attack.

The golden Sun God Needles flickered through the air, a trajectory seemingly forming a continuous fishing net sweeping down.

The battlefield brimmed with hidden perils.

Aozawa's eyes widened, the Demon-Subduing Sword surged with golden streams, instantly transforming into a flamboyant feather garment spread across his body.

His eyes seemed to have a golden flame dancing within.

The pitch-black thread stretched upward, and Aozawa swung the Demon-Subduing Sword along the thread, causing the net woven by the Sun God Needle to collapse instantly.

He swiftly moved forward.

The blade traveled along the dark lines all the way up.

The Earth Dragon disintegrated in an instant.

Aozawa seemed to be in a world where no one existed, like a swift wind brushing through a mountain forest, reaching Saffit.

Saffit was shocked, attempting to fight back, but it was already too late.

Only a streak of arc light flashed in the air. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Saffit's whole body transformed into a beam of white light shooting skyward.

...

"Ah!"

With a shout, Saffit abruptly sat up in the captain's cabin, reaching for his neck, relieved to find his head still attached, beads of sweat forming on his forehead.

In front of him was the familiar room, the walls plastered with gaudy posters of female stars, resembling the signs of entertainment clubs.

Everything in the room exuded a crude air, most of which was unrelated to Saffit, who was merely a guest staying temporarily.

Saffit let go of his hand, leaped forward with foot strength, easily clearing the table, landing by the door.

The physical enhancements gained from the first trial don't disappear after failing the second trial.

Relieved by this answer, yet filled with regret.

Ah, Alaska is indeed an interesting place.

Pity, life is always full of surprises.

He was defeated by a mere youth.

That wonderful trial will forever pass away.

If there's any comfort, it's that he successfully traded the Magical Treasure obtained from the first trial.

Saffit, feeling melancholic, decided not to stay any longer in the enclosed captain's cabin, opened the door, and was greeted by a sea breeze.

He gazed at the blue sky and sea, taking a deep breath, seemingly smelling the saltiness in the wind.

Now, it's time to return to the usual life.

The arms on this ship must be delivered on time to one of Japan's largest violent gangs, the Higashino Group.

As for what they want to do with this shipment capable of arming three thousand people?

It's none of his business.

Saffit is merely an arms transporter, never picking clients.

Whether dictator or rebellion against tyranny, as long as they pay, they're his customers.

He looked far into the distance, gradually shedding his melancholy.

Timing is excellent now, as Alaska State is drawing attention from high-level officials of various countries.

If nothing goes wrong, he can transport the arms to the port the day after tomorrow, smoothly completing the deal.

...

Boom!

Flames entwined around, and Arakawa Reina saw Aozawa returning, shouting inside, "Your companion is already dead. If you have a Companion Talisman, I can let you go."

While speaking, the flame attack slowed.

Arakawa Reina gently waved the Flag of Flaming Light Off the Ground, quickly retracting the attacking flames.

With Aozawa beside her, she wasn't afraid of the opponent running away.

Fatima stood still, forming a circular snowy ground with a five-meter radius centered around her.

Beyond that was scorched earth.

She looked toward the mountain peak; where once stood the Pine Forest, now covered by shattered soil and rock, as if just hit by a massive landslide.

Clearly, Saffit had failed.

Fatima turned back, sighed, "Youngsters are truly terrifying.

You've won; I indeed have a Companion Talisman in the Sleeve Universe, but how can I ensure you won't break your promise?"

"Do you have any other choice?"

Arakawa Reina asked plainly.

Aozawa gripped the sword hilt, at this distance, his drawing speed absolutely surpasses Fatima's speed using the Magical Treasure.

This is the balance limit in the game; there are many kinds of one-time Magical Treasures, and some are extremely powerful.

But they require uttering a single word when used.

In terms of time, it's far inferior to a Magical Treasure like the Demon-Subduing Sword.

After a moment of silence, Fatima sighed, "You're right, now I can only hope for your mercy and trust in your ethical standards."

The ethical standards Fatima usually cared little about had now become her potential hope to avoid elimination.

Life is truly ironic, she thought, as she took out a Companion Talisman from the Sleeve Universe.

She tried to utter a name, but glanced at Aozawa's hand on the sword hilt.

The young man's face was calm, eyes revealing tranquility, like a deep lake without ripples.

Fatima pondered and ultimately dared not take the risk, tossing the Companion Talisman forward.

Arakawa Reina reached out her right hand to catch it, smiling, "Good, I'll let you go."

Fatima's face changed dramatically, realizing the loophole in those words, thinking the young ones lack martial ethics!

Aozawa dashed forward, Demon-Subduing Sword drawn like lightning, never having uttered a word of mercy.

Slash!
