Tokyo: My Superpower Refreshes Every Week-Chapter 698 - 696: A Marked Man Awaiting Death

"No!"

Iwasaki Misa let out a sharp scream and immediately sat up from the luxurious single bed, looking around at the familiar hotel bedroom.

She looked down; her clothes weren't stained with any dirt, and even her broken chest had restored the full curves that men lusted after. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

But Iwasaki Misa's face was deathly pale, devoid of all color.

She couldn't believe she had been eliminated in the third round of the trial.

How could this happen?!

It was completely different from the plan!

Astonishment and regret finally turned into deep resentment.

It was all Aozawa and Sunaga Takashi's fault!

If they had been willing to help, she wouldn't have been eliminated.

Grinding her teeth tightly, Iwasaki Misa's ferocious expression disappeared as she suddenly remembered the important task and quickly took out her phone to call her father.

With a beep, her father's cheerful voice came from the other end, "Misa, have you caught that monster so quickly?

You're indeed my daughter!"

Iwasaki Misa took a deep breath and weakly said, "Father, I've been eliminated by the monster."

With these words, there was a brief silence on the other end, followed by an angry roar.

"What?! You useless fool!"

One moment she was daddy's little darling, the next she turned into a disappointment.

Iwasaki Sousuke was truly furious.

With his daughter being chosen, he had gained leverage from the other four great families and the United States political scene.

He had hoped to use this opportunity to escape Kochou's control.

After all, who would choose to be a sycophant if they could be the boss?

But he hadn't expected that his daughter would be eliminated so quickly, enduring only two rounds of trials.

"Father, I couldn't help it, the monster was too strong."

"Shut up, I don't want to hear your excuses, I'm meeting the Prime Minister soon.

You better forge a good connection with Miss Miki, don't care about face, you must stay by her side to work!"

Iwasaki Sousuke's face turned grim; losing his daughter as a leverage, he needed to swiftly return to the Prime Minister's side, acting as a loyal dog.

He had to act before the other four conglomerates sold him out and sell them out first.

The Mitsubishi Group would always be the Prime Minister's right-hand man!

He was the Prime Minister's most loyal dog, biting wherever directed, without any objections.

Iwasaki Sousuke also knew that his repeated wavering wasn't good, but compared to reputation, he cared more about tangible benefits.

Fortunately, he hadn't completely shown hostility towards Kochou previously; he cooperated while secretly maintaining relations with the other four conglomerate families.

The time to not be able to kneel had not yet arrived, and he was naturally willing to kneel down to secure his own wealth and glory.

As for power, he could only say that maintaining the status quo was victory.

...

In Anchorage, under the leaden sky, Magus stood on the rocky ground, flicking the blood from his hand.

His vertical pupils scanned the two teenagers standing at the edge, saying in a somewhat hoarse voice, "Next, it's your turn."

His tail swung gently behind him.

The coldness spread like poison silently in the air.

Aozawa appeared relaxed, tilting his head, "Are you going, or should I?"

Sunaga Takashi stepped forward, "Let me."

"Alright."

Aozawa shrugged.

The cold wind carried their conversation into Magus's ears, causing the face covered in mottled green scales to show a hint of annoyance, as the three green pupils in his vertical eyes rotated.

"Very well, I like your confident demeanor. I hope you can maintain this confidence in a moment."

As he spoke, his body leaned slightly forward, pushing off with both feet the moment he finished speaking.

The rocky ground beneath his feet shattered into pieces, as he charged forward at an incredible speed.

Each green scale on his body wasn't simply draped over his skin; they shifted with his speed, minimizing wind resistance to the maximum extent.

Magus wasn't tearing through the air; he was becoming part of it, swimming freely in the wind, achieving speeds beyond human imagination.

This was the best proof of his evolved physique.

Unlike the fragile human body, a truly advanced organism must possess adaptability to survive in any harsh environment.

The lava pool of a volcano, the ten-thousand-meter deep sea, outer space...

Only life forms capable of such feats could be considered advanced.

And Magus was currently the ultimate being surpassing the life forms of this planet.

Sooner or later, he might even surpass the great existence that granted him power.

As for other life forms, they were nothing more than delicacies to satisfy his hunger.

He rushed forward like a green streak.

Sunaga Takashi didn't idly stand by, instead he actively confronted him.

This action rendered the originally short distance of several hundred meters into a collision risk in less than a second.

Magus's vertical pupils flashed with a hint of ruthlessness, preferring to see wailing, pleading, like Iwasaki Misa's behavior, over others facing him with courage and determination.

While he could openly express displeasure and ridicule, there was a certain satisfaction in his heart.

For the calm-faced Sunaga Takashi, he only wanted to tear into him with his claws.

To make him feel fear, to see that calm face filled with pleas for mercy.

Black mist swirled around Magus's claw as he reached forward.

Sunaga Takashi drew his sword.

The magical treasure he possessed was the Thunder Sword, as the name suggests, when the sword was unsheathed, blue lightning intertwined around the sword, making the blade invisible.

The air burst with the crackling sound of electric currents.

The black and blue light flashed in the air, sparking a series of fire sparks.

Two figures crossed paths.

...

"Hey."

Magus halted his forward steps, looked down at his chest, where a long wound appeared, scales shattered.

His eyes grew fiercer, yet a bizarre smile appeared on his face, "Hehe, you do have some skill!"

The seemingly complimentary tone contained madness and brutality, like an injured furious monkey roaring.

Only due to pride did Magus not fly into a complete rage.

Sunaga Takashi turned around, staring at that wound, realizing his power was still lacking, or perhaps the opponent's defense was strong.

Hard confrontation is not the best strategy, the previous strike made him feel numb at the tiger's mouth, so it's better to adopt a maneuvering tactic to increase the opponent's injuries with technique.

Sunaga Takashi devised a plan in his mind, without any nonsense, he wasn't the type to talk trash during battle.

Silently, he lunged forward without a sound.

Magus's vertical pupil with three dark green pupils watched Sunaga Takashi's movements.

He saw clearly the moving path and the sword-swinging action, a sinister smile appeared on his cheeks.

Paws waved like a stroke of black lightning towards the abdomen.

Missed.

Instead, another sword wound appeared under Magus's ribs, a look of astonishment flashed across his face, what happened?

He clearly saw the opponent's attack, yet still failed to defend against Sunaga Takashi's sword.

Or rather, he should have blocked it, but Sunaga Takashi underwent new changes in an extremely short time.

His launched attack was like a wind destroying all things in the world.

And Sunaga Takashi's sword was precisely the leaf in the wind.

With any change in the wind, the leaf would know it instantly, and make adjustments, be it moving slightly, moving a lot, or not moving at all.

In less than a second, Magus unleashed hundreds of claw strikes, resulting in dozens of wounds on his body.

Each wound was shallow, not fatal, but such embarrassment made Magus exceptionally furious.

"Bastard! Let's see how you dodge!"

Magus gave up the competition of technique and bothered not to pursue his body, the body surface's black mist surged, expanded, attacking indiscriminately around.

Rolling black mist enveloped a radius of hundreds of meters.

Sunaga Takashi had no choice but to channel electricity through his body to counter the corrosive black mist.

Sizzle, feeling a sting on the surface.

Sunaga Takashi felt his heart sink, he didn't continue attacking Magus, instead swiftly left the black mist.

He rushed out of the black mist's range.

The sun covered by lead clouds and compared to the black mist, could be called brightness.

The bright lead clouds in Sunaga Takashi's eyes were suddenly torn by a black shadow, Magus, cloaked in black mist, like an eagle from the nine heavens spotting a rabbit on the ground, immediately swooped downward.

The wicked wind cut like a knife to the face.

Sunaga Takashi thrust forward three times in an instant.

Each thrust precisely hit Magus, yet ignored by its body defense, its tail viciously swiped from the right.

He had to use the scabbard to block.

Bam!

Sunaga Takashi fell like a meteor onto the ground, cracking the whole road.

Rolling his body along the road for a hundred meters like crumbling tofu, debris splashed.

Finally, the body crashed with a bang against a street lamp post at the corner, stopping.

Dust flew up like a dragon rising to the sky.

"Haha!"

Magus laughed heartily, feeling the vexing pressure in his heart relieved, standing in the air, he boasted, "Your technique is indeed impressive, but only to an impressive extent."

Sunaga Takashi got up, shook off the rubble, looked up, expression still indifferent, pondering how to counter the black mist.

The conclusion: impossible.

Technique in battle can secure a victory under conditions.

Against such an attack that disregards any technique, directly adopting large-scale destructive attacks.

Sunaga Takashi honestly had no good countermeasures.

After all, the corrosive ability of the black mist was too strong, just staying a while, his clothes were already corroding.

"Should we switch?"

Aozawa lightly landed on the opposite street lamp, arms crossed.

Sunaga Takashi paused for a moment and said, "The opponent is not weak, we should best work together to resolve it."

"Arrogance is humanity's original sin, apparently, the wisdom in books is not empty words."

Magus showed a disdainful smile.

The gap between creatures cannot be bridged by boasting, sheep cannot kill lions, this is nature's law.

Aozawa gripped the sword handle, laughed, "Sunaga, to me, it's just someone selling their own head for money."

To be honest, Guan Yu's words are indeed impressive.

Must learn from them.
