Tokyo: My Superpower Refreshes Every Week-Chapter 808 - 800: Heroes Emerge in Times of Crisis

The hall was spacious, with Xius sitting on a chair made of gold. His height was over two meters, dressed in excessively opulent clothing, with a pale complexion and golden long hair casually cascading over his shoulders.

In front of him lay a banquet of wine and meat.

A number of young women danced gracefully here, like tireless puppets.

They danced until the skin on their feet was torn, leaving bloody footprints on the ground, yet they were not allowed to stop their dance.

Thunderous echoes reverberated in the grand hall.

Xius raised his head, silver chains propelling the golden wedge, like self-guided missiles targeting every guard present.

And through the opening, a golden-haired girl shouted angrily, "Sword of Promised Victory!"

She drew her sword, and in the air a golden sword of light swiftly condensed, exuding a momentum capable of annihilating everything, slashing down from above.

"Ah!"

The guards present cried out in fright, yet no one worried about Xius's safety.

The people within the dominion had suffered under the Earl for too long.

Xius remained calm, grabbing grapes in front of him with one hand while raising the other.

Bang, the golden sword of light was grasped by his hand, unable to advance an inch.

The bright sunlight shone down through the crack of the sword, while the dancers looked up from below, as if the azure sky had narrowed to a slit, so beautiful it brought them to tears.

They had forgotten how long it had been since they last saw the sky.

"Nani?!"

Phoenix Academy Maggie's eyes widened, never expecting that her full-force strike could be blocked by the opponent with just one hand.

Xius raised his head, his lips curling slightly, "What's so surprising about this?

You're not the first to attempt to assassinate me, nor will you be the last."

He exerted force with one hand, and with a snap, the light sword formed by the Sword of Promised Victory shattered.

It scattered into golden light points drifting in the air.

Boom! A burst of fiery red flame suddenly shot in front of Phoenix Academy Maggie. She wielded the Sword of Promised Victory, only to feel the flame was extraordinarily resilient, unable to be cut through with her sword.

The terrifying high temperature evaporated the air.

As she inhaled, there was a stifling feeling of suffocation.

During the brief standoff, the Heavenly Lock quickly coiled around Phoenix Academy Maggie's waist, dragging her outwards.

All the Heavenly Locks that had surged into the palace were being withdrawn.

"Trying to escape? Too late."

Xius's faint voice echoed in Phoenix Academy Maggie's ears, causing her vision to suddenly turn blood red.

Billowing flames surged, their color like scarlet blood, drowning all the scenery of this world.

Boom, the palace instantaneously burst into magma, where the guards and dancers without exception were burnt to ashes by the high temperature, falling into the magma.

Layers of magma floated with black ashes, exploding outward and spreading.

"Ah!"

The residents within Krus City screamed in terror, and then everything fell silent.

Layers of Heavenly Locks blocked in front.

The two rose from the ground into the air, as the scorching temperature permeated through the Heavenly Locks, causing them to sweat.

Through the gaps in the Heavenly Locks, Phoenix Academy Maggie observed the changes within Krus City below.

Nothing remained; the flames had burned everything to ashes.

The white buildings, the water city that would astound modern people were replaced by charred remains, even the immense natural lake had evaporated.

Wisps of steam rose like dense post-rain fog. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

Amid the blazing blood flames, Xius walked unhurriedly, holding a sword ablaze.

"Madman!"

Phoenix Academy Maggie snarled.

She never expected the opponent to be this maniacal.

Just because of one assassination attempt, he directly killed all the people in the city.

Xius showed a sickly smile, "Madman?

That's quite an unexpected title.

Merely doing these things isn't enough to qualify as madness.

Only by killing more people, destroying more things.

Ruining everything in this world can one truly be called a madman."

At this point, Xius looked up at the two in the sky and softly said, "I should thank you.

If you hadn't come, I probably would have had the guards kill all the city's residents, and then let them slaughter each other, wouldn't even bother to draw the sword.

Your arrival made me feel like drawing the sword."

Xius casually drew a circle in front of him, quickly paired with the burning sword, like a blood moon appearing on the spot.

Immediately, the blood moon spread rapidly.

A thunderous roar echoed in the air, as the surging flames instantly engulfed the two, with Hojo Shouko placing tens of thousands of Heavenly Locks in front.

The silver Heavenly Locks turned a faint red under the intense heat.

The heat seeped through the Heavenly Locks.

Hojo Shouko frowned tightly, "Phoenix Academy's Senior, we don't seem to be able to beat him, let's leave first."

"Mm."

Phoenix Academy Maggie nodded.

The enemy's strength was unfathomably great, no wonder Naraku dared not take action against Xius personally.

But summoning them was of no use.

The two teamed up couldn't defeat the opponent.

Not to mention defeating, even blocking Xius's attack was extremely difficult.

Xius's attack range was vast.

The scarlet flames, whether caused by Noble Phantasm or inherent power, just a swing, would cover the sky and earth.

Phoenix Academy Maggie conservatively estimated it to cover at least several hundred miles, and possibly not the upper limit of the opponent's attack range.

And the sword she swung, Xius could catch with bare hands.

How to fight this?

It's completely impossible to fight!

Phoenix Academy Maggie is strong, not foolish.

Faced with such an unbeatable enemy and nothing behind her worth protecting.

She wouldn't stand there and say she must fight the enemy to the death.

But figuring out how to escape is another matter.

The opponent clearly wouldn't let them leave easily.

After thinking briefly, Phoenix Academy Maggie shouted, "We shouldn't stay in the sky. Let's descend using the steam as cover and see if we can escape them."

"Alright."

Hojo Shouko chose to listen, manipulating the Heavenly Lock to envelop them both and swiftly extending downward.

In less than a second, they passed through the crimson sea of fire and dropped into the steam that looked like a fairyland.

Everything was white and blinding; they couldn't see a thing.

Xius looked down, seeing only a golden light flashing within the steam, followed by a booming sound.

"Having the courage unmatched to one's strength, struggling so pathetically on the ground is truly delightful～"

He waved his sword, and a massive burst of flame exploded from its tip, evaporating the fairyland-like steam in an instant.

The earth became a barren cracked land, revealing even the fissures cut by the Sword of Promised Victory.

Xius stomped, instantly appearing at the end of the fissure.

He stood, surveying the blackened rocks beneath him.

"An illusion." He murmured, tilting his head, his body blurred, disappearing from where he stood.

The next second, he appeared on a mountain peak ten miles away.

The Heavenly Lock, like a large silver cloud, skimmed low over the forest, carrying Phoenix Academy Maggie and Hojo Shouko forward.

Seeing Xius on the mountain peak, their hearts sank simultaneously.

The speed of the opponent was clearly beyond their imagination, making escape impossible.

"You do have a bit of cleverness, but not enough. Die."

Xius swung his sword fiercely, and surging flames exploded.

With a boom, the mountain beneath him turned to scattered molten lava, and all the trees were reduced to ashes in the flames.

Phoenix Academy Maggie's eyes widened.

Not out of fear, but because she realized the direction of the attack was opposite to where they were.

Did his eyes go wrong?

"Maggie, Shouko, don't just stand there, run!"

A familiar voice came from behind, and the two turned their heads in chorus, "Aozawa?" "Aozawa-senpai!"

"Now's not the time for questions, my Will-o'-the-wisp won't hold for long!"

Aozawa's tone was full of urgency, and a hint of anxiety on his face.

The two didn't have time to ask why he was here and quickly followed his advice.

Heavenly Lock carried the three of them, rapidly extending to the left.

Within a few breaths, Hojo Shouko couldn't see Xius's figure anymore and landed at a place in the mountains.

A clear stream flowed quietly by their side.

Phoenix Academy Maggie stooped down, splashing the stream water onto her face, its coolness seemingly replenishing the evaporated moisture.

"Whew, Aozawa, were you also sent here by Naraku?"

Phoenix Academy Maggie looked up and asked.

Aozawa spread his hands and said, "I don't know, when I was in my room, the space started to ripple like waves.

Then a portal appeared, bringing me here.

I encountered a group of people babbling, I didn't understand, so I aimlessly ran.

Then I heard the sound of battle and came over to see you fighting that strange person.

Who is he?

So strong, my Will-o'-the-wisp can't control him for long."

"His name is Xius, he is the Earl of this territory, an extremely brutal guy.

We were summoned from Tokyo by Naraku, to eliminate Xius. Only by killing him can we return to Tokyo."

Phoenix Academy Maggie briefly explained the situation, touching her chin.

If Aozawa is with them, they might have a chance to win.

Xius is so brutal now because he lost his three lovers.

If she could learn the looks of Xius's three lovers and have Aozawa use Will-o'-the-wisp to present them, it could create an opportunity to kill Xius.

The problem now is, where can they get portraits of the lovers?

Phoenix Academy Maggie pondered for a moment, looking around, and shouted, "Naraku, you must be watching our actions from nearby.

Do you have portraits of Xius's three lovers?"

Aozawa, hearing this, immediately chose to stop time, using the backdoor left by the Gamification ability to bring Naraku onto the scene.

"No, but I know where you can get portraits of Xius's lovers."

A slow voice arose unexpectedly.

Phoenix Academy Maggie turned around to see Naraku, wrapped in silver-white baboon fur, sitting on a pitch-black staff, seemingly unbothered by the potential discomfort.

She pushed aside that thought and asked, "Where can we get portraits of his lovers?"

"The underground tomb he built for his lovers, but if you enter the deepest part of the tomb, Xius will surely notice, and you won't be able to escape then."

With these words, Naraku tossed down a map and vanished.

Phoenix Academy Maggie lamented internally, thinking if the three had united, it might be easier to keep Naraku here.

But he was too cautious to stay long.

She bent down to pick up the map.
