"What, what is this?!"
Zuo Tianlei could feel the power of the wind contained in the blade. The wind seemed to resonate with him, and it was filled with a strange flow … Oh, is this the perfect model that Mr. Fangzheng mentioned? Not only that, even though the blade was so big, it looked as light as a feather. It wasn't heavy at all.... Wait a minute!
At this moment, Zuo Tianlei was surprised to find that the blue-haired girl who was originally by his side had disappeared!
"Eh? Eh? Where's the child? "
[Be careful]
Just as Zuo Tianlei was looking around, the blue-haired young lady's voice suddenly rang in her mind. Then, she saw the polluted creature charging at her!
"Wah!"
[Concentrate, gather your strength, and slash down]
"Ah.... yes!"
Tears didn't know what was going on, but she still followed the voice in her mind. She raised the Wind Blade in her hand and slashed down at the Polluted Beast in front of her. However, a scene that Teardrop couldn't imagine happened just like that.
"Whoosh — —!!"
As Tears swung her sword, a wind blade as thick as her arm shot out from the blade and instantly split the Polluted Beast in half. The moment the wind blade penetrated the Polluted Beast's body, it exploded and turned into a raging gale that tore the Polluted Beast into pieces from the inside!
"Wah!"
Lei Zi was shocked as well when she saw this. She hadn't expected that this sword strike would be so powerful!
It must be noted that even with the help of Fangzheng's artifact, Tears's ability was only around lvl 3. The wind blade she released was only as thick as a thumb, and that was the result of her exerting all her strength. But just now, Tears only felt a slight exertion of strength, but it produced a force similar to pushing a thousand catties with four ounces of force.... She didn't understand the term, but if she were to describe it in words, she felt like she had unleashed a lvl 4 power with her lvl 2 ability!
That was terrifying!!
[Careful, it's coming again]
But Tears didn't have the time to be distracted by this. The voice in her mind rang again, so she hurriedly focused her mind and looked forward again. At this time, the polluted beasts from other places had also rushed over and surrounded Zuo Tianlei Zi.
"Let's break out first!"
Zuo Tianlei was no ordinary girl. After all, she had seen so many strange things with Fangzheng. Now that she had come to her senses, she could probably guess that the sword that had appeared out of nowhere had something to do with the blue-haired girl from before. Therefore, she immediately converged her psyche, swept the blade, and ran towards the path where she had vanquished the Corrupted Beast.
That was the difference between Zuotian Lei and Misaka Mikoto. If Misaka Mikoto was in his shoes, she would not leave until the Contaminated Beasts were dead. However, Zuotian Lei was different. After all, she was originally a powerless person. She did not have the domineering aura of a lvl 5 like Misaka Mikoto. Therefore, she was more clear-headed in battle.
Zuotian Lei had her own judgment when to fight and when to run. She did not know how many Contaminated Beasts there were, and she did not know how long the sword could last. Instead of fighting to the death, it was better for her to escape to a safe place. She had caused such a huge commotion that Mr. Fangzheng must have noticed her long ago. As long as she could hold on until Mr. Fangzheng came to rescue her, she would be fine!
With that thought in mind, Zuotian Lei immediately turned around and dashed towards the direction where the polluted beast that she had torn apart was. Although the path was filled with blood and a foul stench because of the Contaminated Beast that she had torn apart, Zuotian Lei did not care about that. She gritted her teeth and activated Gale, speeding forward.
Behind Zuotian Lei, the Contaminated Beasts were hot on her heels. They were not as big as the ones that Fangzheng had encountered previously, so they were much faster. If Zuotian Lei had not listened to Fangzheng's advice and used Gale to speed up, the Contaminated Beasts would have caught up to her by now.
Even so, her good luck soon came to an end. Very soon, Zuotian Lei saw that the path in front of her had been cut off once again. All that was left was a section of wreckage, and below it was a bottomless abyss.
However, Lei had no other choice.
"Heyah …!!"
Looking at the broken metal bridge in front of her, Lei gritted her teeth and leaped forward. She then raised the longsword in her hand and pointed it downward. The next moment, a roaring gale shot out and carried Lei up into the sky! It was obvious that the Contaminated Beasts did not have the ability to fly. Since they could not stop in time, they fell from the edge of the metal bridge.
"Hahaha, I did it!"
Lei heaved a sigh of relief. She had thought of using the wind to fly a long time ago, but her ability level was too low, so she couldn't do it at all. Just now, Lei Zi was just trying her luck. After all, with the help of this sword, she was able to unleash Lv 4 strength, so she should be able to fly!
But the truth was just as Lei had expected. She really did fly!
Next, she needed to find a place to land …
With that thought in mind, Lei adjusted the wind and scanned her surroundings. Soon, she locked onto a platform above her head. She increased the wind and flew towards it.
Just a little more … just a little more …
However, when Lei was still an arm's length away from the platform, the blue-haired girl's voice rang in her ears again.
[No, I can't hold on any longer.]
"Huh? Wait, don't … "
Upon hearing this, Lei Zi's expression changed drastically. But before she could finish speaking, the wind blade around her right hand instantly vanished. At the same time, the blue-haired girl reappeared beside Lei Zi. Without the support of their abilities, the two of them fell into the bottomless abyss again.
"Ahhh — — —!!"
Lei screamed in pain. Then, her vision turned black and her butt landed heavily on the ground. At the same time, Shirai Kuroko's voice came from beside her.
"Seriously, what the hell are you doing?"
"Shirai!"
Hearing Shirai Kuroko's voice, Zuo Tianlei heaved a sigh of relief. She opened her eyes and saw Shirai Kuroko standing with his hands on his hips, staring at her helplessly. The blue-haired girl was standing beside Shirai Kuroko, looking around in confusion. Obviously, she didn't know what had happened.
"We heard some noises from below just now. Mr. Fangzheng said that something might have happened to you, so Big Sis and I came to find you in a hurry … What are you doing?"
"This is bad, Shirai!"
At this point, Zuo Tianlei reacted hurriedly.
"There's a lot of Polluted Beasts down there!"
"Polluted Beasts?"
Shirai Kuroko's expression changed when she heard Tears' words.
"Let's leave this place first. But come to think of it …"
After saying that, Shiroi Kuroko looked at the blue-haired girl beside him with a puzzled expression.
"Who's that girl with you?"
"It's a long story. Let's go back to Mr. Fangzheng first."
Tears didn't want to waste any more time here. Although the Polluted Beasts didn't seem to be able to fly, who knew if there were any that could?
"I understand."
As he spoke, Shirai Kuroko turned his head and looked to the side.
"Please inform Mr. Fangzheng that we've found him."
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios As Shirai Kuroko spoke, Zuo Tianlei noticed a pink flower petal falling from the sky before disappearing.
"What's that?"
"That seems to be an ability of Miss Fei Li's called 'Psychic Might'. She used that ability to find you just now … Forget it, let's talk about it when we get back."
With Shirai Kuroko's help, the group's journey back to the core control room was very smooth. After all, teleportation could ignore all kinds of obstacles. It was the best way to escape. Tears was already used to it. On the other hand, the blue-haired girl stared at Shirai Kuroko in surprise. She seemed to be trying to figure out how he did it.
When Shirai Kuroko brought the two back, the others were already there.
"You're really something …"
Shirai Kuroko and Misaka Mikoto looked at the blue-haired girl next to Lei Zi and listened to Lei Zi's explanation of how he found the blue-haired girl. Fangzheng was speechless as he listened to Lei Zi's story.
Of course, he knew this girl. If Fangzheng remembered correctly, she was the Holy Angel, one of the Seven Brilliance Treasure Trees, Lefri Mezarans.
The Holy Angel had the ability to transform into a weapon and fight alongside humans through a contract with them. Fangzheng had seen it in an anime before. However, he only had a deep impression of the female protagonist. He could not remember the plot clearly.
If Fangzheng remembered correctly, Rei's element was wind, which was quite compatible with Tears' airflow control …
"This girl can transform into a weapon?"
Misaka Mikoto and Shirai Kuroko were in disbelief after hearing Tears' story.
"Is there really such a thing?"
"What's so strange about that? I have it too."
At that moment, Fangzheng interrupted with a chuckle, immediately attracting the attention of the others.
"Really? Mr. Fangzheng? Why haven't I seen you use any weapons before? "
"Because it's not necessary."
Fangzheng shrugged and told the truth. He then extended his hand. Soon, two magic imprints appeared on the back of Fangzheng's hand.
"Come out, Reistia, Aster."
Along with Fangzheng's summoning, the pitch-black broadsword and silvery-white short sword appeared out of thin air in front of the young ladies. Then, they transformed into a purple-haired young lady in a gothic gown and a silver-haired young lady in a pure white dress. The two girls slowly landed on the ground and bowed to everyone.
"Nice to meet you. I'm a Dark Elf, the Magic Sword of Reality — Reistia."
"Demon Slayer Holy Sword — Aster."
"Woah …!"
Misaka Mikoto, Shirai Kuroko, Tears, and Phyllis widened their eyes in disbelief. Rei also looked at the two girls in front of her in shock. She did not know what to say.
"That's amazing, Mr. Fangzheng, that's amazing. Are they the same as Rei?"
After the self-introduction, Tears now knew Rei's name. He excitedly went to the two Sword Elves and stared at them curiously.
"Almost, but not quite the same. They're Sword Elves, but Rei can only transform into a sword."
Fangzheng looked at Rei and nodded, while Lestia and Esther smiled at Rei. They didn't have the hostility they had when facing Frostmourne. Well, it was probably because they weren't contracted by Frostmourne.
If Rei had chosen to form a contract with him, Lestia and Esther would have been jealous by now.
Come to think of it, Tears was really lucky.
While thinking, Fangzheng looked at Tears, who was holding Rei's hand and chatting curiously with Laistia. He could not help but smile.
This scene reminded Fangzheng of a saying he had seen in an anime a long time ago. Misaka Mikoto was not the main character of the Super Railgun at all. The real main character was Tears Zuotian. It was the same reason why INDEX was not the main character of the Banned Books Catalog …
Tears Zuotian had even listed several reasons to prove that Misaka Mikoto was only the central character in the Super Railgun and not the main character.
First of all, in Japan's ACG, most of the main characters were ordinary, capable of doing household chores, gentle and considerate — Tears Zuotian fit all the criteria. She was a Level 0 incapacitated person who was good at cooking, cheerful, gentle and delicate.
Secondly, all the protagonists had the ability to trigger events. As it turned out, almost all the events in "Super Railgun" started with Tear as the catalyst. Tear was the one who first told Misaka Mikoto about the Dream Driver as an urban legend. Tear was the one who saved everyone from the clutches of The Jumbled Streets. Tear was the one who first saw Misaka Mikoto's sister and told her about it. Phobley was also the one who stuck close to Tear during the Phobley Incident.
In the end, the main characters were able to turn enemies into friends and take her into their harem — in this aspect, Tears Zuotian's halo was even stronger than Joujō Dangma.
In the manga, the four of them were in danger when they went to Gakuin City. A magical enemy was trying to use a certain weapon to attack Gakuin City. However, the magician who was in charge of the weapon immediately decided to abandon the plan of the Magic Association and disassemble the weapon the moment he saw Tears Zuotian. She had only met Tears Zuotian once. At that time, Tears Zuotian treated her to a meal and even changed her into a swimsuit. That was all there was to their relationship.
In the manga, when Tears Zuotian was kidnapped by the Anbu due to the poker incident, it was Frenda who stepped forward to rescue him, even at the cost of her own injuries. However, before that, the only interaction between them was when Tears Zuotian cooked a meal for Frenda with canned mackerel.
Even Joujō Dangma needed a friendly face-breaking punch to recruit a harem. Tears Zuotian only needed to meet someone, treat them to a meal, and chat for them to be willing to risk their lives for her.
Joujō Dangma's halo was really incomparable …
Even Misaka Mikoto was incomparable.
Of course, these incidents would never happen again because of Fangzheng's actions. The outside world of magic was in a mess because of the decline of the Vatican City. Those who should have been disbanded and those who should have left the school city had all left. However, some things could not be changed. For example, Frenda still became good friends with Tears Zuotian and often went to Tears Zuotian's house to eat mackerel. INDEX also stuck to Tears Zuotian's side and refused to leave …
Therefore, it was not surprising that Tears Zuotian had picked up a Seven Brilliance Treasure Tree.
But … for Fangzheng, it was not a bad thing.
