Anime Crossover: A single ranking exposed the world

"It's harder to forget, isn't it? After all, our first meeting was just too shocking."

"That's true, but I don't think it's like the current situation at all, even though it is indeed October."

"Have it?"

"Of course, after all, I never imagined that our relationship would end up like this."

Chapter 258: Three Years Ago

"If that's the case, I feel the same way. After all, you were known as the 'most evil elf' back then."

This name strikes fear into the hearts of countless people; AST is going all out to eliminate you.

"That's true, but this happened way too long ago. Why bring it up now?"

As she said this, a nostalgic look appeared in Tokisaki Kurumi's eyes.

That was three years ago—

Are you Nightmare?

Looking at the mountain of corpses on the ground, Kanzaki Teru also felt somewhat uncomfortable.

Although he tried to breathe through his nose to get used to the bloody air, he still felt nauseous.

"Oh my, what an unexpected guest!"

Licking the blood off her face, Tokisaki Kurumi turned her head slightly to look in Kanzaki Hikaru's direction.

Kicking the corpse at her feet aside, Tokisaki Kurumi, holding a rifle in her left hand and a pistol in her right, turned to face Kanzaki Teru.

Whether it was because it was its natural color or because it was stained with blood, Tokisaki Kurumi's clothes were all red except for black stockings.

Even though he was covered in blood and surrounded by countless corpses, he was still covered in blood.

But the girl's appearance still seemed so alluring, as if she herself were death itself.

Why would you do such a thing?

To improve my skills and to build a network of contacts.

Kanzaki Teru got to know people associated with AST through an acquaintance, even though the organization appeared to be a security company.

But in reality, there was another purpose behind it all: to hunt down elves.

The appearance of elves can trigger a natural disaster called spacequake, which even caused the disappearance of an entire continental plate on the map more than a decade ago.

So an organization was created to hunt elves in order to prevent spacequakes from occurring.

However, now that all the elves have general social common sense, they haven't caused a spacequake disaster for a long time.

However, the AST organization did not disband; on the contrary, it grew stronger after a new BOSS took office.

Moreover, it wasn't just AST; the newly appointed leader even merged AST and DEM into a larger company.

The main suppliers are AST (Astronomical Society) providing magicians and DEM (Demonstration Equipment).

This is how a strange connection was established between the two parties, despite the slight discord between the two companies.

This has resulted in some ideas not being able to be implemented, but now both companies are headed by the same person.

Therefore, without such concerns, development became exceptionally rapid.

The objective is no longer as simple as just hunting Pokémon and stopping Spacequake.

After all, such natural disasters have long since disappeared, and there is absolutely no need to continue hunting elves.

However, the current AST is even more obsessed with hunting Pokémon, although Kanzaki Hikaru joined the organization not for hunting Pokémon.

However, it is also related to this matter, since such an existence that transcends human understanding should know some information.

Regarding the composition of this world, I don't have much hope.

However, Kanzaki Teru still decided to start with the most basic things, because truth is hidden in the trivialities of daily life.

However, this matter is by no means a trivial one.

In fact, Kanzaki Hikaru didn't really join AST; this task was more like an outsourcing project.

Despite the sharing of intelligence, there was no support whatsoever, and Kanzaki Teru always operated alone.

However, this situation actually suited him better, since it would be more difficult to move around if there were other people around.

This time, the discovery of Kurumi Tokisaki's whereabouts was also accidental, and the investigation led to the current outcome.

This is a gang's territory, although these people aren't exactly good people either.

However, Kurumi Tokisaki, who could slaughter these people so ruthlessly, could definitely not be called "good".

"Why did you kill them?"

"So you've done some investigation?"

When asked about Kanzaki Hikaru's question, Tokisaki Kurumi did not give a direct answer.

"Has no one taught you not to answer questions with questions?"

Unfortunately, such a person does not exist in my knowledge.

"Then it seems I'll have to teach you."

"If you're so capable, then you should try it, paper!"

Kurumi Tokisaki's face no longer wore the smile that had been there the whole time; instead, a fierce expression appeared on her face.

"Emperor Keke!"

A golden watch face suddenly appeared behind her, and Kurumi Tokisaki raised the weapon in her hand.

A strange energy seemed to flow from the dial into the weapon in her hand, and with the flow of energy...

The hands of the clock were spinning rapidly, and then Kurumi Tokisaki pointed the gun at herself.

Chapter 259: A Shocking Meeting

"One bullet!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Kurumi Tokisaki pulled the trigger and vanished into the shadows in the next second.

Kanzaki Teru immediately retreated, as he did not yet possess his current strength.

He hasn't yet mastered the use of his abilities; he can't even use his most prized spatial teleportation ability.

So the moment he stepped back, two hands suddenly clamped down on Kanzaki Teru.

Looking back, there were actually two Kurumi Tokisaki.

However, Kanzaki Teru wasn't too panicked, since this was already part of the information he already knew.

【Nightmare】—Kurumi Tokisaki, who possesses the ability to control time.

These abilities include, but are not limited to, acceleration, deceleration, time stop, and creating clones; it is also said to possess the ability to travel through time and return to the past.

"Oh ho ho ho ho, that's all there is to it. Goodbye."

Upon hearing the voice coming from behind him, Kanzaki Teru did not hesitate at all and immediately blocked the space behind him.

With a 787 shot, Kurumi Tokisaki's bullet was stopped in mid-air.

"What!?"

Kurumi Tokisaki was startled to see her bullet stop in mid-air.

Then he fired several more shots at Kanzaki Hikaru's head, but it was as if there was some invisible barrier.

Kurumi Tokisaki's bullets were all blocked by an invisible air wall, and not a single bullet hit Hikaru Kanzaki.

"Is this all the strength you've got? I thought you were much stronger."

With a slight tremor in their arms, the two Tokisaki Kurumi clones who had been holding Kanzaki Hikaru's arms suddenly seemed to be attacked from the shadows.

Suddenly, blood flowed from all seven orifices, and with a muffled thud, he collapsed onto the bed.

"what happens!?"

Seeing that his clone had no external injuries and that he hadn't even seen Kanzaki Hikaru make a move.

However, the two clones simply collapsed to the ground without any apparent reason, losing all contact with her original body.

Kurumi Tokisaki was completely bewildered by what had happened, as such a situation was truly unheard of.

Although I've encountered situations where my clones suddenly die before, this is the first time it's happened without any warning.

However, this was already commonplace for Kanzaki Hikaru, as this move directly distorted the designated space.

However, it can only be used against targets that are standing still. If the opponent moves, it can be easily dodged.

However, this method works just right for this situation, but it would still be somewhat difficult to defeat Tokisaki Kurumi's true form.

"Who knows? But your clones are really pathetic."

Your head's probably a complete mess by now, but it's okay, you're next anyway.

Although there is no definite certainty that they can defeat Tokisaki Kurumi, they cannot afford to lose in terms of momentum.

"Who are you!?"

Perhaps it was her pride that prevented Kurumi from escaping under these circumstances; even after seeing the disparity in strength between the two sides (cdfb), she still chose to attack Kanzaki Hikaru directly.

"You'll find out soon."

While eliminating Kurumi Kanzaki's clones, Hikaru Kanzaki continued to approach the main body.

"Keke Emperor—Seventh Bullet!"

They fired at Kanzaki Hikaru again, but the result remained the same.

As if protected by a shield, bullets would immediately stop in mid-air once they got close to Kanzaki Hikaru.

Although the clones could touch Kanzaki Hikaru's main body, for some reason the bullets couldn't.

Although I wanted to get the clone closer before shooting, I always ended up coughing up blood and collapsing before the clone could pull the trigger.

Without any warning, this stirred a long-forgotten sense of fear within Kurumi Tokisaki.

After all, this ability is too strenuous to activate, so Kanzaki Teru only uses it in critical moments.

If Tokisaki Kurumi keeps firing relentlessly to wear down the enemy, Kanzaki Teru won't be able to defend himself easily.
