PART 1

Tobe stood dumbfounded for a while after being teleported on a road. He felt dizzy because of it that he held his head in confusion. After seconds of recovery, he found himself wandering in what he thought to be an abandoned street.

The dark, empty street is illuminated by a bright moon. He glanced to his left and to his right.

Closed doors and nothing more could be seen in his sight. He must have guessed it was already midnight.

Looking right at the moon, something whirred in his right ear.

“Tobe-kun, can you hear me?”

Ryuuka asked him via transmitter that was fitted inside his ear before he left the ship.

“Y-yes, loud and clear.”

“Good. Listen carefully… can you see the stasis field?”

Tobe searched for something unfamiliarity that must be near to him but he thought he failed to find it. He breathed heavily.

“No…I think not. It must be somewhere nearby.”

“Don’t worry, Tobe-kun, it is invisible.”

“I see.”

“…before I let you go, you need to know that communications will be cut off after entering the stasis field.”

“Understood.”

“If you can’t get out of the field for…let’s see…um ten minutes… we, the Neitframe will interfere for good.”

“And what if…?”

Tobe hesitated for a while. He scratched his cheeks in uneasiness.

“Well… if you happened to be killed in action…worry no more, we’ll just retrieve your body and bury it quickly—“

“H-Hey, you’re kidding! Right?”

Globules of sweats suddenly popped on his face. He couldn’t imagine how Ryuuka will take care of his body.

“”—Oh… Tobe-kun, I have a list of things I’ll going to do after you died…”

“*gulp*”

Now all have gone overboard for him. He could feel that he will faint in a matter of minutes.

“J-Just joking…”

Ryuuka mocked him in a serious voice but right after it he can hear muffled laughter erupting.

He felt foolish for this that he developed a miniscule hatred for her because of her manipulative behaviors.

“You’re giving me heart attack…”

“Tobe-kun, what I really wished for is that you will come out regardless if you fail or not after the span of ten minutes…do you understood?”

“Yes, several times already…”

“Tobe-kun, good luck.”

“Good luck to you too.”

Tobe can hear an affirmative chuckle at the end of line. Now, if only he can find the stasis field.

“Oh, almost forgot…five steps forward and you should be facing it.”

“Thank you.”

Tobe complemented even though he can’t see anything out of ordinary.

Without even doubting, he went straight where Ryuuka was referring to and he ended up bumping 

something in the air.

“Uah…!?”

He did touch something out of ordinary and whatever it is he can see it is changing right now. Like 

clear water, it resonated and changed gradually into black wall.

, he thought.

“It is not as solid as you think. Coward, Try touching it again.”

Ryuuka sneered.

“Ok…”

He slowly marched toward the black wall and upon reaching an arm length; he quickly thrust his arm 

toward it.

The sensation is a little bit queer; it is quite icy and tough however it slowly absorbed his arm.

Alarmed at this situation, he quickly pulled his arm nervously and was thrown back.

“What the…?”

He examined his arm worryingly but fortunately he found nothing that could become a cause of his 

concern.

That means there would be drastic effect.

His hand left an impression before it was gone. Now that he knew about this, he determined to put 

up courage.

Tobe pushed himself into the wall and the impact of his body created a soft cavity on the wall where 

it cushioned him and creating a narrow passage.

Upon entering the wall and was expelled on the other side, strong, ghastly scent, dark as well as the 

gloomy atmosphere and the presence of an unnaturally intense feeling welcomed him.

He had witnessed an unspeakable outcome which is really much worse than when he is still outside 

which made his heart jumped out.

It seems that he’s in an apocalyptic world; he could feel vomit anytime if he didn’t adapt quickly in 

this kind of atmospheric condition.

“Target has just entered the barrier, operation complete.”

Maximus exclaimed, his face seemed to be frowning forever. He is currently watching the live video 

footage right now.

“Ohhh…really? I would really like to have something interesting…”

Ryuuka seemingly scorned him deliberately as she was lying flat on her own commander seat. Her 

eyes are half-closed contently and was grinning like a Chesire cat.

Maximus watched her with curiosity that almost awes him.

“Superior, with some respect, what do you mean?”

“Look at the screen.”

Ryuuka said while pointing something on the screen. It showed someone was following Tobe after 

he jumped into the . The figure was also sneaking and hiding out of his sight.

The figure has a white hair which means that the shadowy figure is no more other than Yuki Tenshi.

“No way— uhmm…e-emergency----!!!”

“Halt… I mean… stop what you’re doing.”

Ryuuka exclaimed.

“B-but she’s running away!”

“Don’t make it as a cause of an alarm, understood?”

“Y-yes, superior… I’m terribly sorry…”

After a minute of guilty silence, Maximus apologized to her.

“… Then what would happen to her?”

“Don’t worry; I conclude after all that both of them are perfectly safe if they are with each other.”

Ryuuka then slouched on her own chair after Maximus knew all of it. She swivelled her own chair 

and regarded it as a plaything.

“Did you know all of these all along?”

Ryuuka then gave him a suspicious stare. A stare equivalent to a five years old child who noticed 

that her toys are different.

“Hmmmmmmm…”

However, that is enough to make him trembled.

“Maximus, I will tell you the truth. At first glance, I thought it was alarming like what you thought but 

later on I changed my mind and challenged this seemingly perfect opportunity.”

“But that only make him angrier.”

Maximus said with a hint of concern.

“You are wrong. Just wait and see.”

Ryuuka played her hair as she sat there rigid. Even though she always filled with patience, she expected him to hit the spot right now which only brought her with mild concern.

PART 2

*KKKRRRTTTTZZZZ*

Aria’s photon blade flashed and brushed on the arm of [Crimson] as she tried to broke past her defensive arm which the speed of their hands and arms technique almost par with each other.

[Crimson]’s mocking face while fighting her made her feel agitated and retreated for a while, thinking another effective strategy.

[Crimson] noticed it and willingly draws back which further angered Aria.

“Already tired … in the beginning of our battle?”

She rather showed her dismay mockingly then chuckled terribly. Seeing this instant off-guard, she quickly grabbed her ravaging pistol and gave her three to four rapid shots with accuracy and dexterity.

*KKKSSSHHHH*

Those shots made [Crimson] thrown away as if she received an intense electric shock.

“Ugh…”

[Crimson] groaned in agony.

Aria, with her grim face, aimed once more to her, making sure she will shoot her another good and painful blows.

She was almost smirking in satisfaction when she noticed something was wrong.

[Crimson], whose body seemed to bent at the back like those gymnastics, was still moaning from earlier shots when…

“…kukukuku!”

Her tortuous groans eventually turned into an ecstatic laughter while remaining in that masochistic posture.

She perceived Aria that those earlier shots were no more other than a failed attempt.

“I-Impossible— your body should be disintegrated from those bullets!”

In an almost close range, her bullets should have hit [Crimson] in no time but her mocking glee told 

her she’s done something impossible.

“How could you –!”

This tale has been pilfered from Royal Road. If found on Amazon, kindly file a report.

“…Those pellets are so annoying. Can you think something more interesting, Chaser?”

[Crimson] warned her intently while returning her body into an upright form. She touched the edge of her lips, showing off her indefinite lust as well as her scornful glances.

Aria was deeply aggravated and insulted by her reactions and suddenly shot her with but this time reavers accompanied her assaults.

[Crimson] managed to dodged all of her bullets and stroke the reavers neatly at the same time. One of them she forcibly pulled it and rashly used it as a shield.

Because of its nuclear capability upon impact, the reaver tore open into halves. She was surprise after seeing it.

“Incredible…”

Cris muttered lowly, even though it was evident that it can overkill her, she smirked it at all. She flexed her wrist as if she is certain that she wasn’t hit.

Aria, who was supposed to be disappointed, steps back in a manner that Crista regarded as a retreat.

“Wait… the party has just started!”

[Crimson] mocked her once again, and was almost thrown out in laughter. Aria simply calmed and stayed on her spot. She wouldn’t be running out of patience this time.

“Party’s over…”

She said contemptuously. She held her weapon at her left arm and stretching her right arm up, she made some strange hand signals.

“…OPERATION :< Body Prison>!”

At instance, reavers out of nowhere and from [Crimson]’s blind spots appeared and surrounded her. They seemed to be more than what [Crimson] thought this time.

Cris scanned her surroundings and indeed they encircled her, making sure she couldn’t escape easily.

“I thought I can’t see your full—”

[Crimson]’s conversation was cut short when a reaver  at her back impaled her thoroughly that the pierced right out of her slender body.

She was partly surprised because of it.

Instinctively, [Crimson] slammed the reaver out of her save for the embedded photon blade in her body. She slowly removed it, regardless of the wound, and threw it away.

Now Cris was sputtering with her own blood but her playful stare told her it was next to nothing. Hardly had she wiped her mouth when another reaver grabbed her arm cruelly, as if it was about to yanked her arm.

“My… mistake…”

She hardly talked a word because of the excruciating wound. She grappled the reaver when another reaver grabbed her. Her strength and senses seemed to be failing.

“Yield right now…there are no way you can survive it anyway.”

Aria said it coldly for she was only waiting for her death then she can retrieve the body with no trouble at all. But Crista’s winking eyes and smirking lips meant she wouldn’t do as what she wants.

Gradually, more reavers joined the cause and many pierced her pity body. Right now Crista realized that she couldn’t move at all because of the insanely amount of blades struck inside and out of her. 

She also noticed that they prisoned her using their own bodies.

Now her head only protrudes out of the floating mass of reavers since her body is completely locked with blades, she was currently closing her eyes as if she was already dead.

Suddenly, she heard the crackle of the which made her eyes reopened again but weakly this time.

“Die…”

Upon hearing that cursing word, [Crimson] laughed a little that made Aria felt a chill for nothing. 

Maybe it was only her dying or something odder?

“…What’s so funny, you monster?”

“It was that I remembered something… quite nostalgic maybe.”

“Shut up. I don’t want to hear it from you!”

Aria retorted from what she said or technically, her voice is just to annoying.

Now something made Cris looked at, specifically, at Aria’s which can pulverize her in seconds. She was quite admired by it.

"Well... well that kind of gun is quite... you know exciting?"

Crista chuckled softly as if she was about to die from it. Aria stared her while her eyes are half-closed.

"Maidens like you don't really belong here on earth... you don't have the worth living here and that's my job."

"Really? *hmmp* very naive..."

"...You're just a shit here on the earth!"

Aria exclaimed furiously. One more time and she will lend no mercy! But Crista seemed to be satisfied.

"Oooh, please me more with those words!"

Crista has been shown to have a masochistic tendecies. She was even more delighted rather than crying as what Aria would expected.

"D-disgusting!"

Cris chuckled maniacally.

"...are you finished? Is it your dying laugh?"

Aria's eyes are now burning with with vengeance. She pointed the bigger gun charging it with tremendous capacity.

"I'll show you the true power of a chaser!"

"You don't understand what you are saying, don't you?"

Crista commented after hearing those specific words. She chuckled for a while.

"Let's finish this!"

"Then let me show you the true power of a maiden!"

When Cris was about to say that, the skies seemed to echoed before her. Aria noticed something 

isn't quite right this time as she felt her hand shuddered.

"What the hell?"

Aria exclaimed. Immediately, Crista was chuckling in front of her, eyes twinkling with extreme delight while Aria carefully scanned the whole background.

"Come and join the party... ! The RED EXECUTIONER!!"

Cris stretched her right hand as if she was reaching for something and a terrible forced swarmed and thickened her arm with crimson aura. Gradually at the same time, her arm bled profusely which coated and hardened on her arm.

Crista suddenly bursted out of the prison, rendering the reavers competely useless and destroyed in a process. They disintegrated down to earth like a fiery shower.

Mysteriously, her arm erupted several spikes with a long, wicked blade outgrowth at the end of her hand. It fashioned into a gigantic, crimson broadsword eternally intertwined with her right arm.

The sword that was made out of her flesh and blood was cloaked with devastating power and potential.

"Beautiful, isn't it?"

Cris proudly exclaimed while brandishing a little with her blade. Aria felt a deadly breeze passing right in front of her every time Crista played her sword.

Aria suddenly aimed to Cris and begun to shoot her.

*chug**chug**chug**chug*

The muzzle was so loud and loud that it can be mistaken for thunder. Aria kept on firing until everything she sees were lighted with powerful plasma. She couldn't believe it! How did she gathered that tremendous power in a short manner of time.

The only answer she can provide is her own shooting at her, to prove that she's powerful than any maiden!

"AAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!"

She couldn't contain it any longer, the hatred for them, the longing for the revenge and to kill. The force of is pushing her away and even crazily aimed everywhere just to kill that girl.

Everything always ended and so her , it stopped shooting and overheated so much that she got burned on her hand, but nevertheless she didn't care for it any longer. Aria gripped her hands in wrath, she was temporarily blind due to painful flashes from blast.

When everything seemed to calmed down, at least for a little bit, Aria squinted to make sure she was already dead with the her own hellish rampage but she was shocked to see Cris in front of her. Crista only ignored the blast and seemingly hovered there as she want.

Consequently, Crista's pale, slender body suffered from unnatural, big holes which she withstood for a meantime. The holes, big enough to see through, weren't bleeding either and yet she was smiling all the time.

Her body seemed to be ripped apart because of the astounding damage she received from . Cris even managed to smirk and she gradually laughed hard.

"Poor little girl with her toy... are you finished?"

She mocked Aria several times. Aria , seemingly angered by Crista's mockery, threw down to the ground because she has no time reloading it and switched to twin .

"How dare you...!"

"As what I've told you... I behold the true power...why?..."

Cris, while talking to Aria, was awfully serious this time, far from her cheerful and masochistic personality. Her eyes twinkled with both despair and delight.

"...My Pain..."

The large, tremendous perforation on her body gradually disappeared. Seemingly, restored by her original flesh and astral dress.

"...My Gain..."

The holes, or specifically the space, were visibly absorbed by her which made it more crimson like than before.

"...You Lost..."

Her body once again, restored to the fullest as if it never received any damage.

"...Don't you think it's my turn?"

Even though the colossal was twice the height of Cris, she easily raised it up to her head upright, resembling a huge tower above her.
