Chapter 702: Successful Rescue

"Damn it, die for me!"

In the sky, Jessica let out an angry roar, her light sword waving frantically as she launched wave after wave of attacks at Lingyun.

"This guy, how is he even more troublesome than last time? Could it be because his spiritual power is gradually recovering?" Ellen also pushed her own attack power to the limit, wanting to cleave through Lingyun's defense.

The two swords in Lingyun's hands transformed into streaks of afterimages, easily blocking the attacks from both Jessica and Ellen.

The battle in the sky grew increasingly intense, but no matter how Jessica and Ellen attacked, they simply could not break through Lingyun's defense.

"Papa, I have already found the location of Tohka-nee, but her current state seems a bit off!" Yui's voice rang out in Lingyun's ear.

"Transmit this location to Kurumi immediately!" Lingyun responded directly through the Cloud Realm.

"Okay!"

Tokisaki Kurumi, who was currently shuttling through the DEM branch, frowned as a screen suddenly popped up in front of her.

"This is... Yui's ability?" Seeing this familiar thing, she couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

The screen flickered, and then lines of information began to emerge. It clearly pointed out the location of Yatogami Tohka and the specific route to get there.

"Kurumi-nee, all the defensive facilities along this route have been removed by me. However, because I used a brute-force method, the other side has already discovered that their system was invaded by me. Nee-san must be fast!" Yui's voice sounded from the screen.

"I understand!" Tokisaki Kurumi nodded, her figure instantly sinking into the shadows.

"Boom—"

Just as the fierce battle on the outskirts of the DEM company was in full swing, a violent explosion came from the direction of the building.

Jessica and her companion were startled and looked toward the building. On one side of the building, thick smoke had risen at some unknown time, and countless fragments of stone were scattering from that corner, falling downward.

A figure suddenly leaped out from the thick smoke, stepping several times in the Void, and stopped in mid-air. When Jessica and Ellen saw that figure clearly, their pupils couldn't help but shrink.

"Nightmare!"

They had never expected that the main body of Kurumi, whom they had been unable to find, had actually already infiltrated the DEM building. And looking at her current appearance, it was clear she had already completed some important task.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—"

While Tokisaki Kurumi was stopped in the Void, several massive purple-black Sword Qi blasts erupted from the thick smoke, assaulting her direction.

"This is... Tohka's Sword Qi?" Lingyun, who had blocked the attacks of Ellen and Jessica with one sword, frowned slightly as he looked at those streaks of Sword Qi.

He felt that the spiritual power contained within these Sword Qi was extremely violent, and it also carried a deep aura of despair, as if it were about to drag everything into a destructive Hell.

"Is Tohka... reversed?" This was the only thing Lingyun could imagine right now. "And the only thing that could make Tohka fall into this situation would be the experiments of DEM. As expected, this kind of organization really should be completely destroyed!"

Sensing the killing intent on Lingyun surging, Ellen's pupils shrank violently, and her figure retreated rapidly. Jessica, on the other hand, ignored everything and attacked Lingyun's direction frantically.

A flash of silver light, and the long sword was stained with blood. Jessica let out a shrill scream; her right hand had been severed directly by Lingyun.

Tokisaki Kurumi raised the flintlock in her hand and fired several shots at the incoming Sword Qi, directly blowing it up in mid-air.

"Go!" After shattering the Sword Qi, Tokisaki Kurumi flipped her hand, and a golden crystal appeared in her palm, which she then threw fiercely into the smoke and dust.

A crisp shattering sound came from within the smoke; it was clearly the sound of that crystal being broken by someone. After the crisp cracking sound, vast golden light suddenly rushed out from the smoke, instantly tearing the rolling thick smoke to shreds and revealing the figure inside. Yatogami Tohka, who had already manifested her full Spirit Dress, was half-kneeling on the ground holding Sandalphon, gasping for breath as if she had just gone through a fierce battle. The armor on her body had already faintly begun to crumble, clearly having exhausted her spiritual power to the limit.

"Quick, capture the Princess!" Seeing that Tohka had actually escaped, Ellen's expression changed slightly, and she shouted aloud.

"Sorry, this road is closed!"

Just as the DEM magicians were approaching Yatogami Tohka, a whistling wind came, and a powerful hurricane forced those magicians to retreat.

"Tohka, I've come to pick you up!" Yamai Yuzuru grabbed Itsuka Shido and descended from the sky, landing beside Yatogami Tohka.

"Shido—" Seeing Itsuka Shido appear, a trace of joy appeared on Yatogami Tohka's face, and she lunged toward Itsuka Shido.

Itsuka Shido opened his arms and caught the lunging Tohka, his face full of joy: "Great, Tohka, you're okay!"

However, Tohka did not respond to Itsuka Shido; she had already collapsed into Itsuka Shido's arms and fainted.

"Tohka!" Seeing this scene, Itsuka Shido was shocked; he had never seen Tohka, who was always full of energy, show such a weak state.

"Quick, take Tohka back to the Fraxinus first, we have doctors here!" Itsuka Kotori's voice came through Itsuka Shido's earpiece.

"Yuzuru, I'll leave it to you!" Itsuka Shido said to Yuzuru beside him.

"Leave it to me!" Yuzuru patted her chest, and a hurricane swirled around her, carrying Itsuka Shido and the others toward the direction of the Fraxinus.

"Stop them for me!" Ellen said hurriedly.

Under Ellen's command, the surrounding DEM magicians shook off their opponents one after another and rushed toward the direction of Itsuka Shido and the others.

"Bang, bang, bang—"

Flowers of blood burst open in the sky one after another; every magician who approached the three of them fell from the sky in an instant.

"It's that sniper!" Ellen couldn't help but grit her teeth.

"To dare to be distracted at a time like this, you really are bold!" Lingyun's voice suddenly rang out from her ear.

Ellen's heart skipped a beat, and the Territory on her body expanded frantically in an instant, wanting to push Lingyun away.

The thin sword in Lingyun's left hand turned into an afterimage in an instant, striking continuously against Ellen's Territory.

"Crack, crack—"

The Territory shattered in an instant, and Ellen's face turned pale, blood spilling from her mouth and nose; she had clearly suffered heavy injuries.

"Kill!"

Just as Lingyun was about to press his advantage, a light sword suddenly appeared from the side, stabbing toward Lingyun's abdomen.

Lingyun's figure swayed, easily avoiding this attack. Jessica, who had already lost one hand, appeared in front of Lingyun; she pushed her own Territory to the limit and launched a thrust at Lingyun regardless of the consequences.

"Admirable courage!" Lingyun praised, and the long sword in his hand suddenly slashed out a sharp beam of light.

"Crack—Boom—"

On the DEM building behind Jessica's body, a huge sword mark actually appeared; the entire building was sliced into two by the sword mark, and the upper part of the building slid down slowly, crashing to the ground and kicking up clouds of dust.

The light in the eyes of Jessica, who was in front of Lingyun, slowly vanished, and her figure fell toward the earth below, submerged in the smoke and dust.
