Chapter 703: End

Inside the Fraxinus, Itsuka Shido was looking with a worried expression at Yatogami Tohka, who was lying on the bed.

"Kotori, is Tohka alright?"

Before Itsuka Kotori could speak, Murasame Reine, who was on the other side, spoke up: "She is fine, it is just that her Spirit power was over-expended, and her mental energy was also over-expended. As long as she rests well, she will be able to recover."

"Is that so? That is truly a relief." Hearing Murasame Reine say this, Itsuka Shido finally let out a sigh of relief.

"By the way, what about the DEM company..." Itsuka Shido asked suddenly.

"That side? The battle is likely already over!" Itsuka Kotori's tone was somewhat complex.

Although she had long known that Lingyun and the others possessed powerful strength, when she saw it with her own eyes, her heart was still full of amazement. Whether it was Jessica or Ellen, both were extremely powerful magicians within the DEM company, yet such magicians were easily suppressed by Lingyun alone in front of him.

At the same time, the other magicians of the DEM company were actually suppressed directly by Lingyun's two clones along with Kurumi's clones, with almost no chance of a comeback throughout the entire process; it truly shocked her.

"If the sniper hiding in the shadows really is Tina, then that is too exaggerated. Could it be that Tina is also a Spirit?" Itsuka Kotori muttered in her heart.

"Boom—"

Following a violent roar, blood spilled from Ellen's mouth, and her figure, like a meteor, crashed toward the half-collapsed DEM company building, directly blasting a large hole in the building's wall.

"Rise—"

After crashing into the wall, Ellen suddenly slammed her right hand against the ground beneath her feet. Countless rays of light extended from beneath her feet. The entire DEM company building suddenly burst forth with intense light, and countless Light Cannons erupted from the walls, firing in all directions.

"Watch out!"

Sensing the powerful aura from those Light Cannons, Lingyun immediately spoke to warn them.

"Ah!"

The Kurumi clones in the sky let out a cry of surprise simultaneously, then directly hid inside the Shadow Space. The other magicians let out shrill screams one after another, turning into nothingness under the attack of the Light Cannons.

"Hmph, break for me!"

Lingyun's two clones let out a cold snort. One raised his hand, and the four powers of water, fire, wind, and lightning gathered before him, transforming into four enormous divine dragons that pounced toward the building below. The other suddenly spread a pair of burning, massive flaming light wings behind him, and countless light feathers erupted directly from the wings, instantly annihilating the Light Cannons in the sky completely.

As for Lingyun himself, his figure flashed and he appeared before Tokisaki Kurumi. He opened one hand, and invisible ripples spread out from his side; the Light Cannons rushing toward him were actually frozen in mid-air in an instant, then shattered into brilliant fireworks.

"That really is beautiful fireworks!" Tokisaki Kurumi looked at the artillery fire blooming before her, a trace of a smile on her face.

"Hmm, ran away?" Lingyun looked at the wreckage of the building below, his brows slightly raised.

The moment the countless Light Cannons erupted just now, Ellen had actually used the secret passages that the DEM company had previously laid out inside the building to run away directly.

However, Lingyun had no intention of chasing after her. The other party was clearly prepared for him, and the escape equipment used was not ordinary equipment; he had no idea where she had run off to now.

As for the DEM company building, it had completely turned into a pile of ruins after the previous attack. With Westcott's methods, it was nine times out of ten that no useful information could be found among these ruins, so Lingyun lost interest in these ruins as well. However, as the old rival of the DEM company, Ratatoskr would inevitably have an interest in these ruins; perhaps they might even be able to find something from them.

The two clones transformed into light and shadow in mid-air and vanished, and Lingyun also brought Tokisaki Kurumi down toward the roof of a building.

"Brother!" Tina, who had been hiding in the Void, jumped out all at once, the scarlet color in her eyes having completely vanished.

"It really is her?" Seeing Tina appear on the screen, Itsuka Kotori could not help but be startled.

"Commander, this little girl is truly too dangerous. I think there are not many people in the entire world who can reach this level of sniping skill," Kannazuki Kyouhei said to Itsuka Kotori with a serious expression.

"But we are not enemies right now, are we?" Itsuka Kotori waved her hand. "I know what you are worried about, but there is absolutely no sign of that kind of thing right now. Our most important task now is to investigate Tohka's situation clearly. You should have seen it just now, too; the Spirit power detector detected a strange Spirit power with a negative value, and this Spirit power was emitted from Tohka. We need to investigate clearly what exactly happened to Tohka in the DEM company to make her Spirit power become like that."

"There is one more thing that must be investigated, and that is the strange golden crystal that Tokisaki Kurumi threw out earlier. When the negative Spirit power on Tohka touched that crystal, it was actually regulated back in a very short amount of time; this is also something we have never encountered before," Itsuka Kotori said.

"Daddy!"

Just as Lingyun was preparing to open a Space Gate to let everyone return to the Mysterious Shop, Yui suddenly popped out from the Void and hung directly onto Lingyun.

"Yui, is something the matter?" Lingyun looked with some confusion at Yui hanging on him.

"Yes, yes! Yui just discovered two very interesting children, so I quietly brought them over," Yui said with a giggle. "With the two of them helping, it will be much easier for me to manage Aincrad!"

"Quietly brought them over?" Lingyun's brows raised slightly.

"Hee hee!" Yui stuck her tongue out at Lingyun, then vanished.

"Sigh, there really is no helping it; Yui seems to have learned to be bad recently!" Watching Yui vanish, Lingyun shook his head helplessly.

"This is also a sign of Yui becoming mature!" Tokisaki Kurumi, who was beside Lingyun, said with a smile.

"Becoming mature? Are you sure this is called becoming mature, and not becoming mischievous? Also, don't laugh; you have to take the vast majority of the responsibility for this matter!" Lingyun rolled his eyes at her.

"Alright, alright. This place is not a good place to talk, and I also don't want our conversation to be heard by others all the time. Let's go back first! I also want to go and see what kind of two people Yui found," Tokisaki Kurumi said to Lingyun.

"Alright!" Lingyun nodded, and silver light unfolded around him, instantly enveloping everyone beside him.

After a burst of dazzling silver light, there was no longer any human figure present on the top of the building.
