Chương 98: Chapter-97 [The Puppet Master] pt-2
(A/N:-Just wanted to say this, I try to recreate iconic scenes because I haven't seen any other writer doing so. Don't say that I should be original because this whole novel is 100% original with an original plot.)
(A/N:-I do not create random villains or "long-term" characters without a story, proof with Meruem and Dachi.)
(A/N:-Every character I write about has a role in my novel, no matter how defined or small it may be. [The 7-Kings] is an OC organization I created and it also has a reason behind it.)
(A/N:-In this volume, after 20 or 30 chapters of "big brain gameplay" and twists, we will enter the final volume of this novel.)
(A/N:-Have patience and let the story play out, one by one things will keep on connecting and at last, everything will have a meaning behind it.)
(A/N:-It begins from the next chapter!)

"Damn it!"
Toshikazu jumped back to avoid being skewed by a long spike that sprung up from behind.
He raised his sheath with the handle of his sword; towards [Overhaul] who looked the same since the beginning.
"[Lightning Needles]"
Kyouko held up her phone-looking C.A.D in her hand and made a sweeping motion with it.
A magic circle lit up over her C.A.D as her psion changed properties and launched towards the enemy...
...while taking the shape of small yet sharp needles!
"It's futile to try."
Once again, Overhaul didn't even bother to respond to the incoming attack, his plague mask lit up as the ground beside him was suddenly elevated.
The elevated ground acted as a thick wall that blocked the entirety of Kyouko's attack!
"Here! You can have it back."
Overhaul finally took a step forward and made a slashing motion with his hand; once again his plague mask lit up with psion being injected into it.
Multiple small yet sharp needles emerged out of the elevated ground before launching towards Kyouko.
"Tch!"
Kyouko clicked her tongue in annoyance as she quickly abandoned her current location to relocate to a much safer place.
With her being a ranged fighter, she was relatively safe from Overhaul as he seemed to be quite limited with his magic.
Dangerous nevertheless!
Siren!
"Hm...that was rather quick!"
Overhaul looked towards the incoming vehicles, sirens going off everywhere around the crash site.
He was still as calm as ever!
As if he knew that none could stop him from escaping.
"Looks like I need to wrap this up and make my getaway."
Overhaul jumped back on top of an abandoned truck as a rather large quantity of psion could be felt in the air.
He looked towards the couple and spoke in an impassive tone.
"When I thought of dealing with you both, I assumed it would be..."
"...ahh, what is the word for it?"
"Effortless..."
"...yes, an 'effortless' task."
"Though now I feel that you both are quite the team."
"Anyway, let me present you with a parting gift!"
The large psion started to solidify as the trembling of the ground increased in intensity!
"[Ever Growing Sea of Spikes]"
Rattle!
The ground rattled as the broken pieces of the road started to break down and get restructured along with the ground!
A large spike appeared from the ground...
....followed by another,
...and another,
.and another,
and so on!
Literally, an unending wave of large and sharp spikes assaulted both Toshikazu and Kyouko.
"Kyouko! Be careful!"
Toshikazu and Kyouko, using their superior speed were able to dodge the initial wave of attack but when faced with an unending sea of regenerating spikes.
Resistance was futile!
Not to mention due to the rapid formation of the spikes, their structure, shape, and size were all widely different.
Simply put, it was impossible to predict where the attacks would come from!
"Tch...!"
Several cuts had already appeared over Toshikazu's body! Though none of them were lethal enough to inflict any harm onto the Chiba Swordsman.
The emergence of the spikes had pushed him near the corpse of the white van driver.
Toshikazu turned to look towards his girlfriend who was still unharmed by the spikes.
She had lots of sweat running down her face, enough for him to know that she was reaching her limit.
'I can't hold back any longer otherwise I might be endangering Kyouko.'
Toshikazu turned to look towards Overhaul who had already made his escape; using an empty truck.
Seeing that there was no other hidden danger, Toshikazu put his hand on top of the handle of his sword and took a stance.
An abundant amount of blue particles converged and coiled around the sheath of his blade.
"[Edgeless Sword Technique:-Basara]"
Toshikazu elegantly drew his sword from its sheath and with it; made cleaving motion.
The compressed blue particles turned into blue light before traveling everywhere; making a circle around him.
Slice!
In a single stroke of Toshikazu's blade, each one of the unending spikes was sliced into tiny pieces!
The sheer intensity of his attack could be felt even a few kilometers away from the crash site!
It managed to destroy the enemy's magic, unfortunately, it also sapped half of Toshikazu's psion count.
Causing him to take unsteady steps.
"Toshikazu!"
Kyouko immediately burst into speed, quickly making her way towards her beloved boyfriend.
"It's alright..."
"...it's finally over!"
---
(A few kilometers away from the crash site)
"Oh? Looks like they were able to beat my magic, impressive!"
Overhaul felt his psion disperse from the crash site; meaning that his attack circle was destroyed.
Even so, there wasn't a single change in his expression.
"Unfortunately..."
"...It isn't over until I say so!"
---
Kyouko rushed towards her love when she saw him stumbling due to the psion cooldown.
Toshikazu wearily looked towards his girlfriend with a smile and spoke in a carefree tone.
"Everything is oka—"
Pierce!
"Ahh!..."
Spatter!
A scream resounded throughout the crash site, followed by sprinkles of blood that soaked the ground.
Toshikazu looked down towards his chest...
...only to see a sickly pale hand sticking out of his chest!
After putting a lot of effort into moving his head; Toshikazu was finally able to look at the attacker...
...only to be shocked!
The half-burnt corpse of the white van driver had somehow come to life and struck the defenseless Toshikazu at his weakest moment.
"Grghh...!"
Blood spilled out of his mouth as he decapitated the corpse with his leftover strength.
"Toshikazu!"
Kyouko arrived beside her boyfriend and caught his mid-air, immediately laying him on the ground; his head on her lap.
"No! No! No!..."
"Don't worry! You will be alright!"
"I promise!"
"Just hold on, Toshikazu!"
Kyouko activated her magic to cauterize the wound with lightning.
"Argh!"
Toshikazu grimaced in pain as he felt a burning sensation on top of his wound.
"It's okay! Just keep talking to me, okay!?"
"You will be alright, Toshikazu!"
"Remember!? I still need to meet you, parents!?"
"You still have to get married!"
"Just keep talking, okay!?"
Kyouko was doing everything in her power to keep Toshikazu conscious.
She was spilling out everything in her heart for her beloved to hear!
Toshikazu lightly smiled as he barely raised his hand to brush aside the hair on his girlfriend's face; giving him a clear view of the woman he is committed to.
"I-I will b-be alright, Kyouko."
Suddenly, his vision went dark as his hand fell!
He had lost consciousness.
