I'm doing abstract animation

Bang!

The chilling impact sounds continued to echo from the third floor.

Miura Yumiko gritted her teeth and endured the pain in her arm as she continued to fight back against Ito.

She executed every move strictly according to Seryu's teachings, focusing her attacks on everything that could be fatal to her opponent, including the eyes, throat, temples, genitals, and so on.

But it was as if the other side had an extra pair of eyes, and could block all of her attacks.

“Oh no…”

Saeko Busujima frowned. Although the two men were moving too fast for her to see clearly, she could still understand the basic situation.

Ito's expression was indifferent and calm, while Miura Yumiko's brows were furrowed and her teeth were clenched. It was obvious who had the upper hand.

"what happened?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha, her face pale, asked in confusion, "Um...aren't girls a match?"

She and Saeko Busujima arrived at the stairwell on the third floor. The view from here was good, and the location was rather tricky, so the fight between Miura Yumiko and Saeko wouldn't affect them.

"The gap between the two is quite large..."

Saeko Busujima pursed her lips and secretly glanced at Osamu Yuuki, who had somehow managed to sneak up to the fifth floor: "It's rude of me to say this, but Miura is just like my opponents in the competition right now, his emotions are all messed up. This kind of situation usually only happens when the gap between us is very large, unless Miura has some special tricks up his sleeve..."

For example, that move in the store before that was so fast it was almost instantaneous...

Kasumigaoka Utaha's face paled even more. Miura was practically her lifeline right now; if Miura collapsed...

The thought of that monster's mouth opening to the size of half a house and biting more than a dozen people to death made her tremble uncontrollably.

Sawamura Sayuri sat wearily on a chair next to Eriri, her mind replaying the inexplicable sense of familiarity that had washed over her earlier.

"Eri, Mommy will protect you..."

Looking at her daughter who had fainted from fright, she spoke softly again.

In an instant, a purple mist, a sea of ​​fire like the world burning, a monster roaring to the sky, and a thin but determined boy standing in front of her...

"Woo..."

The intense headache made her cry out in pain, and fragmented images flashed through her mind...

But no matter what, she could never recall the details; these images were as if they were seen through a veil, making them unclear to her.

"Mom, Mom..." Eriri was awakened by her cry of pain. Her face was still wet with tears, and she was huddled in the not-so-spacious arms of Sayuri, trembling like a little rabbit.

"It's okay, Eriri, Mommy will protect you..."

Sayuri gently patted Eriri's back, her eyes full of tenderness.

boom!

Yumiko Miura was kicked away by Ito once again, this time crashing into a jewelry store on the second floor, where sparkling jewelry instantly covered her from head to toe.

"My fellow human, your strength seems a bit weak!"

Ito jumped from the third floor to the second floor, opened his mouth and swallowed two passersby who hadn't had time to run away. Then, he looked at Miura Yumiko, who was struggling to get up from the ground, with some confusion: "Didn't you eat?"

I'll fuck your grandpa!

Yumiko Miura's face was contorted with pain, and the Awakening Device, which had been scattered before it could awaken, re-formed in her hand.

The gold and black pistol gleamed again under the light.

"It's that same gun from before..."

Saeko Busujima, on the third floor, kept a close eye on the scene below. When she saw Yumiko Miura draw her gun again, her eyes narrowed slightly.

If she remembered correctly, the gun was knocked away by that monster earlier...

Pointing the gun at her temple, Yumiko Miura gasped for breath: "Three minutes..."

"Huh?" Ito asked, puzzled.

"I'll take care of you in three minutes!"

Yumiko Miura stared intently at him before pulling the trigger sharply.

Bah!

Gunshots rang out, and white mist billowed from her body.

"This is……"

Ito was immediately filled with surprise and doubt: "What's going on? How did the energy surge so much?!"

Whoosh!

The sound of something tearing through the air came, and before he could even react, sharp claws ripped open his chest, spraying blood everywhere.

"I really don't like using this form."

Yumiko Miura stared with golden eyes, on all fours, her white tail swaying behind her, two fangs peeking out from her lips, giving her a wild and arrogant look.

"I see!"

Ito suddenly realized what was happening, reached out and condensed a ball of black energy, pressing it onto the wound, and the wound was instantly healed.

"So this is your true form. How did you do that?"

He looked at Miura Yumiko curiously: "Is it that gun, or something else?"

"How the hell should I know? All I know is I'm going to fuck you to death!"

With a furious roar, Miura Yumiko exerted all her strength, and her entire body shot towards Ito like a golden meteor.

'There wasn't enough time to react; the speed was incredible.'

Ito's lips curled into a smirk, and he only had time to cross his arms in front of his chest in a defensive stance before he was sent flying, crashing into the middle of the second and third floors.

Several more deep, bone-revealing claw marks appeared on his body.

Bang!

Before his body could land, Miura Yumiko's attack came again.

She actually used the railings on both sides of the second floor as a springboard to perform a wild aerial dance towards Ito.

"That's an incredible speed!"

Saeko Busujima pursed her lips as she watched the golden light flashing back and forth in the air, her eyes revealing shock mixed with envy.

"This kind of attack is common in comics, isn't it?"

Eriri had somehow gotten close to them, her face a mixture of fear and excitement.

Kasumigaoka Utaha rolled her eyes: "You know that's a manga? You're supposed to be a top student at school, and you can't even tell the difference between reality and manga."

"And who are you?" Eriri looked at the fat woman in black stockings next to her with displeasure. For some reason, she felt uncomfortable whenever she saw this woman.

Coincidentally, Kasumigaoka Utaha had the same feeling; she always thought that the blond little guy was a bit of an eyesore.

"As a matter of basic politeness, you should call me 'senpai,' Sawamura Eriri-san."

"You're from Toyonosaki too?" Eriri's expression was a little unpleasant. "It's only natural for me to call you 'senpai' at school, but who would recognize you outside of school!"

"Whatever you want." Kasumigaoka Utaha tossed her hair nonchalantly. "I just didn't expect the famous Sawamura-san to be like this in private."

"What do you mean?!"

"Oh dear, I wonder who just fainted from fright."

"Damn it, I... I was just tired, yes, just tired!"

"Sawamura-kun, it's not shameful to faint from fright in that kind of scene, but being stubborn is not acceptable."

"Who's being stubborn, you bastard!"

…………

Saeko Busujima glanced at the two bickering, speechless. What kind of time is this to be arguing? Wouldn't it be better to use this time to escape?

Escape... She glanced at Yuki Risa sitting on the fifth-floor railing with a complicated expression. She had known Miura Yumiko since the beginning of the school year. Back then, she was not like she was now. Undoubtedly, everything she had now was brought to her by someone else. Who was it?

Thinking about the rumors circulating at school, Saeko Busujima had her answer.

The battle below continued. After being struck more than a dozen times in mid-air by Miura Yumiko, he was stomped hard on the chest and crashed into the fountain pool on the first floor of the mall like a meteorite, stirring up a cloud of water mist.

Soon, a blood mist rose from the water vapor, and Ito's figure was seen by the people.

Saeko Busujima gasped, and Utaha Kasumigaoka turned her head away in shock. Eriri, who was a little more timid, had already hidden in her mother's arms.

It's too awful.

Ito's body looked as if it had been cut by a giant cutting machine. There were deep, bone-revealing scratches all over his body, and his internal organs were all over the ground. Even half of his face was scratched beyond recognition, and the other half could only be vaguely seen as human. He could play a zombie in a post-apocalyptic movie without even needing makeup.

Wisps of black energy seeped from his wounds as he reached out with trembling hands, crying out, "Mom... Mom..."

"What?"

Yumiko Miura had also been de-awakened by this time, and although her body was tattered and covered in wounds, she was in much better condition than Ito.

Holding a blank card in her hand, she slowly walked towards Ito, who was on the verge of death.

"I saw my mom..."

Ito uttered indistinct words from his half-open mouth: "But it seems I can't keep my promise to her..."

Yumiko Miura shook her head coldly and placed the blank card on him: "I don't know what happened to you, but it's come to this. You... rest in peace!"

She felt nothing but disgust for Ito, who had caused immense casualties in reality. But as she was dying, she simply couldn't bring herself to utter any harsh words.

Ito stared at her intently, then suddenly smiled: "I understand. I won't let that guy succeed."

"What do you mean?"

Yumiko Miura frowned.

The next second, countless streams of black energy surged into the blank card, and various expressions appeared on Ito's disfigured face, his voice becoming increasingly shrill.

"You bastard, do you know you'll die doing this?!"

"Didn't you make a promise with your mother to live on?"

"Listen to me, open your heart and let me save you!"

"You beast, you're a complete lunatic!!"

"You risked your life for such a small act of kindness?!"

"I'm not giving up! Give me some time, how could this bitch possibly be a match for me?!"

Gradually, the black aura diminished, and the pattern on the blank card became clearer.

Finally, the black aura stopped, and a card emitting a blue light floated into Miura Yumiko's hand.

A City of Ghosts and Monsters: Chapter Ten - Everyone Arrives

It's actually a blue-tier item!

A smile finally appeared on Miura Yumiko's gloomy face. She had really struck gold this time!

The small golden tree on the back of her right hand began to flash, and the card information appeared before her eyes.

Card Name: Fatal Temptation

Rank: Blue

Abilities: 1. Can transform all food into incredible delicacies; those who consume the food will be controlled by the user; 2. Can create a cage to imprison the soul of the other party.

Note: This card originally did not have a blue rank, but it was upgraded due to the unwavering will that a certain young man displayed before his death.

The card depicts two people, both of whom are Ito. One is bathed in sunlight with a bright smile, while the other is shrouded in darkness with a fierce expression, clearly not someone to be trifled with.

Miura Yuko: "..."

Why do I feel inexplicably annoyed? And this card seems so useless. I have no idea how to use it. It's not like you can make the opponent eat something before you fight, right?

She shook her head and put the card in her pocket. Although it was useless, she could probably exchange it for a useful one at that bastard's place. After all, he had said before that if she had any useless cards, she could exchange them with him.

"Are you done fighting?"

"She won! The girl won!"

"That's great, waaaaah..."

"I survived, hahaha!"
