"Hurry up and think of a way, or something bad is going to happen." The wind fueled the fire, and at this moment, the blaze was growing more and more intense. Seeing this, Shido Itsuka anxiously said to Tohka. After all, the only one who could stop the two people above was Tohka herself. As for Origami Tobiichi, not to mention that she had already left—even if she were here, Shido didn't think she could intervene in the battle between two Spirits.
"You're right, it really is a troublesome matter." Not to mention Shido, even Tohka herself didn't plan on getting involved in the fierce battle between the two. After all, the reason she had been able to intervene before was mainly because the two of them were only about to start fighting and hadn't gone all out. But this time it was different—now the two were already fighting to the point the sky and earth were darkened. Even if Tohka charged in now, she would be moving like a turtle and wouldn't be able to do anything about the two clashing up high.
"How about this, leave it to me." But just then, the voice of Inverse Tohka sounded in Tohka's mind.
"Don't mess around, this isn't something that can be solved with violence." What kind of joke was this—Tohka absolutely wouldn't let that one come out again, or else with her simple way of dealing with things, she'd only push everything in the worst possible direction.
"Fine then, I'd like to see what method you'll use to deal with those two." Knowing that Tohka wouldn't let her out, Inverse Tohka didn't mind. Instead, she looked at Tohka with great interest. In her opinion, as long as she knocked those two down, everything would stop being a problem.
"Watch closely, leave it to me." Confidently saying this, Tohka turned her gaze toward the two figures in the sky. Then, she shifted her eyes to the anxious Shido at her side.
"My, my, I'm sorry. Looks like I'll have to use my original power, or else I really won't be able to deal with those two." Smiling sweetly at Shido, Tohka directly pulled her power out of his body. After all, in the original story, Tohka could do this—she just hadn't paid much attention to it usually. But now, since this power had been sealed by Tohka herself, extracting it went even more smoothly. Although she knew that without her power suppressing it, the energy in Shido's body would inevitably become restless, in the short term there wouldn't be any problem at all. So Tohka didn't need to worry about this guy exploding or anything.
"Final Sword (Halvanhelev)." Completely ignoring the astonished Shido, who was shocked to see her wearing her complete Astral Dress, Tohka directly summoned her crystal throne. Then, she drew the massive sword from the throne chair. Immediately, she swung it down in one strike, and the shattered throne slowly condensed into the giant sword in her hand, and then a giant sword more than ten meters long appeared in her grip.
"Gulp." Seeing the weapon in Tohka's hand, Shido subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva. He clearly remembered that just earlier, Tohka had almost killed Origami with a single strike. Although he didn't know how Origami had survived, Tohka's attack had directly pierced her shield. As for how Origami had lived, no matter what she herself said, she couldn't explain it clearly. So, he didn't know whether she was pretending or really didn't know. So now that Tohka was drawing this sword again, even he couldn't help feeling a little afraid.
"Hmph." Without paying attention to the now nervous Shido, Tohka swung her sword down toward the two in the sky locked in their fierce duel. Then, a blue-purple sword wave hundreds of meters long spanned the entire sky, flying straight at the two who were fighting without restraint.
"Nani." At this moment, the two people who had been locked in combat in midair suddenly felt a shiver run through their entire bodies. Immediately afterward, at a speed that almost defied the laws of physics, they froze in place. Right then, the sword wave passed through the spot they had just occupied and disappeared into the sky.
"What was that!!!" The two finally stopped their movements for the moment, turning their gazes in the direction the sword wave had come from. Then, they stared in shock at Tohka clad in crystalline armor, holding her enormous sword. What shocked them most of all was that Tohka's aura at this moment was so overwhelmingly powerful that it surpassed the sum of their own. After all, even though Tohka had caught them off guard before, they knew that as soon as they recovered, they could make her flee all over the place. But now... fine, neither of them had any confidence that they could beat Tohka one-on-one. Of course, they weren't exactly frightened, but they did look at Tohka with eyes full of astonishment. The two of them couldn't understand where this power of Tohka's had come from, nor why she was interfering in their fight. After all, with power like this, if she had stepped in from the start, they never would have been able to fight at all. Not to mention that now, the storm they'd stirred up had nearly ripped this entire island from the earth.
"Say, have you two had enough?" Satisfied to see the two freeze in place, terrified by her single strike, Tohka dispelled the Final Sword in her hand. Then, Sandalphon appeared in her grasp. After all, while that sword looked immensely powerful, it was also extremely unwieldy. Generally, if it wasn't some exceptional situation, Tohka rarely used that sword.
"Will it never end with you two? Don't you two realize yet that you can't live without each other anymore?" Without paying any attention to the two's shocked expressions, Tohka slowly floated up, arriving in front of them. Then she locked her aura onto them, otherwise if these two tried to run, she really might not be able to catch them.
"How could that be—this princess is going to become the true Yamai. How could I possibly care about this impostor? What nonsense are you talking about—we're just..."
"I object. Yuzuru is the true Yamai. Kaguya is nothing but an impostor. I will be the one to achieve the final victory, and then..."
Hearing Tohka's words, Kaguya Yamai and Yuzuru Yamai hurried to deny it. But halfway through their sentences, they found it hard to keep speaking. After all, the two of them had always either ignored or deliberately avoided this issue. So, facing Tohka, they instead fell into a somewhat confused state. After all, even the two of them couldn't leave each other anymore.
"Alright then, I'll act as your referee one more time, but I..." Before she could finish her sentence, Tohka directly aimed the giant sword in her hand at the two of them.
