Burst
"ZAFKIEL!"
As the voice dropped, the three people immediately look back and saw Kurumi releasing her angel.
One of the men widens his eyes when he looks at the big clock.
He immediately tries to figure it out as soon as his sight falls on Kurumi.
This man who was formerly known and born as "Ike" is now known by many people as the Genius Founder and Managing Director of Deus Ex Machina Industries (D.E.M), Isaac Ray Peram Westcott.
Looking at the coming attack, he immediately makes a move and creates a barrier.
The process is at the critical point, if someone interrupts, he might wait for many years to summon another spirit.
Still, looking at Kurumi, he couldn't stop to suspect that she is a spirit since he couldn't see how high reiryoku she has with his naked eyes and need later some tools to tell her exact strength.
'Is she summoned by another person? No, If she is then I already found her while gathering the materials.'
He couldn't look for any idea in his brain why she existed however, when his sight was drawn again to the big clock, he make a grim expression.
An idea, an impossible idea came up to his mind.
If this is true then— No, that's the future and the present is present.
Also, It doesn't matter what is her reason but how can he just stand by?
"Ellen!"
The same as he shouted, Ellen equip her CR-Unit
Confused by what's happening, she touches her surrounding before punching and firing her surrounding, however, this brought her a drawback so she stops this idiotic move.
She doesn't know how and who's the one who trap her but no matter who she or he is, she will take this back in the future.
But first, she needs to think about how to break out here.
Westcott gritted his teeth but was immediately calm when he saw Ellen stop in mid-air.
The other man, who will be known as the future founder of Ratatoskr, Elliot Baldwin Woodman, was about to help his friend when suddenly someone pats his shoulder from his back.
"Don't move."
The two of them heard the voice of Shido from their backs and didn't dare to move.
Meanwhile, despite not moving, Westcott maintains his barrier even though his reiryoku will be depleted soon.
Still, he couldn't help but think about how he could be near them despite having the barrier on.
But that didn't matters right now.
He needs to gather some information and talk to the person behind their back is the only way but he knows that if he displeased him then they might die so he decided to wait for a bit before he made a move.
Westcott don't care for his life as long as he could reach his goal and witness it before he died.
Meanwhile, Woodman is scared but decided to make the first move to ask.
"Who are you?"
"You don't need to know. Also, I wouldn't stop you to summon the spirit since we're here to kill it."
When Westcott hears him, he decided to make a move by tapping the red button of a remote that is in his pocket.
The remote control is connected to the giant laser that is in outer space.
As soon as he taps the remote, the power in the giant laser gathers some reiryoku and shoots at his position.
He might not see but Westcott wanted to not waste his work hard for summoning the spirit.
He and Woodman will die so he will leave the rest to Ellen.
Ellen might not be suitable to become the new managing director but she is a fast learner so she might do it for the sake of them.
However, it's already a minute but the laser didn't land on them.
"I said don't make a move. Do you even understand?"
Shido helplessly sighs.
Meanwhile, the giant laser in space explodes before it fires.
*Splat
The sound of the blood that is coming from his chest.
At this moment, Westcott becomes a donut-like Ace in one piece.
Seeing this, Woodman's eyes lit in red but he lost consciousness when Shido chops him.
"Sleep well."
Meanwhile, Ellen is still trying to break out and didn't know what was going on with them.
Kurumi is still gathering every ounce of her reiryoku so that when the first spirit is born she will immediately fire her most powerful attack.
In the middle of the ceremony, a space crack appears, and slowly, a seeming body of human surfaces from it.
She knows that this is the time.
Pointing her flintlock pistol and musket to the human silhouette, a large reiryoku burst.
