Chapter 212 : Zafkiel vs Zafkiel
*Bom
*Bang, Bang
"You won't escape! Come here, Yuki-san!"
*Bang, bang
Twisting his body in the air, Yuki dodged several projectiles, his Sharingan spinning as he saw various clones coming from behind.
*Bang, bang
Refusing to stay on the defensive, he also fired.
*Bang, bang
*Bom
However, not everything went as he thought...
Because Kurumi's clones also chose to evade his projectiles, simultaneously using each other as bridges to gain more speed.
"Hahaha, interesting!"
*Bam
With his curiosity piqued, Yuki decided to dive down, creating various air impulses due to his speed.
"Kihihi, you can run as much as you want, but you'll never escape from me."
Following closely, Kurumi refused to relent, descending with him.
Her speed as a power was inferior to Yuki's, the same with her physical abilities. However, she compensated with her skill in shadow manipulation, as every flight, every clone entered the shadows, teleporting immediately around him. This left Yuki defenseless, as this girl played dirty.
*Bang, bang
But it was okay; it made things more fun. So, looking up, Yuki shot, reducing the number of her clones to the maximum. After all, Kurumi's clones outnumbered him three to one.

Entertainment District, Orario
*Bom
The sky over this district was chaos, multiple figures in the sky falling like flies.
*Bom
"There goes another one!"
Frowning, Aisha held Haruhime in her arms. The black barrier came so suddenly that those outside the family didn't have time to run. Seeing Haruhime weakened and falling, Aisha held her.
She also looked at the ones causing all of this.
*Bang, bang.
"Hahaha... you got complacent!"
"I don't think so~"
*Bang, bang
Watching as Yuki shot a Kurumi clone on the ground and laughed, Aisha held Haruhime tighter in her arms.
However, Yuki's laughter didn't last long, as several clones of Kurumi materialized from the fallen clone, shooting point-blank at Yuki, who, like the previous clone, fell to the ground in blood.
How many had died?
Aisha didn't know. All she could do was huddle in a corner, watching the corpses falling from the sky.
"They're monsters."
The power these two had was immense. Fortunately for her family, no buildings or people were damaged. The fights took place in the air, with only them falling.
---
But while the clones massacred each other, the originals were having an extraordinary battle in the clouds.
*Bom, Bom
*Bang, bang
"Zafkiel: Zayin!"
Turning backward, Yuki activated the seventh bullet. Kurumi was more troublesome than he thought, so he chose to use his angel.
"Zafkiel: Aleph!"
*Bang, bang
Shooting simultaneously, Kurumi activated the first bullet.
*BOM
As the counterpart to the first bullet, the seventh bullet was capable of blocking the effects and counterattacking. As a user of Zafkiel, Kurumi knew its weaknesses and how to stop it.
So, the clash of both bullets caused a time explosion, separating them with shockwaves. The impact between both bullets was very strong.
"Zafkiel: Hei!"
*Bang
Shooting herself, taking advantage of the explosion, Kurumi smiled as Zafkiel's needles started to spin.
"Zafkiel: Gimmel!"
*Bang, bang
Shooting more projectiles, Kurumi flew around Yuki, intending not to let him escape.
"No more games... Zafkiel: Aleph!"
*Bang
Shooting himself, Yuki moved at extreme speeds, successfully dodging her projectiles. He was tired of dodging this woman's bullets, so he decided to end this little encounter. Appearing instantly in front of Kurumi, the original, with the spark gun aimed at her. But...
"Kihihi, that's you, Yuki-san. I didn't expect anything less from you."
"?!?!"
Before he had time to shoot, he felt three incredible impacts on his back. This made him open his eyes as his body froze, moving very slowly.
"You're mine~"
*Bang, bang
Shooting two projectiles point-blank, Kurumi's smile widened. After all, she had several tricks Yuki still didn't know.
But...
With the Sharingan spinning, the bullets aimed at him disappeared, as did his body.
*Bang, bang
"Illusion!"
Turning his body quickly, Yuki managed to dodge the bullets that were shot. However...
"Guh!"
He couldn't dodge them all, as two of them hit his abdomen.
"Zafkiel: Aleph!"
*Bang
Without a second thought, Kurumi activated the first bullet, disappearing instantly.
Yuki, on the other hand, narrowed his eyes.
"Troublesome..."
Yuki had to admit that if it weren't for the Sharingan, he would be in danger. After all, Kurumi had set a trap for him.
"Kurumi... I never thought bullets could be used that way."
Bringing a hand to his chin, Yuki thought about what just happened.
When he activated the first bullet, Yuki was sure he dodged her projectiles, and there was no clone around him...
So how did the bullets go through him?
The answer is simple...
At the moment Kurumi shot, the projectiles stopped moving within a distance of 20 meters from their launch.
And when Yuki reappeared in front of Kurumi, the bullets rewound in time, causing Yuki, who was in front of Kurumi, to take the bullets.
This rewind effect was very similar to the fourth bullet, Dalet.
Now, how did Kurumi make her bullets have two different effects?
"Hahaha... It was a good idea to summon you!"
Despite being very curious, Yuki was very pleased with summoning Kurumi. After all, this girl had given him many surprises.
"As expected of my original... She's quite a master."
Smiling, Yuki admired that woman a lot. Unlike him, she used Zafkiel in a smoother and more refined way. Moreover, the time used in each bullet was less than what he used.
---
"Zafkiel: Dalet!"
*Bang.
Healing her body, Kurumi took a deep breath.
"That troublesome eye..."
The Sharingan was a problem. Kurumi analyzed it instantly; in that small moment of the shot, she glanced for a second at that crimson eye. The ability to see through her attacks and even predict them left her defenseless...
If it weren't for Zafkiel sending her a spiritual pulse at the last second, she would be at her opponent's mercy.
But, fortunately, this made her realize one thing.
"I can't rely on Hei."
Yes, she uses the fifth bullet to catch him with her delayed-effect bullets, but it was in vain because the 'future' she saw was the 'illusion' future that Yuki showed her. This was also one of the reasons why Yuki didn't use Hei in battle; the future was changing and infinite, so you never know which future it's heading to. And with opponents who can use strong Genjutsu like Itachi, Yuki only asked to die.
"I have no choice... I'll have to use it."
Frowning, Kurumi had invested a lot of time in this fight. Yuki was very powerful; although he lacked skill in manipulating Zafkiel, the strength of his bullets was far superior to hers, and her time was running out.
*Shua
"Are you ready? Let's continue with the second round."
But while she was pondering her options, Yuki materialized about 10 meters away from her.
"Eh~ of course~..."
However, Kurumi already expected this. With both weapons in her hands, she aimed them while sweetly smiling at her opponent.
"This will be the last round~"
"Let's make it grand!"
Yuki, of course, responded with enthusiasm, aiming his spark gun.
