Chapter 102

Bai Mo now possesses the power of the void and can easily open the imaginary door to shuttle back and forth between the imaginary and real worlds. She can also transport objects through this portal to achieve various attack purposes.

After acquiring Ankokuken Kurayami, Bai Mo gained a new power. While Ankokuken Kurayami can cut through space, the space it cuts is not the familiar imaginary space but a new, unknown space to Bai Mo.

Curious about the potential of this new space, Bai Mo decided to experiment by combining it with her own imaginary space. After repeatedly battling Touma, Bai Mo finally confirmed the feasibility of her idea.

"Senpai! Have you ever played the Touhou series of games?" Bai Mo shouted loudly after Touma barely avoided one of her attacks.

"Touhou? Games?"

Touma didn't quite understand what Bai Mo meant and shook his head.

"It's a simple dodge barrage game. As long as your hand speed is fast enough and your brain is flexible, you can easily pass the levels."

"A barrage game... I think I've heard of it, but I've never played it."

"That's great! Let's play a real-life version of the barrage game next!"

"A competition? Why are we suddenly playing games? And is there a real-life version of a barrage game?"

Touma was still a bit confused and hadn't realized the seriousness of the situation.

"Yes, there is! And it's also part of the competition." Bai Mo smiled mischievously.

"Okay... How exactly do we play?"

"Let's start with something simple. How about we play a modified version of Touhou?"

"Well... I don't quite understand. Aslaug, just tell me the rules of the game."

Touma thought confidently, "For a barrage game, as long as you dodge all the attacks, there should be no problem."

Seeing that Touma had taken the bait, Bai Mo was as happy as someone selling insurance. She then spent some time explaining the rules of the game to Touma.

The rules were straightforward. Bai Mo would launch long-range attacks on Touma within a specified time, and Touma's task was to survive until the time was up without being forced out of his transformed state.

If successful, Touma would win the game; otherwise, Bai Mo would win.

The time limit was three minutes, and there would be no punishment or reward afterward since it was just a spontaneous entertainment game.

"Come on, Aslaug! I'm ready!"

As a novelist, Touma hadn't experienced the joy of playing in a long time, so he was very excited to finally have the opportunity.

"Hehe! I'll use the character card, Izayoi Sakuya! Be prepared, Touma-senpai!"

The Law of Victory is set! Distance was never a problem!

Bai Mo walked back about 40 to 50 meters and nodded in satisfaction at Touma, who was about 100 meters away.

On the other side, Touma thought, 'This distance must be more than 100 meters. If she attacks from a distance, the speed will be much slower. It seems that I will win this game!'

Both of them had made their final preparations.

At the same time, Bai Mo casually materialized a pocket watch to calculate the time.

"Start counting!" With Bai Mo's prompt, she quickly launched an attack.

"Boom!!!"

Suddenly, a purple-black sword wave split the sky and the earth, seemingly covering the sky and sun, and quickly rushed toward Touma in the distance.

Touma had no time to be careless. He immediately used the Wonder Drive Book to summon an ancient dragon's bone claw to block the damage, while his other form used elementalization to dodge all attacks.

Seeing Touma handle the attack with ease, Bai Mo decided to add more intensity.

"Swoosh!"

With a wave of her hand, dozens of sub-space lances appeared out of thin air and shot toward Touma at high speed in a semi-imaginary state.

"The same move is useless against me!"

Touma habitually slashed out a few sword waves to try to destroy the sub-space lances as they shot through the air.

"That's not necessarily true."

Bai Mo smiled slightly.

As soon as she finished speaking, Touma was directly hit by the explosion of the sub-space lances and was forced to retreat several steps.

"They actually went straight through?"

"It feels so unreal. They can cause an explosion even though they have no physical form."

After taking a full explosion and realizing that his attack was ineffective, Touma reacted quickly.

"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!"

A few more sub-space lances shot at him, accompanied by a few sword waves.

This time, Touma didn't choose to confront them head-on. Instead, he hid and observed, discovering that the sub-space lances would only exit their imaginary state when they were about to touch a solid object. By relying on this rule, Touma gradually found a way to deal with them.

"As expected of Kamiyama Sensei, but it's too late to figure it out now. The BOSS is about to enter the second stage!"

Watching Touma destroy all the sub-space lances, Bai Mo used Ankokuken Kurayami to draw lightly in front of her.

"Swish!"

Real space was torn apart, and a purple space crack, exactly her height, appeared out of thin air. This was the ability of Ankokuken Kurayami to tear apart space.

While harassing Touma with the sub-space lances, Bai Mo had become familiar with this power. Now, she had perfectly mastered its use.

"As a BOSS, it should be easy for me to open a mod that ignores attack distance!"

Bai Mo couldn't suppress the smile at the corner of her mouth. During this time, she had perfectly planted the coordinates of the imaginary space in the space torn by Ankokuken Kurayami.

This meant that Bai Mo now needed to do only one thing: throw skills into this space crazily and then open the imaginary portal next to Touma.

Because the two spaces were connected, the skills Bai Mo threw into one space would appear from the other side of the imaginary door and then cause damage to Touma.

Although this could be achieved with the Imaginary Portal alone, it would be too simple. The best strategy was to use both together, making it impossible for the opponent to find the spatial coordinates.
