Blood started dripping down those pale ghostly arms after Kotori got riddled with holes. It's a very gruesome sight for Tohka, Yoshino, and Mana as they stared with horror. Yoshino is the first one to close her eyes, she can't endure this sight anymore.
"Ahh…"
Kurumi licked her lips in elation.
"What a tragedy for such a young girl to die. You're so heartless and cruel!"
"Kurumi!"
Tohka and Mana yelled at Kurumi. They kept struggling to break free from their bonds. However, Tohka is still human while Mana sustained heavy injuries, this meant that they can't break free no matter how hard they tried.
Kurumi is too busy laughing out loud to notice the sarcastic grin on Kotori's face.
"Seriously…"
Kotori's cold voice made Kurumi's smile froze.
"I knew it's going to hurt so I prepared myself mentally, guess it's still gonna hurt whether or not you are prepared…"
Kotori looked at Kurumi with a smug smile.
Will-o'-wisp-esque flames covered Kotori's wound and she recovered instantaneously from the wounds she sustained just seconds ago.
"What?!"
Kurumi can't believe her eyes. She confirmed Kotori's unharmed state one more time with her eyes. To think there is another individual here that can defy death.
"Kotori!"
Tohka and the other girls all released sighs of relief. They thought she was going to die for sure from her grievous wounds.
Kotori grinned and she swiped her arms at Tohka and the other girls' direction. Flames engulfed the pale hands restraining Tohka and the other girls without harming the persons themselves.
Kurumi can't do anything but watch as the other girls all broke free from their shackles.
"Yeah!"
The girls stood up after they were freed by Kotori.
"Onee-sama!"
Enduring her pain, Mana hurried to Shiori's side in order to confirm her safety. After finding out that she's okay, she relaxed just a bit.
"Kurumi!"
Tohka gnashed her teeth at her.
"I can't believe you tied me to the ground in such a cowardly manner!"
"You girls…"
Kurumi also gnashed her teeth. She's a bit angry that her hostages are free. She's also blaming herself for letting her guard down, making their escapes easier.
Kurumi also knew her chances of winning are decreasing by the second. If Wu Yan chose to continue fighting or running, she won't be able to stop him from achieving his goals.
"How the tables have turned…"
Wu Yan lifted her hands and he unsealed two other sealing bracelets.
"Seal, unleash!"
Tohka and Yoshino felt their spirit powers returning to them as the mysterious energy that bound them to the sealing bracelet weakened.
Tohka closed her eyes and she channeled her spirit powers before letting out a loud battle cry.
"Spirit dress of God's authority, No 10!"
A huge storm started blowing and a purplish-black lightning bolt fell on Tohka.
After emerging from the lightning bolt, Tohka is now clad in her elegant and heroic spirit armor.
"Sandalphon!"
Tohka stomped the ground and a giant throne broke out from the ground that Tohka stomped on. A giant broadsword is embedded in the middle of the throne.
Pulling the blade out, the throne disappeared while Tohka pointed her blade at Kurumi.
"Spirit dress of God's authority, No 4!"
A soft voice came from Yoshino's side. She closed her eyes and cold air started swirling around her. The air was so cold that the ground started freezing over.
After she transformed, the misty cold air became a giant green raincoat that had a pair of rabbit ears as the hood.
"Zadkiel!"
She slammed the ground with her hand and a gigantic puppet emerged from the ground roaring in a majestic manner. Yoshino rode the puppet and she controlled the puppet after inserting her hand into the puppet. The puppet's eyes glowed in a sinister manner, Kurumi can feel the cold air wafting out from its gigantic mouth even if she is dozens of meters away.
"Spirit dress of God's authority, No 5!"
A torrent of flames sprouted from Kotori and her clothes got burned away in less than a second. The flames shrouded her like she's a divine being sent from the heavens. A sash floated behind her in defiance of gravity. A pair of horns also replaced her black ribbons, making her look very intimidating as an opponent.
"Camael!"
Kotori summoned her angel by lifting her hand. Flames climbed up her arm and materialized a flaming halberd that looked just as regal as her attire.
Tohka, Yoshino, and Kotori all materialized their astral dress and angels.
Right here, right now, the strongest team has assembled.
