# Chapter 1133: Kill Him, Lelei!
Under the bright and brilliant sunlight, the weather was freezing cold, and the cold wind howled.
[Swish! Swish!]
Two black afterimages, accompanied by rapid whistling sounds, appeared before Lelei and Cato in succession.
As for Second Lieutenant Itami Yoji, he was behind the two, still kneeling before Kanehira Rikugun's remains.
Actually, this group of 'protagonists' should have included a female elf named Tuka Luna.
But looking at the current situation, it was clear that some accident had occurred.
Besides that.
Around Second Lieutenant Itami Yoji were ten soldiers holding Type 64 Automatic Rifles and wearing green camouflage uniforms and tactical vests.
Among them were two women and eight men, all members of the Third Reconnaissance Team.
The specific names of the men will not be introduced one by one.
As for the two girls.
One was named Kuribayashi Shino, twenty-four years old.
She had short coffee-colored hair and brown-yellow eyes.
Her figure was petite, but her face was very beautiful, and her body was unexpectedly full.
Her current military rank was Sergeant First Class, which is an Army Sergeant.
Her personality was very cheerful and lively, and she was enthusiastic about various combat techniques.
She hoped to find a man as strong as herself.
Because she herself was very skilled in close-quarters combat and could kill people with a bayonet without changing her expression, nor would she experience any psychological pressure afterward.
This was something many modern soldiers found difficult to do.
The other was named Kurokawa Mari, twenty-three years old this year.
She was a great beauty with long dark purple hair, deep blue eyes, and a height of one meter ninety.
Her current military rank was also Sergeant First Class.
She graduated from the Self-Defense Force Central Hospital and was medical personnel with a nutritionist qualification.
At this moment, she was also kneeling beside Second Lieutenant Itami Yoji, watching the two figures that had suddenly appeared before her eyes with a vigilant gaze.
"Who are you? Why are you attacking us!"
Second Lieutenant Itami Yoji stood up and questioned loudly.
This also indicated that he was the one in charge here.
However, Raiga Kurosuki merely glanced at Second Lieutenant Itami Yoji and then ignored him.
He shifted his indifferent gaze to Cato and Lelei, the two mages holding magic staffs.
He was pondering whose handiwork the cold air just now was.
Finally, he guessed it was the old man.
After all, the girl with short blue hair looked too young no matter how he saw it.
"Tch, it must be a language barrier again, how troublesome!"
Raiga Kurosuki complained in a low voice, annoyed.
Kazahana Taihiro, who was beside him, also nodded in agreement.
At this moment, one could see how important Louise's role was.
At least for the current World Government, she was indeed very important.
"Never mind, let's take them down first. The old man is mine, you handle that girl!"
Raiga Kurosuki, as the captain, quickly assigned opponents.
As soon as his voice fell, a sharp glint suddenly burst forth from the corner of his eye, and the Thorn Twin Blades in his hand also began to emit crackling blue lightning.
"Lightning Burial: Lightning Feast!"
When these two dazzling electric light blades were inserted into the frozen earth in front of him.
Immediately, thick and long electric serpents spread out towards Cato, Lelei, Second Lieutenant Itami Yoji, and the others.
The frost on the ground along the way visibly cracked inch by inch.
Although they didn't have the various abilities of the 'True Lightning Blade'.
These two blades were made of extremely precious Chakra Metal after all.
Compared to ordinary weapons, they could guide the flow of Chakra more easily.
To a certain extent, this allowed him to use Ninjutsu without needing to form hand seals.
This scene caused Kuribayashi Shino, Kurokawa Mari, and the others to show panic, and they quickly performed tactical evasion movements.
However, Second Lieutenant Itami Yoji stood calmly in place.
This was because he possessed a special talent stronger than normal humans in his intuition, observation, and ability to judge the situation.
Therefore, he was very good at sensing crisis and avoiding danger.
Furthermore, he was originally from Japan's top special forces.
So, compared to ordinary soldiers, he could maintain composure more easily.
His ability to escape was also top-notch; in the story of the source material, the entire Japan Special Operations Group couldn't catch him.
Well, one could only say that as 'protagonists' from the same world.
He was much more outstanding than Hiraga Saito.
However, in terms of individual strength alone, Hiraga Saito was definitely much stronger than Second Lieutenant Itami Yoji.
After all, the latter was still within the realm of normal humans.
While the former was the 'God's Left Hand: Gandálfr' who could temporarily stop an army of seventy thousand by himself!
At this time, Second Lieutenant Itami Yoji noticed that Lelei and Teacher Cato in front of him showed no sign of nervousness, and he knew that the opponent's attack couldn't harm them.
And that was indeed the case.
Lelei merely raised her empty, fair and tender little palm, and a layer of colorful light barrier appeared out of thin air in front of her, blocking the incoming electric serpents.
Seeing this result, Kuribayashi Shino, Kurokawa Mari, and the others immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
This also caused Raiga Kurosuki and Kazahana Taihiro on the opposite side to frown.
"It looks like a type of barrier, but this little girl can use Instant Casting Technique, and the intensity is also good..."
Kazahana Taihiro said in a low voice.
But there was something he didn't say out loud.
The fact that the opponent could easily block Raiga Kurosuki's Lightning Release was enough to show that in terms of defense, she was at least above Chunin.
But she looked only fourteen or fifteen years old, so was this another genius?
Lelei on the opposite side, however, could understand their words.
In the past few months, she had basically learned Japanese thanks to her excellent learning ability.
She could already communicate normally with the officers and soldiers of the Ground Self-Defense Force.
So, when living at the base, she was often asked to help with translation.
Naturally, she could also understand what Raiga Kurosuki and the others were saying, she just found their accent a bit strange.
But that didn't matter.
After all, there were people with various accents and tones in the Ground Self-Defense Force as well.
Second Lieutenant Itami Yoji, however, was incredibly shocked, thinking to himself, "Japan also has mages?"
Could it be that the myths and legends from various places in the world were not fictional!
Thinking of this, Second Lieutenant Itami Yoji took a step forward and shouted loudly with righteous indignation.
"Please answer my question, both of you. My name is Second Lieutenant Itami Yoji, a Second Lieutenant in the Ground Self-Defense Force. Who exactly are you, and why are you attacking us!"
Hearing this, Kazahana Taihiro looked at Raiga Kurosuki and asked:
"Captain, since this guy can communicate with that girl, then we should also be able to communicate with her. Should we say something?"
Raiga Kurosuki quickly thought in his mind, then raised his voice and responded to Second Lieutenant Itami Yoji.
"We are ninjas under the World Government, who came to the Nuclear World, which is the world where your Japan is located, through another 'Gate'!"
"Now your entire country has been occupied by our troops, and in a while, the entire world will also be conquered, as well as this new world you call the 'Special Zone'!"
Then Raiga Kurosuki looked at Lelei and Cato, thinking that Cato could also understand what he was saying.
"Could we please ask the two of you to come with us? We are very curious about the magic of this world."
Lelei didn't have much reaction after hearing this, she just translated it to her teacher in a gentle voice.
But Second Lieutenant Itami Yoji, Kurokawa Mari, Kuribayashi Shino, and the dozens of Ground Self-Defense Force soldiers around them.
They were already stunned and dumbfounded by these words, completely frozen in place.
The amount of information was simply too large.
Another 'Gate' that appeared, the World Government, ninjas...
The most crucial thing was that their homeland had been 'stolen'?
But the fact was right before their eyes.
If Tokyo hadn't been completely occupied by the opponent.
How could these 'enemy troops' pass through the Gate of Ginza so openly and come to this Special Zone world?
Now they were completely panicked!
What should they do now, fight back?
But the opponent said the entire country was occupied, how could this small vanguard unit do anything!
Second Lieutenant Itami Yoji was also thinking frantically.
Of course, he wanted to doubt Raiga Kurosuki, but unless he could return to Japan, there was no way to verify it.
But if he wanted to go back, there were only two methods right now.
One was to fight back, and the other was to surrender.
What to do, what to do...
Finally, showing resourcefulness in a crisis, he bent down and leaned towards Cato, asking in a low voice:
"Teacher Cato, can we beat them? I mean, is there any possibility for us to return to Japan to check the situation?"
Although Second Lieutenant Itami Yoji used 'we'.
Everyone knew that he was actually asking 'can you do it'.
"We'll only know if we fight. Judging from the power of the lightning magic just now, it has reached the level of a 'Doctor'. If he gets stronger, he should be able to break Lelei's magic wall, so his comprehensive strength should be even greater."
Teacher Cato, holding a magic wand, stroked the beard in front of him and said unhurriedly.
"The question now is how many people of this strength the opponent has. If there are more than ten, let's leave first..."
"Ten!"
Hearing teacher Cato's words, Second Lieutenant Itami Yoji, Kuribayashi Shino, Kurokawa Mari, and the others behind him were instantly filled with surprise and delight.
As for the opponent's regular troops, no one specifically mentioned them.
The scene of Lelei freezing the entire area with one technique earlier was enough to prove that these modern soldiers, even with tanks and armored vehicles, were no match for these mages.
"Do you want to fight back, Itami?"
Lelei's beautiful deep blue eyes looked at this unusual man.
"Fight!"
"Even if we can't return to Japan temporarily, we must first drive them back and then find a way to block the 'Gate'!"
Second Lieutenant Itami Yoji thought that if these two mages couldn't resist the so-called World Government, then he would find a way to invite more mages to help.
As for The Empire, he didn't have any hope at all, it was too weak.
"I understand."
Seeing Second Lieutenant Itami Yoji make his decision, Lelei then turned her head and calmly looked at Raiga Kurosuki and Kazahana Taihiro.
"You should be able to understand Itami's words, so please leave on your own, otherwise, I cannot guarantee that you will not be harmed."
"Hehehehehe, what big talk!"
Raiga Kurosuki was amused by these words. As one of the former Seven Ninja Swordsmen.
He was not only a higher-up in Kirigakure but also a well-known figure in the entire Ninja World.
Now he was being threatened by a teenage little girl...
"Since that's the case, let's stop the nonsense. Let me see your magic!"
Raiga Kurosuki roared.
The Thorn Twin Blades in his hand once again emitted bright blue electric light.
[Bang!]
In an instant, as the Chakra beneath his feet exploded.
He transformed into a straight electric light and rushed forward with incredible speed.
Kazahana Taihiro also began to quickly form hand seals in front of him.
It was clearly not Ice Release this time.
[Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!]
On the other side, Lelei merely raised the wavy Sapphire Magic Staff in her hand.
A cluster of dazzling purple light circular formations began to appear in mid-air above her head.
Looking up, there were six of them!
In an instant, bolts of purple light, accompanied by piercing whistling sounds.
Shot out continuously from those circular formations.
In the blink of an eye, they had already transformed into a dense barrage in the air!
"What?"
Raiga Kurosuki, who was moving at high speed, changed his expression.
He didn't expect this little girl to possess such strength.
She was only the age of someone who had just graduated from the Ninja School!
However, being a veteran Jonin, while surprised, he did not feel fear.
"Lightning Release: Lightning Armor!"
While increasing his Chakra output, Raiga Kurosuki raised the Thorn Twin Blades in his hand and pressed the ends of their sword hilts together.
The next moment, dazzling electric light enveloped his entire body.
This was a secret technique he developed by referencing Cloud Hidden Village's Lightning Release Chakra Mode.
Although it couldn't be maintained for a long time, during the brief period of casting, it possessed the effect of integrated attack and defense, and also amplified his own speed.
But this was not the end.
Raiga Kurosuki faced the countless bolts of purple light falling from the air.
He began to quickly rotate the combined Thorn Twin Blades.
It looked somewhat similar to Zoro's 'Three Thousand Worlds' movement.
"Lightning Release: Lightning Dragon Tornado!!!"
Suddenly, a massive, thick and long thunder dragon, with scarlet eyes and its entire body condensed from lightning.
Flew out from the surface of the rotating, fan-like blade light, baring its fangs and claws.
"Roar!!!"
The thunder dragon roared, its dragon roar echoing, and it fiercely collided with the rain-like barrage.
[Boom boom boom boom...]
Extremely fierce, dense, and deafening explosions occurred one after another in the area.
Purple light and blue electric light intertwined.
A large amount of strong wind and air current continuously vented into the air.
The ground that had been frozen before also began to crack layer by layer.
But just as everyone's eyes subconsciously closed.
A swift electric light pierced through this countless chaos and shot straight towards Lelei.
Lelei was not unprepared; a colorful magic light barrier had already been erected in front of her.
Not to mention, her body surface also had the magic power of defensive magic.
This was the habit of combat mages in this world.
As long as combat occurred, they would first prioritize protecting themselves before attacking the enemy.
Therefore, the first thing mages of her faction had to learn was defensive magic.
The victory or defeat in a battle between mages mainly depended on who could break through the opponent's defensive magic first.
If it was just sparring, they would use this method to stop at the appropriate point.
It's worth mentioning that her faction was called the Linton School.
It was also the first mage school focused on combat to appear in this world.
Whether it was defensive magic, various high-power offensive magic, or Instant Casting Technique without incantations, all were researched by this school.
And her teacher Cato was the founder of this school!
Therefore, The Empire's idea that magic spell chanting took too long and was unsuitable for the battlefield only applied to the magic system of decades ago.
However, both Lelei and Cato underestimated Raiga Kurosuki.
The electric light he transformed into, like a spear condensed from lightning, instantly shattered the magic light barrier in front of Lelei.
The next moment, the sharp current at the tip was about to touch Lelei's fair forehead...
It was conceivable that her defensive magic could not block this attack from Raiga Kurosuki!
[Crackling----]
Just at this critical moment, a real lightning bolt suddenly struck down from the clear sky above.
No matter how fast Raiga Kurosuki was, he couldn't be faster than natural lightning approaching the speed of light.
When the entire scene returned to normal.
Everyone saw Raiga Kurosuki, already lying at Lelei's feet, the distance between them less than twenty centimeters.
He seemed not to have completely lost consciousness, but his violently trembling body temporarily prevented him from moving further.
He, a Lightning Release ninja, was actually restrained by lightning!
"How is this possible..."
Kazahana Taihiro, who was preparing to use Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique to coordinate the attack from behind.
Unconsciously stopped the hand seal movements in his hands with a face full of astonishment.
"This old man cannot allow you to harm my adorable student..."
Cato pressed down on the wizard hat on his head, his calm eyes looking down at Raiga Kurosuki.
Lelei, standing beside him, was somewhat in a trance looking at her teacher who was so serious.
Was this her lecherous and unreliable teacher?
"Lelei, you don't like killing people, but it's impossible for us combat mages not to kill. So today, let this old man give you this lesson. Kill him, Lelei."
Hearing teacher Cato's words, Lelei lowered her head and thought for a moment.
Then she said softly, "He should know many things, it's better to keep him for now and ask him what Itami wants to understand..."
Cato shook his head helplessly.
Although it sounded reasonable, he knew she was actually avoiding killing.
Ah, forget it, after all, she was only fifteen years old, let's talk about it when she's older.
"Alright, then as for the others, there's no need to keep them..."
(End of this chapter)
