Rebuild World

Soon Alpha's outfit had changed. Akira asks Alpha when she realizes about it.

"Alpha. How did you change your clothes?

Alpha's clothing has turned into the same type of fortified clothing as Akira's, reflecting the difference in the length of the two backs and the shape of the men and women, but basically looking to be wearing the same clothes.

Alpha smiles.

"Sometimes I thought I'd dress up as Akira and Matsumi. What do you say? '

'I don't care what they say. Normal?'

Alpha is often dressed in fortified clothing when she is training Akira in melee combat. Old world-style, enhanced clothing with a design that makes you feel the difference in culture through boldness.

Compared to that outfit, the Alpha outfit is too normal right now. The irregularities in the fortified garments, such as those designed to fit the size of Alpha's abundant chest, are also not enough to worry about, compared to the fortified garments of the old world, where there are openings of unknown use.

Alpha speaks with a slightly dazed expression.

'That's a really frank and boring reply. I figured Akira should learn a little bit more about the area.'

Akira answers slightly dissatisfied.

'I don't care if they say that. Besides, it wouldn't be about talking right now. "

'So is that. Then let's talk about the right thing. Akira, one of our enemies has entered the building. Relatively small heavy-duty reinforced clothing. If you're big, you're on guard around the building.'

Akira's tension increases. Talk about clothes disappears from Akira's head.

'I knew you wouldn't have left. Even if it was a small one, it would have been pretty big, wouldn't it? Did you come in with that figure?

The width and height of the aisles of the buildings where Akira and the others are located are designed for normal human use. It's hard to move around with the heavy reinforced clothes Nelia was equipped with.

Didn't you force yourself to come in while breaking the wall forcefully? Akira thought so, but soon Alpha denies it.

'I took off my fortified clothes and came in. The operation to lure them into a small area and deactivate their fortified clothes went well. It's just unknown how weakened they are. Maybe he came in because he decided he could kill without fortified clothes.'

"It would be helpful if I could just rip off my fortified clothes like that tank I was wearing. If we don't have fortified clothes, if we hit the CWH Object Assault Gun's special bullet, we could kill it, right?

I don't know if it works or not, but it's a long way from continuing to shoot while grinding and reducing the spirit. Akira had hope that the winner had come out thinking that way.

Before Akira's hopes turn into aspirations after an optimistic guess, Alpha stabs the nail (crease).

'It's just the winning eye that came out, and Akira didn't have the advantage. Don't get distracted.'

'I know. He's the one in charge. Don't be alarmed.'

Akira replied strongly to keep her mind tight.

Smile like Alpha was happy with Akira's reply.

'I'd lure the opponent into a long hallway, if I could, so I could snipe him off the edge of the hallway. We'll keep moving to the right place.'

"Where are they now?

"Over there."

Akira sees the direction Alpha points in. There are only walls in that direction, but Akira's expanded vision showed Nelia beyond several walls in an easy (yasu) way.

Akira was working her guard against her superior opponent, but the wall and distance between her and Nelia and the loosening that Akira would not be visible from Nelia had slightly reduced Akira's guard.

Akira watches Nelia. Nelia had her face toward Akira. Akira did feel the gaze from Nelia, who was supposed to be across the wall.

And Akira and Nelia's eyes met. Akira's vigilance, which was loose, jumps at once.

"Get down!

At the same time as Alpha screams, Akira tries to lay low on the floor. Akira's behavior was roughly consistent with that of the reinforced clothing performed by Alpha. As a result, Akira was able to lay herself down on the floor at an incredible rate.

Shortly before she tried to lay low on the floor, Akira was watching Nelia's behavior. Nelia is trying to break Akira both ways. That's what Akira looked like.

Between Akira and Nelia is quite far apart, and between them there are several walls. Nelia is holding a knife in her right hand, but not the distance that her body reaches Akira. Even if it got to Akira, the building material would be sturdy enough to prevent Kane's heavy weapon bullets and it would be difficult to rip that wall with a knife.

Usually, Akira won't have to take evasive action. Despite that, Akira was reflexively taking evasive action. Ask Akira why and she'll say somehow, or (some) yes, it's an inquiry. Because it was a judgment in an unconscious realm.

The elements that led Akira to that decision vary. Sometimes Nelia's unmistakable movements didn't let the seer judge it as pointless behavior. But the biggest element is that Akira has had similar experiences in the past.

Cut out the space ahead with the knife Nelia holds in her right hand. The knife itself does not appear to plunder against the wall. But Nelia's attack double-crossed the wall in front of Nelia, and all the walls between him and Akira. The knife used by Nelia was a relic of the old world. The blue and white light emitted from the full body of the knife became the blade of light, doubling the space in front of Neria for each substance present there.

Akira barely escaped the blade. The rucksack I was carrying was torn apart and the contents scattered. The magazine had been cut off from each ammunition. The sharp cutting surface of the bullet is smooth enough to show a mirror-like glow.

There is no heat on the light blade passing Akira's back and ammunition gunpowder will not explode. The blade had purely cut or extinguished the object it had passed through.

After Nelia cuts off the existence of a dozen meters radius, Nelia's knife, the fullness of the relics of the Old World, collapses without sound. His body was dust before it fell to the floor and disappeared.

Nelia grinned when she saw Akira lowering herself to fall, but soon realized she hadn't been able to kill Akira.

"Kill!... No. Did you just unpack?... Sort of good. Looks like you could have killed one of your people. Still, I can't believe we're avoiding the current one."

Nelia watched Akira's movements and decided that Akira was as aware of the opponent's movements as she was. Because if you don't, there's no reason why you should have let an earlier blow happen.

Throw down the knife where Nelia only got the pattern.

"At all, it's a luxury to survive by wasting one relic of the old world to kill you. Sort of good. I still have relics from my old world. Wait. I'll chop it up for you in a minute."

Nelia pulled another knife out of her belt and equipped her hands. The knife had only a pattern, and it was not fitted. Nelia grips the pattern hard. Liquid metal then flows out of the knife pattern ignoring gravity, and silver liquid shapes the knife's body. The body continued to grow and changed to a thin blade about two meters across the blade.

Nelia waves a blade of both hands against the wall in front of her. The blade cleaved the strong wall as easily (yawning) as if it were cut with jelly.

Nelia puts a painful kick in the wall where she puts the cut in, utilizing the output of the prosthetic body. A severed wall kicks over by Nelia and flies away. Nelia breaks into the interior of the room through that hole. And he went straight to Akira, joyfully laughing at the cleavage of the relics of the old world, tearing apart one wall after another that separated him from Akira.

Akira, who dodged Nelia's slaughter by laying herself on the floor, immediately tries to grasp the situation. I didn't even know exactly what Nelia did to me, but I only understood that I was attacked that reached my position, and that I got my whole life to nine deaths.

The contents were scattered around because they tore the rucksack apart. Unfortunately, Akira's information terminal was also cut off and rolled on the floor. If there was an alpha, it wouldn't have to be operated one at a time, so the information terminal was in the rucksack.

Akira looks at the destroyed information terminal and strikes her tongue. Alpha was doing a lot to manipulate Akira's fortified clothing, but its initial setting was via this information terminal. If the destruction of the information terminal prevents Alpha from operating Akira's fortified clothing, Akira's combat capabilities will be fatally reduced.

Look at Alpha as Akira rises.

"Alpha. The information terminal's broken, but are you okay?

The moment I saw Alpha, Akira's expression stained with sad consternation. Alpha, whose torso had been amputated, was rolling on the floor with blood paint.

Seeing a sight that shouldn't be possible, seeing a sight you don't want to believe, Akira forgets about the enemy and screams.

"Alpha!!

Akira rushes over to Alpha desperately, trying to wake up with her torn upper body of Alpha. Akira's hand slammed through Alpha's body and hit the floor.

'Calm down. My appearance is virtual. You forgot?

Akira, who was cruel and confused, returned to me when she heard Alpha's voice as usual. Alpha remains mutilated and smiles (cheeks) toward Akira only at her neck.

"What would have happened if I had been real here with my biological flesh and had taken the earlier attack in earnest (decent)? I'm just drawing the results."

Alpha looks miserably amputated, but it's essentially the same for Alpha that she simply changed her clothes. Akira was relieved to understand that Alpha was safe, but immediately asks Alpha with a suspicious (keen) look.

"Hey, why are you doing that..."

Alpha wouldn't have looked like this to surprise Akira either. Akira was beginning to think about the reason as she asked, but Alpha stops it.

"Question later. I'm safe. Now in battle. The enemy is approaching. Grasp all that and prepare yourself for the enemy. Oh, my face will stay like this for a while. But we can have a normal conversation, and it doesn't affect your support for Akira. Don't worry about that. '

Enemy, hear the word and Akira's consciousness switches. Akira shelves all the questions in her head and focuses her consciousness on Nelia, her impending enemy.

Quickly raised Akira attempts to point a CWH objective assault gun towards Nelia. But in that direction is the wall of the building. Akira hesitated a little, but pulled the trigger by targeting Nelia, who was displayed across the wall.

The CWH objective assault gun's dedicated bullet hits the wall directly. A crack can run radially from the point of landing on the wall. But that didn't even make a hole in the wall. Even though the CWH Objective Assault Gun's special bullet was directly hit at close range, the special bullet simply plunged into the wall without penetrating the wall.

Akira is amazed at the sturdiness of the wall.

"You're stiff!? How did he slash this wall!?

"I used relics from the old world. Akira did it before, didn't she?

Akira remembered a bandit who had previously attacked herself double-crossed every wall of the building with a knife of relics from the old world. Akira only slashed her opponent one wall apart then. There is no doubt that the artifacts used by Nelia are of more performance than that.

"Is that it! It's no trouble being used by enemies. What am I supposed to do?

'We have to do something to catch them on the ray. I'm coming. I don't know how far you can keep up with your opponent's movements with Akira's fortified clothes, but you're going to be doing some pretty lame manipulation, so eat up your teeth and bear it.'

'Okay, I get it! At least let me finish before my hands and feet break a thousand times!

Akira replied to the feeling of giving up. There are no more recovery pills left. Besides, the effects of the remaining healing pills in the body can also be cut straight. The next impotent (mucha) whose fortified clothes are resistant to Akira, the next overload that its impotent (mucha) exerts on Akira's body really does not pull and chop Akira's limbs together.

Answer in a position where the alpha is broken and remains rolled on the floor.

"I'll try."

If Akira is judging Alpha's position by her voice alone, she always seems to be standing right on her side (by her side). That calmed Akira down a little but still answers in a bit of a hurry.

'Answer me there with confidence, as always!

'It's okay.... even if you cut a thousand pieces, you can walk home in fortified clothes.'

Akira, alert to Nelia and looking in that direction, cannot see the look on Alpha's face depicted as falling on the floor. But you must be smiling a little bit. Akira thought so somewhat and distorted her face with a bitter smile.

Nelia proceeded through the building by tearing apart the wall between Akira and him and finally arrived in front of the room where Akira was. Nelia sees Akira in the room. Akira is distancing herself from the wall, putting up a gun and waiting for Nelia. They're after the moment Nelia breaks down the wall and walks into the room. Nelia also understood about that.

Nelia stops in front of the wall and laughs fun.

"You think that standing in a place like that can't do the same thing to me again, like when I cut your people off. Correct. There are no more artifacts in that hand. It would have been easier if you had died. It's going to take a lot of work."

Nelia sets up a blade on both hands.

"You can't attack me over the wall with your gun. My blade can cut the wall, but I can't cut you (you) at a distance. So we're stuck with each other any more. After that, as long as the adhesive state continues and the colorless mist clears over time, the communication state will recover and the allies will come to help. Just stick with it until then. Maybe that's what you're thinking? Sorry, we're in a bit of a hurry."

Shake the blade as Nelia spins to dance on the spot.

"So I'll be right over there."

As Nelia lifted one foot higher than her head, she stepped on the floor with her feet down vigorously as they were. The floor, which was slashed in a circular shape, falls downstairs due to its impact. Nelia also smiled (cheeks) and went straight down with the floor.

Akira can see Nelia across the wall thanks to Alpha's support. Watching Nelia, who was on the same floor, fall downstairs, Akira gave the look of surprise only for a moment. But as soon as I realized what Nelia intended to do, Akira's expression became all at once harsh.

Akira jumps off the spot. A silver blade stretches out of the floor a moment late. Cut off everything the blade touched and disappear downstairs. The one that touched the blade has a little air in the room and Akira's forehead. And the fantasy is that Nelia outside the room can't kill Akira.

Nelia targets Akira from downstairs with a blade of both hands. Jumps up near the ceiling with the body's physical abilities and unleashes a slash on a target across the ceiling in the air. The silver blade held in Nelia's hands is an easy (yawning) cut through the walls of the building that prevented even the exclusive ammunition of the old world's CWH objective assault guns. Naturally it cannot be prevented with Akira's fortified clothing.

Akira continued to desperately evade the silver fillings jumping off the floor. Akira herself, naturally, can't be killed by the weapons she's equipped with. I can't even prevent Akira from blading with a gun. Perhaps because it will be broken off as well as the building walls, or at least destroyed to an unusable state.

If you lose your means of attack, Akira's chances of winning will be hopeless. Even if Akira punched Yazima in the head with the power of her body, she couldn't make Yazima incapable of combat. Probably the same for Nelia. I'm not the one you can beat with your bare hands. That's what Akira thought.

Nelia's blade tries to cleave Akira obsessively (persistently) as she cleaves the floor endlessly. Akira keeps crushing herself from the blade.

A regular blade would wear off by slashing the floor of material that prevents even the dedicated ammo of the CWH objective assault gun, gradually losing the sharpness and eventually not cutting. But this blade is a relic of the old world. It's the crystal of old world technology. No matter how many times Nelia rips off the floor, its cleavage will never diminish. The blade, which is shaped by fixing the special liquid metal with a force field, was melting, fixing repeatedly every time it was shaken, always maintaining the highest cleavage.

Akira keeps running desperately through the room. Because when Akira tries to escape the room, Nelia releases a slaughter aimed at stopping her escape more than Akira's amputation. As a result, Akira was unable to escape the room.

Akira can't attack Nelia. The floor is the same material as the wall. In addition, the CWH Object Assault Gun can't target Nelia directly underneath when the muzzle hits the floor.

"Alpha! I can't hold my legs if I stay like this!?

Akira has repeatedly accelerated and stopped suddenly to avoid Nelia's slaughter. Both legs are heavily loaded for the movement. I already have paralysis (eyelids), such as sensations other than pain. The limits of Akira's legs are close. Both biological and fortified clothing.

Answer with a calm voice as opposed to Akira, where Alpha panics.

'Be patient. It's okay. We haven't cut a thousand yet. Almost there. "

'That's good in the sense that we're almost getting a chance to fight back!? Doesn't mean you're about to cut a thousand!?

Of course.... Though I can't guarantee the condition after the counterattack '

'Guarantee me!

"That's a little hard."

There is a thread to fight back, but the price may be huge. Akira kept desperately fleeing Nelia's slaughter with a very unpleasant look on her face.

Nelia had slaughtered Akira many times, but Akira had slaughtered all of it. Nelia was stunned by the matter, but didn't stop laughing at the advantage.

Nelia seemed to keep even targeting Akira at first glance, but the slaughter included something released for purposes other than attacking Akira. Slashing the ceiling for Nelia, or the floor for Akira, at a subtle angle, was creating a part that was cut from the surrounding floor but not caught and fell off.

Nelia was going to lure Akira to the place and kick the place and seal Akira's movements. Kick Akira from floor to floor and break Akira out of shape in the air.

Nelia slightly adjusts the direction of the slaughter that releases to Akira and directs Akira's evasion direction to the location of the plant. If you don't, Akira dies. Akira has no choice but to avoid being guided in the right direction.

And the moment Akira comes to the place of the planting, Nelia deepens her grin and jumps. As it is, Nelia unleashes a painful kick in the air that takes advantage of the output of the prosthetic body. At the feet of Akira directly above, the floor of the cut part with the other floor cracks under the kick of the power of even bending the steel.

A very momentum kicked ceiling blows every Akira as Nelia expected, never. Even though there were no connections to other parts, even though Nelia kicked them up with the physical ability of the prosthetic body beyond the concurrent fortification clothing, the part that was supposed to have been cut remained there.

"Become!?

Nelia gave an unexpected look of amazement and a voice of surprise. Nelia falls ill with kicking recoil. The kick recoil also grew because the part that was supposed to blow up didn't move off the spot.

That part was already quite brittle with Nelia's slaughter. That part of the heavily impacted ceiling collapsed into crushed debris.

Nelia saw Akira fall out of shape in the air just like she did. The Akira's eyes looked firmly at Nelia.

Akira was about to kick the floor from the top as Nelia tried to kick the cut ceiling from the bottom. Alpha read Nelia's plan and tried to fight back behind it.

Akira fires a CWH objective assault gun directly upwards just before kicking the floor. The recoil of the shooting is taken with fortified clothing, and the force of the kick released with the physical ability of the fortified clothing raised to its limit is increased. The power of the kick offset the power of the kick unleashed by the battle body.

The floor part that Nelia tried to detach and kick off didn't move because Akira's kick gave her an equal impact from up and down.

Akira watched the rubble slowly fall in a contradictory sense of time as she floated in the air with kicking recoil. The rubble that was Akira's scaffold until earlier. The rubble falls as it cracks into large chunks. The time to the next bullet load of the CWH objective assault gun is so slow.

Akira is visible through Neria on the other side of the rubble. In other words, the rays are blocked.

(What do I do? Shooting won't hit him. Keep it up and it falls down. Slashed on the way down? How do we avoid it? I can't move in the air in the first place. How do I...)

Akira's body moved at will while she felt a moment of thought cruel and long. Alpha reinforced clothing.

Akira turned the CWH objective assault gun straight up again and pulled the trigger the moment she finished loading the next bullet. Akira is blown directly underneath by the recoil of the fire. Then he fell downstairs with the debris between him and Nelia.

Nelia was about to throw a blade in both hands to fight back against Akira in the air. However, Akira and the rubble between them, which had flown vigorously in the recoil of the shooting, were beaten hard and failed.

Akira and Nelia dance through the universe with a recoil slapped on the floor, both of them letting go of their weapons in shock. Two weapons fly in the air. They grab a weapon (or two) as they dance through the universe, regain their posture and land.

Akira and Nelia confront each other with their weapons. Nelia's right hand is gripped by a blade that is only patterned. And the same thing was gripped in Akira's right hand.

Nelia looks at Akira and laughs. Operate the pattern of your right hand with laughter. Liquid metal flows from the pattern again to form a silver body.

"I'm sorry to hear that. What are you gonna do with the pattern alone? You thought if you gripped me, you'd grow up on your own? Even the relics of the old world come with safety devices. I mean, I can't use it without knowing how to disarm it. Just do a little research and you'll see..."

This blade cannot be used on Akira. Nelia thought so and laughed, but when she saw that her body had also grown from Akira's right-hand pattern, she gave her an unexpected look.

"... Oh, that's the thing. You knew that, too. It's not supposed to be as informative as those hunters know. It's a pretty secret piece of information, and even if you're an agent of the city, you don't normally know it.... who are you?

Akira doesn't know. All I know is Alpha. Akira doesn't know why (why) Alpha knows it, and she's not willing to know it. If Akira is asked who she is, Akira is an elephant hunter. It's Alpha who's making that Akira something. And you can't talk about that alpha.

So Akira can't talk about anything. Nelia decided Akira's silence was a refusal to answer.

"Yeah, well, maybe you could tell me your name because of the corner? This is also on the edge of something. I'll remember you."

Answer after Akira gets a little lost.

"... it's Akira"

"Yes. I'm Nelia. Remember that until you die. Well, specifically, maybe, like, 30 seconds."

At the next moment, Nelia bounced up the tip of her sword, which was lowered enough to attach to the floor, as she packed the distance from Akira to slip.

Akira flew it to the side. If I had seen the length of my body and jumped backward, I would have been slashed. Because the bouncing torso was only stretched out for a moment over the original torso.

The orbit of Nelia's blade draws a sharp angle and chases Akira, who flew to the side. Akira tries to prevent it with a blade on her right hand. My body bumps into each other and I break from where Nelia's body collides. The broken body becomes liquid and scatters.

Poke out with a broken body as Nelia stepped in. Akira bends it. The body, which should have been broken, was back to its original length when Nelia finished poking. Akira would have died had she tried to back off and avoid it.

Akira crumbles and squeezes away sharply. Nelia flew away from it. Akira's blade didn't grow.

Akira and Nelia confront each other again. Akira has a cruel and harsh look on her face. Nelia hasn't broken her spare grin.

Talk as Nelia adjusts her time with Akira.

"Normally, I'm dead now. Who are you really? That was a move I knew how to avoid. And it was a move that I understood how to handle a sword. Normal hunters aren't supposed to learn that kind of technology."

Akira does not answer. You can't answer what you don't know.

"Alpha. What's going on with the opportunity to fight back?

"For now, I took it out of a situation where it would strike unilaterally. If it's true, I was going to hit (just) the opponent with a CWH Object Assault Gun's dedicated bullet while he fell, but the way the rubble cracked couldn't be executed right now. I'm afraid I haven't had enough luck. With a little more luck, if only the rays had gone through then, that would have won. '

"My luck is really cute. It makes sense to be in such bad luck. By the way, why doesn't my sword grow?

"Because the amount of liquid metal that makes up the body is low. Perhaps when you attacked Akira from downstairs, you deliberately biased the weapon you used. '

"I gripped the one with the smaller amount of residue because I knew the one with the more people left and I chose that one first? Or just two choices?

"Maybe two choices."

'Right.... what the hell is going on with my luck'

"I'll try my best to deal with it, too."

"Thank you."

Akira will die light when Alpha is no longer able to cope with Akira's misfortune.

Looking at Nelia, who hasn't broken her spare grin, Akira tries to slap (just) her light-hearted mouth to make a slight fool of her opponent for the purpose of lacking calm in order to change the flow, scratch (agar) her feet, and tilt the situation to a slight advantage (to).

"Thirty seconds have passed, okay?

When I heard the understated light mouth, I wondered if the spare smile would break a little. Wouldn't that make Nelia's movements a little cluttered? Akira looked at Nelia with quite a bit of anticipation of it and with a mocking look on her face.

But Nelia is laughing with pleasure.

"You're delighted that the time you remember me has extended. I'm happy."

Akira's expression is convulsive.

(... what kind of thoughts do I get to reply to that?)

Akira receives a slight barometric pressure after hearing an unexpected response. Continue to speak with a look that Nelia seems somewhat happy with.

"Nevertheless, I was surprised to see my attack so far. Good enough to fight me (decent) in the blade as well. You are amazing at that age. Or is it a juvenile prosthetic after all, and the contents are pretty old (suppose)? Well, either is good. By the way, do you have a girlfriend?

Akira answers with a surprising look when she asks a question that doesn't make sense to Nelia.

"What are you talking about?

"If you're not there, why don't you hang out with me? I just broke up with my lover and I'm free now. I prefer strong people. Your strength would be perfect."

"That's a lot of room for jokes like that."

Akira laughed bitterly judging Nelia's words to be a joke. But Nelia laughs and answers.

"Oh, I'm not kidding. I'm serious. I'm being serious. So, what do you say?

Even if Nelia's words are lies (lies) or acts to induce Akira's upset, riding it might improve the situation. Ask if Akira is surprised.

"... does that mean I'll be helpful if I answer that I'm going out with you?

Answer as if Nelia were a light and natural thing.

"No. I'll kill you. That's it, this is this. Is it different for me to kill you and for you to hang out with me?

Nelia is packing a little distance from Akira with a fun laugh. Akira has retreated slightly with a rather drawn look.

Akira manages to have a bitter smiling look on her face when she speaks to someone who vomits words that shake common sense in Akira.

"Either way, do you dictate who you're gonna kill? Are you out of your mind?

"Really? A man can kill even his beloved, who has accompanied him for years. I don't think it's surprising that you could kill a lover you just dated. Besides, make it a tragedy, make it a comedy, it's an experience that rarely (ever) kills each other with a lover, don't you think? That's enough experience to keep your boring life away. It's a one-time life. We need to add color."

Akira somehow thought they weren't lying. I even thought about asking Alpha, but I stopped doing that. Because I didn't want to be assured that I wasn't lying.

Akira gets more barometric pressure on Nelia, who speaks of thoughts that suffer from understanding. The conversation I started trying to lack the calm of my opponent turned out to be counterproductive.

Nelia somehow stuffs her distance from Akira with a pushy smile.

"So, what do you think?

Akira answers with a strong tone in order to scratch out the slightly unexpected fear.

"... say no!

"Yeah. Too bad."

Nelia had an unfortunate grin that wasn't an act. And then pack the distance from Akira all at once and release the slaughter. Akira strikes back at it.

The artifact being used by the two of them is a substitute for easily (yawning) cleaving objects that even withstand the exclusive ammunition of CWH objective assault guns. Selling without a single use would add considerable value.

Relics from the old world are expensive. But if you still use it, if you consume the ingredients, energy, etc. you need to use it, its sales value will go down. Break it and the value will drop even further.

Akira and Nelia continue to devalue their artifacts to take the lives of their opponents. Only by diminishing its value does it continue to devote attention to the opponent's death and life. It was, in a way, an extremely luxurious killing.
