Takumi walked forward with a smile. Westcott's pupils shrank in shock.
"Dear pure-blooded sorcerer, please hand over your knowledge."
As Takumi's words fell, a powerful force invaded Westcott's mind. Takumi had no intention of being gentle.
The more brutal, the better.
Chapter 385: Did I Come at the Wrong Time?
When Takumi performed that blunt and forceful operation, he directly turned Westcott into a fool.
For someone like him, Takumi naturally wouldn't treat him as gently as he would a girl. He forcibly invaded the man's mind and extracted all the knowledge he needed. At the same time, he also clearly saw just how disgusting this guy truly was.
After extracting the necessary memories, Takumi didn't bother with him anymore. This guy was beyond saving now and could only live as a fool.
Having dealt with Westcott, Takumi turned his gaze toward Ellen.
"The world's strongest magician, huh? Not bad. I'll take her too."
She was also a pureblood sorcerer. Now, there were only four left in the world. One of them was already a fool, so he didn't count. His knowledge had been completely extracted by Takumi.
The remaining two were Elliot Baldwin Woodman and Karen Nora Mathers who also happened to be Ellen's sister. Apart from these few, there were no other pureblood sorcerers in the world.
For this reason, Ellen was extremely valuable. He could send her back for research.
Who knows what discoveries might come from studying her?
Bloodlines were truly mysterious. Mbius was particularly fond of studying bloodlines and had gathered the blood of many different races for experimentation.
So wasn't this just the perfect opportunity?
With that thought in mind, Takumi tossed Ellen into the imaginary space and left with Kurumi. As for the now-disabled Westcott, he was on his own. Even if Mio Takamiya herself came, she wouldn't be able to bring him back.
"Next target, let's go find Miku. Then we'll head to the Neighboring World."
Hearing this, Kurumi nodded. She was just following Takumi's lead now. Wherever he went, she would follow.
The two of them left DEM and returned to Tenguu City.
Back there, Takumi locked onto Yuzuru Miku's location. At this moment, Miku was attending an event, playfully teasing her makeup artist in the dressing room.
"Come to my room tonight."
Miku looked excitedly at her makeup artist. The new girl was just too cute she was dying to tease her.
The poor makeup artist blushed furiously but still nodded in agreement.
At that moment, a spatial rift suddenly opened, and Takumi and Kurumi stepped out of it.
"Aha~! Seems like we came at a bad time."
Takumi looked around the room drenched in yuri energy and chuckled.
Wow, what a scene! A live girl-on-girl situation.
"Who are you?!"
Startled by the sudden intruders, Miku turned her head sharply. The moment she laid eyes on Takumi, her expression filled with disgust.
"What a filthy man!!"
She cursed angrily.
Hearing that, Takumi felt speechless.
"Did I eat your family's rice or something?!"
This was really frustrating. Miku's brain wiring was clearly off.
"Ala ala~!"
Kurumi couldn't help but burst out laughing at Miku's reaction.
So she straight-up called him a filthy man? Just how much did she hate men?
Kurumi decided she was going to enjoy watching this unfold.
However, Takumi had no intention of arguing with Miku. He glanced casually at the makeup artist, and in the next moment, she collapsed onto the ground, unconscious. All her memories during Takumi's visit were erased.
After finishing that, Takumi said calmly, "Come with me."
And without waiting for her response, he opened a spatial passage and swallowed her up.
"Hey"
Before she could finish speaking, Miku was gone.
So much for her being the War Songstress. War my ass.
Seeing her disappear, Kurumi was speechless.
"Done! Now let's head to the Neighboring World. But I'll need you to go inside first. I'm still not sure what's over there. If I bring you along, Mio Takamiya might detect it immediately."
Hearing this, Kurumi nodded. She had no objections. She could be released later anyway.
With that in mind, Takumi opened a spatial passage and let Kurumi enter first.
Kurumi didn't hesitate and entered directly. Then, Takumi started heading to the Neighboring World.
The entire Neighboring World was Mio Takamiya's Angel Realm. It was better to be cautious.
Although she wasn't paying much attention to the inside at the moment, that damned mosaic might still be watching.
If Takumi went in alone, he could be stealthy.
With that thought, Takumi disappeared from his original location.
The Neighboring World was tied to this one just located in a different space. For someone with mastery over space like Takumi, this was child's play.
He easily entered the Neighboring World and saw spatial nodes arranged in a specific formation.
It was the structure of the Tree of Life from Kabbalah.
Among them, Takumi could sense the presence of Spirit Crystals, as well as Mio Takamiya's power. At the core was Reincarnation Paradise, and Takumi sensed it immediately.
Without delay, he got to work starting by copying the core of the Neighboring World.
It wasn't an exaggeration to say Mio Takamiya was the aggregate of all magical power in this world. After all, she was created by magicians drawing global magical energy into a spiritual vein using Spirit Technique.
The structure of the Neighboring World corresponded to ten Spirit Crystals, with connections between the spaces.
And there were battles happening inside specifically, another version of Tohka from a parallel world.
Arriving here, Takumi immediately grasped the situation. He began copying the Hall of Reincarnation. While he was at it, he also recovered the sleeping Tohka and Yoshino, transferring them to Kurumi.
Oddly enough, his actions didn't stir up any big reaction. It seemed no one was paying attention here.
After waiting a bit and confirming there were no unusual movements, Takumi began copying the entire space and everything inside it.
With complete control over the world's systems, Takumi could even create another Mio Takamiya if he wanted.
As he continued duplicating the entire Neighboring World, gradually there were no more secrets in his eyes.
Once everything was copied, Takumi began searching for the White Queen Kurumi's inverse self.
After locking on to her location, he headed straight to that space.
The sky in that area looked illusory. Below was a forest and some houses.
And there sat the White Queen, sipping tea in her courtyard.
Seeing this scene, Takumi's lips curled into a smirk. He immediately opened the group chat and took a picture to post.
Chapter 386: Goodbye to You
Takumi: @Tokisaki Kurumi, quick, look at your bestiedoesn't she look like a queen?
Kurumi, who was currently in Takumi's imaginary space, was momentarily stunned when she saw this sudden message. When she recognized the all-white figure in the photo, she instantly perked up.
Tokisaki Kurumi: Can I come out now?
Seeing her message, Takumi smiled. He didn't reply further in the group chat but instead opened the portal and let Kurumi out.
The moment Kurumi emerged, Yamadera Sawa immediately noticed. Her abilities were space-based, making her hypersensitive to any spatial fluctuations. Although she hadn't noticed Takumi's arrival, she definitely noticed him opening a spatial rift.
Of course, that was intentional on Takumi's partafter all, he had opened his imaginary space right in front of her.
When Yamadera Sawa saw Kurumi, the teacup in her hand fell to the ground.
"Sawa~!"
Kurumi stared at her with a complex expression.
"Sanzan!"
Sawa looked at Kurumi in utter shock. Kurumi wasted no time and lunged at her, knocking her right off her chair.
"This is great!! It's really great."
Tears streamed down Kurumi's face. It was rare to see her so emotional.
"You... how did you get here?"
Although overwhelmed with emotion, Sawa quickly regained her composure. How did Kurumi end up here?
"If I didn't come, how would I ever find you?"
If it hadn't been for Takumi, she might have never learned that Sawa was still alive.
"Alright, enough talk for now. Let's go into my imaginary space first. Once we're back, I'll help resolve what's going on with her."
With that, Takumi opened the portal again and gestured for them to enter. Sawa wasn't going to die anytime soon.
Hearing Takumi's words, Kurumi nodded. But Sawa wasn't too keen on the idea. Just as she was about to protest, Kurumi spoke up first.
"Come with me. I'll explain later."
Sawa paused but didn't argue. She followed Kurumi into the imaginary space.
After storing the two of them, Takumi resumed exploring the Realm Border, checking every location that could be investigated.
Most notably, the First Material Point.
Inside, there was a Spirit Crystal.
Takumi was a bit surprised to sense it. She didn't carry it on her person?
Then again, it made sense. Carrying it around was cumbersome, so she must have stored it here for convenience.
Lucky for Takumi.
But if he took the Spirit Crystal, Mio Takamiya would likely know immediately.
Thinking this, Takumi smiled. So what if she did?
It wasn't a big deal.
With that mindset, he acted decisively.
He had already taken everyone he needed. The rest was irrelevant.
Takumi arrived at the location of the First Material Point Crown. After scanning the area, he wasted no time retrieving the Spirit Crystal.
The moment he took it, Mio Takamiya, who was outside, sensed it immediately.
Of course she wouldhow could she not know her own Spirit Crystal had been disturbed?
Enraged, she vanished from her spot without saying a word. Thankfully, no one was around her at that time.
It was night, and she was in her room.
When Mio returned to the Realm Border, the entire space came alive, reacting to her presence. She instantly locked onto Takumi's location.
Without hesitation, the Realm Border launched an all-out attack on Takumi.
Faced with this aggressive offensive, Takumi didn't flinch.
He simply vanished from the Realm Border and returned to the real world.
Mio followed closely behind.
"Who are you? Return what you took!!"
Mio glared at Takumi, face full of rage.
"There's no way I'm giving it back. Hmm, why don't you take a moment to sense how many Spirits are still left in this world?"
Takumi's lips curled into a smirk.
Mio froze.
She instinctively checked.
And when she realized that aside from Kotori Itsuka, all the other Spirits had disappeared, her expression grew even darker.
Takumi smiled brightly.
"Well then, let's meet again sometime."
"Bye-bye~!"
As soon as he said that, Mio felt a searing pain in her head. The next second, she lost consciousness.
With that done, Takumi vanished againthis time, heading for the Itsuka household in Tenguu City.
He appeared silently beside Kotori, who was fast asleep.
Looking at her, Takumi debated briefly before deciding not to take her with him. Instead, he removed the Spirit Crystal from within her.
Once done, he went to check on Shiori Itsuka.
Seeing the sleeping beauty, Takumi gave a mental thumbs-up. Shiori really was stunning.
He examined her briefly and sensed Kotori's other power lingering inside her.
But Takumi wasn't particularly interested in that.
With the Spirit Crystal already in hand, he didn't need the residual energy inside her.
He had only come to see her.
After admiring her for a moment, he disappeared.
However, the moment he vanished, Shiori opened her drowsy eyes.
But soon drifted back to sleep.
Takumi didn't head home right away. Instead, he went to Origami's house.
Origami Tobiichi hadn't gone to sleep yet. The moment she saw Takumi appear out of nowhere, she immediately reached under her pillow and aimed a gun at him.
"Do you want to resurrect your parents?"
Takumi didn't seem fazed. Instead, he asked her directly.
Origami was stunned.
"Re... resurrect?"
"Who are you?"
Though shocked, Origami remained cautious. She wasn't swayed by Takumi's words.
"Who I am doesn't matter."
"What matters isI can bring your parents back to life!!"
"So? Do you want them resurrected?"
Takumi looked at her with a calm, smiling face.
Origami stared back, unblinking.
"What do you want me to do?"
There's no such thing as a free lunch. She didn't believe this came without a price.
Takumi chuckled.
"Come with me. I can resurrect your parents now. Then, your whole family can leave this world with me."
Origami's eyes widened.
"Leave this world?"
That was a lot to process.
This handsome guy standing before her... wasn't from this world?
Chapter 387: Dare to Move and Ill Blow Her Head Off
Takumi's sudden appearance startled Origami.
However, his words stirred something deep within her. If she could resurrect her parents, then following Takumi and leaving this worldso what?
Thinking of this, Origami stared at Takumi intently.
"If you can really bring my parents back to life, then I'll go with you."
Hearing this, Takumi nodded.
"Deal. Then, bring me some of your parents' personal belongings."
He didn't waste time. The sooner he finished this, the sooner he could go home and sleep.
Origami quickly ran to a cabinet and rummaged through it. Not long after, she pulled out two old items.
"Will these do?"
Takumi glanced at them, then nodded.
"Yes. Place them on the ground. Then, step back a bit."
Hearing this, Origami quickly did as instructed.
Without saying another word, Takumi activated a spellSoul Summoning.
It summoned the souls of the deceased. From there, resurrection would be easy.
For Takumi, reviving someone was a simple task.
As the magic circle activated, Origami couldn't help but widen her eyes. Soon, two figures appeared within the circle.
Seeing the two of them, Origami was overwhelmed with joy. She covered her mouth, her eyes brimming with tears.
Soon after, Takumi began the resurrection spell, bringing the two back to life.
With the souls present, resurrection was simple.
When Origami saw her parents truly standing before her, she was already crying uncontrollably.
"Dad, Mom!!"
Hearing Origami's voice, her parents looked around, puzzled. They stared at their daughter, who had suddenly grown up.
They were clearly stunned.
