Chapter 127 - Chapter 127: Ebony & Ivory

Approaching the skies above New York, the plane carrying Asagami Fujino and the others was rapidly advancing toward the city.

"Fujino, it's exactly as you said. The navigators at New York airport aren't responding." September took off her headphones and turned to speak to Asagami Fujino beside her.

"It's fine, we'll just land ourselves. New York is already a city besieged by zombies; of course, no one is there." Asagami Fujino smiled, then suddenly thought of something, patted September's shoulder, and said, "September, I'll leave the landing to you. I'll have them get ready."

"Okay." September nodded and began to handle the next steps.

In the center of New York, a building was surrounded by Zombies. Inside the building, those who were still normal humans in this city remained.

In the corridors of the building, everyone had a worried face. The sudden disaster had shattered and destroyed these people's families.

Among the worried people here, a child in a black dress was holding a crystal ball, deep in thought.

This child was Monica, the Monica whose sister's memento had been snatched away by Asagami Fujino.

"How can this be!?" Monica let out a startled cry, but in this corridor where everyone was panicking, her cry didn't attract much attention.

"The future can no longer be seen clearly?"

"How is that possible?"

"It was clearly fine before."

"Could it be her?!"

Sentence after sentence that others couldn't understand came from Monica's mouth. A trace of panic appeared on Monica's face. The future had changed; it had become unpredictable. What should be done?

At the New York airport, Asagami Fujino and the others' plane slowly landed on the runway.

The plane door opened, and Asagami Fujino and the others stepped onto the ground from the plane, holding various weapons.

"Someone's coming." Sakuya looked in one direction, where the sound of dense footsteps was coming from.

"Get ready." Asagami Fujino smiled as she toyed with the twin pistols in her hands, Ebony & Ivory. Unlike the pair held by Dante in Devil May Cry, which were forged by the famous weapon smith Nell Goldstein in the Devil May Cry world, the ones in Asagami Fujino's hands were not Dante's two guns. They merely shared the same name and a similar appearance, but there were huge differences in their abilities.

The Ebony & Ivory in Asagami Fujino's hands could use different energy sources or magic to fire bullets with different effects and power.

For example, if the energy Asagami Fujino injected into Ebony & Ivory was Primal Light, then the bullets fired would be ones that could pierce through heaven and earth. If Primal Darkness was injected, she could fire bullets with powerful dark-attribute explosions. This was somewhat similar to enchanting bullets, but fundamentally different. The Ebony & Ivory in Asagami Fujino's hands could even be injected with the power of a black hole to fire bullets that created miniature black holes. Not only that, even some techniques could be formed into bullets and fired through Ebony & Ivory.

Besides this, this weapon had many other functions. One must know that Asagami Fujino spent a full 100 million points to purchase it.

As for the others' weapons, they were ordinary firearms, just with enchantment effects. Those with the Seventh Sense, like Cang Yue, held an ice blade. Nyarko still had her holy sword of physics, Sakuya used her knives, and Irisviel, because she was pregnant with Illya and about to give birth, stayed at the back, looked after by Little Cang Yue and Cthulhu.

"Tramp, tramp, tramp—"

The footsteps in the distance became clearer and clearer. Everyone could already see the dark shadows advancing toward them from afar, a dense mass heading toward Asagami Fujino and the others.

With pale blue faces and saliva dripping from their mouths, these Zombies seemed quite ordinary compared to those in games; they weren't even covered in blood.

"Bang!"

Asagami Fujino fired. A bullet injected with a trace of the Cosmic Dragon King's Astral Fire Power was fired from the muzzle of Ivory. In Asagami Fujino's vision, this bullet infused with astral fire glowed with a faint blue light, and the blue light on the bullet was even flowing.

"Puff!"

The bullet hit the head of the leading Zombie. Something interesting happened: the Zombie that was hit exploded. The huge explosion even caused the nearby space to rupture, revealing a deep black spatial rift.

All the nearby Zombies died in the explosion just now, and the remaining spatial rift was also harvesting the existence of the Zombies. Any Zombie that walked near the spatial rift would be sucked in and instantly crushed into blood mist by the spatial pressure, without even a sound.

Not just that, there were also deep blue sparks of starlight spreading among the zombies; everywhere the flames passed, everything was reduced to nothingness.

"Just a tiny amount of the starlight's power has this kind of effect. It seems I should experiment more. Anyway, there are plenty of Zombies here."

Asagami Fujino's lips curled into an excited smile. In an instant, several bullets erupted from the muzzles of Ebony & Ivory. Each bullet was a different color, imbued with various attributes like lightning, earth, water, and so on.

Seeing Asagami Fujino open fire, the others were not to be outdone. A real-life Resident Evil scenario wasn't something you encountered every day. April and September held their enchanted firearms and fired madly at the Zombies, muzzles flashing continuously as enchanted bullets poured out.

Sakuya charged directly into the Zombie horde, utilizing her time abilities; every flash of her movement left behind flying daggers that seemed to blot out the sky. Nyarko also charged in with her holy sword of physics, her Cosmic CQC pushed to its limit among the Zombies, each strike to a vital point taking down many of them.

For a time, the entire airport became lively due to the gunshots from Asagami Fujino and the others. Countless Zombies, hearing the noise, swarmed toward the airport like cats smelling fish.

Watching from the rear, Alice's eyes sparkled. If Asagami Fujino hadn't promised to take her to another world to hunt Zombies once Illya was born, Alice would probably be joining the carnage with a gun herself right now.

Not far from Asagami Fujino and the others, in the airport lounge, a blonde girl heard the gunshots echoing through the airport. Her eyes filled with surprise as she wondered who could have arrived.

"Regardless, I have to see if I can escape. A-Jie is still waiting for me!"

With a determined look, the blonde girl moved toward the direction of the gunshots.

Elsewhere, still some distance from New York, a plane was speeding toward the city.
