The other side......

Central Stone Gate. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

A magic circle depicted in blood, and witches standing on the left and right sides.

There was also a young man in a black dress standing in the center of the magic circle.

It was a vampire-style tuxedo, a costume suit that Nagisa had prepared for the ancient city.

"It's so early, ancient city. The young man who turned around called out the name of the ancient city. It was an ordinary-looking high school student who could be seen everywhere you went. The only characteristic that can be called a characteristic is that the color of the bangs is as white as if it is illuminated by the moonlight—standing there is the flesh of the ancient city.

"You've been like this since before. I don't know anything, but I will appear in an important place. ”

"Youma...... You ......" stared at his own body, and the ancient city showed a distressed look.

Yuma held a magic book in her hand. The vast amount of magic that flowed from her fingertips drove the magic book, causing space to distort. This fact made the ancient city despair.

Until the confrontation like now.,Sure enough, there's still somewhere in my heart praying.,Yuma is just a childhood sweetheart.,It has nothing to do with this incident.,It's just the victim who was involved.。

However, now it is finally realized.

She really took possession of the body of the ancient city.

She was the mastermind of the incident.

"Don't worry, this body will be returned to you soon. So, can you wait a minute? I'm almost there. As if he cared about the ancient city, Yuma smiled with a gentle expression.

"Found ...... What the hell is going on......?"

"It's my mother. Although I haven't met once since birth. ”

The chaos in the ancient city of "Mother ......" has become more intense.

The young Yuma lived separately from his mother, and he still remembered this from the ancient city.

If Yuma is a witch, it's not surprising that her mother is also a witch. The possibility of Yuma's mother on Hyunjin Island in this "Demon Special Zone" is also very high.

The ancient city can still be understood here. However, this can only be understood.

Just to meet my mother, there shouldn't be any need to cause an incident of this magnitude.

In order to ask Yuma this question, the ancient city stepped into the magic circle. As if to stop him, a smiling voice came, a familiar tone of sarcasm.

"—That's it, ancient city. Could you please stop approaching her?"

"Why are you ...... here!?" the ancient city turned his gaze in the direction of the sound in amazement.

Standing there was a young nobleman with blond hair and blue eyes. He leaned his back against the base of the tower, revealing a useless and refreshing smile.

"Ah, the ancient city. I haven't seen it in a while, but it's become cute. ”

The sound of Vatora licking the tongue sent chills through the ancient city.

Not because the opponent is a vampire of the "old generation". For the ancient city, this young nobleman was, in a sense, an even more dangerous opponent than the First True Ancestor, the "Forgotten War King". Anyway, this is a character who dedicates his love to the ancient city of men, which is incomprehensible. Now that he is in Youma's body, what he looks like in his eyes is terrifying just thinking about it.

Therefore, the ancient city changed the topic in a panic, "Are you also involved in this riot!?"

"No, no, I'm just waiting here...... Wait for them to open the prison barrier. ”

"Prison Barrier ......!?" the unexpected words that came out of Wattola's mouth made the ancient city whisper in surprise.

The legend of the prison enchantment has also been heard in the ancient city. It was the Phantom Prison, the Ghost Detention Center, which sealed the vicious demonic offenders. And where it is, and whether it actually exists, no one knows.

It is a place where the souls of the slain criminals wander around without becoming Buddhas, or places with nicknames such as the Temple of the Evil God that sank to the bottom of the sea. It is one of the famous urban legends that are widely spread in Hyunshin City.

"Isn't that kind of thing just a legend......!?"

"Nope. The prison barrier is created by using the power of the dragon veins flowing in the 'Demon Special Zone', and it is an artificial otherworld. Its presence is invisible. Even the council that created it didn't know where it was. However, it does exist, and it's somewhere in this Hyun God City. ”

"Ah, this distortion of space...... It's just to find the location of the prison barrier......"

In order to find out what exists in the distorted space, Yuma distorted the space of the entire Hyun God City. It's like using a pencil to blacken out the handwriting left on sticky notes, and that's how she finds the prison barrier.

"By the way, to unlock the seal of the prison barrier, you need excellent spatial mastery and a huge amount of magic that can surpass the dragon vein. ”

After listening to Wattola's explanation, the ancient city once again shifted his gaze to Yuma, who was standing there speechlessly.

Now, I feel as if I can understand what she is saying.

Yuma is a witch who is good at space control. However, no matter how much she accepted the demon's protection, she didn't have the magic power to override the dragon vein. The only one who has that kind of strength is the true ancestor of the vampires who are treated as natural disasters - that is, the ancient city.

The ancient city, which obtained the power of the Fourth True Ancestor through an accidental form, is still an incomplete existence as a vampire. There is almost no special ability as a demon, and even the beasts that inhabit the body are only three-body with great difficulty. However, the flesh of the ancient city does have extraordinary magical powers.

Although it was a magic power that the ancient city was completely uncontrollable and wasted, if Yuma had knowledge of magic, he should be able to manipulate it. Therefore, Youma needs the body of the ancient city.

"That's right...... What's going on. ”

Yuma said that she was looking for her mother, which is why she had to break the seal of the prison barrier. Because her mother is in the prison barrier.

"Stop!" the loud shouts exploded in the air, and Chonghua, who flew from the sky, shouted angrily, "That can't be opened!"

“…… Heh, Demitrue Ancestor, do you think you can stop the opening of the prison barrier with those forged fakes of yours?" Yuma chuckled.

"Damn...... You can't release the beast here—" Chonghua scolded angrily.

A pure-blooded witch born to a mother who was sealed as a demon guide criminal—this is the body of Sento Mu Yuma.

However, the mother who asked her daughter to break the prison really can't make people think that she is a normal human being. And the offender in the prison enchantment is probably not just Yuma's mother.

"I'm really looking forward to it...... The magic criminals who had to be sealed in the labyrinth of another world. What if those guys are liberated into this city together? Well, don't worry. Those who escaped from prison, I will take responsibility and arrest them again. Vatora said in a flirtatious tone.

"Idiot, you ——! your sister, how can you rest assured!" the ancient city Qingjin roared angrily.

Wattola honestly watched from the sidelines as Yuma's reason for their actions was now understood.

As a battle maniac, Wattola only waits for the demon criminals to be liberated because he wants to fight.

After saying what he wanted to say, the mist that turned into gold disappeared. Unlike the ancient city, he is a complete vampire, and can move anywhere else like that.

But now is not the time to deal with the kind of man who only causes trouble.

In order to liberate the prison barrier, Yuma needs the body of the ancient city. Then if Gu Cheng retrieves his body, he should be able to stop her-

Thinking so, the ancient city glared at Yuma.

And then—

"-Senior!Stand down!" Yukina called out to the ancient city in a high-pitched voice. The ancient city suddenly looked up, and the view was filled with huge tentacles.

In order to seal the actions of the ancient city, the witches ordered the "guardians" to bind him.

“——！？”

The attacking tentacles were swept away by Yukina with a gun. However, the tentacles did not stop. On the contrary, tentacles kept appearing, putting a lot of pressure on them in the ancient city.

Manipulating the tentacles are the two witches standing to the left and right of Yuma. In contrast to Yuma, who has a serene attitude, their expressions are distorted by the excitement of violence and the joy of ravage. It was the two of them who shot down the helicopter of the SAR Garrison and caused huge damage to the urban area.

"Dark and crimson witch sisters...... could it be the ...... of 'Ashdowne's tragedy!?" Yukina's eyebrows furrowed at noticing the techniques used by the two.

Somehow, the witch sister let out a loud mock with satisfaction, "I see...... No wonder it can hurt our 'guardian', the little girl seems to have done her homework beforehand. ”

"—I guess it's a shrine maiden or something. What are you going to do, sister?"

Touching the magic book in her hand, the scarlet witch asked her sister's intentions. The black witch shrugged her shoulders exaggeratedly as if she were acting.

"If I could, I would like to tear off my hands and feet, cut open my stomach, and use it as a sacrifice for our ritual, but I can't let anything happen to the body of the 'Witch of the Firmament'...... Before you find it, play with them. ”

"It's a pity. It would be perfect if it could be turned into a corpse, obviously a beautiful girl-"

The Book of Magic emits an ominous glow, and the Guardian's attacks become more intense.

"Goo!"

"-Ji Hiiragi!?"

Unable to resist the swarm of tentacles that pounced, Yukina slowly retreated. Yukina's spear can neutralize the defensive barrier on the "Guardian", but it cannot defend against the quality of the materialized monster.

"Don't think about it, oath—" Chonghua grasped the sword in both hands, "Excalibur!"

The golden glow instantly engulfed the "Guardian", but—

The tentacles regenerated all at once, and despite being hit by the Excalibur of the Oath of Victory, the thing quickly regenerated.

"Damn, what the hell is that?!" Chonghua gritted his teeth as he looked at the tentacle group, his eyes uncontrollably extending out of his second pupil.

"Cut, Xuanyuan Hao is right. The sword of victory of the oath in Chonghua's hand turned into dust, and then turned into a nugget of gold.

"This isn't my sword—" Chonghua looked at Yukina, "Yukina, please, twenty seconds is enough." ”

"No problem, Nangong senior, come on!" Yukina nodded and encouraged Chonghua.

"Ah, of course. Chonghua bit his finger, blood flowed into his mouth, and blue scales appeared next to Chonghua's eyes again.

"Hum-" The pale blue light lit up, and an inscription slowly appeared on Chonghua's right hand.

Sword-like marking......
