"Yuma......!"

The ancient city looked feebly, at a little on the sea. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Although there is no way to stop Yuma, who is moving with a spatial transfer, her destination is known. In order to completely break the seal, Yuma should be heading to the prison barrier.

"Hyun-sang, can you catch up with her?" La Phria asked the black-clad wizard.

"It's a pity." Hyunsheng shook his head quietly.

Unlike the witch Yuma, who can manipulate space unconsciously, the space control magic used by the hyunsei requires careful calculation of the coordinates of the transfer destination point. It shouldn't be easy to track whom.

"It's possible, though, to open the door near the prison barrier."

"I see. Well, just do it. The silver-haired princess turned to the ancient city with a bright smile, "Ancient city, you and Yukina go first." Let's deal with the witch over there. ”

However, La Floria ...... "was a little resistant to leaving them in front of the enemy, and the ancient city hesitated."

And the princess shook her head solemnly, "The witch who has obtained the infinite magic power of the Fourth True Ancestor, I and Saya Hua can't deal with it. The only things that can be fought against are Yukina's spear that can neutralize the magic power, the long sword that Chonghua, who is a half-true ancestor, that he just summoned, and the ancient city, you, who are the original fourth true ancestor. ”

"Understood. Thank you. ”

"- Thank you, La Fria." Guru and Yukina each said their thanks, and then looked at Xiansheng.

The black-clad magician nodded wordlessly, spilling water from the small bottle he was holding. The small waterhole formed at his feet reflected the scenery of an unknown place. It seems that that is the destination of the transfer.

If you look closely, there are tiny mantras written in chalk around the waterhole. Although you can't manipulate the space as freely as Yuma and Natsuki, it's enough magic to be amazing.

"Whew!"

Biting his lip with determination, the ancient city jumped into the view reflected on the water. Yukina quickly chased after him.

The virtuous students who stayed behind fell to their knees with all their might. A magic trick as high as space transfer is also quite a burden for a magician like him. But, at least Hyunsheng did his job. After that, I can only ask the ancient city to them.

Chonghua used the ability of his own beast, so as long as he wanted, he could move to any place he wanted, which was completely different from the way they entered the ancient city.

Now Chonghua has broken through the space again and appeared near the prison barrier.

Coincidentally, he landed not far behind Yuma.

Sentogi Yuma is standing on a rusty bridge at one end of the artificial island.

There are still hundreds of meters from here to the prison barrier. The small rocky mountain with the temple is connected to Hyunshin Island by a simple pontoon bridge, and it is a road that shakes like a mirage. The prison barrier has not yet been fully materialized.

Looking at the rocky mountains rising from the sea, Yuma slowly stretched out his right hand.

After that, the space behind her shook, and an apparition of a knight in armor appeared. A faceless knight, Yuma's demon family named "Cang", and the guardian of the witch.

The prison barrier is already close at hand, and after that, all you need to do is use the surging magic of the Fourth True Ancestor to pull it to this side of the world. Then break the last seal, and her mission is complete.

However, before Yuma could order the "Guardian", a cold voice stopped him.

"I suggest you'd better not do that." Chonghua's cold voice sounded, "The guys inside are all extremely dangerous characters, and if they are released, the world will be in chaos." ”

At this time, the other guys also arrived.

"Yuma!"

Turning around, his body, which he had long been accustomed to, was standing there, which was the ancient city in Zaiyouma's body at present. Beside him, stood a girl with a silver spear.

"Have you caught up with me already?" Youma frankly expressed his admiration, "Although it is one step behind this half-true ancestor, it is still very fast." ”

The current ancient city is an ordinary person without any power, and it should not be able to catch up with Yuma, who jumps through space. At least not on his own.

"You've met a good friend, Gucheng."

Don't talk as if it's someone else's business. Aren't you one of them? Gucheng replied with a bitter tilt of his lips. Yuma blinked in surprise and looked back.

"I'm so happy. Do you still see me as a friend? ”

"I'm used to seeing witches or something, so it's nothing at all. Since this guy came to this island, I've gotten to know a lot of strange guys in one go. Guru said, pointing to Yukina beside him.

The girl with the silver spear said, she really didn't expect it, and stared at the ancient city with wide eyes.

Called a strange friend by the world's strongest vampire, it's no surprise that you want to complain. But she had no intention of rejecting the ancient city's words.

"Why would you help someone break down a detention facility?" The ancient city asked Yuma seriously. And Yuma's answer was succinct.

"Because that's what I made it for."

“…… Made? ”

"Are you an artificial man, did you create you to untie yourself?!" Chonghua instantly understood what Youma meant.

"Half-True Ancestor, you are very smart, you guessed right at once. I am an IVF baby that has been accelerated. Ten years ago, it was born at the age of six. The ancient city is just a little bit before I meet you. Whether it's about me becoming a witch or breaking the barrier of Hyun God Island Prison, it was designed by my mother from the beginning. ”

“…… What a sinister intention. Chonghua said in a disgusted tone, "It's disgusting to create an artificial baby to untie yourself!" ”

"Do you know me, and that's in your mother's plan?" Gu Gu asked with a sinister expression.

Yuma shook his head without confusion, "No, the ancient city. This is the only one I have chosen. I told you, all I have is you. There is nothing that can be called my own possession but an encounter with you. ”

"Nothing like that......!"

Stopping the ancient city who was about to refute with his hand, Yuma turned around, "Knowing that you have obtained the power of the Fourth True Ancestor, the LCO changed his plans slightly. Originally, in order to break the seal of the prison barrier, it was expected that about 100,000 residents of Hyunjin Island would be used as a living sacrifice. However, thanks to the blessing of the ancient city, there is no need for that...... Thank you, ancient city. ”

"'Snow Wolf'!" Before Yuma could finish speaking, Yukina let the gun flash and flew over.

That's worthy of the name of the Sword Witch, extraordinary speed. However, before that, Yuma had moved to a place more than ten meters away in the form of a distorted space. Yukina's gun, which lost the target, cut through the air.

The faceless green knight who emerged from behind Yuma squeezed his armor and raised his hands high.

From the gap between the Guardian's hands emerged the glow of gold, accompanied by a roar of dazzling thunder.

I must have noticed the glorious body, and the expressions of Guro and Yukina froze.

A solid mass of magical power, a golden lion entangled in thunder.

"The lion's golden ......!?"

"The Beast of the Fourth True Ancestor!? How could it be ......!? ”

"It's not that we've taken control of the beasts. It's just a distortion of time and space, calling out a part of the beast power that the ancient city used in the past. Only for a moment, for this moment-" Yuma smiled bitterly under the influence of the uncontrollable aftermath of magic.

It's just that she occupies the body of the ancient city, even if she can draw out the magic power possessed by the body itself, she can't summon the beast of the Fourth True Ancestor. The vampire's beast is a summoned beast with an independent will that has been summoned from another world. It's not something that Yuma can summon without their dominance.

However, after combining the infinite magic power of the Fourth True Ancestor with the power of the witch possessed by Yuma, he was able to use this irregular magic. Relying on the memories possessed by the flesh of the ancient city, the moment when he used the beast in the past is connected to the current time and space.

The result is a destructive, searing rush that flows out of the cracks in space.

Even with Yuma's magic and the protection of the "Guardian", it was only a few hundredths of a second that could maintain that technique.

The power of the beast that leaked out destroyed Yuma's technique, causing the space to lose connection. The magic that came from the reverse current scorched Yuma's nerves, and the reaction of the destructive force attacked the "guardian".

When the thunder disappeared in the end, it was Yuma who was on his knees and the injured Blue Knight who remained in place. The rusty armor was cut, shattered, and surrounded by blue-white sparks.

"It is worthy of being the beast of the Fourth True Ancestor...... I can't control my 'cang'...... However, it seems that the sacrifice has paid off. ”

Guru and Yukina stood dumbfounded, listening to Yuma's weak words.

Before their eyes, the prison barrier was burning.

The island, which should have been shaking like a mirage, completely revealed, burning, and crumbling. The pontoon bridge connecting the islands has also materialized, and is being washed by the spray droplets.

The seal of the prison barrier is broken and returned to normal space.

What broke the seal was the attack of the Fourth True Ancestor Beast. With a brutal destructive force that can overwhelm all techniques, he has destroyed the entire barrier covering the entire island. That's violence that can't be called magic.

"Prison enchantment, materialization...... Is it so? Looking at the crumbling Sanctuary, the ancient city groaned.

As the afterglow of the beast's lightning strike dissipated, the shaking of the space disappeared completely. All that remains is the realistic landscape.

"Damn, was the prison barrier still opened?" Because he was afraid that the destructive power of his own beast would destroy the space barrier, Chonghua did not use the beast.

But it was precisely because of this that Chonghua let Yuma destroy the enchantment.

There, there is no doubt that it is part of Hyunshin Island, an artificial island that mimics the ancient rock mountain.

"But...... That's ......"

Through the cracks in the ruined walls, the interior of the sanctuary can be seen.

All that's there is nothing but the hole. The sanctuary is completely hollow. Only the empty space is expanding. That's right, it's simply full of voids.

"Even if the barrier disappears, it doesn't mean that the prison is liberated, right...... But there it was. ”

Scattered with fragments of the wounded green knight, Yuma approached the Sanctuary.

Her words, as if she had known what was inside the Sanctuary in the first place, confused the ancient city.

Without carelessly setting up the gun, Yukina looked at Yuma's defenseless back.

The current Yuma no longer has the physical strength to be able to use large-scale magic tricks. Should you attack her even so, Yukina seems to be distressed because she can't judge.

Finally Yuma stopped. Spotting something in front of her gaze, Gurujo and Yukina held their breath.

"Impossible...... Why would you ...... in such a place?"

It was a chair that was placed there.

In the empty hall of the sanctuary sat a chair, a luxurious armchair covered in velvet. Sitting with her eyes closed as if she was asleep was a woman.

It was a beautiful and immature witch who looked like a doll.

"Why...... ...... Sister Yue? Chonghua muttered even more distractedly.

"It's glorious to be able to see you, the key to the prison barrier, the 'Witch of the Void'."

Facing Nangong Nayue, who continued to sleep, Youma bowed humbly.
