……

[[Amra's Protection]...... Awakening Confirmation ......】

……

In a daze, Kuya tried to search her surroundings for the source of the sound, but she couldn't see anything but the blinding lightning.

With a bitter smile in her heart, a strong sense of exhaustion made her fall into a deep sleep......

……

[Is it really good to sleep like this?] 】

A voice that could not distinguish between man and woman sounded abruptly in Kuya's mind, and at the same time, a cool breath made her consciousness clearer.

[Hmm...... If you fall asleep, not only will you die, but the world will soon be ruined. 】

The cacophony of the void sounded again, but surprisingly it didn't sound so stiff.

Kuya closed her eyes forcefully, then looked around again.

But the next second she saw the surrounding scene, the whole person froze in place......

World......

It's still......

A qiē and a qiē are all frozen in a certain moment......

Whether it was the terrifying countless thunderbolts, or the night star that maintained a roar in the center of the thunder, it seemed as if the pause button had been pressed at this moment......

After a moment, Kuya turned her head slightly stiffly, looking straight ahead.

I saw a phantom in the shape of a little girl floating not far away, and the seven wings that were not symmetrical at all trembled slightly behind it.

Its eyes were full of energy, and it always had a smile on its face......

[Nice to meet you, my host ......]

“……”

[I am a projection of [Amra's Protector]. I'd prefer you to call me Mom if you can. 】

“……”

Kuya looked at Amra in a daze, unable to react for a long time......

Amra smiled at her, then turned to look at Sindo, who was also still in the distance.

After a moment of silence, its eyes darkened slightly......

[You're awake too...... Have you really found a host that can withstand [the power of the world]? 】

After a pause, Amla looked back at Kuya, who was still in a daze.

[So...... My host, what are you going to do? 】

"Uh......"

Hearing Amra's call to herself, Kuya recovered from her stupor.

[Our company is in charge of [destiny]...... That being said, the cost of any change [of fate] that comes with me being ...... No one can afford it at all. 】

“……”

[Even so, I can at least try to guide the host to do what you want...... Of course, the premise is that you don't have evil thoughts. 】

“……”

[So...... Do you want to run away now? 】

“！”

Kuya's eyes dilated, and blood oozed from her clenched lips.

She held back the sharp pain that kept coming from her body, and trembled to her feet.

【……】

Under Amla's silent gaze, Kuya stood up again with her broken staff.

Her breathing was extremely difficult, and the small half of her hair, which had already been dyed red, made her look even more wolfish.

"I—I don't understand what you're talking about...... But、But if you really have the strength,,Please share some ...... with me."

【……】

"I—I want to try to wake up Xiaoxing!"

【……】

"I ......"

"I'm going to die.] 】

Amla's calm words struck Kuya like a lightning strike......

It didn't pay much attention to Kuya's expression, but moved slowly to her side.

[Although I can't see the fate of the other protectors and their hosts...... But it's terrifying for Sindo to go on a rampage......]

“……”

[Especially its host, the person who can withstand the [power of the world] may really be able to destroy the world lightly.] 】

“……”

[So ......]

"I—I see."

Kuya's hand holding the staff lowered slightly, and the whole person gradually became relaxed.

She and Amra in front of her looked at each other quietly, but the smile on their faces was a little bitter......

"Just, as you say......"

……

"Let's get started......"

……

At this moment......

The depths of the Night Star's consciousness......

……

Nightstar pushed Yuya away from his arms, covering the side of his head with one hand, his expression twisted by the excessive pain.

Shaking his head desperately, Nightstar's body began to shake slightly.

"Treat her like you? Hehe...... What are you talking nonsense again? ”

【……】

"Are you too self-righteous? Or do you think I'm going to be stupid enough to remember some idiot Madonna?! ”

【……】

"Hahaha! Are you done with your words? When you're done, get out! Don't get in my way here......"

【……】

Yuya remained silent, her hands behind her back, and her expression calmly stared at the young man who kept roaring at her.

“……”

Gradually, Nightstar closed his mouth, and the hideous expression on his face calmed down a little.

The two remained silent in a strange atmosphere until Nightstar sat down on his own.

“…… That's right, I might have been really stupid enough to overlap her with the figure of some idiot Madonna. ”

【……】

“…… That guy must have found out, too. It's just that her personality is worse than yours, so she keeps acting like she doesn't know. ”

【……】

"You're right, it's really unfair to her that I'm doing this...... No one in this world wants to be a substitute for someone, and they don't want to be used as a substitute for someone else. ”

【……】

Yuya still didn't speak, but sat down beside Nightstar again.

She looked up silently, staring above the space that seemed to be always occupied by darkness.

"I really don't know what to do anymore......"

【……】

"There seems to be a glimmer of hope for the unknown...... It's simply frightening than outright despair. ”

【……】

"If I have to face the abyss of despair after the hope is shattered, it is better to let myself die a happy death now......"

【Night Star ......】

Yuya slowly interrupted Nightstar, she always kept her head up, and there seemed to be a smile on her lips......

“？”

Nightstar frowned slightly, and began to look up along Yuya's line of sight......

……！！！！！

……

Above the ruins of the arena, the roar of the Night Star became more and more frenzied, and a huge pit had formed on the ground centered around him, and the dust and rubble around him gradually drifted upward......

Opposite to Nightstar's crazy appearance was Sindo behind him.

Aside from covering the night star's face with both hands, the rest of its movements had stopped......

【……】

Sindor locked Kuya's place with a vacant gaze......

I saw a strange spatial distortion wave enveloping the small area, and the scene in the area became no longer visible!

The thunderbolts that kept falling from the sky seemed to have subconsciously avoided that place, and a terrifying whirlpool of thunder and lightning quickly formed around it......

Suddenly, a burst of coercion suddenly came over Nightstar, and he was caught off guard and almost fell to his knees!

"Goo......

After an uncomfortable sound in his throat, Nightstar jerked his head to look at the place where Sindor had been paying attention.

However, what greeted him was an incomparably powerful wave of magical power!

[Apocalyptic level. [Vanishing Hourglass]"

A spell that could not be drowned out by the thunder suddenly sounded, and a giant hourglass phantom enveloped Nightstar and Sindor in an instant.

In the next second, the night star and Sindo's figure disappeared in place instantly!

At the same time, Kuya gradually emerged from the unsighted area......

Above her, a little girl-like apparition glowed softly, and the seven asymmetrical wings behind it looked awkward......

"Poof!"

Kuya spurted out a mouthful of blood, her legs shaking too much to support her body anymore.

But at the moment when she was about to fall, the staff in her hand once again shone brightly.

[[Teleport]]

"Roar!"

At the same time as the spell recited by the Void Voice, there was a terrible roar!

With the sound of multiple glass shattering, the disappearing figure of the night star actually reappeared in place!

But before he could vent his anger, a girl who looked a little thin came into his eyes......

[Eightfold superimpose.] [Blocked Hourglass]]

The phantom behind the girl spoke faintly, and a wave of magic power that was stronger than ever before almost locked the Night Star's movements completely!

The girl spurted out a mouthful of blood again, and her eyes had begun to drift......

With a heavy pace, she tried her best to control her swaying body and continue to approach the night star......

"Click......

The sound of glass shattering resounded around the night star, and almost in the next moment he had regained his freedom of movement!

With a roar, Nightstar's right hand, which was bent into a claw, mercilessly grabbed at the girl not far away!

……

[Host, your body can no longer support the next use of magic......]

I—I know...... It's okay......

【…… All right...... Good luck. 】

Well......

……

Gazing calmly at Sindo above behind the night star, Amra's seven wings spread violently.

【[Blocked Hourglass]】

“！！！”

A large amount of magic energy was poured into Kuya's body from the pendant, and then transformed into powerful magic through Amla, and this crazy flow of magic almost caused Kuya to faint directly.

Kuya's pupils dilated, and her body began to lean forward......

Although her consciousness began to blur, she staggered forward with the momentum of falling......

"Click"

Two distinct shattering sounds rang out, and the shattered phantom of space mixed with the powder of the wreckage of the staff in Kuya's hand gradually dissipated......

Kuya almost threw herself into Nightstar's arms, her forehead pressed against Nightstar's chest due to the height difference between the two sides......

Trembling as she pulled out a small box that had been squashed, Kuya feebly opened it.

I saw that all the snacks that were originally contained in them had turned into crumbs......

"I, I ......"

Kuya's voice trembled a little, and tears slid down her cheeks with blood......

"I've worked really hard......"
