"Hello~" With the complete end of the Baalzebub incident, everyone also left the vicinity of the battlefield separately, and just when Medusa, who left alone, fell into thought, the hippie smiling Takikawa Sora suddenly appeared in front of her.

"I don't think I've been looking for you, have I?" Medusa frowned at him.

"Can't I come over if you don't call me, Misa-chan?" Takikawa Sora wanted to put his hand on Medusa's shoulder.

"I told you, don't call me that!" Medusa looked cold and slapped his palm away.

"Don't be so cold~" Takikawa spread his hands.

"I don't have time to pay attention to you." Medusa said lightly.

"That's a pity, but now is not the time to search for Gate~" Takikawa Sora smiled, "But forget it, since you're not interested, I'll go first!" ”

"Stop, what the hell are you trying to say?"

"Oh? Do you want to know? But aren't you unavailable? Takikawa kicked repeatedly on the verge of death.

"Are you kidding me!" Medusa said coldly.

"Ahh Takikawa Sora smiled and waved his hand repeatedly, "It's Yugo's business!" ”

"Yugo?" Medusa was stunned for a moment, and it took a long time to remember that this was Phoenix's name.

Soon after, Medusa, who had heard some news from Sora Takigawa, returned to their temporary base and saw Fugi Kana, who had changed back to Phantom, and in a flash of thought, she told the story of Phoenix in order to test the sage.

"Phoenix?" The sage stood with his hands in his hands and listened to Medusa's report.

"Yes, his magic has increased again after his resurrection, and now he is desperate to fight, and is likely to act on his own." Medusa continued.

"Well......

"What to do?" Medusa asked.

"You can't let him act recklessly and lead to the loss of an important gate, you go and stop him!"

"What if you can't stop it?"

"Then get rid of him!" The sage waved his hand absentmindedly.

Medusa respectfully retired on the surface, but the suspicion in her heart grew heavier and heavier.

The sage had previously said that every Phantom was crucial in order to launch the Witch Night Feast, and she kept going to make Gate desperate in order to give birth to a new Phantom.

But with the support of the white magician, the magician's side is getting stronger and stronger, and more and more phantoms are dying, and now the number of phantoms has not increased but decreased.

And in this case, the sage doesn't care about a cadre-level phantom like Phoenix, what does he want to do?

While thinking about it in her heart, Medusa soon found Phoenix in an abandoned factory, and Rinko Gate, who he used as bait, was unconscious.

Because Takikawa said that he would help him attract the magician who wore the ring, he had to wait here honestly first.

But he didn't expect that the dragon me, a magician, hadn't come yet, and his boss Medusa had come over first.

"Found you." Medusa slowly walked into the factory.

"What are you doing here?" Phoenix saw that it was Medusa and turned around impatiently.

"I should have asked you that, right?" Medusa asked rhetorically.

"Of course I'm going to fight the ringed magician to the death!" Phoenix made no secret of his purpose.

"Did I give such an order?"

"I won't follow anyone's orders again!" Phoenix fearlessly declared.

"Have you forgotten that the will of the sage is absolutely not allowed to be violated!" Medusa said coldly, as always, but she really thought so before, and now it was basically just words.

"Long-winded!" Phoenix was furious, "I can do whatever I want!" ”

"Then there is no way!" Medusa said coldly, "The sage has an order, let me execute you!" ”

"I'm so sorry, I'm immortal!" Phoenix shot back.

“……”

The two were silent for a moment, and the next moment they turned into Phantom form at the same time, and took out their weapons and attacked each other.

"Bell—"

"Your immortal body is nothing to me, you should understand!" Under the interweaving of the snake staff and the great sword, Medusa felt that Phoenix's magic power had been greatly improved, and now it was not under her, and she was shocked while still remaining silent on the surface.

"Oh, then you can try it!" Phoenix replied without flinching.

The two fought again, but even if the magic power was almost the same as Medusa, and even with the blessing of magic, the pure strength surpassed Medusa, but it was still the same problem, and the lack of skill could not be made up for by such a small advantage.

So soon the berserker Phoenix was suppressed by a mage of Medusa in melee combat, and after seizing a gap, Medusa's snake hair instantly extended out, tying him up strongly.

"Hmph, farewell, Phoenix!" Medusa's eyes quickly lit up with a dazzling purple light, and Phoenix, who was staring at her, was instantly petrified and turned into a dead sculpture.

For the immortal Phoenix, Medusa, who has the ability to seal him with petrification is simply his natural nemesis, so he has always been crushed by Medusa, and he usually doesn't dare to resist her.

But now, since you have the courage to be direct and tough, it also means......

Just as Medusa turned around to leave, she had only taken a few steps when she heard a slight cracking sound from behind her, which made her subconsciously stop, and then she saw Phoenix, which was already covered with cracks and then violently rushed away by the flames gushing out from within.

"How is this possible?!" Medusa was shocked.

"It's a pity, I'm not the same person anymore, you can't stop me!" Phoenix laughed and slashed out a flaming sword qi that brushed over Medusa's face, which had reverted back to her human form, leaving a faint trail of blood on it.

"Damn it!" Brushing the blood from her face, Medusa left the factory with a gloomy expression.

Her biggest restraint on Phoenix is the ability to petrify, but now Phoenix is not afraid of this move, even if he can kill him, he will be resurrected soon, so it is useless to stay there and waste his strength.

So although I wanted to break Phoenix into pieces, Medusa, who was not dizzy, decided to shake people.

She didn't have a way to finish off Phoenix, but she felt that someone would have a way.

So after leaving the factory for some distance, Medusa coldly pulled out the ...... A cell phone, then dialed a number.

"I need your help!"

“？？？” Dragon: I was surprised to hold the phone in front of my eyes and looked at the caller ID, is it Medusa?

"Are you sure you're right? You're going to ask me for help? Putting the phone back to my ear, I couldn't help but tease.

"I'm going to kill Phoenix, and you just say you're not coming!" Medusa disguised her embarrassment with a tough stance.

"Kill Phoenix? The sage let you go? "Dragon, I raised my eyebrows.

"Originally, it was, but now it's my own business!" Medusa touched the wound on her face and replied murderously.

"Okay, let's report the address." Ryui hung up the phone, looked at a bloody police card that Takikawa Sora had just sent to him through Kensuke Nito and smiled, it was better to come early than to come by coincidence, this is really killing two birds with one stone!

"Dragon, you still have the heart to laugh!" Ali worried, "Rinko-chan is uncertain about her life and death, and I don't know where she is now!" ”

"Who said that, don't I just know this?" I smiled and tossed my phone.

"That's what you're looking for?" Retuisuke Nito was surprised.

"That's right." Ryui said and looked at him with a serious expression, "You can come with me later, but this phantom is not something you can handle, so your task is to bring Rinko out while we are doing it, and then quickly send it to the hospital, how about it?" ”
