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 hill with the sanctuary is connected to the 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, Senduki 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 Sentoki Yuma ordered the "Guardian", a voice from behind stopped her.

"Yuma!"

Turning around, his body, which he had long been accustomed to, stood there, that is, Xiao Gucheng who was currently in the body of Mu Youma, the immortal capital. Beside him, stood a girl with a silver spear.

"Have you caught up with me already?" Xiandumu Yuma frankly expressed his admiration.

The current Xiao Gucheng is an ordinary person without any power, and it should not be able to catch up with the immortal capital Mu Yuma who jumped through the space. At least not on his own.

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

"—Don't talk like someone else's business. Aren't you one of them? Xiao Gucheng replied bitterly with crooked lips.

Xiandu Mu Youma 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. Xiao Gucheng said this, pointing to Ji Hiiragi Yukina beside him.

The girl with the silver spear said, I really didn't expect it, and stared at Xiaogu City with wide eyes. Called a strange friend by the world's strongest vampire, it's no surprise that you want to complain. However, she did not intend to deny Xiao Gucheng's words.

"Why would you help someone break down a detention facility?" Xiao Gucheng asked Xiandu Mu Youma seriously.

And Sentomu Yuma's answer was very succinct: "Because I was made for this." ”

“…… Made? ”

"My mother, Sendu Muaye, the former commander of the LCO. She was arrested on the island of the String God and has been locked up in the prison barrier since ten years ago. And the props she prepared for the escape from prison were me. Pointing to his own body that was manipulated by Xiao Gucheng, Xiandu Mu Yuma laughed self-deprecatingly, "I am a test-tube baby who has been accelerated to grow. 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 the String God Island Prison, it's been designed by my mother from the beginning. ”

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

Xiandu Mu Youma 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 Xiao Gucheng, who was about to refute with his hand, Xiandu Mu Yuma turned around: "Knowing that you have obtained the power of the Fourth True Ancestor, LCO has changed his plan slightly. Originally, in order to break the seal of the prison barrier, it was expected that about 100,000 people who lived on the island would be sacrificed. However, thanks to the blessing of the ancient city, there is no need for that...... Thank you, ancient city. ”

"'Snow Wolves' ——!" Before Sendu Mu Yuma's words were finished, Ji Hiiragi Yukina let the gun flash and flew over.

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

The faceless green knight who emerged from behind Xiandu Mu Youma 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.

It should have noticed that the glorious body, Xiao Gucheng and Ji Hiiragi's expressions froze.

A physical mass of mana, a golden lion entwined with thunder and light—

"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. There was only a moment, for this moment-" Under the effect of the uncontrollable aftermath of magical power, Sendu Mu Yuma smiled bitterly.

It's just that she occupies Xiao Gucheng's body, 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 Sendu Mu Yuma, he was able to use this irregular magic. Relying on the memories possessed by Xiao Gucheng's body, the moment when he used the beast in the past was connected to the current time and space-

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

Even with the magic of Sendu Mu Yuma 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 the technique of Xiandu Mu Youma, causing the space to lose connection. The magic that came from the reverse current scorched the nerves of Sendu Mu Yuma, and the reaction of the destructive power attacked the "guardian".

In the end, when the thunder disappeared, those who remained in place were Sendu Mu Yuma, who was kneeling on the ground, and the injured Blue Knight. 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. ”

Xiao Gucheng and Ji Hiiragi Yukina stood dumbfounded and listened to the weak words of Sendu Mu Yuma.

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 collapsed sanctuary, Xiao Gucheng 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.

The one there is, undoubtedly, part of the island of the String God, 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 gaps—

"That's right, that's how it should be." Someone standing in the distance shouted.

He is the White Hall Mirror.

"It will be completed very quickly. With the magic book No.539, based on space, it is shaped to interfere with the void 'crossing operation' of time and space in the fantasy world. At that time, I can interfere with the prison enchantment formed by Nangong Nayue's dream, and then collapse its 'guardian', and I can use this power to completely transform the 'prison enchantment' into the void of Nangong Nayue through this form. Bai Tangjing thought with a smile. (To be continued.) )
