"What are you kidding...... You...... It's not like that, you're going to die, hey! ”

From the scattered shallots, there was a cookbook borrowed from the library. There was no old nail polish on the fingertips, instead a few band-aids wrapped around them. Why she suffered such an "incommensurate" injury, the ancient city is clear.

However, what the ancient city could do for her was now nothing.

"Ahh

Greeting the ancient city that was stunned there was Yukina. I guess I came from the station chasing the old city.

Her breathing was very disturbed. Realizing that the shallots who had already died, Yukina's face turned blue all of a sudden.

"Blue Feather Senpai......!? Why, will ......"

Yukina, who pretended to be strong, said in a trembling voice. Although she is a sword witch of the Lion King's agency, she is still a trainee and has little experience, and I am afraid that she has not witnessed the death of a close friend.

"It's all ...... My fault ......"

"Huh?"

Hearing the murmur of the ancient city, Yukina looked up in surprise.

"It's just that I'm too confident to do this!!!!!"

"That kind of ...... ...... thing"

Yukina wanted to reply immediately, but she couldn't help but swallow when she saw Gucheng's eyes.

The eyes of the ancient city, which distorted his face angrily, flashed with a dazzling true red light. The astonishing fluctuations of magic emitted made the earth tremble with artificiality.

The beasts are facing a reawakening. The world's strongest vampire, a summoned beast from another world that the Fourth True Ancestor enslaves in his blood. They echo the wrath of the ancient city, wanting to run wild without limit.

"Wait a minute, senior. Senior——! ”

Yukina desperately rushed to the ancient city. However, being blocked by the explosive magic that was released, let alone approaching, he couldn't even stay where he was.

If you can fight against this kind of magic release, I'm afraid the only one is the 'Snow Wolf'. However, the sealed 'Snow Wolf' is not in her hands now.

The mana rage grew higher and higher, and began to produce lightning strikes and shockwaves.

The one who rescued Yukina, who was almost caught in the attack, was the Shikigami who appeared out of nowhere. She unfurls her hard protective barrier and transforms into Yukina's shield, defending against a deadly magical attack.

The Lion King's normal magician wizard is a ghost, and the super difficult magic of Yuan Tang Yuan - however, even with her power, she has done her best to protect Yukina. Far away on the edge of the Takami Forest, there is no way to stop the ancient city from rampage.

The strange resonance that shook the base of the artificial island, and the tiny cracks that spread at the foot of the ancient city, were caused by the power of the beast that he had not yet shown. If the magic of the ancient city continues to run wild like this, this island of the String God will collapse sooner or later.

However, at this time, Yukina remembered what the ancient city had said, 'As long as she is on this island for a day, then all necessity and chance will shelter her'

If Yukina understands correctly, as long as Ashalion is still on this island for a day, she won't die for a day.

Hoping that her guess was correct, Yukina shouted towards the ancient city: "Senior, cheer up!" Calm down! Please cheer up! Didn't you say that as long as Senior Sister Blue Feather was still on this island for a day, she would never be in danger? In that case, Senior Sister Blue Feather should still be alive! ”

Resisting the raging storm, Yukina screams at the top of her throat.

The ancient city, which had lost itself, reacted to this sound that should not have been conveyed. The eyes dominated by anger came back to their senses. The lightning stopped, and the storm stopped.

"Shallow... Onion ......"

Muttering in a hoarse voice, the ancient city's body shook.

Yukina galloped to the fallen ancient city. At this time, the ancient city was stunned to notice that Yukina's forehead was bleeding. It was the magic of the ancient city that had hurt her.

"Yukina...... You ......"

"It's okay, I'm okay. Because the master's Shikigami protected me. ”

In front of Yukina, who turned her head like this, she saw that the Shikigami in the appearance of Saya Hua had turned into countless shredded paper. This is caused by using up the mana infused into the runes.

Yes, as long as it's right, the shallow onion sheltered by this island should still have a way to resurrect.

Therefore, the ancient city must find a way to resurrect her, this is what the ancient city has to do!

"What. Still thinking about why it's not all right, it turns out that it fell here-"

However, as if mocking the ancient city's determination, a cold voice with a smile was heard.

The owner of the voice was a young alchemist in a white coat.

Although the characteristic red and white hat and silver cane were not around, it was impossible to mistake the man's face because of this. He is the mercury of the heavenly mound.

"It's the right time to come back. I didn't expect it to be hidden like that. ”

The mound, which emerged from the sparse shade of the roadside trees, walked leisurely towards the ancient city.

However, his words to himself were not for the ancient city.

Ignoring the hostile ancient city, Tenzuka stared at the shallows in a pool of blood.

He, planning to recover the body of the shallot.

"Stop, alchemist—"

In the form of blocking the way to the mound, the ancient city went to the front to shelter the shallots.

At this time, Tianzuka seemed to finally notice their existence in the ancient city. Glancing around wordlessly, he sighed tastelessly.

"Did you kill shallots—?"

Gu Gu asked in a tone that suppressed the killing intent. But Amazuka narrowed his eyes in surprise,

"Who are you talking about? Is it some of the corpses that fell over there? ”

"You bastard......"

The right hand of the ancient city with a clenched fist, with a ding, was wrapped around the piercing high frequency.

Although it was the same beast's magic leaking, it didn't go berserk. Now it is the ancient city that controls the power of the vampires according to its own will.

Able to dominate. I'll show you. In order not to let anyone die again.

"Don't get in my way. Fourth True Ancestor—"

Amazuka, who said lazy words, raised his right hand ordinarily.

His flowing fingertips turned into whips attacking the ancient city. This was an expected attack.

However, there is not only one attack unleashed by Amazuka. More than a dozen wrists, starting from near the elbows, as if each with its own consciousness, attacked the ancient city from different angles.

To dodge them all, it is impossible to have even the reaction speed of a vampire. And Amatsuka also has the ability to reorganize matter. It was an alchemical secret technique that even an immortal vampire could be powerless in an instant.

In the face of the unavoidable attack of the Heavenly Mound, the ancient city did not intend to defend at all. However, in the next moment, it was the alchemist who was sent flying.

This was due to Yukina, who rushed into his arms from the dead corner of Amazuka, and unleashed a strong upper kick.

"Thunder!"

After eating the blow of the sword witch wrapped in the magic power that even stubborn orcs can stun, Amazuka's emaciated body floated in the air. The moment he saw this scene, the ancient city also stomped on the ground.

"It's over, Amazuka!"

The right fist of the ancient city, which was wrapped around the blasting wind, hit Amazuka's chest.

There is no mercy. was hit by the ancient city as a vampire with all his might, not to mention that it also contained the magic power of the beast, which was absolutely irresistible to the ** of human beings. I'm afraid it will explode clean without leaving a trace.

Even if he knew that the ancient city had not released water, and the ancient city could not and could not have been. Water.

Because, both the ancient city and the heavenly mound understand that if they don't kill each other, they will be the ones who are killed, and once the ancient city releases water, then the dead people will also be covered with snow vegetables.

Tenzuka's body, which twisted to an unnatural shape, was hit by the strong force of the ancient city on the road, and the powerful impact made the entire road surface dented, and Tenzuka was in this sunken pavement.

To be able to withstand this kind of impact, unless it has a strong recovery that is at least comparable to that of the 'old generation vampires', it is difficult for even a demon with extremely strong resistance to attack to withstand this blow - the blow of the world's strongest vampire, the Fourth True Ancestor.

Not only was his jaw kicked and shattered by Yukina, and he was hit to the ground by the powerful impact of the ancient city, even though most of the impact had been withstood by Amazuka, the ground behind him was still pressed to the ground by the remaining impact!

There is no doubt that if Tenzuka were human, then his back bone would have been broken in half.

No, not only that, but that impact, even the weaker 'Old Generation Vampires' would have killed them on the spot if they were unprepared!

It is impossible to block this blow with a human body!

However, Tenzuka withstood it, if it was just an alchemist who was a human being, Tenzuka would not be able to withstand this blow at all!

Yes, if Amazuka were human-

Because he's not human at all!

"It's too much, you two...... In this way, won't you be able to keep your original form......"

Tenzuka's skin turned into a myriad of mercury-like liquids, peeking out of his tattered coat, which was not human skin at all—a metallic liquid covered in rust

After that, all the black-silver liquid condensed into a ball, and instead of the black gem buried in the heart, it burst open with a 'bang' and fell at his feet.

Taking this as an opportunity, the black gem on Amazuka's chest instead of his heart burst open, and the moment it fell next to his feet, Amazuka's silhouette suddenly distorted.

The form of the human form began to collapse, changing into a pitch-black fluid, and finally gathered together again as before, forming an uncertain metallic liquid.

"Could it be ...... 'Sage's Spiritual Blood'......!?"

Yukina whispered tremblingly. Hearing the words that made an impression, the ancient city couldn't help but tremble.

Immortal ** and infinite magic. The ** of complete "gods" pursued by alchemists.

"This thing is the ultimate goal of an alchemist......!?"

"--Senior!"

"Not good!"

Hearing the girl's shout, the ancient city suddenly woke up from his contemplation, and immediately reflexively caught the girl who flew over, and opened the magic barrier.

Then, a flash of black silver galloped past where the ancient city had just stood.

The asphalt of the road surface scattered without a sound, and the ground was carved with deep cracks like ground cracks.

It was an attack that could not be caught by the human eye, and it possessed a speed that far exceeded the limit of human **!

Immediately after, the dust that had risen after the great destruction finally dispersed, revealing the intact figures of the two people surrounded by a semicircular barrier of light blue transparent magic.

Yes, if it weren't for Yukina's reminder, the ancient city opened its magic light blue magic to block the attack of Tianzuka, then the current ancient city and Yukina would not be standing here, and they would have already been hit by the attack just now and even ** would have dissipated without a trace.

Although Amatsuka was unable to maintain his human form due to the joint attack of the ancient city and Yukina, he lost the ability to reorganize matter, but instead of him, Amatsuka gained more vicious attack power than before!

At this time, standing in front of the two of them was nothing more than an alchemist of non-human existence...
