"Boom!"
Amidst the deafening rumble, a thick bolt of bright yellow lightning struck a translucent barrier made up of dozens of magic arrays of varying sizes that seemed both real and illusory at the same time.
The barrier shuddered, and in an instant, it completely solidified.
"Crack!"
A large area of cracks quickly spread out and shattered, completely exposing a huge building that looked like a European castle.
The castle was none other than the Prison Barrier itself.
"Finally, it's starting."
Sei Itō said softly from a tower on Itogami Island. He looked at the rusty bridge that connected the Prison Barrier to the island.
"Let me be the observer this time."
With that, Ito Sei's figure instantly disappeared from the tower.
The next moment, Ito Sei's figure appeared above the Prison Barrier, suspended in the air, waiting quietly.
A little more than ten minutes later, accompanied by a spatial fluctuation, a tall and thin boy with pale blue hair dressed like a medieval noble vampire in a movie, a black-haired girl with a ponytail who wore a black-and-white maid skirt and held a special-style metal spear, and another girl with short brown hair who looked a little boyish appeared in the prison enchantment. But for some reason, she was lying on the ground on the ground.
Vigilant, the gun-wielding girl quickly sized up her surroundings.
"Is this the Prison Barrier? Then what is that building?" the boy asked, his voice filled with confusion.
"It's the same thing, Fourth Primogenitor." A pleasant female voice echoed in the night sky.
Along with the transmission of the voice, a young lady whose appearance was almost identical to the one lying on the ground appeared. The only difference was the length of her hair and the clothes she wore. The woman, who seemed to be much more mature than the young girl, slowly landed on one of the walls of the prison.
"That empty Sanctuary is what the Prison Barrier looks like in Natsuki Minamiya's Dream Mirror. However, the Witch of the Void has awakened from the Eternal Dream Mirror and the Prison Barrier has appeared." The long-haired woman wore a black dress similar to those worn by ancient Japanese court ladies. She had a sinister smile on her face. He stated in a light tone.
"Mother … Milord." The young girl who was lying on the ground struggled to prop up her upper body and turned her head to look at the woman on the wall and said bitterly.
"You are Yuma's mother?" The boy who was called the Fourth Primogenitor by the woman, Kotoshi Kotoshi, asked.
The Yoma he spoke of should be the young girl lying on the ground.
"Her face is the same as Yuma's," the maid with the strange spear on the side said.
"Of course. That girl was a pure copy that I produced through monogenesis. She was just a shadow that I created to break the seal of the prison barrier. She and I are one and the same. That's why. How can you do such a thing? "
After the woman finished speaking, her right hand gently pointed at the girl below — Yuma.
"Ahhhhh …" In an instant, she hugged her body tightly and knelt on the ground, screaming miserably.
Xiao Gecheng abruptly turned his head to look behind him.
But at this time, a tall armored man made entirely of magic, like an ancient European knight, appeared above the numb back. Pitch-black marks appeared on his body, as if it was being corroded and on the verge of rupturing.
"No, stop, mother!" Yoma cried out in pain.
"It's time for you to return the power I lent you." The woman's expression remained unchanged as if she were looking at an inanimate object.
As he spoke, lines of magic power that resembled meridians and nerves appeared. They were attached to the body of the man in blue armor and the man in less "nv you" respectively.
"Don't!" The numb woman suddenly stood up and let out a blood-curdling scream that resounded through the sky.
"Pa!"
Although it was light, it sounded like a clap of thunder in some people's ears. The ink-black magic thread that connected the little girl and the blue armored man suddenly tightened and broke, completely severing the direct connection between the two.
Then, the man in blue armor flashed and appeared behind the woman. But at this time, the color of the armor changed from the original sky-blue color to the color of the night.
"Yuma!" Xiao Gecheng shouted and ran to Yuma, who fell to the ground again.
"How dare you do such a thing. For a witch. The [Guardian] is a part of her body that she gave up her human identity to get, and you took it away! "The gun-wielding girl first looked at Yuma, then glared at the woman in fancy clothes and said loudly.
"This girl is a puppet I made. Isn't it my freedom to do what I want with her?" The woman asked calmly.
"What a joke. How dare you let my best friend suffer like this. Is that all you want to say? "Xiao Gecheng gently put down Yuma in his arms. He turned around and glared at the woman with eyes that had turned crimson due to his rage. Magic power surged all over his body as he questioned loudly.
Following that, the nature of the Mana around Xiao Gucheng changed, and he released streaks of golden lightning energy.
"Is this okay? The Fourth True Ancestor. If you send me flying, the prison barrier won't be unharmed. " Ignoring the lightning that lit up the night sky, the woman still had a sinister smile on her face and said softly.
"This way, it will also bring a corresponding backlash to the caster."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Gucheng abruptly withdrew the surging Mana into his body. Then he asked loudly, "Where did you take Natsuki-chan?"
The woman took action and silently summoned a book with a pitch-black cover from the space.
"Grimoire." The gun-wielding girl said softly.
"That's right, No. 014, a grimoire that accumulates time. Using the power of the grimoire, it cast a curse on the witch and stole her memory. No, it didn't just steal her memory, it also stole the time she spent. "The woman explained softly.
"What do you mean?" Xiao Gecheng asked cooperatively.
"Before she completely lost her magic power, Nangong Natsuki seemed to have escaped. But as long as the grimoire is activated, she can't use any magic. "
"So that's how it is. All that's left is to find her and give her the final blow?" However, at this moment, an unfamiliar voice echoed in the night sky.
The woman's lips curved up slightly. With a joyful smile, she turned around and looked behind her.
In an instant, six people, including an old man, a woman, an armored man, a gentleman wearing a tall hat, a short young man, and a slender man wearing black-rimmed glasses and a Chinese-style long gown, appeared in front of the woman, Xiao Gucheng, and the spear-wielding girl who were also looking up.
"If that's the case. We can help you. "The extremely sexy blue-haired woman said casually.
"Everyone has the same feeling of wanting to kill that woman," the old man said.
Just from the way they spoke and the way they treated Nangong Natsuki, it was easy to guess that the six of them were prisoners of this prison.
"Immortal City A 'Muye, the witch secretary?" The man in the hat looked at the woman and said, "Thank you for prying open this hateful prison's barrier gate."
"It's just the few of you? What's wrong with the others? "The woman, Immortal City A 'Muye, glanced at the six people and asked.
"Don't mention what's wrong. Look at that thing." The young man with the Pirates of the Caribbean hair raised his left arm and said. He signaled for A 'Muye to pay attention to the bracelet on his wrist.
Then, he suddenly swung his arm at the man in the hat.
"Pu."
A muffled sound rang out, and blood spurted out from the man in the hat's chest. At the same time, the man in the hat was sent flying.
During this process, the man in the hat glared at the young man who attacked him with hatred.
"Sutra, you bastard," the man in the hat said hatefully.
However, before he could finish his words, the black bracelet on his wrist suddenly lit up. The dark metal bracelet on his left wrist suddenly emitted a faint purple magic light. Then, numerous chains made of magic quickly wrapped around his body, binding him and dragging him into the void created by the triangular spatial magic array that suddenly appeared behind him. Then, he disappeared along with the magic array.
"So that's how it is. Is the prison's barrier system still working?" A 'Muye said softly.
"It means that those with weak magic and physical strength will be brought back into the barrier. Those who are weaker will never be able to leave in the first place." The whip-haired young man said unhappily.
"Until we kill the witch and remove the prison's barrier, we won't be truly free." The blue-haired woman complained.
"Wait …" Hearing the criminals talk about killing Nangong Natsuki, Xiao Gucheng suddenly said. Xiao Gucheng said angrily.
But before he could finish his words, a new change occurred.
At this moment, five cube-shaped transparent spaces suddenly rose from under the feet of the five new prisoners who ran out of the prison barrier, with the exception of Ah Mu Ye in the immortal capital, imprisoning all of them.
"Finally willing to come out." A 'Muye turned around and looked at the sky. He looked up at the void and said.
"There are still people hiding around?" The spear-wielding girl was shocked.
The next moment, the five cube-shaped spaces flashed and disappeared. Of course, the five criminals who were imprisoned in the cube-shaped spaces also disappeared.
"The witch is really troublesome." Sei Itō, who came out of the void, sighed softly.
"Who are you? Are you the witch's helper? "A 'Muye asked.
"No, I'm just a passerby. Recently, I've been looking for some experimental materials. That's why I appeared here." Sei Itō shrugged and smiled.
"Is that so?" A 'Muye replied without knowing what he meant.
Itō Sei didn't pay attention to Akuya. He turned his head and looked at Xiao Gusheng and the girl with the gun beside him – Miko Yukina.
Seeing Sei Itō looking at them, Xiao Gucheng and Yukina immediately got into a defensive posture, ready to fight at any time.
Seeing this, Sei Itō smiled and pointed at Yukina.
In the blink of an eye, Ji Zhuo Yukina flashed across the air and showed up beside Ito Sei. Ito Sei activated his telekinesis and forcibly froze Ji Zhuo Yukina's body in the air. Then, he reached out his hand and grabbed the [Seven Style Assault Spear] [Snow Cloud Wolf Spear], which was a special weapon that could eliminate magic power and spirit power, and threw it into the cube world.
"Snow Cloud Wolf!" Yukina yelled.
"Yukina!" Xiao Gucheng shouted angrily.
"Don't worry, I'm not interested in your little girl." Sei Itō chuckled.
Then, he teleported Ji Zhuo Yukina back to Xiao Gucheng.
"Yukina!"
Xiao Gucheng reached out his arms and caught Yukina, who was falling from the sky.
"Bang."
Yukina's body was very light, but the force of the fall still affected the wound on his chest caused by the Snow Cloud Wolf. Xiao Gucheng couldn't help but kneel on the ground with a pained expression.
"By the way, A 'Muye, can you give me your grimoire as well?" Sei Itō turned to A' Muye and asked.
"Are you sending a signal to me, the witch, to fight?" Hearing this, Immortal Capital's Ah Mu Ye put away the sinister smile that had been hanging on his face and said faintly.
To the witches of this world, the Grimoire was a treasure, a life, and the proof of their existence. Any guide who tried to steal the Grimoire from them would be seen as a provocation, a sign of war!
"I hope we can settle this peacefully." Sei Itō shook his head.
"That's impossible." Immortal Capital's Ah Mu Ye answered straightforwardly.
"So we have to fight in the end." Sei Itō sighed.
In the next second, Sei Itō's body flashed and appeared next to A 'Muye. He reached out and grabbed her neck. A 'Muye also flashed and teleported to the side with a teleportation spell. Then, she yelled, "Shadow."
As soon as she finished speaking, an armored man appeared next to her. He held a European-style greatsword and slashed at Sei Itō.
Itō Sei clenched his fist, and a burst of lightning energy filled with divine power instantly erupted from his fist. Then, along with his punch, it bombarded the armored man.
Boom!
A violent explosion sounded. At the same time, lightning spread all over the armored man's body. He curled up like a real person.
At this moment, A 'Muye pointed at Sei Itō.
Almost instantly, several pitch-black magic fences rose from under Sei Itō's feet and wrapped around him.
With a thought, Ito Seiji's body suddenly exploded, turning into countless fine lightning bolts, rushing out of the magic fence and rushing toward Immortal Capital Ah Muye.
