"Cang!"
Under Yuuma's command, the green armored knight appeared behind her and slashed at Eight-cloud Ink.
"Ding!!"
Eight-cloud Ink didn't even look back as she extended her parasol and blocked the sword.
The dispersing airflow wreaked havoc in the hall, which was already on the verge of collapse, causing it to shake even more violently.
"It's very rude to use someone else's body without permission."
Along with this sentence, the parasol's tip suddenly exploded with demonic power.
At that moment, Yuuma and Kojou both felt their vision blur.
Then …
"I changed back!"
Kojou looked at his hands in shock. He finally regained control of his body.
On the other side, Mu Yuma, who was standing beside Yukina, stared at the scene in disbelief.
"How is this possible … my magic …"
"Nothing is impossible. Your so-called body swap is just using your five senses to deceive your real five senses. Now that you know this, it's easy to break it."
All he needed to do was to reverse the state of illusion and reality for an instant, and he would be able to break it.
"Yuuma, do you still want to continue?"
After regaining control of his body, Kojou was in a good mood and immediately looked at Yuuma.
Yuuma, who lost her biggest reliance, clenched her teeth and took a few steps back. She began to think about how to deal with the situation in front of her.
However, Yakumo Mo was standing beside Natsuki. She raised her head and looked at the dome of the hall.
"This is a dream after all."
Eight-cloud Ink murmured something that no one could understand as she gently placed her hand on Natsuki's head.
"When you wake up, reality will appear. So, Natsuki-chan, don't sleep anymore. "
"I knew you would wake me up sooner or later."
Natsuki, who had been sleeping on a luxurious chair, suddenly opened her eyes and looked at Yakumo.
"Natsuki-chan?!"
Kojou shouted from the other side.
Natsuki glared at him. "Don't add the word 'chan' behind my name!"
Along with Natsuki's awakening, the ruins of the Ancient Church of Saints completely collapsed. A new building that Seiji had never seen before appeared on the ruins of the Ancient Church of Saints.
It was a prison covered by thick iron walls and barbed wire.
"Is this the real prison barrier?"
Eight-cloud Ink looked down at Natsuki, who stood up from the chair and stretched her arms and legs.
"What we saw earlier was the prison barrier in your dream. The one we see now is the real one, isn't it?"
"Zhuang Zhou and a butterfly must be different. This so-called materialization … But in reality, there's no such thing as reality or illusion."
Natsuki sighed.
"You really shouldn't have woken me up."
"But at this point, it's best to resolve it. Don't you think so, Vatler?"
"This is a good show!"
Vatler's voice sounded outside the prison barrier.
Vatler walked into the hall with a faint smile, still looking impeccable and unparalleled.
"What Yagun said is correct. The way I see it, the best method is to completely eliminate those people."
"You two …"
Natsuki opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end, she just sighed.
Seeing that Natsuki didn't object, Eight-cloud Ink laughed and yelled at the hall. "Since it's like this, why don't you come out? Xiandu Mu A 'ye … "
Then, a terrifying female voice echoed in the hall, accompanied by a metallic lingering sound.
It was the voice of an evil witch who had lived for a long time.
"Interesting demon …"
The owner of the voice was standing in the deepest part of the hall.
It was a woman with long hair that reached her feet.
She was wearing a Heian era noblewoman's robe. Although it was a beautiful and complicated robe, it was dyed in black and white. It looked like a death god's robe. Although her appearance was young and beautiful, her eyes were crimson red — they were fiery eyes.
His gentle smiling eyes were unusually ominous.
"Mother!"
The moment she saw Xiandu Mu A 'ye, Xiandu Mu Yuma's face was 30% surprised and 70% fearful.
However, A Ye, who was called mother by Immortal Mu Yuma, glanced at her expressionlessly and then snorted.
"Useless thing."
The expression on Yuma's face froze.
"Bastard!"
Seeing his good friend being treated like this, even if it was his mother, Kojou couldn't help but roar.
The grimoire in Mother A 'ye's hand slowly flew up and emitted an ominous purple light.
"Fourth True Ancestor, this girl and I are the same existence …"
"Wuu … Ah … Ahhhhh …!"
At this moment, a blood-curdling scream burst out from Xiandu Mu Yuma's throat.
Behind her, a humanoid phantom materialized by magic appeared.
It was a faceless knight in rusty armor. It was a demon's subordinate that was granted through a contract. In other words, it was the witch's' guardian '.
The blue knight's body was corroded by black vein-like patterns.
It was as if he wanted to forcefully take away Yuma's control over the 'guardian'.
"Yuma?!"
"… No way … How can it be … How can it take away the witch's' guardian '…"
Kojou and Yukina were dumbfounded, and their voices trembled.
Natsuki was about to stop it when Mother A 'ye looked at her.
"Are you sure you want to do this? If you interrupt, not only me but also this girl will die. "
"Hmph!"
Natsuki's face darkened.
Eight-cloud Ink and Vatler looked at each other and waited for Mother A 'ye to finish her magic.
"No … Please stop … Mother …!"
Mother A 'ye begged in a weak voice.
While looking at her A Ye, she only revealed a cruel smile.
"It's time for you to return the power I lent you, my daughter."
Mother A 'ye raised her left hand. At that moment, the sound of trees cracking sounded, and Yuma screamed in pain.
The invisible giant wrist seemed to be tearing off the wings of a small bird. It cruelly pulled something from the back of Sendu Mu Yuma who was leaning backward.
"No! Ahhhhh!"
From the severed spiritual energy path, the magic that was originally flowing there spurted out like blood.
The blue armor of Yuma Mu's "Guardian" was completely dyed black.
The faceless knight roared like a beast that was freed from its chains. His body swayed like hot air as he moved towards A Ye's back. Immortal Mu A Ye had completely taken over Yuma's "Guardian".
"Anesthetic!"
Tossed aside like a broken puppet, Yuma's body rolled to the ground. Kojou immediately stepped forward and hugged his childhood sweetheart, calling out her name with concern.
Seeing that Xiandu Mu Yuma had no reaction, Gu Cheng put down the girl in his arms with a gloomy face and walked to Eight-cloud Ink.
"Teacher, let me deal with this person, okay?"
"Hmm? Are you sure? In my opinion, you are no match for her. " Yakumo looked back at Xiandu Mu Yuma, who was lying on the ground not far away. "Don't worry, that girl will be fine."
According to the original plot, Kojou should've released three familiars by now. However, due to Eight-cloud Ink's appearance, Kojou didn't release his familiars during the fake angel incident. Thus, he only had the lion's gold and the two-horned horse.
"Even so, this is a battle of the fourth primogenitor!"
Raising his head, Kojou looked at Immortal Capital Wood Aye with eyes full of determination.
"I like that look."
Vatler laughed maniacally.
"This is my favorite fourth primogenitor!"
"Monster and snake charmer." Natsuki waved her fan and stood next to Kojou, "I'll stay and help Kojou. Can you two help me deal with the escaped prisoners?"
Eight-cloud Ink and Vatler looked at each other.
"With pleasure."
