"How many years has it been since I last breathed outdoor air like this?"
"Last time seemed to be on that plane? But at that time, I was using that vixen's body. Just thinking about having used his body..."
Manaka instantly felt as if her body had been contaminated by something dirty, and her entire being felt extremely uncomfortable.
The one on the plane clearly couldn't be counted.
In that case, five years had passed.
"The moon tonight is truly beautiful, isn't it, vixen?"
Due to Manaka's forced emergence, Naoki's soul realm had experienced a violent shock, and he had already lost consciousness, so naturally, he couldn't answer her.
But that didn't matter; it wouldn't stop Manaka from taking revenge on him.
*THWACK!*
Her small hand slightly lifted, and a wave of chaos instantly conjured countless sharp thorns, directly piercing Naoki's body and hanging him on a bizarre cross made of black thorns.
Lifting his chin, Manaka stared at the face that was seventy or eighty percent similar to her younger sister and her prince.
"I used to like Ayaka very much. Although she always followed me around and it was a bit troublesome, she was very obedient. Unfortunately, she spoke to Saber without my permission. After that, I hated her very much."
"So, I also hate you, vixen, hate your resemblance to Ayaka, hate your face that looks more and more like Saber's, hate you for taking Saber away from me, and even being liked, protected, and trusted by Saber."
Although she didn't want to admit it, Manaka couldn't deny that compared to when he was with her, Arthur seemed happier and more relaxed when he was with Naoki. More precisely, the two of them weren't just Master and Servant, but companions who could trust each other.
Manaka envied that relationship. She didn't allow anyone to have a closeness with Arthur that exceeded her own.
So—
"This is your oversight. Goodbye, vixen."
Her hand pressed against Naoki's chest. With just a little force, his heart would be crushed by Manaka, and at that moment, she would truly regain her freedom.
*CRASH!*
A beam of Magic Cannon suddenly shot from the side. Manaka's arm, which was pressed against Naoki's chest, was instantly shattered and disappeared by the Magic Cannon.
Glancing sideways, Manaka looked at Aoko with a slight helplessness: "The Magician of this world? Since you are nobody, I have no intention of dealing with you. Stand aside quietly without speaking and without moving, and that way, you can save your life."
"Why bother stepping forward and seeking death?"
In an instant, a wave of chaos boiled, and a headless giant over forty meters tall suddenly crawled out of the black mud. Its huge arm, the size of a skyscraper, clenched into a fist and suddenly slammed down at Aoko!
This scene made Manaka unconsciously frown: "The current output scale, it can only produce one?"
Beast Princess—the embodiment of the authority of the womb of the hundred beasts of the Ancient Goddess.
If used normally, it would cause world erosion equivalent to a Bounded Field, but now, allowing one monster to exist at the same time was already the maximum output. Even a Bounded Field couldn't form normally.
At the same time, this was also the reason why Manaka had previously wanted Naoki to kill Nero. In her view, Nero's Bounded Field was just a lowly imitation of hers, ugly and disgusting beyond endurance. The existence of chaos that couldn't even produce a god-level creature was a complete defilement.
Facing the giant fist slamming down, Aoko didn't confront it directly, but instantly accelerated and fled from her spot. Then, dozens of magic formations appeared and surrounded her arm—
"Vanish—"
The Magic Cannon hadn't had time to fire, even the concentration and compression of Mana hadn't been completed. Just because of one word from Manaka, Aoko's magic formulas instantly disappeared!
A counterattack?!
Aoko was only shocked instinctively for a moment. The shadow of the giant fist had already completely covered her.
*THUMP!*
One punch landed, and the already dilapidated ground instantly shattered completely. The entire intersection instantly collapsed on the spot!
Looking at Aoko, who had fallen and been buried under a pile of rocks, Manaka sneered: "If it were True Magic, even the real me couldn't erase it, but just low-level Magecraft like Gandr, are you underestimating me too much, Magician?"
*CRASH!*
As if answering Manaka's cold mockery, a massive Magic Cannon with a diameter of five meters suddenly shot out from underground, shattering all the falling rocks at once!
Dragging a body covered in large and small wounds, Aoko staggered to her feet again.
"Persistent... Just fall."
Before she could stand up straight, Manaka's voice sounded again. Dozens of times the force of gravity instantly pressed down on Aoko. Her wounded body, which hadn't had time to stand, instantly fell uncontrollably!
'Is this a Magician? Unexpected—'
'So weak.'
Manaka's thought only flashed for a moment, and in the next moment—
*WHOOOOOOSH!*
