"This is not good..."
Kanzaki's expression darkened as she saw the angel fall from the sky and confront her. This angel had momentarily abandoned Touya and now stared at her coldly. The angel's appearance grew increasingly blurred and corrupted, its power escalating to the point where even Kanzaki broke out in a cold sweat.
Unfortunately, Kanzaki had no time to think as the angel attacked...
*GYAAAAA
With a roar, the angel's crystal wings distorted, creating hundreds of ice shards that shot out at high speed...
*Click
Without hesitation, Sky Halo was drawn from its sheath, and Kanzaki swiftly cut through the ice shards...
*Shiii
Part of Sky Halo's blade power sliced through the air towards the angel...
However, the cut could not penetrate beyond the angel's crystal wings. Instead, it enraged the angel, and more ice shards rapidly accumulated in the sky...
*Clin, clin, clin...
Sword and ice shards clashed, creating a small mist that hindered Kanzaki's vision. Worse yet, in the darkness of the night, each ice shard became faster, forcing Kanzaki to move quicker and strengthen her vision with magic...
---------
"We can't break it...."
Tsuchimikado frowned deeply. The crystal barrier created by the Apocalypse Virus was incredibly strong; neither Touma nor Tsuchimikado could break it.
[Joker, what's happening? Why is there a crystal barrier around the ritual?!]
With no other option, Tsuchimikado called for help. He had hoped to complete this mission without resorting to the Joker, but now he had no choice.
[I believe my order was clear: do not destroy the ritual and find the responsible party. Can you explain... what you're doing?...]
However, Yuki responded with another question. Their refusal to inform him about Touma's father was pushing his patience. If Yuki didn't trust them and wasn't monitoring them from the shadows, he wouldn't be aware of the situation.
[This....]
Tsuchimikado was speechless for a few seconds...
[No matter. New mission: help Kanzaki and await my arrival...]
Without waiting for Tsuchimikado's response, Yuki hung up. Tsuchimikado was left stunned...
He alternated glances between Touma's house and the distance, where he could only hear explosions from Kanzaki's direction, indicating the danger of being there.
"Nya~ one of these days, I'll die from overwork."
Shrugging, Tsuchimikado lamented his life. A double agent protecting the balance so his little sister could be happy, he was an excellent brother despite being a siscon. He didn't complain any further and assisted Touma as they began to move away...
-------------
"The angel's fall accelerated. Are you ready? ..."
With the addition of Tsuchimikado and Touma, the angel faced much more trouble, especially with Touma's right hand, which could nullify magic and Telesma...
However, this made the angel's figure even more radiant. Soon, its loli form disappeared, replaced by a brilliant white figure with golden lines around its body and a sacred aura...
"Wow, it's Gabriel. What a surprise..."
As the angel's body formed, Aiwass identified it...
Archangel Gabriel, the guardian of the moon, governor of the blue, and protector of the rear.
This archangel has many mythologies to its name and is also known as the 'Power of God,' posing a challenge. As the angel's body formed, its fall progressed further, with the Sephira crystal containing its Telesma nearing completion...
"...."
Yuki, meanwhile, remained silent, sitting cross-legged with both hands together. His spiritual power increased steadily, and a translucent crown appeared on his head...
*Plot
In his spiritual world, Yuki walked slowly toward the small house where Est and other inhabitants lived...
Yuki calmly observed this house and glanced at the sky castle. The enormous chains were falling one by one, and the terrifying aura of the Demon King permeated the spiritual world...
"Haaa..."
Shrugging, Yuki wasted no time and entered the house directly. He walked straight to a door with a sign that read 'My Lady Queen (Eggy)'...
Gently knocking on the door, Yuki called out.
"Eggy, it's time to come out. I need you..."
The Demon King was about to awaken, and someone needed to stop him. Of the two spirits living inside him, Est had a stronger connection with the Demon King, who treated Est as his weapon, making her unable to stop him. This left only one person capable of playing the Ocarina...
*Creakkk
Eggy didn't speak, but the door slowly opened, revealing a pair of slender white legs, followed by white arms and a curvy hourglass figure...
"Oh?"
Yuki opened his mouth in surprise. Eggy still wore her black feather skirt, her appearance unchanged despite a year of closed-door training...
"Hmph! Even if you want to devour this queen with your gaze, I won't accept you until you're the strongest in the starry sky..."
Shaking her hair arrogantly and snorting coldly, Eggy thought Yuki had finally succumbed to her charm. After all, Yuki almost seemed ready to jump at her in lust, boosting the arrogance of this little world spirit to the sky...
However, Yuki's next words almost made her fall to the ground...
"Even a small fry like you can grow so much... This Demon King sure is generous..."
Indeed, Yuki wasn't staring at Eggy because of her beauty but because of the amount of power she was emanating.
A Rank 5, Lower Destroyer. Initially, Eggy was barely a lower Tectonic, and Yuki could easily defeat her. Now, it was uncertain what would happen if they fought...
But that wasn't all. Eggy had switched her power system to that of the Multiverse, no longer tied to her world. The Demon King had severed all ties, which was surprising given his status as a super world Rank 9...
(Haaaa...)
Sighing internally, Yuki felt envious. He, too, wanted some of the Demon King's power. Est and now Eggy were cheating. They were gaining power easily while he risked his life for it...
(No matter, if they are strong, so am I...)
In the end, Yuki resigned himself. It would be pathetic to envy his women for their success. Instead, this motivated him to become stronger, or else he wouldn't remain the boss...
"You! How dare you call me that..."
Eggy was furious, grinding her teeth and stomping the ground, her face reddening with anger...
(I was a fool to have expectations of this guy!)
She had been trying her best to earn at least a compliment from him, but instead, he called her a small fry. This irritated her...
(At least compliment me on my outfit!)
Her black feather skirt now had a small, beautiful, and shiny tail. Eggy wiggled her hips a bit to make it noticeable, but unfortunately, Yuki didn't notice...
If Yuki knew what this world spirit was thinking, he would surely sigh helplessly. It wasn't his fault for not noticing something like that at this moment...
"Master, it has begun...."
"Good..."
Fortunately, Est arrived to save the day, informing that all the chains had been broken and the Demon King was about to emerge...
"I leave it to you, Eggy..."
Handing over the Ocarina, Yuki smiled. Eggy, on the other hand, accepted the Ocarina but still refused to look at him...
"Hmph... I'll handle it."
