Negi safely landed on the ground using his magic. But as soon as he looking to his right side.

"Hello Negi," Kotaro said. "I'm really happy! To fight you again this quickly."

Kotaro Inugamj is already right next to Negi in battle-mode.

"Ko-Kotaro?" Negi said.

(This is really bad!) Negi said in his heart.

"Jovis Tempestas Salamandra!"

Rin exerted fire storm magic right at the demon.The firestorm immediately burned and eliminated three quarters of the demons that surrounded her, Setsuna and Asuna.

"Ougi! Raimeiken!" Saw an opportunity to attack, Setsuna immediately mobilized the strongest move she had, to defeat the remaining demon that was not hit by Rin's firestorm.

"Trace On!" Asuna mobilized the reinforcement magic once again, and helped Setsuna to attack the remaining demon using her harisen.

All of the demons surrounding the three of them were finally defeated. With a good combo from the three of them.

"Are you okay, Asuna, Setsuna?" Rin asked.

"No problem, we're fine!" Asuna answered.

"Yes, Me and Asuna are okay!" Setsuna answered. "It's just that even though the enemies that surround us are gone, there are plenty other demon that has left!"

"That's right," Rin said."The demon we facing next is stronger, than the demon we destroyed earlier. "

"Your words are correct little lady!" Said one of the demon who suddenly swung his sword at Asuna.

"Gyaaa!" said Asuna, who had difficulty resisting the demon attack.

"Asuna!" Rin said, "Hold on, I'll help you!"

"You better not talk too much, lady!" A large demon carrying a mace suddenly attacked Rin and made Rin have to retreat backwards and couldn't help Asuna.

"You are quite strong a warrior from Shinmei!" A demon woman wearing a fox mask attacked Setsuna in a barrage using tonfa, causing Setsuna to be pressured.

(The levels of these demons are completely different from the demons we fought before, Rin-san's words are true!) Said Setsuna in her heart.

Archer arrived at the place where Chigusa performed the ritual to summon Ryomen Sukuna no Kami. Konoka was tied to the table and her magic power was absorbed as fuel for the ritual.

Archer ran towards Chigusa who was concentrating on casting a spell quickly about to make Chigusa unconscious and take Konoka away. Although Archer was confused about whereabout the white-haired young man who was supposed to be Chigusa bodyguard went.

When Archer is only 1 meter away from Chigusa. From the left and right of Archer a fairly large piece of stone that looks very sharp appears that pointing right at his head.

"Trace On!" Archer quickly brought up Kanshou and Bakuya and then Archer destroyed the two pieces of stone that led to his head in an instant using Kanshou and Bakuya which he swung with incredible speed.

"Incredible reflexes," Said the white-haired young man who suddenly appeared in front of Archer. "From the body movements and fighting ability that you showed earlier you were a very well-trained soldier, but who are you really is? Your existence is something I didn't have in my database."

"Who I really is, you must find it yourselves," said Archer who dashing towards the white-haired youth and slashed Kanshou and Bakuya towards the young man.

"Because I'm just an Archer! "

The attack from Archer was held back by an invisible magic wall protecting the white-haired youth. But because Kanshou and Bakuya were no ordinary weapons, the white-haired youth's magic wall began to crack, making the white-haired youth slightly moving backward.

The white-haired young man then attacked Archer again using sharp pieces of stone, but this time the pieces of stone were much smaller and the numbers were far more and the pieces of stone attacked Archer from all directions.

Knowing himself is in danger, Archer make Kanshou and Bakuya disappear then bringing up Silfarion. Using the high speed effect that appears when using Silfarion, Archer avoids all pieces of stone that lead to him.

"You call yourself Archer," said the white-haired youth. "But strangely you're actually using a sword, it really doesn't make sense."

"I'm really tired of hearing those words," Archer said. "But to save Konoka, I must defeat you!"

Archer reappeared Kanshou and Bakuya in his hand then shot towards the white-haired youth.

"Your words are full of courage," said the white-haired young man, "but you're still weaker than me."

The white-haired young man also shot towards Archer and turned his hand into a long piece of stone shaped like a spear.

When the white-haired youth and Archer faced each other, Kanshou and Bakuya clashed with the hands of the white-haired youth who turned into a stone spear.

Both of them are quite equal, it's just that the strength possessed by the white-haired youth is greater than Archer's. Archer have a difficulty against the white-haired youth.

(The white-haired young man is not serious but it's already this strong! Even though I'm also not serious yet, with my condition that just came out and still getting used to this body it would be very difficult for me to defeat that young man! It seems that for the time being I will not be able to save the girl named Konoka.) Archer said in his heart.

Setsuna really had a hard time fighting a demon woman wearing a fox mask, the power of that woman's demon was truly on par with her. And when Setsuna saw a pillar of very bright light appearing in the distance. The uneasy feelings she felt grew worse.

"What are those pillars of light?" Said Setsuna.

"It seems that Miss Chigusa's plan is proceeding smoothly," Said Tsukuyomi who suddenly appeared behind Setsuna. "And Setsuna-senpai's group failed to prevent the plan of Miss Chigusa."

"Tsukuyomi!" Setsuna shouted. "Why are you here!"

"Of course, to fight you again, senpai!" Tsukuyomi said.

"Damn it!" Rin said, "This demon is really tough!"

Rin really felt frustrated against the large-bodied demon in front of her. All her magical attacks were held or avoided. If only she hadn't used her artifacts from pactio with Shirou, she would have run out of gems for the magic catalyst and been killed by the demon in front of her.

"High level magic attacks continuously using gemstone catalysts that seem endless!" said the big-bodied demon. "You really pissed me off, miss!"

"Aaaarrrkh!" Shouted Asuna who was currently being strangled in the neck by the karasu tengu she was fighting.

"Asuna!" Rin and Setsuna shouted.

"Without your harisen, you are really weak, miss!" Said karasu tengu, which Asuna fought against.

(Shit, we really are doomed!) Said Setsuna in her heart.

(Shirou-sama, the three of us are in a really bad state!)

"Duuuaaaaagh!"

Negi and Kotaro fight each other's fists and blows for a few minutes. No one loses or wins when the two face each other.

"Why Negi!" Kotaro said, "Why you didn't fight me seriously!"

"I don't have time to fight you Kotaro!" Negi said. "So move out! I have to save Konoka-san!"

"Don't say that, Negi!" Kotaro said.

"Kotaro why are you helping Chigusa?" Negi said. "She is evil and heartless why you on her side?"

"I don't care what Chigusa-nee-san does!" Kotaro said. "I only conspired with her because she said that I could fight a strong person!"

"And meeting you is a precious opportunity for me!" Kotaro said.

"A valuable opportunity?" Negi asked. "What do you mean Kotaro?"

"An opportunity to meet someone as strong as me who is in my age!" Kotaro answered. "So let's fight!"

"Sorry Kotaro, but I can't fight with you right now!" Negi said, "I have something to do right now!"

"You joking right?" Kotaro said. "After this mess is over there is no way you want to fight with me!"

Kotaro really became angry and immediately ran towards Negi to attack Negi. But before Kotaro could approach Negi, a giant fuma Shuriken suddenly appeared in front of Kotaro and blocked his run.

"What!?" Said Kotaro, who was shocked by the appearance of the fuma shuriken before him.

Without Kotaro realize in front of him there appeared a person who was quite tall and released a blow right in the chest making his body thrown backwards.

"Ukh, who just hit me!" Kotaro said. "Who are you!"

"Are you alright Negi-sensei?" Yue asked, being carried by Kaede Nagase the Koga ninja.

"Eeeeh, Yue-san and Kaede-san, why are you two here?" Negi asked.

"I the one who call her, Negi-Sensei," Yue answered.

"You fight pretty well sensei," said Kaede. "But for now leave this fight to me, now you better go save Konoka-dono! "

"Okay!" Negi said. "Thank you very much, Kaede-san!"

Negi then ran towards the pillar of light visible in the distance coming from the summoning ritual performed by Chigusa.

"Ah!" Kotaro said. "Negi don't run!"

Kotaro got ready to chase Negi, but Kaede was instantly appear in front of Kotaro and blocked him so he couldn't pass.

"Hey Onee-san! Don't interfere," Kotaro said, "I have no interest in fighting women!"

"Fufufu Kotaro-kun, is that your name?" Said Kaede."If you want to chase Negi you have to face me first! Kaede Nagase Chuunin from Koga! "

Kaede uses Kagebunshin in front of Kotaro, making it even more difficult for him to get past Kaede to chase Negi.

"Heh," Kotaro said. "Good!"

Kotaro responded to Kaede's words by bringing many Inugami out of his shadow and he prepared to fight Kaede.

"Hah, hah, hah," Rin felt that her stamina and magic energy had been left low due to the use of her artifacts that used large amounts of magic energy. Rin really want to immediately end her fight with the demons, but the large-bodied demons she fought were truly formidable and truly difficult to defeat.

"Dsiing!" The sound of the bullet hit right in the head of the karasu tengu that was suffocating Asuna can be heard.

"Arrrrgh!" The karasu tengu screamed in pain then let go of his hand that was suffocating Asuna, and immediately held his head hit by a bullet and a few seconds later the karasu tengu disappeared.

"Dsing!" one more bullet sounded and this time the bullet was aimed at the fox masked woman demon who fight with Setsuna before.

Quickly the fox masked woman's spirit reflected the bullet that was aimed at hed so that she did not suffer the same fate as karasu tengu.

"Damn it!" said the masked fox demon. "Who would dare to attack me with a spell-breaking bullet!"

"Ryusuitsen!" The large-bodied demon that Rin was fighting against got a sword strike coming from above, and the that attack struck the shoulders of the large-bodied demon, make the demon kneel and grimace in pain.

"Attacking me from above using a wooden sword without me realizing, plus being able to break through the defenses of my iron-hard body, who are you, actually a little girl?"

In front of the large demon, there was Saber who was holding a wooden sword with both hands.

"I'm just a swordsman who happened to be passing by," Saber said.

"Saber!" Rin said. "Took you so long to come here!"

"I'm sorry, Rin," Saber said. "It takes time to get a weapon that is suitable for me to use."

Meanwhile at Setsuna's place.

"You seemed to be having difficulty with Setsuna," Mana said Tatsumiya. "Let just make the cost of my help this time is free."

"Finally you came Tatsumiya!" Said Setsuna.

"Aiiyaa!" Gu Fei said next to Tatsumiya. "That giant looks tough aru!"
