Even if you're a corrupted magical girl, you still have to try to redeem yourself.

The two-colored water flowed continuously down the wand, washing over Saintine's body and diminishing the magic power around her.

Although the effect was minimal.

The fact that so many magical girls combined their efforts couldn't break through Seishin's defenses at all reminded many people of the Sanctuary-shaped monster that Asahimi had created before.

Even though they had given it their all, their attacks were completely blocked by Saint Shion.

Is there anyone else? Is there anyone else who can step in?

Inuyama Tomoe glanced around out of the corner of her eye.

The nuns and magical girls who rushed to the scene because of Asahimi's summons did not follow. Perhaps they were still responsible for taking care of Gen Urobuchi and Asahimi, or perhaps they had not received any further orders. Either way, it was good news for Tomoe.

If you have to suppress Saintess while enduring those guys' harassment, that would be true hellish difficulty.

That alone is already very difficult!

Inuyama Baqi tried with all her might to press her wand down further, hoping to make the sharp blade cut into Saintine's skin, but the mist was like an insurmountable cliff, preventing Baqi from using her strength.

Oh, and that guy's still there!

"Birdman! Stop standing there! Get to work! Get to work now!"

Inuyama Tomoe shouted with all her might at the guy behind her, who she didn't know if he was following.

Her call was answered immediately.

"But, Master, she..."

"Is this what your master is like?! Think about it now! Look at the situation we've created! If we hadn't stopped her, your master would never have come back!"

As Baqi shouted, she could already feel the black mist becoming more resistant to her, and the downward-pressing wand was pushed up several centimeters.

This made Bage dare not be distracted again, and she tried to press her wand down hard once more with both hands.

After a moment of silence, the runic greatsword, accompanied by feathers, crashed down.

That's right!

As Baqi thought to herself, she tightened her grip even more.

However, when Baqi suddenly exerted her strength, she felt as if there was an empty space in front of her, and she immediately lost her point of leverage. The spear blade slashed down in the direction she had exerted her strength.

Saint Shiyin, who should have been fighting against him, suddenly disappeared.

Even if everyone notices it sooner or later, it's too late to stop.

The magical girls, having lost their purpose, clashed with their misplaced magic, creating a deafening roar and tearing sound, interspersed with a few cries of pain.

"There it is!"

Sakura Hanako, who did not directly participate in the siege but consistently used her abilities to help the other magical girls, saw what was happening from a distance and was the first to shout out.

What she saw was Saint Shiyin suddenly disappear from the crowd's encirclement and then reappear on the other side of the battlefield.

The girls all turned their heads and watched as Sheng Shiyin, shrouded in black mist, gripped her wrists and moved them repeatedly, as if she were getting used to her current body.

"How did she do that? How did she appear there all of a sudden?" Helica looked at the other magical girls standing with her with a puzzled expression.

“The power of time…this is Yog-Sothoth’s power.” After all, Inuyama Tomoe had fought against Utsuki Mashiro with Yuuki Yuki before, so she was very familiar with this feeling and immediately gave the correct answer: “Sei-shi-on is now able to use the power of the Three Pillar Gods.”

Bad news, absolutely bad news.

When everyone fought against Lin Jiezi before, Lin Jiezi didn't use any of her abilities. She fought the other magical girls entirely with her fists and feet. Even so, she defeated the other magical girls so badly that they only had the strength to run away and no chance to fight back.

The fact that Saint Hymn can now use abilities, and even "powers" capable of altering reality, is something that others don't even want to think about, or what consequences it might cause.

"What should we do then?" Nishio Reki asked.

"Never mind what abilities she has, subdue her first," Sumireko Yumehara replied immediately.

Perhaps everything went too smoothly, or perhaps everyone's attention was focused on Sheng Shiyin, causing them to miss even the most basic problem.

Until Inuyama Tomoe subconsciously called out that name.

"Xiaoyuan, what do you think?"

Only now did everyone realize that while they had been fighting against Seishin with all their might for so long, Yuuki Yukino, one of the main characters in this farce, had not caught up.

Chapter 230 The Fall

When Yuuki Yukino witnessed Gen Ken Mashiro throwing her soul and magic power out of her, she already sensed something was wrong.

At the same moment, Yuuki Yuuki seemed to understand why such a thing had just happened.

Although Yuuki Yukari couldn't explain where her intuition came from, she was able to understand what Urobuchi Mashiro was doing.

To give a simple example, Mashiro Gorky's previous actions were like conducting an extremely meticulous experiment, with every step done flawlessly, as any mistake would affect the final experimental results.

However, if someone were to stop the experiment at this point, then whether the outcome is controllable would become less important. Mashiro's goal has shifted from completing the experiment without incident to "completing the experiment." No matter how brutal the process, Mashiro must obtain a result.

This is how Mashiro Gorgen used her method after adjusting her psychological expectations.

Yuuki Yui had no way of knowing what Urouge Mashiro's original plan was, but from the moment Seishine got up, no, from the moment Asahimi transferred her part of her power to Seishine, the situation had already gone berserk.

It's only natural that the erroneous experiment would cause a rampage. If Saint Shion were allowed to continue causing trouble, it would definitely affect the entire Moonsea City. So much corrupt power and the circulating magic of all the magical girls in Moonsea City being applied to the same person is no joke.

Although Yuuki Yui had no idea that Urouge Mashiro's initial plan was to use a large amount of magic power to make Seishion lose control, and then use an excessive amount of magic power to turn Seishion, who had absorbed so much power, into a time bomb, and finally have Urouge Mashiro press that button himself.

It's probably impossible for Mashiro to press that button now, but a bomb isn't always detonated by a remote control. A collision, a mistake, anything is possible.

Yuuki Yui didn't know these details, but she knew one thing: letting Seishin go berserk like this, whether it was having the magical girls fight Seishin or letting Seishin cause a huge scene, was absolutely not going to work.

I need to stop them quickly.

Then, I...

What's going on? Why is my body suddenly acting out of control?

When the thought popped into Yuuki Yukino's mind, she suddenly felt her feet sink into the air, as if she were stepping on thin air.

Although magical girls possess the ability to fly, and Yuuki Yui was indeed standing on air, from a certain moment onward, no magic power continued to support her body, allowing her to continue moving forward in the air. Instead, Yuuki Yui felt as if she had suddenly fallen into an abyss.

Even if what lies below is not a bottomless abyss, but the streets of Moonsea City, there is no doubt that Yuuki Eri is accelerating her descent.

At the edge of Yuuki Yuuki's vision, the magical girls rushing towards Seishin grew smaller and smaller, while the sound of the wind in her ears grew louder and louder. Yuuki Yuuki's ears were filled with this noise, and she couldn't hear any other sounds at all.

Yuuki Yui's magical attire was rapidly fading. Her original black and red shrine maiden outfit was now a deathly gray. As Yuuki Yui fell, the strong winds blowing past her scattered like dandelions, revealing the loose coat she had worn when she left home. As she continued to fall, the wind made it even more disheveled and messy.

Yuuki Yukino was secretly surprised that her transformation had actually been canceled on its own?

Surprised, Yuuki Yukino instantly realized what had happened to her.

It means that I can no longer control the magic power within my body normally.

This feeling is different from when Yuuki Yuuki wasn't a magical girl and couldn't sense magic. If I had to describe it, it would be more like the horse Yuuki Yuuki was riding suddenly got startled. Yuuki Yuuki could feel it was carrying her and moving around wildly, but no matter how much Yuuki Yuuki pulled on the reins, she couldn't get any response. The wild horse just kept running around wildly on its own.

Yuuki Yui could now clearly feel the magical energy within her body surging and flowing erratically, as if it were about to burst out of her body.

The only one who could cause this change in herself is Sheng Shiyin.

Is it because most of the power of the Primordial Darkness has entered into Saintess's body, that the last part she possesses has also begun to become restless?

Yes, it should be so. The shattered power of the Primordial Darkness instinctively wanted to piece itself back together, which is why it turned out this way.

No wonder Mashiro Urokin said it didn't matter if he didn't cooperate with her. In fact, she didn't need his cooperation at all. That part of the power would find its own place on its own. It's just that if he could cooperate with Mashiro Urokin, it would be a little easier for her.

It seems a bit too late to think about these things now.

Putting aside what will happen after the Primordial Darkness returns to its original state, before Nyarlathotep's power returns within him, he will be unable to use magic and will fall straight down, turning into a puddle of mud that no one can recognize.

If it weren't for Sheng Shiyin, his power wouldn't have suddenly gone out of control. And Sheng Shiyin's sudden awakening attracted everyone's attention, which is why no one noticed that his transformation had ended.

Tsk, this is a dead end.

First, clear your mind of all the random thoughts and try your best to control the power within you.

Even though Yuuki Yui thought so, when she calmed down and tried to control the magic power in her body, it felt like she was desperately trying to grasp a handful of sand. The tighter she held on, the more it would slip through her fingers.

The howling wind beside Yuuki Yukino grew louder and louder, almost shattering her eardrums. Under the dual interference of noise and inner anxiety, Yuuki Yukino couldn't calm down and wake up, let alone properly calm down that restless magic.

So how many seconds did I fall?

No! No! Don't think about that. Try harder and see if you can control your strength again.

Yuuki Yui bit her lower lip hard, curled her body into a ball, and secretly opened her eyes a crack to peek at the distance between herself and the ground.

The feeling of suddenly facing one's own end without knowing it is completely different from watching the end of the world approach.

When Yuuki Yuuki realized that she was only a few meters away from the ground, her first feeling was one of despair.

But amidst despair, Yuuki Yukino's heart suddenly calmed down.

That's right, in this situation where you can't rely on anything, there is still one way.

She completely gave up trying to control the magic within her body, instead clasping her hands together and gently closing her eyes once more.

When Yuuki Yuuki could rely on nothing, the power hidden in the palm of her hand answered her call.

The red string ring worn on the girl's ring finger suddenly emitted a cherry blossom-colored light, spreading out from the girl's knuckles and transforming into a huge red ball of thread that wrapped around Yuuki Yuki.

However, the tangled ball of threads only lasted for a moment before it shattered into broken spider lilies on the ground. As Yuuki Enishi fell to the ground, her incomplete transformation automatically ended, replaced by an even louder protest from the magic power within her.

Using Enmusubi under these circumstances is like trying to withstand a heavy blow with an injured arm; it will only worsen Enmusubi's condition.

But at least I wasn't smashed to pieces from that fall, so I guess I can be thankful for that...

No! There's nothing to be thankful for at all!

There is another person in the same situation as Yuuki Yuki, but this person does not have the same means of self-rescue as Yuuki Yuki.

Lin Jiezi possesses a portion of primordial power within her. If Yuki Eri's power is drawn to Seishine, then Lin Jiezi will be no exception.

Yuki Yukino had already caught a glimpse of Hayashi Keko, who was a few meters away from her, falling rapidly and about to hit the ground.

Yuuki Yuuki lunged toward Hayashi Mustard, trying to activate the Enmusubi on her finger once more, but the surging magic within her made her legs feel as if they were no longer her own. She couldn't even support her body, let alone run.

At the same moment Yuki Eri fell, she saw that Hayashi Keiko's body was almost touching the cold ground.

puff.

A flash of light streaked past Yuuki Yuki's eyes, striking Lin Jiezi, who was just a step away from the ground. It also forcibly reversed Lin Jiezi's falling direction, carrying her away to the side.

Yuuki Yukino, who hadn't transformed, couldn't possibly capture what had happened at that moment. When she looked in the direction of the flashing light, she found that Hayashi Kizuko had been hung on a nearby street lamp.

To be precise, a lance pierced through Lin Jiezi's coat, pinning the coat and Lin Jiezi to the lamppost.

Fortunately, the lance only pierced Lin Jiezi's coat and did not harm Lin Jiezi herself. The powerful force also forcibly offset the impact of Lin Jiezi's fall, allowing Lin Jiezi to barely stay safe.
