The Strange Cat from Fuuto

"You don't need to tell me these things, because you won't live to see that time!"

With a cold reply, Fumiko turned and disappeared from Fa-jie's sight. When she reappeared, she was already at the center of the Witch's Banquet ceremony, where a pale-faced Alex lay quietly asleep on the altar like Sleeping Beauty.

"Soon, my daughter. Soon you will be back by my side!" As Fueki Kanade bent down to touch Alex's cheek, the tenderness in her eyes faded, and she transformed.

After transforming, Fueki Kanade took out the Eclipse Ring and put it on the middle finger of her right hand. She then pushed the lever to reset the wheel and placed her right hand on it.

"Eclipse Now!"

A tangible purple magic surged from Fueki Sou's body, surging towards the sun.

A faint shadow quickly appeared around the sun, which was tainted by purple magic, and the eclipse accelerated as the magic of the flute music surged forth.

In just a few breaths, the shadow completely obscured the sun, and the sky darkened as a result.

"Let the Witch's Banquet begin!"

He raised the flute sword to his lips and began to play with all his might.

"Waaaaah~~waaaah~..."

The melodious flute music drifted into the distance, while the magical runes on the four altars began to flicker.

“It’s begun!” Staring at the flashing magic runes in front of him, Miku’s face was neither sad nor happy, but his eyes were like a golden ocean.

"Boom!!!"

As the stone platform trembled, inexplicable fluctuations spread outwards. The materialized magic power within Miku's body was drawn out by the altar and poured into it.

"Buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz!"

Four beams of light of the same thickness shot into the sky from the four corners of Tokyo, one after the other, and when viewed from above, a huge circular magic circle slowly began to take shape.

"Forehead!"

Despite letting out a cry of pain, Miku showed no sign of suffering; instead, he looked up at the sky with excitement.

"Reach the pinnacle of hope and plunge into the depths of despair!"

Just as Miku was about to speak, a dazzling pillar of light suddenly appeared from the direction of the altar of the Fa Jie, shattering one of the four pillars of light in the ceremony.

"Hey, he actually succeeded!"

Chapter 86: Two against one, are you scared yet?!

"Shh!"

The sound of Fueki Kanade teleporting away with magic echoed in the ears of the magician. After a while, the magician opened her eyes and stared at Tokyo in the distance, a trace of sadness in her eyes.

"A magician's power is meant to protect others, not to be a tool!"

"But why don't you understand, Dimu?!" Muttering to herself, Sister Fa slumped against the stone pillar behind her.

"Waaaaah..."

The melodious flute music drifted from afar, and at the same time, the stone platform in front of the mage trembled violently, and the magical incantations engraved on it lit up along with the flute music.

One after another, the lit-up incantations quickly connected to form a circle. The moment the circle appeared, Sister Fa let out a muffled groan as the magic power within her body was drawn out of her body by the magic circle engraved on the stone platform.

The magic-wielding mage heard the mournful howl of the demonic dragon echoing in her ears, and even transformed into the form of a wind dragon in a flash of light.

A pillar of light, powered by the magic of the Fa Jie, rose from the ground and shot straight into the clouds.

At the same time, three other pillars of light rose up from the ground one after the other, and with the mutual resonance of the four magical powers, a huge magic circle began to emerge from below Tokyo.

In the sky, the sun was obscured by shadows, and dark red cracks appeared on the ground. As the cracks spread, everyone within their range, whether ordinary people or [the Gate], displayed contorted expressions of pain, and wails of agony rose and fell.

"What is this?!"

"Ouch, it hurts so much!"

"Someone save me! Someone save me!"

"Mother!!!"

......

In her Wind Dragon form, the mage's senses were incredibly sharp, and she clearly picked up on the wails. Following the sound, she saw faces filled with pain, despair, and distortion.

Why did this happen?!

Despite the excruciating pain of her magic being continuously drained from her body, a sorrow as vast as the ocean filled Sister Fa's eyes.

Why?!

"The power of magic should have brought joy and happiness to everyone, and been used to protect us!!!"

Like a dying beast howling, tears welled up in the eyes of the mage, slowly streaming down her faceplate towards the ground.

"Power, I need even greater power. The power to end all of this!" As she spoke, the dragon's wail slowly faded from the mage's ears.

With her eyes closed, the mage appeared in her dark inner world, and the demonic dragon emerged from nothingness.

The magic was drained, making the dragon appear somewhat illusory.

The dragon, its jaws agape, spoke in a deep voice: "Haruto, are you really sure about this?"

"If you do that and fail, you might face an abyss of no return!"

"I'm ready, Dragon!" The mage, her eyes flashing with determination, stretched out her hand towards the dragon and said, "No matter what, I have to take this step, because now, no one but me can save them!"

"After all, I am..." The mage raised her hand, revealing a ring: "My last hope!"

"Very good, I have witnessed your resolve. Then let us become one completely!"

"Here you go, all of this is mine!"

"Thanks, Demon Dragon!"

With her arms outstretched, the mage embraced the dragon as if welcoming a lover into her arms.

The demonic dragon surged into the mage's body, transforming into a dazzling light and vanishing. Simultaneously, a radiant, diamond-like light emanated from the mage's body!

In reality, the mage, whose eyes on her visor suddenly lit up, screamed, "Ah!!!"

A vast and oppressive magical power surged from her body, and a ring as dazzling as a diamond flew out from her chest and hovered in front of her.

Is this my last hope?

Sister Fa raised her hand, grasped the ring, and carefully put it on the middle finger of her left hand. As she slowly reset the roulette wheel, she struggled to leap upwards, while simultaneously flipping her body to the side.

"Buzz!"

The ring on her left hand flashed across the drive wheel at the mage's waist, and at the same time, a loud magical chant resounded through the sky.

"Infinity Please!"

"Infinity!"

"Infinity!"

"Infinity!"

........

Amidst a loud and rhythmic chant, a dragon made entirely of diamonds appeared from the sky, roared, and then plummeted down towards the mage.

"Roar!"

Amidst the roar, a complex array of lights, like magic circles, shimmered with diamond-like brilliance and slowly rose from beneath the mage's feet.

Everywhere the magic circle touched was covered with bulky diamond crystals. But beneath the crystals lay incredibly powerful robes and armor.

"boom!"

After the magic circle passed through the mage, the crystal covering her body shattered, revealing her infinite form.

Its head resembles an infinity ring, and its armor is a crystallization of the magic power of a mage and a dragon. The infinity robes wrapped around it shimmer even in the dim light.

"This power!"

Feeling the surging power within him, the mage clenched his fist in excitement.

"With this power, I will be able to put an end to this tragedy!"

Before the words had even finished, the mage's figure had vanished. Using his infinite magical powers to disrupt the flow of time, the mage transformed into a streak of light, traversing the entire city and heading towards where Fueki was.

Because one of the four pillars was missing, the magic circle of the Witch's Banquet was not supplied with enough magic power, and the other three pillars of light only flickered for a moment before shrinking back into the bodies of the other two people and the cat.

"call..."

After breaking free of his chains, Miku, in his XIV form, jumped off the altar.

“Now I don’t need to activate either of my backup plans!” Miku clapped his hands together, tilted his head, and looked at the center where the magic had gathered, a hint of killing intent in his eyes: “Then it’s time to settle the score!”

As he spoke, Miku's tail swayed, and a golden light flashed by.

At the same time, due to the surge of magic, several seals in Inamori Mayu's mind, which had broken through Fueki Kanade's brainwashing magic, were also loosened.

As a flood of fragmented memories rushed into her mind, Inamori Mayu cried out in pain and collapsed to the ground.

"What on earth is going on?" Mayu Inamori muttered to herself, looking around in confusion. This was a corner of the seaside, the sea breeze blowing in her face shaking her long hair, and smelling the salty and damp air.

Mayu Inamori stubbornly got up, but with so much magic drained, she had very little strength left. The girl stumbled and almost fell, but was supported by a pair of warm and strong hands.

"elder sister?"

"Mayu, let's go home!"

Wearing a tracksuit and with her hair in a ponytail, Inamori Misa smiled at Inamori Mayu, who nodded vigorously with an excited expression: "Yeah!"

The two left the beach, supporting each other. Medusa, with her arms around each other's shoulders, emerged from behind a tree and looked at the two walking away with a hint of envy in her eyes.

But this hint of envy was quickly overshadowed by hatred: "It's not the right time yet, it's not the right time yet!"

Muttering to herself, Medusa looked up at the ending solar eclipse, found a direction, and slowly walked away.

Torii-zaka, a highway.

"Damn it, why does it have to be now of all times when there's no traffic jam!"

Serena slammed her hand on the steering wheel, a fierce glint in her eyes. At that moment, Wajima Shigeru looked out the window at the sky and patted her on the shoulder, saying, "Serena, look outside!"

"Outside?"
