The Strange Cat from Fuuto

Serena, who was looking in the direction Wajima was referring to, was startled, because the shadows that had been blocking the sun were rapidly fading away, and the pillars of light that had stood at the four corners of Tokyo were slowly disappearing.

"Looks like that guy's done!" Serena muttered to herself, her anxiety and worry lessening somewhat.

"Then we can't linger here any longer!" Serena took out her phone and dialed her secretary, Xiaotao: "Hello, it's me."

"I'm stuck here, get me a helicopter!"

...........

"Waaaaah~~waaaah~~~"

The melodious flute music carried a hint of anticipation, but after the infinite brilliance shone through, the magic circle of the Witch's Banquet was disrupted, and the flute music turned into noisy sound waves due to the chaotic magic.

Amidst the raging sound waves, Fueki Kanade, due to being the ritual's presiding officer, was violently blasted away by the sudden counterattack of magic.

"Damn it, what's going on?"

As he sat up, Fumiko looked at the sun in the sky with surprise and uncertainty.

"No, this shouldn't be!"

"That shouldn't be!"

The magic that had just begun to flow into Alex's body suddenly dissipated, and Alex's suspended body plummeted rapidly toward the altar.

Just as Alex was about to fall, a pair of strong, powerful hands caught him around the waist and pulled him into their arms.

"Forehead.."

With a soft moan, Alex looked up and saw the figure nestled against him, and whispered, "Is it you, Haruko?"

"It's me. I've come to take you home, back to the Shadow Hall!"

The priest, who had gently set Alex down, turned to face Fueki Kanade, who exclaimed in disbelief, "Haruto Misaki?!"

"Yes, it's me!"

The mage lifted his robes of infinity and raised his hand to reveal the Infinity Ring on his left hand. "Thanks to you, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to obtain this power!"

"That's impossible. How could you, who have already fully evolved, obtain that kind of power?"

"Because I am the last hope!"

With a flick of his wrist, the mage took a step and ran towards Fueki Kanade. Fueki Kanade stomped the ground in frustration, "I'm not reconciled! I was so close to succeeding! So close to succeeding! Why won't you accept your fate!"

Holding a flute-sword, he roared hoarsely at the flute music the mage unleashed, "Tell me, why?!"

"Because the power of magic is used to protect others!"

The mage, who had used the wristband to block the flute sword, kicked out, and Fueki Kanade, who was kicked in the abdomen, staggered backward while roaring: "Is it wrong for parents to want to bring their children back?"

"Your actions are not wrong, but all of this should not be built on the suffering of others!" The mage clashed with Fueki Kanade again, using fists, feet, knees, and elbows, and the fight was evenly matched with Fueki Kanade.

Having dodged the stab from the flute, the mage quickly stepped back and raised his right arm horizontally: "Come on, dragon!"

The dragon flew out of the mage's body, and countless magical particles gathered in front of him. The mage reached in and squeezed hard.

As the light shattered, he caught a weapon that resembled both an axe and a sword in his hand.

After grazing the blade of the Brilliant Sword Axe, the mage swept his left hand across his waist: "Infinity!"

The mage, who used magic to disrupt the flow of time, transformed into a streak of light and flashed past Fueki Kanade. Before Fueki Kanade could even notice what had happened, she was struck heavily in the chest by a sword.

"Did you disrupt the flow of time?" Fueki Kanade touched the sword wound on her chest, her tone filled with hatred. "You think you can defeat me like this?"

"I've been playing along with your little squabbles all this time, which has really given you a strange sense of confidence!"

After saying that, Fueki Kanade's magical power suddenly erupted, unleashing bursts of energy that scraped away two inches of the ground beneath his feet.

"Oh!"

A beam of light struck the body of the god Fueki, who was unleashing his magic. Miku, sitting on the central pillar of the ceremony, slowly spoke, twirling a wisp of starlight between his fingertips: "One can't beat you, so what about two?"

Chapter 87: Gaia Start!

"If one can't beat you, what about two?"

Miku, her fingertips twirling a wisp of starlight, sat cross-legged on a stone pillar, one leg dangling. Fueki, glancing back at Miku, scoffed, "Whether it's one or two, it's all futile before absolute power!"

Even as he spoke, Fumiko continued to unleash his magic with all his might. The solidified magic surged forth from his body like smoke rising from the ground, transforming into a thick column of smoke that shot straight into the sky.

As magic permeated the air, the ground sank, and even the wind became viscous and suffocating.

"Oh dear, this is really scary!"

Miku waved his hand in front of his nose, looking terrified, but his tone was actually full of mockery.

"While you can still speak, say as much as you can, because after this, you'll never have the chance to speak again!"

The White Demon, who spoke indifferently, glanced at Miku and then focused more of his attention on the Mage.

The mage's current power is both unfathomable and something he greatly fears!

After all, the most terrifying thing is always the unknown!

When you don't know the other party's strength or weakness, the one that poses the least threat should be dealt with first!

With this thought in mind, White Demon turned his gaze to Miku. Miku paused, then chuckled angrily, "So you're planning to deal with me first?"

"You really think I'm someone easy to bully!"

Before Miku could finish speaking, Dimu Zou had already vanished from his spot. Seeing this, the mage exclaimed in surprise, "So fast!"

"That's pretty fast!"

He drew the Physics Holy Sword from his waist with a backhand motion, and amidst the starlight, it collided with the flute sword that Fueki Kanade had suddenly appeared behind him.

"Very good reaction!" Fueki Kanade praised calmly. Miku chuckled and said, "Don't try to out-react with me, you can't afford to play that game!"

Its tail shot out swiftly from behind, heading straight for Fueki Kanade's face. The starlight-wrapped tail possessed the power to split mountains and shatter rocks.

Fueki Kanade did not even consider dodging Miku's sudden attack. A flash of light appeared on her amber-colored mask, and her tail, carrying starlight, slammed into her without leaving a single scratch.

Instead, it was as if there was an invisible glass between them, and ripples spread through the air.

"You really look down on people!"

Miku, whose tail hovered over Fueki Kanade's face, snorted coldly. Fueki Kanade retorted sarcastically, "What gave you the luck to fight me? Was it the battle at the factory last time?"

When Dimu began to speak, the force in his hand suddenly increased. By the time Miku realized that the other party's strength had increased, the Star Scepter had already been pressed back.

"Oh!"

When Miku was being forcefully suppressed by Dimu, he was kicked hard in the stomach.

As the dull thud of flesh striking flesh rang out, Miku was kicked off the stone pillar.

"boom!"

Miku, who had smashed a deep crater in the ground, lay on its back inside. After its tail twitched, the cat let out a muffled groan: "When was the last time I got beaten up?"

"I've almost forgotten about it!"

Are you alright, Miku?

Before the mage, who was trying to help Miku, could even reach her, Miku waved her hand and said, "It's alright, don't worry about me!"

"I've been a bit lax lately, and my body isn't reacting as well!" Miku, slowly getting out of the pit, rubbed his back and moved around.

"Are you really alright?"

The mage, still somewhat uneasy, spoke again, but Miku waved his hand and said, "It's alright, and now I need to get serious!"

With that, Miku deactivated her transformation and returned to her original cat form.

"Why do you want to undo the transformation?" The mage asked in surprise, looking at Miku in confusion. Miku turned around and smiled at the mage.

"Are you preparing to give up the fight?"

Dimu Zou darted from the stone pillar to within a few steps of Miku. Miku chuckled and said, "Give up?"

"No, no, no, I just feel that my knight form is too restrictive and I can't play freely at all!"

"Can't unleash his full potential?" Staring dumbfounded at Miku who had deactivated his transformation, the mage couldn't quite understand what he was doing.

Are you holding back?

You're practically asking for it!

"I've told you before, all my power is my own; not a single bit comes from you!"

Miku shook his head and squinted at Fueki Kanade. Fueki Kanade scoffed and said, "Your power is all your own?"

"You would never have grown to this point without my permission!"

"No, my evolution doesn't need anyone's permission!"

Miku sat proudly in front of Dimu Zou, his body enveloped in a turquoise hexagonal halo.

"What is this?"

Feeling the inexplicable pressure emanating from Miku's body, Fueki Kanade looked at Miku with some suspicion.

Although the pressure was faint, it gave him the illusion of facing a top predator.

As the halo spread, Miku's body was enveloped in light, and his body quickly twisted and stretched into a human form.

"Shh!"

With a single wave of his arm, he tore away the light emanating from his body, revealing a golden-faced, fanged monster draped in a cloak with star patterns before the mage and Fueki Kanade.

"Aww, this is the most comfortable way to look!"

Miku stretched his limbs and let out a pleasant sigh. Seeing Miku like this, Fueki Kanade was a little puzzled, because Miku looked very familiar to him.

How could I not be familiar with it?

Our base was bombed once, right up close!

"Alright, let's begin round two!"

Miku, lifting his coat, spread his arms out flat. Fueki Kanade sneered, "You really have no shame!"

"Even if I don't know where your power comes from, do you think you can beat me?"
