What kind of magic? This is called cultivating immortality!

Cecilia's expression changed drastically. She quickly pushed Lin Guohui and Councilor Su into the elevator's safe area, then turned around and tried to suppress the mutating Jinmu.

But it was all too late.

Kaneki's figure had vanished from the spot, replaced by a bizarre monster with a ferocious face and shrouded in black mist.

Its aura had clearly reached the seven-star level!

Chapter 109 Anomaly

Facing the completely transformed Kaneki, Cecilia's gaze darkened, and a holy aura radiated from her like a blazing sun, colliding violently with the overwhelming negative aura.

One is righteous, the other is evil; they are locked in a fierce battle, neither willing to concede defeat.

With her spear in hand, Cecilia's voice was as cold as ice: "Kaneki, surrender! You still have a chance to turn back, don't make another mistake!"

"Roar!"

Her response was a roar devoid of all reason; Kaneki's eyes held no trace of human emotion, only pure violence and hunger.

He opened his blood-red maw, his white fangs humming and trembling with thirst for blood. The next second, his body shot out like a cannonball, his claws tearing through space, leaving behind a series of ferocious spatial rifts, straight for Cecilia's heart.

"Stubborn to the end!"

Cecilia snorted coldly and swept her spear horizontally.

The dazzling golden light bursting from the spear tip transformed into a sky full of beautiful rosy clouds, covering the sky and the earth. Wherever it passed, everything melted away and decayed.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Jinmu switched from offense to defense and disappeared into the void. However, the glow of the sunset had already sealed off the entire fourth floor, and he had nowhere to hide.

His somewhat disheveled figure was forced to reveal itself, the scorching sunlight burning his body with a sizzling sound that made your teeth ache, tearing open deep wounds that revealed the bone, from which blood gushed out.

At the critical moment of life and death, Jinmu's ferocity intensified. He dipped his finger in blood and suddenly unleashed a barrage of crimson moon blades, forcefully extinguishing the overwhelming radiance. At the same time, he snorted out two invisible waves of energy, directly attacking Cecilia's mind.

As soon as Cecilia broke through the moon blade, she felt the world turn upside down, the scene before her eyes distorted violently, and layers upon layers of phantoms covered the sky.

"Pfft!"

In the instant her mind went blank, Kaneki pounced on her fiercely, his sharp claws piercing through her chest cavity without any resistance.

Despite the excruciating pain, Cecilia remained silent, shutting out all her senses and relying solely on her honed fighting instincts to thrust her spear forward! The spear's force was sharp, precisely forcing back Jinmu, who intended to tear her apart.

Taking advantage of the brief moment, she quickly retreated, covering her chest with one hand the horrific, worsening, and bleeding wound.

Looking at the enemy figures before her, a jumble of illusions and layers upon layers, her fighting spirit only intensified: "I underestimated you. I thought you were at most a Seven-Star Calamity Beast, but I didn't expect you to be on par with a witch. Fine, since you insist on resisting, I'll cripple you first, and then interrogate you!"

As soon as she finished speaking, an even more powerful aura erupted from her body. The hideous wound on her chest, nourished by the surging magic, began to wriggle and heal at a visible speed, returning to its original state in an instant.

The mental attack that had just given her a headache crumbled instantly in the face of the amplified absolute power.

Cecilia's Unleashed Form is here!

Her eyes flashed like lightning, locking onto Jinmu, who was bending over and gathering his strength not far away, his ten fingers outstretched.

Cecilia made the first move, her spear tearing through the air, the solid space beneath her spear feeling like fragile cloth.

Kaneki roared and swung his claws, which could also tear through space, to meet him.

However, the moment the two made contact, it was struck as if by lightning.

Wow! Absolutely amazing!

The claws, capable of easily tearing through space, were crushed and shattered by the overwhelming power of the spear blade. The spear, however, continued its momentum, slashing straight through Jinmu's chest. Blood gushed out like a fountain, and wherever the blood splattered, the ground and space showed extensive decay and corrosion.

Kaneki's body was almost cut in half at the waist, barely held together by the bloodlines that were growing wildly inside him; otherwise, he would have been split in two long ago.

Seeing that her attack had failed, Cecilia did not hesitate.

Turn, draw your gun, charge! The whole sequence of movements was fluid and seamless; a flash of cold light from the gun tip, aimed straight for Golden Wood's skull!

As the threat of death loomed for the first time, Kaneki was gripped by immense fear, his instinct for survival overwhelming his desire for destruction.

While hastily gathering the blood on the ground to build a thick, blood-red wall, he swung his claws to slash through space, attempting to tear open a crack and escape.

With a crisp clang, the claws were mercilessly repelled by the space around them.

That momentary hindrance could be fatal.

Cecilia swept through the blood-red barrier with unstoppable force, her spear aimed at Kaneki's head, and she brought it down with tremendous power!

In his haste, Kaneki could only raise his broken claws to block.

The difference in their power at this moment was like heaven and earth. The instant they made contact, a tremendous force surged through their bodies, and Kaneki's body exploded, turning into a rain of blood.

Cecilia's gaze instantly locked onto the Seed of Lamentation floating within the flesh and blood. Her five fingers shot out swiftly, as fast as lightning, intending to suppress it on the spot.

"call out!"

Just as the fingertip was about to touch the seed, a silver needle as thin as a hair shot out from inside the seed!

A sneak attack? Too bad, I can't die. In a flash, the thought crossed Cecilia's mind, but her movements didn't falter at all; she continued to reach for the Seed of Lamentation.

The silver needles entered the body silently, as if they had never existed.

The Seed of Sorrow, which had just begun to condense some flesh and blood and was about to revive, was firmly held in her palm.

"Resolved?"

A figure carrying a sword and a candle arrived silently; it was Viviana, another of Schicksal's strongest magical girls.

She arrived at the start of the battle, using an inextinguishable candle to isolate the area, and at a crucial moment, she even froze the space, cutting off Jinmu's retreat.

Otherwise, a clash between two seven-star warriors would be enough to obliterate not just a mere fourth underground level, but the entire capital city.

Viviana approached, looking down at the Seed of Sorrow struggling restlessly in Cecilia's palm, and said softly, "Why not just extinguish its vitality? If it escapes, it can regenerate its body and revive in an instant."

"There are still some questions that need to be answered by him; he cannot die for the time being."

"understood."

Viviana said no more, and with a gentle push of the candle flame in her hand, a wisp of flame separated and wrapped around the Seed of Sorrow like flowing water, instantly forming a miniature candle flame barrier that firmly imprisoned all life and possibility.

"All right."

"Yes, thank you for repairing this space. I'll take him to Minister Lin."

Viviana nodded.

A crisis seemed to have ended so easily.

However, just a few dozen steps after Cecilia took, a sudden and unexpected change occurred!

Without warning, the space beside her cracked open, and a hand shot out like lightning, snatching the Seed of Sorrow from her palm with the speed of lightning!

"Who?!"

Cecilia reacted almost instinctively, roaring as magic surged through her arm and her spear transformed into a destructive streak, which she hurled fiercely!

Wherever the spear passed, large sections of space collapsed, forcing out the mysterious figure hidden deep in the void.

She was a woman with waist-length silver hair and deep eyes that seemed to contain an endless void. She wore a light-colored dress with a flowing tulle skirt that shimmered with dreamlike aurora-like light, and semi-transparent ring blades floated around her.

She stood silently in the depths of space, her figure ethereal, as if rooted here, yet seemingly detached from the world, elusive and unpredictable.

The moment Cecilia saw who it was, her pupils constricted: "Space Witch! You've been resurrected too?!"

The commotion immediately alerted Viviana, who was repairing the space.

"Haha, long time no see, Cecilia, Viviana."

The Space Witch looked at the two of them, a hint of nostalgia in her eyes. "Time really flies. The little ones who followed Paper Kite back then have now become pillars of destiny. Life is unpredictable."

"Enough talk, leave Kaneki here!" Cecilia had always been hostile towards witches. With a thought, she recalled her spear and charged into the chaotic spatial currents without hesitation.

The figure of the Space Witch slowly faded away, leaving only a faint smile: "This is the messenger of God Lord Otto, how could I let you kill him so easily? Let's end our reminiscing here, I'll take my leave now."

"Ouch!"

The figure that had been blurred solidified again. The Space Witch clutched her forehead, cried out in pain, and glared angrily to the other side: "Viviana!"

The instigator smiled without saying a word, but the candlelight in his hand became even brighter and brighter, making the entire four-story space as solid as a rock.

The Space Witch sneered, her tone arrogant: "You think you can trap me with such meager tricks? To me, space is nothing but a toy to be used at will!"

Before she finished speaking, she reconstructed space with a wave of her hand, instantly teleporting Cecilia, who had closed in on her, to the outside world. Taking advantage of this moment, she fully activated her powers, attempting to break free from the candlelight's confinement.

Outside, the candlelight in Viviana's hand flickered violently, sometimes bright and sometimes dim, as two supreme forces were engaged in a silent and fierce battle.

Just as the two were locked in a fierce battle, a fist shot out from the side, aiming straight for Viviana's head.

Chapter 110 Strategic Planning

Cecilia, who was preparing to storm the space again, witnessed the change and immediately abandoned the Space Witch, turning around to protect Viviana.

She transformed into a streak of light and sped away, her spear meeting the incoming fist. The two immense forces collided with a deafening roar, but instead of a bloody spectacle, a muffled explosion was heard.

The immense impact forced Cecilia back several steps, revealing the hidden figure.

She was a short-haired girl with a tall and slender figure. Her simple black and white training clothes made her look heroic and dignified.

The girl exuded a blazing and powerful aura, like a scorching sun that had sunk to earth, causing the space to tremble and hum.

Simply by standing still, she seemed to have the entire world under her feet, as if she could suppress everything in the world at will.

"Martial Arts Witch!"

Cecilia and Viviana instantly recognized each other, their hearts filled with a tremendous shock, far exceeding that of any resurrected witch they had encountered before.

The person before her was a unique anomaly among witches, a forbidden existence that completely transcended common sense.

As we all know, when a magical girl reaches five stars, she can obtain the Liberation Form, which enhances her combat power; when she advances to seven stars, she can unlock the Origin Form, which undergoes a complete transformation.

In this situation, a witch with no buffs would have almost no chance of winning in a head-on confrontation with someone of the same level.

Seven years ago, this short-haired girl broke this universally acknowledged ironclad rule between magical girls and witches.

In a world-shaking war, she personally killed a magical girl of the same rank who had simultaneously activated two forms, and was even the first generation.

Even so, she still died at the hands of the Martial Arts Witch.

After this battle, the Martial Arts Witch rose to become the leader of many witches at the time, unleashing a massive bloodbath across the globe.

Five years ago, she was betrayed by a coalition of nations and found herself in a perilous situation. Alone, she fought against the siege of three Seven Star Magical Girls and ultimately perished with resentment.

It is worth mentioning that Paper Kite was one of those three, and she died after this battle from the outbreak of the Soul Gem's corruption.
