Give the child a little shock to the world view

The magician looked at Mayumi Hanega who had difficulty standing and sighed inwardly.

"You know right? If you don't admit defeat, both you and the real Despair Monster will be exiled from this world." The magician finally said, wanting Mayumi Yuga to hand over the core of the Despair Monster. "I don't know where you put the core, but no matter what, I will banish the carrier of the core to a space where everything is still."

This is an ultimatum.

If Mayumi Haga can hand over the little bear, she will be spared.

But Mayumi Haga answered the magician with silence.

"What a pity." The magician said, moving his fingertips slightly.

But the next second, she stopped moving.

The magician frowned, she slowly raised her head and looked at the sky which was already somewhat brighter.

There was a sound like breaking glass in the sky.

In fact, the sky, which had already had a bit of orange color just before sunrise, was indeed "broken".

A huge barrier had enveloped the clock tower at some point, and the huge mirror barrier made with the spirit vein as the base included the people who were negotiating, and after a moment of dizziness, they were forcibly pulled into the mirror space within the barrier.

The magician was puzzled.

This is the mirror barrier that Miracle City activates to deal with special monsters, which is enough to cover the entire city. Before, when it was deployed, it still needed to be controlled by the creator Terasaki Ayasa, but after being recognized by the magic base of Miracle City, this barrier should be automatically deployed.

The prerequisite is that a threat large enough to destroy the city has been detected.

But I clearly restrained my strength...

"Are you wondering why this barrier is deployed when the damage you cause may not be as serious as the daily battles between monsters and magical girls?" A familiar voice appeared behind him.

The magician turned around in astonishment, and in front of him was a guy he had just seen not long ago.

The red-haired former magical girl looked a little disheveled, her hair was messy and she was a little out of breath. It looked like she had really put a lot of effort into getting here, her clothes were wrinkled and her nose was covered in sweat.

"...You can't use spiritual veins to teleport?" The magician saw the other party's problem at a glance.

It was obvious that Shanshan Lihua could use the spiritual veins of Miracle City to teleport back, and it wouldn't consume too much magic power, but the posture he showed showed that he was flying back from a long distance.

Apart from the possibility that the other party had something to do and didn't want to teleport back directly - after all, Shanshan Lihua did look very anxious - there was only one possibility left:

The spiritual vein of Miracle City is no longer usable.

"What happened to the spiritual vein?" The magician was very surprised that he didn't even feel any problem.

During this brief moment of communication, Rika Sugiyama did not respond to the magician's words, but immediately used magic to tear the vines on Mayumi Hane's body apart.

The magician wanted to stop him: "What are you doing..."

Rika Shanshan ignored her and grabbed Mayumi Haga's hand. The place where their skin touched was icy cold.

Mayumi Hanega subconsciously pulled her hand back and wanted to retreat, but was blocked by thick vines behind her.

Shanshan Lihua's heart sank. She noticed that it took a while for Hane Mayumi to raise his head towards her, and his pupils were a little dilated.

Mayumi Haga's reaction was even slower.

Because she was unaware of the hostility of the people approaching her, her hearing loss made her slow down...or rather, her vision gradually became blurred and her body became increasingly sluggish.

But when the fiery red hair came into her sight, she realized something.

Miss Guardian…?

This incompetent guardian has not appeared in front of her for some time. She never expected that she would see Rika Shanshan appear in front of her at this time.

Her heart suddenly ached, as if the outside of her heart was a thin layer of paper and the surging blood was about to break through it. She tried to pull her hand back before her body lost control, but was grabbed by Shanshan Lihua again.

The other party seemed to be saying something, but it was a little unclear.

Mayumi Haga tried hard to distinguish the lip movements of Rika Sugiyama, only to see Rika Sugiyama turn her head and say something to the magician, which earned her a cold look of disapproval from the magician.

"Don't touch my child." Shanshan Lihua refused to give in.

The magician just thought it was ridiculous: "She looks just a little younger than you. Do you think she is a child?"

Mayumi Haga looks to be in her twenties in her guardian form, but with the scar on her face she looks a few years older and doesn't look younger.

Shanshan Lihua was choked.

She only obtained some information about the other world from the temple in the deep cave, and vaguely guessed the identity of Mayumi Haga, knowing that this child was probably the legendary "guardian".

But I didn't expect that Mayumi Haga's true form? Or rather, her transformed form, was actually about the same age as me.

Rather, compared to the unreliable guardian lady, Mayumi Haga looks more like an elder...

No, now is not the time to dwell on this.

After hastily recording the information about the other world recorded in the temple, Rika Shanshan roughly understood what happened in that broken other world.

It is nothing more than a tragedy in which the world encounters an external enemy and is destroyed.

The murals in that part of the temple record the history of that strange continent, from the birth of life on both sides of the long river of life, the coexistence of ancient races and fantasy species, to the end of the Age of Gods. Before the curtain of the new era was raised, the enemy took advantage of the opportunity to invade.

Then to the last mural, there was only one person left struggling, and then finally the stone wall broke, and the history of the other world ended.

And that person, the only remaining guardian, is the person in front of him.

The guardian in the mural wears a blackened hood and torn armor, holds a small shield in his hand, and has short white hair that has been stained almost black by coagulated blood. He only exists in a small corner of the picture, but the remaining 80% of the picture is roughly painted black, representing the overwhelming disaster.

In the corner of the mural, there were crooked, childish words carved with stone, which read the name of the last person alive in this world.

Even though she couldn't understand the words from the other world, Rika Shanshan still knew who this person was.

【Haga Mayumi】.

When Mayumi Hanega first came to her house, she saw him write such words.

Chapter 143: Self-destruction is the best way to escape

Mayumi Haga.

A name that will be remembered by the world at its end, the last guardian.

Rika Shanshan knew that there must be more content behind the information carried by the murals she saw.

The mural was too simple. Although it had a large surface, it could not carry all the lost memories of that destroyed world.

The cold stone could not reproduce the swaying of a flower or a tree in the breeze, nor could it reproduce the despair of the final guardian.

Shanshan Lihua was just a spectator and all he could see was the cold wall.

In front of that huge picture of the history of another world, all she could do was watch.

Then listen.

Rika Shanshan can be considered a genius in magic. She is very receptive to supernatural things and has a stronger understanding than others.

After entering the temple, the countless overlapping voices of chanting put forward the only requirement for her to pass the temple trial:

[People from other worlds, please walk through this historical corridor and engrave it in your heart. ]

The voice that had been lonely for too long just wanted to convey some information to Rika Shanshan.

He wants Rika Sugiyama to know the story about the last guardian in the world.

[Please remember her.] The voice said, but its tone slowly changed, becoming childish and obviously sad, like a depressed child, [She is all I have left.]

Therefore, Shanshan Lihua learned a lot of information from this temple that was beyond her imagination.

As soon as she came out of the temple, Rika Sugiyama rushed to find Mayumi Haga, not just because she was shocked after knowing the other person's true identity.

But there is something wrong with the spiritual vein.

I thought this was just a trouble caused by the Gentleman of the Abyss and had nothing to do with Mayumi Hane, and it shouldn't cause such a big fuss like it did many years ago... But now it seems that the situation is much more serious than I imagined.

"What did the accomplices of the Desperate Monster do in the spiritual vein?" The magician asked Shanshan Lihua with a frown. Only then did she realize that something was wrong with the spiritual vein, which made her very upset.

To be honest, although the magician has become a magic elf, her perception ability is still not as good as that of Shanshan Lihua, who has almost assimilated with the spiritual vein here, not to mention that the spiritual vein here is still resisting her entry.

But this is weird.

The magician had not been to Miracle City for many years, so she was not clear about the condition of the spiritual veins here, but Shanshan Lihua discovered the problem at a glance.

She sighed and said, "The spiritual vein of Miracle City was closed once not long ago, and this is the second time."

Mandatory closure will only be implemented when there is a danger that is sufficient to threaten the spiritual vein itself. At such a moment, even Shanshan Lihua cannot enter the spiritual vein.

The first forced closure was when the Dragon of Disaster appeared in this world.

Although the Gentleman of the Abyss has some abilities, in Shanshan Rihua's opinion, this guy is not someone who can control the entire spiritual vein.

At least, this guy can't do it alone.

In other words, the reason for the forced closure of the spirit vein was not caused by the Gentleman of the Abyss, but...

Just as she was about to express her conclusion, Rika Shanshan, who was holding Mayumi Hane's hand, suddenly felt the other party's nervousness at this moment.

At the moment when Mayumi Haga tightly grasped Satoshi Saneyama's hand, the sky, which was almost bright, suddenly became pitch black.

Wisps of red smoke rose from the ground, like ashes swirling in the rising air currents after a burn.

The color of the sky also began to change, scarlet mixed with a dark aura of disaster that enveloped the heavy task within the barrier, and everything in sight was scarlet.

And in the sky, a blood-red moon appeared at some point.

"Blood moon." Rikka Sugiyama heard Mayumi Haga mutter in a very soft voice. Although she didn't know what the blood moon specifically represented, she subconsciously had a bad premonition.

Mayumi Haga raised her head unconsciously and looked at the moon in the sky that she was very familiar with.

The scarlet full moon hanging high in the sky looked like a wound in the sky, continuously dripping blood onto the earth.

The blood dripped onto the ground, and countless reptiles and monsters that she was familiar with were born from it. They scattered in all directions, or waved the sticks in their hands and made shrill noises.

If it weren't for Rika Shanshan using this barrier to cover the city, there would have been countless damages by now.

...

At the same time, the situation of the Abyss Gentleman in the spirit vein was no better than that of the people outside.

He saw that the light of the spiritual vein was dimming at an unusual speed.

Originally coming in quietly, Gentleman of the Abyss began to carve the magic circle in the spirit vein in a hurry, but when the last stroke was about to fall, he found that the originally bright magic power was mixed with some gray and black.

In fact, he and Shanshan Lihua discovered this thing last time when they were in the spirit vein, but at that time, after the Dragon of Disaster was defeated, these gray-black corrosion spots disappeared completely.

...So it wasn't the negative influence of the dragon?

To be precise, it wasn't the dragon that brought the crisis, but the crisis that brought the dragon...?

The Abyss Gentleman suddenly felt something was wrong, but he was only one stroke away from carving the giant magic circle, and before his hand fell -

--"Varied……!"

His body was surrounded by a scarlet miasma that appeared out of nowhere. After just a moment of contact, the Abyss Gentleman's magic power was drained away by half, and the surroundings suddenly dimmed.

What on earth is this thing? It's absorbing magic power at a speed never seen before...

Gentleman Abyss frowned.

But now, there is no turning back.

The Abyss Gentleman stood up and lightly rubbed the last stroke with the tip of his leather shoe. With the infusion of magic power, the magic circle under his feet lit up layer by layer.

Suddenly, a pipe made of magic stretched out from the ground and violently penetrated into the body of the Gentleman of the Abyss.

The back of the neck, sides of the shoulders, lumbar spine, arms and thighs.

At first it was a slight pain like a needle prick, but as the magic power of the spiritual vein continued to flow in, the Abyss Gentleman, who was accelerating his assimilation with the spiritual vein, couldn't help but gasp.

His body began to tremble unconsciously, and power that did not belong to him was constantly injected into him. The high-purity magic power produced a violent rejection reaction in his body, but as long as he could overcome and adapt, he could forcibly pry open a part of the authority.

He calculated that at that time, it was sunrise, when the spiritual vein was most active.

That was the dawn time he and Mayumi Haga had agreed upon.

As the time was almost up, Gentleman of the Abyss began his plan, but Mayumi Hanega and Xiao Xiong were late.

But he couldn't stop.

No problem.

It's okay to do my job well first. As long as Mayumi Hanega can finally reach the spiritual vein with Little Sadness, everything I do will be meaningful.

The plan of the Gentleman of the Abyss is simple. He wants to use the power of the spiritual vein to forcibly dismantle the restrictions of his own core and obtain the authority to communicate with the gods.

He wanted to remove the concept of [despair] from the little bear...Originally, this attribute was incompatible with the child. If these two attributes appeared on the same monster, it would cause a huge burden to the core.
