Chihaya Aine will not fall into the Shura field, never!

Tama appeared in the sky outside of Tokyo, her eyes closed, as if she were investigating something.

Then she opened her eyes, and an incredulous look appeared in them.

"As expected, the Flame King's daughter has been here, but why?"

In addition to the spiritual power of the Flame King's daughter, there is also the magic power of a mage present here.

Considering the fact that Nanoha Takamachi and the others have not appeared yet, it is easy to guess who the master of this magic is.

To be honest, Tōjin wasn't worried about Nanoha and the others' safety. What puzzled her was why the Flame King's daughter was here, and what method she had used to trap Nanoha and the others.

Yes, trapped!

The daughter of the Flame King is terrifying, but Tama doesn't believe she can take down Nanoha and the others in such a short time.

If the Flame King's daughter wanted to kill Takamachi Nanoha and the others, the battle would likely last at least a day and a night, and the outcome would still be uncertain.

"Hmm? This is..."

The strange crack caught Deng Jin's attention. The crack was very small, like a grain of sand in the vast sky.

If Deng Jin hadn't used his magic to sift through this place again and again, he probably wouldn't have discovered this grain of "dust".

"This is... the Sky Island!"

Tōjin's expression turned extremely ugly. If it really was the Sky Island, then releasing Takamachi Nanoha would not be something that could be done in a short time.

"Phew, there's no other way. Fortunately, thanks to Aine and the others' accidental discovery, I have a backup plan."

This was something the Flame King's daughter could never have imagined.

Even she herself had never imagined such a thing would happen.

"We need to keep an eye on Heijiang; she is our last hope now."

After saying this, Deng Jin slowly disappeared into the air.

"Well then, I'm getting ready to leave."

At one of the Tokyo Magical Committee's locations, Mephia appeared behind the Flame King's daughter.

"Oh my, such a sight is a rare treat. Don't you want to witness it with your own eyes?"

"Thank you Bu Min."

Mephia answered decisively.

"Although we are allies, I don't have the courage to face the commanders of other legions directly. Who knows if that king will find me an eyesore and slap me to death?"

If it really turns out like that, then my death will have been in vain.

The King of Gluttony wouldn't risk offending her for her sake.

"Don't think of other people's fathers as so scary."

"hehe."

Mephia simply responded with a mocking laugh.

"If it weren't for my father's orders, I really wouldn't want to get involved with you guys. Anyway, I've pretty much completed my mission here, farewell."

Without waiting for a response from the Flame King's daughter, Mephia left.

"Even you are like that?"

The Flame King's daughter shook her head slightly. Not long ago, Annabelle, Ypres, and that white-haired boy had all announced their retreat.

"Fine, then, before opening that door for Father, let me have a good look at you. Now that you've condensed the third demonic flower, let me see what you're capable of."

To this end, she deliberately dispersed the Zero Beasts and the Zero Cult's forces, just so she could properly enjoy a grand spectacle.

Looking down, Ai-yin and Xiao-deng had already arrived, while on the other side, Jiu-ye had been waiting for a long time.

"Nine Nights..."

Nine Nights was right across from her, but Lily had vanished without a trace, which made Aine's heart grow heavier and heavier.

"Lily, where are you?"

"Hizakura?"

When Jiuye saw Aine's pink hair, he immediately thought of Fei Ying, but he quickly shook his head.

"No, you are not her."

Aside from their matching pink hair, Aine and Hiyori only share a slight resemblance.

"Lily? Do you mean the Third Demon Flower Embryo?"

Golden chains bound Jiuye.

"Answer me, where is Lily?"

"If you want to know the answer, it depends on your own abilities."

Jiuye remained unmoved by the chains that bound him.

"tomorin!"

"Ok!"

Xiaodeng responded and rushed out. The moment Xiaodeng moved, Jiuye burst the golden chains.

Then, he actually used his bare fists to directly confront the protective magic of the little lamp.

The two men's punches collided like phantoms, producing deafening sounds.

The Nine Star Rings spun wildly on Xiaodeng's wrist, and Xiaodeng's lips were slightly pursed.

"Little Nine."

"coming!"

Xiao Jiu appeared beside Xiao Deng and then quickly merged into Xiao Deng's body. In an instant, Xiao Deng's speed, magic intensity, and all other aspects became more than twice as strong as before.

"Oh?"

While dealing with Xiaodeng's attacks, Jiuye showed a look of surprise.

"This level of strength is extremely close to true transformation. I never expected that someone could bridge the gap between true transformation and non-true transformation without even having 'condensed a flower'. The younger generation is truly formidable!"

砰

He blocked Xiaodeng's punch with his arm, and a huge impact erupted behind Jiuye.

"Unfortunately, this level of strength is still not enough!"

A lightning-fast punch landed, but then met the protective magic, which prevented Jiuye's fist from advancing an inch.

"I told you, it's not enough!"

With a sudden burst of force, the protective magic shattered, sending the little lamp flying.

However, the golden chain wrapped around the little lamp's waist and pulled her back.

The golden chain spear sparked as it struck the ground. Ai Yin sprinted across the land, then thrust her spear forward.

This

The gun tip collided with the fist, producing a sound like metal clashing.

When her first shot failed, Aine quickly changed tactics, employing techniques such as pointing, striking, flicking, deflecting, entangling, turning, blocking, and dancing with flowers with consummate skill. Such techniques were clearly beyond the capabilities of a mere support-type magical girl.

"Oh?"

No matter how Aine changed her moves, Jiuye still steadily parried them, but at this moment, Jiuye was genuinely surprised.

Because at this moment, the magical attribute of Aine no longer belongs to the support type.

Yes, Ai Yin never intended to continue hiding her feelings towards Jiu Ye, not to mention that she was not yet able to truly transform at this moment.

Without being able to transform into true form, and with support-type magic, there's simply no way to pose a threat to Jiuye.

"Wide-range All-rounder!?"

"Wide-range All-rounder!!!"

If Jiuye was merely surprised, then the Flame King's daughter, who was secretly observing the battlefield, was experiencing an unexpected turn of events and displayed emotions that were impossible to decipher.

"I never expected that such a small country as D would produce a human with a wide-range, all-around magical ability!"

If Jiuye were here, he definitely wouldn't understand the emotions the Flame King's daughter was expressing at this moment.

Since he had known the Fire King's daughter, he had never seen her develop such strong emotions towards anyone.

Even though Aine's information had appeared in her eyes before, she remained completely unmoved at that time.

"As expected, the magic of the wide-area omnipotent type has secrets that we do not know about. Is that right, Master?"

Just as the Flame King's daughter was gazing intently at Aine, Deng Jin appeared behind her.

"Otherwise, you wouldn't have such an expression, Master. This is the first time I've seen you so flustered."

A masquerade ball?

Because Deng Jin was dressed in a masquerade ball style, the Flame King's Daughter didn't immediately notice how Deng Jin addressed her.

All she knew was that if the people at the masquerade ball noticed this place, her plans would likely face a major setback.

Succubus Chronicles: Chapter 172 Above True Transformation

"No wonder my plans here have been thwarted. Your masquerade ball must have played a part in it, right?"

Deng Jin remained silent, then sighed.

"But the cult leader is still a cut above. I finally convinced Nanoha Takamachi and the others that a disaster was about to happen here, and got them to come here. But instead, the cult leader banished them to the Sky Island."

"As expected, this is also related to you."

The Flame King's daughter frowned slightly, then seemed to remember something, and looked at Deng Jin with a hint of surprise.

"Master?"

"Did you finally notice? I used to be a member of the Zero Worship Cult."

While Deng Jin stopped the Flame King's daughter, Ai Yin and Xiao Deng joined forces and suppressed Jiu Ye for a time.

However, Jiuye's expression remained calm, as if such a slight suppression was of no consequence to him.

A crimson magical light shone directly on Jiuye's chest. Upon seeing this, Aine and Xiaodeng immediately understood what had happened.

The blood-red spear tip seemed about to appear.

"Gae Blog!"

This is a fatal blow.

It's a strike that reverses cause and effect!

After achieving true transformation, the restrictions required for Rana to unleash the power of her Noble Phantasm are infinitely reduced. Generally speaking, magic that reverses cause and effect is undoubtedly a huge threat to humanity.

However, Jiuye merely glanced at his chest indifferently.

"Reverse cause and effect? ​​Then I will set things right!"

He raised his right hand and made a slight clenching motion in the air.

No one knows what Jiuye did, but the reversal effect of the Piercing Death Thorn Spear was instantly canceled.

Aine and Xiaodeng both showed surprise, then relief. Indeed, magic capable of reversing cause and effect is not limited to the Piercing Death Thorn Spear.

If the magic that reverses cause and effect is truly unsolvable, why would humanity have developed so many kinds of magic? They would have focused all their efforts on researching magic that reverses cause and effect.

When the battle begins, it will be a contest of who can cast their magic faster.

Crimson magic descended from the sky.

boom

The crimson light crashed down like a meteor, creating a huge crater where Jiu Ye was standing.

"Ok?"
