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

"I did think about taking Tomorin to see a romantic movie or something, but then I thought about it more carefully."

Ai Yin scratched her face slightly, looking a little embarrassed.

"Compared to those kinds of places, Tomorin seems to prefer places like aquariums or planetariums."

Xiao Deng suddenly hugged Ai Yin.

"Hmm, tomorin."

"Thank you, Anno-chan, thank you for thinking of me so much."

"Well, that's what happens when you're my girlfriend."

Ai Yin's hands also went around to Xiao Deng's back, gently patting Xiao Deng's back, enjoying Xiao Deng's softness.

"Tomorin, let's go inside."

"Ah."

Xiaodeng pursed her lips, very happy. Going to the aquarium with Aiyin would be double the joy!

Near the aquarium where Aine and Xiaodeng went, Su Shi and Li Xi walked one after the other on the road.

Su Shi walked ahead, looking at the markers on her phone.

[Did you go to the aquarium? Aine really came prepared.]

Feeling the death stare behind him, Su Shi couldn't help but sigh.

How come she never noticed before that Li Xi was as stubborn as a piece of chewing gum?

踏

Su Shi stepped onto the ground, but the ground seemed to have turned into a lake, with ripples spreading across it.

Su Shi and Li Xi's eyes both turned extremely sharp at the same time. The next moment, the surrounding scenery changed.

The city has been turned upside down, and the sky and the earth have swapped positions!

Su Shi and Li Xi both equipped themselves with magical devices and stared at the two people who had suddenly appeared in front of them.

"Who are you?"

Su Shi's magical artifact was pointed directly at the young man with fiery red hair.

"Humph."

Velocs smiled coldly, dismissing Su Shi's question with disdain.

Succubus Chronicles: Chapter 121 The Lost Paradise

As a member of the Divine Punishment Squad, Sylvia holds a very high position within the vast Church of Zero, even above bishops and saintesses.

The only one who can command the Divine Punishment Squad is the supreme leader of the Zero Cult.

However, even so, Shiruka is in a very bad mood right now!

She had originally planned to meet up with her long-lost friend, but before she could even say hello, she saw Aine go to Kodama's side and wait for her!

Damn it, even she had never seen Aine with a single ponytail!

That's right. Unlike Su Shi, who tried to follow Aine and Xiao Deng but was stopped by Li Xi, Shiruka actually did it and no one could stop her!

So, if Shiruka hadn't been trying to find out what the relationship between Aine and Kodama was, she would have rushed out long ago.

Even so, when she saw Aine and Koden hugging each other at the aquarium entrance, Shiruka didn't know how she managed to resist the urge to burn Koden to ashes on the spot.

Just when she could no longer bear it, the Sanctuary: Lost Paradise unfolded.

Shiruka knew what this meant; it meant that their Divine Punishment Squad was about to take action.

To avoid any unforeseen circumstances, the conditions for activating the Sanctuary are limited to bringing in only S-rank mages within a hundred-mile radius. This way, unnecessary trouble can be avoided.

but!

"Who let that bastard start a fight here!"

Seeing that Ai-yin and Xiao-deng's gazes had turned towards her, Shiruka wished she could rush over to Velocis and whip him a hundred times over!

Yesterday, Shiruka volunteered, so she thought she would let him carry out the arrest. In fact, the plan to capture Shiina Tatsuki only required two members. The reason why ten people were sent was because the cult leader "saw" that the future that was supposed to happen had changed, so in order to prevent failure, a few more people were sent this time.

But like now

This is definitely something Shiruka doesn't want to see!

There were a lot of people in the aquarium, but the only ones with S-class magic power were those three!

Doesn't this make all her previous actions seem like a joke?

"You are... Xiao Xi?"

Just as Shiruka was about to say something, Aine's uncertain voice came through.

[Even after all these years, Aine-chan still recognized me at a glance; she still cares about me!]

As Shiruka thought this, a smile appeared on her face.

"Long time no see, Aine-chan."

"..."

Ai Yin remained silent, while Xiao Deng beside her glanced at her with concern.

"Anno-chan..."

"call."

Aine took a deep breath.

"My old friend, Tomorin, I'll explain to you later, for now."

Golden chains instantly bound Sylvia.

"Aine-chan?"

"Xiao Xi, when did you join the Zero Cult!?"

Even though Shiruka has been hiding the fluctuations of her magic power, this level of concealment might be enough to fool a mage who hasn't fully realized their S-rank magic power.

However, in front of these magical girls who can materialize, they are as conspicuous as a ray of light in the dark!

That kind of magic, mixed with spiritual power, is disgusting and nauseating!

This is the most obvious mark of a Zero Cult member.

"So, there really was no way to hide it from you?"

Sylvia revealed a sickly smile, and the golden chains binding her collapsed.

"When did you join the Zero Cult? I don't remember!"

Swish

Sylvia vanished instantly. Just as Little Lamp became alert, her protective magic was triggered almost simultaneously.

The blade struck the protective magic, and Sylvia revealed a bloodthirsty smile.

"Guardian magic? What use is that?"

At Shiruka's voice, the protective magic shattered, a blade fell, and blood splattered.

However, in the next moment, Xiaodeng's wounds healed.

"Ok?"

Before Sylvia could react, Little Lantern's fist had already slammed into her body. The use of protective magic shattered Sylvia's perception of protective mages, and she was sent flying.

Karaara

Golden chains bound Sylvia tightly, then she was thrown to the ground.

Aine was truly enraged at this moment. Not only had she joined the Zero Cult, but she had also tried to kill someone she valued so much. Shiruka had truly become a complete stranger.

If Xiaodeng weren't not only a guardian-type magical girl but also an excellent healing-type magical girl, that slash might have really killed her.

"Xiao Xi, you've really changed."

"People change, Aine-chan."

Shiruka moved her body, but this time it was different from before; she couldn't break free from Aine's magic.

"Aine-chan, you're still as amazing as ever. The last time I experienced control magic that could trap me like this was three years ago."

"Anno-chan, what should we do?"

Xiao Deng asked Ai Yin a question while standing beside her.

"As is customary, let's hand her over to the police."

Ai Yin was silent for a moment before speaking.

"Whatever her reasons, her joining the Zero Cult is an undeniable fact."

Aine bit her lip. Even though she had unknowingly dealt a severe blow to Shiruka, joining the Zero Cult was something she could not forgive.

Even though Aine had thought that when she met Shiruka again, she would definitely have a good talk with her, there was nothing left to say now.

From the moment Shiruka joined the Zero Cult, regardless of whether she was brainwashed or not, Aine and Shiruka were destined to be enemies.

Aine was surprised that Sylvia would join the Zero Cult. Fortunately, to avoid upsetting Sylvia, Aine hadn't revealed her true magical attributes. She had only told Sylvia that she possessed support-type magic. Otherwise, all her pretense would have been for nothing.

Since Shiruka possesses Breakthrough-type magic, Aine can assist her and prevent her from becoming overly self-conscious.

"Hand it over to the police? That won't do!"

Shiruka was slightly taken aback, then burst into laughter.

"I haven't yet asked you, Aine-chan, to join me in worshipping the great cult leader."

"Thank you Bu Min."

"That's because you, Aine-chan, haven't experienced the greatness of the Master. You know my talent, Aine-chan, right? Reaching A-rank in magic power is already a miracle."

Shiruka looked at Aine and spoke slowly.

"That's why I used to feel that I wasn't worthy to stand by your side, and that's why I left you so as not to get in your way."

"That's just you talking to yourself!"

Aine interrupted Shiruka.

"Not bothering me? When and where did I ever say you weren't worthy of being by my side? You've always been like this, Xiao Xi."

You kept everything to yourself, never told me anything, and did things on your own, thinking you were doing it for my own good. I never felt that your leaving was a good thing for me!

Aine's gaze toward Shiruka was filled with anger. She was angry at Shiruka's arrogance, and even angrier at Shiruka's joining the Zero Cult.

"That's because Aine-chan can't understand my feelings, can't feel how the people around me look at me. That's why I joined the Zero Cult, because they can give me the strength to stand by your side."

Sylvia's magical power suddenly surged, bursting the golden chains binding her.

"Look, I never dared to dream of such magic before joining the Zero Cult, let alone that I can do something like this now."

"True Transformation, Dark Void Devouring Demon!"

Dark, magical energy mixed with spiritual power emanated from Sylvia's body.

"True Transformation, God-Created Disguise - Heaven's Lock".

"True Transformation, Black Prison Demon Subduer."

Aine and Kodama also underwent true transformation at the same time; however, a strange scene unfolded.

The moment after they transformed, Aine and Kodama simultaneously exited their transformed state, as if something around them was rejecting their transformation.

"This is...."

"It's no use, Aine-chan."

Shiruka raised the strangely shaped blade in her hand.

"This is the great sacred domain of my Zero Cult, a lost paradise. Here, those who have not received the great 'blessing' of the Zero Cult are not recognized as being able to obtain power beyond their own limits."

True transformation is such a "miracle" that transcends limits.
