I really didn't want to burn it.

Mashu stared wide-eyed in surprise.

Unfortunately, Tamamo-no-Mae did not explain, because the surprise attack was not over yet.

Before Mashu could even catch her breath, a series of talisman-shaped chains shot out from all directions.

"!!"

Mashu suddenly felt a tightening sensation in her ankles and wrists, followed by a tremendous force that dragged her toward the ground, causing the two huge shields in her hands to fall from her grasp.

"Mirror?"

Mashu then noticed several mirrors surrounding her, and the chains were shooting out from the mirrors.

"Migu~ That's it! Pull her back to the ground!"

Tamamo-no-Mae let out a smug laugh, and pulled out several talismans from the cleavage of her chest, which flew out.

These talismans seemed to come alive and spontaneously affixed to Mashu's body.

"strength……"

Mashu let out a muffled groan.

Tamamo-no-Mae, meanwhile, proudly twirled her fox tail and began to dance.

"No matter how powerful you are, if you can't unleash your full potential, it's nothing but... Migu!!"

Before Tamamo-no-Mae could finish speaking, Mash's fallen shield flew up on its own, just like her mirrors which she could control at will. The two shields flew rapidly around Mash's body and crashed into Tamamo-no-Mae's mirror with great force.

Bah! !

Although the mirror formed from the Sesshoseki was not shattered, the chains that the mirror emitted had disappeared.

"What did you say?"

Mashu forcefully tore off the talisman stuck to her body and asked in return.

"Oppose violence!"

Tamamo-no-Mae gave a wry smile.

"Humph!"

Mashu gave a heavy snort, gripping one of the shields with both hands. Her armor began to shimmer with purple light again, and under the moonlight, her body rippled like the air itself.

"Migu~ Such powerful magic, what is it trying to do~"

Although Tamamo-no-Mae was unaware of Mashu's attack methods, she knew that a crisis was imminent.

"Tamamo-no-Mae, get out of the way!"

Pepe, on the other side of the battlefield, quickly reminded him.

"You still need to be able to dodge it, Migu!"

Tamamo-no-Mae had a premonition that even if she fled a thousand miles away, she would not be able to escape.

"Don't underestimate this peerless beauty, the fox witch!!"

Tamamo-no-Mae raised her right hand, and the light prism of the Sesshoseki mirror rose, forming an energy barrier.

"The curses and evil spirits that roam this world, I purify and eliminate with my suppressing stone! Water, sky, and sunlight appear here!"

Tamamo-no-Mae activated her Noble Phantasm without hesitation.

"Haaah————!! Lord Camelot!! (The ideal city that is now far away!!)"

Mashu pushed off with her feet, and with a whooshing sound, she slammed her shield and the city wall directly into Tamamo-no-Mae.

The ground trembled violently, and flames from the explosion shot into the sky.

When Tamamo-no-Mae subconsciously used her Noble Phantasm to resist, Mash had already appeared in front of her with Camelot Castle, and the afterimage of the light wings remained behind Mash.

The barrier created by releasing the magic power of the Killing Stone was directly squeezed by the walls of the legendary city and then quickly collapsed.

Just as Mash's shield was about to touch Tamamo-no-Mae's body—

boom! !

The explosion was deafening, and the earth and rocks on the ground were sent flying into the sky by the impact.

Propelled by Mash, the Camelot Castle continued forward after piercing through Tamamo-no-Mae's body, leaving a trench tens of meters long in the ground.

Chapter 346 Kirshtalia: The time to show off has come, Captain, return to your post!

Mashu lowered her shield, and her armor opened, releasing a cloud of white mist to cool her body.

Not far from Mashu, Tamamo-no-Mae collapsed to the ground with a thud. A huge gash appeared in her chest, and the moment her body hit the ground, her blue form transformed into golden fox fur.

"That was terrifying, Migu!"

Tamamo-no-Mae's figure appeared on the other side of the ravine, panting heavily as she slapped her breasts, making them ripple like waves.

"That's amazing, I never thought you could survive."

Mashu praised sincerely, thinking that she had just managed to turn Tamamo-no-Mae into a fox meat pie.

"You're such a violent girl!"

Tamamo-no-Mae looked at her pink little bottom with heartache; her original fox tail had disappeared.

"If I hadn't decisively given up one of my tails, I would have really died! Migu!" Tamamo-no-Mae complained to Mashu.

Mashu did not answer, but instead put on her armor, which had already cooled down.

"Honestly, what an unlovable girl!"

Tamamo-no-Mae's fox ears bristled, and she wiggled her hips a few times, revealing a brand new tail between her legs.

"A multi-tailed fox demon..."

Mashu, behind her goggles, remained fiercely determined to fight.

"I overestimated myself this time. How am I going to wrap this up, Migu~"

A bead of cold sweat trickled down Tamamo-no-Mae's temple; the opponent's strength was far greater than she had imagined.

"It's coming!"

Mashu shouted and charged toward Tamamo-no-Mae.

Just then, Tamamo-no-Mae heard Kirshtalia's voice.

“Cast, Pepe, lead the troops to retreat! I'm all ready on my side.”

"Migu!! Handsome blond guy, you're such a kind person!!"

The order to retreat sounded like heavenly music to Tamamo-no-Mae's ears, and she leaped onto the roof.

"Little girl, that's enough for today, we're leaving! Migu!"

After saying that, Tamamo-no-Mae disappeared in a few moments.

"……baffling."

Mashu stopped and coldly retorted.

Looking around, Mash noticed that the battlefield had quieted down.

It appears the battle is over, and the protesters have won and are heading towards the designated teleportation point.

"Protecting Li Ang is the most important thing."

Between continuing the pursuit and returning to Leon's side, Mash chose the latter without hesitation.

"Li Ang, are you alright?"

Mashu caught up with the main group as quickly as possible, and the first thing she did after landing next to Li Ang was to ask about his condition.

"What could possibly happen to me? Pepe wasn't even playing seriously."

Although he led his men out of the encirclement, Li Ang did not smile.

"What's wrong?" Jeanne Alter, who was leading the team, turned her head and asked.

“Kirshtalia deliberately abandoned the interception, which means he was doing something and didn’t want us to disturb him, and now that he’s done.”

"What could it be?"

Mashu asked nervously.

"I don't know, but it's definitely not a good thing."

Li Ang wanted to go directly to that blond crossdresser, but he was worried about the people behind him.

"Get them out of here quickly!"

Having made up his mind, Li Ang saw that the troops were in the right position and ordered them to stop and prepare for teleportation.

"This time, I really have to trouble Your Majesty Li Ang. Without you, I really don't know what to do."

The protest leader thanked Li Ang.

"Um……"

Li Ang nodded unhappily. He genuinely had no liking for this guy who caused trouble and dragged so many people into it.

If it weren't for the need to appease the public, Li Ang would have definitely dragged him and several others out, tied them to cannonballs, and fired them along with the Penglai's main gun.

"Forget it, they'll be dealt with anyway when we get to Da Qin, so I'm not going to stay here and sulk."

Li Ang sighed, then began to open the passage.

At almost the same time, Kirshtalia also launched a magic ritual.

"Okay, let's get started."

Standing at the very center of the magic circle, Kirshtalia let out a soft breath and calmed herself down.

This is no small magic spell; even a child prodigy like him could cause trouble if he doesn't handle it properly.

"The place where time and space meet, reveal your full form before me!"

The incantation to activate the magic was gently uttered from Kirshtalia's mouth.

If someone could observe with their magic eye, they would see the immense magical power expanding out like the tentacles of a living being, and blue magic circuits beginning to appear on Kirshtalia's face.

"Awooo!!" *4

The four dragons bound to the magic circle began to writhe uneasily, as if they had foreseen their fate.

It was around 6 a.m., and although it wasn't fully light yet, the sun was just beginning to rise.

However, as the magic ritual proceeded, the sky, which had just brightened, began to darken again, and the cloudless sky was suddenly shrouded in dark clouds.

The sky, which had just emerged from the night, has now fallen into darkness once again, but this time there is not a single star in the pitch-black sky.

The dark clouds began to slowly rotate in a spiral shape amidst the lightning and thunder, and the strong wind whipped up gusts of sand that surrounded the entire magic circle, making it impossible for anyone standing outside to open their eyes.

The magical tentacles roughly grabbed the four giant dragons at the base of the magic circle and used the most primitive method of exploitation to extract their magic power.

"Awooo—!" *4

The dragons let out mournful screams. They tried to break free of their restraints but were completely powerless. They could only watch helplessly as their magic was drained away bit by bit, and they eventually became nourishment for the magical ritual.

The earth trembled violently, giving people the illusion that the end of the world was just around the corner.

"The form of stars, the form of the universe, the form of gods, the form of myself, the celestial bodies are emptiness, emptiness is void. The void exists with gods."

"God of the Void, I now declare humanity defeated. Eyes are ancient, hands and feet are weak, and knowledge is stagnant."

"As the last human being, I believe that all decisions, all setbacks, and all prosperity are nothingness."

"This strike will bring down the gods—ring the bell of change!"

"Grand Ord—Ars Paulina!! (Grand Ord—The Book of St. Paul!!)"

As the final incantation was recited, a deafening thunderclap resounded in the sky.

The entire magic circle emitted golden lightning, and the powerful airflow it generated even caused the city walls several kilometers away to tremble.

A golden door appeared before Kirshtalia.

"Success."

Kirshtalia's eyes gleamed as he resolutely walked through the door.
