(Another Big Chapter. More than 1600 Words)
“Mihae, Tosca, protect yourselves in the upcoming battle,” Yubelluna breathed out and said.
“We understand,” Both Mihae and Tosca nodded with a sense of realization.
Without further ado, Yubelluna waved her wand, instantly conjuring hundreds of magic bullets that whizzed toward the enemy on the opposite side.
“I guess I should take this a bit more seriously…”
Muttering softly, Kuisha Abaddon’s lips curved with a hint of confidence as she activated her ability.
The space twisted, and then numerous dark caves unfolded in the air. Hundreds of magic bullets flew toward Kuisha’s group, only to be absorbed and devoured by the aerial cavities!
“So, this is the power of the Abaddon clan…”
Yubelluna’s expression turned sour as she realized that her attacks had been so easily nullified.
The Abaddon clan possessed the ability to use 【Holes】, which connected to unknown otherworldly dimensions. It was a challenging technique that could absorb and trap anything.
“Are you daunted by just this much? My ability is far more than that!”
With a taunting smile on her face, Kuisha’s words were barely out before numerous cavities opened around Yubelluna’s group. The previously devoured magic bullets flew out of these new holes!
“Oh no!”
Yubelluna’s group’s expressions turned pale, but they had no time to dodge. The bullets rushed towards them and exploded with a resounding boom.
Flames shot into the sky, air currents scattered, and outside the dimension, the audience erupted in gasps. All eyes were fixed on the battle projection, awaiting the outcome for Yubelluna’s team.
As the flames subsided and the smoke cleared, the view inside the different dimension became clear again.
The tower Yubelluna’s group had stood on was shattered in the explosion. However, Yubelluna, Tosca, and Mihae floated in the air, shielded by three barrier orbs, without a scratch.
“Ohohhhhh!!!!!!!”
The intense and thrilling battle received enthusiastic cheers from the audience outside the dimension. Yet, Yubelluna’s group had pale faces, each still shaken by their opponent’s attack.
If it hadn’t been for Tosca using her 【Inherent Barrier】 to protect them at the last moment, they might have been defeated and eliminated just now!
“Another Sacred Gear user, huh…”
Muttering, Kuisha and her two 【Bishops】 cast a few spells, but they couldn’t break through the defense of Tosca’s barrier.
Tosca sneered and lifted a hand, summoning a black butterfly that appeared at her fingertips.
It was Tosca’s familiar, the Hell Butterfly!
Gracefully fluttering, the Hell Butterfly emerged from the barrier orb and rapidly multiplied. In an instant, the entire different dimension was filled with countless butterflies.
“Little butterfly, attack!”
Following Tosca’s command, the Hell Butterflies launched their assault, continuously emitting razor-sharp ruin beams.
The Hell Butterfly attacking them were countless in number and even Kuisha Abaddon felt a bit overwhelmed and she quickly conjured more cavities to defend herself and her companions.
Most of the beams launched by the Hell Butterfly were absorbed and devoured by the cavities, but a few managed to slip through the gaps and head toward Kuisha’s group. Kuisha and her two 【Bishops】 had to cast defensive magic to counter the attack.
Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding!!!!!!!
Many beams shifted through the cavities and attacked Yubelluna’s group. However, thanks to Tosca’s barrier, the three girls didn’t need to worry about their safety at all.
They didn’t miss such a great opportunity either. Yubelluna, Mihae, and Tosca cast magic attacks incessantly, causing the entire dimension to erupt into a series of explosions.
“Ugh…”
With a pained cry, Kuisha was accidentally struck by one of the ruin beams fired by the Hell Butterflies. Though not a severe injury, the intense pain caused her beautiful face to pale slightly.
“Kuisha, that Sacred Gear user on the other side is causing us trouble. With her, we can’t win the match.”
Wearing an unsightly expression on her face, Coriana, one of the 【Bishops】, spoke.
“I know!”
Gritting her teeth, Kuisha replied with a hint of resentment.
Although they could’ve won quickly by utilizing the power of the 【Holes】, the opponent’s barrier was as hard as a turtle shell rendering her helpless. The Queen felt quite stifled.
While the 【Holes】 could absorb most magic attacks and even retaliate against the enemy, some attacks managed to slip through the gaps between the cavities. Continuously blocking Yubelluna’s group’s attacks, Kuisha urged her other 【Bishop】, Misteeta:
“Misteeta, are you ready yet?”
Without being involved in the battle, Misteeta, the beautiful young man, seemed to be preparing for some sort of ritual with his eyes closed, enveloped in several mysterious halos.
“I’m ready!”
Opening his eyes, Misteeta replied excitedly while Kuisha and Coriana also revealed looks of surprise.
“Seal that Sacred Gear user’s ability immediately!”
“Understood!”
With a wave of her wand, several halos surrounding Misteeta shot out, disregarding all barriers and defenses. They pierced through the barrier orb and latched onto Tosca’s body.
“What is this…?”
“Ah!!”
A sense of unease surged within her but before Tosca could react, the halos constricted abruptly. The protective barrier orb surrounding Yubelluna, Mihae, and Tosca shattered, and Tosca let out a painful scream.
“What have you done to Tosca?!” Quickly catching the pained and weakened Tosca, Yubelluna, and Mihae angrily questioned Kuisha’s group.
“Don’t worry, Tosca Nee Sama is fine. My Sacred Gear, 【Coffin of Unusual Talent – Trick Vanish】, can seal the abilities of other Sacred Gears. She’s just temporarily unable to use her Sacred Gear’s abilities.”
Misteeta replied weakly with a pale look on his face. His Sacred Gear, 【Coffin of Unusual Talent – Trick Vanish】, could indeed seal the abilities of other Sacred Gears. However, the price was depleting his own physical and mental strength to the limit, a tactic that harmed both the enemy and himself.
“Is that boy also a Sacred Gear user?!”
Yubelluna’s expression darkened. The intelligence they received didn’t mention anyone from Sairaorg’s side having a Sacred Gear. Clearly, they had only recently gained knowledge of Yubelluna’s ability.
If it had been at any other time, it might have been manageable, but just now, losing Tosca’s 【Inherent Barrier】 meant they had no chance of winning at all.
“Bomb Queen, you’ve realized it, haven’t you? Without that 【Bishop】’s barrier defense, you have no hope left!”
With a cold smile on her face, Kuisha unleashed a massive fireball and a fierce hurricane. The flames and hurricane merged, creating an even more powerful firestorm.
As the wind swirled and debris filled the air, the intense firestorm quickly swept away the Hell Butterflies in the sky.
“Now, let’s seize victory for our Lord!”
“Yes!”
Fireballs, water arrows, ice spears… Countless magical attacks hurtled toward Yubelluna, Mihae, and Tosca.
With pale faces, Yubelluna and Mihae quickly cast defensive magic. However, their defensive spells were no match for the intense onslaught and cracks began to appear in the magic barriers in no time.
Boom! Boom! Boom!!!
“Ah-hhhh…”
With a deafening explosion, the fates of the three girls were sealed.
“Two 【Bishop】 from Tenraku-Sama’s side, exit the field!”
Heavily injured, Mihae and Tosca were transported out of the dimension. Yubelluna, as the 【Queen】, collapsed amidst the rubble, blood trickling from the corner of her mouth, devoid of strength to continue fighting.
“It seems that we’ve won this match.”
Kuisha, Coriana, and Misteeta landed. Kuisha conjured a spell, preparing to deliver the final blow to Yubelluna.
Though they had paid an unexpected price, they had ultimately emerged victorious!
However—
“Ha… Ha…”
“You are being careless, you’ve decided to exit the stage with me in the end!” A cold smile appeared on Yubelluna’s pale face as she spoke and suddenly, a massive magic array unfolded beneath her, encompassing Yubelluna, Kuisha, and the others.
“Get away!”
Kuisha, Coriana, and Misteeta took to the air, trying to distance themselves from Yubelluna.
But it was too late!
Radiant light erupted from the magic formation. Centered on Yubelluna, the magic array covered an area of a hundred meters and exploded in all directions.
Boom!
“Ah-hhhh!!!!!!”
Outside the dimension, the watching audience couldn’t help but draw in a cold breath. Realizing the inevitable defeat, Bomb Queen had used herself as bait to try and drag the enemy down with her. She was truly a woman with boldness and madness!
“One 【Queen】 from Tenraku-Sama’s side, exit the field!”
“One 【Bishop】 from Sairaorg-sama’s side, exit the field!”
“Now I announce, this match is won by Team Sairaorg!”
The voice of the host echoed in the air, while Kuisha and Coriana’s disheveled figures emerged from the rubble.
“Cough… Cough… Cough…”
“Even Misteeta got taken out. It seems we underestimated their resolve, Kuisha.”
Still shaken, Coriana couldn’t help but chuckle. Though they had ultimately secured victory, neither Coriana nor Kuisha felt the joy they should have. Kuisha even punched the rubble in frustration.
“Damn it, that woman tricked us!”
At the same time, outside the dimension—
“Yubelluna, I told you to do your best, not to recklessly endanger yourself!” Tenraku spoke with a low voice while treating Yubelluna’s grievous injuries.
“Tenraku-Sama, I… I…”
Feeling utterly weak, Yubelluna’s face was filled with shame. While Tenraku-Sama had instructed them to do their best, she also wanted to bring victory back for Tenraku-Sama. Losing to the enemy like this was unbearable.
“You foolish woman, I expect you to serve me for a thousand, ten thousand years. Never do something so foolish again!”
“If you’re dissatisfied, then engrave this humiliation in your heart and become stronger, much stronger!”
“Yes, Tenraku-Sama…”
Feeling an overwhelming warmth, tears glistened in Yubelluna’s eyes as she clung tightly to her King before finally losing consciousness…
