[Monster Card — Savior Dragon!]
[Monster Card — Stardust Dragon!]
[Monster Card — Dark Magician Girl!]
[Using Dark Magician Girl as material, synchronizing with the Synchro Disk!]
[Synchro Summon — Savior Star Dragon!]
[Savior Star Dragon's effect activated!]
[Light of Salvation!]
A dragon's roar echoed behind Anos.
In that instant, Natsuki Minamiya felt sothing she had never experienced before.
Powerlessness.
Emptiness.
It felt as if every drop of magical energy inside her body had been drained away.
Magic was not just magic.
Magic was deeply tied to life force itself.
"What… are you…?"
For the first ti in years, Natsuki felt completely helpless.
Even worse, the connection between her and her guardian had been severed.
"Your toy seems pretty impressive."
A slender golden figure appeared behind Anos.
The Golden Guardian.
It was the protector Natsuki had obtained through a contract with a demon from another dinsion.
Its strength was comparable to the familiars of a True Ancestor. It was one of the main reasons she had built such a terrifying reputation over the years.
She had always known she could not defeat a True Ancestor.
But this boy had defeated her instantly.
And not only that.
He had directly taken control of her guardian.
Because both her magic and her guardian had been neutralized, her body was beginning to shut down.
Not just this magical projection, but even her real body inside the Prison Barrier.
According to her estimate, if this continued for half an hour, the Prison Barrier itself would collapse.
Just who was this boy?
Could he really be the rumored Fourth True Ancestor?
But she had never heard of the Fourth True Ancestor possessing abilities like this.
"Relax, Natsuki."
"I just don't want you interfering with us, I'll give it back in a little while."
Anos smiled calmly before turning back to Ophis.
He had used the power of Monster Card — Savior Star Dragon.
Savior Star Dragon could temporarily nullify a target's power and use that power itself.
In simple terms, it could strip an opponent of their abilities and render them powerless.
Against gods, that ant losing divine authority.
Against a witch like Natsuki, it ant losing magical power.
However, two conditions had to be t:
1. The target's strength must be equal to or below that of Savior Star Dragon.
2. The target must be within the range of the Light of Salvation.
Once both conditions were satisfied, their ability could be taken.
Against stronger enemies it had limitations, but even then it could still weaken them.
In any world, it was an extrely overpowered ability.
"Ophis, let's hurry and pick sothing."
Anos casually held her hand and continued browsing the store.
Natsuki lay on the floor, staring at him with sharp curiosity.
Although his power could not be used for long due to incompatibility with this world, there was still enough ti to finish buying underwear for Ophis.
"Mm."
Ophis nodded calmly and continued looking through the shelves.
anwhile, Natsuki's mind was racing.
"What is that boy doing on Itogami Island?"
"How long before my power returns?"
"If this lasts too long, the Prison Barrier will collapse."
"And that girl… she's definitely not normal either."
Then she suddenly saw sothing shocking.
"My chest seems a little small."
The black-haired girl muttered thoughtfully.
Then she casually picked up a larger bra and held it against herself.
And then sothing unbelievable happened.
Her chest slowly expanded until it matched the size of the bra.
Natsuki stared in disbelief.
For a mont she almost felt jealous.
Then she caught herself.
No.
This was extrely strange.
"Ophis, don't just change your body like that."
Anos rubbed his forehead.
"And the way you speak, rember?"
"Mm… I… I…"
While speaking, Ophis suddenly picked up a black bra.
Then—
Crunch.
She took a bite.
Just like that, she ate it.
"What kind of behavior is that…?"
Even Natsuki was stunned.
Thankfully, the boy seed to have a more normal reaction.
"Wait, wait!"
Anos quickly stopped her.
"Ophis, that's not food."
He sighed.
Even though he intended to buy whatever she tried on anyway, he couldn't allow her to think that eating clothing was normal.
"Not edible?"
Ophis had simply noticed a pleasant scent and wanted to see what it tasted like.
"Not edible."
Anos replied firmly.
He had already made up his mind.
Teaching Ophis basic common sense would be a long and difficult journey.
Being innocent was fine.
But she absolutely could not grow up without any awareness of the world.
Even Ais had more common sense than Ophis.
"Alright."
Ophis nodded obediently.
After so ti, under Anos's guidance, she finally chose several sets she liked.
"We'll take these."
In front of Natsuki's stunned expression, Anos and Ophis carried a huge pile of underwear to the counter.
"Did they co shopping or stocking inventory…?"
Natsuki muttered.
The amount they bought would last a normal girl decades But then she rembered sothing.
Ophis could change her body size.
So maybe that wasn't even an issue.
Not long after they left, Natsuki suddenly felt her power return.
Her magic.
Her guardian.
Even the Chains of Commandnts were back.
With a flash of spatial magic, she imdiately began searching for the two of them.
Unfortunately, she would never find them again.
Unless her spatial magic could cross dinsions.
Because Anos and Ophis had already left that world.
…
A few minutes earlier.
Anos finished giving Ophis one final reminder.
"Understood?"
"If you ever encounter a Dragon Eater, co find imdiately."
"Dragon Eater…"
Ophis thought for a mont.
About ten seconds later she rembered.
That extrely unpleasant creature.
"I understand."
She nodded.
"If necessary, I'll co to you. As long as you're wearing the things I bought, I should be able to contact you."
Anos had secretly placed small magic arrays in all the items he bought.
Dragon power was ineffective against Dragon Eaters.
The sa would apply to the Crimson Dragon God.
But power from other sources would work.
"I see."
Ophis nodded again.
Being looked after like this felt new to her.
There was a warm feeling in her chest.
She liked it.
It felt almost like returning ho to the quiet space between dinsions.
