The golden spear cut through the air, not a single stain left on its blade.
Bathed in the light of the exploding soul orbs that filled the sky, Aozaki Rin did not stop his movents. He knew he had only just rescued a portion of the souls; there were still many more.
The Spear of Longinus in his hand, now carrying a higher power, began to slash. Rin continuously sliced open the grotesque, massive body of the otherworldly monster, thrusting deeper into its core!
And with each slash, he released tens of thousands of souls. This caused the grotesque creature, already suppressed by the laws of the world and suffering increasingly severe injuries, to beco even more frantic.
—SCREEE!!!
A shriek filled with ntal pollution echoed through the sky. The otherworldly monster, driven by its instinct for survival, recklessly detonated all of its giant tentacles that had already reached into the world!
Turbid, foul-slling blood, mixed with splattering black mud, began to fly everywhere. At the sa ti, a ntal toxin potent enough to instantly drive most people into a frenzy rippled outwards with the blast wave of the explosion.
Although he himself was not affected or hard in any way, Rin knew that if he allowed this ntal toxin to spread, even if he saved the lives of Fuyuki's citizens, the land beneath their feet would be severely eroded by the pollution, and it might even spread to other cities.
The golden spear in his hand imdiately changed its direction of attack. Rin snapped the fingers of his left hand, and countless sheets of paper arranged themselves into a specific formation in the air.
At the sa ti, the incantations on the papers lit up. With the Spear of Longinus as the center, they imdiately began to absorb the spreading ntal toxin.
A current of what looked like countless black particles was instantly gathered and drawn towards the golden spear.
But the mont these black particles touched the spear, they were instantly destroyed as if by so unseen force, dissolving in an instant.
This delayed him for at least three seconds.
In normal tis, three seconds might not seem like much.
But it was in that mont, while the young man was eliminating the ntal toxin, that the otherworldly monster, already knowing that to linger in this world ant certain doom, retracted back into the long, narrow spatial rift before Rin could fully turn his spear and bring it down.
It then caused the spatial rift to heal itself.
Not good! There are still souls that haven't been released!
Without a second thought, Rin instinctively followed the monster's figure and dove directly into the spatial rift.
"This..."
On the roof of the Ryudou Temple, Arthur watched as the otherworldly monster and the young man disappeared from the sky, and he stood there, stunned.
He knew that if not for the monster's last-ditch self-destruction and release of ntal toxins, which had constrained the young man's movents for a few seconds, all the souls would have already been rescued from its body.
But now...
If one were to say the young man had failed, he had already released hundreds of thousands of souls. Even standing here, Arthur could vaguely feel that so of the surrounding citizens had already regained their vital signs.
However, if one were to say he had succeeded, the majority of the remaining souls had still been taken away by that otherworldly monster.
"Why did it have to be like this..."
Neither a good ending nor a bad one. Arthur found it hard to accept for a mont. But what worried him more now was Aozaki Rin, who had disappeared along with the monster.
"That foolish boy, what was he thinking!"
Aboard the sky-boat, Gilgash watched as the situation before him changed several tis in a matter of tens of seconds, only to end up like this. His expression couldn't help but turn grim.
He wasn't concerned about the hundreds of thousands of souls taken by the monster, but rather, he felt that Rin's reckless act of following it into the spatial rift was simply foolish.
After all, no one could guarantee where that rift led, or what might be inside.
And the worst-case scenario was undoubtedly that the young man would fail in his pursuit of the otherworldly shadow and et his end.
"The one this King has taken a liking to is not so fragile. You'd better stay alive, boy..."
...
anwhile, at the Sajou residence.
Still reeling from the shocking scene of the "rain of souls" scattering outside the window, Mash suddenly heard two groans from behind her.
At the sa ti, the communication spell on her shield, which had been blocked by Aozaki Rin since last night, suddenly returned to normal.
—[Hey! Mash! Can you hear , Mash! What on earth happened! That Lancer didn't do anything to you, did he? Why did we suddenly lose Fujimaru's vital signs? And are you all safe now?]
"Th-That, the situation is a bit complicated. I'll contact you again later, Doctor!"
Anxious questions continuously sounded in the air, forcing Mash to temporarily close the communication link. She imdiately ran towards the two sofas in the living room, where the two girls were now gradually waking up.
"Senpai, Miss Sajou, are you alright? Are you feeling unwell anywhere?"
Seeing that Ritsuka had regained her breath and heartbeat, and was even yawning as if sleepy, Mash excitedly rushed forward and hugged her, leaving the still-dazed Ritsuka at a loss.
"Eh? What's wrong, Mash? Why do you look like you're about to cry? But, I rember I was just chatting with you, how did I suddenly..."
Not understanding what had happened, Ritsuka blinked. But she soon noticed that Sajou Manaka, who had stood up beside her, seed to be in a strange emotional state.
"Gone, gone, gone, gone, Rei is gone, that child is gone, my 'prince' has disappeared..."
Her azure eyes had at so point beco hollow. After reconnecting with that place, Manaka instantly knew what had happened.
Honestly, she had never expected that at the mont the sacrificial ritual was completed and the entire city of Fuyuki was turned into an alien domain, she would temporarily lose her connection to the [Root], causing her to beco like an ordinary magus, unable to resist this change.
And the "precognition" that had been unable to provide any information due to Aozaki Rin's presence had, at this mont, returned to its forr state.
So, Manaka knew in that instant that soone was gone.
"Um, Manaka-chan, are you okay?"
Hearing the girl continuously mutter the word "gone," Ritsuka asked cautiously. She was suddenly t with Manaka's hollow, lightless eyes, which sent a chill down her spine.
"I see, Chaldea... You seem to have a device that can transfer between different eras and worlds."
"Since that child is no longer in this world, there is no need to stay here. That child... he definitely wouldn't die so easily... As his sister, I know very well. As my future 'Prince Charming,' that child must still be alive, waiting for in another world."
"So, give your device. Take to Chaldea."
It wasn't a request, but more like a command.
The petite girl, as if a supre princess treading the line between black and white, spoke with an ethereal voice that brooked no refusal.
Ritsuka and Mash, trembling and huddled together, subconsciously nodded in agreent.
...
In a certain desert, at an unknown ti and place, a spatial rift tore open without warning.
And a young man in a white cloak, holding a golden spear, seed to have fainted and fell straight out of the rift, landing in the sand.
The wind blew the yellow sand, kicking up a dusty curtain.
If nothing unexpected happened, the young man's body would be buried by the sand in a matter of monts.
However, in the distance, a figure completely shrouded in a ragged cloak was slowly approaching...
