Seeing Meivi shattered into countless pieces, Hoshino Sakuo panicked and hurriedly picked up the fallen ice crystal fragments, trying to piece them back together.
“Doll, did I kill someone?!”
Hearing the tremble in Sakuo’s voice, the doll was far calmer.
“She’s not human.
She’s a demon, just like Anna.
It’s not that easy for her to die.”
Flona had told Sakuo about Natsume Oto and Seriana’s identities, yet surprisingly hadn’t mentioned Meivi’s.
Perhaps she was afraid of scaring Sakuo.
After all, when a demon princess went berserk, it wasn’t something an ordinary person could withstand.
“The doll’s right.
Meivi is about to wake up.
We need to find a place to hide first.”
Anna’s voice sounded behind Sakuo.
She spun around sharply and saw a girl dressed in extremely revealing clothing.
Small rounded demon horns grew from her head.
She wore a leather bustier that formed a deep V at the chest, unreservedly exposing her beautifully lined collarbones, smooth shoulders, and fine scales.
At her waist was a pair of small bat wings.
Lower down was a high-slit tasseled leather skirt, the hem extremely short.
It barely covered the vital area in front, fully displaying a pair of long, toned thighs.
“Succubus!” Sakuo reacted instantly.
Blushing, she covered her eyes and muttered, “Don’t drain my essence, don’t drain my essence.”
“It’s a nightmare.”
Seriana corrected her sternly.
She deeply disliked being mistaken for a succubus.
Nightmares were far more chaste than that bunch.
As for this outfit, it was simply a racial trait.
Sakuo said, “You’re actually comparing chastity with succubi?”
“That’s not the point.
Hurry and throw away the ice crystals.
Meivi is about to wake up.”
“She’s waking up?” Sakuo didn’t quite understand, but obediently tossed away the ice crystals in her hand.
Immediately after, before Sakuo’s astonished eyes, the ice crystals slowly gathered together, reforming into an ice sculpture.
Meivi lay inside it, like a princess who had eaten a poisoned apple and been placed in a crystal coffin.
Seeing this, Anna instantly pulled Sakuo into her arms with one hand.
Her bat wings spread open and rapidly grew larger.
The two rose into the air on the spot, air currents gently surging along the edges of her wings.
“Ah—wah—wah!
Anna, where are you taking me?” Sakuo cried out in surprise.
Even so, she didn’t forget to stuff the doll into her pocket to keep it from wriggling free and falling.
“Of course, to find a place to hide.
Cough, cough.”
Anna suddenly covered her mouth.
At that moment, Sakuo caught sight of bright red seeping from Anna’s hand.
“You’re injured!”
Seriana looked completely unconcerned as she withdrew her hand and supported the bend of Sakuo’s legs.
“It’s just a superficial wound.
I got hit by Meivi when I hid in her dream earlier.”
When Anna discovered that an external consciousness had invaded Xibai, she had tried to stop it.
But her injuries hadn’t fully healed, and she was driven out of Xibai’s mental space by the Web-Weaving Witch, who had the upper hand.
Right after that, the frost mist swept in.
A nightmare’s true body was far more fragile than its mind.
Once touched by the frost mist, it was extremely difficult to break free.
Because of that, she decisively fled into Meivi’s dream, avoiding the freezing.
However, Meivi soon found her within the dream and, without a word, punched her.
Judging by it, she must have been furious that Anna had interrupted her chance to meet Flona.
“But if we’re hiding, shouldn’t we bring Meivi with us?”
Sakuo felt that Anna shouldn’t abandon Meivi just because she’d been punched once.
“What are you thinking?
The one we’re hiding from is Meivi.”
The doll and Anna spoke in unison.
This only left Sakuo even more confused.
“Huh?”
Why hide from Meivi?
“Take a good look at what’s happening down there.”
After hearing this, Sakuo looked down and saw that the ice sculpture which had trapped Meivi earlier had already shattered at some unknown point.
Standing there was a tall suit of dark purple armor, inlaid with golden edges and radiating oppressive pressure.
“This is Meivi?”
“More accurately, it’s Meivi after dying once.”
“So when Meivi shattered into so many pieces, she really died?”
Anna, who was fully conscious, patiently explained.
“That’s right.
She died and then revived.
But the cost is obvious.
She becomes like a completely different person—far more eager for battle.
In short, she goes berserk.”
An immortal body.
Sakuo was a little shocked.
That was way too powerful.
Meivi seemed to sense movement over there.
She stomped a crater into the ground and charged straight toward Natsume Oto and Kirishima Xibai.
As the two were fighting fiercely, a black shadow suddenly tore through the air.
With a lift of her hand, the Web-Weaving Witch sent several sharp ice threads shooting up from the ground.
They were blocked by Meivi’s sweeping arm, and the collision of heavy armor sent shockwaves outward, knocking the Web-Weaving Witch back.
“Nice one, woof!”
Natsume Oto seized the opportunity and struck, black flames igniting around her fist as she lunged at the Web-Weaving Witch.
Though she didn’t know who the armored figure was, anyone who came to help her was most likely an ally.
In a sudden turn, Meivi stepped forward and grabbed Natsume Oto’s wrist.
The sheer force cut her attack short.
With brute strength, Natsume Oto was violently hurled into the distance.
Fortunately, she was agile enough to flip in midair and adjust her posture, landing steadily without looking too miserable.
Natsume Oto pointed angrily at Meivi.
“What are you doing?
Aren’t you here to help?”
“When Meivi is berserk, she can’t distinguish friend from foe.
Please be careful.”
Seriana’s voice reached Natsume Oto’s ears.
“Woof, isn’t she just here to cause trouble then?”
Before she could finish speaking, Meivi suddenly threw a punch, crashing toward Natsume Oto with unstoppable force.
Natsume Oto neither dodged nor retreated.
She lowered her center of gravity and threw a punch of her own.
With a dull boom, a small fist collided with a hardened gauntlet.
A shockwave exploded outward, cracks spreading beneath Natsume Oto’s feet as Meivi staggered slightly.
Black flames raged violently around Natsume Oto’s fist as she increased her strength, actually forcing Meivi back.
“I don’t dare hurt Xibai’s body, but that doesn’t mean I don’t dare hit you, woof!”
The Web-Weaving Witch narrowed her eyes slyly, now reduced to a spectator instead.
“They’re fighting.”
She had originally been troubled by why a powerful helper had suddenly appeared on the opposing side.
But now, it seemed they had turned on each other.
It felt like a good chance to go cause trouble elsewhere and hasten this body’s transformation into a witch.
The Web-Weaving Witch’s original plan had been to let the sacrifices sow chaos, then sacrifice them to awaken the worm monster and draw the main firepower.
While creating massive disorder and collecting malice, she would turn Xibai into a witch.
That way, she would possess two witch bodies, making it more reasonable to occupy two cities.
She simply hadn’t expected the plan to be exposed ahead of time, with all the sacrifices dealt with.
Left with no choice, she had the worm monster stall Flona while she personally attached herself to Xibai.
Even then, she ran into the obstacle that was Natsume Oto.
“Since you’re fighting among yourselves, take your time.
I’ll be leaving first.”
Hearing this, the pushed-back Meivi didn’t continue fighting Natsume Oto.
Instead, she drew a massive greatsword from behind her.
With a single swing, she released a blade wave that not only sealed the Web-Weaving Witch’s escape route, but also severed her four ice-crystal spider legs.
Had the Web-Weaving Witch not dodged in time, it might have been her body that was cut apart.
After that, Meivi raised her gaze toward Natsume Oto and the Web-Weaving Witch.
Resting the greatsword on her shoulder, she curled a finger at both of them, brimming with provocation.
Natsume Oto and the Web-Weaving Witch both understood her meaning.
“This lunatic wants to fight the two of us at once?”
Way too arrogant.
“Is there any other way to stop them?”
The battle below had already reached a boiling point, and Sakuo’s heart was drawn tight as she watched.
Even though Anna and the doll were doing their utmost to disperse the crowd using illusions and lies, she knew that once the scale of the battle expanded further, innocent people would definitely be hurt.
Seriana looked toward a flash of golden light in the distance.
“Don’t worry.
Flona’s side should be finished by now.”
