"That's reasonable!"
Paimon nodded repeatedly.
Just like Lumine, she was also a die-hard Han Feng fan.
Since Boss Han had said it was possible, then there naturally had to be a chance.
With that thought, she found a comfortable spot on the ground and lay down.
"Lumine, I'll leave myself in your care!"
"Go to sleep. I'm still waiting for you to summon the Magus of Light and protect me!"
Lumine waved her hand with a smile.
"Hehe, leave it to me!"
Paimon gave a cheeky grin.
Aside from eating and Mora, she was also exceptionally good at sleeping.
She stretched lazily, slowly closed her eyes, and soon fell asleep.
"Honorary Knight, is this all Paimon needs to do?"
Little Klee asked in a hushed voice as she looked at the sleeping Paimon.
She hadn't taken action yet.
She planned to see how Paimon did it first, then simply follow her example.
"It should... work, right?"
Lumine rested her chin on her hand, sounding uncertain.
Han Feng had only said that they needed to use magic to defeat magic.
She didn't know if this was really what he meant.
Just as she was considering whether to ask Han Feng, something suddenly happened to Paimon.
A black-and-white translucent figure slowly rose from Paimon's body, like a ghost emerging from her sleeping form.
"Is this what you look like when you're dreaming?"
Lumine curiously looked at the sleeping Paimon on the ground, then at the bewildered Paimon standing beside her.
"I don't know! I woke up and I was already like this!"
Paimon scratched her head, equally confused.
Especially when she looked at her own body lying on the ground, the sensation was indescribably strange.
"I know! This is kind of like the soul leaving the body in Journey to the West."
Lumine stroked her chin thoughtfully.
The two of them had both read the Journey to the West manga.
Sun Wukong often left his body in spirit form.
The situation was quite similar.
"Whatever. As long as I'm conscious, that's enough!"
Paimon didn't feel anything wrong with herself and became extremely excited.
This meant she could summon the Magus of Light!
The thought alone made her incredibly excited.
"Lumine, Klee, watch me!"
After waving at the two girls, Paimon searched for a wide, flat area.
The conditions for summoning the Magus of Light required the power of the earth.
She remembered that very clearly.
"Phew!"
After taking a deep breath, Paimon took out the red hexagram emblem.
Whoosh!
She imitated Daichi's cool move, spinning it several times in her hand before inserting it into the Magus of Light Gun.
Click!
After cocking it, Paimon gripped the gun with both hands and aimed forward.
"Magus of Light Gun! Fire!"
As her voice fell,
Paimon vaguely saw blue light flash from the eyes of a certain mecha.
Whoosh!
The hexagram emblem, wrapped in green light, suddenly shot out from the Magus of Light Gun.
It rolled across the open ground ahead, leaving white traces and sparkling particles wherever it passed.
Under the cover of night, it was particularly dazzling.
Soon, a dazzling hexagram magic circle appeared on the ground.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Streams of white hexagram-shaped light rose from the magic circle into the sky.
From a distance, it looked as though a gigantic white pillar of light had appeared beneath the night sky.
"Hm? What's that?"
Naturally, this sudden phenomenon caught the attention of Scaramouche and the Raiden Shogun.
Their confrontation immediately came to a halt.
Both turned their gazes toward the white light.
However, perhaps because they were being cautious, or for some other reason, neither of them made a move.
They simply watched in silence.
They were no different from the villains in Magus of Light who stood around watching the hero transform.
It could only be said—the transformation sequence really was invincible!
"Did it work?"
Seeing the white light right before her, Paimon's eyes lit up.
It was exactly the same as described in the manga.
Clang!
At that moment, the hexagram emblem returned from the magic circle and landed back in her hand.
"Next, it's time to summon the mecha!"
Paimon closed her eyes and recalled Daichi's movements from the manga.
Then she suddenly opened her eyes, gripped the hexagram emblem with both hands, and raised it high above her head.
"Domokosalam! Shine forth! Magus of Light!"
As Paimon shouted, the hexagram emblem in her hands erupted with dazzling blue light, looking exceptionally brilliant against the night sky.
The blue radiance then converged into a bolt of blue lightning, which shot straight toward the center of the hexagram magic circle!
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Under the guidance of the blue lightning, the white light of the hexagram magic circle blazed to its utmost brilliance,
while simultaneously generating a powerful gust of wind.
As Paimon stared in stunned amazement, an exhilarating piece of music suddenly rang out.
Dun dun dun dun, dun, dun dun dun...
Accompanied by the music, a red mecha with a gigantic face and a yellow beard slowly emerged from the hexagram magic circle.
Starlike particles scattered around it, while yellow lightning flashed intermittently nearby.
It gave off an overwhelming sense of grandeur.
Paimon was so shocked that she couldn't speak.
"This... this is way too cool!"
A moment later, she recovered and became wildly excited.
"Wahahaha! This super-cool thing is mine!"
Of course, she knew this was merely the summoning form.
The true Magus of Light wasn't supposed to look like an old man with a beard.
With that thought, Paimon spread her arms and flew straight toward the mecha before her.
Whoosh!
A flash of light passed over her.
Paimon's outfit transformed into combat gear.
Her clothes turned red, with a shoulder guard appearing on each shoulder.
A conspicuous yellow sun emblem appeared on her forehead.
Perhaps sensing the arrival of its master,
whoosh!
Another beam of green light descended from the Magus of Light, directly guiding Paimon inside.
Soon,
Paimon found herself inside a sealed space bathed in red.
Beneath her feet was a floating hexagram platform.
"This place is pretty interesting!"
Paimon wasn't nervous in the slightest.
She had already seen it in the manga.
Now she was simply experiencing it for herself.
As for the hexagram platform beneath her feet, Paimon didn't think she needed it at all.
She could fly!
What did she need this thing for?
Besides, she'd always wondered while reading the manga—could anyone really stand steadily on such a tiny platform?
Shaking her head, Paimon stopped thinking about it.
She remembered Boss Han saying that this mecha didn't have a voice system.
Everything depended on her!
With that thought, Paimon waved her little hand and shouted,
"Magus of Light, transform!"
As her voice fell, the gigantic-faced mecha began to move slowly.
First, its legs emerged!
Then its arms!
Finally, its head!
Before long, a towering, handsome red humanoid mecha stood on the wilderness!
Perhaps because it was created by the system, this Magus of Light was dozens of meters tall!
It was nearly the same size as the monster Bakugon!
For a moment, two colossal beings faced each other from afar across the White Clouds.
A great battle was about to begin!
