At this moment, outside the 'Tomb Keeper's Palace', the Red Wings members had finished their respective battles. Nagi stood amidst a pile of rubble, clutching AVLUC's throat and lifting him into the air.
"Heh heh… Impressive, unbelievably strong, truly worthy of being…" AVLUC said intermittently, his mouth overflowing with blood. Despite being choked by Nagi, he spoke as if nothing was wrong.
"The Twilight Princess… Where is she? Tell me before I finish you off!" Nagi panted, speaking to him with murderous intent.
"Heh, you don't still think I'm the mastermind behind all this, do you?" Hearing Nagi's words, AVLUC's expression finally changed. He said with a mocking look on his face.
"What?" Nagi said, somewhat disbelievingly, listening to AVLUC. He didn't understand what the other party's words meant.
Suddenly, a black beam of light appeared from nowhere, piercing through AVLUC's body and Nagi's right shoulder simultaneously. Their magic barriers had no effect whatsoever!
"Nagi!?" Everyone who had just finished fighting cried out and ran over when they saw the injured Nagi.
"Who is it?" Jack Lakan ran while looking around. Suddenly, Jack Lakan nimbly spotted a black figure in the distance. "That's…"
"This is bad! Strongest Defense!" Realizing the danger, Seguto came in front of Nagi, raised his right hand, and dozens of magic circles appeared before everyone. It was his most proficient Strongest Defense!
Immediately after, a gigantic black orb appeared in front of everyone. Seguto's Strongest Defense was instantly shattered. Lacan tried to block this attack with his bare hands, but his hands, already filled with 'qi', were directly vaporized after less than a second of resisting the black orb. The combined Strongest Defense of everyone was easily disintegrated by this attack.
With a "Boom!!", the black orb exploded violently. All the members of the Red Wings fell to the ground, suffering injuries of varying degrees.
"Ugh… How is this possible…" Lacan, his face covered in blood, said in disbelief, unable to believe that he had lost his hands just by defending against an attack.
"Could it be… that is…" The disheveled Al struggled to lift his head, looking at the black shadow appearing behind the smoke and dust.
After the explosion's dust, a black figure appeared. He wore a large black cloak; his appearance, everything about him, was covered by black. But the aura emanating from him made the fearless Jack Lakan feel despair, not because of a difference in strength, but because the moment he saw the opponent, he felt that he was absolutely no match for him.
They had only received one attack from the opponent, yet this single attack had plunged them into crisis. His hands, and Konoe Eishun, who had also protected Nagi, were severely injured. Most importantly, Yoshino, who had gone ahead, was still nowhere to be seen. This was their most pressing concern. Where was Yoshino now?
Nagi, who had just managed to regain consciousness, looked at the completely black figure and asked with difficulty: "You… Who exactly are you!?"
"Me, huh…" The newcomer heard Nagi's shout, stopped, and looked at her. "You can call me 'Origin Mage'!"
"Origin Mage?!" Everyone was startled by his words, feeling as if they had forgotten their injuries.
"Oh, right, Yoshino went into the palace after dealing with the enemy earlier, and she hasn't come out yet. Could it be…" Konoe Eishun remembered that Yoshino had been inside for a while and quickly asked everyone.
"Oh, are you talking about that Little Girl? I hadn't planned on personally sending her back to the embrace of the gods, but her performance was a bit disappointing. Don't worry, I just sent her back to the embrace of the gods. I believe the gods will favor that child with a pure heart. But you don't need to worry, soon I will make this entire world return to nothingness, and you will quickly see her." The Origin Mage said indifferently. After speaking, he glanced at the fallen people of the Red Wings, then turned and walked back to the altar.
