Nia walked out, looking at Inaba Tsukiyo with some hesitation, then, encouraged by Kurumi and Yoshino's gazes, she spoke.
"I remember you previously transformed into Medusa from mythology. So, can you also transform into King Arthur?"
King Arthur from legends, since Inaba Tsukiyo is so dismissive of Ellen's weapons, has she perhaps seen the Original Body?
Inaba Tsukiyo didn't speak. She simply slammed Ellen's weapon onto the ground. A flash of golden light, and a holy sword with a divine aura appeared in her hand.
As the holy sword appeared, Inaba Tsukiyo's clothes also began to change. A magnificent and noble suit of armor, a six-petaled skirt, golden greaves on her feet, and knee guards integrated with the armor.
Divinity and nobility intertwined, like the noble and supreme Knight King, with a blue cape draped over her back.
Inaba Tsukiyo, clad in armor, seemed like a different person, transforming from her original cute Little Loli self into a knight, a king, an ancient hero.
The formidable knight made the few people present swallow hard. Even Ellen forgot her body's fatigue, staring blankly at the transformed Inaba Tsukiyo.
"Is this… the attire of the legendary King Arthur? It's truly…"
Nia couldn't help but swallow, constantly scrutinizing the transformed Inaba Tsukiyo, and looking at the holy sword in her hand, she felt an urge to touch it.
"Don't move, Nia. This is the King's Sword. I'm not sure what the consequences would be if you touched it."
The majestic yet concerned words made Nia stop her actions. Inaba Tsukiyo released her right hand, and golden light enveloped her palm. A long spear appeared in her hand.
sword of promised victory and the Shining Spear of the End were simultaneously held by Inaba Tsukiyo. The aura released by both the holy spear and the holy sword made Nia involuntarily take a few steps back.
Seeing that she had achieved her desired effect, Inaba Tsukiyo nodded in satisfaction, then released the transformation, returning to her original appearance.
To be honest, simply using sword of promised victory was fine, but trying to use the Shining Spear of the End was still very difficult with her current abilities.
The power of the holy spear was clearly above that of the holy sword, and this was with the thirteen restraints on the holy spear limiting its inherent power.
If the holy spear's thirteen restraints were fully released, Inaba Tsukiyo couldn't guarantee that she wouldn't be controlled by the inner power of the holy spear.
After showcasing King Arthur's weapons, Inaba Tsukiyo returned to Ellen's front.
By this time, Ellen no longer had the stamina to run. Powerless, she collapsed onto the ground, allowing the treadmill to carry her into Imaginary Space, and then out of Imaginary Space again.
"This is the person who captured me back then? It's fake, right? With such poor stamina, she's still the world's number one Magician."
Nia couldn't help but poke Ellen's cheek, dodged Ellen's angry bite, and said with some doubt.
The woman she couldn't even deal with using all her strength was actually like this? Is it a joke? Has being the world's number one become so worthless?
Kurumi, the only one who knew the truth, simply smiled helplessly, looking at the room that had returned to its original state, and smiled helplessly.
Originally, she thought Ellen would have an exciting battle with Inaba Tsukiyo, but Inaba Tsukiyo directly used her Imaginary Space arms to control Ellen's limbs, and forcibly removed her visualization device while she struggled.
And then… there was no 'then'. Without her visualization device, Ellen, even if she were just an ordinary high school girl, probably couldn't fight back.
As for the other DEM company members who came with Ellen, because Yoshino was here, they couldn't be killed. They could only find a way to make them remember her prowess.
The first thing Inaba Tsukiyo thought of was the move she used on the AST members when she first arrived.
As these people were unable to move due to gravity, the Imaginary Space arms made them strike the same poses as the AST members before.
And then… everyone saw Inaba Tsukiyo pull something out of Imaginary Space: a bottle containing green liquid.
At first, they didn't think much of this item. When they trained at DEM company, what hadn't they seen? Did this thing really think it could scare them?
This confidence vanished when Inaba Tsukiyo applied the item to 'that' place on them. They also experienced the same feeling that the AST members had felt.
They had undergone DEM company's high-intensity training, but that was physical pain, external pain, whereas the 'burning sensation' brought by medicated oil was internal.
Facing the wailing of the DEM company members, the Spirits couldn't help but take a step back, cautiously looking at Inaba Tsukiyo.
They didn't want to be caught and beaten by Inaba Tsukiyo. This kind of internal factor was too terrifying.
While these DEM company members were still wailing, Inaba Tsukiyo erased all their memories and sent them to the island where Nia was found before, letting them scream freely there.
Afterward, Inaba Tsukiyo restored the damaged home. Using the power of the First Herrscher was very easy to do. These guys had apparently used unknown means to make the public evacuate earlier, so they didn't witness this scene.
Only Ellen, who claimed to be the strongest Magician, was left running on the treadmill Inaba Tsukiyo had set up. Perhaps knowing from Kurumi that this person had poor stamina, Inaba Tsukiyo devised this method to torment her.
While making her run, she also recorded this scene with a camera.
Although Ellen's strength was not enough to impress her, her capabilities were undeniable. The fact that she had once captured Nia showed that she truly had ability.
It would be too much of a waste to simply get rid of such a formidable person, and she couldn't let her go back… "I've got it. I know what to do."
"Since I can't let you go back, then you shall become one of us, Ellen."
