"Even though I used my full King's Magic, why does this woman still possess such immense power?!"
Capricorn dodged left and right, occasionally counterattacking.
He struggled to withstand Kana's full-power attacks, already showing signs of fatigue. He could only evade Kana's physical attacks.
Because the ground below had long since collapsed.
Gray, Loki, and Lucy had all jumped onto some broken buildings.
Although Kana had largely confined her attacks to a certain range, the aftershocks still damaged the surroundings.
"Damn it, I don't want to turn into a woman, but such a powerful woman, it seems… also…"
Zoldier, possessing Capricorn, looked back and forth between Gray, Loki, and Kana, feeling extremely conflicted about whether this choice was good or not.
However, facing Kana's torrential attacks, he didn't seem to have time to think, otherwise he might have been finished here.
"Since that's the case, let me personally show you the horror of this magic!!"
Ink-black magic, accompanied by Capricorn's sinister laugh, swiftly enveloped Kana.
"What is this?" Loki was startled by this sight, seeming to understand Capricorn's next move.
"Damn it, Kana, be careful! He's the Capricorn Star Spirit, and this isn't his true form. He wants to seize your body! He's broken this taboo!"
"There are no more physical limitations! Quickly dodge that black magic!"
"Only non-humans, only Star Spirits, can deal with him!"
Loki shouted out loud, but his body was already running towards Kana.
"What!!!"
Kana looked at the black substance surging towards her, quickly jumped up, using the Moonwalk technique to stay in the air, and then tried to attack Capricorn below with her magic cards.
"It's useless! Let's see how long you can dodge!!!"
Seeing Capricorn's rampant laughter, and Kana's current helplessness and panic, she tightly clutched a golden key in her hand.
Her body was trembling slightly: "Star Spirits killing each other… this… I…"
She then looked at the dodging Kana in the distance and the rushing Loki.
Kana is my partner. I can't just stand by. I…
Kana… Star Spirit…
These two sides swayed back and forth in Lucy's heart until she saw Kana's gaze, which reassured Lucy, telling her to leave it all to her.
"Kana?"
"Sorry, Capricorn, I'll apologize to you properly later!!!"
"Open, Gate of Taurus, Taros!"
Lucy stretched out her hand and forcefully drew a line in the void. A golden portal flashed, and a muscular cow-man stepped through the gate. Seeing the two warring parties and Lucy's trembling hands, he immediately understood the seriousness of the situation.
"Miss Lucy, leave it to me! Moo~"
Taros gave Lucy a heart gesture, trying to cheer her up. He, of course, knew Lucy's heart for Star Spirits, so to prevent Lucy from being sad any longer, he decided to end this quickly.
"Taste this blow of mine, the heavy chop of the battle-axe! Moo~"
Taurus Taros seized the opportunity. Taking advantage of a gap when Capricorn was sent flying by a punch from Leo, he jumped up with his battle-axe and chopped down heavily.
The force was so great that the entire ground trembled. He truly lived up to his reputation as the strongest Star Spirit among the Twelve Zodiacs, possibly ranking first in this regard.
"Captain Leo, now's the time! Knock that person out of Capricorn's body!"
Taros shouted loudly.
"I know! Thanks, Taros."
"King's Light - Leo Star!" Golden light flared on Leo's hand, about to strike Capricorn's abdomen. However, Capricorn tried to use Taros's force to retreat and dodge.
"You bastard, be still!"
"Card - Wind Wall!" Kana flicked a card with two fingers, sending it flying rapidly behind Capricorn, creating a wind wall to block his retreat.
"Ugh~" A mass of black substance was spat out, slowly forming a humanoid figure lying on the ground.
"Sorry, Capricorn, was I too rough?" Leo asked with concern.
"No, it's fine. If you weren't rough, you couldn't separate me from that guy!" Capricorn said coldly, clutching his abdomen and looking at Zoldier.
"You, you really got possessed by such a person!"
"No wonder you haven't returned to the Celestial Spirit World. Moo~" Taros patted Capricorn's shoulder with his left hand, looking like good buddies, but a faint golden light emanated from his body.
"Alright, once this is dealt with, come find me! I've saved up some good wine, just waiting for you! Moo~" Taros invited cheerfully, happy to see his friend freed.
"Thank you, Taros!"
"Moo~, my dearest Lucy, remember to call on me again~ Moo" Taros didn't care about Capricorn's thanks. With starry eyes, he twisted his body to bid farewell to Lucy, then returned to the Celestial Spirit World.
"Damn you guys…"
"I seem to have returned to my original body, that's great, that's great, since that's the case… *cough*"
Zoldier hadn't celebrated too early. After letting out a breath, he frantically shouted, "What's happening? My body is disappearing…"
"No… no, save me… Lady Layla!"
Zoldier looked at Lucy's appearance, as if crying to someone, but no one could give him any reply.
Amidst screams, his body gradually turned into specks of light and vanished from the spot.
"Hmm~ Looks like it's resolved!" Kana walked to Lucy's side, hugged her gently, and continued, "Thank you, Lucy! Truly, thank you."
"No… as long as you're okay… Kana, I'm glad I could help!" Lucy quickly waved her hand, humbly.
…
"How do you see Lucy? She must be in great anguish right now!" Leo asked, supporting Capricorn.
"As expected of Layla-sama's daughter, she loves Star Spirits and is loved by them. I know this very well."
"Then, if that's the case, you'll lend Lucy a hand, won't you?"
"No…" Leo was startled at first when he heard Capricorn.
"As things stand, I no longer have power to lend to Miss Lucy. My power already belongs to Miss Lucy!"
Capricorn said gently, looking at Lucy.
"Is that so!" Leo smiled in relief, watching Capricorn walk towards Lucy.
"Capricorn, I'm sorry, I… I'm truly sorry!" Lucy, seeing Capricorn walk towards her, ran a few steps, bowed, and sincerely apologized to Capricorn.
"No~, Miss Lucy, your decision was a wonderful one. My power belongs to you. Now I can finally return to my master's side! We Star Spirits have always understood your feelings!"
"So, please accept this key!" Capricorn reached out and held Lucy's hand. With a flash of light, a shining golden key appeared in Lucy's hand.
"Capricorn is willing to serve you!" Capricorn bowed respectfully.
His body also slowly shimmered with golden light, preparing to return to the Celestial Spirit World.
"Alright, Lucy, I'm going back too. See you later!" Leo stepped forward, patted Lucy's head, and comforted her.
A flash of golden light, and they vanished from the spot.
"Wait… now I don't have a partner anymore…" Gray suddenly remembered something and shouted from the side.
Kana, however, silently hugged Lucy, happy for her.
