"Mao You, wait for me here."
"I'll go take care of the trouble first."
As she spoke, Hoshimi Aya's gaze fixed on the Beast Ghost that Bringer had transformed into.
At the same time, Hoshimi Aya's hair turned scarlet and moved without wind.
This space was also dyed red, and a red moon rose from behind Hoshimi Aya.
"Re-red Moon?!!!"
Mao You looked at the rising red moon in shock.
Suddenly, Mao You seemed to sense something? She moved away from Hoshimi Aya as if her fur had stood on end.
Meanwhile, those fighting also noticed the abnormality over there.
"Is that... Aya?!"
Nicole stopped what she was doing and looked over.
They saw Hoshimi Aya standing atop a tall building, her scarlet eyes looking down. The red moon made Hoshimi Aya stand out strikingly.
Similarly, Tsukishiro Yanagi and the others on the other battlefield also noticed this, but because the pressure exerted by Hoshimi Miyabi was too great,
they could only glance over briefly before immediately looking away.
They couldn't casually stop fighting like Nicole's group.
After all, Nicole's side didn't have many high-tier combatants, but their numbers were enough to compensate for that.
"Everyone, hold on a little longer."
"Aya will be here to support us soon."
Tsukishiro Yanagi blocked a strike from Hoshimi Miyabi, slid back more than ten meters, and glanced at Hoshimi Aya.
"Understood!"
Saying that, Ellen rushed forward, carrying her shark scissors.
The others, seeing this, also adjusted their stance and charged forward. Individually, none of them were a match for Hoshimi Miyabi, so they could only attack together.
But they couldn't hurt Hoshimi Aya either, so the fight was exceptionally difficult.
They could only stall Hoshimi Miyabi, waiting for Hoshimi Aya to resolve the other issue.
After all, Hoshimi Aya had often lost control before, so she must have a way to solve this.
And over at Hoshimi Aya's side...
Hoshimi Aya took a deep breath while looking in Bringer's direction.
After all this buildup, it was time to deliver that line.
"Let this moonlight illuminate all the rivers!!!"
As she spoke, Hoshimi Aya leaped up and charged straight toward Bringer.
Bringer also noticed Hoshimi Aya.
"The Second Miss of the Hoshimi Family?!"
"Too bad, I have completely mastered the power of the Demon Blade?!"
"I will use the power of this Demon Blade... to make you accept defeat wholeheartedly!"
With that, Bringer summoned a giant arm, and next to the giant arm, a spatial rift appeared from which a huge sword hilt emerged.
He drew it out and swung it towards the flying Hoshimi Aya.
"You know nothing about my power!"
Hoshimi Aya looked at Bringer, who intended to meet her head-on, and sneered dismissively.
Soon, the distance between the two rapidly closed.
In an instant, at the moment of collision, a scarlet flash of blade light streaked by.
"Nicole, are you all alright?"
"Sorry for being late."
Hoshimi Aya sheathed her sword and landed smoothly on the ground, looking at the somewhat disheveled group of Nicole.
"We're fine, just a bit dusty and sustained some minor injuries."
"Nothing major."
"But... Aya, you finished it already?!"
Nicole pointed at the Beast Ghost, Bringer, behind Hoshimi Aya, who looked as if time had stopped.
Bringer was frozen in the motion of swinging his blade, as if time had stopped for him.
"Yes, it's resolved."
"Now I need to go solve the problem on the other side."
Hoshimi Aya nodded and then ran toward Tsukishiro Yanagi's location.
"Is... is this really okay?"
Corin looked at Bringer with some worry.
"Don't worry, little Corin."
"Aya is a Void Hunter after all. If she says it's resolved, it's definitely resolved."
Rina patted Corin's shoulder, signaling her to relax.
Just as Rina finished speaking, a layer of frost rapidly condensed on Bringer's body, then shattered instantly, causing Bringer along with it to scatter into ice shards on the ground.
Everyone:!!!!
"Holy crap!!!"
"Boss Nicole shattered into pieces!!!"
Billy stared at the ice shards in shock.
"Shut up!!"
"Can you watch your mouth? The way you say that makes it sound like I was cut into ice shards."
Nicole angrily slapped the back of Billy's head upon hearing his words.
"Since things here are settled, should we go check on the Proxy's situation too?!"
Koleda suggested, carrying her small hammer.
Since the issue here was resolved.
The others unanimously nodded at the suggestion and chased after Hoshimi Aya's direction.
And on Tsukishiro Yanagi's side...
"Where's Aya?"
"Why hasn't she arrived yet?!"
Ellen asked breathlessly while hiding behind a large rock, addressing Eous.
"Wait a bit longer. The signal shows Aya went to Bringer's side first."
"Just now, the aether signal source on Bringer's side has disappeared."
"That means Bringer has been dealt with."
"Everyone wait a bit longer, Aya should be here to support us soon."
Ling checked the signal.
Upon hearing this, Ellen mustered her strength again and charged forward.
Suddenly, Hoshimi Miyabi seemed to sense something and sharply increased the distance between herself and the group.
The others paused, wondering if something had been released? They looked behind themselves.
They saw Hoshimi Aya, dressed identically to Hoshimi Miyabi, speeding towards them.
And in Hoshimi Miyabi's sight, a giant Nine-Tailed Fox was charging toward them.
"Nine-Tailed Fox?!"
Hoshimi Miyabi looked at the charging Nine-Tailed Fox in confusion.
Suddenly, Hoshimi Miyabi felt a sharp pain in her head, clutching it. In her vision, the figures of the high-threat Etheralss in front of her disappeared, and the Nine-Tailed Fox disappeared as well.
In their place were Hoshimi Aya and Tsukishiro Yanagi and the others.
"It seems I won't need to take action."
Hoshimi Aya stopped her steps, watching Hoshimi Miyabi clutching her head.
"Yes, it seems Aya's arrival made the Section Chief sense something."
Tsukishiro Yanagi adjusted her glasses and pondered.
"...Let's observe the situation first."
"I will handle everything. Everyone, don't worry."
Hoshimi Aya looked at Hoshimi Miyabi and said quietly.
"Hah~"
Ellen glanced at the field to ensure no accidents would occur, let out a yawn, and directly collapsed into Lycaon's arms.
"You worked hard, Ellen."
Saying that, Lycaon took the shark scissors from Ellen's hand and carried Ellen on his back.
"Finally, things can quiet down a bit."
Caesar said, finding a spot to sit down, breathing heavily.
After a while, Hoshimi Miyabi still maintained the action of clutching her head, as if struggling against something.
Nicole's group also rushed over.
"Sister Yanagi!!!"
Soukakku saw Tsukishiro Yanagi and gave her a big bear hug.
Tsukishiro Yanagi almost lost her balance and fell to the ground.
"Dumb Fox, what's the situation now?"
"What happened to the Martial Arts Maniac Fox?"
Nicole came to Hoshimi Aya's side and asked.
