Whoosh!
Esdeath's figure descended from the sky, returning to Maki's side.
Her expression was indifferent.
As if she had just done something trivial.
"Gulp." x3
Nobara and the others swallowed instinctively.
Such power...
Was simply too exaggerated.
But even so...
She wasn't even the strongest among their servants.
So what kind of monsters were the ones above her?
Kisara glanced at the building, which had only minor damage, frowned, and said, "Esdeath, with your strength, you could have destroyed the whole building. Why didn't you?"
Esdeath said calmly, "We don't know what they're doing inside yet."
"Destroying the building might not stop them, and there could be stragglers. So attacking directly is the safest bet."
Hearing Esdeath's words, Kisara nodded, then shot off like a beam of light, saying, "Then, I'll go first."
Seeing this, Saeko stomped her foot. "Miss Kisara, don't be greedy!"
With that.
She too flew off.
Seeing this.
Esdeath and the others also moved, following close behind.
Even with the word magic's reinforcement...
It couldn't change the fact that the sofa's material was ordinary.
With Grayfia completely exhausted, the sofa had fulfilled its historical mission and was completely broken.
"Whoosh!"
Grayfia took a breath, grabbed a can of iced cola from the fridge to cool herself down.
Then.
She began to fully adjust her own condition.
Although her magic power had already been replenished by Ayato...
Returning to peak combat strength would still take some time.
Athena also began to move, seamlessly taking over. Her body, to accommodate...
Also reverted to its sealed form.
Her eyes were full of determination.
No one knew when the situation in Tokyo might change.
They might even need her to act.
She had to hurry.
Inside the building.
Deep, obscure magic circles continuously flickered on the ground.
Several Devils in black robes were busily working.
By the floor-to-ceiling window, Jogo watched the magic barrier before him disappear, a hint of cold sweat on his face.
This place was one of the important locations for activating the ancient magic.
According to the person behind the scenes...
The barrier set up was very sturdy.
Even a Satan would have difficulty breaking through.
But now...
"That woman who attacked just now... who the hell is she? She's not on the list of people to be cautious about."
"And was that a mecha? Kurourushi probably won't last much longer..."
He had been full of confidence in this operation.
Because with the Serpent's help, plus some things provided by that person...
Many of their Special-grade Cursed Spirits, who were close to the level of Heretic Gods, had been forcibly pushed to that realm.
He had thought...
As long as that God-slaying King didn't appear...
Success was almost guaranteed.
But who could have imagined such an unexpected turn?
Those women just now were all forces to be reckoned with.
Irisviel piloting the Princess.
Maki wielding a terrifying weapon.
Saeko and Kisara, who had joined forces to instantly kill thousands of Cursed Spirits.
And...
Esdeath, who had forcefully broken the magic barrier with a single strike.
He could understand the power of the first few.
But Esdeath...
He couldn't figure out at all.
Could she be an unknown powerhouse from the Underworld?
"This is a trouble..."
Jogo muttered to himself.
"Haha, Jogo, weren't you pretty bold before?"
"Exactly. A few Devils scared you that much?"
"Dagon, want to bet who kills more?"
"Ganesha, do you think I'm afraid?"
With two loud laughs.
Dagon and Ganesha, the two Special-grade Cursed Spirits, walked outside.
"You guys, keep working. Don't stop."
Seeing this, Jogo instructed the few Devils, then followed them.
Another location.
Countless passages and rooms could be seen filled with dense masses of stray Devils and Cursed Spirits.
But their faces were all filled with shock and fear.
Because.
Not far ahead.
Esdeath led the way, her long legs striding forward.
Wherever her figure passed...
Whether the ground or the walls, all were covered in visible frost.
Hum!
The terrifying cold spread, turning countless Cursed Spirits and Stray Devils into ice sculptures.
