"boom!"

Amidst the huge roar, a thick bright yellow lightning struck a transparent barrier composed of dozens of magic arrays of varying sizes that seemed both real and imaginary.

I saw the barrier shake and completely solidify in an instant.

"Crack."

A large area of ​​cracks quickly spread and shattered, completely exposing a huge building that resembled a European castle.

The castle is nothing else, it is the very essence of the prison barrier!

"It's finally begun."

Ito Shige, who was far away on a high tower on Genkami Island, looked at the prison that suddenly appeared next to Genkami Island and was connected by a rusty suspended bridge, and said softly.

"Let me be the observer this time."

As he said that, Ito Cheng's figure disappeared from the tower in an instant.

The next moment, Ito Cheng's figure appeared above the prison barrier, suspended in mid-air, waiting quietly.

Just over ten minutes later, along with a burst of space fluctuations, a tall and thin boy with pale blue hair dressed like a medieval aristocratic vampire in a Chinese movie and a boy wearing a black and white maid skirt.

, a black-haired ponytail girl holding a special-style metal spear, and another one wearing a backless suspender skirt and short brown hair. She looked a bit boyish, but she was lying on the ground for some unknown reason.

The girl appeared inside the prison boundary.

The gun-wielding girl, who was wary of her surroundings, quickly looked around.

"Is this the prison boundary, and where was that building just now?" the boy said with doubts in his tone.

"It's the same thing, the Fourth True Ancestor." A pleasant female voice suddenly sounded in the night sky.

As the voice passed, a girl who looked almost exactly the same as the girl lying on the ground, except that the length of her hair and the clothes on her body were very different. Moreover, she seemed to be much younger than the girl in age.

It slowly floated down to a fortress wall at the prison boundary.

"The empty temple is what the prison barrier looks like in Nangong Nayue's dream mirror. However, the witch in the gap has woken up from the eternal dream mirror, and the prison barrier has also appeared." The dress is similar to the ancient Japanese palace.

A faint, sinister smile appeared on the face of the long-haired woman in a black dress that could only be worn by women. She stated in a light and casual tone.

"Mother... Sir." The girl lying on the ground managed to raise her body, turned to look at the woman on the wall and said in a pensive voice.

"Are you Yuma's mother?" Xiao Gucheng, a boy called the fourth ancestor by the woman, asked in a deep voice.

And the Yuma he mentioned probably refers to the girl lying on the ground.

"The same face as Yuma." On the side, a girl in maid uniform holding a weird spear said.

"Of course. That girl is a pure copy of me produced through single reproduction, just a shadow created to break the seal of the prison barrier. The girl and I are the same existence, so... even this

There is a way to do things even if they are planted.”

After the woman finished speaking, her right hand gently pointed at the girl below - Yuma.

"Ah ah ah..." In an instant, young "nvyou" hugged his body tightly, knelt on the ground and let out a miserable howl.

Xiao Gucheng suddenly turned his head and looked back.

But at this moment, a tall man in armor who was made entirely of magic and looked like an ancient European knight appeared in the sky above the young "nvyou" Ma's back. There were dark marks on his body that seemed to be eroded and about to break.

"No, stop, mother." Yuma cried miserably.

"It's time to return the power I lent you to me." The expression on the woman's face did not change at all, she said softly as if she were looking at a dead object.

When he said this, magic lines like meridians and nerves emerged, connecting to the bodies of the young "nvyou" man and the man in blue armor respectively.

"No!" Young "nvyou" stood up suddenly and let out a scream that echoed throughout the sky.

"Crack!"

Although it was slight, it was like a thunderous sound in some people's ears. The dark black magic thread connecting the young "nvyou" Ma and the man in blue armor suddenly tightened and broke, causing the two to directly

contact was completely severed.

Then, the blue armored doll flashed and appeared behind the woman. But at this time, the color of the armor changed from the original blue like the sky to a jet black like the night.

"Yuma." Xiao Gucheng shouted and ran towards Yuma who fell to the ground again.

"To do such an outrageous thing. To a witch, the [Guardian] is a part of her body obtained by giving up her human identity, and you actually took it away!" The girl with the gun first glanced at Yuma, then glared.

The woman in costume said loudly.

"This girl is the doll I made. Isn't it my freedom to deal with it?" the woman asked calmly.

"Are you kidding? How dare you let my best friend suffer such a crime? Is that all you want to say?" Xiao Gucheng gently put down Yuma in his arms. He turned around and spoke with a smile that turned into blood because of his anger.

His red eyes glared at the woman, and he asked loudly with magic power surging throughout his body.

Then, the nature of the magic power outside Xiao Gucheng's body changed, releasing streaks of golden thunder and lightning energy.

"Is this okay? The Fourth True Ancestor. If you beat me away, the prison barrier will not be unscathed." Ignoring the thunder that lit up the night sky, the woman still had a sinister smile on her face.

Said softly.

"In this case, it will also bring corresponding backlash to the caster."

Hearing this, Xiao Gucheng violently took back the surging magic power around him. Then he raised his voice and asked, "Where did you do that Yue-chan?"

The woman took action and silently summoned a book with a dark cover from the space.

"Magic book." The girl with the gun said softly.

"That's right, NO.014, a magic book with inherent accumulation time operation. With the help of the power of the magic book, a curse was placed on the witch in the gap and her memory was taken away. No, it was not just the memory that was taken away, but also all her memories.

The time spent itself." The woman explained softly.

"What do you mean?" Xiao Gucheng asked cooperatively.

"Before she completely lost her magic power, Nangong Nayue seemed to have escaped. But as long as this magic book is still activated, she can no longer use any magic."

"I see, all that's left is to find her and give her the final blow?" However, at this moment, a strange voice echoed in the night sky.

The corners of the woman's mouth were slightly raised, and she turned her head and looked behind her with a happy smile.

In an instant, six people appeared: an old man, a woman, a man in armor, a gentleman wearing a top hat, a short young man, and a slender man wearing a Chinese robe and mandarin jacket with black-rimmed eyes on his face.

Appeared in the eyes of the woman, Xiao Gucheng and the girl with the gun who also looked up.

"If that's the case, we can help you." The blue-haired woman in extremely sexy clothes said easily.

"Everyone feels the same about wanting to kill that woman," the old man said.

Just from the tone of their words and their attitude towards Nangong Nayue, we can guess that the six of them must be prisoners within the boundaries of this prison.

"Xiandu Amuye, are you the secretary witch?" The man in the top hat looked at the woman in costume and said, "I would like to thank you in advance for prying open this hateful prison barrier door."

"Are you the only ones? What's wrong with the others?" the woman, Xiandu Amuye, asked as her eyes swept over the six people one by one.

"Don't mention what's going on, just look at something." A young man with whipped hair similar to that of Pirates of the Caribbean raised his left arm and signaled Xiandu Amuye to pay attention to the bracelet on his wrist.

Then very suddenly, he waved his arm and hit the man in the top hat beside him.

"puff."

Immediately, a muffled sound was heard, a stream of blood spurted out from the top hat man's chest, and at the same time, the top hat man's body was thrown backward.

During this process, the man in the top hat kept looking at the young man who attacked him with resentful eyes.

"Sutra, you guy." The man in the top hat said hatefully.

However, before he could finish his words, the dark metal bracelet on his left wrist suddenly emitted a lavender magic light, and then magic chains quickly wrapped around his body, restraining him.

He dragged it into the void created by the triangular space magic array that suddenly appeared behind him, like a Berg-like magic array, and disappeared along with the magic array.

"I see, is the prison barrier system still alive?" Xiandu Amuye said softly.

"That is to say, those who are too weak in magic power and physical strength will be brought back into the barrier. Those who are more fragile will not be able to get out from here from the beginning." The whip-haired young man stated with some displeasure.

"We are not truly free until we kill the witch of the gap and remove the prison barrier." The blue-haired woman complained.

"Wait a minute..." Xiao Gucheng said with anger as he listened to the criminals brazenly talking about killing Nangong Nayue.

But before he finished speaking, new changes appeared again.

At this moment, five transparent spaces shaped like cubes suddenly rose from under the feet of the five new criminals who had escaped from the prison barrier, except Xiandu Amuye, and imprisoned them all.

"Are you finally willing to come out?" Xiandu Amu turned around in the middle of the night and looked up into the void.

"There are actually people hiding around?" the girl with the gun said in shock.

The next moment, the five cube spaces flashed and disappeared from the place. Of course, the criminals who were imprisoned in the cube space also disappeared at the same time.

"Witches are really troublesome." Ito Cheng walked out of the gap in the void and sighed softly.

"Who are you? Are you the helper of the witch of the gap?" Xiandu Amuye asked.

"No, I'm just a passerby. I was searching for some experimental materials recently, so I appeared here." Ito Cheng shrugged and smiled.

"That's it." Xiandu Amuye responded with unclear meaning.

Ito Cheng ignored Sendu Amuye, turned his head, and looked at Akatsuki Kouchi and the gun-wielding girl beside him - the miko Himeira Yukina.
