"?"

"Believe me!"

Yuji Sakai deactivated his transformation and stepped into the barrier with his frail body. Seeing Yuji walk in without using any of his abilities, Shana wore a puzzled expression.

Shana: "Can we just walk in like this?"

Alastair: "You can try it, he's not a bad person."

Shana looked at the barrier in front of her and recalled what Yuuji Sakai had said: "It's so noisy!"

With her mind calmed, Shana steeled herself and walked directly towards the magical barrier. This barrier gave her a feeling that touching it would mean certain death, but strangely, the moment she entered, she felt nothing at all. And upon entering, Shana didn't even have time for curiosity; she immediately joined the battle.

Because she saw a Crimson World Disciple fighting someone, she also received a message as she entered the barrier: "He's about to unleash the Devouring City technique!"

This is a message from Little Kyubey. If someone actively enters the barrier and is not rejected by it, it proves that the other person is a teammate. Since they are a teammate, just tell them what the enemy is doing.

The Imitation Tear was currently buffing itself, but upon seeing its bell-ringing companion arrive, the two switched positions, with the Imitation Tear now guarding the outside. The Imitation Tear sensed its bell-ringing companion was about to show off, so it decided to give it that opportunity.

Apply a buff? Buffs can conflict; just use the buffs that the clone's teardrop has already applied. After all, the older brother's sanity, vitality, and spirit attributes are higher than mine, and his healing is slightly higher.

The power of existence is arguably the most fundamental force in this world. Under normal circumstances, Kyubey would not be able to form contracts with humans in this world. However, this world is about to be ruined. Crimson Denizens need to convert humans into the power of existence to survive in this world. If too much of the power of existence is consumed, it will cause the world to become unbalanced or even collapse, ultimately leading to a collision between Earth's world and the Crimson Denizens, resulting in the simultaneous destruction of both worlds.

Humans cannot fight the Crimson Denizens; they can only make a pact with a Crimson Lord and sacrifice their own existence to defeat them.

But now, the power of magical girls has emerged, completely reversing this situation.

Inside the barrier, Fariagni watched as more and more people arrived, and he began to feel troubled: "Damn it, what kind of power is this?"

Originally, Yuji Sakai was about to fight, but after hearing those words, he suddenly felt something. He spoke in a deep voice, "This is…!"

Yuji Sakai drew his Enma sword. To deal with this teleportation-like ability, he had been playing Devil May Cry day and night these past few days. The price of this was that whenever he heard the word "power," he would subconsciously think of that man.

Whenever he thought of that man, Yuji Sakai couldn't help but want to introduce his own power.

Thinking about introducing his power, he pulled out a white chair from a food stall, and during the intermission when both sides were temporarily facing off, he sat down in the chair, slightly raised the Yamato sword, and introduced, "Love, Power! Cat Power!"

The tense atmosphere vanished instantly, and both enemies and allies looked at Sakai Yuuji, who had suddenly acted foolishly.

Even the usually serious Alastor became earnest: "Although I don't know..."

I don't know how he produced these things, but I'm certain he's a person, just with a brain..."

In the middle of a fight, someone pulled out a chair and sat down; Alastair felt like he'd never seen anything like it before.

Chapter 572 Yuji Sakai: "Trust me"

After a brief silence, the battle resumed.

However, when this fight started, Fariagni felt only one word: fucked up.

After finally managing to injure her opponent, the man started singing, and as he sang, Hirai Yukari's wounds healed. Hirai Yukari's fighting style was entirely about trading her life for injuries, since she knew she could pay to heal herself. Even if she was severely injured, she could just pay to recover, as long as she could kill her opponent.

Shana's arrival has already reversed the situation. Originally, neither Hirai Yuka nor the clone Teardrop had the upper hand, but Shana's appearance and the exchange of Teardrop and the original body became the last straw that broke the scales.

Seeing a newcomer enter, Yuji Sakai calmly applied buffs to Shana, while Yuu Hirai, having already received the Teardrop buff, didn't apply any.

Shana: "What kind of power is this? Why do I feel like I've become stronger?"

Yuji Sakai: "Focus, deal with that guy first."

Shana: "It's so noisy, I know!"

Fariagni, one of the modern-day Demon Lords of the Crimson World, is a formidable foe that Shana cannot easily handle in her current state. Fortunately, there are two other people present. Hirai Yuzuru can use various forms of "Freedom of Existence" through a strange book.

Meanwhile, Sakai Yuuji was able to use holy light to bless Shana, who was practically nonexistent? He, the Demon King, didn't understand the principles behind it at all, but it didn't matter. What he needed to do now was to eliminate Fariagni in front of him.

"Heh, I didn't expect Flame Haze to show up."

"Stop talking nonsense! I'm going to chop you up!"

Shana responded to Fariagni with not only words but also slashes. Shana's physical skills are excellent, but her magical abilities are not strong at this stage. In a one-on-one fight, Shana would definitely lose at this point.

However, Shana wasn't alone. After discovering that Shana couldn't fly, Hirai Yuki immediately gave Shana a buff.

The three of them formed a team without needing to say much. Although it was a temporary team, Shana's appearance immediately established a hierarchy in the battle. Shana, with her rich combat experience, acted as the warrior, while Hirai Yuuki transformed into a battlefield mage using the ability she gained through a wish. Sakai Yuuji's role was much simpler: he simply sang in place, increasing his team's damage while also healing them.

Although the opponent is very strong, the barrier is reinforced by Kyubey and protected by the imitation teardrop outside.

During the battle, Fariagni also noticed that these people were getting stronger and stronger, especially Hirai Yuki and Shana, who cooperated extremely well like sisters.

"Damn it, I can't die here!"

Hirai Yuzuru: "I know what you're thinking, and I know what your Noble Phantasm's function is! Shana, cut him down!"

Shana: "I know without you telling me!"

If it were just Hirai Yukari alone, she would gradually exhaust her opponent's trump cards in a long game against Faria Gni, eventually wearing him down. Even with buffs, the overall difference wouldn't be significant.

However, with Shana's addition, the scales of victory have completely tipped. Hirai Yukari knows all of her opponent's abilities and even their thoughts. As long as she specifically targets and counters their weaknesses, she doesn't need to care what abilities they use, because Shana is directly in front of them, engaging them in combat.

Shana herself would have a hard time defeating her opponent, but Hirai Yuki gave Shana a flight and speed boost, and Sakai Yuji gave Shana a buff that increased her strength, intelligence, stamina, and energy. This boost was four times the amount of Shana's own attributes.

In addition, the hymn provided attribute bonuses and physical recovery to all three, but caused attribute depletion to Fariagni.

In addition, when Shana joined, Hirai Yuuki spent a lot of money to purchase a miracle from Kyubey, restoring and increasing the attributes of all members. Even more terrifying is that the attribute increase brought by Kyubey and the attribute increase from the Cleric series used by the Imitation Tear are multiplicative.

What's even more deadly is that Shana's attacks are inherently fire-based, perfectly complementing the priest's attribute reduction buff. The multiplicative buff bonus, combined with the enemy's attribute reduction, results in tons of damage.

"Damn it!!" Faria Gni sensed something was wrong and knew she had to find a way to break the deadlock quickly. However, the reason Hirai Yuzuru wasn't a Flame Haze was that he couldn't use some of his trump cards. But when Shana appeared, he had a way to escape.

Happiness Trigger is a revolver-shaped pistol that does not carry bullets. However, when the power of existence is used, the bullets fired can force the dormant Crimson World Lord within a Flame Haze to be activated. It is a Noble Phantasm specifically designed to target Flame Haze.

He had been waiting for an opportunity. Through his observation, Hirai knew his weakness and would naturally remind everyone that he would use this weapon. But it didn't matter; he would use a calculated strategy, relying on his invincible power to force his opponent to take the brunt of his attack.

While Shana was plotting her scheme, the voices of Yuji Sakai and Yuki Hirai suddenly appeared in Shana's consciousness.

"Can you hear me? If you can hear me, just answer with your mind without opening your mouth."

Yuji Sakai's question made Shana a little irritated: "Shut up, just say what you want to say."

Hirai Yuzuru: "This enemy has a Noble Phantasm called 'Happiness Trigger,' which they might use on you, Shana. The effect of this Noble Phantasm is..."

After hearing the Noble Phantasm

"Is there any way to achieve this?" Shana asked, dodging Fariagni's attacks.

Hirai Yuzuru didn't have a good solution. The best way to deal with this weapon was to avoid being hit, unless Shana had to quit. But before he could finish speaking, Sakai Yuji interrupted, "I have a plan. You'll be near me during the fight, and then you'll create an opening so he'll attack first."

Shana: "Do you have a solution?"

Yuji Sakai: "Yes, believe me."

Shana remained silent for a long time before exclaiming, "So noisy! So noisy! So noisy! Why should I listen to you? We've only just met!"

Hearing this reply, Yuuji Sakai felt confident. This last sentence wasn't a question directed at Yuuji Sakai, but rather a question Shana had about herself. They had met for the first time that evening, and she had even seen him mistake her for a Crimson Denizen and attack him, yet he had said "trust me" twice, and she had believed him completely? Shana began to doubt herself.

But Yuji Sakai's words reassured her, especially the holy light he emanated; that warm feeling convinced her that he had a solution, further strengthening her trust in him. Flame Haze… most are alone, but this time she decided to try trusting someone else.

Hearing the reply and watching Shana's actions, Yuuji Sakai recalled a discussion he'd seen on TT about what constitutes "moe" (cuteness): "Is this... tsundere? She's so cute~"

This message wasn't relayed out, otherwise Yuuji Sakai would probably have been dealt with by Shana after this battle.

Fariag was unaware that the others present had Little Kyubey assisting them with internal voice communication; he still proceeded with his plan to attack Shana.

In his plan, Shana would be wary after learning about the power of his Noble Phantasm and would deliberately keep her distance from him. He only needed to keep attacking and decisively fire when Shana made a mistake.

Shana did indeed become as wary as he had imagined, because this was indeed a Noble Phantasm capable of killing Flame Haze warriors.

Shana kept creating distance between herself and Fariagni, but Fariagni took the opportunity to launch a frenzied attack on Shana, and even Hirai Emi's counterattack could not stop his offensive.

"not good!"

Shana, who was in mid-air, was accidentally restricted in her movements by Fariagni, and she was stunned.

Fariagni seized the opportunity when Shana was distracted, because no matter what, Shana could not possibly dodge his attack.

"The scales of victory have tipped in my favor, Flame Haze! Prepare to die!"

Chapter 573 Major Inpatient Ward Subject 1, Examination Begins

He used several Noble Phantasms to forcefully create distance between Hirai Yuuji and Shana, then aimed and fired his revolver. In his view, Sakai Yuuji hadn't really made a move from beginning to end, but he was constantly radiating a divine light, suggesting that he was a support type and not skilled in combat.

As Shana approached Sakai Yuuji and distanced herself from Hirai Enoki, he launched his attack. Even though Shana was somewhat prepared, she was still caught off guard by the Noble Phantasm's bullet. The bullet was incredibly fast; watching it hurtle towards her, Shana panicked for the first time, realizing that Sakai Yuuji hadn't made any move.

Fortunately, Shana had prepared a backup plan, so if Yuuji Sakai didn't take any action, she would have a way to avoid an attack.

"Damn it!"

Just as she was about to use her free-flowing technique to forcibly change direction in mid-air to dodge the attack, Yuji Sakai had already stepped in front of her.

"A golden return!"

Yuji Sakai drew his great shield and used the combat technique on it. A golden mark appeared at his feet, and the spear was absorbed by the shield and then converted into magical damage, which was reflected back at him.

"Impossible! How could this be?!"

Fariagni looked on in alarm at the power, for he hadn't expected his attack to be absorbed and reflected. At the same time, Shana smiled as she saw Sakai Yuuji suddenly appear in front of her.

Shana had no idea how she overheard Yuuji Sakai and Yuki Hirai's conversation.

Fariagni was struck in a vital spot by Shana and Hirai Yuen. This was due to Fariagni's lack of information. He didn't know what trump cards Sakai Yuuji had, but Hirai Yuen knew them perfectly well.

This attack caused Fariagni to lose his balance in the air and begin to fall. Upon seeing this scene, Yuji Sakai felt his DNA stir.

Ever since Nero entered the internet cafe and taught Vergil what Power was, everyone could ask Vergil for personal instruction when learning Vergil's combos. The reason Sakai Yuuji had Power etched into his DNA was because he had specifically sought out Vergil for guidance recently.

In addition, he had been playing Devil May Cry, not DNF, for the past two days. When he saw an enemy in the air who was out of control and unable to move, he instinctively drew his Yamato and rushed up.

The android teardrop outside the barrier sensed the bell-ringing tool's thoughts, took out a speaker, and skillfully played music.

A song called "Bury the Light" began to play within the barrier, prompting Shana to mutter, "What is he doing?"

Alastor pondered, "I don't know. This is a fighting style I've never seen before, and the music seems to have a magical power."

"A magical power?"

Alastair: "You should be able to sense it."

Shana didn't understand, but since she said she could sense it, then she could. So she took a deep breath and focused on the song. In that instant, she understood, and at the same time, she saw Saka.

Jing Youer rushed forward.

In Yuji Sakai's eyes, the enemy had already begun to fall from the sky. What did falling from the sky mean? Levitation!

He launched Fariagni into the air with a powerful aerial slash, followed by two upward spinning slashes with his Yama Blade in mid-air, then a dimensional slash, and finally a quick step followed by a Void Blade Realm, leaving Fariagni hovering above the Blade Realm.

After finishing the Blade Realm, immediately release a clone in fast mode and then use a dashed Iaijutsu to pass through Faria Gni-tsutsu. After passing through Faria Gni-tsutsu, release Mayu-same to keep him suspended in the air.
