One soul, two twins, the other half is Bronya

"Watola? Why are you here!" Only then did Xiao Gucheng notice the presence of the others.

"Me? I'm waiting for a fight orgy."

Wattola simply smiled and told the two what was about to happen: "Once the prison barrier is opened, the vicious magical criminals imprisoned within will be released."

"But don't worry, I will be responsible for taking care of them. Haha, it's really exciting~" After explaining this, Watora left through the vampire's atomization ability.

Now that the fearful people had left, the witch sisters breathed a sigh of relief and stared at Akatsuki Kojou and Himerahira Setsuna with ill intentions.

"Shhhh-"

Dark red roots spread out and whipped towards the two of them fiercely, even making a whistling sound as they broke through the air.

"Senior, be careful!"

Himeragi Setsuna still had her fighting skills, and she quickly pushed away Akatsuki Kojou beside her, and then the silver-white Snow Wolf in her hand flashed, deflecting all the attacks.

"Not bad, Sword Wizard of the Lion King Agency, I think you'd be quite beautiful if I made you into a corpse~"

The red-dressed dancer stepped forward, her hands cupping her pretty, blushing face. She looked quite charming. But... he was a pervert, and his terrifying words sent shudders down one's spine.

"boom--!"

At that moment, a pillar of purple light shot up into the sky, nearly illuminating the night. Near Genshin Island, an ancient castle could no longer hide, revealing its illusory shadow...

"found it!"

Seeing this, the magic book in Xiandumu Yuma's hand ignited a purple-red flame... This book was written by her. Now that the prison barrier has been found, it is useless.

Xiandumu Yuma turned around and looked at Akatsuki Kojou again, the space technique unfolding behind her, "Sorry, Kojou, I have to go first."

"Yuuma!"

Calling out the other person's name, Xiao Gucheng ran a few steps, but it was too late. Before he could catch up, Xiandu Mu Yuma had already stepped into it, and the door of space disappeared.

"Shhhh-"

Several roots whipped over fiercely, even though it was Xiandu Muyouma's body, the two sisters showed no mercy.

"Senior, be careful!"

At times like this, Himeraira Setsuna has to come to the rescue, especially now that Akatsuki Kojou has basically no combat power, making it extremely difficult to fight for a while.

"This won't work."

The Snow Wolf spun around, unleashing glints of spear light, while Himeragi Yukina was also trying to find an opportunity to break the deadlock. However... the next moment, she realized that it seemed unnecessary?

Feathers were floating all over the sky, and pieces of crimson feathers were drifting away. An invisible force gradually spread around Xiao Gucheng and the other person.

"What's this……?"

Faintly, the witch sisters felt that this scene was somewhat familiar, and sporadic fragments flashed through their minds.

Unfortunately... before they could figure it out, they felt their eyelids getting heavier and heavier. Soon they lost their strength and fell asleep on the ground.

"Emmmm...ah?"

For a moment, Akatsuki Kojou was a bit bewildered. He was ready for a tough fight, even though it would be mainly done by Himeragi Setsuna... and you showed me this?

He stretched out his hand and tried to touch the feather, but the feather was like an illusion, passing directly through his palm, and he felt nothing. "..., forget it. Himeragi, let's go after Yuuma."

"Yes, senior!"

Although she didn't know what was going on, Himeragi Setsuna didn't have time to think too much - she absolutely couldn't let Yuuma break the prison barrier, otherwise there would be a big mess.

At this point, when Akatsuki Kojou, Himeragi Setsuna and others had retreated, Bai Ye descended from the sky with Jia Da and came to the "stage of the first act".

"Why did you suddenly attack? Also, the feathers just now were spiritual power, right? Your methods are really endless~"

"A little trick."

Bai Ye just smiled and ignored the sleeping witch sisters. Their scenes had ended here anyway. "Come to think of it, the Fourth True Ancestor also has similar powers, right?"

"Hmm...if I remember correctly, it's called 'Capricorn's Eye Crystal'? You should remember it."

At the Flame Feast, Jiada controlled two bases, but did not bring them to participate. Including Agurora, Akatsuki Kojou only controlled nine familiars.

At this moment, a dark purple magic circle unfolded, and the petite figure of Nangong Nayue walked out. She glanced at Bai Ye, then quickly turned her head away in displeasure.

Nangong Nayue has been guarding Xianshen Island for nearly ten years. Bai Ye was causing trouble right under her nose and not letting her interfere... Well, it was mainly because the island was in chaos, so of course she was unhappy.

Ignoring Bai Ye, Nangong Nayue used the chains of discipline to tie up the witch sisters, and then left on her own.

……

On the other side, Akatsuki Kojou did not have the help in the plot and was still on his way to the prison barrier.

And this also led to...Xendumi Yuma was completely unattended, and had plenty of time to carry out her plan: a pale blue knight's shadow appeared behind Yuma - it was her guardian, Cang!

"bring it on."

The Azure Guardian raised his hands high, and the power of space and time surged. Though it was only a moment, it was enough... the power of the past was revealed!

A golden lion roared, appearing in the void—this wasn't a summoning of a familiar, but a projection of the past. In other words, it was just a phantom, like a rootless duckweed, without any foundation.

"Roar--!"

Golden lightning burst out and heavily bombarded the prison barrier, pulling out the castle between illusion and reality bit by bit, and truly descending into this world.

"That's all... ugh!"

As she spoke, Yuma suddenly clutched her chest. Even borrowing some of the power from her familiar was more than she could bear, and she suffered a slight backlash.

But it doesn't matter, her goal has been achieved. Yuma turned back to look at the direction where Akatsuki Kojou was, "Sorry, Kojou, it seems you won't be able to catch up this time."

"Mother, I'm here."

Without any sense of urgency, Xiandumu Yuma slowly walked across the bridge outside the prison barrier and headed towards the ancient castle.

……

Since it is a prison, the overall atmosphere is naturally gloomy. The whole castle is deathly silent, so dead that it is creepy.

Xiandumu Yuma walked alone in the corridor, step by step towards the core of the prison barrier, which was where Nangong Nayue was sleeping. However...

Something unexpected happened.

—In the heart of the castle, on that exquisite and luxurious chair, there was no trace of Nangong Nayue! Only a crimson feather floated above the chair, slowly emitting a faint glow.

"How...how could this happen?"

I never expected it to be like this. Xiandu Mu Yuma lost his composure and stared at the feather in confusion, "Why is Nangong Nayue gone? What the hell is this thing?"

348. Unsealed Prison Boundary

When there are variables in the plan, just follow your feelings~ Xiandumu Yuma knew that there was something wrong with this feather, and summoned her guardian Cang, who grabbed the feather with magic wrapped around his arm.

"Qiang——!"

It was like the sound of metal colliding. Yu Duchen took a stance and withstood the guardian's grasp, and the magic power stirred up a shock wave that spread out.

Even if it was just a sub-body of Yu Duchen, the Divine Key was not something anyone could break. It was just a light feather, but it was unbreakable.

"What is this?"

Seeing this, Xiandu Muyouma was stunned. It was just a feather, how could it be so powerful? She gave the order again, "Cang, smash this feather with all your strength!"

"..."

The guardians remained silent, or perhaps they lacked the ability to speak. Cang clenched his fists, the flames of magic burning silently on them, and then attacked Yu Duchen frantically.

"Clang, clang, clang—!"

Suddenly, a sound like hammering iron echoed. Cang's powerful arms swung out, leaving afterimages behind. Magical power collided with magic power, emitting large sparks.

……

"Has it started yet?"

Nangong Nayue stood at the highest point of Xianshen Island, atop the Cornerstone Gate, gazing out at the distant prison barrier. The night breeze ruffled her hair, causing it to flutter freely in the breeze.

Of course she also felt the movement on the other end.

Honestly, if she rushed over now, she would still be in time. But she didn't move. Instead, she slowly closed her eyes, "Don't betray my trust~ Bai Ye..."

The scene changed and the perspective was given to Xiao Gucheng's side. They were already several beats late.

"Yo, Gucheng, do you need any help?"

Just then, Wattola, clad in a dazzling white suit, appeared in their path. He glanced toward the prison barrier and said, "That guy has already passed. You're much slower, Gucheng~"

"what do you want to say in the end!"

On the street, Xiao Gucheng was still running desperately. Especially since he was not using his own body, his speed was much slower.

"me?"

Watora relied on the ability of his familiar to float in the air, with his hands in his pockets always hovering beside Akatsuki Kojou, full of temperament and style.

He gazed at Akatsuki Kojou "affectionately", his golden hair swaying like a nobleman in the dark night, "Of course I am here to help you, my beloved Fourth True Ancestor."

"Alas--"

These words made Xiao Gucheng extremely uncomfortable and even gave him goosebumps.

Then there was Himeragi Yukina. She was holding the Snow Wolf in one hand, ready to attack Watora at any moment, but she ultimately restrained herself. "So, what are you going to do, Lord Ordiaru?"

"What? Like this~"

A snake-like beast suddenly appeared out of nowhere, its huge body filled with spatial fluctuations and surrounded the three people, then disappeared into the street in a flash.

. . .

"Watola, you..."

Space leaped rapidly, and when he felt the ground beneath his feet again, Akatsuki Kojou looked up and wanted to question Watora. However, when he looked around—they were already there, just outside the prison barrier!

"Go ahead, Kojou, I'll help you up to this point." Watora smiled at Akatsuki Kojou, motioning him to continue forward.

"..., Wattola, thanks this time."

Akatsuki Kojou was silent for a while, and finally thanked the other party. He went to the castle ahead with Himeragi Yukina... Wait for me, Yuma!

"Dang Dang Dang——"

With a series of blows, Guardian Cang opened fire at full power, finally draining Yu Duchen's stored magic power bit by bit, and the shield held up by Yu Duchen gradually wore away.

"Click~"

"It's almost there, it's almost there!"

Cracks spread across the shield, and Xiandumu Yuma's eyes became more focused, but there was also a hint of confusion in them.

——She was created to save her mother. When Xiandumu Aya is liberated, what is the meaning of her existence?

"Yuuma!"

Just then, a familiar voice rang out. How could it not be familiar? It was her own voice. But only now, the owner of this voice was Xiao Kojou.

It was this voice that made her realize she wasn't completely lost. At least... she still had Akatsuki! The next moment, Yu Duchen finally exhausted all his strength and exploded.

"Rumble--"

Following this, the prison barrier began to shake violently, with endless dust, falling rocks... collapsing one after another, tearing apart Nangong Nayue's fantasy and truly invading reality.

"Sorry, Gucheng, you're late. The prison barrier has already been broken."

Xiandumu Yuma turned around, her tone indescribably relieved - her mission was accomplished. She had put down all the burdens and was finally able to be her true self.

Then, the five senses swapping technique was lifted, and Yuma's five senses reconnected to his body, and then...

“Ouch…it hurts!”

Waves of stabbing pain made her unconsciously hug her arms tightly, and her steps became a little unsteady. But this was also normal. Forcibly taking over the body of the True Ancestor, you don't think there will be any backlash, right?

"Yuuma!"

Just as Sendoki Yuuma was about to fall, Akatsuki Kojou had already readjusted to his body and rushed over to catch her in time.

He took Yuma in his arms and carefully helped her lie down, "How are you, Yuma, are you feeling okay?"
