Farah''s POV


    My plan somehow works out thanks to the cooperation of Amy and Hana. As I traced through the mana flows, I have accidentally found out about the one under the royal caste and the capital city.


    -If not for the strange flow of mana around the castle, I wouldn''t notice these magic circles. (Farah)


    With some twitch in the magic circle, it can no longer hold up the poured mana and explode on its own.


    -Urghh... (Farah)


    I barely create the barriers to protect myself and Kohaku in time from the explosion.


    -Fuhhh... (Farah)


    But the explosion is much larger than I thought. It engulfs and blows away the entire room.


    -Youuuuuu! (Din)


    The woman...The mastermind who couldn''t put up the barrier in time is the most wounded inside the room.


    -My skinnnn! I will kill you! (Din)


    Since she stands in the centre of the explosion, it has burned her entire skin.


    -Get herrrrr! (Din)


    Many people with wires wrapped around their bodies appear beside her.


    -...This will be hard. (Farah)


    When I try to attack that woman, the barrier I cast on Kohaku suddenly explodes.


    -Huh? (Farah)


    I find the dark stains under the altar now has disappeared. But somehow, the part of the gigantic wolf''s mouth still bites her body.


    -Transform! (Farah)


    I transform into a magical girl and shoot the beam at the wolf''s mouth. But the beam instantly diminished when it touched the mouth.


    -Huh? (Farah)


    -You should look this way! (Din)


    The woman commanded the people and tried to use them to catch me.


    -It''s not that easy! (Farah)


    I immediately fly around from their reach. But when I fly up, I can feel something wrapping around my body.


    -I got you! (Din)


    -Wires? (Farah)


    That woman has laid the wires on the air and waited for me to fall into her trap.


    -Hummm! (Farah)


    -Come down here! (Din)


    She pulls the wires and makes me hit the ground.


    -Urgh! Teleport! (Farah)


    -Huh! (Din)


    I teleport to behind her and shoot the beam at her back.


    -Uwaaaa! (Din)


    The beam attack easily creates a hole in her body. The woman can no longer stand the pain and fall to the ground.


    -Let''s... (Farah)


    Before I could finish the sentence, an eerie voice stopped me from doing anything.


    -That''s enough. I still need that girl... (???_


    I turn to the owner of the voice.


    -... (Farah)


    An eye suddenly pops up on the head of the wolf''s mouth that holds Kohaku.


    -What...are you? (Farah)


    The mouth ignores me and opens widely. It seems to attempt to swallow Kohaku.


    -You! (Farah)


    I flew toward the mouth the fastest as I could. But many wolves come from the stains on the ground and stop my way.


    -Get away! (Farah)


    I shoot the beam at them, but they are unaffected by my attack.


    -Teleport! (Farah)


    But this time, these wolves open their mouth and start sucking something.


    -Huh? (Farah)


    The teleport spell doesn''t activate, no matter what I do. Are these wolves stopping me from casting the spell?


    -Flame lances! (Farah)


    I still can cast other magic as normal. However, they don''t show any effect on these wolves.


    -That''s all you got? (???)


    The eerie voice asks me again. I click my tongue and stare in that direction.


    -I am too late. (Farah)


    My heart beats loudly as the mouth successfully swallowed Kohaku.


    -What have you done to Kohaku? (Farah)


    For some reason, the mouth gradually disappeared into nothingness. No...Some kind of tattoos appears on Kohaku''s body.


    -It looks complicated, and I don''t understand anything at all. (Farah)


    Kohaku suddenly opens her eyes and looks at me directly.


    -Kohaku?! (Farah)


    Kohaku opens her mouth and replies to me with an eerie voice.


    -No...This body''s owner has died. (Farah)


    -... (Farah)


    All the wolves nearby turn to Kohaku and bow their head down.


    -Hah! Not even 1% of my power descends in this place. (???)


    Kohaku glares at me angrily.


    -It''s all your fault, right? (???)


    Is Kohaku really gone? Calm down, Farah... It may be a provocation only?


    -... (Farah)


    I close my eyes and try to feel the soul power nearby.


    -What are you using soul magic for? She has already died... (???)


    -You are lying... (Farah)


    -... (???)


    I can still feel a weak soul exist in Kohaku aside from incredible soul. I open my mind and look at the current Kohaku directly.


    -She is still alive... (Farah)


    I can still save Kohaku. I can''t give up right now.


    -Hoh? But what can you do? Can you win against me in the first place? (???_


    Some kind of terrible energy comes out of Kohaku and intimidates me.


    -... (Farah)


    -First, bring her to me. (???)


    A wolf appears and pulls the body of the wounded woman to Kohaku.


    -Let this one finish her work first! (???)


    The dark green energy comes out of Kohaku''s hand and wraps around the woman.


    -Urgh... (Din)


    The wound on her body disappeared as if there was no wound on her body in the first place. The woman opens her eyes and starts to touch her body.


    -All of them are disappeared! They are all gone! Ahahah! My beauty! (Din)


    -That''s good. (???)


    The woman turns and looks at Kohaku. She immediately bows down and mutters.


    -My lord! I welcome you! It''s my honour to meet the mighty one! (Din)


    Kohaku ignores her greeting and speaks.


    -Hmmm, go and fix the magic circles. (???)


    Kohaku bends down and says in an eerie and cold voice.


    -There must be no mistake this time! (???)


    The woman shakes her body while bowing down.


    -Yes! (Din)


    She immediately left the place as she received the order.


    -And now? (???)


    Kohaku turns to me and smiles wickedly.


    -Let''s play with this one in the meantime, shall I? (???)
