Chapter 668 - 668
"How is it going?"Southeast of Kijanashi City, at the church.
Saint George walked out with a worried expression.
"I don't know."
Martha shook her head.
"All we know is that since just now, an unprecedentedly powerful surge of magical energy has been coming from the school!"
Her face was full of seriousness, and her right leg kept shaking restlessly.
"This magical energy... its owner must be unimaginably delicious."
On the second floor of the church, a nun dressed in a rather provocative outfit stood by the window.
Gazing at the turbulent battlefield in the distance, a playful smile appeared in her eyes.
"Is this Singularity going to end prematurely here?"
Elsewhere, the awakened Heroic Spirits, including magicians like Alice, were all staring in shock at the sudden changes in the distance.
School.
"Crack!"
In the sky.
Endless dark clouds swirled like a vortex, with golden lightning snakes churning incessantly in the sea of clouds.
Before long, the sky above the entire Kijanashi City was shrouded in abnormal weather.
On the ground.
Countless giant trees, twenty to thirty meters tall, sprang up from the earth. Massive trunks thick enough to require several people to embrace intertwined at their roots, while endless white mist spread throughout the forest, completely obscuring the view.
The atmosphere turned into sharp claws, with every gust of wind as sharp as a blade.
Scáthach leaped lightly, emerging from the forest and landing on a school building.
"The entire school has turned into another world... This is the scenery of Earth from hundreds of millions of years ago, actually recreated to erode reality?"
Standing on the rooftop and looking around, Scáthach could see.
That this school spanning dozens of hectares had now completely fallen under Arcueid's control, including the surrounding hills.
The concrete square, school buildings, and various structures were all being drawn toward Arcueid like sailboats on the ocean, crushed by the black hole beneath her feet, and sucked into the Inner Sea of the Planet.
Though not consciously destroying, her very existence was a denial of the rules.
Simply by naturally being there, she was negating human rules and concepts.
This is what True Ancestors are.
"This world is still expanding, and it won't be long before it affects the city."
Scáthach gazed at the edges of this ancient domain.
The giant trees and fierce winds were slowly spreading outward, symbolizing how Arcueid's rules were overwriting the established rules.
If this domain completely eroded all of Kijanashi City, then this Singularity would likely be finished.
Goetia probably wouldn't take it well.
Of all times, having his base stolen when he wasn't present.
Meanwhile.
Eiji also jumped onto one of the few remaining school buildings, covering the several meters height in a single leap.
"Has Arcueid unleashed her existence power?"
Eiji tightened his grip on the sword in his hand.
The erosion was progressing faster than before—he had to subdue her quickly!
"So? This way, you can't run around anymore, can you?"
Arcueid's voice came again.
Looking over, she was floating in mid-air, her dress now somehow turned purple fluttering without wind, her proud face as beautiful and captivating as a fairy under the moonlight.
"Indeed."
Eiji nodded.
The surrounding terrain had been drastically altered.
Most importantly, the footholds had been almost completely cleared away. If one were to accidentally fall, they would immediately be plunged into an endless sea of trees, entangled by vines and torn apart by the atmosphere.
"Shouldn't you surrender by now?"
Arcueid's aggressive gaze turned toward him.
"You've managed to hold out against my current self to this extent, which is enough to make me view you in a new light. But it's still far from enough. Once I get serious, it becomes like this. From now on, you don't stand a chance of winning."
"Indeed."
Eiji nodded again.
He had to admit this was the truth.
With even his Sword Steps sealed, he truly had no effective means left.
If they continued fighting, he would likely be defeated in just a few moves.
There was no helping it.
The power of the Princess of Earth was simply too overwhelming.
Even if she had absorbed less than one ten-thousandth of Earth's power and was far from her strongest form, Eiji stood no chance of defeating her.
If she were to absorb sufficient power and reach her peak, she could probably even defeat a Beast.
Losing to her was nothing to be ashamed of.
"But I haven't lost yet, have I?"
Eiji's expression turned dangerous.
Intense tension made his entire body tremble, but a determined smile still spread across his face.
He had overcome fear long ago.
"Such stubbornness."
A ferocious smile also appeared on Arcueid's face.
"Since you won't give up until you see the coffin, let me prepare one for you!"
"Hummm—!"
An invisible restraint emanated from her golden eyes.
In that instant, all of Eiji's warning bells rang.
Even before those Mystic Eyes fixed on him, he had already leaped away.
"Boom!"
The air currents shook as Arcueid immediately pursued him, arriving before him in an instant and swiping at him with her claws!
Mid-air, with no way to gain leverage.
Eiji decided to go all out and directly activated his Sword Steps!
"Crash!"
His body shot toward the ground like a cannonball.
When using Sword Steps, there must be a direction.
With no way to change direction mid-air, he could only use the direction of free fall.
Thanks to this, Eiji plunged headfirst into the sea of trees below.
"Cough! Cough!"
Eiji coughed heavily twice.
Although he had crashed into a tree, he had managed to adjust his posture in time to dissipate much of the impact, sustaining only minor internal injuries.
"Now's my chance!"
Eiji quickly dashed into the forest.
Giant trees and twisted trunks were everywhere before him, interspersed with weeds several people high. The thick white fog made it impossible to see even his own hand.
Indeed, creating this domain made it difficult for Eiji to use Sword Steps, as he might accidentally crash into something.
But these massive trees and white fog also served as natural barriers.
As long as he hid within them and concealed all his presence, Arcueid shouldn't be able to detect his whereabouts!
"Not a bad idea!"
Suddenly, Eiji's gaze sharpened.
Turning his head, he saw Arcueid standing before him, wearing a leisurely smile as if she had been waiting.
"Unfortunately, none of your thoughts can escape my eyes!"
"Rumble!"
With a wave of her hand, countless vines and branches erupted from the ground, surging toward Eiji from all directions.
"Bear!"
Eiji instantly materialized the Crozzo's Magic Sword, incinerating all incoming attacks.
Then he charged back into the white mist.
"Really persistent."
Arcueid remained standing motionless, merely muttering under her breath.
"Not giving chase?"
With the sense of danger lifted, Eiji breathed a slight sigh of relief.
The reason he was discovered earlier was probably due to calculating the trajectory of his fall.
"What a pity, that's not it."
But immediately after, Arcueid's voice rang out again.
