Chapter: 87. Nagi vs. Omega
“Is that… Senior Tsukimi?”
Amaya stared blankly at the pitch-black figure floating high in the sky.
Although the figure was surrounded by black flames, Amaya could still vaguely recognize it was Kanade, based on the contours of the face.
However, the feeling this being gave off at the moment.
Rather than a human, it resembled a beast.
A beast filled with anger and hatred.
“Is this the awakening of Senior Tsukimi? But this overwhelming magical power…”
“Is that the protagonist that Special Circle SEMA… has been searching for?”
As Amaya muttered softly, the girl in her arms, Fuko, responded to Amaya’s words.
“…Protagonist?”
This was not the first time Amaya had heard this term.
But up until now, she hadn’t been able to clarify what exactly the so-called “protagonist” referred to.
Fuko’s reaction confirmed to Amaya that she knew something.
“…….” Fuko finally made direct eye contact with Amaya.
At this point, after a bit of thought, Fuko decided to reveal the truth about the “protagonist”—
“…… Special Circle SEMA believes that every era has its own unique protagonist.”
“After the Elemental Sovereign died, they began to frantically search for someone who could become the new protagonist…”
“And Tsukimi… Kanade Tsukimi, is who they consider to be the new protagonist replacing the Elemental Sovereign…”
—————–
“Impossible, impossible! Why do you have these powers!!!” Nanjou’s psyche was on the brink of collapse.
Confronted by the eleven fantasy creatures she had only seen in documented literature.
Nanjou couldn’t accept reality, decisively thinking that the other party was merely an illusion.
These renowned fantasy creatures were just hypocritical projections.
Under her command, Omega stirred its enormous wings and launched an attack on Nagi before her.
And Nagi had no intention of holding back.
Since in the previous duel, no matter how she provoked Nanjou, the latter had no intention of resonating with her star authority.
The same tactics would clearly not work.
Thus, Nagi planned to showcase absolute power, driving her opponent to the brink of despair.
At the same time, she conveyed her latest plan to Garuda—
“Use Nanjou’s star authority to break free from termination.”
Although this irregular method had just occurred to Nagi.
It was worth a try, and if her understanding of the “Star Guide” worldview from her two previous lives was correct, this method had a high success rate.
“Master, the plan you just mentioned is….” However, Garuda appeared worried upon hearing this.
“It’s fine, just believe in me like you did during the duality incident.” Nagi responded with a confident smile.
The next second.
A purple beam shot from Omega’s chest crystal, piercing through the atmosphere with tremendous force towards Nagi.
“Hydra!” Nagi decisively commanded the Hydra on the ground.
At nearly the same moment, the Hydra opened its nine mouths and began spewing emerald green orbs of light, like comets wrapped in green flames, intercepting the path of the purple beam.
However, the purple beam containing “deletion” authority erased the emerald comets upon contact, as if they were being wiped from existence, leaving not even a trace of magic.
“Tch, Amaterasu, Yata Mirror!”
Accompanied by Nagi’s words, countless mirror flowers materialized before her, formed entirely of mirrors.
These mirror flowers, capable of sending attacks beyond time and space, failed to merge effectively before this beam.
The purple beam penetrated through them without obstruction.
In a dire moment.
Behind Nagi, a gate to the underworld opened, emanating a demonic aura.
She successfully dodged the strike by jumping through the gate.
The beam, having lost its target, shot toward the frozen ocean behind Nagi.
In an instant, the ocean within the area disappeared.
As if the entire concept had been “deleted,” only the bare artificial islands around remained.
“Just as expected of Omega, the status of its authority is truly high…”
The underworld gate reopened on the ground, and Nagi elegantly jumped out, raising her head to look at Omega in the sky.
The impact of this blow, along with Nagi’s ineffective counterattack, gave Nanjou immense confidence.
She laughed heartily again:
“Sure enough, it’s just a fake!”
As Nanjou spoke, she glanced at the black dragon behind her, whose overwhelming black wings and regal posture boosted her confidence even further.
“That’s right, I am the true chosen one—”
At this moment, Omega’s magical power continuously surged from the purple crystal in its chest into the slim figure of Nanjou.
Her eyes, shimmering with star lights, became tinged with a rich purple hue.
“I am the true existence pursued by Tsuki Academy, the fated new protagonist!”
“Shut up with your incessant chatter! Garuda! Cut off her magical supply.”
Nagi frowned in displeasure at Nanjou’s words.
Just as Nagi finished speaking.
The authority of the storm surged alongside the storm itself, directly affecting Nanjou from a distance.
The powers of “connecting” and “cutting off.”
Cleanly severed the connection between Nanjou and the crystal at Omega’s chest.
In an instant, Nanjou lost her magical supply.
It was as if she had been isolated from the entire world, unable to sense the existence of other magical powers.
“What?!” Nanjou thought in shock, recalling the scene she had read about in the materials regarding the “Elemental Sovereign.”
This was the most famous interference method of the Elemental Sovereign—
Directly cutting off an opponent’s connection to external magic.
As a result, the opponent’s magical reserve became limited, while the Elemental Sovereign could use its overwhelmingly vast magical power to crush the enemy.
“Impossible….. This must be a coincidence, she can’t possibly be the Elemental Sovereign…”
“If you can’t believe it, then see for yourself.” Nagi displayed a serious expression.
In that fleeting moment, her battle instincts developed in her past life allowed her to analyze and devise a strategy to counter Omega.
“Stop boasting! Omega, erase that detestable woman—!!!”
Though there was no magical connection, Nanjou still commanded Omega as her contractor.
“How could the same trick work twice?” Seeing events unfold as she expected, Nagi simultaneously commanded her contract beasts.
As Omega began to flap its wings, aiming its chest crystal downwards at Nagi.
In the next second, several ice pillars descended from the sky with overwhelming momentum and slammed onto Omega’s massive wings.
Omega’s grand and fierce body lost its balance in an instant.
Nagi seized the opportunity, not giving Omega a chance to react, as her contracted beasts’ attacks followed closely.
A violent storm mixed with lightning surged from all directions toward Omega.
The fantasy creature named Satan floated in the air in a divine posture, its angelic wings on the left and demonic wings on the right shining with the glow of magic.
Countless shining crosses materialized around Omega, and with an unstoppable momentum, they pierced through its outer layer of hard dragon scales.
As if trying to drag it down to the ground.
“Since I can’t stop the ability of deletion, then I just need to ensure you can’t use the deletion authority anymore!”
