The Holy Sovereign gave Luo Shuangyue a gentle tap on the forehead, bringing their family conversation to an end.
“So this is the Exile Magic Circle? What a wondrous existence…”
Looking at the white magic circle floating in the air not far away, a glimmer of light sparkled in Yi’s eyes.
“It’s finally finished. I didn’t think it would take so long.” The white-haired girl returned to her friend’s side from the sky, gazing at her masterpiece beside her.
“The task Mom gave me was a bit beyond my level.”
This magic circle was not something a Full Bloom-Class Magical Girl should have been able to create.
At least, it was difficult for Luo Shuangxing, who had shot up to the Full Bloom rank like a rocket.
Her power could only be considered raw strength.
She knew very well that this power did not belong to her, but rather to her mother.
However, she did not care who the power belonged to, as long as she could use it to accomplish what she needed to do.
Utilizing her unique Sealing Spell, Luo Shuangxing had spent a very long time painstakingly restoring the Exile Magic Circle from her memories bit by bit.
Every day, she would use up every last drop of her Magic Power and then seal the uncompleted magic circle.
During her rest periods, she used various means to rapidly recover her Magic Power and Mental Power.
She was like a little clockwork doll that had been fully wound, sprinting toward her goal without a moment’s pause.
And the result now stood before everyone. She had truly done it.
The Exile Magic Circle had actually been restored by her.
“It’s a pity the Recall Magic Circle prepared for you is still in the final testing phase. You can only wait a few more days, Shuang Xing…” Yi said with a hint of regret.
Luo Shuangxing had to go over, but she also had to come back.
The spell used for the return trip was the Recall Magic Circle currently being researched by the Magic Department.
Using Yi’s Starlight Magic as a foundation and supplemented by a device capable of drawing infinite magic from the Sea of Magic, it achieved the effect of opening a path home even from the ends of the earth.
Currently, this plan had also reached its final stage.
Led by Monice, many Full Bloom-Class Magical Girls had researched and developed this unprecedented recall magic from scratch, almost at the same time Luo Shuangxing was building the Exile Magic Circle according to her memories.
“It’s already been several months. A few more days won’t make a difference. Don’t worry, I’m not the impulsive type.” Luo Shuangxing’s gaze lingered on Yi for a moment before she quietly withdrew it.
If her sister and Elder Sister Xia Mo really had met with an accident, she had already been delayed for so long that rushing now wouldn’t help.
If they hadn’t met with an accident and simply couldn’t find their way back, then wouldn’t it be useless for her to go over there all flustered?
Therefore, she would wait peacefully until the research on the recall magic was finished, then take that magic with her to find her sister and the others.
“That’s good. A while ago, the way you disregarded everything just to finish the magic circle and find your sister didn’t exactly make me believe what you just said.”
“Can we not bring up the past? Everyone has times when they’re in a bad mood, and I was just like that back then.” Luo Shuangxing’s pout grew as she ferociously pulled Yi into her arms, vigorously rubbing the elf girl’s cheeks.
“You actually dare to tease me? You weren’t much better than me in the past!”
Back when Yi’s family had been destroyed and she was left all alone, who was it that led her out of the shadows? Now she was actually biting the hand that fed her.
‘Elf, you’re so despicable!’
“I’m sorry~ But Shuangxing, have you really decided to go there alone?”
“Yes. This is my personal matter, after all. I don’t know how many dangers I’ll encounter on this trip. If I let innocent people get involved and hurt, I wouldn’t be able to live with myself.” Luo Shuangxing nodded.
“It’s a pity my strength is too weak, otherwise…”
“Even if you were stronger, I wouldn’t let you come with me, Yi.”
“Eh? Why…”
“Are you all prepared? Nothing else left to do?”
“What is there to prepare? At most, it’s just saying goodbye to friends.”
Standing behind the Holy Sovereign, Luo Xiangyue curled her lip.
She hadn’t stayed in this world for long to begin with.
The only ones she was close to were a few cuties on the Demon side and Taya, the little Dragon Girl.
After saying goodbye to them, she could leave.
As for luggage, they hadn’t brought any when they arrived, and there was nothing in this world worth taking away.
In that case, she could indeed leave whenever she wanted.
“What about you, Xia Mo?”
“I’m ready too!” Xia Mo nodded vigorously.
“Very well. I will open the spatial channel for you.” The Holy Sovereign turned and walked toward an empty space.
Luo Shuangyue and Xia Mo hurried to follow.
They then saw a silver light emanate from the Holy Sovereign’s hands. Immediately after, she raised her hands and lunged heavily into the air in front of her.
Crack!
The sound of shattering glass rang in Luo Shuangyue’s ears.
The space the Holy Sovereign had pierced actually showed streaks of pitch-black cracks.
The Holy Sovereign didn’t care at all about how much shock this display would cause. She forcefully wrenched her hands sideways.
The crumbling space shattered completely with that single move.
‘Was it this violent?!’ Luo Shuangyue couldn’t help but cry out in surprise.
She had thought the Holy Sovereign would use a magic circle or some other method to send her over.
She never expected this “hand-tearing space” approach.
It was far too unexpected.
Having opened the spatial channel, the Holy Sovereign glanced back at Luo Shuangyue.
“The magic in our world isn’t as refined as yours. In fact, until recently, most life forms relied on innate instinct to use magic.”
Although the life forms in this world possessed intelligence, the concept of society did not exist for them.
Combined with their habit of staying within their own territories, their research into magic was quite shallow.
Their main focus was simply making it functional, unlike humans who could come up with so many elaborate variations.
Even the former Holy Sovereign had been like this; it was only after the Black Calamity descended that she gradually became more clever.
Later, after going to the other world, she realized like a country bumpkin that magic actually had so many uses. But those uses required time to explore slowly.
Right now, she didn’t have the time to slowly construct a refined and beautiful teleportation magic circle for Luo Shuangyue and Xia Mo.
Regardless of how many complaints one might have about tearing space by hand, at least the method worked. And it worked quite well, didn’t it?
“I have done my best to choose an exit close to your mother, but I cannot guarantee exactly how close it is. Once you get there, the swords in your hands should react to her. Follow those reactions, and you will be able to find her.”
As she spoke, the spatial channel behind the Holy Sovereign stabilized while simultaneously beginning to shrink bit by bit.
“Alright, hurry along. This temporary channel won’t last very long.”
Luo Shuangyue took one last look at this Dad she hadn’t seen in a long time and noticed a faint trace of exhaustion on her face.
It seemed Dad had been very busy these past few days as well.
To the Holy Sovereign’s surprise, Luo Shuangyue walked up to her and gave her a slightly restrained hug.
Her body stiffened instantly.
Just as the Holy Sovereign was about to say something, Luo Shuangyue let go, leaving the words stuck in the Holy Sovereign’s throat.
“Remember to rest. I’m leaving now!” Leaving behind those words, Luo Shuangyue ran into the spatial channel without looking back.
Seeing Luo Shuangyue sneak off without a word, Xia Mo hurriedly whispered an apology to the Holy Sovereign and then followed Luo Shuangyue into the spatial tunnel.
As the two disappeared into the channel, the Holy Sovereign’s stiffened body gradually returned to normal.
Just now, she had almost been unable to stop herself from attacking Luo Shuangyue…
“Whew, what a troublesome thing.” Rubbing her brow in distress, the Holy Sovereign stood in place for a moment.
After confirming that Luo Shuangyue and Xia Mo had left the spatial channel and arrived in the Intermediate World, she raised her hand and crushed the temporary channel.
The reason she was in such a hurry to have Luo Shuangyue leave was naturally not just because her presence would accelerate the destruction of this world.
What she didn’t tell Luo Shuangyue was that for every day she stayed by her side, the killing intent in her heart toward Luo Shuangyue grew a little stronger.
Right now, she could still control that intent, but she couldn’t guarantee that she could still control it in a month or two.
This wasn’t because she was affected by Evil Intent, but because the world itself sensed a threat from Luo Shuangyue and wanted to erase her from existence.
As the most powerful being in this world, her perception of this will was naturally the most profound, and the influence she felt was the greatest.
“I hope you have a way to solve this problem… Ye.”
The Holy Sovereign shook her head and let out a helpless sigh.
“Oh? Back already? A bit later than I thought.”
Deep within the Grey Wilderness, a white-haired girl sitting cross-legged among the black monsters opened her eyes. She felt her sword return to her perception, but it was still a bit far; she couldn’t make the sword return directly to her side from this distance.
However, giving the children returning with the sword a little guidance was still possible…
A howl from the distance interrupted White Night’s thoughts.
She looked coldly toward the horizon.
A monster larger than a mountain was slowly walking toward her with heavy steps.
These fellows were also becoming increasingly powerful.
Even if her sword returned to her side, she could no longer keep all these monsters blocked within this world.
She was the last insurance policy. Once her position fell, things would head toward an ending she did not wish to see.
“Two such stubborn and disobedient mothers. Can’t they just sit down and talk? Why are they so intent on killing each other?” White Night stood up, her golden eyes landing on the monster. “How many times has this been… hmm?”
Just as she was pondering how many times she had faced this monster, her perception was triggered once more.
This time it wasn’t her sword, but the teleportation magic circle she had once left behind.
“Strange. Why would this magic circle appear again… Wait, why is Shuangxing coming here?”
As the aura of the magic circle dissipated, White Night caught another familiar scent.
It was the hairpin she had left at home that contained a portion of her power; it should have become her younger daughter’s power by now.
So… her two daughters had arrived here almost one after the other?
“What in the world is going on! Didn’t those people know to stop this silly girl Shuangxing!”
