「It seems this really is the base of the pest who has been sniffing around Kanata.」
Lunaire's cold glare was fixed on Veranta and company.
「T-This can't be… How did she manage to avoid our detection!?」
Veranta was confused.
In order to avoid Lunaire, Veranta used his 《Gift Skill》, the 《Universal Alchemy》, to observe her with utmost caution.
And according to Veranta's observation, Lunaire didn't seem to realize she was being spied on, nor did she have the opportunity to inform Kanata.
Veranta didn't know how Lunaire had detected his presence, found his base, and tid her attack to coincide with the gathering of the three mbers of the 《Invisible Hand of God》 at this place.
「Could it be she used so kind of magic or item? No, that still doesn't explain the current situation. I should've made no mistake. And yet, it's as if everything I did was being leaked out. I've never seen an item or magic that can do sothing like this. Only the 《Eye of Tiamat》 can do sothing like tha—」
Veranta suddenly paused as he recalled the matter of the missing Sophia.
「Could it be that… item ended up in her hands!?」
Veranta massaged his head.
The 《Eye of Tiamat》 allowed its owner to see every single corner of this world.
With enough ti and magical power, it was theoretically possible to see anything happening in the world.
It was the ultimate item for gathering information.
There was no thod to hide from soone in possession of such an item.
「How can it be… I’ve confird that Lunaire hasn’t held the 《Eye of Tiamat》 when I observed her!」
As a side note, after Lunaire received the 《Eye of Tiamat》 from Sophia, she used the item to constantly monitor Kanata’s activity, leading to the item being confiscated by Noble Mimic.
Afterward, Noble used the 《Eye of Tiamat》 to gather information, but such a small coincidence was outside of Veranta’s observation.
It was truly an unfortunate coincidence for Veranta.
「Hou, so she’s Lunaire the lich whom the higher beings are so wary of. Great, coming up from the front like this is more my style than coming up with a lot of complicated plans. Step back if you’re afraid of her, Veranta. She’s my prey.」 Ṛ𝘈ℕO͍βĘṠ
Nobunaga was grinning from ear to ear as he stepped forward toward Lunaire.
However, Zero passed by his side from behind at that very mont.
「Uhm? So this fella can move on their own…」
Nobunaga looked at Zero’s back doubtfully while muttering those words.
Zero was rapidly closing in on Lunaire, but their stride suddenly turned in the middle.
They turned to the side, closing in rapidly toward the wall of the tower instead of approaching Lunaire.
「O-Oi, does this an that Zero is ditching us!? Rather, do they even have emotions to begin with?」
Nobunaga retorted angrily while glaring at Zero's back.
Lunaire suddenly kicked the ground too, closing in on the wall right behind Zero.
Zero glanced casually at Lunaire behind them, but quickly looked to the front again.
「Ti-Space Magic, 22nd Rank《Muse Garden》」
A high-pitched voice suddenly echoed from the draped cloth on Zero.
A magic circle deployed around him (Zero). [TN: Zero’s gender finally got revealed.]
Lunaire unleashed a sharp kick toward Zero.
The kick seed to hit Zero’s head, but it passed through them as if they were made of air.
Lunaire spun once in the air due to the montum of her kick before landing gracefully on the ground.
「… A space-ti magic that nullifies physical contact… What a botherso magic.」
Zero’s eyes locked for a mont with Lunaire before their body floated lightly in the air for a mont and then sunk into the ground.
They were obviously trying to escape by phasing through the wall.
「Ti-Space Magic, 20th Rank《Graviwitch》」
Lunaire stretched her arm toward Zero.
A large, black arm resembling a mass of black mist extended and overlapped with her arm.
The huge black arm grabbed Zero’s abdon like it was nothing.
「GIH!?」
Zero scread.
「Gravity can intervene with the axis of the extra-dinsion. It’s actually a simple counterasure, however… Are you by chance not realizing such a simple solution?」
The huge black arm still held Zero, swinging them twice, then thrice.
「GIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!」
Zero raised a scream.
「Now choose. Either be slamd to the ground till you’re broken into tiny pieces… or phase through material and fall forever?」
The black arm rose high into the air and slamd Zero into the ground.
Zero canceled their ti-space magic and slamd into the ground right after.
The force of the slam was so strong that it created a huge crater, sending tons of soil into the air along with a thunderous sound.
At the sa ti, the force also created huge, spiderweb-like cracks.
「Gi… GI, gi…」
Zero moaned weakly in pain.
They tried to lift their body but crumbled down imdiately as if they had used up all their strength.
「That slam should’ve crushed you to pieces, but you seem to be more durable than I expected. I might’ve underestimated you a little bit.」
Lunaire spoke coldly.
「T-This can’t be… My Zero, my trump card is being toyed with by her!」
Veranta could only watch in shock.
The incident happened so fast and absurdly, leaving Veranta and Nobunaga unable to react in ti and left to watch Zero being curb-stomped by Lunaire with dumbfounded faces.
Lunaire then looked at Zero, who was lying weakly beneath her feet.
A pale and slender arm peeked out from the edge of Zero’s robe.
Their skin was branded with tons of magic formulae.
The brand-like scars kept glowing with an ominous red color.
「This fella… is more like a powerful cursed object than a living creature. Are you the one who made this thing? Such tasteless hobbies.」
Lunaire cast a frigid gaze toward Veranta.
「… Well, I guess it’s sowhat better than , who thought that returning from Hades would make my mother happy.」
Lunaire stepped forward, heading toward Veranta and Nobunaga.
「U-Urgh…!」
Seeing such overwhelming power, Veranta flinched.
「No need to take turns. Both of you can co together.」
