Yukari stared at the can of milk in Yukina's hand with a complicated expression.
At a ti like this… she's drinking milk?
Yukina, since when did you develop this strange habit?
And…
Fine, drink it if you must, but why are you blushing?
Yukina pursed her lips, eyes fixed on the can of milk in her hand. Her long lashes trembled slightly as her cheeks flushed red.
This was one of the perks of joining Lynn's Peerage. According to Mahiru, it was a magic recovery item?
But…
Recalling Mahiru's reminder, Yukina hesitated.
This… really ca from a senior mber of the Peerage?
Her gaze subconsciously dropped to her chest. Her face grew even redder.
Do I really have to drink this?
Yukina wavered. But…
A violent gust suddenly blew past, ssing up her hair.
Yukina looked up and saw an ocean of pitch black surging toward her like a tide from the abyss.
From another direction, a massive golden snake twisted its body, crushing the earth as it charged at her!
There was no ti to hesitate!
Yukina decisively popped the can open and chugged it down in one go!
Boom boom!!
The instant the milk entered her body…
Yukina could clearly hear the pounding of her own heart.
Monts later…
A powerful force surged from deep within her!
Her depleted magic was instantly restored!
Boom—!
Magic power erupted from Yukina. Her black hair whipped in the wind as she raised her Snowdrift Wolf spear without a mont's pause!
Buzz—
A fierce gale coiled around the tip of the spear once more.
"This is…"
Yukari was stunned as she watched Yukina's condition.
Magic… it actually recovered?
And at such an absurd speed!!
Yukari looked down at the can of milk still in Yukina's hand. A thought crossed her mind.
Could this be so kind of magic-recovery item?
Her knowledge allowed her to see through the milk's nature in an instant.
But… wasn't the effect a little too insane?
And…
She was certain Yukina didn't have an item like this before.
Lynn…
The na flashed in Yukari's mind.
Then she recalled the Lynn Group that specialized in extraordinary items.
Could it be…
This was one of their products?
With that thought, Yukari had the sudden urge to place an order.
If every mber of the Organization had one of these cans, it could literally save lives during ergencies!
Keeping that in mind, Yukari turned her focus back to the battlefield.
She had no intention of letting Yukina handle both familiars alone.
But…
Her offensive capabilities weren't suited to killing familiars with one strike.
Her role leaned more toward support.
So…
Yukari lightly tapped the air with her index finger, forming a golden, obscure incantation that shot into Yukina's body like an arrow.
Yukina flinched, then suddenly felt the quality of her magic surge.
It was like… she had broken through a barrier within herself?
Yukina's mind sharpened.
The cyclone at the tip of the Snowdrift Wolf suddenly expanded!
"Descendant of Suanni and High-Ranking Sword Sorceress, hear my call.
Dawnbringer of Devil Slaying, Snow Cloud's divine wolf, wield your steel and help destroy these evil gods and devouring demons!"
She subconsciously chanted the incantation for Snowdrift Wolf's attack.
Buzz—
In an instant, the spear flared even brighter than before!
Dimitrie Vatler narrowed his eyes, instinctively feeling a surge of fear toward the light.
Just Monas and Shuji may not be enough…
Dimitrie imdiately shouted, "Drakshaka, Nanda!"
As the words fell—
The two massive snakes behind him opened their eyes, which glead with eerie light.
Green and purple beams shot from their eyes and mouths!
Yukari quickly stepped forward and deployed a barrier.
Boom!!
The green and purple beams twisted into a spiral and slamd into the barrier.
Buzz—
The barrier groaned and trembled violently under the pressure!
But…
Despite the intensity, Yukari remained calm.
Yukina, anwhile, was focused on the two attacking snakes.
Top of the head and lower jaw?
Using her [Eye of Divine Punishnt], Yukina locked onto the weak points of both familiars, then launched herself with a powerful push from her feet.
Swoosh—
Without warning, she vanished!
A split second later!
Yukina reappeared above the black snake's head!
Without hesitation, she stabbed the Snowdrift Wolf down into its skull!
At the sa ti, she activated the spear's special ability.
Divine Resonance Vibration Technique!
Facing two familiars at once, Yukina didn't waste magic. She used [Divine Core Vibration Critical Breakthrough] precisely.
Not to ntion…
With Lynn's boost and Snowdrift Wolf's enhancents.
Even if she couldn't kill it outright, she could at least deliver serious damage.
And she had targeted its weak point.
"Roar—!"
The black snake let out a pained roar as its massive body slamd to the ground!
Seeing that, Yukina turned toward the golden snake.
Its lower jaw wasn't as easy to hit as the top of its head…
So…
She used the sa tactic—throwing the Snowdrift Wolf like a javelin!
But the golden snake was agile. It shook its head and dodged the strike.
A trace of arrogance flashed in its eyes. But the next second, the spear reappeared in Yukina's hands.
She flung it again without hesitation.
Golden Snake: "?"
Not gonna play fair?
It instinctively tried to dodge again, but Yukina preemptively activated [Divine Core Vibration], distorting space around the spear.
Whoosh—
Like it was equipped with thrusters, the spear's speed surged dramatically!
Slick—
This ti, the golden snake failed to react in ti. The spear pierced straight through its jaw!
"Hiss—!"
Its eyes turned bloodshot as it shrieked, its massive body collapsing backward!
Witnessing this.
Yukina exhaled in relief.
Even she hadn't expected to wield her new power so skillfully on the first try.
She could actually control it with such precision.
This ti, she used [Divine Core Vibration Critical Breakthrough] efficiently, not only conserving magic but also greatly increasing the spear's speed.
Of course.
Its power wasn't on par with a full-on breakthrough.
That much was clear from the fact that the two giant snakes, though injured, were still alive.
But Yukina didn't mind.
She needed to conserve magic for what mattered most.
Her gaze shifted toward Dimitrie Vatler.
If they didn't take him down soon, who knew how many more beasts he could summon?
She understood the principle of cutting off the head of the enemy.
At the sa ti.
In the Organization's eting room.
Shirona Kuraki and Koyomi Shizuka watched the battlefield unfold.
"Are we really just going to keep watching?"
Koyomi's tone was calm.
With her strength, she could probably end the battle.
But…
"Keep watching."
Shirona's voice held a trace of anticipation.
She hadn't expected Yukina to return so suddenly.
Even more surprising was the power Yukina now displayed.
Why?
Shirona was curious.
anwhile.
In the Soul Reapers' World.
Hueco Mundo.
Miko and the others were still exploring the vast wastelands.
Lynn wasn't particularly interested and just observed their movents through his [Evil Pieces].
This was a newly unlocked ability after he beca a Transcendent.
It allowed him to observe each Peerage mber through their Evil Piece.
For example, at the mont, the view before Lynn showed Miko's group.
But that wasn't all.
Using the [Evil Pieces], Lynn could also teleport to any of his Peerage mbers.
Even across worlds.
As he was watching Miko and the others—
Yukina's Evil Piece flickered slightly, drawing his attention.
He nodded, and a virtual screen opened to his right.
The image showed Yukina and the current battlefield.
"This is…"
Lynn narrowed his red eyes.
He had so mory of the person opposing Yukina.
If he rembered correctly.
It was that vampire who showed up frequently?
As he thought about it, Yukina's image on the screen suddenly shifted.
Her long black hair turned snow white. Her pupils glowed silver like the Snowdrift Wolf's tip. A chain engraved with runes wrapped around her neck.
Lynn's crimson gaze narrowed.
"Devil Transformation…"
