Boom! Boom! Boom!

Several powerful shockwaves swept out the entire area inside the barrier. It was followed by heavy earthquakes that changed the land formation.

If Souta was to describe it, he was going to say that it was violent. Yuko was using her blessing to destroy everything inside the barrier.

To think that she was capable of this much destruction was beyond his comprehension. He didn't expect that she would be able to fully control her blessing without him noticing it.

"Hm?"

Souta noticed that cracks started to appear on the barrier around them. Even Souta would have a hard time breaking this barrier that Lynn prepared for half an hour with every bit of her mana.

Boom! Boom!

After several shockwaves, the cracks spread out in the whole barrier. It was going to break at any moment. The only reason why it could hold was that Lynn was pouring her mana into this barrier.

"That girl..." Souta smiled wryly as he imagined Lynn's face while trying to fix this barrier.

'You're not going to stop, Yuko?' Saya asked him.

"Nope, this is a good chance to settle this problem. I'm pretty confident that I could handle the leftover." Souta shook his head before he forced his attention at Yuko.

'Ufufu, you're fighting them now that you've broken their will and mind. What an evil goblin you are...' Saya said with a laugh.

Boom!

The barrier was shattered into tiny pieces as it couldn't hold the extreme power inside it. The particles dissipated into thin air.

'Yuko, stop using your blessing.' Souta said to her through their contract. Yuko couldn't understand his words but the contract transmitted his intent to her.

Yuko quickly stopped using the power of blessing as soon as Souta's intent was transmitted to her mind. This was to avoid the prying eyes of other people.

The people inside were beaten to a pulp by Yuko. They will not be able to fight anymore. They were physically and mentally exhausted.

"Let me finish what I started..." Souta muttered as he slowly descended on the ground using the power of gravity.

...

"Ah."

Lynn fell on her knees as the barrier that she worked hard to build collapses in front of her eyes.

"I'm sorry, Souta."

She said to herself as she closed her eyes and imagined his disappointed expression. She turned pale just by thinking about it.

Although the barrier collapsed, Souta's spell, the [Dark Cloud Hunting] spell, was still in effect. She wanted to go inside but she held back herself because she remembered Souta said to wait for him in this place.

"Still... I'm very curious about what's happening there. I could feel tremendous energy but that's all." Lynn said to herself.

She will try to increase her mana capacity next time so that the barrier that she'll create would grow stronger.

Hays...

Lynn sighed as she tied her long purple hair into a ponytail.

"I will watch this place in case someone appeared and disturbed Souta's battle." She said to herself as she stood up and patted her clothes. She then drunk mana potions to recover some of her mana.

...

"I'll protect you..." Frankie tightly hugged the mage's body to protect him from getting injured.

Ramie covered her eyes as she crouched down to balance herself. The shockwaves were causing powerful earthquakes that changed the land formation.

"What's happening...?"

She couldn't believe what she was seeing. The loud cracking sound in the area made her look up into the sky. The shockwaves were sweeping the black mist so before it formed again she caught a glimpse of the state of the barrier.

The barrier was going to collapse at any moment.

"The barrier... We can leave this place, Frankie." Ramie said to Frankie who was carrying the mage in his arms.

"Why?" Frankie looked back at Ramie and asked.

"There's crack on the barrier," Ramie replied to him and the barrier broke creating a loud sound.

Bang!

The barrier around them was shattered into tiny particles like a fragile glass. As soon as the barrier collapsed, the shockwaves in the surrounding disappeared too.

The area turned silent after a few moments and the black mist got thicker once again.

"The barrier is gone..." Frankie muttered while looking around.

"Yeah, but the black mist is still here," Ramie said in response to his words.

Swoosh!!

A huge figure was heading towards them from above.

Frankie and Ramie looked up as they felt it. It was different from the one that they've faced before.

"Move!!"

The two of them jumped away to avoid getting hit by the huge figure.

Boom!

The figure crashed on their position before causing the ground to tremble.

While they were in the mid-air, black tentacles appeared once again. The tentacles aimed at them before it stretched out trying to bind them.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

"Frankie!" Ramie looked at Frankie while pulling out the daggers on her waist.

"Yeah, I know." Frankie nodded as he held the mage in one arm before pulling out his sword with his free hand.

Suddenly, Frankie and the mage were pushed towards the ground as the gravity increased by twenty times.

Bang!

The two of them crashed on the ground as the black tentacles flew towards them.

"Frankie!!" Ramie shouted with a worried expression. She then saw the figure who crashed on the ground move towards her.

After a closer look, she found that this was the bear from before. It means that Souta Ieshi, the commander of the Dark Oculus Legion, was here in this place.

She stepped on the black tentacles to jumped away but the tentacles dissipated into thin air.

"Wha-"

She was surprised at this. She didn't think that the opponent could instantly dispel the spell that they casted.

Swoosh!

Yuko appeared in front of her and gathered her mana in her arms. Ramie simply crossed her daggers in front of her to block Yuko's attack. She knew that she couldn't dodge it in this distance.

She was wrong... Everything that will happen was out of her expectations.

Souta appeared behind her and pushed her towards Yuko. Yuko then threw a powerful punch aiming at her stomach.

Bang!

Ramie spat a mouthful of blood as she flew and crashed on the ground creating a fissure in her path.

As soon as her body stopped moving, black tentacles rose around her and bound her limbs. Finally, the [Shadow Bind] managed to get Ramie. She wouldn't be able to break it easily with just her strength.

"Switch."

Souta vanished from his position and he appeared in the space above Ramie. "Hehe~" He fell down and stabbed the stomach of the girl with his sword. After that, he twisted it so that the girl would feel intense pain.

Just like what he expected, Ramie screamed at the top of her lungs.

"ARRGGGHH!! IT HURTS!!"

Frankie turned his head and saw Souta stabbing his sword at Ramie. He placed down the mage and said, "Stay here for a while. I'll rescue Ramie."

He then charged towards Souta's direction at high speed.

Swoosh!

Souta looked at him as he knitted his brows. He opened his mouth and said, "Yuko."

Roar!

Yuko roared and she intercepted Frankie by throwing a powerful blow and Frankie swung his sword in response.

Boom!

Both of their attacks collided causing a huge gust of winds. The energy spiked up creating sparks the flew around them.

Both of them took a distance from each other. Frankie realized that he couldn't easily get past and rescue Ramie.

"You! What happened to our leader?" Frankie asked as he tightly grabbed his sword using both of his hands.

"Leader? Ah, they give up. They felt despair when they saw Yuko's true strength. It's thrilling to watch them fought someone they couldn't win." Souta replied to him with a smile. He then twisted his sword causing Ramie to scream in pain.

"RAMIE!!" Frankie shouted but he didn't charge forward. He knew that the bear would simply stop him just like before.

"Are you sure that you need to pay attention to me?" Souta said as he pulled his sword and pointed at the person behind Frankie.

"What?" Frankie turned around and saw black tentacles wriggling around the mage's body.

"Crush it." As soon as Souta said those words the black tentacles around the mage tightened. It shattered the bones inside the mage's body.

"ARGH! IT HURTS!" The mage screamed painfully.

Suddenly, Yuko charged forward and swung her paw at him.

Bang!

She caught him off guard as her full power swing landed on his face. Frankie flew into a distance before he rolled on the ground.

Yuko chased after him as she jumped towards him attempting to smash his head into smithereens.

Frankie saw it and he rolled to the side barely avoiding Yuko's feet.

Boom!

"Just give up," Souta muttered in a cold tone as he watched Frankie fight Yuko. The black tentacles around Ramie tightened and it slowly squashed her bones one by one.

Her painful scream reverberated in the whole area. It greatly distracted Frankie who was busy fighting Yuko. The screams of his friends echoed in his ears like a curse.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Due to him being distracted Yuko beat him one-sidedly.

"No, my friends... Let them go..." Frankie said while lying on the ground. His body was full of wounds.

"Today's show is complete so please give me a big applause," Souta said as he clapped.

Yuko looked at Souta and thought that he was praising her so she copied him and clapped too.

Clap! Clap!

Souta strode towards Frankie who was reaching his hands towards Ramie. He slowly raised his sword and stabbed his hand.

"Argh!" Frankie groaned in pain as the sword nailed his hand.

Souta squatted down and looked at Frankie's eyes with a grin on his face. He slowly opened his mouth and asked, "How do you feel? What do you think? Fun? Joy? Despair?"
