{Correction to the previous chapter: Aoi Spiral City of the Four Souls World was not covered by a barrier, and outsiders could clearly see its specific appearance. The earlier text has been revised.}
"What was that?"
Loli Mercury raised an eyebrow.
She was about to say something, but immediately cut herself off and turned into an afterimage to evade the incoming black gleam.
The horse beneath her, however, was not so capable.
It was instantly severed in two, blood spraying everywhere as its scream abruptly stopped.
Hovering in midair, Loli Mercury looked back and discovered that the attacker was actually Giselle.
Her friend and subordinate!
Scarlet blood dripped from the black scythe in Giselle's hand.
Yet Giselle's expression was no different from those of the Yin-Yang masters around them who were slaughtering one another.
"Ah, Boss, I'm sorry!"
"I don't know what's happening either! My body moved on its own!"
While swinging her black scythe at Hanakaiin Mingzai, Giselle loudly explained herself to Loli Mercury, her face filled with anxiety and panic.
"Calm down. Immediately cover your entire body with Armament Haki!"
Loli Mercury calmly gave the order.
Giselle instinctively mobilized the Armament Haki within her body upon hearing it.
The next moment,
As her Haki was released, the strange ability imposed on her was purified, and she regained control over her body.
However, the shikigami attacks from Hanakaiin Mingzai forced her to defend herself.
Giselle quickly leaped off the horse, beat her bat wings, and flew into the sky, leaving the chaotic battlefield.
Looking down at the eleven Hanakaiin Clan Yin-Yang masters still locked in battle below,
Giselle angrily shouted, "Boss, someone's up to something!"
Though no one had died yet, quite a few people had already been injured and fallen to the ground.
"Mm."
Loli Mercury nodded expressionlessly.
