"Boom—!"
When the roar transformed into waves of sound and spread out like a shockwave, the Valkyrie's Light Sword cleaved through the seal of the Prison Barrier. The entire Prison Barrier seemed like a reflection in water. It was split apart first, then rippled and trembled as though trying to restore its original state, gradually returning to its former shape.
Yet as it changed, the Prison Barrier, which had still been wavering as unstably as a mirage, grew more and more solid. Even the floating bridge connected to the island became tangible.
Thus, the seal of the Prison Barrier was broken, and it completely returned to ordinary space.
The trembling of space vanished.
What remained was a thoroughly real scene.
"This is bad!"
Seeing this, Kojo could not help crying out, while the Meiya Sisters looked delighted.
As for Sendougi Yuma, she did not show the slightest hint of joy.
"Even though the seal of the Prison Barrier has been broken, the prisoners still haven't appeared."
Sendougi Yuma merely confirmed that fact.
"As expected, we have to deal with the source."
Sendougi Yuma shifted her gaze, first glancing at Kojo before looking toward Luo Zhen.
"If you want to know the truth, then come with me, Nangong Day Star."
With that, Sendougi Yuma merged into space together with Number Six and Aurora, disappearing without a trace.
Thanks to this, the Valkyrie in midair also vanished amid shimmering rainbow light, as though her task had been completed.
"Wait! Yuma!"
Only then did Kojo react. He shouted toward the direction in which Sendougi Yuma had disappeared.
What he received in reply was a single sentence from Sendougi Yuma.
"This isn't a place you should come to, Kojo. Go back. I don't want to hurt you."
After leaving behind those words, Sendougi Yuma
