Beyond that holy white light, the rumbling grew clearer. Then, under Little Liana's delighted gaze—
Neigh!
Hundreds of powerful Unicorns charged through the hole in the wall and into the core room. These Unicorns were nothing like Little Liana and Ellie in size.
On the leading Unicorn's back, Emilia raised her Tree Staff and cast a spell to hasten everyone. The Unicorns behind carried Sylvia and Audrey, who were casting spells to tear open space, as well as Daniste, who wore the Stubborn Stone Hat and protected everyone with the Red Moon.
"We found Little Liana! The bad guys are here—charge!"
Emilia pointed her Tree Staff ahead. The herd of Unicorns galloping through the air surged across the Blood Lake like charging cavalry, rushing toward the Doppelganger in the sky.
The pure white radiance of the hundreds of Unicorns condensed into a single force. The power of their resonance not only protected them, but the burst of strength at that moment felt even more troublesome to the Doppelganger than facing Shade and Sister Devlin just now.
With a wave of its hand, it condensed the Blood Water from the Blood Lake into several enormous layered shields. But those crimson shields shattered instantly beneath the Unicorns' charge—it was practically equivalent to hundreds of pureblood dragons breathing in unison. The Blood Lake was dyed white by the reflected forms of the Unicorns, and the Doppelganger took a step back in midair without hesitation.
The phantom of the Flesh City, which had just dissipated, appeared once more. This time, it entered it voluntarily.
The Unicorn Legion's charge struck nothing but air. Their pure white afterimages passed through the phantom layer of the Flesh City, and Emilia had no choice but to direct the Unicorns to turn around and join Winnie and Little Liana.
