A Powerful Foe Strikes Without Warning! / We're All Rozen Maidens!

Seeing that Scout had agreed, Suika looked at Closure.

"Why are you staring at me? I'm a logistics person, I don't participate in combat!" Closure said warily, worried that she might be used for experiments.

Chapter 174 A Powerful Enemy Suddenly Attacks!

Suika grinned at Closure, and just as Closure felt a chill run down her spine, she pulled out a green hat and handed it to her.

"Huh?" Closure looked at Suika with surprise and doubt.

"This is for you, see if it suits you!"

"Why don't you... well, your head can't handle this!" Kroos had originally wanted to ask Suika why she didn't wear it herself, but after seeing the two exaggerated horns on Suika's head, Closure took back her words.

After taking the hat, Closure examined it closely. It was just an ordinary hat, and there was no golden headband hidden inside that she could not remove once she put it on. Only then did she feel at ease and put it on her head.

"Doesn't it look good?" Closure asked, pointing to the tip of her nose after putting it on.

"You know what, it's much prettier than I imagined."

Closure is a beauty, but her hobbies often make her look dirty, and she also wears drab work clothes, so she doesn't usually stand out.

But this time, after shedding her makeup and revealing her true self, she was a stunningly beautiful woman, and the addition of a bright and colorful hat made her look even more youthful and radiant.

"Hehe, of course." As a woman, she was naturally happy to be praised for her beauty by another woman. She couldn't help but look at the semi-transparent car window next to her, admiring her own charm in the reflection cast there.

"Cough cough, you're all doomed, you foolish Sarkaz."

You dare to do this for the sake of those civilians? When he arrives, you will all die!

They all have to die!

Suddenly, a burst of angry curses came from the back of the vehicle. Suika turned her head and saw that Viscount Scott had woken up and was now glaring at her and her group, cursing them.

Can I punch him?

"Don't kill him!" Scout, who was driving, said.

"Alright!" Then, Suika withdrew her strength and slapped the man's face several times, causing his face to swell up instantly. The man immediately stopped groaning.

"So, this guy has someone above him?"

After sitting back down, Suika patted her bottom and asked...

"I don't know. If he does have some, that would be perfect, since this guy doesn't have enough money to explain when we get back."

Closure glared fiercely at the man, then said nonchalantly.

Although he said that, the Scout actually drove for several hundred kilometers before stopping.

Sitting by the makeshift fire, Closure looked rather unwell.

"Damn it, I rushed out and forgot to bring the seasonings."

We'll just have to make do today!

Suika held up her finger and waved it in front of her.

"No need, Scout, you don't need to go hunting either. We'll take care of dinner tonight!"

Looking at Suika's small handbag, which didn't seem like it could hold much food, Closure was puzzled as to how she planned to produce the food. Was she going to conjure it up?

Just as she was about to complain, she saw Suika snap her fingers, and then all sorts of delicious food appeared around her.

"You can actually conjure food!" Closure, her eyes wide, blurting out what was on her mind.

"Of course not. I can't explain the exact principle, but you can eat it and feel full after eating it, but you can't take it with you. If you don't finish it, it will just disappear when the time is up."

After hearing what Suika said, Closure quickly grabbed a plate of spicy and sour Fowlbeast blood from the side and started eating.

Scout picked up a plate of braised pork ribs and potatoes and started eating it by himself.

Seeing their actions, Suika reached out her hand, intending to say that these dishes were meant to be shared, and there was no need for each person to carry a separate bowl.

Seeing that the two were enjoying their meal, he didn't say anything. Instead, he took a small bowl, put some of his favorite dishes into it, and started eating as well.

After finishing her meal, Closure patted her belly and let out a satisfied burp.

"Hiccup... This food smells amazing... Is this really magical? I can't believe it."

"If magic could do that, so many people wouldn't starve to death every year."

I found traces of spatial distortion on these things... they must have been teleported here using magic from somewhere."

Scout picked up a piece of paper, wiped his lips clean, and said...

Closure nodded in agreement after hearing this.

If such powerful magic truly exists, then hunger will no longer be a major threat to Terra.

But that seems unlikely, because everything has a source.

It's amazing enough that food can be created out of thin air, let alone something so delicious; it's simply impossible.

After finishing their meal, the three of them sat there chatting.

"Shouldn't we get that guy in the car something to eat?" Suika asked.

"That guy is so fat, he won't die even if he starves for two days."

"Besides, we're driving back, and even with today, it'll only take three days at most to get there. Three days of hunger is nothing!" Scout replied.

After listening, Suika nodded in agreement. When Suika was on Earth, she had seen a program where the guests would starve themselves for two or three days before starting their wilderness survival performances.

Others can endure three days of hunger and trekking through mountains and rivers, so it shouldn't be a problem for the guy in the car to lie down for three days without food.

"By the way, Scout, didn't you want to see the fighting power of 'Shanghai' before? Now you have the chance!"

Suika suddenly spoke.

"You want to have a competition? Maybe we should forget it. What if you get injured? You'll have to drive for a long time tomorrow!" Closure looked at Scout.

Scout stood up, squinted, and tensed up the moment he saw one of the figures that had suddenly appeared in the distance.

"Suika, you take Closure and go first, I'll stay and keep them here!"

Closure immediately sensed something was wrong. She stood up and looked at the target Scout was staring at, and a chill ran from the soles of her feet straight to her head.

"W-wh-what's going on...? How... how could he be here...?"

When she saw who it was, Closure was so frightened that her voice trembled.

Scout gritted his teeth

"I'll try my best to stop them. When the time comes, run to the riverbank, jump in and don't surface. Hold your breath for as long as you can, and whether you survive or not is up to fate."

"Forget it, look at Closure she even run...?" Scout glanced at Closure out of the corner of his eye after hearing Suika's words. Although she was standing, her trembling legs didn't look like she could run at all.

"Leave it to me! Didn't I tell you? I'll show you the fighting power of these puppets!"

After saying that, Suika walked in front of the two of them, and with a crisp snap of her fingers, the dolls floated in mid-air and surrounded the enemies.

Chapter 175 We Are All Rozen Maidens!

Faced with the army of puppets surrounding them, the leader finally raised his eyebrows.

"I never expected to run into the little rat from Rhodes Island."

"You guys don't hide in those stinking ditches where you'll never be found and eke out a living, but instead dare to come up to me. That's really interesting."

Before Scout could speak, Suika stopped him.

"It's a rare opportunity to meet a ruler of a Royal Court again. Leave the fighting to me!"

Let me think... Is your name Durex? No, wait, I think it's Ducas...?

Sorry, it's been so long, I can't remember everything... Blood Demon Lord Dukale, am I right?

Standing in front of the two, Suika's golden hair stood on end, looking like it was bristling.

"Suika, you..." Closure with some concern.

"Have you seen Dragon Ball? This is my Super Saiyan form, it's super strong!" Suika smiled and waved her hand, then whispered, "... And this hairstyle is perfect for playing cards."

"Oh?

You recognize me.

Where do you get the courage to stand before me and oppose me?!

The man emerged from the shadows, leading only a small squad of about ten men, yet he stood before them like a vast army.

Seeing that Dukale hadn't launched an attack first, and that the Shanghai Dolls had already completed their encirclement, Suika let out a sigh of relief, calming her nerves, and a slight smile appeared on her lips.

"At this moment, there are multiple Shanghai Dolls present, so her effect [We Are All Rozen Maidens] is triggered."

Unfold, Reality Marble [Dream of the Rozen Maidens]!

The moment Suika spoke, the dolls flying in mid-air became transparent.

The sky and the ground transformed into two enormous mirrors, and the Blood Demon Lord Dukale and his minions were enveloped within the mirrors and vanished from their original positions.

"Dead... they're dead just like that?" Closure asked in disbelief as she watched the Blood Demon Lord and his party disappear.

"Of course... no."

Let's hurry up and get out of here! I'm not sure how long this thing can hold them off!

Just a second ago, Suika looked confident and in control, but then she turned around and ran towards the vehicle.

Scout and Closure paused for a second, then followed her to the car.

Just as the vehicle started, Closure looked nervously at the spot where Dukale and the others were, still shrouded in mirrors, and asked...

"Those dolls..."

"Don't worry, they'll come back on their own after it's over."

Just after the car drove away, Suika, sitting in the passenger seat, wiped away her sweat and looked back at the place where she had rested. The pressure from the other side was too great.

Before meeting Dukale, she felt that with her abilities, even if she couldn't defeat a Royal Court, she should be able to escape unscathed.

But when she actually faced this Kitten Egg Roll, Suika realized one thing: power is one thing, and being able to use it is another.

Most of one's power comes from sudden acquisition, while Kitten Egg Roll's power comes from hundreds of years of accumulation.

Even though my damage output is higher than his, I feel like a child wielding a sharp weapon in his presence.

It's not that I'm not strong enough, but rather that my control over my power is almost inadequate in the eyes of my opponent.

Suika, however, didn't see anything wrong with it.

After all, all his strength had only been acquired in a year. In just one year, he had gained power that others could not obtain in a lifetime. What more could he ask for?

What I lack now is experience and practical experience.

Once she has fully mastered the abilities, she really won't be afraid of crickets, kittens, Kitten Egg Roll anymore.

As for myself now... I can only describe it as reckless courage. Just now, when faced with the terrifying aura of Kitten Egg Roll, which was the result of countless battles over hundreds of years, I was already quite bold to not be stunned and even have the mood to do something outrageous.

Ten minutes later, the mirror shattered with a crash, leaving the surroundings in a mess. Apart from a huge blood cocoon in the center, Dukale's team had all vanished without a trace.

A few minutes later, after confirming that there was no further attack from outside, the blood cocoon slowly opened a mouth.

Dukale walked out with an icy expression, his eyes blazing with fury that seemed to set the surroundings ablaze.

He no longer looked as elegant as before; although he had no injuries, his clothes had several large holes in them.

While trapped, he activated his Originium Arts in an attempt to break through.

But this space was strange; his attacks all landed in some unknown empty space.

Then those wretched puppets launched a surprise attack on him and his elite squad.

The puppet holding the lance was moving at an incredible speed.

In just a moment, he rushed in front of the group.

Besides him, only two others managed to dodge the charge; the rest were pierced by lances in the first wave of attack and died on the spot.

Seeing this, he tried to use the blood of his dead men to grab the puppets, but after rushing into the sea of blood, he touched nothing.

Although the dolls appeared to be there, they didn't feel real at all.

Illusion, or illusion?

That was his first reaction, then his blood transformed into a long whip that lashed through the air, but still didn't touch anything.

Just as he was frowning and trying to figure out what these puppets were, they launched another attack.
