That was what she thought.
Ellen could no longer spare a thought for Yoshino or the Yamai Sisters.
She immediately fired the thrusters on her back and flew after Miku.
But just as Miku cleared the venue roof and Ellen was about to follow—
The entire venue was suddenly encased in thick ice.
Even the open roof was sealed over.
"—!"
Ellen's eyes widened. She slammed on the brakes just before she crashed into the ice ceiling.
But that cost her the best chance to recapture Diva.
The Truth About Miku
The Three Captured Spirits
The ice Yoshino had created blocked Ellen's path. All she could do was watch as the Yamai Sisters' wind carried Miku away.
Ellen's brow furrowed slightly. She looked angry.
She was the strongest Wizard, yet a target she should have caught with ease had escaped. It was a disgrace.
Then the three Spirits spoke behind her.
"Thank goodness... Big Sister got away..."
"Kukuku... Even the strongest Wizard among humans can only be toyed with before us."
"Warning. It's wonderful that Big Sister is safe, but we're in trouble now."
Just as Yuzuru said, Ellen turned and fixed them with a sharp stare.
"Good... Very good. If you're so eager to take Diva's place and die, I'll oblige—"
The moment she finished speaking, she vanished from where she stood.
In the blink of an eye, she appeared before the three Spirits.
Then she used the same method she had used on Miku. With a mental command, she pressed her Territory down on all three at maximum power.
"Ugh..."
"Eek—"
"Distress..."
It felt as though every cell in their bodies had grown several times heavier. After letting out pained groans, all three collapsed to the ground.
They neither had their full Spirit Power nor Miku's enhancement.
