The blood-stained talisman bomb grazed Ilena's shoulder, flew past the Great Toad crouching behind her, and struck the air.
"Crack!"
A sound like a silver vase shattering or ice beginning to thaw rang through this Small World. Behind Sartogua, the golden Full Moon hovering in midair was blasted with a bowl-sized gap, as though someone had taken a bite out of a round cake. Dense black cracks spread outward from that gap like a spiderweb.
"Crack, crack..."
Amid fine cracking sounds, the moonlight trembled violently, even its color growing somewhat illusory. Sartogua's figure swayed with it. Seizing the opportunity, the black cat suddenly exerted strength with both paws, roared, and pressed downward.

Furthermore, Sartogua deliberately opened its half-lidded eye a little wider and glared at the witch.
Frenzied mental assaults, pouncing tentacles, blades
