"Hah—!"
Outside the barrier, realizing that his strike had achieved no effect whatsoever, Reinhardt let out a low roar. The red glow in his eyes intensified as the blurry golden figure crouched slightly, crossed his arms before his chest, and made his Small Universe burn even more fiercely.
"What a lunatic."
After praising the Rat Immortal, Yellow Flower Cat turned to the Gold Saint, who seemed intent on trying again. Its ears flattened in displeasure. "...Don't take on work beyond your means. If you smash the pots and jars, we'll be the ones cleaning up the mess."
As it spoke, it opened its mouth.
A bean-sized fireball silently appeared in its mouth. It rolled soundlessly along with its breathing, and with every rotation, its color seemed to deepen. Vast amounts of Magic Power surged into its mouth from every direction, vanishing into that tiny fireball.
Clearly, it intended to deal with the trouble before it in the simplest, most brutal way possible.
"—Don't be rash."
Madam Shi Hui's voice rang out from within the barrier, cautioning the impatient flower cat. "As we just said, destroying Hogwarts Castle could very well shake the foundations of this world's existence... Don't forget our true purpose... And expending too much Magic Power on Reinhardt would only play into His hands."
Though she did not name anyone, everyone knew what she meant.
Yellow Flower Cat's flattened ears perked up.
Its mouth closed.
It swallowed the "bean," which had already turned pale violet.
Gurgle, gurgle.
Zheng Qing clearly saw the flower cat's belly bulge once, accompanied by a loud sound of "intestinal movement" from within. Then it contentedly exhaled, releasing many red sparks of varying brightness.
Whoosh!
After exhaling, Yellow Flower Cat first looked up at the black Tribulation Cloud still circling endlessly above the rift.
