"Boom!"
The blue Magic Bullets became an ocean, engulfing the nameless Monster completely. Amid the collisions, the sheer sound of explosions became furious waves that roared ceaselessly, stirring up clouds of dust.
At first, the Monster tried to open its great maw, hoping to swallow this ocean with its sharklike jaws. But amid the seemingly endless Magic Bullets, the ripples spreading across its body grew larger and larger. Finally, just as it was about to reach Aoko, that mass of darkness collapsed along with a deafening explosion.
Its body, swollen from swallowing an enormous quantity of magical energy in one go, shattered instantly. Its center looked as though it had been cleaved in half at the waist.
Great quantities of pitch-black shadow scattered and fell like viscous sludge, tilting the surrounding scene toward hell once more.
The remaining half of the black shadow swiftly retracted all its teeth and withdrew into the suitcase even faster than it had attacked, closing the lid and somehow even fastening the clasp.
Seeing the Familiar she had pinned such high hopes on get instantly defeated the moment it entered the fray, Touko's eyelids twitched.
Though it was not as renowned as Beo, the nameless Monster inside this case was undoubtedly another remnant of the Age of Gods, an immortal monster from mythology that had been sealed away.
Even in its ordinary state, it could disregard modern Magecraft, and even a first-rate mage like Araya Souren would be eaten without any power to resist.
Ten years later, Touko had relied on it to nearly wipe out the team of Enforcers pursuing her, ultimately leaving them no choice but to treat her Sealing Designation as nonexistent.
After swallowing the Primal Runes, its magical energy was certainly no less than that of the highest-ranked legendary Noble Phantasms.
