"Awooo~"
Bound by the golden chains, the mutant summoning beast grew increasingly berserk. Having never received such treatment before, it began struggling desperately, seemingly possessed of inexhaustible strength.
This was, after all, Uzumaki Honoka's first time unlocking her hidden power. As time passed, she gradually began to struggle to hold on.
