Devouring Power
While Bai Mo and Morgan were accidentally transported to another dimension, on the shore of the Sea at the End, Beryl was setting up a massive Magecraft ritual. He used a knife to slit the throat of a captured fairy, and the blood flowed down into the magic circle.
"Phew, that should do it. Luckily, the land of Britain was once filled with the corpses of fairies, which is why this great Magecraft can be used. Now we just have to wait for good news from those two undead."
Although Melusine's strength far exceeded my expectations, Albion of this world drowned in the sea due to exhaustion. If the entire Orkney were to be submerged in the sea, that guy might not be able to escape in time.
"I hope they're not too fast, so at least Mash can still fall into my hands."
Beryl looked through his glasses at Orkney in the distance. Those Mors sent out to delay the enemy were no match for Melusine and were cut down almost instantly.
Having confirmed that the two remnant souls had worked, Beryl immediately activated the spell, and the next moment, a dark halo appeared in the sky above Orkney.
The halo was covered with intricate patterns that enveloped the entire Orkney, and then a pale white light shone upon it.
While cleaning up Mors in the Bell-Striking Hall, Melusine suddenly felt a wave of weakness wash over her. Upon closer inspection, she saw rays of light emanating from her body, and her magic power was also dissipating from her body like waves.
"What is this? It's draining my power and magic! No!"
Melusine was shocked. She turned around and saw that the remaining Chaldea members had no Magnetic Field Power. Faced with this thing, they could barely stand. In a little while, they would probably be whipped to death.
"Ritsuka! Oh no! We have to get out of there right now! If this continues, you'll be drained of your magic and life force!"
In the command room, Roman roared. At this moment, Ritsuka was completely exhausted, and even blood was flowing from her seven orifices. Melusine quickly came to the side of everyone, and without caring about anything else, she forced out her remaining strength to carry everyone away from here immediately.
"I need to bring Mash with me... she's up there."
At this moment, Ritsuka disregarded the other-dimensional trap and struggled to get Mash away from this extremely dangerous place. However, even her Servant Tristan was unable to help her. Under these circumstances, any further action by the Servant would only hasten the Master's death.
At the critical moment, Caster helped Ritsuka up. Looking at the remaining people, Melusine knew there was no time to lose, so she gritted her teeth and took the rest of them away.
She could understand this kind of resolve to risk one's life for someone important. The only thing she could do was to get the rest of the people away from here, then quickly find the caster, kill him, and stop the spell from continuing.
Ritsuka didn't hesitate at all, just like that girl had stood in front of her countless times before, without the slightest hesitation.
She forced a grateful smile at Caster beside her. Those few steps seemed so far away, but with a force that seemed to come from nowhere, they made it up.
Reach out and touch the crystal; Mash is inside.
Crack! The crystal shattered, and the pink-haired girl fell out. Seeing her unharmed, Ritsuka felt a sense of relief. At the same time, the bell rang. So, how should they leave now?
Before Ritsuka think further, a familiar large hand grabbed Ritsuka arm, and a warm current surged from there, instantly dispelling the weakness in her body.
Bai Mo activated the Asura Way, transferring his life force to them. He raised his head, looking at the enormous black ring in the sky and the rising sea wall around it.
"Is it absorbing life force and Magnetic Field Power?"
His body also began to show signs of power being absorbed. Bai Mo snorted coldly and activated the Ryougi Lataib. The invisible vortex in his lower abdomen swirled, forcibly pulling back the power that had been drawn away.
"Time to go."
Bai Mo grabbed Ritsuka and Caster, while Morgan swung out chains to bind Caster's waist, and another chain secured the large bell. Bai Mo, carrying them, disappeared into the ruins of Orkney like a dragon soaring through the clouds.
Seconds earlier, Beryl looked at his masterpiece and turned to Oberon, saying:
"How about that? Not bad, right? At this rate, my poor junior will probably be dried up in about thirty seconds. Plus, with her power being absorbed, Melusine probably won't be able to use her power or magic to cut through the water wall."
"What about that girl named Mash? Aren't you going to hold back something?"
Upon hearing this, Beryl smiled gently, "There's nothing we can do about it. A mission is a mission, and work is work. However, as that person also said, Mash's share of life ultimately belongs to me."
"End this life like this, and turn back to my side to welcome a new life, Mash."
Upon hearing Beryl's words, Oberon made a terrifying expression, then his gaze sharpened, and with a flick of his cloak, he vanished from the spot.
"Hey, why did you leave so suddenly? Seriously, it's rare for me to be willing to talk to someone about Mash." Beryl's tone was tinged with helplessness, but then, the hairs on his body stood on end.
It felt as if I were being watched by a venomous snake in the forest; my hair stood on end.
Turning around abruptly, she saw the blue arc of light that should have been blocked by the wall of water, swimming like a fish in the sea. Melusine, who shouldn't be in contact with seawater, was now swimming freely within it!
"Huh? What's going on? This doesn't make sense!"
Less than a second after the initial shock, Melusine burst out of the black halo, whipped her tail to land everyone on the grass, then turned her spear and transformed into a streak of light, thrusting forward.
Its direction... is precisely where Beryl is located.
At that moment, Beryl looked as if he had seen a ghost.
What do you mean, "Melusine, who should have drowned upon touching the seawater, is now coming after me?!"
"Damn it, don't come any closer!"
Beryl exclaimed in surprise as she opened her black lens, revealing a dark portal behind her. The portal formed in less than a second, but for Melusine, it was too slow.
[Unknown, pristine lake scenery]
"Caw!" Beryl jumped backward with all his might, but the azure light had already fallen on him.
The lake shimmered, and swords flashed.
In a hidden place beneath Britain, in the safe house Beryl had chosen, a portal opened, and then a pile of things, resembling freshly chopped offal, was dumped in like a bucket of dirty water.
With a thud, a full one hundred and seven pieces of flesh, mixed with Beryl's bones and organs, were dumped onto the cold metal floor like an overturned swill bucket.
