It was too quiet. Even the sound of the wind blowing seemed incredibly piercing. The surrounding insects seemed to have fallen silent due to the pressure. The young girl vigilantly observed her surroundings using magical energy. At this moment, a contradictory mass of magical energy faintly emerged directly in front of the girl.
Pitch-black magical energy wrapped around a green suit. There was a smile on his face, but that smile looked bizarre no matter how one looked at it.
"Finally found you, Little Miss. May I ask if you could come with us? Of course, this is not a question."
Since they were prepared to be enemies of the world, how could they let go of information regarding anyone who saved the world? Especially Aslan, who had been active for several years. To prevent that legendary blacksmith from exerting his full power, they had to target those around him. If they captured this little girl before him, that legendary blacksmith would surely have a very "delightful" expression.
Just thinking about it, this is such a pleasant development. Hahahaha, cough cough!!
However, to avoid the legendary blacksmith fighting to the death in the end, they couldn't harm the girl before them too much. In any case, if those two dragons went berserk, they probably wouldn't last long either. Especially before retrieving that body, their strength would likely struggle to clash with the full power of those two dragons.
With the dragon blood in Aslan's body becoming increasingly dense, there was no issue in regarding Aslan as a dragon.
Looking at this person who suddenly appeared, Sakura directly activated her belt. Equipment resembling Kamen Rider armor covered her body. Then, she grabbed the shawl on her body, transforming it into a blade. She swung it forward. Like a blade, it reflected light and sliced through the air.
A cold glint sliced the existence in the green suit directly in two. However, it didn't feel like it hit a solid body. Although her equipment was incredibly sharp, there would still be some resistance when cutting through a physical object. This was a sensory feedback specially left in, to prevent her from unknowingly cutting a phantom.
After all, if she destroyed a phantom but thought the enemy was eliminated, it would only lead to the enemy escaping or her being counter-killed. Most importantly, in battle, tactile feedback is very important. The feeling of a weightless attack is vastly different from the feeling of hitting an enemy.
Sure enough, the man wearing the green suit and the gentleman's hat bowed slightly. Black magical energy constantly emanated from the severed part of his body, which then gradually healed, as if his body itself was composed of magical energy.
But that was not the case. Under the effect of her equipment, Sakura's eyes could still detect whether the existence before her was synthesized from magical energy or flesh. The place she had cut with her weapon was indeed covered by magical energy, but the other parts of that existence's body were undeniably just ordinary flesh and blood.
Try another cut!
Sakura swung the weapon in her hand. The silk that was originally like a blade transformed into the shape of several awls. When the two sides combined, it formed a clamp that could close tightly without a gap. With the combined force of her hands swinging left and right, this clamp snapped quickly toward the mysterious person. Then, it closed together with powerful impact, scattering a patch of black magical energy.
Next, Sakura rubbed her equipment back and forth, making the entire equipment ravage the existence in the center like a file.
The equipment quickly retracted backward. The equipment on Sakura's face began to scan the situation before her more actively. At the same time, this portion of data was transmitted to Shinji's computer. However, Sakura was unaware of this. This was a small mechanism Shinji left behind because he was worried about and cared for his sister as a brother.
It was so that if his sister encountered a strong enemy she couldn't handle, he could provide remote support. To some extent, Shinji shared the same thought as Morgan: as a brother, he didn't need a reason to protect his sister. Sneaking in such an instrument wasn't a problem, right?
Hearing the alarm from his computer, Shinji was actually startled. Only when the helmet sensed the user's lack of understanding in their heart and mind would it transmit more detailed data to Shinji.
In Sakura's vision, the existence that should have been ground to dregs by her attack was slowly gathering again via magical energy. Subsequently, the entire body returned from magical energy to the appearance of flesh. This was an existence completely different from the composition of a Servant.
Although a Servant's body appeared to get injured and bleed, its essence was still magical energy. So no matter how much they were injured or bled, they were still perceived as magical energy. But the guy before her was undeniably transforming from magical energy into living flesh. Although that body carried chaos and contradiction, it was undeniably full of the power of life.
It was like creating a living existence from the void. It was a great feat that only gods from the Age of Gods seemed capable of.
She was indeed a magus living in the modern era and had not witnessed with her own eyes what the scenery of that distant past was like. However, she had an elder who frequently traveled across worlds and eras. Compared to others, it was easier for her to learn things that ordinary magi could not know.
For example, what kind of abilities and great feats gods possessed, or how powerful the magical beasts of the distant past were. Her elder could even produce a few videos as evidence. Moreover, her elder was counted as one of those magical and powerful existences.
Artificial gods. How many existences living in the Age of Gods could achieve this?
Therefore, regarding the situation before her, she was one of the people most qualified to comment. This man before her—let's tentatively call him a man, as it was still unknown whether he counted as human—possessed a body transformation ability that definitely did not belong to a magus. Even a magus from the Age of Gods would find it difficult to achieve this...
No, the concept of 'magus' didn't exist in the Age of Gods; there were only witches and shamans...
This was much more difficult than the "living person disappearance" magic trick.
Under these circumstances, Sakura didn't know if she should continue attacking. However, similarly, the existence with the smile on his face—tentatively called a man—also felt a sigh of relief in his heart.
