Chapter 725: Reine's Return

"Destruction Scythe!"

In the sky, a massive scythe suddenly manifested, sweeping horizontally toward a gigantic aerial warship.

Around the aerial warship, a massive barrier suddenly appeared, attempting to block this lethal scythe. However, in front of the Destruction Scythe, the barrier formed by the Territory was like a mere facade, easily torn into shreds.

Having lost the protection of the Territory, the massive aerial warship was like an oversized egg in front of the Destruction Scythe, easily cracked open.

"This should be the last aerial warship, right?" Liuli opened her hand, and the Destruction Scythe appeared in her grasp once again.

In the sky, the battle against the DEM company had basically reached its end. With terrifying existences like the Three Phantom Gods and Liuli, even though the DEM company's aerial warships possessed Spirit power protection, they were still easily crushed.

"That's right, the battle on our side has ended as well!" Tokisaki Kurumi appeared before Liuli, clutching a woman.

This woman was none other than the supreme commander of this DEM company wizard unit, a young girl named Artemisia.

Now, this girl's body was bound by strands of shadow, her eyes staring fixedly at Tokisaki Kurumi, as if she wished to kill her with her gaze alone.

"Hmm, a very good look, though it's being used in the wrong place." Liuli looked at the captured girl and nodded. "Judging by her appearance, it seems there is a miniature Realizer inside her brain, suppressing part of her memory!"

"I'm not clear on that, but I could sense that this person possessed an aura different from the DEM company's wizards, so I captured her for the time being. As for how to handle her in the end, let's leave that to Lingyun," Tokisaki Kurumi said.

"Sister Liuli, Sister Kurumi, our mission on this side is finished too!" Yoshino appeared beside the two, riding a large Rabbit.

"Hmph, with me on the scene, what could those pieces of junk possibly amount to!" Beside Yoshino, Natsumi, who was reaching up to hold onto her witch's hat, said tsundere-ly.

Tokisaki Kurumi looked out; a large number of DEM company robot units had been completely frozen. This freezing was no ordinary ice; it was a process that thoroughly froze those robots at an extremely low temperature, while simultaneously using the cold to destroy their internal structures. If one were to smash these ice blocks now, the robots frozen within would also turn into a pile of fragments.

Beside these ice sculptures lay a pile of cute rag dolls; needless to say, this was definitely Natsumi's handiwork. After undergoing Liuli's special training, her Fake Witch had become extremely powerful. Under her full-force execution, these robot units turned into rag dolls would never be able to change back.

On the other side, the Spirits beside Itsuka Shido had also put away their Spirit Dresses. The battle had ended, and the DEM company's forces had been completely wiped out. The only survivor left was the wizard captured by Tokisaki Kurumi.

However, this was not the end of the battle, because what would determine the final outcome of this conflict was the battlefield on Lingyun's side. If Lingyun lost, they could hardly imagine how they would deal with Westcott, who possessed power equal to the Origin Spirit.

"Rest assured, Lingyun will not lose!" Looking at Itsuka Kotori's worried face, Liuli spoke to comfort her. "Let alone Westcott, even if Takamiya Mio and Westcott joined forces, they would not be Lingyun's match."

"That's right, Big Brother will absolutely not lose!" Tina, who was on the side, also nodded forcefully. In her impression, there had never been anyone Lingyun could not contend with.

"You all..." Looking at the confident group, Itsuka Kotori could only sigh helplessly, then she too began to look up at the sky. "What I'm more worried about now is that idiot Itsuka Shido, and what his situation is like."

"With Lingyun's current strength, even if Takamiya Mio wanted to make a move on Itsuka Shido, he would be able to protect him completely unscathed," Liuli said confidently.

Suddenly, the sky began to change, and a massive Taiji Diagram appeared in the heavens.

"Is this... the Boundary created by Lingyun?" Looking at that massive Taiji Diagram, Itsuka Kotori's pupils constricted.

"Crack, crack..."

Countless cracks suddenly appeared on the Taiji Diagram, and then one corner of the black section began to collapse, eventually disappearing completely into the air. A figure appeared in the sky.

Seeing that figure, Itsuka Kotori let out a soft breath; the person floating in the sky was none other than Lingyun.

"Lingyun, is the battle over?" Tokisaki Kurumi suddenly popped out from behind Lingyun.

Looking at the girl on his back, Lingyun chuckled: "That's right, the battle is over. At the same time, I've prepared a gift for you; I think you'll definitely like it!"

"A gift? What kind of gift? Could it be..." Tokisaki Kurumi's eyes darted around, and a hint of joy appeared on her face.

"Hmm." Lingyun nodded, then looked toward the white section of the Taiji Diagram. Specks of light drifted out from the white world, turning into light particles that vanished into the air. As these light particles dissipated, the Spirits present simultaneously felt a heaviness in their hearts, as if something very important had left them forever.

"Lingyun, this is?" Tokisaki Kurumi asked Lingyun, clutching her chest, feeling somewhat stifled.

"That she would make such a choice in the end is indeed beyond my expectations!" Lingyun said.

"You mean, the Origin Spirit Takamiya Mio is dead?" A hint of astonishment appeared on Tokisaki Kurumi's face.

As the light particles dissipated, the white world also began to dissipate, eventually disappearing completely, and Itsuka Shido's form appeared in mid-air as well.

Itsuka Kotori looked at Itsuka Shido in the sky and couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. Judging by his expression now, other than being a bit dejected, he hadn't suffered any injuries. But when her gaze fell beside Itsuka Shido, her pupils constricted. The person beside Itsuka Shido was none other than Takamiya Mio!

"Tohka, Kotori, I'm back!" Itsuka Shido, descending from the sky, greeted the two with a smile.

"Shido, how is this woman by your side?" Yatogami Tohka, on the other hand, was a bit thick-headed; she rushed directly in front of Itsuka Shido and asked with a look of indignation.

"Th-this, it's a bit hard to explain!" Itsuka Shido scratched his head.

"Miss Tohka, you're still the same as ever." Murasame Reine stepped forward and said to Yatogami Tohka with a smile.

"Th-this tone, are you... Reine?" Itsuka Kotori looked at the Murasame Reine in front of her, her voice trembling slightly.

"That's right, it's me! I am Murasame Reine, and only Murasame Reine!" Reine nodded with a smile and bowed to Itsuka Kotori. "I'm back, Commander!"

"Eh, Reine, where is that little bear of yours?" Although Itsuka Kotori was somewhat emotional, she still noticed the difference between Reine and Mio; it seemed there was one little bear missing from her Spirit Dress.

"That little bear did not belong to me; it has now returned to its owner," Murasame Reine said.

"Yui, what about the things I asked you to prepare?" On the other side, Lingyun turned his gaze toward Yui, who had quietly appeared beside him, and spoke softly.

"Papa, it's right here!" Yui smiled at Lingyun and opened her hands; in her palms, a beautiful flower was emitting twinkling specks of light.
