Chapter 369

"Puff, puff, puff!"

Ayazawa Sakuya, having broken free from the snowdrift, spat out the dust that had blown into her mouth.

"What's going on?"

Looking up, she saw the entire island covered by a layer of Bingshan.

"Holy crap... did a Bingshan just fall down?"

Ayazawa Sakuya's face went blank with shock.

The impact of this Bingshan had made the whole island seem as if it had sunk; if not for the smoke still rising from the volcano crater in the distance, she would have thought even the crater itself had been destroyed.

As her chaotic mind calmed down slightly, Ayazawa Sakuya looked at the scene before her and already understood the situation.

"Something must have happened on Kaguya Sigong's side again."

"No, it's probably not a problem on Kaguya Sigong's side, but with her maid."

Suzuki Sonoko, who had also climbed out of the snowdrift, shook her head slightly.

"Chika, Kaguya Sigong, and her maid all went to another dimension."

"This kind of Bingshan falling must mean something went wrong in that other dimension. I guess her maid couldn't handle the surge of power Kaguya Sigong unleashed there."

Ayazawa Sakuya nodded in understanding.

"That's quite likely."

"Spatial abilities are very convenient, but there must be a limit to what they can bear."

The ability of the Door-Door Fruit is very special, but who knows if there is a limit to this specialness?

At least now we know that this limit truly exists.

"Being able to test it is a good thing; at least we won't fall into this trap in the future."

"..."

Looking at the Bingshan covering the entire island, Ayazawa Sakuya felt something was off.

Suddenly, she realized.

"Nagi Sanzenin and Maria are still on the island!?"

Her eyes widened; she had been so focused on those matters that she had completely forgotten about Nagi Sanzenin and Maria.

"And Ran and Ren Amamiya too!"

Tsunomiya Izumi, who had been silent all along, showed no sign of panic.

"Don't worry."

Tsunomiya Izumi's usual gentle voice naturally calmed everyone down.

"My lord Ren Amamiya would never leave such a situation unattended."

"Besides, Young Lady Maria's shield can handle this situation; Nagi Sanzenin will definitely be fine."

"We just need to wait outside."

Tsunomiya Izumi's gentle, calm voice influenced the still-anxious Ayazawa Sakuya and Suzuki Sonoko, easing the worry on their faces.

Indeed, the situation before them was quite urgent.

But the people they knew would never just sit and wait to be destroyed.

They must have already made preparations to face this crisis.

At most, it's just a bit troublesome.

In fact, that is exactly the case.

In a dark area beneath the Bingshan, Maria struggled to construct a space capable of resisting the crushing pressure using her rock element.

"Huff... huff..."

Constantly draining her remaining, scarce elemental power, Maria's body has already been soaked with sweat.

But all she could do now was hold on a little longer.

She knew Mr. Ren Amamiya would surely come looking for them.

"Maria..."
