Chapter 370

The entire space was extremely dim, with almost no light visible, yet Nagi Sanzenin could imagine that Maria's condition at this moment must be dire.

A burst of firelight suddenly appeared in the dark space, illuminating the faces of Maria and Nagi Sanzenin.

Another person appeared in the cramped, dark space.

The newcomer saw at a glance that Maria had reached her limit; he immediately grabbed Maria with one hand and seized Nagi Sanzenin with the other, then vanished from this space along with a flash of firelight.

This space, which had lost the support of elemental power, was crushed in an instant.

Above Bingshan, the firelight carried the three people out of danger.

"Haa..."

Ren Amamiya, who had brought Nagi Sanzenin and Maria out of danger, slowly exhaled.

Fortunately, I came first to check on the Sanzenin family and Young Lady Kaguya Sigong; otherwise, they truly would not have lasted half a minute.

Ren Amamiya once again felt grateful for his own intuition.

"Mmm..."

The sobbing sound brought Ren Amamiya back to his senses; he carefully stabilized Young Lady Maria, whom his right hand was holding, letting her lean against him. He used the Soul-Soothing Master's ability to first stabilize her emotions, then infused some spiritual energy into her body to help restore some of her withered elemental power.

As spiritual energy was infused, the Vision began to regain its radiance, and elemental power started to be converted bit by bit, beginning to irrigate Maria's withered body once more.

"Haa~"

Maria's breathing gradually became steady, and her complexion regained some color.

Her eyes were already able to open; seeing Ren Amamiya's magnified face, she was the first to sigh with relief.

"It seems we waited in time."

"Mm."

"You've worked hard. How did it feel to drain the Vision?"

Maria recalled the sensation of constantly draining the Vision to draw out elemental power just now; that unpleasant memory immediately reflected on her face.

"Extremely terrible."

"It was like constantly squeezing water out of a basin that had no water left, a feeling where even the basin itself seemed to want to melt away."

"Well, any kind of power is drained this way."

Ren Amamiya chuckled lightly; he understood Maria's feeling all too well. Spiritual energy is drained the same way, and even more so than elemental power.

Perhaps because of that chuckle, Maria was also stirred, and a faint smile appeared on her face.

Afterwards, Maria slowly turned her gaze, looking at this area now covered in ice and snow.

"Young Lady Kaguya Sigong really went too far."

Ren Amamiya did not think it was quite too far.

"After all, I told her to release it freely."

"On one hand, this was to test how much power Sakurazaka's student's extra-dimensional space could withstand; on the other hand, it was to let Kaguya Sigong release all her power, so she could clearly understand the limits of her abilities at this stage."

Yet, he then felt slightly troubled.

"However, I should have reminded her to release it preferably not on the island itself, but on the edge of the island, in the area near the sea."

"Even if a situation like this occurred there, it would have suffered less impact, not like the situation now."

After resting for a short while, Ren Amamiya looked at Nagi Sanzenin, who had also caught her breath.

"Sanzenin, are you alright?"

"I'm fine; it was always... Maria holding it up."

Seeing her lips bitten down with slight force, Ren Amamiya could sense her powerlessness.

He smiled and placed his hand on top of Sanzenin's head.

"Young Lady Maria is fine; there is no need to blame yourself for your powerlessness."

"Just grow stronger gradually in the future."

"... Mm."

Reaching out to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, Nagi Sanzenin felt somewhat better in her heart.
