At first, she thought it was an illusion, but the reality proved otherwise. At least, she wouldn't have been able to dodge that attack just now if it were earlier. Back then, if it weren't for the interference of that woman, she would have been taken out a long time ago.

It seemed like the young girl could sense the anxiety in the little girl's heart, and the young woman battling ArashikazeManami shouted out, "Rei."

"I got it." In response, the little girl gripped a peculiar-shaped pendant on her chest with her right hand.

Immediately after, a violent gale suddenly roared through the room.

Hiyori, who was the closest, squinted her eyes due to the fierce wind emanating from the little girl.

"This is..."

Although the anomaly was a bit far away, ArashikazeManami also sensed it. The power was something that could be felt even without looking.

Just as everyone was astonished by this scene,

*Boom!*

After a deafening explosion, a horrifyingly large hole appeared in the ground. At the same time, the little girl's figure disappeared again, followed by another gust of wind howling.

"This is..."

When Hiyori realized, she found the opponent closing in.

The speed was so fast that even her spiritual vision couldn't fully grasp it. And at this moment, she was still in the process of undoing the seal. Normally, she probably wouldn't be able to perceive it, but thinking about it was futile.

Because the opponent moved too swiftly, Hiyori instinctively placed her hands in front of her chest in a defensive stance.

Almost at the same time,

*Boom!*

After the earth-shattering sound, Hiyori's body flew backward.

*Boom!*

A big hole was knocked into the wall, and she flew directly into the hallway.

"Tsuchimikado, Miss."

Seeing this scene, ArashikazeManami had already forgotten about their battle and involuntarily shouted to the side.

And this became the biggest loophole. A skilled opponent with rich combat experience would not miss such a good opportunity.

"Little girl, looking around aimlessly is not a good habit, especially in a battle."

Immediately, the young woman's water blade attacked once again.

"Ah..."

Although she managed to avoid the direct hit at the last moment by creating a barrier of wind, the fierce impact caused ArashikazeManami to fall to the ground.

"Rei, hurry."

Instead of pursuing, she emphasized the importance of the goal to the little girl.

*Grind!*

The ground creaked as the little girl skidded, counteracting the powerful inertia caused by her previous high-speed movement. Once again, her figure disappeared, this time targeting the white-haired girl.

With no extra movements, just like before, the little girl, like a hurricane, instantly closed in on the white-haired girl and delivered a casual kick.

*Boom!*

An explosion rang out.

But...

"What..."

After seeing the scene before her clearly, the little girl exclaimed in surprise, "These are threads..."

Her kick had been intercepted by almost invisible thin threads, or to be precise, a network of thin lines.

"Tch... They arrived? Rei, retreat."

Realizing something, the young woman decisively ordered a retreat, completely disregarding the imminent success.

"Understood."

The little girl, without throwing a tantrum, obediently followed the young woman's command.

At the same time,

"What..."

The young woman found herself suddenly unable to move, as if something was binding her, and that thing seemed alive.
