*BANG!*
A bluish-green magic cannon exploded on the surface of Berserker's body. The power of the magic cannon, which could even pierce through tall buildings, normally no one could withstand without being even slightly injured. But seeing Pseudo-Heracles once again charge out of the smoke and swing his iron fist towards him—
"Not injured... the magic cannon is no longer effective."
Quickly retreating to avoid the attack, Naoki frowned.
It had been five minutes since he and Pseudo-Heracles began fighting, and in those five minutes, besides the initial two times, he had already killed Pseudo-Heracles three times.
According to Naoki's plan, the four Elemental Spirits could each kill him once, then use his magic cannon and the Limited Deployment of the Arthur Class Card to kill him two more times. After defeating him six times, let Gray use Add with Liberation, or Naoki himself borrow Arcueid's power to draw down the moon and erase the remaining six lives.
And now, the task of the four Elemental Spirits and the magic cannon was complete.
'Seven times left—'
Naoki felt for the Class Card in his pocket. Before he could take it out to use, he suddenly felt like something kicked him from inside his body.
Don't use it!
Such a thought suddenly appeared in Naoki's mind.
'Sajyou Manaka! Don't cause trouble at a time like this!'
[Don't use it no matter what! I won't allow you to keep taking advantage of the Prince's power! If you dare use it, I will—]
"Okay, okay, okay, no need to use it, right?"
After all, he was in the middle of a fight, against Heracles, even if it was just a Shadow Servant. Naoki couldn't be so carefree as to keep arguing with Manaka.
*RUMBLE!*
The tremor accompanying Pseudo-Heracles' charge came once again. Because the ceiling couldn't withstand Pseudo-Heracles' rampage at all, their battlefield had already moved from the rooftop to inside the building. Although there were many obstacles, in the face of this terrifying Berserker—
*CRACK!*
The truly enraged Pseudo-Heracles directly destroyed all the pillars between them with one charge, then swung his fist downwards towards Naoki!
Another floor shattered into pieces!
Riding the wind upwards, dozens of magic formulas appeared on his arm. Dense mana gathered in his arm. Aiming at Pseudo-Heracles below, Naoki directly fired the magic cannon he had prepared!
Although the damage was gone, the destructive power was real!
Let him be directly thrown to the first floor!
*BOOM!* *BOOM!* *BOOM!*
The sound of floors shattering in succession echoed. Naoki remembered this building was about twelve stories high. Judging from the number of sounds, he should have been directly thrown to the first or second floor.
If that was the case, it might take about ten seconds to get back up?
Riding the wind towards the rooftop, Naoki looked at the Red Moon mark on the back of his hand: "Separated by a parallel world, I don't know if I can still borrow Arcueid's power... let's just try."
Summoning Magecraft!
*TRING!*
As the Magecraft activated, a red light instantly ignited from the mark. Like a child who had been waiting for several days and finally the picnic day arrived and excitedly ran out of the house, the light that radiated out instantly grew until it could swallow Naoki's entire body.
And as his eyes were swallowed by this light, Naoki faintly saw a figure appear before him.
It was Arcueid.
"It's been a long time, Naoki, what have you been doing?"
With her hands on her hips, Arcueid looked at Naoki with an unhappy face, "I told you, if you encounter someone you can't defeat, just use my power. Why have you been dragging things out? What were you thinking?"
Naoki rubbed his eyes, looking at Arcueid with some disbelief: "You... you're Arcueid?"
"Yes, why?"
"Why are you here? Weren't you supposed to have returned to the Millennium Castle?"
A ghost? Or a form of consciousness?
Arcueid nodded: "Hmm, I did return to the Millennium Castle, and I was indeed asleep, but sleeping all the time is boring. I didn't feel this way before, but after returning this time, I feel a bit bored. So I connected my consciousness to your consciousness realm through a portion of the power I gave you, sharing your perspective."
"Although I can only speak to you like this when you use my power, usually I can only see, basically like watching television."
"You can even do something like that? Even though I'm in another parallel world."
"There will indeed be a little influence, but it's okay, at most the signal will be a bit bad." Arcueid laughed, "Instead of that—it's finally my turn to appear, right? Don't hesitate, just use my power as you like, Naoki!"
"Then I won't hesitate."
Chuckling softly, Naoki clenched the hand with the Red Moon tattoo. The red light that enveloped his entire body instantly exploded. Long golden hair that had somehow reached his waist fluttered in the wind along with the flying light.
'I can feel it...'
Was it because of the night time? His body felt extremely invigorated, power continuously flowing from within. The unprecedented feeling of comfort made Naoki unconsciously want to shout, and even this power that filled his entire body made him feel omnipotent.
In fact, it was so.
[Naoki, how does my power feel?]
Arcueid's voice entered his mind.
[Ah yes, because there was a voice constantly shouting inside your body, I felt a bit disturbed, so I blocked it. Now the authority within your body is higher.]
"Is my body a server? And moreover, is it too full?"
Manaka, Arcueid, plus Merlin's Magecraft mark... Naoki felt like he was a public bus.
But, this power of Arcueid...
"A feeling I've never experienced before, is this the world you are in, Arcueid?"
[Your physical strength is now the same as mine, and you can also use Conceptual Armament. Although there will be some limitations, it doesn't matter.]
Meaning, he could basically manifest Arcueid's power one hundred percent?
Naoki laughed: "What a truly amazing feeling."
[Right, right! Hehehe!]
Arcueid's cheerful laughter echoed in his mind.
And just at that moment—
*RUMBLE!*
Continuous tremors were felt from below his feet. It was Pseudo-Heracles, he should be climbing up layer by layer.
The corner of Naoki's lips lifted: "Then let's try that... is it okay, Arcueid?"
[Um! It's up to you, after all, you're the one using my power now]
Then—
Raising his right hand and pointing towards the sky, imagining in his mind the shadow that was almost one with Arcueid's power itself, Naoki opened his eyes, which had turned golden, and looked down, uttering a majestic voice like a command.
"Moon Fall."
As the voice fell. In the sky of the Mirror World, a huge crack suddenly opened, then—
*CRACK!*
The mirror curtain shattered.
A round red moon fell like divine punishment.
