"Is it really okay? You are less than a third of your previous size."

Takagi Akira once again tried to release the Absolute Ice Magic, and Mashu asked with some concern.

In response to Mashu's worries, Takagi Akira gave her a reassuring look.

"It's no problem, don't worry, Mashu. It won't take much mana to simply freeze Olga Marie unless it has a killing effect. By the way, I'll leave it to you to defend against the falling rocks from above when I release the magic."

After saying that, Takagi Akira's body collapsed again. After Olga Marie was frozen, Takagi Akira, whose body had shrunk further, appeared next to Ritsuka and Mashu.

At the moment when Gao Muming put up the barrier again, the space completely collapsed. Looking at the Demon Pillar that was still frozen in ice not far away in the void, Gao Muming felt a bad premonition in his heart for some reason.

"I have a bad feeling that Mashu is ready to release her Noble Phantasm at any moment."

"Something went wrong."

"I don't know, but I have a bad feeling."

The next moment after Gao Muming finished speaking, a shrill alarm sounded through Romani's shadow and reached the ears of Gao Muming and others.

Just when a few people were still confused, Romani's frightened voice rang out.

"Too bad! Monitoring shows that there are many spiritual reactions that are no less powerful than Leif's transformation, trying to manifest in the void where you are! Be careful, I will speed up..."

After hearing what Romani said, Takagi Akira was also confused.

"What's going on? Are the spiritual bases of multiple demon pillars trying to manifest?"

Gao Muming suddenly thought of something and lowered his head feeling guilty.

"Wait, I remember that according to some plots Leif mentioned that he had his own things to do after dealing with the singularity in Fuyuki City. I wanted to freeze him completely to delay his next action."

"After all, if we really kill the Demon Pillar that Leif has transformed into, he can be resurrected without any side effects due to the characteristics of the Demon Pillar. Freezing it directly can more effectively stop the opponent's actions."

"The result was actually different from what I expected, causing many demon pillars to prepare to descend... Now it seems that my action was too effective. Now it is no different from poking a demon pillar's nest."

Thinking of this, Gao Muming couldn't help but grit his teeth.

"I can still tell which is easier, facing one Demon Pillar or facing a group of Demon Pillars. Well... I can only try to let Leif go first, so that he can do his own thing later, and see if this can persuade the other Demon Pillars to retreat."

"There are already several Demon Pillars here, so one more won't make a difference. Besides, after we recover our magic power and cooperate with Mashu to do our best to defend, we should be able to hold out until Romani and the others complete the spirit particle transfer even if we face the siege of multiple Demon Pillars."

Thinking of this, Gao Muming took action. As the absolutely icy magic power on the Demon Pillar was recovered, the barrier protecting several people in the void became stronger and stronger with the return of the magic power.

The moment Gao Muming recovered all his magic power, the Demon Pillar Flauros, who had regained his freedom, gathered magic power again, and launched an attack with condensed magic power that was several times stronger than the one that was interrupted by Gao Muming before, towards Gao Muming and others again.

Just before the attack was about to land on Gao Muming's barrier, Romani's words "Ready, start moving" were like the sound of nature, and in an instant the figures of Gao Muming and others disappeared into the void.

The attack of the Demon Pillar did not miss, and unfortunately hit another Demon Pillar that had just appeared behind Gao Muming and others.

"Flauros, not only are you incompetent, you even tried to launch a sneak attack!!"

He only had time to leave these words in the void before the Demon Pillar that had just appeared was sent back by Flauros to be reborn.

On the other side, he confirmed that Ritsuka and Mashu who were unconscious, Fufu who was licking Mashu's cheek with some concern, and Olga Marie who was frozen into an ice sculpture by herself were all behind him.

Gao Muming breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the ruins around him with curiosity, in order to divert his attention from the notification sound of the chat group system reconnecting that was echoing in his mind.

Just as Gao Muming was looking around, the door of the control room opened with a noise, and then Romani hurried into the control room.

After checking and confirming that Mashu and Ritsuka were just unconscious and not dead, Romani breathed a sigh of relief.

"Fortunately, he just fainted and his life is not in danger."

Romani, who was visibly relaxed, waved to the Chaldean staff who followed him in.

"Hurry up, all of you, help me get Mashu and Ritsuka to the infirmary. I'll do some checks on them. After all, Ritsuka and Mashu underwent a soul transfer without the protection of a basket in an extremely dangerous situation. They might have problems that can't be seen on the surface."

After directing everyone to send Ritsuka and Mashu to the infirmary, Romani slowly stood up and bowed deeply to Takagi Akira who was standing beside him.

"Mr. Takagi Akira, thank you very much for your help. If it weren't for you, not to mention the director, even Ritsuka and Mashu would not be able to hold on in the void until we complete the preparations for the soul particle transfer."

Hearing Romani say this, Gao Muming, knowing that he almost messed up the situation, blushed and waved his hands quickly.

"No, Mr. Romani, you're exaggerating. Although it's not nice to say this, from my feeling, if I wasn't there, Mashu and Ritsuka would be fine."

Romani, who thought that Takagi Akira was just being modest, quickly spoke up.

"Don't be so modest. From the data I've monitored, there's no chance that Mashu and Ritsuka will survive if they hastily fight under the current circumstances."

Knowing that Romani was thinking the wrong thing, Takagi Akira shook his head.

"If I hadn't suddenly taken action to force Leif to reveal his true form, the situation wouldn't have developed into what we encountered before."

Just when Romani was about to say something about Gao Muming's remarks, Gao Muming raised his hand and motioned for Romani to wait a moment.

"Now that I have lost my physical body and my body is composed of magic, I can even faintly sense a person's emotions through magic. The monster disguised as Leif has very complicated feelings for Mashu."

"Unlike Leif's contempt for Ritsuka and his 'disgust' for Olga Marie, Leif's feelings towards Mashu are more of a kind of pity..."

Having said that, Gao Muming deliberately paused for a moment, observed the somewhat complicated expression of Romani opposite him, and then continued speaking.

"So based on the attitude that guy showed when he appeared, if it weren't for me being an 'exception', Leif would have let them both go out of contempt for Ritsuka and pity for Mashu."
