"Fake?"
The Rapunzel Witch was extremely astonished.
This Strange Tale came from the Land of the Houyhnhnms; its appearance was actually an accident.
After all, the Rapunzel Witch never expected her daughter's blind date event would manage to invite a kingdom's Prince.
The problem was, she never intended to marry off her daughter.
The reason she set this up was merely to use the pretense that Princess Rapunzel's husband must be a strong person to recruit a batch of powerful Strange Tales to contribute when the Rapunzel Territory was promoted to the Rapunzel Kingdom.
As for afterward... once the Rapunzel Territory was promoted to the Rapunzel Kingdom, who the hell would marry Princess Rapunzel off to you all?
Even if there was a marriage, it would be the other way around.
The Rapunzel Witch had already prepared a handful of water from the Mother-Child River. You Strange Tales could perfectly well be the ones giving birth to little Strange Tales and marrying Princess Rapunzel!
And so it was.
Even before Kisaragi Rin arrived, the atmosphere inside the Round Tower was already tense.
Even upon noticing Kisaragi Rin's gaze, the Rapunzel Witch merely cut it off and casually threw out a Cursed Kill, having no time to deal with him further.
Now, you're saying this guy is lying?
The Rapunzel Witch's heart sank. Judging by the current situation, it would be a good thing if this Houyhnhnms wasn't lying, as she could then find a way to escape with Lèpèi.
She only hoped that this group of sudden Dragon Crossing the River newcomers could be deterred by the Land of the Houyhnhnms.
At this moment, Kisaragi Rin waved his hand again.
The Rapunzel Witch's heart instantly tightened. Just as these Strange Tales snapped out of their confusion, thinking this guy would also be casually crushed like a toad, Busujima Saeko released the mind control on this Houyhnhnms. After pondering for a moment, the radiance of Moon Breathing erupted from her fingertips again.
Irregularly moving crescent-shaped sword energy blossomed inside the Houyhnhnms's horse face. After being cut into a thousand pieces, all the flesh on its face had vanished, leaving only the skeleton and a faint trace of consciousness remaining in the ghostly light of its eyes. It could no longer speak arrogantly as it did before.
The entire venue fell silent. Even Bond, who had already pushed Little Red Riding Hood toward Kisaragi Rin, was trembling. Through Precognition, it had vaguely seen what the Strange Tales Association would do next.
Miss Red took out a Magic Mirror.
Unlike the ordinary mirror surface from before, it now had an agile ghostly eye.
This Magic Mirror had great potential. Last night, Kisaragi Rin had given it the [Nakime's Single Eye].
The Magic Mirror successfully absorbed it.
The mirror surface distorted, and a picture appeared, like an old CRT television needing an antenna to receive a signal.
It was a bird's-eye view. The screen showed groups upon groups of Houyhnhnms, surrounded by numerous abnormal species slaves who had been distorted into monkeys.
It was precisely the Land of the Houyhnhnms from Gulliver's Travels!
Kisaragi Rin said gently:
"I apologize for interrupting your If You Are Not Sincere, Do Not Disturb event.
Now, let me politely introduce myself.
I am the President of the Strange Tales Association, and my purpose here is to subdue you all.
Of course, just like that toad, I don't expect every Strange Tale here to have a rational brain, so let's watch a short film.
I hope that after watching this short film, everyone can work together to build a beautiful Strange Tales Association."
"Short film?" The Rapunzel Witch found it hard to understand.
But the next moment, they understood.
Medea picked up the Prelati's Spellbook.
The magic power of the Third Magic continuously poured into the Prelati's Spellbook's large mouth, like a Perpetual Motion Machine.
With her "magic" attainments, and utilizing the summoning essence of the Prelati's Spellbook, using only the location coordinates of the Land of the Houyhnhnms locked onto by the Magic Mirror, Medea directly opened a summoning channel between the two places!
"Let's go."
"How do we do this?"
"The little Strange Tales back home need nurturing, so let's refine all these Houyhnhnms."
Medea, Esdeath, and Anna stepped directly into the channel with smiles.
Yahoos?
This seemed to be the language of the race that curses people.
The Strange Tales present were still stunned, but three figures had already appeared in the sky above the Land of the Houyhnhnms shown in the Magic Mirror.
At this moment, they understood!
"Lunatics."
The Rapunzel Witch couldn't help but voice her thoughts.
Even if Little Ponyville was fake, the Land of the Houyhnhnms was a genuine Level Three Kingdom, far beyond the power of the Rapunzel Territory.
You can crush the Rapunzel Territory, but can you really send three people to defeat the Land of the Houyhnhnms?
The Rapunzel Witch couldn't believe it, yet her eyes never left the Magic Mirror's screen, and she didn't even notice when Princess Rapunzel slipped out of the Round Tower.
The dying Houyhnhnms wanted to laugh maniacally but couldn't make a sound. Its vicious gaze only anticipated that this so-called Strange Tales Association would be immediately crushed and taken as slaves.
The next moment, the scene moved.
The three made no attempt to conceal their arrival, and the experts of the Land of the Houyhnhnms arrived in an instant!
Then, it was harvested by a Death Scythe, smashing onto the ground like a locust, devoid of life!
...Over at the Land of the Houyhnhnms.
In Gulliver's Travels, The horses of the Land of the Houyhnhnms possessed human intelligence, while humans became the beasts "Yahoos."
In this Strange Tale Fairy Tale World.
The Land of the Houyhnhnms detests all humanoid creatures, believing all Yahoos must only be slaves. Therefore, the Strange Tales of the Land of the Houyhnhnms are essentially all of the Houyhnhnms race.
In that case, refine them!
The [Demonic Hell Sanctuary] floated before her, and Medea was weaving Grand Sorcery using this Equipment as the core!
She intended to use sorcery to cover tens of thousands of square kilometers of the Land of the Houyhnhnms's land, packaging all the creatures in the kingdom and stuffing them into the space within the Demonic Hell Sanctuary.
The entire Houyhnhnms race would be refined into Ability Seeds and pure Bizarre Tale Origin, like medicinal pills that could be continuously consumed to save Caren and the other Strange Tales a vast amount of time accumulation for their power growth.
Dark red beams of sorcery pierced through the territory, then layered themselves into a birdcage.
Even powerful Strange Tales would instantly dissolve if they merely grazed this magic power.
Because all this magic power contained Medea's Sixth Magic, possessing the might of [Breaking Ten Thousand Laws], which was essentially integrating the [Rule Breaker] into every drop of magic power!
Even if a Mountain Giant were here, it would be easily hunted by the current Medea!
"Who are you!"
"Seeking death! How dare you commit an offense in the Land of the Houyhnhnms!"
"Die!"
Before the words were finished, the horses arrived first!
Several Houyhnhnms flapped their wings, bringing terrifying airflow capable of tearing clouds apart. Unfortunately, in Anna's Mystic Eyes of Petrification, this was still too slow by a glance.
She did not petrify them, avoiding the waste of resources.
Anna, riding the [Pegasus], instantly executed the Strange Tales that rushed forward using the Immortal-Slaying Blade in her hand, subjecting them to the Execution of Louis XVI.
More Houyhnhnms followed one after another. Seeing this scene, they instantly panicked and slowed their wings, while Esdeath, standing on the ice surface, raised her fair hand.
"Boreal Heavens!"
Hmm... Esdeath came up with the name after reading a webnovel from the Main World. She felt that the original Mahapadma didn't sound as imposing as this.
Under the moonlight, the dark clouds above the Land of the Houyhnhnms were split into two regions by the gleaming ice from the extreme north.
When the cold wind and freezing rain fell!
The Land of the Houyhnhnms froze!
Meanwhile, Medea's Sorcery Ritual was being completed!
