The explosive torrent of Magic Power swept away everything within a hundred-meter radius of Alice Kuonji!
A dark blue mushroom cloud surged into the sky, and swept by such a dense, large-scale End Magic, the entire mirror world, generated from a fairy tale fantasy, was on the verge of collapse!
After the Magic Power explosion cloud dissipated, a colorful egg, three meters high and with a maximum diameter of two meters, appeared at Alice Kuonji's original location.
It was painted vibrantly with various oil paints, like an Easter decorative egg, but at this point, it was already covered in cracks and shattered into a pile of eggshells after the Magic Power cloud dispersed.
Along with the Bridge Giant, it is one of the three great demon lord-level tools: Fairy Tale Familiar: Scratchdumpty.
Its true form is a handmade Easter egg.
Once activated, it transforms into a giant egg ten to thirty times its original size.
One of its functions is to approach the target; when the target's gaze moves away from the giant egg, it will fall, attacking the opponent with cursed fragments.
The second function is that if it does not fall within a limited time, a door in the center of the giant egg will open, trapping the opponent inside.
Originally, this familiar was not intended for defense, and shattering into fragments was already one of its abilities, so the defensive capability of this large colorful egg was not at all prominent.
However, in that situation, Alice had no choice; any other defensive measures would have been too late.
Therefore, a demon lord-level tool familiar, known for curses and confinement, was used as a shield, and after enduring a devastating blow, it was destroyed!
To use it again, one would only be able to rely on Fairy Tale Magic to create a corresponding Easter egg, which could then be used as a medium for re-summoning.
Alice, revealed from within the eggshell, had her pretty face slightly lowered, her bangs covering her eyes so her expression couldn't be seen.
However, from her pale complexion and the gloomy atmosphere, one could feel that her current state was very poor.
The demon lord-level tools left to her by her mother had always been her cherished treasures.
Aside from the indestructible Bridge Giant, she rarely used them, and the shattered Easter egg from just now was left by her mother during her lifetime.
Although she could also create one, it would no longer be her mother's work.
And the Magic Power fluctuation that had just erupted and swept through the entire mirror world had severely damaged this fantastical world.
She had never seen such a Magic Power characteristic that could erase mysteries in her life; this kind of Magic Power was simply the natural enemy of the entire Mystery Side!
The decomposed world had to be reassembled, otherwise, the vanished illusionary battlefield would bring the battle to the mansion her mother had left behind.
That mansion was Alice Kuonji's most cherished treasure; it held her mother's warmth.
Therefore, reassembling the fantasy in the instant before its destruction and collapse overdrafted an unimaginably vast amount of Magic Power from Alice.
Even a being like Alice, who had Magic Circuits extending to every corner of her body, found it difficult to sustain.
Alice Kuonji had begun to show undeniable signs of fatigue, reaching into her bosom to use her last trump card.
However, accompanied by a clear sword chime, a gleaming sharp blade was placed against Alice's delicate, snow-white neck.
"Big Sister Witch, if I were you, I wouldn't act rashly. You can't still make those pitiful birds die for you, can you?" A voice suddenly appeared from an unknown corner, holding a great tachi against Alice's neck and smiling.
With one hand holding the tachi, the other hand reached into Alice's inner pocket—the very trump card Alice was about to use. She watched with amusement as Alice's usually expressionless, pretty face revealed a cute, wronged expression with tightly bitten lips. She snatched it from Alice's hand, and while doing so, even gave Alice's well-developed pair of jade rabbits a squeeze!
(Damn it, I finally touched the heroine! No regrets in life!)
If I were still a man, I would definitely think that... Now that I am the heroine myself, I don't feel that excited, but it's very interesting!
Pondering inwardly, she took out the trump card she had snatched from Alice. It was a palm-sized crystal bottle, inside which a dark brown oily substance floated.
"Well, it really is this, Moon Oil!"
The last of the Demon King-level items, the fairy tale familiar: Moon Oil (Flatsnark).
Its body is oil. It manifests as a mist, capable of infinitely generating magic power within its dominated territory, and can freely manipulate discarded and forgotten things, achieving the regeneration of a fairy tale world. Among several monsters, it possesses the strongest self-awareness and also the most inferior personality.
This ultimate fairy tale familiar, playfully called "Moon Oil Magic" by Touko in the original work, once unleashed, would create a fairy tale world! Under the domination of infinite magic power and discarded and forgotten things, endless fairy tale monsters would be generated. At that time, even a Grand Title Holder Magus would be piled to death within it.
The magic system Alice inherited from her mother is called the Shard of the First Magic, which refers to a fragment of the First Magic! The First Magic: Negation of Nothingness, which means creating existence by negating nothingness, a creative Magic of creating something from nothing. It can be said to have completely overturned the basic concept of equivalent exchange, and the Moon Oil, it can be said, is a manifestation of the Shard of the First Magic.
Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump!... The Bridge Giant, which arrived late, although she couldn't discern any expression from its bridge-pier-like head, she could still feel that it was very angry. But it was useless, unless it smashed its own Master along with it. And even if it did smash down, it might not kill that strong and agile little guy, while her own delicate body, and having already lost her Robin Master, would definitely not survive.
She disdainfully glanced at the big idiot. "Why do you think I led you around in circles for so long? Wasn't it just to create distance? A tank not protecting its own C-position and mindlessly chasing—now you're out of position, and the backline has been cut. No way out, right? Dumbfounded, right? Oh, right, you don't even have a face to be dumbfounded."
Alice, having completely regained her calm, once again reverted to her unruffled demeanor, speaking with an indifferent composure, showing no awareness of being "the fish on the chopping block" or "a wise man knows when to submit." She said indifferently and mercilessly: "Don't bother. No one in this world can control the Moon Oil except me."
"Oh my, what an unexpected great harvest today!"
"Great harvest?"
Alice frowned. The girl naturally knew that it was the core of her strongest familiar. Due to the unsuitable location, she hadn't used it immediately in the previous battle.
As a result, when she launched her attack, she couldn't use it in time and it unexpectedly fell into the opponent's hands.
Although it was a precious familiar, the fairy tale witch was confident, and she had already made it clear that besides herself, no one in the current world should be able to control it. How could this be called a harvest?
"Yes, to harvest such a reclusive, rare fairy tale witch, Big Sister Alice Kuonji, isn't that a great harvest for a Magus family?"
She said with a wicked smile. The fairy tale witch instantly connected the dots and her face turned completely pale, devoid of color.
