Chapter 344: The Invincible Liuli Cat, Father and Daughter Reunite

Karembu Empire.

Autumn Maple Hill, high above in the sky.

Under the deep blue sky, the Holy Dragon, gifted with a name by the emperor, flapped her wings high in the air. She was cherished by the Golden Sea, breathing in the magic essence that flowed through the atmosphere, creating a realm of wind that stretched for hundreds of miles.

Those dozens of airships, unable to keep up with the speed, seemed like feathers lifted by the wind, moving gently and safely under the protection of Aurora, reaching speeds close to a hundred mach.

The final scene created was of these airships filled with little idols and some innocent people, with the Holy Dragon, symbolizing the great oath, as the tip of a shining and colorful meteor shower, rushing high in the sky towards the capital of the empire, a truly spectacular sight.

At this very moment, the great and kind lady, “Aisha Fez,” the oath duke, sat on the back of this splendid and dreamlike legendary dragon, gazing at the horizon with her cute, troubled face, while drinking a large bottle of Magic Potion.

The girl pouted her pink lips and couldn’t help but press her hands against her stomach, feeling warm and quite swollen.

Although Magic Potion was not a liquid, after drinking too much, the rich magic essence turned into magical power, which naturally led to a feeling of being “overfilled” for a magical girl, a creature of whimsy.

In fact, Liuli Cat had somewhat gotten used to this feeling.

Because every time she replenished magic with Honey Qing, she experienced that strange sensation of her stomach being filled up.

But the key was that drinking the Magic Potion without exchanging fluids with Honey Qing meant that their souls did not connect, their magic did not intertwine, and it felt like stepping onto a cloud, with blood and skin tingling, just like the sensation of rising to heaven.

Therefore, the experience of drinking the Magic Potion was simply like overeating, only reminding her of the times she was hugged and kissed by the Pure White Succubus.

Tang Liuli grew more and more angry.

The terrible Church of the Gods couldn’t wait until she returned to Yves Saint Laurent, stood next to Honey Qing, and could peacefully be a little useless person before causing trouble?

Now the whole world was in chaos; not only had it forced Miyuki, that sakura girl, to be “Fully Blooming,” but it also gave Little Xuan a chance to cause chaos and even start attacking the bishops, making her look completely useless!

Well, to be fair, unlike the other two teammates, her [Blood of Sighs] and [The Wall of Sighs] were with her wife (Chu Yuanqing), so it was normal that she felt useless.

But the problem was that Charlotte, who had also lost her blessings, had drawn the Adjudicator, a being with royal blood that could directly connect to the Golden Sea to extract magic, boasting an unbeatable full-level status and having fun recklessly.

And she could only ride…

Oh, at least Sister Aurora was a legendary Lapis Lazuli Radiant Dragon, so having her as a bodyguard wasn’t bad luck.

If she were in a game, she would at least be a big spender; Charlotte was the kind of player who cheated, so she didn’t count.

Tang Liuli used positive thinking to encourage herself and then continued to sadly digest the magic essence, watering the Cocoon of the Heart, waiting for the Flower of the Soul to bloom.

Aurora’s dragon-like eyes lowered as she looked down at the clouds and the many city-states, warning in a serious tone:

“Aisha, wake up! Everyone on the airship just disappeared in an instant; we are being watched.”

Tang Liuli, like a startled cat, instinctively activated her Spirit Power. Her green eyes became more vibrant, shining with light, and her extrasensory perception awakened, extending spiritual threads for miles.

This area was already very large.

But strangely, she didn’t sense any souls at all.

Not only the towns on the ground but even the airship behind her, filled with tens of thousands of people, seemed to be as Aurora said—only revealing a lot of emptiness.

When did this happen? How did they manage to separate her from those people in an instant?

Sister Aurora was a legend. Her soul had been cleansed and transformed, allowing her to easily sense the essence and laws of the world. With the favor of the Emperor, she also enjoyed the protection of the Golden Sea, making it impossible for ordinary illusions to deceive her.

The key point was that neither the Oath Family nor the other Tower Masters had any reason to act against her, who was viewed as a puppet. The enemy’s background was either that of a fervent believer in a deity or a part of the Church of the Gods.

But the former had no reason or ability to take away the people on the airship.

So… is it the archbishop of the Church of the Gods?

The girl felt heavy-hearted. She vaguely guessed the truth; if the Church of the Gods was targeting magical girls, it was only natural that she, who rode the legendary Holy Dragon to save many contestants, would attract attention.

If she thought about it even worse, she might be seen as a tool for finding magical girls. The enemy likely waited for her to officially head to the Imperial Capital before they acted, no longer searching for the other magical girls.

In other words, the enemy might not take the risk of confronting a legend to trouble her but would instead leave with these “trophies,” identifying the magical girls from the crowd, planting them with Disaster Debris, and sacrificing them to their respective worshipped Calamity God.

No, I must find everyone.

Tang Liuli was more serious than ever. This was no longer just a matter of pride. Even though the gift of planetary consciousness could help everyone leave the Ideal State in time and fully recover from their injuries without dying.

But once you feel the terror of being planted with Disaster Debris and transformed into a non-human monster, the mental torment would be immense. If you completely break down, it could lead to dim lanterns, broken spirits, and even… regression!

Tang Liuli took a deep breath. It was her responsibility to take care of those girls and protect them. She could not waste another moment.

The girl drank more than ten bottles of Magic Potion in one breath. She held back the urge to vomit, and the fire in her eyes burned brightly as she unlocked her maximum Spirit Power.

In the next moment, her slender fingertips extended 71 threads, connecting at a speed that pierced dimensions to the 71 magical girls who had once been on the airship.

This was based on an Emotional bond, and the spiritual threads that emerged could anchor the essence of the souls once sensed. The farther away they were, the more magic power needed to connect.

The girl’s face was pale, her eyes serious. She grasped the 71 threads, pressing her pink lips together as she wrapped them around her palm, like a dragon knight holding reins, linking to Aurora’s thoughts, she softly said:

“Sister Aurora, follow the direction I’m guiding you. No one can take the Fez family’s fortune from me. The enemy hasn’t run more than a hundred thousand meters; we must stop them and then… tear them apart!”

Her words finished.

The Holy Dragon changed direction. Her streamlined body soared through the sky, moving at an incredible speed, speeding through the burning and extinguishing magic essence, in just a few breaths, she left Autumn Maple Hill behind.

“As you wish, Aisha.”

“Those children’s talents are truly remarkable; it would be a great shame to lose them here.”

Tang Liuli sensed the approaching location and explained seriously:

“Sister Aurora, the enemy is not a god cast out to the edge of the world, but a true and complete foe from beyond.”

“So, they will likely use powers that are neither magic nor qi, and not even related to alchemy. We must respond with great care.”

Aurora didn’t ask where the information came from; she just acknowledged it. She sent out waves of energy through space, hiding the airship behind her scales, then burst through the thick clouds, increasing her speed again.

The girl held the “reins,” fully focused on guiding the direction, her dark hair flowing as the tips glimmered like shining fireflies. Her soft noble dress transformed into a knight’s armor made of a shirt, vest, coat, cloak, and boots.

This was different from performance attire; the slightly idol-like Magic Armor was a brand new form created by her subconscious while in dragon-riding mode.

Tang Liuli controlled the legendary Holy Dragon, looking down at the distant land. Her emerald eyes reflected the firelight, and memories of the past flowed by like a stream. She took a deep breath and made up her mind.

In this moment, the fear of rushing through the sky and the unease of facing the enemy turned into a burning awareness deep within.

Aurora understood the intent in the mental link; the tail flame she dragged grew hotter, with circles of magic essence that shattered and formed again, increasing her speed.

Boom!!!

Tang Liuli dove alongside her, and she and the Holy Dragon seemed like an aurora falling, crashing into the black tide filled with disaster aura, sweeping up waves of elemental explosions that sent hundreds of thousands of disaster beasts flying, the terrifying power of the dragon radiating for miles, creating a force field that shattered the air.

It was a surge that made the earth wail, shattered the wilderness, and silenced everything; all things swirled around Aurora’s landing point as if a tablecloth had been shaken, with its folds stretching and piling up, dust dancing along.

At that moment, the black tide and disaster beasts were like dust, as the dragon’s chant wove through the air at high speed, repeatedly using the magic essence, unfolding a spell that built thousands upon thousands of earth-type puppets from the rising waves of soil.

Tiny shards of light flickered in the ocean of dust; flames, auroras, cold currents, thunder, splashes of water, and fragments formed by a complex magic essence all together created a grand and continuous explosion.

It was like shimmering waves, resembling a strange film played in reverse, tormenting the black tide in giant bubbles, repeating endlessly, mercilessly bombing back and forth, crushing the savage Disaster, leaving behind a large amount of ashes.

—Unrestricted Technique – Elemental Conservation.

This is the magic spell of the Lapis Lazuli Radiant Dragon engraved in the bloodline. It can gather a large amount of magic essence in a certain area, constantly returning to its original form for repeated use, achieving the result of unlimited release of magic.

With this, Aurora cleared the area. Her dragon eyes sparkled with elemental rainbows, piercing through the scattered dust, ashes, and soil, looking at the distant man in a suit, who seemed to be enjoying a play, smiling with his golden hair.

The vision shared by Tang Liuli allowed her to see the threads connecting the souls of the magical girls. Those 71 threads were currently intertwined into a bundle, creating a luminous rainbow that fell into the hourglass held by the man.

Aurora whispered softly in her heart:

“Aisha, he is the culprit.”

Tang Liuli looked cautiously at him; compared to the other archbishops, this man seemed too normal. And… did his power have to do with space?

Whether moving the people from the airship all at once or putting them into an hourglass, it all seemed too strange.

However, while spatial powers could do the same things, if one limited the opponent’s abilities within the realm of the Calamity God’s authority, manipulating space seemed rather ordinary.

The girl tightened the red ribbon, tying her black hair into a ponytail. She sat on the back of the Holy Dragon, looking down at the villain who remained elegant in the wind and sand, upholding the dignity of the Duke of Oaths without revealing any weakness, and softly said:

“Where did you hide my companion?”

Thousand Faces’s face was full of amazement. He didn’t answer the question, but clapped his hands and laughed:

“You only took 7 seconds to locate and rush to the scene.”

“Graceful decisions, decisive judgments, calm will.”

“Tang Liuli, you not only have the talent of a magical girl, but also the potential to be a warrior and a leader.”

The man said this with a regretful tone:

“But it’s a pity, I wasn’t even ready to meet you yet. Instead of picking the still green fruit early, I would rather see it ripen and slowly decay in the soil.”

“How about this? You hand over the Vow Ring and just leave.”

As Thousand Faces spoke, the curve of his smiling mask grew deeper. He casually shook the hourglass and said kindly:

“As for these magical girls? Don’t worry, in my script, only half of them will break down mentally, and the other half, after this trial, will become excellent warriors.”

“This is a very good deal, isn’t it?”

Tang Liuli’s expression remained unchanged; she was an experiential actor. Instead of maturing quickly and becoming strong, imitation was faster, and she just happened to remember the best warriors.

The girl carried the posture of that young man. She ignored Thousand Faces’s shock at knowing her real name, calmly considering her reasons while fiercely communicating her thoughts to Aurora, giving the order to kill the opponent and keep the hourglass.

You can be tangled up in thoughts, you can hesitate, and you can think as long as you want in front of the other person’s grave.

Only dead bishops are good bishops.

The Holy Dragon stopped chanting; the magic essence around her body was like the calm water after a tsunami. The energy-filled space buzzed as it successfully anchored its coordinates in an instant.

Thus, hundreds or even thousands of Dimensional Slashes, intersecting from different angles, surrounded the blonde man, covering a distance of ten thousand meters, creating a sea urchin of dense black lines in silent and smooth cuts.

—Taboo Technique: Prison Slash.

With just one breath, Thousand Faces and everything in the area were crushed into pieces. The swirling mist of blood vanished in the chain explosions of the Dimensional Slash, leaving no trace behind.

Only the small hourglass was transported to Tang Liuli’s hand the moment it touched the Dimensional Slash. However, before she could take a breath, the hourglass turned into a wisp of smoke and evaporated.

The man with golden hair stood unharmed amidst the chaotic space explosions. He looked down at the hundred-faced dice hovering in front of him, casually retrieving the hourglass from the void, and smiled as he said:

“It seems the negotiations have failed.”

“There’s nothing we can do, Grand Duke Tiffany. It’s up to you to hold off the Holy Dragon.”

From the swirling dust, a powerful man with white hair stepped out, his face handsome and stern, with a heavy greatsword on his back.

The most striking thing was the illusory and terrifying magical power, swirling around him with an extremely dense concentration. A hint of aura floated up to the sky, showcasing an exaggerated dominance, nearly shaking the earth and heavens with its existence.

Auguste Tiffany, before Lucy deciphered the technology of the Demon God Machinery, was the empire’s top Alchemist, even surpassing Ahadfil of the Oath Family. He walked the path once taken by emperors and restored the concept of life energy—Qi.

Whether he was a warrior, demon sword wielder, magician, alchemist, or forger, he was among the legendary figures and was one of the only two polymaths in Tiffany’s history.

As for why it was not said to be the only one, it was because he also had a daughter named Lucy Tiffany.

However, there was no doubt that in the eyes of the world, Miss Tiffany, who was the closest to the heir, still had an insurmountable gap in actual combat power compared to her father.

Aurora’s dragon eyes were cold, and her emotions grew more solemn. Without fighting alongside the previous generation’s duke, Olga Fez, her chance of defeating Auguste was only 10%, or even lower.

But what truly weighed down her spirits was the meaning of the person fighting here.

The Vow Ring mentioned by Thousand Faces, combined with the dark tide phenomenon she saw along the way, led her to guess a terrifying truth: the opponent was not targeting the Fez family but had… betrayed the empire!

“Auguste Tiffany, have you forgotten the oath your family made to the emperor?”

“Never to touch the relics of the other Oath Families. Can I take this to mean that you, who are trying to break this iron rule, have abandoned your loyalty to the emperor, to the empire, and to humanity!”

Auguste glanced at the Holy Dragon and said indifferently:

“Aurora, is she the Lapis Lazuli Radiant Dragon of this generation?”

“Your existence is the Fez family’s loyalty to the Emperor. I will not kill you. Let Aisha Fez hand over the Vow Ring, and I will let you go.”

“Otherwise, the next generation of the Holy Dragon will have to inherit through the Dragon Crystal.”

Aurora felt heavy-hearted. Aisha was indeed the most talented Magician of the Fez family in this generation, but she was still far from being independent, let alone participating in legendary battles.

It seemed… they could only retreat for now.

The Holy Dragon did not know the magical girl at all. Without any hesitation, she used the Unrestricted Technique – Elemental Conservation, allowing the spell to stack infinitely. In almost an instant, she moved like a shooting star, traveling from the ground to above the atmosphere, quickly approaching the corridor near the Golden Sea.

This was the advantage of being a legendary dragon; her initial speed was faster than the Divine Messenger Barbet. With the aid of the spell, a slight push allowed her to move freely, and even Auguste had no chance of catching up to her.

But something incredible happened.

Just as Aurora was about to change direction and head back to the Fez Kingdom at the border of the Empire, the surrounding clouds and blue sky began to fade and collapse, as if the curtain had been lifted, forming the original place in an instant.

At the same time, Grand Duke Tiffany swung a sword strong enough to cut through mountains, announcing the start of the war.

In the midst of the bumpy ride, Tang Liuli “coincidentally” separated from the Holy Dragon. After she barely landed safely with the help of the Magic Armor, she looked up and saw a golden-haired man smiling at her while tossing a hundred-faced dice.

At this point, the battlefield was divided.

— Holy Dragon Aurora vs. Grand Duke Tiffany.

— She, Aisha Fez, the not-yet-“Fully Blooming” magical girl, and the invincible Liuli Cat vs. the Archbishop.
