BOOM——
A thunderous explosion.
The entire town trembled.
The Magic Breakers were instantly forced to their knees by the immense pressure from above, howling as they resisted the impact.
"Quick! Activate the Magic Forbidden Domain!" shouted their leader.
In an instant.
The Magic Breakers clenched their fists and struck hard against the inner side of their shields.
WHOOSH——
A deafening hum filled the air as the runes on their shields suddenly multiplied. A massive cross of light appeared, then merged together to form an enormous golden domain.
When the terrifying ice waterfall touched this domain, it immediately dispersed into countless scattered water elements.
The magic was dispelled!
Saint Anna, who was protected in the center, suddenly turned her head and coldly looked towards Nanako:
"I already gave you one chance. Since you didn't cherish it, don't blame me!"
In that moment, she raised her staff and began to chant.
Instantly.
A ripple spread out around Nanako.
Nanako's body suddenly shuddered, and her face turned pale.
She immediately sensed that the omnipresent magical energy and elements around her had been directly dispersed.
Her spell was interrupted.
This was...
A high-level silence spell!
The moment Nanako was silenced, the Magic Breaker squad suddenly turned, shouting loudly as dazzling golden light enveloped their bodies.
"Charge!"
They roared, rushing forward with their shields, instantly reaching maximum speed as they charged towards Nanako.
"A mere mage dares to provoke us Magic Breakers? You must be tired of living!"
The lead Magic Breaker's face twisted in rage as he drew his blade with a clang.
They were Magic Breakers.
All their equipment was specially designed to counter mages and sorcerers.
This was why they didn't take magical organizations like Winter Spring Valley seriously.
But just as they were about to reach halfway...
[Master, don't be provoked so easily. As a mage, there are many ways to deal with them. Rushing into direct confrontation isn't what a mage should do.]
[But since they hate pigs so much, wouldn't it be fun to turn them into pigs too?]
[Let me think... Source Magic... haven't touched this stuff in years, but I should still be able to...]
In that instant.
Lynn's fingers moved slightly within his sleeve, and an almost imperceptible gleam of Source Magic flashed by.
SNAP——
In an instant, under everyone's stunned gaze.
The lead Magic Breaker's body suddenly transformed into a plump black pig.
Nanako immediately widened her eyes, staring at this scene in disbelief.
The young mage girl was even more shocked: "This... this... what's happening..."
But before she could finish speaking.
Several more sounds followed.
SNAP——
SNAP——
The Magic Breakers who had just charged halfway were transformed into black pigs one after another.
"Oink—— Oink——" The black pigs let out terrified squeals.
Clearly, this sudden development was something they had never expected.
Seeing this scene, Saint Anna in the distance changed color dramatically, stepping backward repeatedly, her face instantly turning pale:
"A... curse?! This is impossible! This absolutely cannot be..."
She suddenly raised her head, staring at Nanako from afar, pointing at her viciously:
"I understand now, it's you... it's..."
SNAP——
Before she could finish speaking, a faint light flashed over her body.
In that instant, her body also transformed into a black pig.
In that moment.
The entire scene fell silent.
Nanako and the three white pigs beside her all opened their mouths wide, staring dumbfounded at this sudden development, their jaws nearly dropping to the ground.
On the street, all that remained now were black pigs oinking in terror.
"..."
"..."
Nanako stammered: "This... this..."
Lynn also appeared dumbfounded, unconsciously stepping back, his face pale as he said: "A curse... is it a curse? Damn, I knew this place was strange, we shouldn't have come..."
He immediately turned to Nanako anxiously: "Master, I think we should go back... this place is too dangerous!"
Nanako stared at Lynn up and down blankly.
Looking at his anxious expression and slightly trembling eyes filled with fear.
It was a perfect portrayal of a naive young man's normal reaction, without a single flaw.
The young mage girl beside Nanako was pale-faced, trembling as she gripped her staff:
"It's gotten worse, really worse than a few days ago! Has the curse on this town developed to the point where it can turn people into pigs even in broad daylight?!"
[Yes! Yes! It's gotten worse! We should run!]
[Too terrifying, if we accidentally get cursed and turn into piglets, we'll never change back!!]
[Hey, wasn't I the one who turned them into black pigs? Hehehe——]
Nanako: "..."
So...
What was the point of that whole internal monologue just now?!
Disciple, are you a comedian?!
You almost made your beloved master believe it really was a curse!
Nanako, suddenly no longer afraid, widened her eyes and waved her small hand:
"Everyone, don't panic. Just look at their breed - this must be a coincidence. They met with evil consequences because they were evil, that's why they turned into black pigs. We have righteousness in our hearts, if we were to transform, we'd turn white!"
The young mage girl immediately sighed in relief, wiping cold sweat from her forehead: "Yes, if we were to transform..."
"But they're still pigs!!" the girl cried out.
Nanako secretly glanced at her disciple.
Indeed... how impressive!
When they transformed into black pigs, she hadn't sensed even a trace of magical fluctuation.
Was this the power of a world-class archmage?
Truly amazing!
Nanako then composed herself and turned her gaze to the black pigs squealing in terror, pondering:
"Disciple, what do you think we should do? We can't just leave them here, can we?"
Lynn thought for a moment.
Then pointed towards the market nearby.
[Claude's Pork Shop - Satisfy your stomach, warm your heart!]
A sign above a storefront.
The black pigs (ΩДΩ): "!!!!"
Nanako immediately widened her eyes, worried: "This... isn't right, selling them to a pork shop... isn't that too cruel..."
Lynn held up his fingers, making some calculations.
Nanako swallowed hard, her small hands anxiously pinching her lips: "Fifty silver coins each... that's... that's a lot... could buy lots of ice cream..."
The black pigs cried in terror: "Oink—— Oink—— Oink——"
Lynn made some more calculations, then coughed.
Nanako's ahoge suddenly stood straight up as she stared in shock: "Raise them... ourselves? I suppose we could... one sow, twenty boars..."
Nanako counted on her fingers in confusion: "Five piglets per litter, nine in two litters..."
The black pig that was Saint Anna shook her head frantically, (ΩДΩ) going: "Oink—— Oink——"
The other black pigs looked at each other, suddenly falling silent.
After a while.
Nanako shook her head vigorously, her ponytail swaying, and poked Lynn with her finger, glaring:
"What are you thinking! Don't give your master such terrible ideas, they're people too, this isn't right!"
"People?" Lynn asked puzzled: "There are no people here."
The black pigs: "!!!"
"..."
A brief silence.
The young mage girl swallowed and gripped her staff tightly: "That's... that's right, Executive Nanako, I only see a bunch of black pigs, I don't see any people!"
The black pigs: "(ΩДΩ)!!"
The three white pigs nodded vigorously, ^(OO)^ going: "Oink oink oink!"
Nanako fell into a daze.
All the black pigs looked at her in terror, waiting for her response.
A long time passed.
Nanako scratched her ponytail, closed her eyes, and nodded up and down, her ponytail flying, and said, "That's right, Nanako is really being silly, there are only pigs here, where are there any people! (*￣︶￣)! Really!"
The black pigs were immediately terrified, letting out a series of fearful howls.
Just from the previous conversation, they could tell!
They had reached a consensus!
They had indeed reached a consensus!
