Even if Aya Tokoyogi herself didn't care, Yuuma was still created from her own cells—essentially her "Daughter."
Hearing me suggest I wanted to take both of them to warm my bed, Aya Tokoyogi was so enraged her vision went dark, and she nearly fainted.
But seeing how casually I had severed her connection to the power, she knew she had no strength to stop me, and her long-planned escape attempt had utterly failed.
"Heh~ Hibari Kyoya, You truly live up to your reputation as a pervert!"
Suddenly—
Natsuki Minamiya, who had been sleeping on the wooden chair, opened her blue eyes, looking at me with undisguised contempt.
"Uh… Natsuki-chan, what a surprise! I didn't expect you to wake up so suddenly!"
I was just about to continue teasing Aya Tokoyogi when Natsuki's voice startled me. I turned my head, looking at her with an awkward, sheepish grin.
"Tsk~ If I hadn't woken up, who knows what kind of trouble you'd be causing next?" Natsuki retorted with disgust.
As the one who created the Prison Barrier, her awakening would destabilize the dream-like dimension.
Worse yet, the Prison Barrier itself could collapse, allowing some of the more powerful criminals to temporarily escape.
——
After our group summoned the Prison Barrier, she knew she couldn't stop my decision—so she simply woke up.
"You're all being too reckless. This will probably cause quite a stir!" Natsuki then looked at me, then at Asagi, Nagisa, Yukina, and the others, who were all smiling sheepishly.
Towards Natsuki's reprimand, the girls just smiled, not seeming to care at all.
When Natsuki's gaze landed on Aya Tokoyogi, her expression became very complex.
"Aya... I didn't expect that even now, you still haven't given up!"
Back then, because of Aya Tokoyogi's twisted ideology—believing that magic shouldn't exist in the world—she had planned to eliminate all magic.
Ultimately, due to the [Black Bible] incident—Natsuki had personally imprisoned her close friend, Aya Tokoyogi, within the Prison Barrier.
"I also didn't expect you to wake up on your own, Natsuki!" Aya Tokoyogi replied calmly.
"Let's put that aside for now. First, I'll help Natsuki-chan break the [Demon Pact]—then we can deal with the rest later!"
Saying this, I walked over to Natsuki's side.
"Natsuki-chan, are you ready?"
Hearing my words, Natsuki was caught in a dilemma. Breaking the [Demon Pact] would allow her to change from a Witch to a Magus—able to walk under the sun again as a human.
However, she was worried that losing her Witch status would halve her power. The Prison Barrier would also disappear, releasing the numerous dangerous criminals trapped inside.
And she was afraid that as a result—I would be seen as an enemy of the world. That was something she definitely didn't want to happen.
But things had come to this point; she could only agree.
"Since I can't stop you, let's see what you can do!"
Hearing Natsuki agree, I smiled, then released my magic power, searching for the Demon with whom Natsuki had made the pact.
However, the next moment—as if sensing the threat of death—Natsuki's Guardian, a being only Witches possessed, suddenly materialized.
A humanoid figure clad in golden armor appeared—this was Natsuki's Guardian, one of its weapons being the God-forged "Chains of Ordinance."
Seeing the golden Guardian attempt to resist, I directly used the [Breakdown Phenomenon] spell. The golden-armored Guardian let out an unwilling roar before finally being annihilated into Nothingness.
Immediately after—I activated my [Mystic Eyes of Death Perception] and saw a crack behind Natsuki. Within that crack hid a ferocious—Crimson Demon.
Without hesitation, I directly severed the Demon's line of death. The next moment, the Demon completely dissipated.
Simultaneously, the [Demon Pact] Natsuki had made was thoroughly broken.
Instantly, Natsuki's body suddenly weakened considerably, and her magic power dropped by nearly half.
Witnessing this scene, Aya Tokoyogi's initially desperate expression suddenly turned excited, her mind buzzing with thoughts.
She had thought I was just bluffing—but I had actually managed to break Natsuki's [Demon Pact], restoring her to a Magus.
Now that Natsuki had lost her Witch identity, the Prison Barrier would naturally dissipate soon. Didn't that mean she could escape from here?
WHOOSH!!!
Suddenly, the previously solid Prison Barrier began to flicker illusorily. Having lost the Witch's power, the dreamscape started to collapse.
With a loud roar, the Prison Barrier instantly vanished. Following that was the sound of countless criminals falling directly into the sea.
I and the others, along with Aya Tokoyogi, reappeared standing on the coastal harbor, completely unharmed.
Aya Tokoyogi, noticing my gaze, didn't hesitate for a second and immediately prepared to flee.
However, the next moment, she froze—as if her body had been petrified, completely unable to move.
Then, seeing my playful smile, her heart went cold, her eyes filled with terror.
——
"Is this the sea?! Am I out?!"
"Freedom! I'm finally free!!"
"That damn Witch of the Void is finally dead!!"
"..."
Looking at the criminals who had fallen into the sea, venting their anger and cursing Natsuki, my gaze flickered with cold killing intent.
"Kyoya... are you okay?"
Asagi Aiba was startled by my sudden change in demeanor. My aura had become terrifying.
Even Aya Tokoyogi, not far away, couldn't help but break into a cold sweat feeling this pressure.
"Nagisa, Asagi, and Kanon, the scene might get a little… gruesome. Turn around and close your eyes. Otherwise, you might have nightmares later!"
As I spoke, I handed Natsuki over to La Folia and Yukina to take care of.
Once everything was arranged, I immediately locked onto all the criminals and used [Telekinesis] to lift them into the air.
Just as these criminals were still panicking, an instant later, a terrifying pressure swept over their bodies. They all spat out blood, their internal organs nearly completely displaced.
Faintly, clear "crackling" sounds could be heard—the result of their limbs being twisted and deformed.
"AAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!"
"Damn... Damn brat! Kill you! Kill you!!"
The criminals—tortured and mangled in mid-air—were on the verge of collapse.
However, I didn't intend to end their suffering so easily.
After all, in the original story, these scumbags not only hunted down the amnesiac Natsuki-chan but even tried to kill Asagi.
Thinking of this, my eyes grew even colder. My magic power intensified, directly torturing Kiliga Gilika—the one who had pursued Asagi—into a wretched state.
To ensure he wouldn't die so easily, I continuously healed his injuries, making sure he experienced this hellish pain.
