### Chapter 29: Let the Battle Begin
One day passed.
Night Sky and her crew were lounging in their seaside villa, anxiously waiting for news.
Night Sky had already informed the Guardians.
If the Group Leader showed up anywhere, they’d be notified immediately.
The Zero-Style Nightfall crew would be heading out to deal with it.
Sure, Night Star Lan had mentioned that the Group Leader was dangerously powerful, but Night Sky wasn’t fazed. In no time flat, she had everything ready.
She even prepped the battlefield.
That’s right—an empty wasteland in another world with no life and just the desolation.
Fighting in such a place would ensure no innocent bystander got involved.
Soon enough, Night Sky received a message from the Guardians.
The Group Leader was performing on the streets of a certain city.
The location info was crystal clear.
Night Sky looked around at Kaguya and the others.
“Ready? It’s been a while since we fought, let’s stretch out a bit!”
Nene popped her knuckles, producing a satisfying crack.
“Can’t wait! Let me see how this disaster from another world stacks up against our S-Class Mist Hidden Beast. I hope it’s a bit tougher!”
The others were similarly fired up, fully charged and ready for action.
Seeing this, Night Sky raised her Yamata-no-Orochi blade and cleaved open a rip in space, creating a tunnel that sliced through several cities.
“Let’s go.”
They zipped through the space tunnel and, before they knew it, arrived at the target city.
With the Guardians’ intel, Night Sky and her team quickly located the Group Leader’s position, spying on him from atop a tall building.
Kaguya’s violet eyes were glued to the Group Leader, who was lost in his performance. She pondered aloud, “There’s a significant difference from the souls of ordinary humans—no complicated colors, purely simple. Is this what Night Star means by Star Eclipses?”
Night Sky wasn’t bothered by this little side thought.
“Look, we don’t care what it is—let’s cut to the chase and attack!”
The Group Leader was still performing, and there were nearly ten minutes left until the end.
But Night Sky didn’t want to wait.
Night Star had warned against interrupting the Group Leader’s performance because it could lead to a catastrophic disaster.
But that was for the Guardians.
Night Sky and her crew weren’t Guardians—they had powers that surpassed theirs.
They came here to crash the party and even chop the Group Leader to bits!
What’s the big deal about etiquette now?
Kaguya quickly got into the zone, activating her psychic powers, sending huge mental waves out to all nearby humans.
Soul suggestions were set in motion.
Like a powerful hypnotic force, it invaded the brains of everyone present, making them all vacate the area.
In under a minute, the audience around the Group Leader had vanished without a trace.
Seeing this, the Group Leader halted his performance, his grin fading.
The next second, Night Sky and her crew materialized right in front of him.
Both sides faced off, tension thick in the air.
Night Sky’s crew had definitely crossed a line with the Group Leader.
He stared coldly at the six of them.
“Are you all here to watch the show? Because if so, you’re very welcome.”
“Nope—we’re here to wreck the place. Spare us the small talk and let’s get to fighting.”
Night Sky was too lazy to chat with the Group Leader. She swung her sword and opened a gigantic rift, creating a tremendous pull!
Simultaneously, the “seal” word popped up in her eyes, representing sealing power.
Before coming, Night Star had already filled Night Sky in on all the Group Leader’s abilities.
That meant Night Sky knew exactly how to handle his time-space shenanigans at first glance.
In less than a second, she had temporarily sealed the Group Leader’s time-space ability, cutting off his escape route.
Before the Group Leader could say anything, everything around them began to shift.
They were no longer on Earth. It was a barren landscape instead.
The space tunnel Night Sky had opened forcibly yanked the Group Leader into another world.
This was the original realm of the Mist Hidden Beasts.
Next, no one would disturb their battle.
As the Group Leader glanced around, he quickly grasped the situation.
“I see, let the show begin. I’ll respond to your invitation earnestly.”
The Group Leader tipped his tall hat, and an overwhelming aura exploded forth, accompanied by a storm of black feathers swirling in the air.
Though his black feather power had been taken by the Wish Princess, Kuro’s power was more than enough to fill the gaps, possibly even stronger.
A Demon King is still a Demon King.
Even if his time-space ability was temporarily sealed, he wasn’t a helpless target.
Night Sky gripped her dual swords, her eyes shifting to a bl**d-red hue, filled with cold determination.
This meant she was fully in battle mode.
“Swift: Cherry Blossom Disaster!”
The word “swift” manifested in her eyes, and she vanished from her spot, leaving behind two pink streaks slicing through the Group Leader’s body mid-air.
Night Sky appeared behind him, sheathing her sword dramatically.
The two intersecting cuts gradually faded, as the Group Leader’s body seemed to take a moment to react and slightly misalign.
Night Sky’s opening move was a deadly strike, aiming to cleave the Group Leader in two with breathtaking speed.
But an unexpected twist occurred.
The Group Leader’s body didn’t collapse; instead, it transformed into black feathers that scattered rapidly, disappearing from view.
“Tsk, missed?”
Just then, Kaguya’s voice echoed in Night Sky’s mind.
“Night Sky, be careful! Those feathers have a powerful mental wave. Touching them could lead to terrible outcomes!”
In the blink of an eye, Night Sky found herself surrounded by countless black feathers, forming an inescapable net.
“Release: Chaotic Flower Grave!”
The word “release” shimmered in Night Sky’s iris, as her dual swords broke apart into a flurry of pink petals that rapidly spun around her, slicing through the encroaching black feathers.
The Group Leader’s silhouette reappeared, huge black wings spreading out behind him, standing not too far from Night Sky.
Meanwhile, the others from Zero-Style Nightfall were getting ready too.
Nene spread her dragon wings and soared into the sky, already transformed—her dragon features were strikingly evident, radiating a terrifying pressure, like the natural enemy of all living beings.
Chenxi, with an indifferent demeanor, raised her sword, compressing her powerful sword aura.
Yuxi spun a massive scythe made of energy, a sickly smile creeping across her face, as if she were a bloodthirsty predator.
“Little Dream, create a nuclear explosion zone.”
“OK~”
Little Dream perched on a cloud, activating the power of Dream Ruler, transforming the surrounding environment into a bizarrely marvelous dreamscape, like a child’s innocent fantasy.
Little Dream quietly pulled the Group Leader into the Dream World.
Power surging within Nene grew ever stronger, a massive dragon figure emerging behind her, towering like a mountain.
The figure of the blond-haired girl began to darken, her eyes shining with ferocity and light.
“Roar of the Emperor Dragon!”
Chenxi unleashed her strongest sword strike.
“God Slash.”
Yuxi hurled the spinning scythe, like a grim reaper coming for souls.
“Soul Harvest!”
Devastating beams of light, dazzling sword light, and scarlet scythes raced toward the Group Leader, exploding in a brilliant blaze.
Boom!
The entire dream world shook violently.
Under such a barrage, everything would be reduced to atoms.
