CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!

The giant claws of the two True Demons continuously tore through Celica's defenses, her golems being torn to shreds and destroyed. The only ones left standing were Mister Teddy, capable of conjuring powerful golem-healing magic, and then Mister Jester, her strongest golem.

Celica was protecting Sylphy, Ivy, and Bark from the True Demons, while Celeste ended being separated by the third True Demon that had grown fixated to her appearance.

She was truly doing her best to protect them, but things looked dire.

"Gyahahah!"

Mister Jester suddenly laughed, unleashing an Illusory cloud of pink color, and materializing several clones of itself, which then summoned dozens of Explosive Cards and fired them at the True Demons.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

"Did that do some damage?!"

The demon girl's eyes widened the moment she saw that across the smoke the two True Demons remained unscathed. Their skin was incredibly tough!

"An adorable attempt..."

"But we are much tougher, child!"

The two True Demons rushed to fight Celica, as the demon girl stepped back and continuously tried to regenerate more and more golems, yet they would get crushed and squashed into

Pieces.

Mister Teddy and Mister Jester were exceptions to the equation, as her other golems died too easily. There was something special about their composition that she needed to learn.

But right now, there was little time to do that even.

The True Demons attacked, swinging their giant claws, and setting ablaze anything they attacked with blazing fury. ƒ

Mister Teddy and Mister Jester were at their limit already, and no more occasional healing would heal them once they took this much damage.

"{Phantasmal Magic}: {Phantom Chains}! {Spectral Hands}!"

Celica desperately conjured her phantom Magic, spending large quantities of Mana to unleash hundreds of phantasmal chains to weaken someone's soul and a hand to damage it.

FLUOSH!

The two True Demons were finally hit with some magic, magic they couldn't easily destroy, their souls felt tightly wrapped by her attacks, as they recoiled, stepping back!

"Ugggh?!"

"Agh! She can directly damage the soul?!"

The two True Demons panicked, as Mister Teddy swing his giant hammer and slammed them away with tremendous force, while Mister Jester fired countless card-shaped projectiles at them.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The bombardment combined with the soul damage managed to buy some time for Celica to quickly run towards her golems and begin combining them together into something new, infusing her powers into it...

However.

TRUUUM!

A giant True Demon hand appeared above her, her eyes widening as she conjured a Phantasmal Barrier, which immediately shattered.

Crack, crack...!

CRASH!

"Ahhh!"

Celica was much frailer than the rest, despite her doing her best to cultivate her physical body, her race itself had little talent with physical strength, and instead had great talent with obscure and rare magic.

This made it so even as she cultivated her physique, she only strengthened her magic and mana capacity, while her body barely became tougher than before...

A single attack from that hand, slamming her down...

Would definitely kill her with a single strike!

"Don't think that would stop us, you little shit!"

The True Demon that managed to get to her had the most resistance to soul damage, easily throwing away the weakened Mister Teddy and Mister Jester, who the second True Demon decided to take care of.

His hand quickly rushed down towards Celica, as her senses suddenly sharpened, adrenaline pumping through her entire body, her demonic bloodline flaring with power.

In this very moment where she faced imminent death, it felt like time slowed down.

"N-No...! Am I really going to die?!" she thought, the hand rushing down faster and faster. "I can't... get away in time...!"

Although she felt like time around her was slower, her movements were not faster.

However...

FLASH! FLASH! FLASH!

Several green-colored lights glowed within the depths of her physique and her magic circle. Although she couldn't develop her physical body as much as she wished, Celica's body had the amazing talent of storing a lot of magic runes.

This also, made it so she ended gaining much more Alchemy Runes than Sylphy and Celeste. And they all glowed, responding to her desperation, her demon bloodline, specializing on magic, flared, instinctively activating her body's runes, and then her magic circle's runes.

All of their magical power converged into an emerald-colored phantasmal aura surging from

Her body.

And within that split second, Celica didn't hesitate, immediately acting.

She felt a connection with her golems.

Both Mister Teddy and Mister Jester being slowly torn apart.

And of the others that were already destroyed.

Their materials, their forms, their attachment to her, their magical runes...

And their phantasmal souls.

"I get it now... Right!"

Celica quickly realized that the source of her powers didn't come from just her innate

Necromancy.

No, it was also a form of Alchemy!

FLUOSH!

Her powers combined together, as threads of emerald and blue colored energies connected

Her to her golems, as they all moved independently, transforming.

CRASH!

"Ugh?!"

From the left, a giant golem's hand surged out of the pile of destroyed golems, pushing the True Demon away, all while Mister Teddy and Mister Jester appeared behind him out of nowhere, hacking at his back and tearing through his flesh.

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!

CRAAASH!

"AAAGH! SCRAM!"

The furious True Demon swung his arm and pushed all the golems away, but this wasn't even

The beginning. Celica touched the ground, her powers flared with tremendous amounts of

Magical power.

"{Shape Forge Necromancy}: {Golem Domain}"

RUMBLE!

Her powers spread through everywhere, all her golems responded, immediately transforming. Mister Teddy and Mister Jester fused together into a gigantic Titan, crushing

The True Demon with their foot.

BAAAM!

At the same time, as the True Demon resisted, the rest of the golems came together into gigantic spiraling black colored spears, which Celica fired at lightning speed.

"Hahah! Mere projectiles won't harm- UGH?!"

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!

The True Demon was confident his incredibly tough skin would save him this time.

But he was completely wrong!

The spears pierced through his flesh and then spread like roots made of stone, clay, and other materials, infecting his insides, and then coming out of his skin as countless black spikes.

"Gryyyaaaagggh!"

And as his scream of agony reverberated, Celica smiled.

"Master wasn't wrong... That training truly worked well!"
