Soon after that, Itogami Island was enveloped by an intense magical aura.
Complex magic circles supported by vast magical energy floated in the sky, still tinted by vestiges of red light. It was the enormous gate leading to Nod.
Its final traces extinguished, the sun completely sank over the water’s horizon.
“Sunset, huh?”
Unconsciously, a rugged smile crossed Kojou’s face as he spoke. This announced the end of daytime on the artificial isle of everlasting summer, signaling that night had come to the Demon Sanctuary.
A roar like thunder echoed, and an ashen sphere appeared above Kojou and the others’ heads.
The enormous fortress floated in the sky like a second moon, the lordly castle hailing from another world.
“That is…a Necropolis…!”
A quiet murmur trickled from Yukina as she gazed up at the sky.
The Demon Sanctuary was encountering this Necropolis for the second time.
It was the beginning of the negotiations with the fate of the world at stake.
