"You, you are...?!"
At this moment, Matthew, who was struggling to fend off an unknown attack with her Noble Phantasm, displayed an expression of disbelief.
"You're not Tamamo-no-Mae·Koyanskaya! You are... you are...!?"
Before Matthew could finish her sentence, another world-shaking roar exploded on the city gate she had deployed.
"Ugh...!"
The impact shook Matthew to her core, her organs feeling as though they were set ablaze, burning with frightening heat.
If not for Matthew's incredible defensive power, she wouldn't be able to continue standing in the face of such a terrifying attack.
"Haha!"
A voice full of excitement and madness echoed from the darkness once more. A sky-tearing and earth-shattering claw of light burst forth from the darkness, crashing towards the crumbling Chalk Giant City, seemingly intent on ripping it apart and exposing the girl hiding within to its mercy.
Unfortunately, this time, the attack failed to land on the Chalk Giant City.
"Snap!"
