Cross (PART 19)

Aegis

Megumin, please retreat to safety! This opponent is extremely dangerous.

Aegis

My sensors indicate he possesses abilities that manipulate human form. One touch could be fatal.

Megumin

Run away? Never! A Crimson Demon archwizard never abandons her allies!

Megumin

Besides, my explosion magic could obliterate this fiend in seconds!

Mahito

Oh? A machine and a little girl? How fascinating... I wonder how your souls will transfigure.

Mahito

Let's play a game of tag. I touch you, you become my masterpiece!

Aegis

I may be mechanical, but I will not allow you to harm Megumin!

Aegis

(My systems are not detecting normal human patterns from him. Is he even human?)

Megumin

Darkness blacker than black and darker than dark, I beseech thee...

Megumin

(Just need to buy enough time to cast my explosion. One shot is all I need!)

Mahito

A machine with a soul and a child playing wizard? How peculiar humans are in this realm.

Mahito

That red-eyed man's command was simple: eliminate you. But I think I'll have fun first.

Aegis

Red-eyed man? You're being controlled! Fight his influence!

Aegis

Megumin, if your explosion is ready, now would be the optimal time!

Megumin

EXPLOSION!!!

Megumin

Wait... why is nothing happening? My magic... it doesn't work in this world?!
