"One more swing!"
Azura threw his chain-scythe toward the end of the block. The curved blade sank in firmly, giving him just enough time to pull himself up onto the block with his left hand.
"Huft! Finally made it. Now, where’s Kazuha?" Azura said, breathing heavily.
When he glanced to the side, his eyes accidentally met Kazuha’s. Kazuha was falling with a small smile, their gazes locking for a brief moment before Kazuha dropped farther down.
"Kazuha!?"
For the second time, Azura’s eyes met someone else’s—this time Jeffy, who was also falling, chasing after Kazuha.
"Ah, damn it, Kazuha! I just got up here and you want to go down again!? No way I’m going back down. Nuh-uh."
Down below, on the concert stage, Miracle punched Aeko across the cheek. Aeko instantly retaliated with a sharp uppercut to Miracle’s chin, even as the stadium filled with tens of thousands of chaotic, panicking spectators—lives now at risk in the madness.
The moment the punch landed on her cheek, Aeko didn’t stop at the chin strike. She immediately followed with a powerful side kick to Miracle’s left leg, throwing off her balance.
Miracle stumbled and fell. Aeko lunged forward, aiming a low elbow strike—but Miracle rolled quickly to the side, dodging the blow.
Not giving Miracle a chance to stand, Aeko prepared to charge again before she could fully recover.
But unfortunately, just before Aeko could act, Miracle swept both of Aeko’s legs from below, forcing her to fall too.
"You damn woman!" Miracle shouted before standing up and kicking Aeko hard in the side, sending her rolling across the stage.
She walked over, grabbed Aeko by the collar, and yanked her up so they were face to face. "Aeko Josei! You know you’re just an ordinary human, right? You can’t beat someone who control magic like me!"
Without hesitation, Aeko slammed her forehead straight into Miracle’s nose with brutal force. Miracle staggered back, wiping the blood streaming from her nostrils.
Aeko pushed herself up from the fall and tried to strike Miracle while she was distracted by the blood—but a sudden distraction broke both their focus.
At the edge of the concert stage, Jeffy—now impaled in the right side of his chest by Kazuha’s dagger—turned his head to the side, looking toward Miracle.
Stolen from its rightful place, this narrative is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.
"Babe?! Let go of Jeffy!" Miracle shouted before sprinting toward Kazuha at incredible speed and kicking him off the edge of the stage.
She quickly pulled every dagger out of Jeffy’s body and limbs.
It seemed that moments earlier, before they fell, Kazuha had teleported to the dagger embedded in Jeffy’s arm, yanked it free, and plunged it into the right side of Jeffy’s chest right as they crashed onto the stage floor, breaking through it.
"F-F-Feyline? I’m sorry… I… I didn’t think it would turn out this bad," Jeffy said in a fading robotic voice.
"No! You’re not disappearing again!" Miracle replied, placing both hands on Jeffy’s forehead and beginning to heal the damaged block cells that Kazuha had destroyed earlier.
But before she could fully restore him, Aeko suddenly kicked Miracle hard from the side, sending her tumbling off the stage.
Down below, Kazuha swiftly placed his dagger against Miracle’s throat, holding her hostage.
"You! Come with me," Kazuha said, tightening his grip as she struggled.
"I won’t lose that easily! Do you even realize what you’ve done? You’ve caused a city-wide riot!" Miracle shouted while still trying to fight back.
"When the police get here, you’re finished! Just wait and see."
On the other side, inside a quiet police station, a bespectacled man burst through the door, gasping for breath, sweat soaking his entire body.
"Help! Help! Help! There’s a riot at Voryzard Stadium—Miracle’s concert!"
The officer on afternoon shift quickly checked the stadium feed on his computer. Sure enough—people were still desperately trying to flee, running in every direction. Total chaos.
"Damn it, I thought the jokes about a riot earlier were just nonsense," the officer muttered. He grabbed his phone and made a call. "Hey… Code 3, Code 3. Deploy all northern units to Voryzard Stadium immediately. Stop the riot."
Just as Kazuha was about to move Miracle out of the stadium, the sound of police sirens began echoing from outside. "Damn it… we made way too much chaos. This is way beyond the plan."
"So what now!? What do we do!? I don’t want to get arrested!" Aeko cried, her heart pounding wildly.
Up above, Azura’s eyes widened in shock as he saw thousands—no, not just regular police cars—armored riot vehicles and heavy units were arriving too. Officers moved in formation, equipped with transparent energy shields and massive armor.
"Oh my god… this too much chaos, there goes my name, blocked in Stellhaven." Azura muttered, pulling his gaze away from the scene below.
Jeffy let out a weak, almost battery-dead robotic laugh. "I know where you’re headed, Miracle. I’ve been waiting for this."
With his remaining hand, Jeffy raised it to the side without looking, aimed his palm at Kazuha, and released colorful blocks from inside his head. They surged rapidly toward his fingertips and shot out in a hard projectile straight at Kazuha’s face.
To everyone’s shock, the block struck Kazuha square in the forehead, forcing him to accidentally release the dagger from Miracle’s throat.
Miracle spun instantly, elbowed Kazuha in the cheek, then punched him hard in the stomach, followed immediately by another fist to his face.
Kazuha collapsed to the ground in pain. Even through the agony, he saw Miracle trying to climb back onto the stage. "Damn it! This woman can fight too—and it hurts like hell."
Of course, Aeko wasn’t going to let Miracle escape upward. The moment Miracle reached the stage, Aeko swung at her face—but Miracle dodged, causing Aeko to stumble and fall off the edge.
The police were getting closer, entering through the outdoor backstage area. The situation was spiraling into complete disorder.
Miracle managed to snatch her microphone back and raised it high.
"Phase Two: Majestic Mind."
