“Stop this already, Sekai!” I yell.

No answer.

As the veil of dust rapidly unravels and discharges of electricity erupt all around, the whole Scarlet Devil Mansion stands there—even me and Patchy—, about twenty feet in front of us, their eyes of nebula staring down at us with… An impossible-to-understand feeling. Worst of all are the mysterious, ghostlike adornments that pop in and out of existence around them, almost as if reality itself is shifting in a last, excruciating hurrah, the ghostly body parts going from massive bird-like wings; nine long and pompous tails; two slender tails; hats of all kinds, clothes of all shapes and forms, weapons too…

What in the living hell are those?

The question is left unanswered, me gracefully taking a fighting stance, the blood gushing from wounds not treated likely doing me no favor against this—my, to a degree—goddess child. Lady Patchiouli is also down to her last reserves of magic…

We are at our absolute limits…

What's to come is to be final, one way or another.

Sounds behind me make me glance, and I watch in awe as the ethereal tomes and scrolls that surrounded Lady Patchiouli began unmaking themselves into this auric dust that sprinkled the air as if snow all around Lady Patchouli, rapidly consolidating in the silhouette of an ornamented golden key latched to a necklace around her neck.

The key to destroying the pillar and so, our key to Sekai's World.

Now or never…

… I trust you, Lady Patchiouli!

next chapters will be the end of the battle between Meiling/Patchy vs. Sekai; my mini training for the finale~
also, thread so slow it's almost as if I posted three chapters in a row!
hopefully Hanaanon is okay; he missed his self-imposed deadline and didn't answer to the archive of Hana images...
