elongation--
This sudden attack was not fast, but because it was seen in the mirror, it was obvious that Aozaki Aoko's brain, which was dulled by the shock, did not react.
Although her combat training with Victor allowed her to instinctively launch the same magic attack.
But the result is...
With a bang, the mirror in front of him shattered, and a sharp pain came from behind.
"Ah... cough... cough cough."
Ignoring the distance of more than ten meters, the heavy blow from the puppet caused Aozaki Aoko to slam into the wall, and the sound of pain was swallowed back.
"Aozaki!"
Shizuki Sojuro, who had just been targeted by Aozaki Aoko and was facing a life-threatening situation, immediately stood up, ran to Aoko who was coughing non-stop using his hands and feet, and helped her stand up.
This almost instinctive reaction made Aozaki Aoko stunned, and then her eyes became more complicated.
…………On the other side, a "doll" with an unknown structure and completely different from the Victor android was retracting its outstretched arm.
The wrist stretched to more than ten meters, and the elbow joint, which had been multiplied several times, was recovering to its original shape with a click.
"Are you okay?"
Shizuki Sojuro seemed to be quite concerned about the other person.
Aozaki Aoko frowned and didn't answer the other party. She just pushed away the other party's hand, then staggered... her knees softened and she was about to kneel down.
Fortunately, Shizuki Sojuro on the side supported her again, and this time, Aozaki Aoko didn't dare to be stubborn anymore.
She stared at the doll opposite her and tried to confirm her back with her hand.
"hiss!"
When I stretched out my hand halfway, I felt a burning pain.
"…It hurts, but is it just a hit?"
Aozaki Aoko didn't understand at all, but if that was all...
That doesn't seem to be a big threat.
Aozaki Aoko slightly enchanted a sleeping familiar on her chest. That was the thing used to summon Kuonji Yuju when encountering special situations.
But now, she felt that she could also deal with the other party!
Qingzi estimated the extent of the damage on her back and controlled her disordered breathing. It was just a bruise from a blunt object and would only take a few minutes to fully recover.
With this thought in mind, Aozaki Aoko began to fight back.
In the darkness, a blue light began to flicker, and the magic circuits on the right arm lit up one after another.
Well, destroy it with one blow!
Aozaki Aoko thought so.
Under the crescent moon outside, Youzhu of Jiuyuan Temple was sitting on an abandoned Ferris wheel, looking down silently, not knowing what he was thinking.
Until Victor's abrupt voice sounded beside him.
"I didn't notice it at all, Aoko."
Upon hearing this, Kuonji Yuzu raised her quiet face and calmly stated the conclusion: "Aoko is an idiot."
It's unrealistic to expect a fool to study the deeper meaning behind the magician's attack.
After the voice fell, Kuonji Yuzu quickly asked again: "Didn't you find it? Aozaki Touko."
"Found it." Victor yawned in a very bachelor way, then sat down beside Jiuyuan Temple Yuju, holding his chin and looking down, saying: "But she ran away directly, I didn't chase her."
“I’m more worried about this side.”
Victor smiled slightly, and regardless of whether Jiuyuan Temple Youzhu believed it or not, he asked with interest: "What about you, aren't you going to take action?"
"Wait a little longer." Kuonji Yuju silently shook her head: "Aozaki Touko's goal is the fifth method, so attacking Aoko is nothing more than testing whether she has completed the inheritance."
"She won't use all her strength against Aoko, so in theory Aoko should be able to handle it."
"Indeed." Victor nodded after hearing this, and after thinking about it, he gave up the idea of attacking: "It's good to have some experience."
"After all, once Aozaki Touko confirms that the Fifth Law has not been inherited, the next step will be to launch a full-scale attack."
The first to be affected were the twenty or so magic nodes in Misaki City.
This is a giant magic system that the Aozaki family has deployed around the spiritual vein of the entire Misaki City. Through this large barrier, any magical behavior within Misaki City cannot be concealed from the managers of the Aozaki family.
Moreover, it is also a huge magic workshop in itself, a giant device that uses the entire Misaki City as its own magic workshop.
If Aozaki Touko wants to completely take back her things, whether she wants to move around in Misaki City or return to the Aozaki family's old house, she must first break through this system.
In a sense, this is a difficult, time-consuming and laborious task.
During this period of time, Victor has enough time to study how to peek into the fifth method.
……
While the two were talking, the battle below was still going on.
Aozaki Aoko's fighting style is as simple and crude as ever. Although she has very strong athletic ability, she still chooses the most direct close combat, and then mixes in the so-called magic bullets.
This was her ideal state at the beginning.
However - just as she took the opportunity to dodge the curse bullet attack when the puppet raised its other arm and shot at her in the same posture, a sharp pain suddenly occurred, accompanied by several sparks of magical power, splashing on her arm.
"what?"
The magic didn't work.
As a result, the magic circuits in his entire right arm seemed to have lost all feeling!
Being calculated.
The sneak attack at the beginning was not just a blunt attack!
In an instant, before Aozaki Aoko had time to think about this, she heard the puppet opposite her hum and unleash a real killing move.
That is chanting.
"Vivimus in putris in inferos.
(I grew in my sleep and rotted alone in the soil)
Hodie mea obit die,et mea natus obire.”
(Today is my destiny, my birth day. Then, let’s meet.)
The chant called Magic Words.
Lines of magic power, along with the buzzing lips of the puppet and the flashing red light in its eyes, kept leaping and outlining in the air.
"Mea anima mea future necataeram.
(As long as my life lasts, my future will only be about killing.)
Manes definire ambiguous est.
(I am the dead, and the offer of life has long been blurred.)
Te odi,et tea in somuium ipsa.”
(I hate you, I love you. Please, let us meet in our dreams.)
As the other party chanted, symbols like shackles crawled out from the burning pain on the back and spread madly to Aozaki Aoko's entire arm.
curse.
And it’s not just an ordinary curse, it’s a targeted curse that needs to be chanted and cast continuously, similar to a ritual spell.
Severe pain continued to come from my arm, and the flow of magic power had been completely interrupted.
At this time, Aozaki Aoko completely understood a fact, that is, she is now... seems to be no different from an ordinary person.
"What? This is..."
She was a little panicked, but more of her was indignation and a fucked-up feeling.
For a simple-minded girl who is currently only good at using magic cannons to "fight head-on"...
Isn't it a bit too much to fight against curses now? !
She was filled with indignation and expressed the same feelings as Victor who was chased by Liz. Unfortunately, unlike Victor who was in a desperate situation but still had the ability to resist, she was just the opposite - no matter what, she could not conclude that she still had any possibility of resistance.
So she simply cursed a few times in her heart, then left as quickly as possible.
"Why are you standing there, run away!"
At the same time, she didn't even forget about Shizuki Sojuro who was standing there in a daze. She grabbed his wrist and ran into the mirror maze.
This made the two people who were watching the show in the dark raise their eyebrows slightly and look at each other.
……
But how can an ordinary person outrun a combat weapon puppet?
Aozaki Aoko endured the pain in her back and arms and ran madly on the road full of mirrors.
Behind, Aozaki Touko's doll was chasing slowly. In fact, it, or rather she, was not in a hurry.
Because the curse has taken effect, no matter how far away...
Escape no matter how.
No one can escape from her pursuit.
So, a few minutes later, after finishing her conversation with Shizuki Sojuro, Aozaki Aoko gritted her teeth and looked at the doll in front of her with anger on her face.
Just now, she once again checked the so-called "curse" on her arm and tried to fight against it.
Then, she discovered that this magic, in every aspect, was consistent with the "technique of bullying" that Victor had described to her when he taught her.
A preliminary curse activated by magic power to disrupt the opponent's magic circuits.
This will cause the opponent's magic circuit to short-circuit - Aozaki Aoko's current state is short-circuited. Although it is not a serious situation like Kenneth's whole body short-circuited + runaway, which caused him to be disabled, but even if it is a general magic circuit short-circuit, it is also a very serious condition. But the problem is... this is not the effect of the opponent's technique.
In other words, the opponent's chanting is actually just a link to one's own magic circuit, and then exerts an influence - interfering with the flow of magic power.
This is an extremely basic method. In Victor's words... the obstruction technique is just the beginning of the basics. It is only effective for half-baked people who have just debuted, and the benefits are only difficult to detect.
If it's someone at the level of Kuonji Yuju or Victor, this level of interference can be bounced off with just a little effort.
It can even be countered, because fundamentally speaking, connecting to other magicians' circuits is as dangerous as showing one's own heart - only when bullying the weak can one easily block the opponent's magic circuits completely, or even manipulate them to the point of short circuiting...
and so……
Obviously, her sister who had been away from home for a long time was treating her like a complete rookie, and the most uncomfortable thing was...
She was struck.
Chapter 61: The Fairy Tale Magic of Yuju Kuonji
Aozaki Aoko felt indignant, and the familiar in her chest was heating up. She knew that this was a reaction to the fact that Kuonji Yuju was nearby and approaching rapidly.
She, or rather they, were nearby, and her safety was not actually a problem...
As long as she is willing to admit defeat and shout for help...
But the problem is... I really don't want to accept this.
No one wants to admit that they are bad.
Especially someone like Aozaki Aoko who is inherently arrogant.
She gritted her teeth gently, ignoring the daze of Shizuki Sojuro beside her, and thought seriously about countermeasures, while the puppet opposite finally launched an attack again.
The curse bullet slowly condensed in front of the opponent's eyes. Unlike Aoko's bright blue magic bullet, the opponent's magic base color was a red light that reminded people of resentment.
“Cursed Bullet…?!”
A flash of light, faster than an outstretched arm.
There was no way, no time to dodge, Aozaki Aoko could only pour out her magic power in an instant, unfolding a barrier like thick fog. It was not some sophisticated magic, but simply the use of magic power to form a certain degree of defense project.
The flying spell bullet hit the thick fog and disappeared in an instant, but the barrier-like magic power suddenly dissipated like a heat wave, emitting a buzzing sound.
The expanded magic power is actually very wasteful to use, but for Qingzi now, it is at least an effective means of defense. Apart from this, there is no other way.
