It can't be delayed too long, otherwise, Aozaki Touko's magic workshop will inevitably produce puppets continuously.
So, at nine o'clock in the evening of this day -
The campus of Misaki High School fell into deathly silence.
Because it was winter vacation, even though the lights in the city were flickering at night, the woods surrounding the school building were still silent.
Frankly speaking, if it weren't for Golden Wolf's honesty, no one would have thought that the other party would put the magic workshop right under Aoko's nose.
The wooden wall isolates the noise from the street, blocks the moonlight and allows the shadows to spread.
Aozaki Orange's workshop is located on the hill behind the school building.
She was startled by the unexpected visit and stood in the center of the workshop.
"You are so impatient! It has not even been 72 hours since our last communication."
She sighed, looking at the four people in front of her.
Victor, Shizuki Sojuro, Aozaki Aoko, Kuonji Yuju.
Oh, there is also a beast in wolf form, quietly following everyone.
Without thinking, I know who leaked my location.
As expected, Shizuki Sojuro came, and there was still a trace of spirituality on his body. New magic? He hadn't mastered it yet.
She evaluated in her heart, and at the same time felt more and more that her judgment might have been wrong.
Is it true that Shizuki Sojuro is a key part of the other party's plan?
She looked at Victor, who was wearing a mask as usual, and nothing could be seen in his calm eyes.
"Ugh."
Sighing, Orange finally looked at the guy he was fighting against.
His body was wrapped in bandages. Although he had the bonus of magic power and conjuration, he was still a long way from fully recovering.
In this situation, do we have to force ourselves to fight in advance?
"You are forcing your body like this. What should I do with you, Aoko?"
Subconsciously, Qingzi wanted to retort her with something like "At least it's enough to deal with you without the Golden Wolf."
But in the end I endured it.
Now is not the time to be arrogant.
Victor quietly watched the two people confronting each other, and silently left the place with Youzhu and the golden wolf.
They are retreating.
Then, they established the barrier tacitly.
……
Soon, on the empty, snow-covered forest plain, only the two sisters were left standing facing each other.
The two camps were about 30 meters apart.
While the two were facing off, Yuzu was observing Orange's surroundings.
She didn't notice any ambushes around Orange.
So was she really going to fight the injured Aoko and Arizuma alone - or was it because she didn't expect their sudden attack, so no help arrived?
But no matter what, having no ambush would be the ideal situation.
As expected, if you want to take the initiative, you can't give the other party enough preparation.
After confirming the surrounding environment, Youzhu silently tilted his head towards Qingzi, indicating that he could attack.
Then, following the sudden rhythm of the magic circuit, Aoko launched her attack.
On the pure white snow, footprints suddenly appeared, and Qingzi's figure disappeared like the wind.
Invisibility magic, this is a fairly simple magic trick, a distortion of the refraction of the surrounding environment.
However, this simple magic is also quite easy to deal with. Whether it is footprints on the ground or using magic vision to act as a thermal imager, you can easily see the opponent's traces.
But if you say it is useless, that is not true, because invisibility is very effective against the evil eye.
The magic eye cannot deal with what it cannot see.
"A little clever, but not much."
Chengzi stood there, with a hint of sarcasm in her eyes. She easily determined Qingzi's location based on the footprints that kept appearing on the ground, and then...
Having determined the position where Qingzi wanted to attack, she raised the corner of her mouth slightly, raised her left hand and placed it flat on her chest.
In an instant, the flickering magic power collided to produce azure sparks, and the glowing runes were quickly carved out by her.
"SWEL——"
The footprints on the snow quickly stopped approaching, but it was obviously too late.
When it comes to the mastery of magic, Aozaki Touko has a lot of say.
In just less than a second, Aozaki Touko had completed the carving of the rune.
The rushing air is like a fuse that sends sparks flying.
Chi!
The flames swept up and quickly enveloped Qingzi's invisible position, forming a human-shaped flame shape.
At that moment, she seemed to see Qingzi falling on the snow with a wail, rolling around, her body being burned.
The power generated by runes is generally one level higher than modern magic, so the temperature of the flame rises very quickly and soon burns the human figure to ashes.
"Hmph." Orange snorted coldly and looked at Youzhu in the distance.
She knew she seemed to have been tricked a little.
When she found that person falling to the ground without any resistance, she knew that it was not Qingzi.
"Even after engraving the contract, you still resorted to rogue means to interfere with the game. That's really too much, Yuzu."
The contract only stipulates that an individual cannot participate in the war, but it does not restrict the other party from giving or lending their own equipment or familiars before signing the contract.
Orange was a little annoyed. Although this kind of thing was somewhat expected, she still didn't expect that the other party would not pretend at all from the beginning and use it without hesitation.
The so-called contract loophole.
"This is the original purpose of the contract, Orange."
Hearing this, Victor, who was standing on the tree, smiled and explained nonchalantly that according to legend, the first to create contracts were demons and devils, and the fundamental purpose of their creation of contracts was to use lies called "rules" to deceive.
Therefore, when two hostile parties sign a contract, both parties should understand it.
The fight had already begun at that time.
The signing of the contract meant that both parties started looking for loopholes at the same time, so Victor and Youzhu not only used their means as a matter of course, they were even quite certain that the other party would definitely use this aspect to gain an advantage.
snort!
Hearing this, Aozaki Touko snorted coldly and swept her eyes across the audience.
If the person just now was not Aoko, but a substitute.
So, what about the real Qingzi?
Soon, she looked towards the place where Qingzi first disappeared.
Yes, there she is!
She was slightly stunned, and immediately understood the other party's routine.
She was indeed invisible, but her body did not move. Instead, she stood still and started chanting.
At this moment, a green circular magic circle was flashing there.
Surrounding the unknown figure, the fourth section of the magic seal is about to be activated.
Big magic?!
You are really cruel, Qingzi.
You're going to use such a majestic force right away?!
Did Beowulf tell you that? I'm not good at large-scale magic and defense...
No, there is no need for Beo, Yuju has known this all along.
Know your weaknesses.
----------------------
Happy New Year! !
Chapter 84: Humanity? What is that?
Aozaki Touko is good at the detailed operation of magic.
Coupled with her research on Rune magic, she had long since given up on the so-called application of great magic.
After all, big magic is slow and requires a lot of materials, which is completely unsuitable for Orange's "pragmatism".
However, even though she had never learned magic with more than two sections, it did not mean that she had no ability to resist this kind of magic. On the contrary, she had rich experience in...interrupting this kind of complicated magic.
"——EYWZ!"
The bright rune was carved again, and the light like the sun shone out of nowhere, instantly revealing the invisible Qingzi from his invisibility.
The next second, her magic eye began to work.
Reflecting and amplifying layer by layer, this is why she is good at using instantaneous magic. The release of large-scale magic is slow, and the burden of amplification is not something her Thousand Layer Magic Eyes can bear. But small magic is different.
Instantaneously, if one exerts all one's strength, it can be amplified thousands of times in a split second, and its power is no less than that of a ceremonial spell.
The only drawback may be that it requires a magic eye to capture it.
Youzhu naturally knew this weakness.
So, at the moment when the opponent showed his magic eye, the space in front of Aoko was distorted. That was the backup plan she had arranged long before the battle. Obviously, in terms of being fully prepared, Aozaki Aoko had at least passed the test.
Her figure seemed to be obscured by the thick fog of the night. No matter how hard Aozaki Touko looked, she could not catch sight of her figure.
"...?"
Aozaki Touko frowned, and became a little angry: "One substitute is not enough, you even took out the Mirror of Nap. You really planned to deal with me! Youzhu!!"
What infuriated her the most was not that the other party repeatedly used this method to violate the rules of the contract, because even if most of Jiuyuan Temple Yuju's familiars could be loaned out, it seemed easy to cheat, but in fact it was not. Most of her familiars required an extremely special "dream" system as a basis, just like the Rose Hound needed the Moon's Feast to pave the way.
Aozaki Aoko cannot use most of the Ploys in fairy tale magic.
But the substitution trick just now and the nap mirror in front of him were different. They were not high-standard relics left to Youzhu by his mother, but things that Youzhu tried to make himself.
And this is also what made her angry. The Nap Mirror was the joint work of her and Youzhu when they were practicing magic together!
The work that I completed with my friend eventually became a weapon for my friend to use against me.
No matter how she thought about it, the scene before her eyes was described as a burlesque opera, and she was the clown whose nose fell off.
Orange looked angrily at Youzhu who was standing next to Victor on the branch, but the latter's calm eyes showed no fluctuations.
Once he made his position clear, even Qingzi would kill him without hesitation.
She is such a witch.
At this time, Qingzi, who was well protected by the Nap Mirror, had already started loading the Storm Magic Bullets.
Multiple combinations of magic circles and large-scale magic projects with more than three sections have been completed.
Aoko exposed her right arm, and the glowing mark immediately appeared and quickly became three-dimensional, constantly lighting up, assembling, and then aiming at Aozaki Touko.
In a normal magic battle, the outcome has already been decided.
Aoko made good use of her advantage, which was that she could rely on the inherited magic seal to perform great magic that she had not yet mastered.
Aozaki Touko, who also had not learned any great magic, had her prepared countermeasures interrupted.
Magic with more than three sections is very powerful - the minimum requirement for an inherent barrier is only four sections, and the minimum requirement for a ritual spell is to arrange multiple three-section large magic to form a complex ritual spell.
Not to mention, what Aozaki Aoko is using now is a great magic with wind-attribute attack properties that is simply derived from the Aozaki family's magic seal.
