“————!”

Seeing Aize, who was close at hand, raising the dark magic sword in his hand, Irene’s reaction was fierce.

Her red pupils shrank sharply, like a wild beast about to go crazy, and her face became extremely ferocious.

The blood sickle in her hand vibrated, as if it was also going crazy.

Under such circumstances, the all-purpose crystals on the blood sickle of dominance were brighter than ever before.

“Ah!”

Just as Irene was about to go berserk, a short exclamation came into her ears.

This short exclamation stimulated Irene and made her wake up from the edge of madness.

“Priscilla Urseth, the school badge is damaged.”

Before Irene looked at the source of the sound, the external mechanical sound of the self-operating processing system connected to the school badge sounded above the stage.

“Priscilla!”

Irene saw that Priscilla, who was in the back, slumped on the ground, and seemed to be frightened.

The school badge on her chest was cut in half and fell to the ground.

In front of her, the silver-haired girl was slowly putting away her sword.

Toudou Qilin, who was originally suppressed by the gravity of the Tyrant Blood Scythe, immediately regained her freedom after Aize used the power of the Black Furnace Magic Sword to burn off the gravity of the entire stage, and ran silently towards Priscilla who had been behind.

In order to protect Priscilla, Irene also set up a gravity barrier around her, but it was also burned clean by the power of the Black Furnace Magic Sword.

Toudou Qilin did not miss this opportunity and resolutely cut off Priscilla's school badge.

Then——

"clang!"

As the Black Furnace Magic Sword in Aize's hand chopped down, the Tyrant Blood Scythe in Irene's hand, who was forced to be distracted, was also chopped off.

The bloody sickle blade flew into the air, spun there, and then fell.

A hand caught it.

Unfortunately, it was not Irene's hand.

"Buzz——"

The Tyrant Blood Scythe, sensing this, vibrated violently, as if it was angered.

But...

"Be quiet."

Holding the handle of the Tyrant Blood Scythe tightly, Aize whispered a whisper that only this pure Xinghuang-style weapon could hear.

"————"

Instantly, the Tyrant Blood Scythe was quiet.

No, it should be said that it was terrified.

No one noticed that at this moment, a series of gold-plated lines appeared on Aize's hand holding the Tyrant Blood Scythe.

These gold-plated lines were so conspicuous, but no one could find it, as if as long as it didn't want to be seen, no one could detect its existence.

The gold-plated lines flowed to the Tyrant Blood Scythe, engraved on its body, and penetrated into the purple Wanying Jingjing, making the originally weird, evil, and bloody Tyrant Blood Scythe feel like a pariah who had met the king, panicking and fearful.

Thus, the gold-plated pattern was smoothly imprinted in the universal crystal of the Tyrant Blood Scythe and sank into it.

Azer raised a very faint arc at the corner of his mouth, and then threw the Tyrant Blood Scythe away.

It was complicated to say, but in fact, from the time when the Tyrant Blood Scythe was chopped off by Azer, to the time when it fell into Azer's hands and was thrown away by Azer, the whole process took less than two seconds.

Irene still maintained the posture of the weapon being bounced away, watching Azer's pupils dilate.

"Buzz!"

With the vibration sound, the pitch-black magic sword slashed again.

Irene, who lost the Tyrant Blood Scythe, could not make any effective resistance, and the magic sword instantly cut through the school emblem on her chest, cutting a lava-like red mark on the school emblem.

"Irene Urseth, the school emblem is damaged."

The mechanical judgment sound appeared for the second time.

Then, it appeared for the third time.

"The game is over."

"The winners are Aze and Toudou Qilin."

When such a verdict appeared above the entire stage, cheers broke out.

"It appears! The winner of the semi-finals!"

"In a split second of attack and defense! Aze and Toudou successfully took the school badge of the Urseth sisters! They won the semi-finals!"

"The first team to advance to the finals has appeared!"

"They are - Aze and Toudou Qilin from Seidoukan Academy!"

Accompanied by the passionate shouts of the live broadcaster, the whole audience cheered and applauded.

Even Julis and Amagiri Ayato in the exclusive box of the Seidoukan Academy Student Union seemed to be relieved and applauded Aze and Toudou Qilin.

Claudia smiled and clapped softly.

"Senior! We won!"

On the stage, Toudou Qilin, who had put away her sword, was no longer a swordsman. With a surprised expression, she ran towards Aze.

"…………"

Opposite Aize, the red light in Irene's eyes had disappeared.

Looking at the school badge that fell to the ground, she had a look of loss on her face.

She lost.

Even though she had made so many preparations in advance, replenished so much fuel for the Tyrant Blood Scythe, and exerted a far greater power than before, she still lost.

This loss also means that her mission...failed.

"Tsk..."

In the student union office of Leiwolf Black Academy, a short and fat young man sitting in the dim shadow looked at the scene on the window and smacked his lips.

"Is it a failure after all?"

There was no disappointment or anger in his tone, as if he had been mentally prepared for this in advance, showing a calmness that was different from his appearance.

Staring at the magic sword user who was welcoming his little teammate who was running happily in the live broadcast, the look in the short and fat young man's eyes was gloomy.

There was no way, the opponent's control of the Black Furnace Magic Sword once again refreshed his cognition.

At that moment, the whole stage was turned into a furnace, and the power of the magic sword was turned into reality, which made the short and fat young man's original fear and vigilance in his heart rise to the highest level.

"... Forget it, it can be regarded as some gains."

Although the mission failed and the goal was not achieved, at least the true strength of the magic sword user was tested, and the degree to which the Black Furnace Magic Sword was controlled in the hands of the opponent was also seen.

"It is not appropriate to continue to attack this kid at present."

The short and fat young man's thoughts turned rapidly, and finally came to such a conclusion.

With the opponent's strength and the power of the Black Furnace Magic Sword, if he wants to really get rid of the opponent, even if he wants to use the real trump card.

This is not something that can be done casually, especially when the opponent has advanced to the finals and the world's attention is focused on him. Any slight movement may be noticed by someone with a ulterior motive.

This is not what the short and fat young man wants to see.

So...

"Let's wait and see for the time being."

After the short and fat young man made a decision, he no longer paid attention to this matter, closed the window, and hid his body completely in the darkness.

…………

Sirius Dome, lounge.

After winning the victory, Aze and Dao Teng Qilin accepted an interview arranged by the official, and then both returned here to relax.

"Thank you for your hard work, senior."

Dao Teng Qilin obediently brought a cold drink to Aze and handed it to him.

"Thank you, and you worked hard, Qilin."

Aze took the cold drink and smiled back.

Both of them were obviously in a good mood, especially Dao Teng Qilin, who looked very happy.

"Only the last step left, right, senior?"

Dao Teng Qilin was happy and nervous.

After winning this game and advancing to the finals, the only obstacle that stood in front of Aize and Dao Teng Qilin was the last final.

"Don't be nervous." Aize saw the excitement and anxiety in the girl's heart, patted her shoulder, and comforted her: "The final is tomorrow, at least we can still relax now, right?"

"Yes." Dao Teng Qilin relaxed her shoulders as he said, and smiled: "I just don't know who our opponent tomorrow will be."

Aize smiled but said nothing.

Dao Teng Qilin didn't know who her opponent would be tomorrow, but Aize had expected it.

He had said long ago that the opponent would be the biggest opponent of the two of them in this Phoenix Star Martial Festival.

"Would you like to watch the afternoon game?"

Although he said so, Aize still invited Dao Teng Qilin.

"Yeah!"

Dao Teng Qilin naturally couldn't refuse, and nodded vigorously and agreed.

The two stayed in the lounge until noon, and only went to the box of Xingdaoguan Academy after lunch to watch the semi-finals in the afternoon.

The result was not beyond Aize's expectations.

"The game is over."

"The winners are Amagiri Ayato \u0026 Julis Alexia von Lisfit."
