Shape Moon, The Road to the Magician

Location: Misaki City, old school building.

Time: Near midnight.

Returning to this venue that left a profound memory for him more than ten years ago, Chengzi inevitably felt a little emotional.

She leaned against the railing and lit a lady's cigarette, and slowly exhaled the smoke. Beo, the golden wolf who came with her, had a hamburger in his mouth and was playing with the game console that Cheng Zi had just bought for him. He also followed her. She just silently turned the mithril dagger given to her by Xia Yuan and looked up at the night view of the city.

She is also looking forward to the upcoming drama.

Can we finally see what this guy is really capable of?

She looked towards the figure above.

Then, Xia Yuan, who was now on the high platform, opened his eyes slightly, and then jumped down from the high place.

"Is everything done?"

Seeing him coming down from the high platform, Aang Qi Chengzi stepped forward and asked.

"It has been completed. The challenge has been issued to her in your name, and I have left them about two hours to discuss countermeasures."

"You are really generous by leaving two hours of preparation time. If it were me, I would definitely give Qingzi a hard time and make her rush over from home non-stop."

Aozaki Orange exhaled a cloud of white smoke, with a hint of sarcasm on his face.

"But it’s okay, Aoko is prone to getting into trouble when an unexpected situation arises. If you make things so big, she’s probably going crazy now."

"There is nothing we can do about it. If we leave that big barrier behind, it will be a big trouble no matter whether it is the subsequent battle or the search for the Dead Apostles."

"After all, if there is a big barrier pressing down on your head, those guys who hide their heads and tails will not be willing to show up easily."

"oh? Then why don't you try using the Aozaki Great Barrier to find your target? Now we have occupied half of it. With your methods, with a little effort, you should be able to capture the entire great barrier, right?"

"There is no need. My opponent is not the ordinary Dead Apostles, but the ancestor among them, and maybe even their princess. I still don’t know how much will be involved this time."

"At their level, it would be impossible to be observed by the Aozaki family's great barrier if they carefully concealed themselves, so breaking the original veil and looking directly for the essence inside was the best option.

Xia Yuan, who was explaining casually, did not forget to glance at Chengzi, and said slowly:"Although the structure of this big barrier is troublesome, as long as the structure is not destroyed, it is not that difficult to repair and occupy.

I will still do it when the matter is over.

" Repair this barrier intact"

"If it's out of guilt, it doesn't matter at all. Anyway, the witch will definitely find a way to solve it later. Even if you don't repair the barrier, the only people who will deal with the trouble in the end will be Aoko and the witch."

Chengzi's tone was as full of indifferent emotions as the words she spoke.

After so many years of wandering, she has long lost any feelings for the city she calls her hometown.

In response, Xia Yuan just shook his head slightly, not saying anything. Go pick up the oranges

"Do you really not need our help in the next battle? Do you really want to have a one-on-one duel with Aoko?"

"Yes, fighting the fifth magician is a very rare thing, and I'm looking forward to it"

"What you're looking forward to is just the Aozaki family's fifth method, right?"

Chengzi snorted slightly.

"I didn't expect you to talk like this."

"But what about the fairy tale witch? If you want to duel with Aoko, Kuonji Yuju will definitely not sit idly by, although with your strength, it will definitely not be a problem to deal with her. But being harassed by her fairy magic during battle is also very troublesome."

Hearing Chengzi's words, Xia Yuan nodded slightly and agreed with her statement.

"Indeed, it will be very troublesome if she is allowed to do whatever she wants. Of course, I am certain of the power that the pure-blooded witch possesses."

"Do you need me to help you deal with her?"

Aozaki Orange said:"Although I can't beat that monster sister, I am still one of the highest-ranking magicians awarded the crown level by the magic world. It won't be a problem to deal with that fairy tale witch."

"What's more, I still have Beo and Shiki here. Even the hound next to the witch will never be able to defeat us."

"Ouch! Is it our turn to appear? orange!"

Beo suddenly stuck out his head, his expression eager to try.

"No, I have my own arrangements for the witch. At that time, you two only need to go to the outskirts to pick her up."

"Have your own arrangements? You also found a dream helper to help you deal with that witch?"

Cheng Zi was a little surprised.

"Who to pick up? What's the meaning? What is Yuan talking about?"

Beo tilted his head and was a little confused, showing a not very smart look. Chengzi followed Xia Yuan's fingers and looked at the top of the tall building in the distance. After seeing something, Chengzi suddenly understood. , couldn’t help grinning

"I see, what you arranged is really unexpected. I feel that the witch from Kuonji Temple is definitely trying to get your way."

"It's just taking advantage of the magician's inertia"

"By the way, now that you have met Aoko, what do you think of her?"

"She is very strong. The fifth magician can feel that she is very extraordinary just after meeting her for the first time. She is really very talented."

Xia Yuan gave the evaluation without hesitation.

"That's it...it seems like she has improved a lot during this time compared to the past."

Hearing Xia Yuan's evaluation of Qingzi, Aang Qi Chengzi was a little irritated.

"I can't beat her even more... cheating things like magic are really annoying"

"After all, it is a miraculous power. If it cannot reach this level, it will not be called a miracle."

"You're right...after all, this is magic.……"

Chengzi sighed for a while, then turned his head to look at Xia Yuan, and asked seriously:"Facing Qingzi now, are you confident that you can beat her?"

"will win."

Xia Yuan just smiled slightly and answered Chengzi's question with certainty, without any timidity in his eyes.

"After all, I promised you that I would help you find your place."

"On the contrary, I also hope that your sister can adjust her fighting state quickly. After all, the person I want to fight is the fifth magician in full state."

"You are really confident. Cheng

Zi couldn't help but chuckled:"Then I can leave it to you, the third magician.""

"You have to be careful too, but don't die."

Liang Li looked at Xia Yuan and said seriously.

"Of course, I will win."

Xia Yuan also responded with a smile.

……

……

Instead of getting ready in the old school building, Xia Yuan and others quietly waited for the challenger to arrive.

On the other side, in Yuju's mansion of Kuonji Temple, the black-haired witch sitting on the sofa was obviously unable to calm down.

The unknown enemy was too powerful. Not only did that person smash the great barrier set up by the Aozaki family's grandfather, he also trampled on the defense she was proud of. In the end, even when she was thinking about countermeasures, she used magic projection to sneak into the mansion quietly.

A series of actions can be said to have severely damaged the witch. She has never suffered such a big loss in her entire life.

Either out of self-confidence or the kindness of the other party, that person actually reported his home to them.

The third magician, the opponent is a magician who controls the miracle of magic like Aoko. His strength is also an unreasonable monster. It is not difficult to see from the fact that he can break and occupy the big barrier.

However, the opponent's actions were too fast, and the method of restraining his own magic power was too perfect.

As a result, the large barrier covering Misaki City only detected Orange and missed the big fish.

As a result, they let the other party quietly touch the surroundings of the mansion, and then they smashed the fulcrum with lightning speed and exposed the flaw in the big barrier.

By the time they reacted, the progress of the matter was already difficult to change.

"There are five fulcrums in the Great Barrier. One of them was destroyed near the mansion yesterday. The fulcrum in the east was also occupied, and the other places also suffered varying degrees of damage. This led to the Great Barrier Destroyed by that person in one fell swoop"

"Otherwise, given the quality of the great barrier arranged by your grandfather, there is no way that it could be destroyed so easily by others, even if the other party is a magician. This shows that there must be an expert involved in this matter, and it has been planned for a long time. plan."

After the analysis was completed, Kuonji Yuju sighed quietly when she said this. Her words almost revealed that the insider was Aozaki Yuko.

These words also made Aoko even more anxious.

"Orange, that guy can really do anything! It is absolutely unforgivable to join forces with outsiders to destroy the legacy left by my grandfather!!"

"I understand how you feel. What Aozaki Orange did went too far. Compared with last time, this time it is obvious that he wants us to fight to the death."Kuuanji Yuju sighed.

"But now we are in big trouble. We are obviously on our home court, but the one who is surrounded and at a disadvantage is actually ourselves."

Hearing this, Qingzi frowned, her expression indescribably heavy.

The destruction of the Aosaki Great Barrier also had a great impact on her.

"The time is coming, how should we fight each other next? Although it's just a one-sided relationship, I can tell that the other party's strength is definitely not weaker than yours, Qingzi."

"This battle may be dangerous. Are you ready? may die……"

"What nonsense are you talking about, Youzhu. I had this awareness more than ten years ago. I have not made any progress in such a long time!"

Qingzi patted his chest and assured his best friend, and at the same time his fighting spirit became high.

"No, I just want to ask about your status. Now that I see that you are full of fighting spirit, I feel relieved. Then be ready, Qingzi, we are going to start a counterattack."

Youzhu put on her witch robe and prepared to set off immediately.

As a pure-blood witch, she was teased severely by the other party, and even let the other party sneak into her most cherished witch mansion.

What if this kind of thing didn't happen? If she regains her place, she won't be able to let it go easily. Therefore, Kuonji Yuju is still full of fighting spirit.

"Okay, Youzhu, let’s go fight each other together."

At this moment, Qingzi clenched his fists and was equally high in fighting spirit.

"No matter if the opponent is a first-ranked puppet master or a third-level magician, I will defeat them."

"We are the strongest!"

……

……

Time: Arrive at midnight.

Location: Old school building

"You really didn't listen to my advice, did you still come here with Aoko? The witch of the Kuonji family."

Xia Yuan, who is located in the high place of the old school building, looked down at the two people arriving slowly below. He couldn't help but narrowed his eyes slightly and said a little helplessly.

Although he had already guessed the result, he still hoped that she could retreat and not get involved. This trip into muddy waters

"Hello! Didn't you say you wanted to challenge me? Then come down quickly and fight me. If you lose, get out of Misaki City immediately!"

"oh? Do you seem confident? Miss Aoko."

Looking at Aozaki Aoko who was full of fighting spirit, Xia Yuan raised a smile on his lips.

"But in order to avoid some misunderstandings, Miss Qingzi, before the battle begins, I still have to tell you in advance that I am different from Cheng Zi. In this battle...you are the challenger."

After saying that, the extremely powerful magic power was released directly. The figure at the top looked down at the two people below, with unabashed fighting intent in his eyes.

"Do you really dare to say that no matter what you want to do? I will defeat you! Defeat you from the front with dignity and dignity!!"

Aozaki Aoko replied without any sign of weakness.

"Since we are both magicians, let’s show off! Don't involve other people!!"

"Um?"

Xia Yuan raised his eyebrows and leaned over to look at Qingzi opposite.

"Do you want to fight with me one on one without the witch beside you?"

"That’s right! Anyway, you are here for me, so let’s fight one-on-one here and don’t involve innocent people."

Hearing Xia Yuan's words, Aozaki Aoko nodded and admitted directly. She just wanted to have a head-to-head duel between magicians with Xia Yuan. Rather than taking Yuzhu on an adventure, she wanted to be alone.

If Chengzi is here, Aoko will naturally join hands with Youzhu. She will deal with this third magic user, and Youzhu will hold back her sister.

But right now, she really doesn't want to bring him the words of this person. Taking risks with his best friend, not to mention this is on the opponent's home court, who knows what risks will arise later.

"Qingzi, don't be ridiculous. According to the plan, if we fight together, we have a greater chance of winning.……"

Kuuanji Yuju wanted to dissuade Qingzi, but Xia Yuan's hand had already been raised at some point.

"In this case, I respect your choice. Or, that’s what I thought too"

"Even if you don't suggest it, I will let this witch lady temporarily withdraw."

Although there is no magic power, raising your hand this time is a signal, a bad signal.

【click——】

Before Youzhu finished speaking, the figure in black crawling on a tall building in the distance had already pulled the trigger. boom--!!

Accompanied by a dull gunshot, a special silver bullet had crossed a distance of a thousand meters in a moment and penetrated her chest.

She didn't have time to scream, but the fierce impact sent Kuonji Yuzu's petite body flying straight away. The special bullet melted directly when it came into contact with her body.

"Aoko……"

At this moment, Kuonji Yuju felt his eyes go white, sleepiness and exhaustion swept through his brain like a tide, and he lost consciousness in just a few breaths.

"There are beads!!"

The opponent acted too quickly and too suddenly.

The speed was so fast that they could hardly react. Before coming, Youzhu had already prepared as much as possible to deal with the enemy.

For this reason, she activated one of her three trump cards. The rose hound came to guard the surroundings to prevent them from being attacked by the golden wolf. The gray bird transformed from the Song of Sixpence hovered overhead to detect possible enemies around them. Even the dress on their body was clearly prepared for the attack. Magical measures, but...why? Why did it happen suddenly? The team fight between Aoko and Yuzu was split into a solo fight.

When Aoko heard the gunshot, They realized that the opponent was not using magic or magic at all, but a modern thermal weapon.

There was a sniper on the roof of the building far away, ready to kill the fairy tale witch at any time.

The greatest strength of the Master Killer is naturally to deal with those traditional magicians, and Kuonji Yuju is undoubtedly the most traditional magician.

Although there are many magic spells on the witch's robe, he obviously did not expect that the opponent would use thermal weapons.

When this happened, the rose hound who was following them secretly did not care to continue to assist Aoko in the next battle according to the plan arranged by its master, and could only run to Yuju Kuonji's side angrily to protect her safety.

"Damn it! What have you done?!"

Aozaki Aoko turned her head and roared angrily.

"Sorry, Miss Aoko, in order to prevent this witch from disturbing the rest of the battle, I have to ask her to leave first."

"Otherwise, she will be very dangerous in the next battle."

Quit?! Just for such a ridiculous reason, you hurt others.

Bastard! The guy in front of you is a bastard far beyond Orange, and you can never forgive him!!

"You despicable fellow!! Not only did you lie to me, but you actually dared to hurt Youzhu. I will definitely kill you this time!!"

If Chengzi's target is her, then no matter how many enemies there are, she will stop them all, but she absolutely cannot tolerate this kind of behavior that hurts her friends again and again.

The extremely angry Qingzi went completely berserk, with long scarlet hair in the dark Dancing with the wind in the night

"Loop·continuation——"

It was just a short mantra chanting, but it brought unimaginable huge changes to Qingzi.

The operation level of the body's magic circuit instantly reached hundreds or even thousands of times the normal efficiency, allowing her to easily reach her ultimate output.

The most terrifying thing is that such a crazy operating mode did not bring any signs of discomfort to Qingzi's body.

Countless circuits were amplified and intertwined, and the rising cyan flames were burning on her body like the anger in her heart. The dense blue magic circles overlapped and emerged on her fingertips, and then the extremely huge magic power began to gather.

"Mode conversion·Magic bullet projection——！！"

As Aoko's anger surged, the surging magic power was no longer under control, and cyan magic bullets with terrifying destructive power quickly formed in the magic circle at her fingertips.

"——emission!!"

Starting with these words, countless green raindrops fell from the night sky.

Then... the entire barrier began to tremble.
