Shape Moon, The Road to the Magician

On the outskirts of Misaki City, Kuonji's house.

The witch's mansion.

The sudden flames ignited the nearby forest, and the animals and pedestrians in the forest were roasted into charred corpses.

Forest fires came out of nowhere, the air exploded, and the black smoke rising into the sky made people breathless.

Just a few minutes.

This place has turned into a flaming hell.

Or call it purgatory, which would be more appropriate.

The two men who had just crawled out of the river under the bridge were a little confused, and they couldn't help but be stunned when they looked at the forest fire burning above their heads.

Her last memory was still there, but in an instant, the sudden flames in her vision engulfed everything.

Originally, I was just wandering around Misaki City with Aozaki Orange as usual, looking for traces of the Dead Apostles along the way.

Because Xia Yuan went out alone to clean up the Dead Apostles today, and Erquette also followed. With their mobility, it was difficult to keep up with the speed of these two guys, so she and Aozaki Orange went to the city as usual. Just take a stroll and prepare to go back later.

Originally, everything went smoothly, development continued as usual, and no enemies were encountered.

Until Aozaki Aoko sent her a message, saying that traces of the Dead Apostles were found near the Kuonji Uzu residence, and that they might want to take any action, so she went back to take a look.

Regarding this news, Aozaki Orange and the two rituals didn't pay much attention to it at first. After all, Orange knew that if a dead disciple had the idea of the Kuonji family witch, Aoko, that idiot, would definitely run back to support her immediately.

With the abilities of Aoko and Kuonji Yuju, there would be almost no problem.

However, Liang Li still thought it would be better to go to their place and have a look. After all, just wandering around in the city is just wandering. It would be better to go to Aoko's place to have a look, maybe you can actually meet a Death Apostle.

She also wanted to wield the blade and cut these disgusting guys into pieces.

Aozaki Orange didn't refuse, so he drove her to the witch's mansion.

What happened next, Liang Lili remembered that when she and Cheng Zi were driving into the forest, they were suddenly attacked by many dead apostles in a charred corpse state that appeared out of nowhere.

Although these opponents were not strong, they easily solved them all, but...two strange figures appeared out of nowhere on the road.

Before they had time to understand the situation, they were attacked by the terrifying high temperature released by the guy. The terrifying flames could melt the rocks in an instant and ignite the entire forest.

The two people, who were completely defenseless against the flames, had no choice but to retreat in embarrassment.

They had successfully evacuated, but the two guys didn't catch up.

But... she remembered that she was blown up into the sky when Cheng Zi drove away and crossed the bridge. That hateful guy actually planted a bomb.

At this point, she finally recalled what happened.

Aozaki Orange was blown to pieces by the bomb and died tragically in front of her, but she survived under the protection of Avalon.

The two rituals reached out and touched the looming golden light on their chests.

The intense pain that her body responded to made her grit her teeth.

Although Avalon saved her life, the flames and explosions still caused great harm to her.

She could feel that large areas of burns had appeared on her body surface, and there should be many broken bones inside her body, but the Avalon in her body was helping her heal.

Too careless!

Being put in this situation, Liang Si could not help but feel a little angry and remorseful.

He was actually ambushed on the road, so he could have been more cautious.

If it were his original self, he would never have been ambushed so easily.

Because recently I often followed him and Qingzi, and entered this mysterious world under their protection.

You just killed a few Dead Apostles, you just got a few words of praise from him, you just participated in a crusade against the twenty-seven ancestors of the Dead Apostles, are you starting to feel self-righteous?

Without his own help, Xia Yuan could still easily solve these problems, but without him, he was reduced to such a miserable situation in the blink of an eye.

If it weren't for the scabbard he gave her hidden in her body, she would be dead now.

Aozaki Orange has a way to resurrect, but what about herself? Can you just obediently pay for your own arrogance with your life?

Thinking of this, a flash of uneasiness flashed in her eyes, but more of her emotions were...complaints and unwillingness towards herself.

With anger, she used healing magic to heal the wounds at the riverside, and the rest was just a matter of letting Avalon repair itself.

Then she threw away the shattered mobile phone, picked up the roasted black mithril knife, and stood up.

Look towards the direction where the black smoke is rising in the distance.

That side is also in the direction of the Yuju family's residence at Kuonji Temple.

His eyes moved slightly, as if he had made some kind of decision.

Ice blue eyes flashed in the dark night, she made up her mind and hurried over.

This time, there must be an end.

I must kill you!!

……

……

The residence of the Kuonji family.

As a fairy tale witch of this generation, Yuju Kuonji is in danger at this moment.

When she sent familiars in the city to search for traces of dead apostles as usual, she noticed many strange magic fluctuations suddenly appearing near the witch's mansion.

For safety reasons, Kuonji Yuju decisively contacted his best friend Aoko to come back to help, and then concentrated on the defense of the surrounding workshops.

But the result was that the defense of the magic workshop that she was proud of exploded again after Xia Yuan.

The opponent didn't play according to the routine at all. Many dead apostles in the state of charred corpses appeared out of nowhere carrying high-explosive bombs and transformed into self-destructing infantry and rushed into her workshop.

Then there were continuous explosions, and the sky-high flames blasted a hole in her magic workshop.

Then some pale Death Apostles in white suits were also very skilled. Faced with her own magic, they were able to easily disintegrate with their strong cooperation, and even pushed her into danger.

If Aoko hadn't returned to defense quickly enough, the consequences would have been disastrous.

But there was an endless queue of Death Apostles emerging from the sea of fire outside.

This was no ordinary fire, but a curse of flames. These armies of Dead Apostles, who seemed to have been burned thousands of times in the incinerator, appeared continuously near Yuju's magic workshop at Kuonji Temple like a hundred ghosts marching through the night.

There are all kinds of animals and humans. They are like the evil spirits in the night of a hundred ghosts, walking around the world, spreading fire and fear.

He raised his hand to release the magic bullet and smashed several dead disciples who rushed towards him. Aoko's face turned ugly.

With so many Dead Apostles, how many people have been transformed? Where did these monsters come from?

Although she was near this forest, Aozaki Aoko had already figured out what was going on in Misaki City.

This attack was premeditated. It not only set the entire forest on fire, but also set up an isolation barrier nearby. Not only that, it also cut off the surrounding signals.

It prevents them from noticing the situation in the urban area, and also prevents Xia Yuan and the church in the urban area from discovering the problems on their side in time.

"How desecrating life!"

Qingzi's eyes were burning with anger.

His fingers turned into finger guns.���Harvesting the lives of these dead disciples without mercy.

With her magic ability, it is naturally easy to deal with these low-level dead disciples. It won't take long to deal with them all and go to help Xia Yuan and the others.

Of course Roja knew this, so he specially prepared a small gift for the fifth magician this time, which was enough to make them anxious and unable to escape.

Click, click—!!!

This is the sound of the earth shaking.

Huge green vines burst out of the ground, lifting up the surrounding forest and flames.

There seemed to be something huge in the ground that was constantly being torn apart. Countless branches were constantly pulling out and began to capture the living creatures in this forest.

Many Dead Apostles and animals fleeing in the forest were entangled in the vines because they had no time to escape, and then they sucked out all the nutrients and turned into ashes.

This scene made the nearby Aozaki Aoko and Kuonji Yuju widen their eyes.

They suddenly thought of a possibility

"Could this thing be……"

"Come back soon! Rosehound!!"

Seeing the sudden appearance of the behemoth, Kuonji Yuju quickly called back the rose hound present.

It was a monster that appeared in the world every fifty years. It was also not something that humans could defeat. Whenever it appeared, it would bring monsters with it. Come to the endless sea of corpses.

Its name is Fu Hailin Anaxiu!

It is a monster that cannot be destroyed and destroyed. However, its movements are obviously monitored by the Holy Church.

Every time it appears, it is under the control of the church, but this time, it was not noticed.——

"What is going on? Why does this kind of monster appear in this place?!"

Qingzi and Yuzhu, who are well-informed, of course recognized the true face of this forest.

Fu Hailin Anaxiu, the seventh of the twenty-seven ancestors of the Dead Apostles. This is a creature that can think and hunt independently. Approximately It appears every fifty years, attacks the gathered humans, and uses its huge magic power to nourish the fruits growing in its depths.

If it is not stopped, it will only be a matter of time before it blood-sacrifice the entire city. Why did the monster appear silently in the Misaki City area? Why didn't the church make any moves?

Someone must have done something in the dark!

Roja?

He is indeed the biggest suspect.

Monster, does Roja really have that kind of ability?

Who is doing it secretly?

Forget it, let’s forget about it. They don’t have time to think about this kind of problem now.

If they let this guy. If it continues to expand, the consequences will be disastrous.

They can escape, but the mansion behind them and the ordinary people in the suburbs of Misaki City cannot. If they don't stop Fu Hailin Anashu here, it will be completely lost now. To support Xia Yuan, they even have to wait for support from Xia Yuan.
