The other party's confidence was felt by everyone at this moment.
Everyone's eyes were directed towards this confrontation.
Aozaki Aoko's preparations were still a little hasty, but facing the skull faintly emerging above the moon and the magic power that the opponent was constantly sucking back, she realized that the opponent had already begun to plan a counterattack.
She must hurry!
So, she pulled the trigger tentatively for the first time without hesitation.
boom! !
The magic cannon fired from the ground embraced the triple mark in front of it. The huge blue light burned the air and whistled through the sky.
And it was at that moment.
The cyan light penetrated the shadowy clouds, and while the scorching heat made a hissing sound, it was tightly blocked in front of a huge pale canopy, constantly stimulating boiling water vapor and forming new mist.
"Ice... ice?"
Aozaki Aoko was stunned for a moment as her blood was boiling due to the high-power magic, dizziness and the residual reaction force of the magic. The next second, she bit her lower lip.
Sure enough, it’s not that easy…
He showed his true form so easily, it was because he was so reckless...
Although she felt extremely unhappy about being looked down upon, a faint sense of sadness also emerged in her heart.
Is it really not possible?
That was almost the most powerful attack she had ever made.
But what if it happens right after the second one?
Without much thought, Aozaki Aoko continued to circulate her magic power and continued to gather it without hesitation.
Puff, puff.
The heart was wailing, reminding Aozaki Aoko that she was now performing an extremely dangerous act. There was also a burning sensation coming from other parts of her body. It was the overdraft of magic power and the necrosis of nerve endings caused by overload.
"Ah, ha—"
Don't underestimate me, you bastard!
In this situation, the second shot of blue light shot out straight out again, with a bang, proclaiming her determination.
only--
"——That block of ice, even if I use all my strength, I can't defeat it?!"
Seeing that her magic was still completely blocked by the ice as usual, and was slowly consumed by the fierce steam, she opened her eyes wide, as if extremely unwilling.
"how so……"
It is indeed a bit difficult.
In the dark paradise, Victor made a similar comment, and the first round of fighting between the two sides ended.
It ends with Aozaki Aoko's overdrawn look and the other party's relaxed and even playful expression.
Anyone can see the difference.
With Aozaki Aoko's current magic foundation, whether it is the magic power directly converted from the Great Source or the output power of the magic power in her body, it is too difficult to break the ice...
But.
Want to give up?
Victor smiled lightly, looked at Aozaki Aoko and pursed her lips in extreme dissatisfaction, and raised his arm again unwillingly.
The technique accelerated again.
As expected, he still fought back desperately.
"Then, second reminder."
Suddenly, Victor's voice sounded in Aozaki Aoko's ears like a whisper, which made her stunned when she was about to fire.
"Slow down, don't be impatient, the effect may be better."
Victor actually understood Aozaki Aoko's desperate mood to speed up the technique and release it.
After all, the oppressive feeling brought by the moon above her head was too strong. For this reason, Aozaki Aoko had to consider whether it was a price she could afford if she allowed the other party to complete the counterattack.
But in Victor's opinion, that's also the problem.
"Theoretically, the imaginary elements of Moon Oil are infinite, Qingzi, you can't fight a protracted war with it."
In a sense, this is actually a fateful showdown.
The first law and the fifth law happen to have conflicting and contradictory characteristics.
The fifth method inherited by Aozaki Aoko, although its manifestation includes the movement of the time axis, is essentially a magic of [consumption]. Its manifestation is that each time it is activated, a certain price must be consumed (it must include mystery and be consumed fundamentally.)
It represents "progress", but the ladder of human progress requires the consumption of mystery, causing all magic in the world to deteriorate and shrink in scale.
In other words, Aozaki Aoko's magic will continue to intensify the disappearance of mysteries in the world today. On the "axis" of the fifth law, mystery will only exist in the past, and every time you move forward, the mystery will decrease.
And what about Moon Oil?
As a derivative of the First Law, its most basic ability is to endow all the "forgotten souls" of the "past" with mystery and revive them.
Artificial ether, creating mystery.
This is the essence of the first dharma.
If Aozaki Aoko had mastered magic at this time, using the "destruction" caused by the so-called fifth method to counter the "creation" of the Moon Oil would have been the perfect scenario.
Unfortunately, she doesn't know how to do it yet.
She is just a budding, half-baked magician.
"The Moon Oil can be continuously replenished from the entire paradise, so even if you attack it several times, it will be useless because its shield will not be damaged by your frequent attacks."
"So, how do you fight it?"
Victor's voice was mixed with a hint of laughter, but he was extremely serious: "Of course, you can only use one strike."
"Use a blow that is rough enough to penetrate this shield and reach the threshold."
"This is an attack that is totally unbearable."
"enough."
"You can only use this one strike."
"But I've reached my limit."
Aozaki Aoko did not doubt Victor's words. She tried her best to infuse magic power. The magic circuit had already reached its limit, and the electric charge on her fingertips was even burning her skin.
"No, you haven't."
Victor smiled.
The smile is very natural.
He thought back to his past.
"Although your body tells you that you have tried your best, the body's protective mechanism actually only allows you to use 80% of its functions at most."
"Apart from this 20% function, you have only used your hair as a medium, right?"
"You still have a lot."
"Where is your life? Where is your flesh and blood?"
"How determined are you, and how much are you willing to sacrifice to save him?"
Victor's voice was like the whisper of a devil, shaking Aozaki Aoko's heart.
"So the next attack will show everything."
Aozaki Aoko.
Whether it is the fifth law or everything in this world.
Any result requires a price. Equivalent exchange is one of the most basic truths, and it is also...
Ladder of progress.
……
Aozaki Aoko was struggling.
She naturally understood what Victor meant. In fact, putting aside the so-called "evil way" of consuming vitality and flesh to strengthen magic.
She knew that it was just the limitations of her body.
It's like when your bladder is one-third full, it will start sounding the alarm, reminding you to pee quickly.
The threshold mechanism of the magic circuit is about 80%. If it exceeds this, it will cause the collapse of human body functions afterwards.
In other words, if she really overdraws herself 100% without caring about the consequences, then she won't know what will happen to the other party, but she will definitely be bedridden for ten days or so.
So, is it worth it?
"That's really nonsense!"
Aozaki Aoko thinks that she is not rigid, at least not like Kuonji Yuzu, who must obey the so-called "rules" obediently.
In contrast, she is more selfish and prefers to make decisions based on her own mood.
but!
It is precisely because of this.
Once you feel that something is important, you have to grit your teeth and do it to the end, no matter how stupid or unworthy it may seem to others.
“Ah—Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh…!”
The next second, she let out a scream of pain.
[Release and release——field expansion, then continue——! ]
Compared with Victor's proposal, she simply raised the stakes again.
The fourth realm of the Mark, a magic that she had not yet fully mastered - was forcibly activated.
come on!
You want to see my determination, right?
Victor.
Then let me show you!
The magic power in the body continued to flow, the magic circuit became hotter and hotter, and even showed signs of decomposition.
Not only her skin, but even her internal organs felt a burning pain, as if she was about to explode from the inside out.
You know, the marks left by magic are not limited to the skin and muscles, there are also words engraved on the bones and even the bone marrow!
"It's... so hot."
but……
But at this point, I've become numb.
Suddenly, a playful smile appeared on Aozaki Aoko's lips.
When death is imminent, I feel relieved.
No longer caring about any cost or physical pain.
Aozaki Aoko threw everything into it without hesitation.
This explosive magic power formed a blue sun. The Skeleton Moon naturally sensed the abnormality, but... it felt it carefully.
Then, he smiled arrogantly.
In this apocalyptic era, there are people who want to challenge Flat Snark, the king of artifacts that spanned thousands of years, in terms of "magic power use"...
Humph, that's ridiculous.
madness.
……
madness.
