Comprehensive: Beginning with the Killer Queen

Chapter 440 Dragon! Dragon! Dragon!
After a brief eye contact with Kanzaki Kaori, Roland hugged the girl's slender body without hesitation.

But this scene, which should have been romantic and ambiguous, took on a different kind of horror when the long swords pierced through Kamijou Kaoru's chest and abdomen, one on the left and one on the right.

Because they were so close, Roland could clearly feel the soft body holding his arm gradually becoming slightly stiff.

In such a miserable and desperate situation, Kamiya Kaori still did not give up hope and forcibly locked the thin blade with her heart.

Unfortunately, as the ultimate move of the Hell Sword, the power of the Hell Piercing Sword is not so easy to resist, even if it is just a simple show of skill without any killing intent.

——The next second, Kamijou Kaori let out an uncontrollable cry.

“Pfft——!!!”

The blade roared wildly like a beast imprisoned in a cage that finally gained freedom.

For a moment, the only sound between heaven and earth was the bloodthirsty buzzing sound.

Starting from the pierced heart of Kamijou Kaori, one long and narrow blade after another, accompanied by a sweeping gust of wind, completely turned into a part of the girl's body.

The sword light radiated on Kamiya Kaori's body like a blooming rose, and like a huge wave when a high tide came, it rushed all the way under the embrace of the sharp blade.

Arms, thighs, back, toes.

This is truly like being struck by thousands of blades.

Even the bloody wounds solidified as the Hell Blade spread, turning into a red luster that flowed like lava.

In an instant, Kamisaki Kaori was imprisoned by these beautiful yet terrifying shackles and fell into complete silence, like a sculpture.

By the time Roland pulled out the blade and let her body fall to the ground, Kamiya Kaori no longer had the strength to move her fingers.

"Ding Ding-"

This tragic scene made Tsuchimikado Motoharu, who had already prepared himself mentally, tremble a little. He looked at Roland timidly with indifference on his face, not knowing whether he should approach him.

"Big...Big Sister..."

But because of this scene, Stiyl, who had regained some consciousness, could not sit idly by.

He groaned in pain, not caring about his body that was as uncontrollable as a puppet, and shook off the hand of Tsuchimikado Motoharu beside him, and crawled towards Roland.

"Don't worry, it's just a fatal injury, it's nothing."

Roland was much calmer.

He had indeed praised Kamijou Kaori's strength before, and thought it was amazing that the girl could cut off his nails by herself.

But the premise for saying this is that there is a huge gap in strength between him and this female saint.

If Roland didn't even have this level of power control, he would have died in every battle along the way.

Although Kamisaki Kaori's miserable appearance with all her bones broken and her body soaked in blood was truly daunting, although both were fatal injuries, a saint could hold on much longer than an ordinary person.

As long as no one aggravated her injuries further, she could hold on for at least a few hours before dying.

During this period of time, as long as she receives emergency treatment, Kamiya Kaori's life can be saved.

But Stiyl obviously failed to follow Roland's train of thought and still tried to struggle to crawl over, but was immediately knocked unconscious by Tsuchimikado Motoharu next to him.

"I'm sorry, Lord Roland. I'll take him back now and hand him over to Yafei for custody."

Tsuchimikado Motoharu sighed.

As a newly-changed worker, he has to deal with a bad boss and adjust his grumpy former partner. This job is no better than being a spy.

"Oh, I leave it to you. Don't worry about Kamijou Kaori. I'll have Yafei take her back after dealing with her."

After Tsuchimikado Motoharu's figure gradually disappeared, a new iron bird rose again from the faint light of the night sky and began to stabilize the state of the female saint.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Roland also reassembled the Seven Days and Seven Swords that had been merged into one before.

After being strengthened by the power of his magnetic field, this sword, which was previously only considered a fine product, is now no less powerful than a spiritual weapon.

"After all, I said I would show you the true use of the Seven Days Seven Swords. The rest is up to you."

If this female saint's comprehension is high enough and she can grasp the feeling and traces left by Roland when he used it, she would be at least ten times or even nine times more powerful than she is now.

"Next, it's about time we go to Index. It's about time she's activated."

Roland shrugged, sheathed the knife, and stuck it into the ground beside him.

But just as he was about to leave, a pale hand quickly grabbed his ankle.

He was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing.

"I say, are all saints monsters? After sustaining such injuries, they should have lost the strength to move."

Roland turned around helplessly and spoke unconsciously, as if he had forgotten that he had just used his fingernails to resist a blow that could destroy a city.

"Or... are you planning to die, Miss Kanzaki?"

"..."

"Don't want to answer? Then I'll leave first. Anyway, your opinion on what I'm going to do next is irrelevant."

"I will not give up on Index."

Kamiya Kaoru raised her head and looked up at Roland, her blood-stained brows filled with a determination to die.

"That child has finally gotten this kind of life. Even if I die, I will protect him."

To be honest, Kamisaki Kaori doesn't think that Index's current life is truly happy.

That child always lives a happy life. Not to mention what the outside world is like, she may not even have any qualified friends.

Despite enduring such a painful fate, she never gave up and never resented her duties as a member of the Magical Index.

Even if the only place where I live is that church, even if the people who keep me company are all weird magicians.

Because this is enough to satisfy the girl named Index.

So, when she heard that even such a small wish would have to be fulfilled all over again after a year, Kamisaki Kaori vowed to protect Index.

——Even if it means sacrificing my life, I will do it.

As a saint, Kanzaki Kaori is born with the intuition to roughly distinguish the good and evil and tendencies of others.

But in the battle just now, even after she gradually understood Roland's character and true intentions, what she could feel deeper was still only chaos.

The last time she felt this way was with the always smiling archbishop.

Therefore, Kamisaki Kaori can be sure that no matter what Roland wants to do to Index next, it will most likely not be a good thing.

Roland sighed.

From the perspective of others, I am probably a villain who is hated by everyone and everyone.

Although he did not intend to deny this, Roland thought that there were still some subtle differences between him and them.

At least this time his starting point is not to destroy the world, but to destroy the world incidentally when he achieves his goal.

"Well... I do have high hopes for the wisdom contained in the Magical Index, so your idea is not completely wrong."

Roland tilted his head, looked down at Kanzaki Kaori and muttered.

"But, in terms of the consequences, your actions will push Index into an irreversible abyss. After all, the direction brought about by my interference is definitely a good thing for her."

"Don't be ridiculous. You all admitted that you came here for those 103,000 magic books..."

Kanzaki Kaori's resolute expression did not waver in the slightest.

During this year's pursuit and past protection, she had encountered magicians who became greedy after discovering Index's abnormality.

Those people are either fools who don't know the consequences, or lunatics who are determined to make big news.

Judging from Roland's simultaneous layout in magic and technology, he will obviously be the latter.

And in order to seize the wisdom stored in Index's brain, what kind of things he would do, just imagining it makes Kanzaki Kaori's hair stand on end.

"I see, you still don't understand what I mean."

"I just said that my interference, no matter how serious it is, is good for Index for a very simple reason."

"——After all, for those who are already at the bottom of the valley, no matter how they move forward, they are heading upwards."

Roland lowered his eyes and said jokingly. "Huh?"

Kanzaki Kaori was stunned for a moment, but did not question Roland because of this strange statement.

The power gap between the two was too great. Even if the other party just left him alone, he would have no chance of survival.

Therefore, there was no need for Roland to lie to himself.

In fact, he also frankly admitted that his goal was to get the grimoire in Index's memory.

Kamisaki Kaori hated the Puritan's practices, but rather than letting Index fall into the hands of a malicious magician, she would rather hold her nose and swallow the bitter consequences of having her memory erased.

But if what Roland said was true, and if his words about Index falling into his hands was a good thing, then it wasn't a bad taste...

"...This one-sided statement is not convincing."

Although she said so, the hand that had unconsciously loosened from Roland's ankle still revealed the girl's true thoughts.

"A one-sided statement?"

Roland raised the corner of his mouth, revealing a frivolous arc.

He grabbed Kamiya Kaoru's arm and let his strength flow through the female saint's body like water, repairing her injuries. Then, with a slight force, he grasped her waist.

Unlike previous battles, when being in such close contact with the opposite sex at ordinary times, Kamiya Kaori's fair and delicate cheeks were also stained with a strange blush.

After close contact, even the female saint who had no feelings about this matter had to admit one thing.

This frivolous guy has a face that can easily seduce the opposite sex, coupled with his powerful strength and the kind of transcendent charm that seems to come from a higher level of life. It is not surprising at all that people are attracted to him.

"open……"

Realizing that she had lost her composure, Kamisaki Kaori pretended to be calm and kept a straight face, but before she could finish her words, the boiling magic power in the distance that was like the bright sun suddenly took away all her attention.

“In that case, why don’t we come and see it with our own eyes? Are you ready? Miss Kanzaki, next… I’m going to get serious.”

The gentle and calm voice makes people feel favorable towards it unconsciously.

But what Roland said made the surrounding darkness boil over completely.

The next moment, before Kamiya Kaoru could react, the ferocious shadow of the evil beast completely enveloped the two of them.

----

"Jianqi, is the target okay?"

Mai Ye Shenli kicked away the stone in front of him that was still connected to the steel bars, then used his ability to turn it into powder and quickly rushed out of the smoke.

Flanda behind her also followed closely, coughing and complaining.

"How could there be a sudden earthquake?"

"Idiot, this is obviously an attack!"

"No way, at this point, are there still ignorant guys who dare to challenge our Blue Dream Organization?"

Flanda looked surprised.

Although she was only obedient because she was tamed by Roland at first, after realizing the speed of development and how powerful the Blue Dream Company was, she already had a deep sense of belonging to it.

"Even if this day happened, it has nothing to do with us," Mai Ye Shen Li said impatiently, "Our only goal now is to bring that nun back."

"The target is fine. I had already built a barrier for her when I felt the vibration. What's more, there is Takitsubo. In terms of strength alone, she is the strongest among us."

Juanqi Zuiai calmly dispersed the smoke and dust around him, revealing the figures of the two people next to him.

The unharmed Index was being held tightly against Takitsubo Riko's chest, and was about to be drowned in that fullness.

"Um..."

With great effort, Index managed to buy herself a little breathing space.

"I'm not that nun. My name is Index, and my official name is the Index of Forbidden Books!"

The silver-haired nun puffed her lips and corrected the girls' rude addresses in annoyance.

"Also, although I am grateful for your kindness in giving me food, a crisis of this magnitude cannot break through my mobile church!"

"Mobile church?"

Takitsubo Rikou tilted her head and looked at Index with some confusion.

"It's this monastic robe I'm wearing," Index, without any ulterior motives, proudly stretched out her hand and revealed the truth about her spiritual outfit.

"It is the ultimate defensive barrier. Every decoration and weaving method has been carefully calculated. It has a defensive power comparable to the London Cathedral. It can perfectly resist both physical and magical attacks, so you don't have to worry about me at all."

Having said this, Index struggled hard, as if trying to prove that her words were reliable.

But with her strength, it was impossible for her to escape from Takitsubo Rikou's arms, and she could only helplessly bite the girl's upper arm sleeve to vent her anger.

Such a cute gesture made Takitsubo Rikou blink her eyes, and then she realized what Index meant. She lifted her waist and put her safely on the ground.

Having regained her freedom, Index smiled brightly, but her smile soon turned into worry.

"There's no time left. You should leave as soon as possible."

"The attack just now was most likely launched by those magicians who were hunting me down. They would not hesitate to seize the original texts of the 103,000 magic books in my memory."

"If you don't leave now, you might be put in danger."

Such innocent words made the girls in ITEM look at each other in bewilderment.

They did not try to hide their purpose during the conversation, and simply used food to lure Index onto this path.

Even at this point, hasn’t the other party realized that they are not just kind people passing by?
This kind of innocence is kind of endearing.

"Involve? Ha, since he personally ordered this mission, I would like to see who dares to get involved?"

Mai Ye Shenli's eyes flickered and his tone was full of disdain.

"What's more, this is the sphere of influence of the Blue Dream Company. Don't worry, kid, although it is not my intention, but since you have agreed, we will protect you."

"This isn't as easy as you think. I really have to leave."

Index shook her head to reject Maizono Shenli's decision, her long silver hair swaying from side to side.

Along the way, she met some kind-hearted people who helped her, but she was very clear about the strength of Kamijou Kaori who was chasing her.

These girls are obviously not into magic, so they have some deviations in their understanding.

Because the enemy was already behind her, Index didn't intend to waste any more words here. She moved quickly, wanting to leave here quickly to prevent Maito and others from being affected.

"Huh, didn't I tell you? Stay here."

Mai Ye Shenli didn't plan to continue talking to Index.

She stood in front of Index, pressed her forehead against hers, and snapped her fingers loudly without any courtesy.

She had heard the introduction of the mobile church, so she deliberately did not use her abilities or magnetic field power, and just played it normally.

As expected, the Mobile Church did not respond to this attack which did not contain any malicious intent. Index squatted on the ground with tears in her eyes, raised her head angrily, as if she wanted to say something.

However, she suddenly stopped halfway through the action.

The originally lively expression slowly became silent, like an inorganic puppet.

"Mugi, you seem to have messed up..."

Flanda's pupils shrank and she screamed subconsciously.

"Shut up, Flanda! I didn't even use my power, how could I have caused such a phenomenon!"

Mai Ye Shenli glared at Franda angrily and took a few steps back vigilantly.

As she said, Index was stunned and didn't even look in her direction.

She just looked at the distant sky and repeated those simple yet great words over and over again in her childish yet solemn voice.

"Dragon! Dragon! Dragon!"
