Comics: Starting from Killer Queen
Page 148
Unless you use a restraining special attack like Air Magic, or an overwhelming force that can crush them in an instant, or you are blessed by the world and can always turn danger into safety, even if you have the upper hand, the Shadow Legion will quickly regain the upper hand.
Summoning the bridge giant did not solve the current dilemma, but instead put Kuonji Yuzu into a new dead end.
But just as the witch was in unspeakable shock, everything that happened in the cruel reality interrupted her thoughts.
The sturdy body of the bridge giant suddenly tilted, and Kuonji Yuzu, who was sitting on its shoulder, almost fell off.
At this time, the fairy tale witch discovered that at some point, many fine cracks and large gaps had appeared on the body of the bridge giant!
The witch let out a small cry of surprise.
Although it is made of wood and stone, the Bridge Giant is a genuine product of magic. The blessing of fairy tale magic and mystery makes his body stronger than steel, and has a destructive power like a rotten wood. But even such a product is just a bigger target in front of the well-coordinated ninja group.
While helping the Troll Group to trap the giant that locked the bridge, the Ninja Group, which was like a treasure chest, also did not forget to throw disposable bombs at the opponent's joints to weaken the outermost layer of defense. Then the Blade Group and the Samurai Group would rush forward and use their weapons that were far superior to steel to chisel away traces bit by bit.
The group of night bats that were as dark as dark clouds in the sky were not idle either. They just raised their hands and emitted strange light waves that swept across like an eraser. Every time the light wave touched the arm of the bridge giant, it would leave a crack as if it had been corroded, making it impossible for the familiar to save itself with its broken arm. It could only use the arm that could still move to kill several night bat soldiers as much as possible, and did not dare to leave Jiuyuan Temple Youzhu too far.
But every time this happened, the Night Bats would scatter, easily avoiding the capture of the Bridge Giant while using beam cannons to attack the bottom, leaving more and more vulnerable places.
Jiuyuansi Youzhu watched everything around her without saying a word. She bit her lips so hard that it seemed like she wanted to make them bleed.
The huge amount of magic power that was inconsistent with her physique was injected into the Bridge Giant along her white arms, buying as much time as possible for this reliable trump card.
But the situation was still in an uncontrollable stalemate. The number of soldiers in the Black Shadow Legion did not continue to increase, but it did not decrease either. In the absence of being able to inflict a real blow to them, her magic power would surely be exhausted first.
The dire situation was right before her eyes, but the witch still did not decide to escape.
If she simply gave up on the Bridge Giant, letting it collapse and then reform, and with the fact that she always had a familiar who died in her place as a safeguard, it would definitely be no problem for her to escape to the mansion. And with the advantages of the workshop and the land manager, it would not be difficult to regain victory as long as she was given a little time.
But what she lacks most now is time, but she can't continue to deal with it passively like this.
Kuonji Yuzu took a deep breath and was about to make a decision when the sound of a blue magic bullet exploding in the sky like fireworks attracted her attention.
The only person who would rush towards the battlefield in an unknown situation and expose his position like an idiot could only be her roommate.
But for Youzhu of Jiuyuan Temple now, there is no better news than this.
With the help of the Bridge Giant's shoulder, she stood up, looked with her magic eyes at the figure that was gradually approaching the edge of the forest a few kilometers away, and called out.
“Aoko——!”
Even when this crisis had turned into a sharp blade at his neck, Kuonji Arizuma's tone remained unchanged.
This attitude made Aozaki Aoko instantly understand her thoughts. Although they had lived together for less than two years, they had developed a considerable tacit understanding between them during this time when they were both teachers and friends, and shared interests, fighting against foreign enemies together.
If the other person still called me when he seemed trapped, he was definitely not begging for rescue or warning me to stay away.
Combining her understanding of Kuonji Arizuma's strength, Aozaki Aoko decisively used magic power to strengthen her body and began to run towards the mansion.
They have to start fighting back. As managers of spirit veins, they have no way out.
Even if she runs away now, what can she do? There is no way that Kuonji Yuzu will allow the mansion located on the spiritual vein to be taken away by anyone other than the Aozaki family, and she will not give up her responsibilities to the Aozaki family.
Just knowing this was enough for her to make a decision.
Aozaki Aoko rushed towards the hillside without hesitation, like an arrow from a bow.
Faster, must be faster!
Magic power circulated spontaneously in her body, and a pale blue glow wrapped around her layer by layer.
But this time, Aozaki Aoko did not recall the ritual as usual. Instead, she focused on maintaining the enhancement as Roland reminded her, and further stopped thinking.
All you need to do is maintain the feeling of being strengthened, and even omit the emotion of activation. Light up the magic power like gasoline and push it out.
While running, even her consciousness began to blur, and Aozaki Aoko, who was focused on finding a way to enhance her senses, got the answer in her heart.
What that cheap brother-in-law said was right. She did have an unimaginable talent in fighting.
The next moment, a huge amount of magic power lingered around Aozaki Aoko's body like a flame, making her whole body like a pale blue rocket, transforming into light and shadow that could not be captured by the naked eye. In a blink of an eye, the door of the mansion was already looming!
After opening the door with the key, Aozaki Aoko rushed quickly to the depths of the corridor on the first floor. She didn't know the functions of most of Youzhu's familiars, but given the other party's habits, it was impossible that he had not considered this, so she only needed to release the strongest trump card she had ever seen.
As for the location of that guy, Aozaki Aoko will never forget it in her life.
Even now, as she approached the room deep inside, the girl's face showed undisguised disgust.
When she first moved into the mansion, she was almost killed by that guy by mistake. Even though two years have passed, she still can't forget the experience of death and the fear she felt that night.
"Time to work, stupid dog!"
Aozaki Aoko kicked the door open and looked at the fog that filled the room.
One of the three demon king-level fairy tale monsters of Kuonji Yuju, the hound of Rose.
Although it is easy to carry, it is usually kept at home because it has a history of disobeying orders and sneaking out to find food.
But this does not change the opponent's strength.
The moment the door opened, the seemingly harmless fog rushed over like a shark that smelled blood, as if wanting to take a bite of Qingzi.
The biting coldness close to her skin made Aozaki Aoko close her eyes subconsciously, but fortunately, after hearing her words, the mist rolled up with a whistling wind, quickly passed her and rushed straight into the forest at the foot of the mountain.
Wiping the non-existent cold sweat from her forehead, Aozaki Aoko didn't bother to rest and ran to Kuonji Arizuma's room to look at the scene on the Nap Mirror.
The pure white hounds were running at a speed no less than her before. Due to their characteristics, with the help of wind and their master's magic, they were even multiplying at a speed visible to the naked eye. In the blink of an eye, they completely covered the entire road and made ferocious hissing sounds.
When he saw the thick white fog gradually covering the forest, Kuonji Yuzu breathed a sigh of relief and made a declaration with a cold face.
"The real game begins, dog, tear these shadows apart!"
"Roar--!"
The hounds, which had been unable to wait any longer, responded immediately. They wrapped around the black shadow army. Then, huge cracks suddenly appeared in the fog, and hideous objects could be vaguely seen. They were not magical weapons, but huge teeth.
There was no sign of life in the hazy white fog, only countless huge mouths full of sharp teeth.
They followed their instincts and launched a massacre according to the level of their magic power.
The characteristics of being unable to be hit physically but able to launch attacks easily means that even modern armies can be completely wiped out by the unknown white fog.
But this time, it met its match. Before being bitten, as if they had sensed something, the ninja soldiers instantly turned into swimming shadows, entangled with the white mist that opened countless big mouths!
Only the invisible can fight the invisible.
"That's a great help, Aoko."
After standing on a high place and enjoying the breeze for a while, Arizuma Kuonji's lips were trembling due to the cold, but she still did not forget the current situation.
The purpose of using dogs was not to achieve victory, but to free the bridge giant!
"Qiao, smash the shadow for me!"
In this fairy tale world, no one can resist this blow, Kuonji Yuzu is sure of this.
This is true even for invisible things like shadows and mist.
The loyal Bridge Giant also obediently raised his hand, bringing with it a strong wind, ready to use a powerful blow to scatter the shadow and the entangled mist.
As if it was aware of something, the mist began to struggle and made sounds full of resentment, but it still did not disobey its master's orders and continued to entangle with the shadow.
And because of this extraordinary blow, the dark shadow began to show a physical appearance, as if some switch was turned on.
In the conflict between the master's orders and the actual situation, the Black Shadow Legion went berserk.
Suddenly, it turned into a dark quagmire, as if an invisible hand was stirring it. The quagmire began to rotate and turned into a slow and tempting whirlpool. Looking at the strange luster, it seemed as if even the sight, mind, and soul were about to be pulled in.
The mist full of sharp teeth, which had just been evenly matched with it, was instantly sucked into the whirlpool without even being able to utter a wail. However, Jiuyuanji Youzhu no longer had the energy to care about his own familiar.
This situation is indeed shocking, but it is nothing compared to this vortex.
Obviously, from her perspective as a magician, the truth about this thing should be an inherent barrier, or it would be more appropriate to call it an egg from another world.
But for no reason, the word that was closest to the essence of this thing emerged in Kuonji Yuju's mind.
dark.
——The ultimate darkness.
Chapter 205: The Witch is Forgetful
The ultimate darkness.
This is the description that comes closest to the essence of this vortex. The name seems to have become a concept that overshadows the witness's own thinking.
Kuonji Yuzu wanted to look away, but she felt that even thinking about the matter was numbed by the cold. Her fingertips seemed to be petrified, and her feet were trembling slightly. She didn't know whether it was because of the cold or the numbness caused by the horror in front of her.
Her right wrist was already covered with goose bumps. She didn't know if it was an illusion, but Jiuyuanji Youzhu vaguely saw that her fair arm seemed to be covered with a layer of bluish-gray color.
Her barrier and perception, which were spread out like a velvet carpet, became a disadvantage at this time.
If you continue to watch, you will become one with it.
Kuonji Yuzu clenched her fists, letting her nails pierce into her skin bit by bit, trying to use the pain to escape from this situation.
However, before she did that.
The voice came again.
"Stop, this is beyond the level of greeting. The Shadow Kingdom doesn't need her yet."
Without any warning, the moment the sound was heard, the vortex of shadow disappeared.
For some reason, Jiuyuan Temple Youzhu vaguely felt that before it disappeared, a sense of grievance was emanating from the center of the vortex.
"Who are you!"
Jiuyuanji Youzhu listened seriously in the direction of the voice and asked again.
Although she lives in seclusion in a rural area like Misaki City, and is not a magician of the Clock Tower, and has little contact with the current magic world, as long as such a thing exists in this world, those who are related to it cannot be unknown.
The intermittent whispers from before were still echoing in the witch's ears, causing her mind to tremble. Just the contact caused this to happen, which showed that polluting the minds of others was more like a talent of the 'Dark Shadow Kingdom' itself, rather than a deliberate result.
Even though she was interrupted in the middle, in this winter, Jiuyuanji Youzhu, who was always afraid of the cold, was already sweating all over and her face was abnormally flushed.
One can imagine how much pain her soul was in during those whispers just now.
"It's really outstanding. A normal magician would be swallowed up by the darkness deep in his heart when he sees it, let alone resist. A guy like a magician is even more likely to fall into it."
The strange voice that did not belong to her sounded again. Although she still couldn't find the source, she could tell that he was quite happy.
"After all, it's just a greeting. As a reward for your victory over the Shadow Legion, that's all. See you later when I pay you a formal visit. Fairy Tale Witch, I hope you can give me more surprises."
The other party's tone was full of appreciation, but to Kuonji Yuzu, it sounded more like ridicule.
Even if he could use the excuse of being unprepared and being caught by surprise, it was an indisputable fact that the other party also held back.
The most important thing is that she was caught in the trap because of her carelessness, but was let off by the other party. For her, there was nothing more humiliating than this.
But the owner of the strange voice clearly had no intention of going back on his word.
The next moment, the darkness and shadows disappeared without a trace, and the moonlight once again fell on Jiuyuan Temple Youzhu's face. There was only a messy ground, proving the clean defeat before.
She did not continue to pursue. Although Kuonji Yuzu still had the strength to fight, even for the witch lady with extremely excellent magic circuits, it was a bit difficult to control two demon lord-level familiars at the same time.
Coupled with the stimulation of defeat, she was mentally and physically exhausted.
After standing there for a while, Kuonji Yuzu's chest, which had been rising and falling with her breathing, gradually calmed down, and her petite body, which had been tense all the time, also relaxed a little.
After taking another look around, she sighed softly, and a hint of annoyance appeared on her usually expressionless face.
As the atmosphere gradually returned to normal, Kuonji Yuju finally calmed down.
The sound of silence once again filled the forest, and the giant bridge made of mud, stones, and wood stretched out a hand, spread it in front of Kuonji Yuzu, and carefully brought her to the ground in a way that was smoother than any elevator in the world.
"Qiao, thank you for your hard work..."
After jumping down, Kuonji Yuzu stroked the giant's scarred fingertips and looked at her familiar, which was far more reliable than the mountain.
Thinking of the other party's frustrating experience today, she couldn't help but clench her fists. Because of the hasty production and her own mistakes, the Bridge Giant was as timid as a bird in a cage and could only serve as a living target.
"Next time, I will prepare a more suitable stage for you."
As she spoke, the body of the Bridge Giant began to gradually disintegrate, filling up the ruined ground again. However, because a lot of weight was still missing, the ground was still bumpy as if it had been hit by a meteorite.
Youzhu glanced at the darkness around him that was created by the Night Feast, with a hint of doubt in his eyes.
I don’t know if it was her illusion, but the environment of fairy tale magic seemed to have become much shallower?
She also needed to digest everything that happened tonight, but obviously not now. After being blown by the cold wind for so long, her magic power and energy had been consumed a lot. Now, Jiuyuansi Youzhu only felt dizzy.
But before leaving, she still had an inexplicable feeling of palpitations. Did she forget something?
The girl shook her head and without thinking any more, she walked towards the villa on the top of the mountain. If she didn't go back, she was afraid that her roommate would rush down anxiously again.
Sure enough, just a few minutes after walking out of the forest, Qingzi's screams were heard from the front.
