Type-Moon, the Path of a Magician

Xia Yuan let out a sigh of relief as he lowered his head and looked at the girl in front of him, one third of whose soul had been completely transformed by him.

The good news is that Yumizuka Satsuki's problem of becoming a Dead Apostle has been successfully solved, preventing her from becoming Roya's vampire.

The bad news is: she became his own dependent, one third of her soul was transformed, causing her to lose some of her emotions and gain an inhuman mystery.

This girl is also his first dependent. As for whether she can return to normal life, Xia Yuan doesn’t know.

Although this ending is not perfect, it is much better than becoming a Dead Apostle.

In short, let her make her own choice after she wakes up. If she is willing, taking her to the Liangyi family for training is also a good option. If she wants to go, he will not take her away forcefully.

This was the result of Toono Shiki's pleading, so it would be more appropriate for him to be responsible for this girl.

Isn't he a very important person?

In this case, why not try to get a step closer?

Since people with mysterious qualities are more likely to attract mystery, this girl's life is now destined to be extraordinary. If she wants to live a stable life, she must either become a magician or have someone protect her.

If it is the former, it would be fine. But if you choose the latter, Shiki Toono, you have to take responsibility.

Xia Yuan thought so, then picked up Yumatsuka Satsuki who was lying on the ground and took her to the infirmary to rest.

As for Tono Shiki, who was knocked unconscious by Xia Yuan, he was also hung up by Elquet with chains and dragged into the infirmary.

Chapter 4: Prelude to Destruction (15/)

"Born from darkness, invited by the messenger in darkness, nourished by flesh, blood and magic, grow and sprout, Anashu."

With a rough and obscure spell, he kicked the red seeds and the flesh and blood piled up under his feet into the cracks in the earth.

Rumble——! ! !

Along with a commotion under my feet, the entire earth and the ground under my feet suddenly began to twitch, and the woods beside me began to twist, as if they came alive.

"Ha, it seems to be working quite well. If it reaches this level, even the fifth magician will be unable to escape."

After finishing all the preparations, Luo Ya raised his head and looked at the still dense jungle in the distance, with a smile on his face.

The seeds have been planted, the cage has been completed, and all that’s left to do now is wait for the prey to take the bait.

Okay, the first step of the plan is completed.

So what comes next?

Roya looked back at the elite dead apostles behind him, then smiled.

"Okay everyone, let's proceed according to the plan we made in advance. Any questions?"

"..."

The dead disciples did not answer, but simply lowered their heads and chose to obey.

They are the elite troops trained by Lord Bai Yi, and they have unparalleled loyalty to their master. As long as the order comes from a superior, they will not hesitate even if it means they will die immediately.

Although their master is not Luoya, since the White Winged Duke has handed over the control to Luoya, they will obey unconditionally.

He nodded slightly, and then the White Winged Lord's army of dead men stood up one after another, split into two groups and began to act.

One team moved towards the witch's mansion built in the forest, while the other team headed towards Misaki City. Their movements were extremely quick and clean.

"What an elite group of Dead Apostles... They didn't even hesitate to carry out a mission to die."

Roya couldn't help smacking his lips as he watched the Dead Apostles taking action from the hillside.

At the same time, I felt sorry for these troops.

If brainwashing was possible, he would definitely do his best to control this elite force.

It's just a pity that these are the diehards who have been cursed by Lord White Wing and cannot be brainwashed at all. In this case, it doesn't matter if I waste them as currency.

Anyway, they were just using each other. They said they were cooperating, but in fact they were all on guard against each other. When Elquet was really killed, the first to turn against him were these so-called allies.

The White Wing Guild wanted to execute me in the name of the (self-proclaimed) King of the Dead Apostles. Frov Archangel and I had an irreconcilable hatred, so of course they would not let me go.

While carrying out his plan, he must always be on guard against these so-called partners and find a way out for himself.

"..."

According to his investigation, the fifth magician, Aozaki Aoko, had a very good relationship with the fairy tale witch, and even fought side by side with Aozaki Touko in this city many years ago.

It is a relationship that can be trusted with life and death. If the Fifth Magician knew that his friend was in danger, he would definitely return to this forest without hesitation to support him.

The strength of the fairy tale witch is not something that can be easily dealt with. These guys definitely cannot kill Kuonji Yuzu in a short period of time.

However, his purpose was never to take the life of the fairy tale witch. It was enough to bring the troops prepared by Flov to force the fifth magician to return to defend here.

And they must just trap the witch but must not kill her, as that would result in the fifth magician and them being in a desperate situation.

This is the first step.

When the Fifth Magician sees his friend being attacked, he will surely be furious and kill those dead apostles to rescue his friend.

but……

His real killer move was not these simple army of dead apostles, but...

Luo Ya glanced at the twisting tentacles of the tree behind him, and a smile appeared on his lips.

"Is it because you were just born that you feel hungry? Hahaha, it's okay, it's okay, you will be full in a while."

"First, take root in the earth veins to absorb magic power, and then devour the flesh and blood of this land. These, those, everything belongs to you, and soon you will be able to grow into a complete forest. By then... the fifth magician will also be yours."

"Ha ha ha ha--!!!"

Roya shouted wildly, opened his arms, and looked at the entire forest below his feet.

Everything is under control.

Whether it's Frov, Ottenroche, Meilian, or Elquet...you are all just my pawns.

With layers of strategies, he must get that perfect body.

With the backing and foundation of the Einzbern family, and the ability to use inherent barriers, even its own performance is enough to suppress Nero Chaos' perfect body.

This was the most suitable and perfect body he had seen in hundreds of years.

With his own knowledge and the strength of that body, he will definitely be able to surpass any generation and become the strongest.

By then he will definitely take back everything he lost!!

After taking a deep look at the forest below his feet, Luo Ya turned around and left.

Now it's time to start making the next arrangements.

……

……

At the same time, on the other side, Frov Archangel had arrived in the bustling downtown area of ​​Misaki City.

He was sitting in a cafe drinking coffee, and his hands and eyes began to tremble uncontrollably.

"...It's cold, cold... It's so cold..."

He kept murmuring.

Because of his handsome European looks and aristocratic temperament, passers-by around him couldn't help but stop and watch.

“So handsome…”

"Just like the black knight in a dark fairy tale, is he a foreigner? Or a celebrity?"

"Go and take a look, maybe you can take a photo with us."

A bustling crowd surrounded Frov Archangel on the street corner. Young girls took the initiative to talk to this handsome foreign youth, and some of them were even very skillful and wanted to invite him to go shopping together.

"Cold... so cold... too cold..."

Frov Archangel was in no mood to pay attention to the humans' flirting and teasing. He just lowered his head and silently remembered the cold. The pain in his body almost made his sanity collapse.

If he had not received the order from Luoya, he would have long ago been unable to restrain himself and would have eaten humans to relieve the pain.

"Cold... too cold..."

He still murmured.

"Eh? Is it cold? It's clearly over 20 degrees today?"

"Is my little brother sick?"

The girls around felt a little strange when they heard Frov Archangel repeating the word "cold". They were all wearing short sleeves and cool clothes, but they still felt a little stuffy.

Is this handsome foreign guy actually feeling cold?

Finding that simple chat-ups did not elicit a response, some of the bolder girls even sat next to him, put their arms around his neck, and began to breathe hot air into his ears.

"If you feel cold, why don't you come to my house and sit for a while? My bed is very warm~"

"Hahaha, that's right, handsome guy, come and play together. If everyone is happy, it won't be cold anymore."

The crowd around burst into noise.

However, Frov Archangel still did not respond to these teasing words and just let these humans chatter in his ears.

Suddenly, as if he sensed something, he abruptly raised his hand and looked in one direction.

A row of pale figures in white suits appeared in an orderly manner.

This is it, the signal has arrived!!

Finally...finally, I don't have to endure it anymore!!

Frov Archangel suddenly stood up, grabbed the arm of the girl closest to him, hugged her tightly in his arms, and buried his head deeply.

The girl's voice was a little choked: "I..."

"Wow! So brave!! Handsome guy!!!"

"Are you finally willing to play together? Let's warm up together."

"Ha ha ha ha……"

While the people around him were still envious of the girl in his arms, the corners of Frov Archangel's mouth were already filled with blood.

I’m craving for warmth…!!!

Come on then...

He stood up slightly, threw away the girl in his arms who had been sucked into a mummy, looked at the terrified human beside him, and a very happy smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

As expected, facing the cold, only the temperature of blood could make him feel warm for a moment.

Come join this carnival of flames!!!

There was no time to escape or react as endless fire snakes suddenly rose from the ground.

Countless people were swallowed by the flames in terror and became part of the warm flames.

"Now...it's finally warm..."

He murmured.

Chapter 5: The Arrival of the Tree World (15/)

In the suburbs of Misaki City, at the Kuonji family.

The witch's mansion.

The sudden fire ignited the nearby forest, roasting the animals and pedestrians in the forest into charred corpses.

A forest fire came from nowhere, the air exploded, and the black smoke rising into the sky made it hard to breathe.

Just a few minutes.

This place has turned into a flaming hell.

Or it would be more appropriate to call it purgatory.

Ryougi Shiki, who had just crawled out of the river under the bridge, had a messy head. Looking at the blazing forest fire above her head, she couldn't help but be stunned.

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

Originally, he was just strolling around Misaki City with Aozaki Touko as usual, looking for the traces of the Dead Apostles along the way.

Since Xia Yuan went out alone to clean up the Dead Apostles today, Elquet followed him. With their mobility, it was difficult to keep up with the speed of these two guys, so she and Aozaki Touko just strolled around the city as usual, planning to go back later.

Originally, everything was going smoothly and development was continuing as usual, with no enemies encountered.
