Aruba said goodbye to Soren and left the mansion full of contradictions, preparing to rush back to his hometown overnight, where there were still many things to deal with.

Speaking of which, if it weren't for the fact that he was not interested in the two rituals at all, he would not have come to this magic desert at the invitation of Araya Zonglian. The harvest this time was really good, and Aozaki Orange's head was in the suitcase in his hand, and he sincerely felt satisfied.

Click――――――

Footsteps that did not belong to him suddenly sounded in the deserted street except Aruba, and the magician stopped vigilantly and watched in the direction from which the sound came.

Then, involuntarily, his steps began to recede.

"Unbelievable! Unbelievable! ”

The person in front of him who made him lose his temper was a woman with a backpack in her hand, although the length of her hair was a little different from her youthful appearance, but the magic in her eyes undoubtedly showed that she was the highest puppeteer designated by the Magic Association - Aozaki Orange.

"Aruba, don't say the cliché 'You should be dead'! This will make people see through you, don't let me down too much! "Orange Aosaki, who was supposed to be in a glass container in the suitcase, appeared alive and spoke quietly in a voice with a gentle connotation.

Aruba looked at her wordlessly......

His body trembled slightly with fear.

"You-you should be dead. Why are you still alive when you still exist here?!! Aruba nervously opened the suitcase, revealing a glass container containing the head. Then, in a trance, he exclaimed, "Look, something must be wrong!" ”

The orange, which looked much younger, did not say anything. Quietly take a few steps forward and place your backpack on the ground. With a gentle flick of her short hair, she took out a cigarette and lit it with it in her mouth.

"Aruba, if you can't face up to reality until now, you'll disappoint me!"

Seeing her all-too-natural contempt for herself, Aruba realized that the woman standing in front of her was indeed alive. And it's the same as before. But because of this, he didn't understand, why was this Aosaki younger than the one he killed?

Aruba looked at each other solemnly: "What did you do to yourself?" ”

"What did you do to yourself? Well, yes. Speaking of which, I've never told anyone about it. Orange thought for a moment, "Listen, the Aozaki Orange who was killed by Araya Zonglian and is still there is me, to be precise." It's my work. Long before I even entered the clock tower to study, I made a doll that was exactly like my own for some reason. Neither more than its own performance, nor inferior to its own, is a container with exactly the same functionality. That was already my barrier, and in order to break this barrier, I sealed me up, went into the clock tower as a puppet, and graduated. Then until they were killed during the day. ”

Orange's words were so impactful that Aruba's mouth couldn't close for a long time.

"With a substitute...... Studying at the Clock Tower? ”

This moment. Aruba's heart is broken.

He has forty years of experience in learning magic, and he has reached the level of puppeteer one step ahead of Aozaki Orange, but even so, he still doesn't see that the object of his hatred is actually a puppet. Doesn't that mean that his talent is really inferior to this woman as those in the clock tower at the same time say?

"No, no, no, you're lying to me!" Aruba shook his head in disbelief and shouted, "No matter how human-like it looks." The internal structure still can't fool the past. The body created is not perfect, from the flow of blood to the structure of the muscles, and no matter how much it imitates a human being, it cannot become something like a human being. Even if a puppet is made that surpasses humans, it is impossible to make something like a human being, which is the absolute law left over from the Middle Ages, the glorious era of the greatest power of magic. You can't go beyond that! ”

"Aruba. It's not good to lie to yourself. ”

"You-"

"You can't accept the fact that you're not my doll maker." Orange sneered coldly, "As the next abbot of Schupenheim Abbey, you can't admit that you are inferior to a woman in her early twenties, let alone a man-made doll. ”

“…… Haha, hahaha - I see, I wasn't your match from the beginning. Aosaki, you're happy, aren't you? Although I don't want to admit it...... But in this way, I was just a clown from the beginning. Aruba looked at the orange with a pained and twisted expression.

"I don't understand. You've already had such incredible puppet technology before you entered the clock tower, so why would you waste time learning at the clock tower? Tell me, why? ”

"As a magician, it is not a matter of course to seek out all the factors that will help you to move to a higher level! Besides, my little puppet skills are far inferior to others! Orange said, suddenly sighing, compared to Zero Guan, who had already been able to do this, her achievements were still too poor.

"Is that so? There are a lot of monsters in this world!! Aruba had a boring expression on his face, ordinary people in the world of genius really didn't understand!

At the moment of thinking about this, all the revenge thoughts and jealousy he had for Aozaki Orange all collapsed. When the other person achieves something that he simply cannot achieve, jealousy becomes a luxury. Just like the Queen of the Clock Tower, who was stronger than himself at a young age, he never had the slightest hint of jealousy.

Because the other party is too strong!

In a moment of discouragement, Aruba raised his head and looked at Orange as if he was pleading, "Are you the real Aozaki Orange now?" ”

Orange took another puff of the cigarette in his hand.

"Does this matter to you?"

"Important!" Aruba nodded unexpectedly calmly, "As a magician, even if I am not your opponent, I can't bear the shame of dying at the hands of a pseudonym!" ”

Orange stared at him coldly, and nodded slowly for a while.

"So. Come on. Aruba threw away the suitcase in his hand, lifted his spirits, and summoned his magic, "Let me see the strength of the real Aozaki orange?" ”

"If you swear not to come to this kingdom again, I can let you go once." Orange said suddenly.

Aruba cried out as if insulted: "You have trampled all my pride under your feet, and now you want to deprive me of the last vestiges of self-esteem!! ”

"Honestly. I don't hate your hatred, that just shows that I'm good, but since you insist, then it will be good for you. With that, she kicked the bag hard with her toes.

"Come out—"

Under this command, which could not be refused and was full of majesty, the bag opened with a "click", and a black object rushed out of it and surrounded the orange of Aosaki.

In an instant, a hurricane blew around her. The high-speed rotation of the air current, the crazy momentum, in a few seconds, made the solid asphalt road show one fine crack after another.

Under the magic blessing of his eyes, Aruba clearly saw that there was a monster in the wind that was larger than the human body and looked like an enlarged version of the black cat. The hurricane around the orange was caused by the high action of this flat monster made of shadows.

"That's, what-?" Aruba stared blankly at creatures beyond his knowledge.

At the same time, the black cat was already rushing towards him. It's like sliding down an asphalt road, standing still on all fours. Maintain a sitting position and move forward at high speed.

Aruba is no ordinary person after all. He reacted quickly and recited the incantation quickly: "Disappear!" Phantom, I will turn the visible into the invisible; Forget it! Dark. The invisible will not be touchable; There are no doubts, the answers are obvious; I hold the light in my left hand and the truth in my right hand......"

In less than two seconds, Aruba fully demonstrated his profound magic skills as an executor. The combination of form and speed of the mantra chant connects the circuits of movement in the material world. This astonishing dexterity is a first-class technique if you look at it purely from the magic of destroying objects.

"I am the truth of all things, and before me, you will bring about your own destruction!"

While chanting the incantation. Aruba stretched out his right hand and aimed it at the black cat that was coming with a fierce attitude, and the atmosphere trembled slightly because of the magic power.

Boom - !!

The cyan sea of fire suddenly appeared out of thin air, and in just a moment, the oxygen in the atmosphere was violently burned, and the violently burning sea of fire rushed towards the orange at an extremely fast speed. This kind of magical flame with a temperature of more than 1,000 degrees Celsius can be burned into gasification by any kind of animal, and it can take the life of living beings in less than a thousandth of a second.

However, the black object looked at the black sea of fire as if it were nothing, and went straight ahead to Aruba's body, no matter how much he tried to urge magic and magic.

"How could it be ??"

In Aruba's incredulous eyes, the black cat opened its mouth wide, and the body of a cat the size of a human opened wide, starting from the soles of its feet, once again fully proving the fact that it was not a living being.

At this time, Aruba once again realized that this guy was just looking like a cat, but in fact he was a black monster with only a mouth.

Just as he was about to try to use the spell to attack the black cat again, the other party had already used his shark-like body to trap the magician. Then, starting from the body wrapped in a red coat, the body of the cardinal magician was swallowed into the black space one by one.

"I'm really no match for you!" At the moment when he was about to die, Aruba did not show a humble look of pleading, and looked at Aozaki Orange in the distance lightly, "At the last moment of farewell, let me tell you something." I've informed the Magic Society of the two ceremonies on my own initiative, and you should know what to do before they send someone. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, his body was completely devoured by the black cat, and then it closed its mouth-like body and re-entered the bag like a gust of wind.

"I actually reported the two ceremonies to the Magic Association, which is really a bit troublesome." Muttering to himself and glancing at the towering building in the distance, Orange thought for a moment, leaned over and picked up the bag on the ground, "Anyway, the sky is falling, there is a tall person on top, whatever you do." ”

"If you take the two rituals as easy characters to deal with, it will be your tragedy!" With that, she turned away, and her figure slowly disappeared into the darkness. (To be continued......)
