Magician in Type-Moon

Page 316

The magnificent red and green hues bloom like flowers at this moment.

Matouchi and Medea had appeared in a corner of the battlefield at some unknown time.

In contrast, there was the white woman who was torn apart by the force and Bai Ruolong whose wings turned to ashes.

"How amusing! I thought you'd been shredded to pieces, but... sigh, this is absolutely terrible!"

Although Mushiki sighed, her tone still conveyed a sense of ease and confidence.

Bai Ruolong, who had been torn to another corner by the distorted vortex, stared intently at Matou Ike and Medea's figures, because that was where the girl Akira was.

But the clearly defined battlefield was suddenly interrupted by the intrusion of this third party, and the power that had just appeared was undoubtedly of a mysterious scale on par with, or even surpassing, his and Mushiki's...

Furthermore, Bai Ruolong sensed a similar scent about the man among the two people before her...

So he didn't know what to do for a moment.

Matou Ike looked at the two people he had separated and scratched his head:

"Hey you two, this is a busy downtown area. Are you trying to make your magic show known to everyone? Wandering Sea and Mountain Court."

It's pretty much confirmed that Bai Ruolong belongs to the Wandering Sea, while the identity of the white woman called Mushiki is just Matou Ike's guess.

After all, the mystery and antiquity that this woman exuded had completely transcended the normal range.

In modern times, only Heroic Spirits can be compared to her, but she lacks the characteristics of a Heroic Spirit, so she can be ruled out.

The mystery that the other party had previously revealed was clearly a kind of ideological magic rooted in the East.

While mind magic is almost exclusively run by Spiral Mansion in modern times, there are exceptions—

That is, in a very small group, there are still individuals who possess the power to connect with the 'disc' of the Age of Gods.

These beings belong to an organization called the Mountain Court, whose officials, known as the Ten Officials, are true immortals.

Matou Ike was somewhat surprised after deducing this.

He hadn't expected to encounter someone of this caliber.

Therefore, they had to change their strategy and step in to stop the battle that looked like it would destroy the entire city.

Otherwise, Webber would have called and given him a good scolding.

"Alright, alright, I've already been expelled from the court, so I can't be considered one of the ten officials anymore."

The woman scratched her head in confusion. "But what's wrong with you? You've been watching for so long without making a move. I thought you were some lowly lackey."

Matou Ike rolled her eyes:

"Don't you know what it means to plan before you act? Suddenly there's the Wandering Sea, then the Atlas Academy, and now you, this guy from the former Mountain Court, have appeared. All sorts of messy things are mixed together. I just want to get that divine body. Do you think it's easy for me?"

Chapter 372 Wuzhiqi 4k

Upon hearing this, the woman in white let out an exaggerated sigh.

"Now that I remember, you're the magician Matou Ike who's been working with the Clock Tower, right? You're the one who's taken over this land and has Heroic Spirits by your side?"

In contrast, Bai Ruolong, who had stood up, also looked at Matou Ike because of these words.

"Looks like my reputation isn't too bad after all, even the immortals know about it." He shrugged. "That's right, I am Matouchi, the rightful owner of this sacred land. Not only the Clock Tower, but even the records of the Holy Church clearly state that my name is written here."

As Matou Ike spoke, he slowly walked between the two, completely unconcerned about being caught in the gazes of hatred and apprehension.

“So,” Matou Ike lowered his head, seemingly lost in thought, and continued, “you two came uninvited, started a fight on my turf, and made a mess of things… Isn’t that a bit disrespectful to me as the host?”

Upon hearing this, the woman in white clapped her hands.

She raised an eyebrow, looking at him with a half-smile: "Heh, so you're here to teach me a lesson?"

Meanwhile, Bai Ruolong, standing on the other side, had already begun to assess how to win back Akira and escape from here.

Matou Ike shrugged, a meaningful smile playing on his lips: "How could that be? I'm not here to cause trouble."

He paused, seemingly trying to ease the tense atmosphere, and his tone became more relaxed:

"My point is simple—if you two really want to have a good fight, why don't you go overseas and find a deserted place to have a proper contest?"

His gaze shifted from Bai Ruolong to the woman in white, lingered for a moment, and then he continued:

"Of course, if you find it troublesome, I can also help you create a temporary otherworld for you. It will be absolutely hidden, and you won't have to worry about any aftereffects."

At this point, he chuckled softly and pointed to the girl who was already under Medea's control:

"As for this little one, she can stay with me. I guarantee that her safety will be my sole responsibility."

Matou Ike seems to have forgotten that the first thing he said to the two of them was that he also wanted this divine body.

But that's a minor matter; he's just stating his position.

However, this attitude seemed rather excessive to the other two...

The woman glanced at Medea.

Strange looks.

The iris is golden, and the pupil is true red.

A golden ring seemed to float within the flames.

"How rude of you!"

The woman in white chuckled softly, her tone laced with sarcasm. "To carve out an alternate world, huh? But even the most arrogant have their limits. You don't really think that summoning heroic spirits will be enough to deal with me and this brat at once, do you?"

She shifted her gaze to Matouchi, tilted her head, and slowly pointed her finger at Bai Ruolong, who remained on guard.

The magical power surging around Bai Ruolong was like a deep-sea vortex, seemingly waiting for a certain moment to erupt.

"Leaving aside the fact that I am a celestial being, essentially equivalent to a heroic spirit," she said with a hint of mockery, "I am far superior to those familiars imprinted on the boundary record tape in terms of the use of authority. And that brat..."

She paused briefly, narrowed her eyes and looked at Bai Ruolong, a subtle smile playing on her lips. "He is one of the most outstanding experimental subjects in the Wandering Sea, a guy who has devoured a god. Even if it's only in its initial stages, he still possesses certain characteristics equivalent to a god."

Mushiki casually tossed out Bai Ruolong's information, seemingly without any scruples about 'betraying' her.

Faced with the verbal threat, Matou Ike simply yawned.

“After all that talk, neither of you has made a move against me right away,” he said casually, stretching his shoulders as if freeing himself from some invisible constraint. “Doesn’t that just mean you yourselves aren’t confident you can take this child from me?”

This statement caused a slight pause in the tense atmosphere, but Matouchi's actions did not stop.

He stretched his body, raised his eyes, and a subtle smile appeared on his lips.

His attention shifted from Bai Ruolong to the woman in white, especially her bright yet intimidating eyes.

"The Demon Eye?" he murmured to himself.

The feeling of being restrained just now only appeared after she looked at him with those eyes.

Now, that restriction has disappeared.

Combining her name "Mushiki," her previously demonstrated abilities, her attire, and the information analyzed during the deconstruction of the Mystic Eyes.

He smiled slightly, his voice carrying a hint of amusement.

“In Chinese legends, there is such a powerful monster,” Matouchi said slowly, but the two people present could hear him clearly. “Under the rule of Yu the Great, one of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, this monster was stronger than nine elephants, and it resembled a monkey with a green body, white head, golden eyes and snow teeth, and was known as the Fiery Eyes Golden Pupil.”

Mushiki's eyebrows twitched, as if she was somewhat displeased.

But Matouike didn't care; instead, she became even more interested.

"When King Yu was taming the Huai River, the monster caused thunder and rain and led a strange army to fight against him. King Yu was greatly troubled by this and eventually sent the gods and dragons to capture it. It is said that King Yu bound the monster, which he had worked so hard to capture, with special chains and hung golden bells on it."

The things Matouchi described were consistent with Mushiki's characteristics. Putting aside the monkey-like shape, the fiery eyes, the golden bell, and even the chains wrapped around his arms were exactly the same.

In the streets where the atmosphere gradually sank.

Matouchi revealed the name of the demon.

"This monster is named Wuzhiqi."

"You really dare to say that." Mushiki, whose real name had been exposed, bared her sharp teeth. "But now that you already know, why don't you get out of my way?"

In contrast, Matou Ike scratched his head and said with some confusion:

"Wasn't what I just said clear enough? Back then, King Yu used chains and golden bells to suppress you, and aren't the things you have on you now the best proof?"

Matouchi smiled faintly.

"Right now you're just a avatar of the Yang God, right? Just like an immortal in mythology. It's practically no different from the spirit origin of a Heroic Spirit. So, all mysteries eventually flow to the same source?"

The basis for Matou Pond comes from the "Complete Record of the True Immortals of All Ages"—a legend that monks who use the Yin spirit cannot take away the flowers, while immortals who use the Yang spirit can take the flowers home.

"And aside from the 'transformation' and the storm you showed at the beginning, you didn't use any decent magic. I suppose that's about it," Matou Ike continued.

"If you were an extra among the Ten Officials, you would definitely have connected to the Privileged Domain first, but you didn't seem to be using the Mind Key... Simply put, right now you're like a magician who has basic magic but no magic mark."

Upon hearing this, even Bai Ruolong, who had been silent all along, looked at Mushiki in surprise.

Although I roughly learned about Mushiki from the teacher, I don't know how to describe it now.

Despite unleashing such violence, did you not even manage to get into a serious state?

So, he was never able to take Akira away from the beginning?

He stared blankly at the girl whose mouth was covered by Medea's hand.

"Ha, you actually saw through me." Mushiki clicked his tongue, his icy voice ringing out.

In just a moment, the back of Wuzhiqi's fist appeared as if it had suddenly appeared in Matouchi's eyes.

The speed was so fast that even Bai Ruolong, who had just been fighting with it, did not notice it.

But it suddenly stopped, stopping right in front of Matou Pond.

That is?

Needless to say, the speed of the punch, invisible to the naked eye, was astonishing, as was the terrifying barrier that caught the punch.

It's not just a matter of strength.

The space in front of Matou Ike is filled with the "concepts" of delay and stagnation.

According to the Magic Association, this is the so-called Simplified Ritual (Ten Sections) – a distortion of the laws of the world itself, the ultimate in the realm of magic.

Bai Ruolong had only ever seen her teacher perform such magic tricks.

But it didn't happen that quickly, because it was only for a moment... We also have to take into account the mysterious strength that the immortal himself possessed.
