The enemy of Jewel … No, to be precise, the enemy of Aozi.
In addition to talent, magicians relied more on family inheritance and accumulation. Therefore, magician families always had only one heir. If there were two excellent successors in the same family, it would be a hidden danger.
The most obvious example was the Aozaki sisters.
Aozaki Aozaki was crowned a genius when she was born. Far away from her parents and sister, she followed her grandfather to live in the mountains as the successor of the magician. Aozaki Aozi, on the other hand, lived an ordinary life because of her ordinary talent. She had ordinary happiness and ordinary troubles. When it came to childhood, Aozaki was undoubtedly much happier than Aozaki.
Although the two sisters didn't have many opportunities to see each other, they still had a blood bond. Aozi saw Aozaki as her idol and would confide in her life's troubles. Aozaki was also a calm and steady sister. Even if she wasn't good at it, she would seriously give advice and comfort her sister.
But this sisterly love didn't last long.
"Ah, the successor of the magician should be Aozi."
When their grandfather said this to Aozaki, everything was shattered.
Aozaki's grandfather's choice was not wrong. Aozaki's grandfather didn't have the qualifications to become a magician. No matter how excellent she was in magic or how precious the magic eye she obtained was, it was not worth mentioning to a magician. On the other hand, Aozaki's talent was average, but she had the qualifications to become a magician.
It was like two martial artists. One was unparalleled in talent, proficient in all kinds of weapons, and had the upper limit of being a martial artist. The other only knew the horse stance, but her horse stance allowed her to jump to the sky and wander around in the Xianxia circle. The goal of the Aozaki family was to go to that Xianxia circle, so everyone knew how to choose.
The choice was not wrong, but it was extremely cruel to Aozaki. It meant that the hard work of the first half of her life was wasted, and her future hopes were completely shattered. In order to become a magician, in order to fulfill her grandfather's wish, she almost gave up everything and stayed in the deep mountains and forests for twenty years. In the end, because of her grandfather's choice, she didn't get anything. Instead, it was her sister who lived a carefree life who got everything.
This kind of unfairness completely shattered all of Cheng's beliefs and drove her to the extreme. Whether it was for revenge or to prove herself, in the end, she stood on the opposite side of her own sister and killed each other mercilessly.
Such examples were quite common in the world of magicians, which was why it wasn't a mistake for Toshimi Motosaka to send his second daughter away. His original intention was to give his two talented daughters space to develop and prevent them from killing each other one day. Unfortunately … he had entrusted his second daughter to the wrong person.
Back to the Aozaki family. The Aozaki sisters were fighting amongst themselves, and Youzhu Kumedera was dragged into it.
As a pure-blooded witch, Youzhu Kumoji was still better than Aozaki Orange in terms of magician combat, even though combat wasn't her forte. However, in the story of "The Night of the Magician", she and Aozaki were still defeated by Orange. The root of the problem was Orange's familiar — the three-thousand-year-old Golden Wolf.
It had only been 2,200 years since Great Qin had existed; what did 3,000 years mean?
This level of mystery meant that modern magic would be completely useless. No magician would be able to defeat it, and it was worthy of being called the magician killer.
In the story of "The Night of the Magician", if it wasn't for the male lead, Shizuki Kusajuro, arriving in time and using his monstrous physique to fight the Golden Wolf head-on, both Youzhu and Aozaki would have died. Even so, Kusajuro was still killed by Orange in the end. However, because of his death, Aozaki broke through the fifth law in one fell swoop. Not only did she completely defeat Orange, but she also resurrected Kusajuro.
Tang Hao didn't know how the story developed on her side before Youzhu's transmigration, but since she was so cautious, it was obvious that she knew how terrifying the Golden Wolf was.
"Roar —"
The sound was getting closer and closer. In the silent night, it sounded a little creepy.
Youzhu Kumoji's expression darkened, and she felt a little uneasy. However, she still opened the door and walked out.
Tang Hao and Motosa Rin followed behind her. Looking forward, there seemed to be something running in the darkness. Even the ground was trembling, and there was a faint golden light. Then, with a bang … it hit the barrier.
However, the barrier that Youzhu Kumoji had set up only blocked it for a moment. Soon, it showed signs of loosening. At this moment, the two pig-shaped familiars from before crossed the iron fence of the Motosa family and rushed out into the darkness.
A moment later, the sound of fighting came from the darkness.
And, the sound of something being torn apart.
Youzhu Kumoji's expression was no longer calm. She knew that her familiars had been broken. Although she knew that they couldn't win, she didn't expect that they would lose so quickly.
But, fortunately …
"There's a river here."
Youzhu Kumoji muttered to herself. Her body moved quickly as if she was gliding, and in the blink of an eye, she disappeared into the darkness.
"River?" Motosa Rin was stunned. There was a small stream in front of her house that had existed for a long time. It was said that the history of the stream was even older than the history of the Fuyuki family. But, what did that have to do with the battle in front of her?
Motosa Rin was puzzled, but Tang Hao understood. He finally understood why Youzhu Kumoji occupied this mansion.
Youzhu Kumoji had a very powerful magic called the Bridge Giant. The prototype came from Mother Goose's nursery rhyme "London Bridge Is Falling." Using the figurine of a lady as the main body, she could summon a huge boulder puppet.
This was a miracle inherited from the first witch of the Kyumoji family.
Of course, there was an indispensable condition to summon the Bridge Giant. It needed a river, and it couldn't be artificially created. It must be a naturally formed river. As for the size of the river, it didn't matter.
Boom! Boom! Boom …
Not long after Yuzo Kumoji disappeared, there was a huge commotion in the darkness. Tang Hao and Rin Harasaka immediately chased after it and saw Yuzo Kumoji standing on a towering platform. On the river in front of her, countless boulders were piled up, gradually forming a giant stone puppet that was more than ten meters tall, just like Gundam.
"Isn't … isn't this too much?!" Motosa Rin was dumbfounded. This was a residential area. Even the Holy Grail War didn't go so far. Don't think that you can do whatever you want just because this isn't your era!
Compared to Motosa Rin's worries, Tang Hao was more concerned about Youzhu Kumoji herself.
At this moment, Youzhu Kumoji was standing beside the Bridge Giant. Her left eye was red like a searchlight, and her face was twitching slightly as if she was enduring some kind of pain.
It was only natural that she would activate the magic eye while summoning the Bridge Giant.
The prerequisite for using powerful magic was the Magic Circuit and Magic Mark. The number of Magic Circuits depended on the person's talent. For example, Ilya, whose entire body was covered in Magic Circuits, was almost the limit. Theoretically, there could only be one Magic Mark.
But Youzhu Kumoji was different. In a sense, she was an enhanced version of Ilya because her entire body was covered in Magic Marks, from muscles to organs to bones.
As everyone knew, activating a Magic Circuit was very painful. Motosa Rin knew this very well, and activating a Magic Mark was several times more painful. A single Magic Mark was enough to make one experience the pain of a blade cutting through flesh, and Youzhu Kumoji's entire body was covered in Magic Marks. The pain was unbearable.
But because of this, she wasn't an ordinary magician. She was a witch.
Theoretically, without the protagonist's aura and the love of the Origin, Youzhu Kumoji was one of the magicians closest to the Origin. As long as she explored the Origin, she would immediately become a Magician.
Therefore, she was very strong. She surpassed Aozaki Orange in magic!
However, her opponent wasn't a magician, but a magician's nemesis.
"Awooo!"
With a loud wolf howl, a golden figure quickly pounced on the Bridge Giant. The difference in size between the two was like heaven and earth, but the Bridge Giant was suppressed from the start. Because it was a Familiar formed by magic, it was naturally suppressed by the Golden Wolf.
Even after activating the Magic Engraving, Kyuuji Youzhu could not help the Bridge Giant. She could only endure the pain and keep searching in the dark. As long as she could find Aozaki Orange, there was a chance that she could turn the tables.
However, Aozaki Orange was very smart. With an overwhelming weapon like the Golden Wolf, she wasn't in a hurry to show herself.
"Aren't we going to help her?" Motosa Rin tugged on Tang Hao's arm. Although she was a little displeased with Youzhu Kumoji for causing such a big commotion, she still softened when she saw her in pain.
"There's no rush." Tang Hao waved his hand. "You're also a magician. There's no chance of winning. You need to rest now and quickly replenish the Magic Power that Ishtar consumed."
"So, we're just going to watch?"
"Let's wait a little longer. After all, heroes always have to appear at the crucial moment."
…
Youzhu Kumoji had her own pride and restraint. Although the battle was extremely difficult, she didn't think of asking for help from Tang Hao and Motosa Rin. She held on bitterly.
However, a magician killer was still a magician killer. With a violent roar from the Golden Wolf, the huge Bridge Giant completely collapsed and collapsed like a building.
Youzhu Kumoji gritted her teeth and retreated quickly. However, a golden light pounced on her. It was the Golden Wolf that tore the Bridge Giant's body apart and pounced on her.
The young witch's expression changed drastically. She had already used her Magic Eye, but there was no reaction. At this moment, all her magic was useless.
It's over!
Youzhu Kumoji felt despair.
Clang!
However, at this critical moment, a figure arrived in front of Jiuyuan Temple Youzhu. Amidst the sound of metal clashing, he blocked the Golden Wolf's fatal attack.
"You —"
Youzhu Kumoji looked at Tang Hao, who had his back to her. She was speechless.
"It's not shameful to ask for help when you're in trouble. You should learn it." Tang Hao turned around and glanced at her. Then, he took off his jacket and draped it over the girl. He waved his hand coolly and spoke in a calm tone.
"Fight. Woman, please leave."
