After Qing Zi's feet landed on the ground, her body swayed slightly. Although the injection of divine power from Tang Hao did have some effect, it did not fully restore her crystallized leg in such a short time.
Tang Hao did not care about her, because the two of them had already discussed and decided on their respective opponents before they came.
Bang!
Almost at the same time that Tang Hao provoked Amasaka Nagato, the two rushed at each other. Amid the violent collision, the battle quickly entered a white-hot stage. Their speed exceeded the limits of the human body, and even Aozaki Aoko could not prepare to capture their movements.
Soon, Qing Zi looked away and stared at the Holy Maiden of Winter as she limped forward.
The Holy Maiden of Winter did not speak. Although she, who had ascended to become the Grail of Heaven in advance, did not completely erase her own will, all her feelings as a human had been integrated into the Great Grail buried in the big hole. At this moment, she was just the human manifestation of the Grail.
As the Grail, she was not complete, but she could not be called a human.
"Perhaps, this is the real Holy Maiden." Qing Zi sighed in a low voice.
At this moment, the Holy Maiden of Winter's eyes suddenly widened, revealing an inhuman gaze in her crimson eyes. Silver-white specks of light appeared around her body, and with a whoosh, a dozen magic lasers shot out.
Qing Zi's expression changed, and she hurriedly leaped away, but her leg that had not fully recovered still caused some delay in her movements. Besides, the Holy Maiden of Winter's attack was really too fast. A magic laser penetrated her left arm, and blood flowed.
Qing Zi grunted, and her face showed pain, but then she grinned … Fortunately, it was her left arm.
In the previous battle with the Holy Maiden of Winter, her left shoulder was penetrated. This was originally a relatively serious injury, but compared to the crystallized right leg, it was somewhat insignificant, so there was almost no treatment just now. Therefore, even if her left arm was penetrated again now, it would not affect her combat effectiveness.
Although it was impossible to return to peak state again.
"Haa!" Half kneeling on the ground, Qing Zi extracted the magic from the ground, and the huge magic cannon shot out.
At this moment, the entire forest had been crystallized, and the Mana that was originally scattered throughout the forest was all concentrated in this area. This was actually an advantage for her. Even if she did not occupy a large hole, she would still have sufficient Mana to use.
However, such an attack was useless against the Holy Maiden of Winter.
The instant the magic cannon was fired, a crystallized barrier appeared in front of the Holy Maiden of Winter, completely blocking the heat of 3,000 degrees. Even Qing Zi couldn't believe that the firepower she was so proud of was actually …
The Holy Maiden of Winter stared at Qing Zi lifelessly. Her emotionless eyes made Qing Zi feel as if she wasn't looking at him, but rather at an ant, a dispensable rock on the side of the road.
For the first time in his life, Qing Zi felt his dignity being trampled on.
Whoosh!
Before Qing Zi could react, specks of light appeared around the Holy Maiden of Winter once more, and dozens of laser beams shot out from those specks of light. With such speed, it was impossible to defend against them. Even if Qing Zi was in perfect condition, he might not be able to dodge them, let alone with a broken leg.
Chi! Chi! Chi …
In an instant, the laser once again pierced through her body. Her arms and thighs were not left unscathed. Blood seeped out of her wounds and dyed her clothes red. Her outer clothes had long since become tattered from the opponent's attack.
She couldn't even withstand a single blow …
Qing Zi clenched her teeth. Compared to the physical pain, what was more unbearable was this sense of defeat.
Although she didn't have much self-awareness, she had always been the kind of tough and unyielding character. Under the aloof and free appearance was a heart that would never admit defeat. This battle with the Holy Maiden of Winter was also something that she had taken the initiative to request, and she had persuaded Tang Hao with the determination to die, but … the result was so unbearable.
Turning her gaze, she saw that Tang Hao was still fighting fiercely with Enaka Nagato. Because they were too fast, she couldn't see their movements at all. However, he probably hadn't given up yet, so what reason did she have to give up?
Gritting her teeth, Qing Zi struggled to get up with her tattered body and activated the magic circuit in her body.
As a magician, Qing Zi's magic circuit was extremely simple, incomparable to Cheng's in both quality and quantity. Rather than saying that she was mediocre, it was better to say that under normal circumstances, it was almost impossible for her to develop on the path of a magician.
However, this kind of magic circuit also had advantages that other complex and excellent circuits did not have. Because of the small amount, the rotation speed was faster, and the activation time was shorter. Simple use could also make the magic circuit perform better, and it could even make the magic circuit rotate infinitely. This was almost impossible for magicians with huge magic circuits, because no one could bear the pain caused by such a large-scale rotation.
Therefore, it only took Qing Zi two years to surpass Youzhu in releasing magic power.
At this moment, in order to win, Qing Zi sped up the operation of the magic circuit on top of her already extreme usage. This made the pure magic circuit in her body seem to be directly ignited, and she felt as if she was in purgatory.
But this pain turned into her greatest motivation at the moment.
"Stop …"
In the state of extreme burning, Qing Zi experienced the feeling of living a life worse than death. Suddenly, there was a voice in her ear.
She suddenly widened her eyes and saw a red figure in front of her.
The Death of Akame!
Qing Zi thought to herself that this was a miracle she had encountered in her childhood. Ever since the first time it had appeared, she would encounter it every once in a while, especially in a more dangerous situation. She would always be able to see this figure at different places, and it would always accompany her.
Because she had been saved several times, she felt that this was her miracle.
Now, it appeared again.
Was a miracle born again because she was at a critical moment of life and death?
While Qing Zi was thinking about this, Tang Hao also noticed the red figure. The moment he saw it, he didn't even care about Enaka Nagato's attack, and his heart trembled violently.
Because this was something that no time traveler wanted to encounter — inhibition!
That's right, this red figure was the manifestation of the suppressive force. When it appeared, it meant that someone had been targeted.
Qing Zi thought that the Death of Akame was her miracle, but it was not.
In the words of "The Night of the Sorcerer", magic was the enemy of mankind.
Therefore, for Alaya, who was the collective consciousness of all mankind, possessing magic was a sin and evil!
Because magic was a power that transcended the world, anyone who possessed magic had the possibility of overturning the world. The inhibition would not allow such a person to exist in the world. Therefore, as long as there was such a possibility, the inhibition would pay attention to them and put them on its blacklist.
Aozaki Qing Zi had the qualification to cross that threshold and become a sorcerer. Since she was very young, she had been paid attention to by the inhibition. It could even be said that the inhibition had been monitoring her all the time. And every time she took a step towards magic, the manifestation of inhibition, that is, the Death of Akame, would appear and stop her.
Indeed, the Death of Akame had saved Qing Zi several times when she was in danger. But at the end of the day, it was not to protect her, because danger was also an opportunity. Between life and death, the Chosen One like her would have a higher chance of crossing that threshold. Even if there was only a one in ten thousand chance, it was not allowed. Therefore, the essence of the inhibition was to stop Qing Zi from breaking through.
Perhaps some people would wonder why the inhibition didn't want more sorcerers to appear in the world, so why didn't it just kill Qing Zi before she became a sorcerer?
Because that was impossible.
After all, the inhibition was only a concept. It could not directly wipe out a person's existence. It could only interfere with phenomena through the manifestation of concepts, such as creating all kinds of accidental events. For example, in the world of FGO, there was only one master, Fujimaru Tachika. This result might not necessarily be due to the interference of the inhibition.
And on this basis, the greatest extent that the inhibition could do was to send out heroic spirits, such as the heroic spirits in the FZ event to protect Miyazaki.
In other words, the heroic spirits were the inhibitor's fighters, and the sorcerer was the inhibitor's hunting target.
However, if the heroic spirits were really sent to deal with Qing Zi, it would be equivalent to creating a crisis for her and actively giving her an opportunity, which was contrary to the purpose of the inhibition.
Then the best way was to not interfere with her and let her live a normal life as much as possible as an ordinary person.
However, since she was the Chosen One, how could she really become ordinary?
Whether it was in the original work or in this strange world line, in the end, Qing Zi still came to this step.
The Death of Akame appeared again, blocking in front of Qing Zi, seemingly to protect her from the Holy Maiden of Winter's attack, and said in a cold voice, "Go back, leave here, go back!"
This was the first time Qing Zi heard the Death of Akame speak.
The tone was cold, like an evil spirit, and it seemed that there was a trace of anxiety.
And there was only one reason why it was anxious, that was … Qing Zi had been exposed to something that should not be exposed to as a human, and the possibility of her crossing that threshold to become a sorcerer was increasing dramatically.
"Tear it apart …"
Just as Qing Zi was hesitating, Tang Hao ignored Enaka Nagato's attack and shouted at her.
"Huh?" Qing Zi was stunned.
Tear it apart?
Qing Zi thought she had heard it wrong. Although the Death of Akame did give her a bad feeling, wasn't this her miracle?
"Tear it apart, yes, tear it apart! It's stopping you from becoming a sorcerer! "
"Shut up!" The Death of Akame suddenly turned around and stared at Tang Hao with its scarlet eyes.
Tang Hao felt a heavy pressure, and he almost couldn't breathe. He also knew that after today, it was very likely that he would receive the attention of the Suppression Force, but …
"Imagine it!"
Bang!
Enaka Nagato punched Tang Hao fiercely in the chest, catching him off guard. He could only rely on his strong physique to survive. Even so, he didn't look at Enaka Nagato.
"Imagine it …" Tang Hao roared, "In this enclosed world, only you and I are companions, and I'm about to die. When I die, you'll be the only one left in this world. No one will be your companion, no one will talk to you, and only eternal loneliness will be left. Imagine it, I am your lover, and now, I am about to die … "
Bang!
Enaka Nagato's attack hit Tang Hao again, causing him to take a few steps back. He spat out a mouthful of blood and shouted tragically, "Death will take me, and loneliness will be left to you. In this desolate world, you will have nothing. Can you bear all this?"
"If you can't, then go and tear everything in front of you. Go … Aozaki Aoko!"
"Be the enemy of the world! Master that magic! "
"Tear it apart!"
Bang!
After saying this, Tang Hao was blown away.
"You have said too much." The red figure trembled and floated toward Tang Hao with a hoarse voice.
But just as it turned around, Aozaki Aoko grabbed it.
"I don't know, what magic … I don't know at all …" Qing Zi lowered her head, her hands trembling. "I just want to leave here, I just want to go back to my time. If only to become a sorcerer … If, to become a sorcerer, I have to be the enemy of the world … then …"
"No! You don't want to! "The Death of Akame panicked. Ignoring Tang Hao, he roared at Qing Zi.
"… Be the enemy of the whole world!"
Qing Zi suddenly raised her head, grabbing Death of Akame's hands and releasing them.
Boom!
In an instant, the world changed, as if it was torn apart.
