The Legend of Level 0 in Academy City

"So, having already been to the site, you should be able to use remote magic to lock onto the ritual area, right?"

"Well……"

Misha's face, which was more than half covered by her bangs, showed a hesitant expression.

"Answer 1: That's certainly possible. Counter-argument: Because this body has activated the 'World-Destroying' spell, the magic power stored within it is no longer sufficient to unleash large-scale ranged magic. My personal opinion: Directly defeating the sorcerer is obviously more convenient."

Cataclysmic: A massive, devastating rain of flames that once burned down a corrupt civilization; a colossal magic spell.

“That’s true. The human body can’t ultimately bear all the power of an angel. But with my assistance, that should be enough, right? If your magic runs out, I’ll use this boy’s body to convert some of it into yours. Is there any other problem?”

"Correct answer, I agree with your solution."

After saying this, Misha raised her right hand and pointed it at the magic circle in the sky. On her right hand was something that looked like a magic wand.

A flash of light appeared, and the blue magic circle slowly disappeared into the air, replaced by a fiery red pentagonal magic circle.

On the red magic circle, a series of special patterns were slowly flowing.

"Flame of Sulfur... Gabriel, you'd better control the area when using this spell!"

Inoue stared at the empty, fiery red magic circle and muttered to himself.

The Blazing Sulfur is a technique recorded as having been used by Gabriel to destroy a city—Sodom, a sexually liberated city that indulged in male lust and did not shy away from homosexual acts.

Inoue, who had been watching Misha closely, noticed that less than two seconds after the array appeared in the air, its fiery red color began to darken, and Misha's face turned deathly pale at the same time.

Upon seeing this, Inoue immediately floated into the air and placed his left hand on Michael's shoulder.

As Inoue moved, the fiery red magic circle regained its previous brightness, and even gradually became more and more vibrant.

However, Inoue's body, illuminated by the light, emitted a crackling sound, and in an instant, his clothes were stained with bright red blood.

A terrifying trail of bright red blood flowed from the corners of his eyes and mouth.

Misha paid no attention to the anomaly on the well beside him, focusing instead on controlling the patterns on the magic circle, making them flow according to a certain trajectory.

bass!

As a dazzling light flashed across the magic circle, a red light suddenly descended over Kanagawa Prefecture, dozens of kilometers away.

Like fire falling from the sky, they all rushed toward a certain point in Kanagawa Prefecture.

Because of the great distance, no sound was heard from here. However, as the red light descended, both Misha and Inoue's bodies were illuminated by a burst of white light.

"Did you succeed? Young man! I quite admire your kind of personality! But since you've left your body in such a battered state, I'll leave you something as compensation... Take care of yourself..."

------------

Inoue Hideka, amidst chaos and darkness, continued to walk.

Although he didn't know how long he had walked or whether he would ever reach the exit, he didn't give up and kept searching for it.

He suddenly found himself in this strange and unknown place, leaving his girlfriend alone abroad, and he didn't know how she would fare.

Inoue Hideka was very worried and anxious.

I kept walking forward, trying to get out of this place where I couldn't tell which way to go.

"Young man! I quite admire your kind of personality! But since you've left your body in such a tattered state, I'll leave you something as compensation... Take care of yourself..."

Suddenly, in the darkness, I heard an echo that seemed to come from beyond the heavens. The voice was somewhat familiar and seemed to be very similar to my own.

Immediately afterwards, the darkness before my eyes seemed to be torn apart, and patches of white light appeared.

The scene changes.

When Inoue Hideka opened her eyes, she saw a magnified image of Kamijou Touma's face.

"Yinghua! Yinghua! How are you? How did you suddenly become like this..."

Although I was surprised to see my friend, I was also happy to finally escape that endless darkness.

At this moment, Inoue Hideka could only feel waves of pain and exhaustion throughout her body.

Touma Kamijou's shouts grew weaker and weaker, and the scene before him became increasingly blurry.

Gradually, it was replaced by boundless darkness once again.

Chapter 128 Aftermath

"Well……"

"Yinghua, you're awake? How are you? Are you feeling better now?"

Inoue Hideka opened her eyes, and the familiar ceiling came into view.

Hearing the sound, he turned his head and looked at Kamijou Touma sitting next to him.

"Huh? Touma? Where am I?"

"This is an affiliated hospital of a university. I found you covered in blood on the beach. Although Kanzaki used healing magic to give you some basic treatment, I think it would be better to send you to the hospital for treatment."

"The beach? Which beach? Why am I with Touma?"

"Huh? The seaside in Kanagawa Prefecture? I don't know why Eika, who was supposed to be traveling abroad, suddenly appeared in Kanagawa Prefecture. But doesn't Eika herself remember?"

"Kanagawa Prefecture? Isn't that the epicenter of the fall from the sky?"

In her astonishment, Inoue Hideka overlooked the fact that she shouldn't have known about the fall of the angels.

"Well, actually, it seems that the fall of the angels has been averted by an unknown person."

"Touma, aren't you curious how I found out about this?"

"Huh? What are you talking about, Eika? Weren't you there when Kanzaki and Tsuchimikado were explaining this? Oh, right, this sword was found on the beach with you. Is it yours?"

Inoue Hideka took the broadsword handed to her by Kamijou Touma and examined it carefully from top to bottom.

This is a giant broadsword about 1.2 meters long and 20 centimeters wide. The part where the hilt and the blade connect is a fairly standard cross shape.

Its entire body radiated a jet-black luster, as if it came from the netherworld, yet it also seemed to exude supreme divine power.

At first glance, Inoue Hideka seemed to feel, for a moment, that all of his consciousness was about to be sucked into an unknown space by the deep darkness.

The entire blade is devoid of any patterns, except for two red arcs extending from the hilt along the sides, running all the way to the tip.

As you stroke the spine of the sword, you can feel from the touch that it is a heavy sword with a very high degree of hardness.

As I gently glided my fingertips across the blade, I was surprised to find that this sword, which looked impressive just by its appearance, wasn't actually that sharp.

Inoue Hideka stroked the sword as he fell into deep thought.

According to the available intelligence, this sword was discovered along with him, and it looks very similar to the red cross that is rumored to be Michael's weapon.

Could it be related to Archangel Michael?

In addition, although I have no memory of this, I should have been to Kanagawa Prefecture, the epicenter of the angel's fall.

The words I heard when I was freed from the darkness echoed in my mind again, as if I heard something to compensate me...

Combining the description of Misha being possessed by the angel in her memory, the chaotic and dark space she was in before, and the actions of her body when she was unconscious...

Could it be... that his body was possessed by Archangel Michael due to the fall of the angels?

What about Gabriel? And what about Michael?

Furthermore, why does Michael need to occupy the body of a human from the science side? Wouldn't that make it very inconvenient when using magic?

Or is it that this body was once occupied by its own foreign soul, making it suitable to house angels?

"Touma, when you found me, were there any other people there?"

"Oh, and there's Misha who's unconscious. Kanzaki and Tsuchimikado seem to know what happened, but they didn't tell me when I asked... Ah~~ I'm still completely confused! How did our trip turn into this? And because Eika was injured for no reason, we have to end our wonderful trip early... and we're going to get revenge on that gluttonous nun..."

Seeing Touma's aggrieved expression, Inoue Hideka felt a little guilty and comforted him, saying:

"Thank you for your help, Touma! How about I treat you and Index to a big meal? By the way, what time is it now? Have you seen Ruiko?"

"It's nothing~ What can I do? I'm Yinghua's best friend! Now..."

Touma Kamijou took out his phone, looked at it, and then said:

"11:12 AM on the 29th. Saten-kun said she was going back to make you something to eat, she should be back soon, right?"

Touma Kamijou scratched his head and thought for a moment, then looked at Eika Inoue with a reproachful expression.

"However, she seems very unhappy. Did you do something to upset her? She's such a good girl, Yinghua, you can't bully girls!"

"Uh...hehe!"

Inoue Hideka smiled wryly, "I don't want to leave her alone abroad either!"

But I wasn't the one who did that!

Knock knock knock!

"It must be Saten-san who's back. I'll be going now. Eika, remember to sincerely apologize to Saten-san!"

Kamijou Touma stood up and walked towards the door. He opened the ward door, and sure enough, Saten Ruiko walked in with a food box.

"Saten-kun, Eika has woken up, so I'll head back now. There's a big-eater nun waiting to be fed at home!"

"Hey? Kamijou-senpai, why don't you eat together before you go?"

"No, thank you. Goodbye then!"

As Saten Ruiko entered through the door, Inoue Hideka's expression instantly darkened after Kamijou Touma left. With a gloomy face, she walked towards Inoue Hideka on the hospital bed.

"Um, Ruiko! Let me explain..."

"Oh wow! Then Yinghua, please give me a concise, clear, and appropriate explanation of what important reason you have for leaving your vulnerable and helpless girlfriend alone abroad!!"

Saten Ruiko recited this series of long sentences without taking a breath, and her imposing manner made Inoue Hideka's heart tremble.

To Inoue Hideka, Saten Ruiko before him seemed to have transformed into a terrifying demon.

Her entire body seemed to emanate a tangible black aura, which enveloped Saten Ruiko's figure, making it impossible to even discern the expression on her face.

"This...this...actually, there's a very profound reason behind it...please, please calm down first."

Inoue Hideka spoke in a trembling voice, almost pleading.

"So, you can't give a reason?"

Saten Ruiko's calm tone seemed to be squeezed out from between her teeth. In this calm before the storm, Inoue Eika could only feel endless fear ravaging her fragile heart.

"Wow! Please forgive me, Lady Ruiko! I promise I'll never do it again!"
