He's a crossover character in anime/manga, and basically just very despicable.

"—Ice Mirror, One Line of Light!!!"

The cold light, formed from pure magic, was reflected and refracted by countless ice mirrors, converging at a point about one meter in front of the old woman.

Then, release it!!!

Wherever the cold light passed, grass, trees, stones, and insects were all transformed into pure ice crystals, only to be instantly shattered by the sheer destructive power of the light. The next target was Kurosaki Azami, whose feet were firmly bound by ice magic.

After lasting for more than ten seconds, the cold light gradually dissipated.

Kurosaki Azami is gone.

"Huff... huff huff..."

Shizuka Yukinoshita not only kept summoning the Ice Mirror, but also maintained the array that concentrated the cold light.

"Ancestor? How are you?"

"Heh... Ever since I accidentally ate that centipede in that temple back then, I... have gained this power of immortality."

"Others die from exhausting their magic power after unleashing 'a type of light,' but I... am an exception..."

Even so, judging from Yukinoshita Yukimiko's expression, this move was not entirely without cost.

“Yang Nai…”

"Mother..."

A hint of tenderness seemed to appear in Shizuka's eyes.

"Now, Yukinoshita's elite forces are all wiped out. You must focus on rebuilding and strengthening the foundation. One day, Yukinoshita's glory will return..."

What will happen someday?

"Ughhhhhh!!"

The hand that had been deeply embedded in Shizuka's chest was pulled out forcefully, and the "splatter" of blood made the hearts of the three people present sink to the bottom.

"Kuro... Kurosaki Azami!!!"

The black-haired demon was still unharmed, not even a tear in the hem of his clothes.

In another instant, Kurosaki Azami's hand was already piercing Yukinoshita Yukimiko's chest.

"Bloodstains...bloodstains on the ground..."

There were only three drops of Mother's blood on the ground at first.

However, at the moment when Kurosaki Azami attacked the Ancestor, he turned into seven drops of blood.

“Masaka.........”

Impossible... How could someone possess such terrifying abilities...?

"You...you time-manipulating devil!"

The more clearly Yukino sees things, the more desperate she becomes.

"Wow... you actually figured it out."

That's right, just as the Light Element was about to attack Kurosaki Azami, he activated Crimson King, erasing 15 seconds of time in one go.

Then, having shaken off the ice and snow magic, he came to the three of them, waiting for his chance to strike.

"Now, I'm going to collect the spoils... huh?"

Although the old woman in front of him was still unable to fight, flesh and blood tissue was slowly growing back to fill the wound.

"Don't even think about it... You can't kill this old woman..."

"I am a figure from hundreds of years ago, cursed with an 'immortality' that has been severed. You cannot kill me..."

"Hmph... then I won't kill you."

Kurosaki Azami tied up the old woman and threw her on the ground.

Unkillable? Isn't that even better...?

"By the way, I have something to tell you two."

Kurosaki Azami bent down and spoke softly to the terrified Yukinoshita mother and daughter:

"I can do demon magic too..."

"What......."

Hatred, regret, resentment, and self-mockery appeared simultaneously on Shizuka Yukinoshita's face, and then remained there forever.

"Ever since I devoured Ogino Akiaki's soul, I've discovered something very interesting."

Shizuka's soul was held captive in the hands of the Crimson King.

"The standard for 'heinous souls' seems to be very flexible."

Crush it and inhale it.

"You misspoke just now, Miss Yang Nai."

The venomous snake is flaunting the beauty of its sinister intentions.

"Not a 'devil who plays with time',"

Kurosaki Azami seemed to have pulled out a small object.

"But rather, he is the 'emperor who rules over time'."

Faint sobs could be heard.

"Don't cry, Miss Yang."

The Crimson King appeared behind him, and the black-haired demon revealed a smug smile.

"You're one of my spoils—"

A writhing object appeared in Kurosaki Azami's hand.

"—And the most important 'add-on'?"

PS: Sorry everyone, I wanted to finish writing the story of Yukinoshita today, but it took me a lot of time to come up with the plot, and I also had to take care of my younger siblings.

But don't worry, there will be at least two updates every day.

If no one is notified, then it will be two updates without fail (occasionally three).

By the way, did I write the battle scenes poorly? I've noticed there aren't many comments about the battle chapters.

According to my observation, the number of favorites will exceed 1,000 tomorrow.

Although the preliminary test results haven't come out yet, I'm still willing to keep my promise ahead of time: I'll start a reader group as soon as the score reaches 1,000.

So, given how hard this author works, can we please give them more votes, add them to our favorites, and leave some comments?

Chapter 47 Turning Snow into Mud

Early in the morning, the bright sunshine illuminated this Far Eastern country and also shone into a ward at Richuan Hospital.

A young girl was also awakened by the sunlight.

"Where is this...?"

Feeling lingering dizziness, Yukino Yukinoshita, lying on the hospital bed, began to look around, clutching her head.

"A hospital? It seems to be... the hospital where Kurosaki-san stayed before?"

"Yukino! You're finally awake! I was so worried about you!"

Seemingly having heard Yukino Yukinoshita's voice, the short-haired beauty rushed into the ward and pounced on her younger sister on the bed, inadvertently pressing her sister's face against her cleavage and rubbing it.

"I'm sorry, Yukino. It was my fault, it's all my fault..."

No longer with that little bit of mockery, nor with the slightest bit of mischievousness, but with genuine, somewhat guilty, tears.

Hearing Yukino Yukinoshita's sobs, Yukino Yukinoshita was somewhat dazed.

The face wash I used to hate the most no longer carries that subconscious connotation of "showing off" or "abusing" me; instead, it feels more like...

Giving and receiving with peace of mind.

This is probably the first time I've ever heard my older sister cry so unrestrainedly in front of me...

"By the way, what happened at home?"

Although Yukino Yukinoshita felt extremely disappointed in her family because of her father's death and her mother's cruelty, blood ties are not so easily severed.

"It's because of that shrine..."

Mentioning this, Yukinoshita Haruno gritted her teeth.

"'The Yukinoshita Family Shrine,' this was originally a secret known only to the successive heads of the Yukinoshita family..."

"The first head of the family, that old hag Yukinoshita Yukimiko, actually lives inside!"

"That old codger has been surviving since the Warring States period hundreds of years ago, all by devouring the magic and life of every man who marries into the Yukinoshita family!"

"My mother was bewitched by that old hag, which is why she decided to kill my father!"

Although her sister's explanation seemed problematic, Yukino Yukinoshita didn't care at all.

Real? The truth? The real thing?

What is that?

In this world, the only things that truly matter are peace of mind and everything that can give you that peace of mind...

Wait, "reassured"...

"By the way, Kurosaki-san... where's Kurosaki-kun?"

"Pull your head out of the ravine in Yukinoshita's eyes," Yukinoshita asked urgently.

"Don't you remember? It was Kurosaki-kun who rescued us!"

Yukino's eyes instantly turned into little stars.

"I never expected Kurosaki-kun to be such a powerful magician. He used his magic to set a trap and seal that old hag away!"

As she spoke, Yukinoshita's eyes dimmed.
