To become a king and a magician

Incredibly, the giant was actually unable to immediately pull the Black Steel Spear from Arcueid's hand.

"boom--!"

At the same time, landing on the Black Steel Spear from the air, Aozaki Aoko instantly accelerated her magic to its maximum speed, speeding up along the Black Steel Spear and the giant's arm! In just about three seconds, the hundred-meter distance between her and Sajō Ayaka had shrunk to zero—

"Bang Bangbang——!"

In an instant, multiple magical acceleration enhancements were completed, and a punch like a rocket launch suddenly slammed into Sajō Aika!

however.

"Thump—!"

This punch went straight through Ayaka Sajou's body, creating a dent in the giant's body!

what happened?

Aozaki Aoko didn't have time to think about the question. She used her hands to support her body and decisively kicked the girl behind her again with a roundhouse kick!

Just like before, a swift kick passed right through Ayaka Sajou once again.

"The old man's magic?!"

“Something’s not quite right. It’s more like it’s touched on some magic from the second realm of magic,” Aika Sajou said with a smile. “Spatial displacement is a more advanced application of displacement magic.”

(Wouldn't this render physical interference completely ineffective?)

"How about using magic? Otherwise, as a magician, you're only average, not capable of—"

*Pfft!*

Before Aika Sajou could finish speaking, her body was suddenly split into eighteen pieces, and jet-black blood splattered out. But before the blood could completely splatter out, as if time had reversed, her body, which had been divided into eighteen pieces, was put back together as one.

"Imaginary materialization?" Ayaka Sajou looked down at Arcueid. "Turning space into a death zone of countless overlapping vacuum faults, pulverizing everything within it—that's quite a dangerous method of use, isn't it, Tsukihime-sama?"

"Unfortunately, this won't kill me. It'll probably take at least a hundred more times, right?"

"The premise is that you can still hold on to that point, and you still have the stamina to do so—you should be struggling to suppress your bloodlust soon, right?"

"Well......"

Whoosh!

Another punch passed through her body. Aozaki Aoko pursed her lips and said, "What did you mean by that just now?"

"It means exactly what it says. Since they are vampires, they must have the urge to drink blood, right? Even the princess of the True Ancestor is no exception. Although she has been suppressing it well all along, she is obviously about to give up now."

"Shut up!"

The vacuum fault regenerated, and Aika Sajou's body was shattered once again, but as if time were recreating itself, she reappeared unharmed in an instant.

"In order to avoid becoming a beast driven by the urge to drink blood, the True Ancestor would use most of his power to suppress the urge. In Tsukihime's case, she probably used up about 70% of her power, so she can only exert 30% of her power under normal circumstances."

Click—!

"But in terms of the result, this suppression is a one-time thing. I remember that Tsukihime's physical age is already eight hundred years old, right? That means her bloodlust has been suppressed for eight hundred years."

Sizzle—!

“Under normal circumstances, no matter how long you suppress it, it won’t erupt; you have that power. But unfortunately, you were killed once, and you used up most of your power to revive. Even with Avalon healing you, you should only have recovered about 60% of your power now, right?”

噗哧——！

"Relying on only 60% of your power is not enough to completely suppress the blood-sucking urge. And because you have suppressed it for 800 years, it may be impossible to suppress the blood-sucking urge now that it has erupted, even if you use all your power."

"Shut up!"

In the blink of an eye, space shattered!

Sajō Aika, along with the space she was in, shattered into countless pieces!

"Hmm, just now, I think it would have killed me in about thirty tries. Good luck, Tsukihime-nii-san!" The reborn Sajō Aika swung her little feet and laughed. "If you can keep going?"

Below, Arcueid was kneeling on the ground, panting heavily.

"------!"

Using a single finger to deflect Aozaki Aoko's fist as it swung again, Sajō Aika sighed, "I told you, it's best to use magic—but she definitely won't let you use it anyway."

"Well, we've had enough fun. Let's deal with them, [Flor]."

Scorching black flames and frigid black ice suddenly swept out! Aozaki Aoko and Arcueid were instantly engulfed—but this didn't happen, because before it did, the giant himself was frozen into an ice sculpture.

Realizing a fantasy – freezing it.

"Ugh—!"

Arcueid clutched her mouth in agony and suddenly knelt down, clenching her teeth tightly—Sajō Ayaka was right, she was almost at her limit.

(Is this the final manifestation of a fantasy? It's quite a struggle, isn't it?)

With the remaining power, if she were to thaw, she would be killed by Aozaki Aoko in four more attacks, right? Since Arcueid is already nearing her end, let's take advantage of the time while we still have enough power and go kill the fox spirit.

"Okay, let's do it that way."

The moment she thought this, Sajou Aika walked directly into the door opened by the spatial displacement and instantly arrived beside Natsukawa Torato.

"Oh no—"

"Ugh... Tiger..."

It's too late; you can't make it in time.

Sajō Aika reached out and grabbed Natsukawa Torami by the neck. Just one more stroke and she would be completely free, and then she could continue to pursue the prince!

But at that moment, a hand landed on Ayaka Sajou's arm.

"Have you made enough of a scene?"

Natsukawa Tora's voice rang out quietly, and Sajou Aika's composed expression vanished instantly. She panicked and tried to use the Chaos Tide to create a weapon to kill Natsukawa Tora once again!

But just as Aozaki Aoko and Arcueid couldn't get there in time, it was too late for her too.

Just like that night five years ago, the sky-blue demonic eye stared at her once again.

Sajo Aika suffered cardiac arrest.

45. Why are you using other people's things?

"Tiger, how long are you going to sleep?"

I heard Mary's voice in my ear.

Reluctantly opening his eyes, Natsukawa Torato's view was of Merry looking down at him, and petals fluttering everywhere.

"Hmm...Merry?"

"Good evening, Your Majesty. Did you sleep well?" Meryl asked with a smile. "If you've had enough sleep, can you get off my lap now? It's a little numb."

thigh?

Oh, that soft touch on the back of my head is Merry's thigh. Although I've seen it countless times before, I doubt Natsukawa Torato would ever get tired of seeing that leg shape, no matter how many times he looks at it.

“Merry… what am I doing…”

"Due to some unexpected circumstances, the little sister Aika, who is sealed inside you, is about to break free. And because she forcibly left the seal, your soul has been impacted," Meryl explained. "That's why you're here."

"By the way, I am not my original self now. I am just an insurance policy that my original self left in your mind for your safety. I will only appear when little sister Aika wants to cause trouble."

Has Ayaka Sajou broken free of her seal?

Come to think of it, it seems like before I lost consciousness... wait?!

"Sajyou Ayaka has broken the seal!?"

Xia Chuanhu suddenly jumped up from the garden: "Why didn't you say so sooner!"

"Who told you to sleep so soundly? I couldn't wake you up no matter what I did." Meryl flicked Natsukawa Torato's forehead in annoyance. "Besides, the reason you lost consciousness was because the part of Sajō Ayaka's power that left you cast a curse on you, putting you in eternal slumber. If it weren't for her breaking the curse, you could have slept until the end of the world."

"A curse? Did you break it for me?"

"Well, it is a curse related to sleep after all, and it's within my area of ​​expertise."

Brushing the petals off her body, Meryl stood up: "Alright, now that you're awake, let's hurry up and subdue little sister Aige who's throwing a tantrum, and throw her back into the dark room."

"By the way, it's not that Aika has completely left. Only a portion of her power has broken free. To put it simply, she's like an automaton. Although she can be a bit troublesome, you should be fine, right?"

"No problem. Thank you this time."

After finishing speaking, Xia Chuanhu closed his eyes, preparing to return to reality. By now, he was already used to waking up on his own.

However, Meryl suddenly patted his face: "Just one sentence?"

"what?"

"A single sentence to express your gratitude?" Mary pouted, pointing to her lips. "Give me something more substantial."

"Ugh...there's a huge crisis outside, so don't—ugh!"

Before Xia Chuanhu could finish speaking, Meili took a step forward and covered his mouth with her own.

"Okay, that's fine."

It was just a fleeting kiss, like a dragonfly skimming the water.

Meryl stepped back to her original spot: "Giving a blessing to a hero about to go to the battlefield—a kiss should still have some value, right?"

"You just want to see me blush and be shy, too embarrassed to kiss you, or blush and have my heart pound like a virgin after you forcefully kiss me, right?"

"Hey~~~ You've been spotted?"

Mary, her intentions seen through, chuckled lightly: "Well then, good luck, Your Majesty. I believe in you!"

————————————————————————

Consciousness returns to reality.

Seeing that Sajou Aika was choking him, Natsukawa Torai grabbed her wrist.

"Have you made enough of a scene?"

"Well!"

Subconsciously, Sajou Aika directly and voluntarily abandoned the arm that was being held, and retreated dozens of meters away in an instant.

Only after she stepped back did she suddenly realize, "Why did I step back?"
