Type-Moon, I'm a magician, is that true?

But perhaps it smelled a little too good, the nun and the priest subconsciously wanted to get closer, feeling uncontrollably dazed.

Youzhu stretched out his arms to stop them, his voice cold: "If you want to die, I won't stop you, but if you don't, hold your breath and step back."

There was a magical power in the words, which immediately woke the two men up and frightened them so much that they took several steps back.

"Miss Kuonji!" Sister Weijia sternly accused, "Shouldn't you have warned me about this situation sooner? It's too dangerous."

Even the priest, who had always been smiling, could no longer pretend to be relaxed: "This is really dangerous. It turns out that the magic inherited from the witch cannot be taken lightly."

"Heh." Youzhu smiled contemptuously, not caring about the accusations of the two men at all. Nothing happened anyway, right? It was obviously because of their own carelessness.

On the other side, in just a few tens of seconds, the smoke emitted by the small pot had covered the body on the ground. The covered area began to fluctuate like the reflection on the water, gradually merging with the smoke, and finally even the shape disappeared in a blurred manner.

When Youzhu took back the small pot, the corpse on the ground had disappeared, only blood remained in the cracks of the floor.

Seeing this magical scene, the priest couldn't help but sigh: "No matter how many times I have seen it, fairy tale magic is still so magical, it simply doesn't make sense."

"..."

Youzhu did not respond. She had no good feelings towards the church. The only reason she didn't take action against them now was because she was afraid of trouble. She had other things to do now.

"Let me ask you a question." The witch's tone was calm, but there was an expectation hidden in it that no one had noticed.

"Did you drive away the vampires here?"

"No, the vampire disappeared before we came." The priest was surprised that Youzhu would ask this question.

"Oh, I see." Youzhu understood. She had gotten the answer she wanted, so she left decisively, ignoring the two people behind her who were hesitant to speak.

'Very close.'

She thought to herself, and her steps became lighter.

She still had some questions in her mind that had not been answered, and she couldn't waste tonight's time.

But just as Youzhu walked out of the house, before she had gone far and hadn't even shaken off the church duo behind her, she heard the anxious chirping of starlings in the sky.

"Chirp!"

The bird perched on Youzhu's shoulder called anxiously.

"?!" Slowly, Youzhu showed a shocked expression, as if the bird had said some unbelievable news.

"Aoko...is she injured and unconscious?!"

She muttered the information repeatedly, and even the two church members behind her couldn't believe it. They looked at each other with serious expressions.

Chapter 28 Qingzi was defeated again

Let's turn back the time to when Aiwen and Qingzi separated.

Aiwen lagged behind Qingzi for a distance and did not follow the downhill path at the school gate. Instead, he walked in a straight line over the hill and the roofs of the single-family houses and headed straight for the neighborhood he was to patrol.

On the other side, although Qingzi was a little embarrassed, she could only walk on the main road to go home honestly, instead of jumping on the roof like Aiwen.

The reason is that Qingzi's magic skills are too poor. Not to mention Youzhu, she is not even as good as Aiwen. At least Aiwen has no problem performing suggestion magic, but Qingzi can't even pronounce the spell correctly.

"Damn it, this fight was such a loss."

Qingzi walked on the street with big strides, but it was hard to tell whether she took such big steps to avoid the strange looks of passers-by.

After all, she was covered in dust, and her clothes had some small cuts on them, as if she had rolled on the ground.

"Guh."

There was nothing Qingzi could do except endure it. She could only speed up her pace and even jog in the end.

Finally, the embarrassing look disappeared, and now Qingzi had run to the edge of the city, at the end of a deserted road.

In front, winding up the mountain road, is the Western-style house of the Kuonji family.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa..."

Qingzi bent over and supported her knees, breathing heavily. This short run made her very tired, but for her dignity, it was worth it.

"It's completely dark now. I really wasted too much time today."

Looking up at the sky, the moon was already high in the sky, and the white moonlight like a veil was sprinkled on the road, barely preventing people from getting lost.

Aoko shook her long hair and stepped onto the long mountain slope in front of her. She was not in a hurry to go home now, because there was no point in returning to the mansion.

"Oh, what on earth has Youzhu been doing these past two days? I don't see her when I go home, and I don't see her before going to bed. She's been wandering outside every day."

Thinking of this, Qingzi kicked a small stone away sadly.

"I used to envy Youzhu for being able to own a large villa, but these days I just don't want to live there anymore. Living alone in such a large mansion is simply terrifying. Even the air feels so much colder."

"Should I pester Youzhu to take me with her tonight..."

The voice of talking to himself suddenly became smaller, Qingzi stopped abruptly, swung his left foot, and cast his gaze towards the towering hillside beside him.

The hillside was covered with tall trees and was pitch black at night, as if even the light was avoiding that dark area.

Qingzi took a stance to meet the enemy, tightening his core so he could dodge at any moment.

"It seems like there are uninvited guests."

A sense of crisis always lingered around her, and the rustling sound she heard also carried a malicious temptation.

It's the enemy!

Qingzi made a decisive judgment, and she instinctively realized that this enemy was not on the same level as Aiwen, whom she had previously arbitrarily identified as an enemy.

It’s not that she thinks Aiwen is weak, but the “determination” of the two is very different.

During the battle on the rooftop, although the attacks were not light, both Qingzi and Aiwen could feel the other party's attitude. It was more at the level of fun and competition, and there was no determination to survive even if it meant risking everything.

But now, regardless of the opponent's strength, that look was extremely cruel, a predatory look that wanted to tear her apart and devour her.

There is no possibility of a peaceful ending.

A flash of light appeared on his arm, and the runes of the magic bullet began to appear. Qingzi estimated his own condition and hesitated a little.

"Oh no! I only have a quarter of my magic power left, and my stamina is even lower because of the long run just now. I'm not at full strength before I even start fighting. This is so unlucky."

"Unfortunately, Youzhu isn't home right now. Even if we make a noise, we won't get any help."

It really seems like a trap set up against her, Qingzi thought uneasily.

Suddenly, the sound in the forest became a little louder. Before Qingzi could react, the originally small sound suddenly became sharp.

“Oh…!”

Before he could finish his words, a pitch-black arm shot out from the darkness of the forest at an extremely fast speed.

"Magic bullet!"

A blue light flashed in his right hand, and magic power flowed towards the mark at an extremely fast speed. The speed at which the magic bullet was generated and launched was even faster than the stabbing arm.

"Oh!"

With a loud bang, a large amount of heat burned the flesh, and the momentum imparted directly broke it into two parts.

The forest creature wailed and withdrew its arm.

"Huh, it looks like the enemy is only at this level, we can win!"

Qingzi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she saw that the magic bullets could actually cause damage. Now she was just an extremely biased magic apprentice. Apart from being good at magic bullets, her other aspects were simply dismal.

If you encounter an enemy that the magic bullet is effective against, your chances of winning are very high. If you encounter an enemy that is ineffective against, you can only run away, and you may not even be able to escape.

"Then, it's time to let the other party have a taste of the big magic bullet. Dare to attack me by surprise? Humph, I will beat it into a sieve."

Aoko declared confidently.

The enemy in the forest was not sure whether it was angered by these words or resentful because of the pain just now. With a strange clicking sound, it rushed out of the woods.

The moonlight illuminated it equally, and its strange structure was completely exposed to Qingzi's eyes.

She was shocked and at a loss for a moment.

The creature that caught her eye... no, it was bloated in human form, much taller than an ordinary person, with thin limbs but an unusually plump body, giving it a strange beauty.

But what surprised her most was her right hand, which was slowly recovering. Qingzi could tell at a glance that it was the injury caused by her magic bullet.

But now it is almost intact, as if it had never been injured.

This situation made Qingzi bite her lip helplessly: "This is not good, could this be the vampire that Youzhu told me about?"

The moment she saw the enemy, Qingzi knew that all the previous plans had to be overturned and started over again.

I don't know the upper limit of the opponent's recovery ability, nor do I know if the remaining magic power I have is enough. There is too little information at the moment and it is difficult to make a decision.

"We can only run." Qingzi decisively gave up on defeating the opponent: "We should run to the mansion. Although Yuzu is not here, the poly that she left behind to protect the mansion is there. As long as we go back, we will have a chance."

The question now is whether the enemy will give her a chance to escape.

"Roar!"

Obviously not. After seeing that Qingzi intended to retreat, the humanoid figure burst out at an astonishing speed and shot straight towards him.

"Varied……!"

Qingzi hurriedly dodged, using all her strength to move to the side. Fortunately, her motor skills were pretty good, and she barely managed to escape.

"That's great." Qingzi breathed a sigh of relief. Following this trajectory, the other party would not be able to hit her.

But for some reason, the ominous premonition has not weakened at all until now, but has become stronger.

"Kick!"

At this moment, just as she passed by the humanoid, a very obvious mechanical sound reached her ears.

"!"

Time seemed to slow down countless times. In Qingzi's eyes, the huge body of the human figure expanded even more, and the smell of the curse magic was so strong that it was visible to the naked eye.

"Tear."

There was no explosion as imagined, only the sound of gentle muscle tearing, and Qingzi's eyes were covered with gray shadows.

The curse that was passed down in Northern Europe broke out very close to her.

Chapter 29: Near Death

"It's over."

The moment the curse broke out, Qingzi knew that she had lost. Even if she had magic power and could resist a certain amount of curse, she could not withstand it.

The curse before him was so thick that it took on substance, filling the entire area with a gray haze like smog. Qingzi, who was in it, even lost her vision.

"Ugh & Aaaaaaaaah!"

The curse was pervasive, seeping in from the mouth and nose, from the ears, from the eyes, and from every pore of the body. Severe pain and an incomparable sense of decay spread throughout the body.

"Okay, I'm so tired..."

Qingzi was so tired that she couldn't even open her eyelids. The pain in her body was like burning cells, making her want to scream out, but she didn't even have the strength to open her mouth.

"Hoo, breathe..."

All she could do now was to try her best to keep breathing and delay death.

"However, such persistence won't delay us for much longer. The enemy... ahem, a familiar, right? Then there must be a magician behind the scenes."

Her eyes were blurred to the point of double vision, and her internal organs were ruptured, causing blood to flow from the corners of Qingzi's mouth every time she coughed.
