In Type-Moon, people create a magic family lineage

This skill of 'manipulating the current' is something that even Lu Kang, who had accumulated experience over many generations, could not achieve.

Even though he also possesses the mystery of the power and authority.

However, his power and his mystery both originate from himself. Although he has forged himself into a 'god,' he has not connected with the source due to the limitations of the times. His path is more like drawing a 'circle' of the whole house within himself, transforming himself into the 'source.'

Therefore, he never mastered the power of magic.

and so.

This level of mystery made him even more curious.

In Misaki City, the magic of the 'Aozaki' family is extremely useful to him!

Such thoughts were running through my mind, and also in the long, drawn-out hum of the air friction caused by the plane landing.

Lu Kang sat upright and looked out the window again.

Under the approaching evening sky, one can see scattered sparks of light nestled among the rolling mountains.

I saw a remote city that was adjacent to the mountains and could not be described as prosperous.

It is located here.

Quiet and silent, yet carrying the charm of an ancient era.

It's like being isolated from the world.

...

"Tsk, failed again?"

"That little girl from the Kuonji family is such a troublesome fellow!"

In the dimly lit basement, the flickering green phosphorescent light cast a chilling glow. Countless pale limbs, bound by transparent threads and suspended in mid-air, twisted and swayed. The sheer number of these figures covering the walls and surroundings sent shivers down one's spine with just a glance. Amidst this chaos, a figure sat upright before a table resembling a bar counter, his eerie green eyes behind glasses and his face beneath short, crimson hair filled with displeasure.

"Orange, do you want to continue?"

As the woman finished speaking, a subtle ripple filled the air, followed by a childish, androgynous voice replying, "How about I..."

"No need to rush, Beo."

Orange let out a long breath, as if she had calmed down a bit. She raised the wine glass on the table in front of her, took a small sip of the crimson wine, and spoke again as the wine dripped down her red lips and onto her slightly open collar, revealing a patch of white skin:

"He's just a brat."

"While this fairytale-like magic trick is indeed commendable, it's a pity that this little girl doesn't understand the true nature of competition in the magic world..."

"The doll that infiltrated that mansion."

"Eyes peering around."

"A constant stream of harassment."

"And you, my trump card, the nemesis and killer of all magicians, Beo."

"With just her and my half-baked sister who, despite inheriting the mark, still can't master magic, there's no way she can protect the management of the ley lines here, or the 'magic' within her!"

As soon as the woman finished speaking, she drank the wine in her glass in one gulp.

But Beo's voice did not ring out again.

If it were before, upon hearing Aozaki Touko say that she was the nemesis and killer of all modern magicians, it would have thought it was only natural, and that it was true.

But now——

"That guy is a true 'monster'."

As someone who had signed a contract with the Golden Wolf Beowulf, Aozaki Touko could naturally sense the Golden Wolf's emotions and guess his inner thoughts. The woman seemed carefree but was actually quite perceptive. She put down her wine glass again: "Inheriting the mystery of Luvist and Tuval, he can no longer be regarded as a modern magician."

"Losing to him doesn't mean you're imperfect, much less weak."

"It's a pity... I originally planned to use Kenneth's name to send you back to the Clock Tower for a period of study, to gain a deeper understanding of modern magic, and then to travel to Northern Europe and other places to broaden your horizons."

"But that guy is there, and I've also made a pact with him and that monster from the Barthemello family. I can't stay in Europe for the time being."

"It's alright, although it's too early."

"However, it seems that my half-baked sister hasn't even started yet!"

It was partly to comfort the other person.

Aozaki Touko muttered this, partly to comfort herself.

Unfortunately, Beowulf did not respond to her rare 'delicacy', but instead remained in a long silence.

Aozaki Touko clicked her tongue, and was about to say something as well.

She raised her hand to grab the wine bottle placed next to her—but suddenly, she grasped at nothing.

Orange was stunned.

Finally realizing something was wrong, she raised her eyes.

Breathing, too, froze for a moment—

"Good evening, Senior Orange." The boy in front of us shook a bottle of wine in one hand with a smile on his face, while carrying a suitcase in the other hand. His black trench coat gave him a travel-worn look.

Only his handsome face remained unchanged, exuding charm...

It emitted an extremely terrifying sound: "I've come to kill you and silence you!"

!! ?

Next second,

Orange instinctively let out a pig-like scream.

Chapter 143 The Largest Landlord in the Far East

A shrill voice echoed in the already cramped space, almost tearing at the eardrums. Aozaki Touko's red lips parted, revealing her pearly teeth, as if she were genuinely frightened—if one disregarded the terrifying, razor-sharp force hidden within her scream... Lu Kang, standing close by, glanced sideways, his expression unchanged, and said, "It seems like you've become a little timid after just a few days, senpai?"

"You even have a magic crest on your tongue that can be activated instantly—you're really cautious!"

This sound is clearly a kind of magic, a mysterious technique engraved into a magic mark that can be passed down within a family, preserved for generations, and can be activated instantly by simply infusing magic power.

And it's quite obvious that this doesn't belong to Aozaki Touko herself.

After all, Aozaki Touko never received the mark from her family that inherited 'magic'!

Aozaki Touko's voice abruptly stopped. Seeing the boy in front of her remain unharmed and motionless despite being covered by her voice at such close range, the look of fear on her face faded, but the surprise in her eyes was still hard to hide.

The fear is false.

Surprise is, of course, genuine.

"you..."

How did you get here?

That's what she wanted to ask.

She finally understood why Beowulf, who was usually so talkative, was so quiet today—it wasn't because of the previous setback, but because the guy who had cast such a painful shadow over it had returned!

She even entered this 'magic workshop' without making a sound!

"Didn't I say I came here to kill him and silence him?"

In response, Lu Kang reiterated his "purpose," half joking and half serious.

The tall, handsome young man stared directly at the young woman before him, especially at her 'demon eyes' hidden behind her glasses, gleaming with a ghostly blue light, and spoke slowly and deliberately.

The woman with short red hair had a beautiful face that appeared flawless and natural under the glow of the distant, blue phosphorescent light, without a trace of artificial enhancement. Her dark green coat was slightly open, revealing her slender waist. The hem of the coat parted, revealing her legs, which were crossed and slightly tense, as she sat sideways on a bar-like platform. Her hips were slightly exposed between the chairs, making her appear beautiful. But in the instant Lu Kang finished speaking, he could clearly catch a glimpse of the butterfly-wing-like iridescent patterns that flashed by, the intricate patterns engraved all over her body. These patterns were not regular, and were not magic circuits inherited from bloodlines, but rather traces of countless 'magical imprints' that had been activated in an instant!

Not just the tongue.

This woman's entire body was covered with magical markings.

And at this moment, under Lu Kang's 'coercion', their instincts kicked in.

Lu Kang, however, was not surprised at all. He simply leaned back slightly with a light laugh to create some distance between them. He clicked his tongue in amazement and simply commented, "I really don't know what those people were after, provoking the senior sister and ending up with their magic mark stripped away, reduced to puppets, and suffering a fate worse than death."

Since the magic crest on Aozaki Touko's body is not her own, it can only be from someone else.

Bearing the name of 'Sealing Designation', she walks the mystical side, which is like carrying a fortune in the market. Naturally, she will attract the fear of countless people—not only those who belong to the Sealing Designation Execution Bureau of the Mage Association, but also those magicians who covet her mystery.

And seeing how Aozaki Touko is still traveling safely around the world, one can imagine what will become of those people.

Looking at the dense array of magic markings on her body, one can understand that the covetousness of others may not be a bad thing for this woman.

Even in theory, a magic crest can only be inherited and used by a suitable descendant of the family bloodline—once the original owner dies, the crest will also collapse due to the break in the connection.

However, as a 'Grand Puppeteer', Aozaki Touko, who possesses the highest level of skills that are almost like human body training, was able to keep those people alive while peeling off the imprint while maintaining a connection with its original owner.

The phrase "living a life worse than death" perfectly describes them.

In this regard.

Regardless of the fact that we had already met once before.

Lu Kang had already heard of Aozaki Touko's infamous reputation.

Now that I've witnessed it with my own eyes, I can't help but offer a few words of 'sharp commentary'!

During this time, Aozaki Touko felt a sense of relief as Lu Kangna's threatening presence receded into the distance. The magic crests she activated in that instant were all based on instinct, instinctively sensing an invincible enemy and reacting like her hair standing on end.

She wasn't surprised that Lu Kang had seen through her facade.

The 'crisis' subsided at that moment, but I only felt weak and my back was covered in cold sweat.

We met just now.

The other person hasn't given her that feeling yet.

This little monster seems to have gotten stronger?

No.

It's highly likely that he had never shown his full strength in front of him before, right?

This oppressive and terrifying aura was comparable to, or rather, far surpassed, that of her grandfather, who was a mage in the past!

Aozaki Touko's expression was a mix of emotions.

Then they saw Lu Kang leisurely 'visiting' the surroundings.

"Is this the magic workshop that the scholar used to defeat countless members of the Sealing Execution Bureau, one of the countless Garan Halls?"

"It's really not simple."

"I almost got lost when I walked in from outside."

Is it just 'lost'?

For a moment, Aozaki Touko couldn't tell whether it was a compliment or sarcasm. After calming down a bit, she took a deep breath, suppressed the lingering fear in her heart, pushed up her glasses, and immediately put on the same smile as last time.

She didn't take Lu Kang's repeated mention of 'murder to silence' to heart.

She knew that if this 'monster' truly wanted to kill her—to destroy her body—a single moment would suffice.

She will never truly die.

So she was able to remain calm.

Calmly, he said, "Located in an abandoned building in the most unknown corner of Misaki City, it has multiple expulsion barriers on the outside, and each street inside has its own space distortion spell. Along the way, I have placed countless 'moving puppets' with internally carved 'barrier magic' that can impulsively move the walls—"

"In addition, it operates at full capacity under the power of the underground spiritual vein nodes."

"It was worth it to almost make the junior student 'get lost'!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Kang paused slightly and looked at the short-haired woman with glasses who was wearing a seemingly charming smile. The lenses of Aozaki Touko reflected the dark blue firelight like ripples, and she laughed out loud as their eyes met.

"There's an old saying in China: 'Those who understand the times are heroes.' Senior, you truly understand the essence of this saying, coming from the highly learned China." Lu Kang saw through Aozaki Touko's 'surrender' and casually teased her.

Although she didn't know what this 'monster' was doing here, Aozaki Touko also had her own purpose here; she didn't want to abandon this body here.

She was practically ready to surrender, all that was left was to raise her hands.

Magicians have no concept of dignity.

What's more, she had done something similar before.

It was worth it for Lu Kang to immediately use his divine thinking as soon as he got off the plane, instantly analyze Aozaki Touko's location and rush over.

Although he is not omniscient or omnipotent, many things can hardly stand in his way before his divine thoughts.

His visit was certainly not just a casual visit.
