Next, Shen Er, what's your business?

Chapter 245 Arya Zongren VS Aozaki Orange
"...Wang Xian"

Inadvertently, a short rhyme came.

The black cat that swallowed Aruba's body up to his shoulder stopped moving.Cheng Zi, who watched the development of the matter like a bystander, also reacted immediately to this voice.

Behind Aruba, stood a man.The man's face was filled with unbearable distress, his face was serious, and he was wearing a black coat.

He seemed to have been here from the beginning, and there was no sign of him appearing at all.The man in black grabbed Aruba with one hand and easily pulled him out of the black cat's mouth and placed him on the floor.The black cat touched one of the triple barriers on the man, so he couldn't move.

The man turned to the woman below, and with his movement, the previously relaxed air gradually disappeared, as if to welcome the real owner, the apartment itself couldn't help feeling tense.

"—Long time no see, Aozaki."

"Ah, each other, although I don't want to see you, that's all. However, your presence here means that Shi her—"

The first floor and the second floor—as if divided into heaven and earth, Chengzi confronted the culprit named Ren Araya.

"She has fallen into my hands."

Araya calmly told the helpless reality.

"Looks like I'm a step too late."

"No, you came early. It was supposed to end all this without you knowing. It seems that Aruba has gone too far. No way, I can't prepare 64 bodies by myself."

"I'm afraid it's more than that, the injury on your body is caused by Shi-"

Cheng Zi locked his eyes on Huang Ye's chest and neck, where there was a knife wound, and the bones were visible.

"—If I had suffered such an injury, I would be dead by now."

"As you said, I'm in a very bad state right now."

Araya didn't hide his serious injury, because he knew that it was meaningless.

"If possible, I would like to chat with you a few more words, but sorry, my body does not allow me to do so."

"Well, it seems that Shiki is fine for the time being. To be on the safe side, I'd like to ask you—do you plan to return Shiki?"

"You can do whatever you want."

"Hmph, that means you can only fight once? Really, I'm not good at fighting in the first place, so I should leave this kind of thing to that brat."

"I'll also ask you just to be on the safe side. Aozaki, are you going to help me?" Araya said with the same hostile eyes and murderous will.

Cheng Zi answered—her amber eyes clearly conveyed her will: never.

"...Really, what a pity."

With heavy distress on his face, the magician walked up the stairs step by step.

"...The road to the root has been obtained. My wish will be realized in a few steps. I will regard anyone who comes in the way as a restraining force."

The air in the hall was getting tighter and tighter.The air froze, with a sense of dangerous oppression that might have been distorted by the magician's murderous intent.

Among them, she looked at her former classmates from a distance.In the end, she asked Araya Muneren as a magician, Aozaki Touko.

"Ara, what are you after?"

"True wisdom."

"Ara, where are you pursuing?"

"Only in my heart." The man replied without hesitation, and the sound of footsteps stopped at the entrance of the stairs.

In order to exclude each other's existence from the world, the two began to act.

Araya raised a hand from under the black coat.

Slowly, raise your left hand to shoulder height.Its palms are opened weakly, as if calling someone far away.

He confronted his opponent with one hand raised.This is the fighting posture of the mage Ren Araya Soren.

On the other hand, Aozaki Chengzi just looked up at the black magician, the suitcase under her feet was still, and she was engrossed in watching the enemy's actions.

Her familiar black cat is currently sealed behind Araya and cannot move.

Cheng Zi has already seen through Araya's triple barrier around himself.

It is the magician's spider silk that is erected between the ground and space, plane and three-dimensional, as long as the creature touches the line that forms a circle, it will be instantly deprived of power.

Generally speaking, a barrier is a boundary that protects something that does not move and does not move.Carry it around yourself, you can clearly see it but you can't feel it, making it attack the enemy like a monster.So if there is no targeted means, Araya Soren can be said to be invincible in close combat.

But on the other hand, Huangye Zonglian only had this move.Unlike Aruba, he has no means of direct attack, and the only way to get rid of oranges is to engage in hand-to-hand combat.Araya is a man who has passed through the turbulent era, and only uses his body to fight. There is no one who can match him in today's world, but in Orange's cognition, there is no such thing.

But even knowing this, Cheng Zi still waited for him to approach.Of course, she didn't intend to engage in close combat with Araya, that would be tantamount to seeking her own death, she was just waiting for an opportunity to attack the moment Araya came down the stairs to the hall.

However, the magician just stood in front of the stairs and moved the outstretched hand slightly.

"—Su." Accompanied by a low shout, Araya's open palm was suddenly clenched.

Cheng Zi's body began to vibrate at the same time, and her coat, which could cover the circuits of various magic systems, turned into fragments and scattered on the ground.

It was an impact invisible to the eyes, hitting the whole body from all directions evenly, and Cheng Zi couldn't help but kneel down.

That is a completely different attack method from the one with Shinji.That time, Araya was only putting pressure on the atmosphere.This time, he completely crushed the space where Cheng Zi was standing.To give an example, it was like being hit by a car before, but now it's like being run over by a steamroller all over your body.

Realizing what happened, Chengzi clicked her tongue in disbelief. She didn't expect Araya to have the kind of magic that can affect space with just a little movement.

"... I got hit. Damn it, how many ribs were broken?" Cheng Zi swallowed the blood gushing out of his mouth while confirming the damage to his body.

For Cheng Zi who has not exercised, she cannot accurately judge her injury like Shen Er.All she could be sure of was that her life could be saved because of the coat.If hit again, it will definitely be crushed.

Then, she can't show mercy
"—Go!"

Before the words were finished, the black cat whose movements had been sealed suddenly moved.

The stiffness just now was just acting, and the black cat rushed towards Araya who was confidently turning his back on it.

"what!"

Araya showed a hint of surprise and quickly turned around, then opened her outstretched palm without pausing and clenched it tightly again.There was a "hum" vibration around.

Cheng Zi saw the space in front of Araya, which was collapsing step by step towards the inside.The black cat jumped up before being crushed.Like the counterforce of gravity, it stands on the ceiling and looks at the magician.

"So far."

The other hand, hidden under the black coat, squeezed the palm tightly.The black cat was crushed together with the ceiling.A hole was opened in one corner of the ceiling, and the black cat was compressed until it couldn't see its eyes, and then disappeared.

"Your chess piece has disappeared... You said in the academy that a magician does not need to be a strong person, as long as he can make the strongest item...Indeed, when the puppet master loses, it is equal to losing gone."

Araya turned to look at Chengzi again, opened his palms and said so.

Cheng Zi listened to this passage with an unhappy face.

"Well, what I said is still correct. However, you are really amazing. This is equivalent to your body, and you can destroy the space as you like. I have already jumped into a huge magic... Hmph, since you are ready to come here At this point, why are you almost driven to a dead end?"

"—It is not easy to capture her alive. If you are not careful, you may break her into pieces, but it is different now. I will use all my strength to deal with the opponent who deserves to be killed."

"I hope you won't be self-defeating."

After recovering the posture that was about to fall to the ground, Chengzi slowly leaned against the wall.

"Araya, there are three ways to scare people, you know? First, monsters must not speak out. Second, monsters must remain unknown. Third, monsters are meaningless unless they are immortal."

"——!" Araya seemed to have thought of something, and turned around quickly.

On the ceiling that should have been destroyed, the black cat lived as if nothing had happened.

"—Su!" He clenched his fist towards the ceiling, and the space was compressed in an instant.

The black cat wobbled at the contortion, jumped down towards the magician, and snapped its mouth open.Araya couldn't escape, and was bitten off.

"—Hmm!" He yelled out a death-like moan.

With a sound of "Shua", the magician had no time to fight back and lost more than half of his body.

Only the head and shoulders of the magician fell to the ground with a "boom", and with a dead or distressed expression, the piece of flesh that was once the magician rolled down the stairs.

While observing the scene calmly, Cheng Zi said briefly:

"If you want to solve it, you have to kill it with one move. Araya, that's how sneak attacks are."

Cheng Zi left the wall, turned and walked out.

At this moment, she felt her back was pushed hard by someone, her wobbly body could no longer keep her balance, and she fell to the ground in embarrassment.

Before she could figure out what happened, a dull sound like dead wood hitting leather reached her ears.

Immediately afterwards, a dark cloak appeared in front of her eyes.

The owner of the cloak has curly blue hair and is holding a short knife to protect her behind her.

"Shinji?"
