Abnormal Moon

It's strange, really. Even though Roy was picked up by Aoko, he's closer to Touko.

"I have a lot of issues with you, but we'll talk about that later."

Aozaki Aoko turned around, her face revealing undisguised displeasure and disgust.

"I smell a terrible stench. Is that rotten old geezer, rotten to the core, still alive?"

Suddenly.

A rustling sound came from the green belt not far away.

The group turned to look and saw a hunched and short figure fleeing in panic, like a stray dog.

"Damn it, why am I being targeted by a mage again?"

Zouken Matou originally came to observe the battle situation, but he was startled by Aozaki Aoko as soon as he arrived and turned to run away without thinking.

"For the past three years, I haven't dared to even entertain the slightest thought of revenge, not even that android. Why am I getting involved with these two people again? Is fate so cruel to me?"

"Matou-dirish inkstone!"

Without hesitation, Rin Tohsaka threw the gem in her hand with her enhanced arm strength.

The gem, trailing a comet-like contrail, landed above Zouken Matou's head and blossomed, transforming into a cone-shaped cage that imprisoned him.

Zouken Matou's expression darkened further, but he immediately gave a cold laugh, seemingly unconcerned.

"Hmph, fine, you can destroy this body as you please, but don't be so smug. I'm not that easy to give up. Be prepared to welcome my return at any time!"

"That old bastard!"

Rin Tohsaka glared at him through gritted teeth, wishing she could roast Zouken Matou's soul on the fires of purgatory for ten thousand years.

She looked at Aozaki Aoko, hesitated for a moment, but then spoke up firmly.

"Lord Qing, forgive my intrusion, but do you have a method to finish him off?"

"I'm not very good at this type of thing."

Aozaki Aoko was completely unpretentious; she simply shrugged.

She also loathed Zouken Matou, but she really couldn't completely crush him.

If it were magic, it would be nothing to mention, but magic involving time cannot be used casually.

Specifically, any change in the timeline can disrupt the balance of entropy. If something is taken away from a point in time, something of equal mass must be put back in order to maintain the stability of time.

If we just take things without paying a price, the world will inevitably run into big problems sooner or later. Even a tiny butterfly can cause a storm, and any small change in time could lead the world to its end. We can't drag the world down a ditch just to kill a mere Matou Zouken.

"Aoko is only good at destruction."

Roy forced a weak smile with his pale face and added a sentence.

"She's basically useless in other areas, otherwise why do you think she has the nickname 'human rocket launcher' in the Magic Association?"

Aozaki Aoko smiled slightly, then slapped Roy's shoulder hard with her right hand.

"I really hated that nickname."

"Stop, stop! Please stop! It was my fault, my arm hurts so much..."

Roy managed to escape from Aoko's clutches after saying a lot of conciliatory words.

"Leave it to me. In the past three years, I have specially learned a technique for targeting the soul."

"You won't be making a comeback this time!"

Roy stepped forward, passed through the barrier, took out several black keys from his imaginary pocket, and plunged them into Zouken Matou's head like wolf claws.

"Could it be—?"

Zouken Matou's expression suddenly turned grim when he saw Roy pull out the black key.

"Baptismal chanting? Does someone like you even have faith in God?"

“I never need to meet any conditions to use my techniques.”

Roy forced a faint smile, though cold sweat still clung to his forehead.

It's not just pain.

He was still pushing his body, squeezing out his life force to create magic.

The Demon Eye opens.

A holy white light emanated from Roy's hand.

The power of baptismal chants, determined by the purity of one's faith, increased steadily under the amplification of Roy's Eye, soaring from believer to fanatic, and finally reaching the level of a saint.

Zouken Matou could sense it.

His already decaying soul was now being scorched by the sun.

This attack completely disregarded his physical body and purified his soul itself.

"Damn it... Stop! Stop right now! I haven't, I haven't achieved immortality yet—"

This level of baptismal chanting is enough to disregard all his incarnations and annihilate his soul.

In terror, Zouken Matou screamed and begged for mercy.

However, Roy remained unmoved.

"Just looking at you makes me sick. You should just die already, stop being a nuisance."

"Ughh ...

Like a stain under the sunlight, amidst screams, Zouken Matou's body and soul turned into black smoke, completely purified, leaving nothing behind.

Chapter 70 Spiral of Contradictions

The Aozaki mansion has a basement.

This is the magic workshop of the Aozaki residence. In principle, Kasumigaoka Utaha, Hayasaka Ai, and others are not allowed to enter. In the absence of Touko, only Roy can use this place.

This place not only stores a large number of magic books, but also some magical costumes made by Roy, rune paper and other items related to magic can be seen everywhere.

Roy usually practices magic here.

It was pitch black here, with no sunlight shining in at all. Only a few dim wall lamps were set up there, like the caves often found in ancient tombs, barely illuminating a small area.

Looking closely, one could see several corpses lying on the ground.

Both its limbs and torso are exactly the same as those of humans, without any difference.

His face, however, was completely blank.

Like a doll with its facial features cut off, it sends chills down your spine.

The atmosphere was so eerie that someone with a weak heart might faint on the spot.

And there was more than one such corpse in this basement.

The corpses lay scattered on the ground, motionless in the dim light, resembling a morgue and sending chills down one's spine.

Aozaki Touko opened the basement door.

Ignoring the eerie atmosphere, she walked through the door, her gaze sweeping over the several corpses on the ground. She selected one of them, then stepped forward and dismantled it.

Not long after, she returned to the mansion’s living room with a severed arm.

It was already midnight.

But everyone in the mansion had gathered here, and one or two of them had a look of panic on their faces.

The reason.

Roy, the pillar of this family, was sitting at the living room table. His right arm was severed at the shoulder, the cut surface was perfectly smooth, and the muscle fibers and bone marrow could be clearly seen.

The scene was horrifying; even Hayasaka Ai turned pale, and the Nakano sisters were too shocked to utter a word. Only Ilya remained unfazed.

Kasumigaoka Utaha sat next to Roy, looking at the shocking severed arm, and applied medicine to Roy with trembling hands.

"This was taken from your spare body."

Aozaki Touko entered the living room and placed the arm she had brought from the basement on the table.

She gestured for Kasumigaoka Utaha to step aside so she could take over the rest of the work.

"The size should be exactly the same, but the muscle fibers in this arm are denser and it's stronger than your original right arm. It will take you some time to get used to it."

Aozaki Touko immediately began the transplant surgery.

"If you can't stand it, then leave now."

Nakano Ichika glanced at Miku, who was trembling uncontrollably, and helped her away.

Hayasaka Ai went to the kitchen, leaving only Kasumigaoka Utaha and Illya behind.

"Master, may I say something?"

"Taigong Wang? What are you trying to say?"

Taigong Wang began speaking to Roy in his mind.
